Then he spread his palms and addressed Xu Yun in the audience:

"This question will be answered by a professional. Dr. Xu, please."

Seeing this, Xu Yun stood up from the audience, brushed off his coat, and sighed internally with mixed emotions:

This favor from USTC is really a big debt to repay...

As he approached the podium, Zhang Rui smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said to the audience:

"Let me introduce to you, this is Dr. Xu Yun, a genius from the USTC young class.

Currently twenty-four years old, about to graduate with a doctorate.

He is also the initiator of this cockroach extermination campaign, and the inventor of the insecticide gel bait.

He is an expert on matters related to the gel bait, so he will be presenting to you."

Sparse applause quickly sounded from the audience.

In his previous life, Xu Yun had attended many high-level discussion meetings, so apart from gratitude towards USTC, he wasn't too nervous at this moment.

He took the microphone, adjusted it for a few seconds, and then said:

"Hello to all media friends and live stream viewers, I am Xu Yun, also known online as the 'Source of All Evil' by many netizens.

Not long ago, our team developed a new type of insecticide gel bait that is much more effective against cockroaches than existing insecticides.

Of course.

Compared to my introduction, the over one million cockroach carcasses in the square seem more convincing."

Another wave of good-natured laughter arose from the media corner.

After the laughter died down, Xu Yun continued:

"With the help of the school, we have established a biomedical company called Huadun Biotech, and the relevant patent and production qualification approvals are in the final stages.

If all goes well.

We will have a small number of products for trial sale within two weeks, and should officially launch sales within a month."

A female reporter from Wannan Tuantuan nodded and asked:

"So Dr. Xu, what about the price of the insecticide?"

"That still needs to be discussed; after all, our product's production qualification hasn't fully been approved yet."

"Dr. Xu, is this gel bait harmful to humans?"

"Of course not, it mainly targets nAchR and insect-specific sodium ion channels, so it wouldn't be a problem for humans, let alone cats, dogs, or even mice—unless you swallow about a pound or two in one go....."

"Dr. Xu..."

Seeing Xu Yun talk confidently at the press conference, Zhang Rui and Tian Liangwei exchanged a glance:

Although Xu Yun's performance on stage wasn't exaggerated enough to make one stroke their beard and praise 'this child will surely achieve great things', his present composure certainly marks him as having a big heart.

After all, not everyone can remain so composed in this situation.

And having a big heart is often a key foundation for someone to achieve great accomplishments.

Twenty minutes later.

Xu Yun finished his introduction and stepped down amidst applause.

At this moment, on the trending list, the popularity of Chen Shanshan, the Cockroach Lady, was soaring.

As for Xu Yun, not to mention ranking on the hot search, he didn't even have a topic marked with a hashtag.

But in some casually posted Weibo by individual users, the names Dr. Xu or Xu Yun were occasionally mentioned.

In a sense, this marked Xu Yun's first emergence into public view.

Although the feedback is currently sparse, at least many people now know that there is such a person at USTC.

If there's another opportunity in the future, these dormant yet unforgettable fragments of memory might explode with a force even stronger than Chen Shanshan's....

After Zhang Rui resumed control of the press conference, he routinely answered some questions.

An hour later.

The press conference officially ended.

As per tradition, after such a 'grand event', a celebration banquet is usually held, where school leaders will commend the achievement.

However, Xu Yun used the excuse of having diarrhea to hastily return to his little den.

Back in his room.

He quickly drew the curtains, locked the door, and re-entered that mysterious space.

At this moment.

The value on the door representing Dungeon 1665 showed only slight changes, from '3/100', it had increased to '10/100'.

But next to it, the door was displaying.....

"100/100".

...

Note:

The next dungeon remains unguessed, what a pity....
