Inside the office.
Professor Dale took a sip of espresso without sugar. The bitterness stimulated his taste buds, allowing him to maintain enough energy at all times.
The hand on the wall clock pointed to eleven o'clock, which was lunch time. The little mouse was hungry, but she still lay quietly in Lu Li's hair, letting herself continue to be immersed in sleepiness.
There's no way around it. Geography classes involving celestial objects and celestial magic are just like this, with serious consequences.
"Do you think I'm too strict?"
"Indeed, a bit." Lu Li nodded.
Due to his status and the fact that the professor was too upright and would not play tricks, he said bluntly: "As far as I know, among all the tutors in charge of the graduating class in this school, there are not those who are as strict as you. Many students are stuck in the selection process." At this level of the subject, I seem extremely confused.”
If these words were heard by other parties involved, Lu Li would definitely be regarded as a hero.
Of course, Professor Dell's seemingly reflective attitude made them even more excited.
"All right."
"Do you have any good suggestions? My original intention is to let students learn more before graduation so as to avoid any disasters in the future."
From the perspective of an outsider, judging from the strength, UM... seems to be able to graduate easily.
At least Lu Li was confident that it would take him a few months to complete the biggest obstacle, the thesis, even if his tutor was Professor Dell, who was known for being demanding.
"Why not start a big project? Everyone acts together. In the process, everyone can find suitable topics on their own."
There is no doubt that this professor has extremely strict requirements for students in the academic field, rejecting those topics that are flashy and have little practical significance, but can be easily passed.
In this way, it is up to him to choose, and everyone can find a branch that suits them or is favorite in a big project.
And doing so has additional advantages:
Professor Dell no longer has to be distracted and provides detailed guidance to prospective graduates as an elder, a knowledgeable person, and an experienced person.
And Lu Li also had his own selfish motives.
It is undeniable that these three months have been very fulfilling, but too much peace will make people feel bored.
“Very constructive suggestions!”
Professor Dell's eyes lit up: "It just so happens that I have a project here. Even if the various topics are equally divided between them, there are still enough areas worth exploring..."
"If I ask, can you tell me what it is?" Lu Li was curious.
After all, it’s hard not to think negatively about the professor’s excitement:
A mad scholar explores forbidden lands.
Great story!
"In the far north, there is a very hidden valley. All kinds of rumors spread here through the mouths of local residents and businessmen..."
"The various geological phenomena in that area and related soil samples are extremely mysterious."
Amidst the unhurried narration, the little mouse, who was lying down and pretending to be dead, was completely awake and interrupted:
"I remember you said three months ago that there are likely to be those ancient materials in the ancient extreme cold seas."
"That's right."
William Dale smiled.
Although it is not clear why this little guy is so obsessed with ancient creatures, he did not deceive the other party and added:
…
"On the way to explore that mountain range, you are very likely to encounter these existences, and they can also be treated as subjects."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly."
The little mouse stepped on Lu Li's head, held his head high, and wanted to kill him immediately.
"This will have to wait for the closed-door meeting the day after tomorrow. After all, traveling long distances means all kinds of unknowns."
The professor spread his hands and added: "Even if I think it is a good place to explore the truth, I have to listen to everyone's opinions."
The little mouse can fully represent Lu Li.
However, Lu Li didn't want this guy to follow him. Although he tried to deny it, he still admitted in his heart that he would indeed trigger a series of dangers, similar to the kind of hidden plot.
It doesn't matter if you die yourself. You can be resurrected later, but others can't.
Because of this, Lu Li, who left the professor's office and was walking on the way to eat, suddenly raised his hand, pinched the back of the little mouse Destiny's neck, and said seriously:
“When I get back, write down the required materials and add illustrations along the way.”
"I will get it back for you. In the meantime, go and stay at Miss Mia's place."
For reasons and reasons, there is no need for the little guy to go there in person. After all, its size is there, and its essence has also changed. It is okay to bully ordinary people, but at most it can defeat a dozen low-sequence extraordinary beings...
Rather than being distracted by the past, it would be better for Lu Li to do the work for him since he had no problem to conquer anyway.
"……"little mouse.
According to normal logic, Lu Li's arrangement was absolutely fine, but she was a little embarrassed because she was useless except for being cute and coquettish.
By the way, he also made a guest appearance in Yishu, accompanying everyone to go crazy.
Three days later.
"Well, the portraits are all here."
"Are you sure you didn't miss anything?"
"Of course, I've thought about it several times in my head, and there's absolutely no lack of material."
Hearing this, Lu Li put away hundreds of pages of scrolls.
In fact, these things were all painted by his own hands and had already been kept in mind.
"Have a nice trip and come back soon."
The shiny gray-haired mouse jumped onto Miss Mia's shoulder with tears in its eyes.
"..."
"I haven't left yet. I've been in Arkham Town for the past two days and need to prepare relevant supplies."
After speaking, Lu Li rubbed the fine hair that had grown back on the little guy's head.
The results of yesterday’s closed-door meeting showed:
A total of seven students are willing to join the exploration team for a three-month graduation inspection.
The remaining dozen people chose to be self-reliant. Anyway, there was still more than one semester before the deadline, so there was no need to be too anxious.
In this way, the exploration team is about to set sail.
Professor William Dale served as the team leader, Lu Li served as the deputy team leader, and provided a steam transportation boat that could withstand wind and waves.
Among the seven classmates, four are humans, and the other three are flowing with the blood of the Xagai Zerg Tribe, the Star Familiar Tribe, and the Void Ghost.
Lu Li had dealt with the latter before, that is, in the world of Fogdu, but the one he encountered before had no intelligence.
Canned food, fresh water, high-quality coal, and multiple nautical charts from different ocean-going caravans.
This is what the deputy team leader will do in the next two days.
After all, Lu Li became a captain again. After all, he had a very successful sailing experience.
"A copy of Arkham News."
After returning from the dock, checking the condition of the ship and completing relevant supplies, Lu Li bought a newspaper and started reading it on the old train, enjoying the final tranquility.
