Chapter 2175 Misconduct
“Do you want to choose to stay?”
After a long silence, Merlin turned his back to Gaheres and stood with his hands behind his back and said this lightly.
“Eh?!”
Wen Qiu’s eyes suddenly widened.
"Ah..."
Gaheres himself was also stunned, looking at Merlin with a confused expression.
“Heh.”
And Arthur, who was standing at the back, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and a faint smile flashed in his eyes.
After a while, Gaheres swallowed hard and asked in a low voice: "Teacher, what do you mean?"
"Literally."
Merlin played with his [Cane No. 1] and said without looking back: "The promise that Arthur just made to let you go is still valid, that little 'pocket money' Of course, it can also be regarded as the travel expenses I give you, but besides that... I can also give you another choice, That means staying here."
Gaheres nodded in fear, and then asked tentatively: "You mean...stay in this city?"
< br>“Stay where I am working, pursue the path of truth while being a generous and committed person to science. Provide technical support to sponsors who have enough respect and awe."
Merlin turned to look at Gahres and said admonishingly: "You can get a lot by staying as my assistant, but you must. Think clearly, Gaheres, the world is fair, and when you get something, you will also You have lost something, and as your mentor, there is only one thing I can tell you at this moment - don't make a decision in a hurry, think carefully about what you have seen along the way, and then re-examine yourself, re-examine your mentor, and finally Then be careful and choose the option that will make you less regretful. ”
Without any hesitation, faced with this choice that could firmly bring the relationship between himself and his mentor closer, Gaheres immediately said in a deep voice: "I am willing to stay, mentor."
"It's too hasty. "
However, the old man shook his head with some dissatisfaction, and said again in a warning tone: "Don't let me emphasize it again. This may be the most important decision in your life, and those that can make You nodded and agreed to the temptation of staying here without hesitation, which also means the same level or even more serious price. This is not an easy way to turn back."
Arthur walked slowly to the two of them. He shrugged and said with a smile: "Old people are like this. They always like to scare people and make things very serious. In fact..."
"Shut up."
Merlin expressionlessly interrupted King Bai, whose thoughts were clearly revealed, and said coldly: "There is no room for you to interrupt here."
"Okay, okay, I won't speak, I won't speak."
Arthur immediately raised his hands meekly in a gesture of surrender, then winked kindly at Gahres and made a face.
The latter took a deep breath after nodding politely to Arthur, and said sternly to Merlin: "I still stick to my previous idea, mentor, I am willing to stay, and I hope to stay, But..."
Merlin raised his eyebrows and repeated in a slightly raised tone: "But?"
"I have to stay with this child."
Gaheres turned to look at the man standing next to him, asking Qiu, who was very obediently, gently stroking the latter's hair while turning back to Merlin said sternly: "I don't think she is very suitable as a mentor. This is my working environment."
Merlin nodded slightly and said meaningfully: "So, the reason why you agreed so readily is because you have enough reasons to reject this offer?"
“No, I’m thinking deeply After careful consideration, I decide what I want to stay. I am a simple person, mentor, so even if it is a major event in life, it does not take too long to make a decision. Even if it does take a long time, the final answer is probably already at the beginning. It's doomed, and the rest of the time is actually It's self-struggle."
Gaheres defended himself politely and said seriously: "As for what you want to convey to me, I have partially understood it along the way, but it doesn't matter. , I... don’t mind.”
"No, of course you mind, so... is it for the truth?"
Merlin narrowed his eyes slightly and asked softly: Or is it for science?
"Well, I feel that I am not as high-level and ideologically aware as you."
Gaheres hesitated for a moment, and finally said honestly: "My words should be For the sake of the future.”
“A very pragmatic answer, after all, even I have experienced your current period.”
Merlin nodded, then looked down at Wenqiu: "You should be able to understand our conversation, child."
Wenqiu immediately nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice, and said repeatedly: "Yeah, yeah, I know!"
"Very smart."
The old man praised the girl without hesitation, and compared it with Gahres and Arthur. He asked in a relatively gentle tone: "Then, can you tell me your thoughts on this matter?"
"Yes!"
Wenqiu gave Merlin a big, bright smile, and said cheerfully: "Wenqiu wants Brother Lei to have a good future! He also wants Brother Lei to accompany him! So after all, he still doesn't want him to stay here with grandpa!"
Merlin laughed dumbly, raised his eyebrows and said, "What a willful little girl. "
"Hmm!"
The girl crossed her waist proudly and raised her pretty face and said, "Wonderful Qiu Ke!"
“No one can criticize a person because she loves herself too much.”
Merlin was not angry, but instead cast an approving look at the girl: "It is not easy to be loyal to one's own desires, but it is also an admirable thing."
Wen Qiu blinked. , tilted his head and asked curiously: "Grandpa, are you praising Qiu?"
"From an objective point of view, you can indeed make the difference just now Those words were interpreted as a compliment."
Merlin nodded slightly and said softly: "Well, since you are not a reasonable child, let's talk about the conditions."
Ask. Qiu quickly hid behind Gaheres, sticking out half of his head to look at Merlin warily: "What are the conditions?"
"You come and make the conditions."
Merlin smiled and said concisely: "I will promise you."
Wen Qiu pouted his mouth and thought for a moment, then asked: " Will you agree to any conditions?" "Of course not, first of all. It’s from [The Realm of Innocence], and secondly it has to be something I have the ability to do.”
Merlin waved his hand without hesitation, and then added: “But I am. I think the scope is quite broad.”
"Then... what if you want delicious snacks from Qiu?"
"If they exist in reality, I can reproduce most snacks, candies or drinks for you one to one in my spare time. As for the local products of this world, I know a man who is very scheming There are countless channels for women to collect any mainstream or non-mainstream snacks for you."
"What if you want to go to a fun place?"
"The southwest continent is rich in resources, but powerful. But there is a clear distinction between them and the forces, such as If you wander aimlessly like you, you won't be able to come and go to many interesting places except for the no-home zone like the Nismont Lake area. But if you are willing to stay, I will let someone on the continent are regarded as knowledgeable and talented, and most of them Fang Du, a mage who can come and go freely and is very proficient in various attribute genres including space magic, will take you around. Of course, he can only do it when he has free time."
"If you ask Qiu Xiang. Want nice clothes? ”
"Have you seen this white coat of mine? It was made by a woman with excellent professional skills. The client... that is, I did not make any request, and made this set of two-piece suit in a short time. Wear clothes that are comfortable, beautiful, fit, durable and many other features, and according to me As far as I know, sewing women's clothing is her strength. I am willing to use my reputation to guarantee that she will not mind serving a cute little girl like you."
"If Wenqiu wants to do it. What about the bad things?”
“The part just now was not comical. During the long journey, you have seen at least four figures of corpses or materials that were once corpses, and the vast majority of them are 'innocents' in a broad sense. This kind of thing will happen many, many times in the future. "
"What if Wenqiu wants to stay with Brother Lei? ?”
“Gaheres will become my personal assistant, and I can make an exception to allow you to enter my workshop and agree to him accompanying you during working hours, provided that the research progress is not delayed, so You should discuss this matter with him.”
"If you ask Qiu what you want to buy?"
"Then tell anyone who is qualified to talk to you on an equal footing. Unless you deliberately make things difficult, your wishes will usually be fulfilled."
" How can I trust you?"
"Stay and try. If you don't like it, take Gaheres away at any time."
"Well..."
"Do you have any more questions?"
"Do I need to help you with anything? That tall uncle has been trying to get close to you just because he wants to use Wenqiu's help, right?"
"Uncle Ah..."
Arthur's face froze, and he lowered his head in frustration.
“If you want to help, there are many things you can do. If you don’t want to help, you don’t have to do anything.”
Merlin answered calmly and said calmly: "Compared to Gaheres, you are just an extra. Even if you do nothing every day, the fact that he can stay with peace of mind is already extremely valuable. "
Wen Qiu immediately opened his eyes, raised his little face and stared at Gahres with a stern expression and whispered: "Brother Lei, you are the best. That’s awesome! That old man said you are better than Wenqiu!”
“If it’s about making cows and horses...”
Gaheres shrugged. I made a rare joke: "It is true that I am more professional."
"Then I will stay~"
Wenqiu clapped her hands with a smile and said happily: "As long as grandpa keeps his word!"
"The instructor will not lie to you."
Although we have not known each other for a long time, I think I Gahres, who knew Academician Mu Changchun, lowered his head and smiled at the girl. Then he took a deep breath, stood up straight and asked Merlin seriously: "Is it really possible?"
"We need a step-by-step approach. The process, my child, for you, and more importantly for myself, it stands to reason that you should start from the most superficial work, and after going through various assessments, become my real assistant in this world, but... "
Merlin lowered his eyes, and while stroking his cane, he said calmly: "My time is precious, especially at this stage. Unless I don't intend to let you play any role at all, there is no one at all. Suitable for 'finding out' projects. ”
He knew very well how important this opportunity that was coming to him was. From the bottom of his heart, Gahres wanted to seize this great wealth and said without hesitation: "You can trust me."
"Perhaps, after all, you were able to take that girl with you, whose methods have nothing to do with 'humanity', without knowing her true nature, and never sincerely tried to lead her back to the right path."
Merlin He said this in an understatement, and after Gaheres' face instantly lost all color, he continued: "And your 'reaction' along the way just now really surprised me. In fact, If you hadn't been too understated, I wouldn't have provided you with a second option besides taking this child away."
Gaheres nodded silently and wisely did not answer. , because he knew very well that Merlin hadn't finished speaking yet, and the key point was probably in the next few sentences!
As expected——
"Okay, now I'm going to offer you a compromise plan. If you can accept it, skip the 'assessment period' and join me directly in the project. If you can't accept it, it doesn't matter. The long assessment period and the The child left here and chose one of the two."
The disc under Merlin's feet slowly lifted off the ground, and until he was eye level with Gaheres, the old man continued slowly: "Later today, I will give you a paper, and the content in it will undoubtedly make you an upstart in the field of biomedicine and annihilate everyone after a while, but in any case, it will 100% enable you to graduate from school smoothly.”
Gaheres was immediately stunned and said in astonishment: "Teacher, this...isn't this bad..."
"Of course, but the worse is yet to come."
Merlin looked at Gahres calmly and continued: "To put it simply, this paper is 'poisonous'. To be clear, after you publish it, I can publish it at any time and at any time. Report you for plagiarism and fabrication, and nail you to the pillar of shame with conclusive evidence. After that, you will be expelled from the school for academic misconduct, and you will be expelled from school because of this negative image that is enough to be regarded as a model. Unable to find a serious school, I ended up living a life of relative failure.”
Gahres' body was shocked: "Study...academic misconduct?!"
"Yes, but only I can see that, and only I can report you for plagiarism and fraud as the original author. The highest level of 'academic misconduct'."
"This..."
"This means that from the moment the paper is published, as long as I want, I can use my words to ruin your reputation at any time and say goodbye to academia."
"..."
"So, what is your answer?"
"I do."
