Chapter 102: Laboratory Assistant
"Speaking of which, there's one thing I'm curious about...... What is your relationship with Councilor Su, and why would she write you a letter of recommendation?" the professor's voice came from above his head, and it was very clear.
The public-funded student who was looking up and his eyes wide open was speechless when he heard this question.
Zheng Qing felt that if it weren't for the fact that his eyes were now open to the maximum, he would definitely roll his eyes widely.
It seems that as long as you are still human, the psychology of gossip will not be missing anywhere. Even Professor Montella, who seems to be always strict, is not immune.
"Well, I have a little fox, and Councilor Su likes it very much...... So a small favor by the way. Zheng Qing replied vaguely.
This argument may not sound so convincing, but it is also reasonable.
After all, Su Shijun was born in the Qingqiu Su family, and it is understandable that he likes foxes, and it is not particularly difficult to write a simple letter of recommendation - especially since the recommended person was born in Jiuyou College, is still a public-funded student, and has won the Order of Merlin - from this point of view, this letter of recommendation feels more like a sedan chair.
"Get up. β
After Professor Montella finished the examination, he patted Zheng Qing on the shoulder and motioned for him to sit up.
By the time Zheng Qing sat up straight, the professor had already walked around to the back of the test bench and was throwing the silkworm skin gloves he had just taken off into the trash bin next to the table.
"Do you know the name of this lab?" the professor asked, raising his eyelids.
Zheng Qing immediately recalled the small words above the bronze door in his mind, and hurriedly replied, "I know, it's called Montella Laboratory." β
The professor's face darkened, and he snorted: "That name is the name I used when I applied for funding...... Under normal circumstances, most people would call this the 'Advanced Demon Script and Bloodline Research Laboratory'. β
As he spoke, the professor had already picked up the examination report he had just taken and flipped through it.
While flipping through it, he said, "Based on your current foundation, it was not suitable for you to stay in this laboratory......
Zheng Qing had the intention to correct it, he was just here to check his body, not to be a laboratory assistant. But before he could figure out how to speak, Professor Montella seemed to know what he was thinking.
β...... I know, you're here to do a blood test. But in my lab, it is not possible to get a free inspection report unless it is a test piece on the test bench. β
As he spoke, he raised the material in his hand, pointed at the large group of black-robed wizards who were busy behind Zheng Qing, and said, "Why do you think they came to my laboratory?"
Zheng Qing turned around and looked back.
The figures behind the rows of test benches were busy, no one was talking to each other, and no one was looking up to peek in this direction.
"That letter of recommendation just gave you the key to this lab. If you want to get more, then you should make an effort accordingly. β
Zheng Qing took a deep breath and nodded vigorously: "No problem." β
"Very well," Professor Montella tugged at the corners of his mouth, as if to praise the attitude of the scholarship students, but the failure of the effort made his expression look a little more stern: "Every Saturday afternoon, from 1 to 6 pm, I come to work in the laboratory. Compensatory leave is allowed, but absenteeism is not allowed. If everything goes well, your inspection report will be available in about three months. β
Zheng Qing secretly calculated in his heart, it is now February, and three months later will be May, just before the final exam, time allows. In addition, working in a laboratory can not only increase knowledge and experience, but also learn a lot, and it does not sound so bad, but rather bluffing.
After all, I was able to enter a formal laboratory just half a year after entering school, and when I chatted and bragged with friends, I could say that I was also an assistant in such a laboratoryβthis kind of rhetoric is much better than being punished for night patrols every Saturday last semester.
Therefore, when Professor Monteria took out the short-term contract, Zheng Qing read it carefully and immediately signed it.
After signing, the contract distorted in a cloud of white light, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a badge two fingers wide and an inch long.
The background color of the card is white, and the upper line is in small block letters 'Montella Laboratory', and on the lower left side is the title 'Laboratory Assistant', followed by Zheng Qing's name.
There is no scope of authority, no entry time, and no name for the profession in charge.
Zheng Qing estimated that he should be a miscellaneous assistant in this laboratory.
But the next work arrangement of the professor made him doubt his own speculation.
"Although your magic skills are not high, I heard Professor Emma mention in the last meeting that you have a good talent in this field. β
"In addition, you have a solid foundation in talisman science...... That's a very good point. My lab has been lacking in talent lately. β
"Although the magic script and the rune belong to two different disciplines, they are deeply bound by nature. β
"The magic text is the study of the consciousness of the world, and the rune is the study of the origin of the world...... You can understand them as twin flowers that bloom from the tree of truth. β
"Since you have a good foundation in talismans and a good talent for magical writing, then it just so happens that I have a suitable job for you to complete. β
As he spoke, the professor had already led Zheng Qing to an empty experimental table.
This laboratory bench is located to the left of the professor's main laboratory table, there are no other laboratories nearby, but there is a tall floor-to-ceiling window not far away. Through the glass window, you can see the eerie silent forest in the distance, and there is no other view.
The test bench was not similar to the complicated instruments on other test benches, but was messily arranged with some heavy tomes and some crumpled scratch paper.
Zheng Qing cautiously glanced at the drafts, which seemed to have the structure of some talismans and some traces of magic scripts.
"Don't be so careful, this testbed belongs to you. β
Professor Montella flexed his fingers and tapped lightly on the table, and the table top was immediately renewed, the drafts were neatly stacked together, and the tomes of books stood up tremblingly, trying to form a neat formation.
Zheng Qing licked his lips and looked left and right.
"You should familiarize yourself with the relevant requirements and systems in the laboratory first," Professor Montella didn't care about his small movements at all, and took out a pamphlet very casually, stuffed it to Zheng Qing, and instructed:
"You have an hour to familiarize yourself with this booklet, and in an hour I will give you an assignment to give me your views and ideas by five o'clock in the afternoon. β
Zheng Qing looked at the manuscript in his hand a little stunned, raised his head and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
But looking at the gray-haired professor's figure turning away, he finally closed his mouth and swallowed the saliva into his stomach.
