Your Thesis Didn't Pass? Step Aside, Your Advisor Will Defend It with Their Fists

[Comedy + wish fulfillment]

Xu Lang is Jiangnan University’s notorious slacker advisor in the graduate school.

Ever since he was promoted to associate professor, he hasn’t published a single paper in five years and has achieved nothing in research.

None of his students’ theses meet the requirements, so they’ve all had to delay graduation.

The dean had had enough and issued an ultimatum:

“Keep slacking off like this and you’re fired!”

Xu Lang chuckled. Did they really think he’d given up on life?

“Five years of lying flat are up. Welcome back, System!”

[Archmage System activated!]

[Help a student pass their thesis defense, and you’ll inherit the thesis results ten thousand times over!]

[System starter pack awarded: 1. Gift of Eloquence (Combat Edition); 2. Thesis Defense Tool: Titanium Alloy Brick (Knocks people senseless without brain damage)]

At the thesis defense, several professors grilled one of Xu Lang’s students.

“Your thesis is titled ‘Proving That 1 + 1 Does Not Equal 2’?”

“You think you’re qualified to research this?”

“You’ve got guts, I’ll give you that. Go home and prepare for a second defense!”

Xu Lang’s student burst into tears.

Then Xu Lang walked into the room!

“Don’t cry, you fool! Watch as your master opens the gates of heaven for you!”

Xu Lang swept his gaze around the room and said coldly:

“I will defend my fool of a student’s thesis myself.”

“And I hereby declare that this thesis does not need to be defended. It passes outright.”

“Who agrees, and who objects?”

The professors: “We all object! If this thesis passes, the whole edifice of mathematics will collapse!”

Xu Lang quietly pulled out his titanium alloy brick and persuaded them with virtue.

[Defense successful! Host has inherited the thesis result 1 + 1 ≠ 2 ten thousand times over!]

[Obtained the power of creation!]

Meanwhile, news of Xu Lang’s thesis defense spread across campus.

“Now that’s brutal. He defended it with violence?!”

“He’d smack someone with a brick for his students, and you call him a slacker advisor?”

“Is it too late to become Xu Lang’s student?”
