"Hey, isn't this our busy lady, Miss Donna? Why do you have time to come here to drink?"
After Donna left the laboratory, she rushed to the Hanmer Tavern, which is specially opened for scholars. As soon as she entered the door and verified her identity with her membership card, she heard a familiar voice coming from not far away.
"Um?"
Kroc, who had just appeared in her conversation with Crow not long ago, was holding a wine glass with a frivolous expression.
"We are here to celebrate, you... too?"
Donna pushed him away and walked straight to the counter to chat with the woman in a long skirt who was mixing drinks.
Kroc spread his hands to his companions to express that he had not gotten any results, then reluctantly came to Donna's side and put his elbow on her shoulder.
"Don't be so stingy. I won't laugh at you. Research always requires patience. We all know this... What? You asked our magic pet? Ah, that was just an accident, a lucky accident..."
Donna, who didn't ask anything at all, looked at Kroc's elbow and his sleeve that was still stained with two drops of wine, and twitched the corners of her lips.
"I also think it was an accident."
She held her chin with one hand and looked at Kroc.
"But I still have to congratulate you. You have studied so seriously. You will surely be able to obtain the status of a registered breeder soon, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Kroc's face instantly turned ugly.
Donna, who successfully hit the red heart, covered her mouth in a pretentious manner, and said in a strange tone: "Oh, no, right? There is no one who really wants to be a rat in the gutter for the rest of his life, right?"
Crocodile smiled and said, "Then I won't worry about it."
Donna picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and replied with a smile: "What a coincidence, I have the same attitude about our group's research."
After being ridiculed, Kroc returned to his companions with a sullen expression. The joy of making breakthroughs in breeding familiars instantly faded away.
Not long after, the group of them left the tavern together.
The busy woman in front of the wine table raised her head, glanced at the backs of several people hurried away, and chuckled softly.
"Klock has a very strong self-esteem. If you prick him like this, I probably won't be able to sleep tonight."
Donna snorted coldly and said to Natalya, who seemed to be complaining: "People with strong self-esteem will not choose to do this kind of subject."
Natalya paused and looked up at her.
The pale silver eyes seem to have a magical power that can penetrate people's hearts.
Staring directly at these silver-white eyes, Donna quickly became unable to resist.
She hammered the cup in her hand on the table, looked at the splashing wine and said, "Ah, yes, I admit it, I am just avenging my personal revenge!"
"is it not OK?"
"They showed no mercy when they killed off the new profession I created."
Natalia sighed, "In fact, they didn't stop you from continuing to develop your new career..."
Yes, they just criticized it from head to toe, from the hair to the soles of the feet.
Donna slumped down, put her head on her arms, and said wistfully: "How can I persevere after being denied to that extent? Don't I want to lose face?"
Natalia was noncommittal.
"Those bastards, don't always glorify 'cruelty' into 'gentleness'..."
"What is this gentleness..."
"you're drunk."
Natalia said in a statement tone.
"I don't!"
Donna turned the wine glass over and looked at the last drop of wine dripping on the table with a disdainful tone.
"It's just one drink. If you can get drunk, why come to a pub..."
As she spoke, she slowly closed her eyes and her breath gradually became longer.
Natalia, who had just cleaned a cup, sighed when she saw this. After wiping her hands with a handkerchief hanging on the side, she stretched out her finger and touched Donna's forehead.
"go home."
"Have a sweet dream."
…
The next morning, when Donna woke up, she was already at home.
The memory was completely fragmented in the tavern, and how she came back later, Donna had no memory at all.
But it was obviously not the first time she had experienced this. After checking the time and making sure she was not late, she changed her clothes and hurried towards the laboratory.
When she arrived at her destination, it was just time for work. Donna arranged her hair and walked into the room.
When she passed the main laboratory, she noticed with sharp eyes that among the total number of topics hanging on the wall, the smelly and long topic that Crow was in charge of was as long and smelly as the old lady's foot wrap had been crossed out.
The approver is none other than Crow himself.
It seemed like he finally came to his senses and decided to drop that stupid subject.
Smart choice.
With this thought in her mind, Donna turned her head again and glanced at the records on the research results side with a very disdainful look, as if giving charity.
As expected, the information about "B-class Demonic Pet Sound Bird" has been logged on it.
She cleared her throat and made sure there was no one around, then quickly moved closer to check the detailed information of this B-level familiar.
[Demon Pet Name: Sound Bird]
[Gender: Male] (Judge based on feather color)
[Race level: B] (Evaluation basis: information submitted by the breeder)
[Individual Qualification: B] (During the current testing, no abnormality has been found)
[Introduction to Demon Pet: A kind of Demon Pet that uses sound as a weapon. It has extraordinary extraordinary qualifications and has high cultivation value. 】(Other features have yet to be discovered)
Gu Ao [Skills: sonic attack, loud roar] (the rest are to be discovered)
…
A lot of uncertain information made Donna roll her eyes, and her heart instantly felt much more balanced.
She looked away, as if she had done nothing, and walked towards the depths.
Although she had speculated like this yesterday, after seeing the results, Donna confirmed her guess even more.
That guy Kroc was just lucky enough to be able to breed a B-level magic pet, but his own level has not developed to that level.
After opening her room with her ID card, Donna sighed inwardly while taking a book and pouring water.
No wonder he was so happy, and even invited guests to the pub for a drink. This kind of thing, like winning a lottery, was not something that had to be celebrated once.
After belittling Kroc in her heart, Donna opened the experimental records of herself and the crow, and drew a terminator after the last experiment conducted yesterday.
"Tsk."
Throwing a thick notebook on the table, Donna fell back on the sofa as if she had no bones.
The soft special sofa sunk down to reveal the traces of a person. Donna enjoyed the comfortable experience of being buried in the clouds, but her expression gradually became serious.
Regardless of luck or strength, the fact is that Kroc's current progress is far ahead of her and Crow.
Although Donna despises Kroc, she does not despise him.
After all, that guy is a serious researcher and scholar. Even if the birth of the B-level familiar was an accident, with this accident, his understanding of the "field" should be enough to advance a lot.
As for the significance of the "field" theory in breeding familiars, R'lyeh City has conducted corresponding verification through many experiments.
Donna's authority is not enough for her to obtain all the relevant information, but one thing is clear, that is, the "field" theory is indeed a very important theory and has extremely high application value.
It even has the potential to become one of the core theories of R'lyeh City.
This quasi-core theory is indispensable for Kroc's efficiency improvement.
Looking at the fallen star hair demon sneaking out of her hair and starting to swing on the table, Donna stretched out her finger and poked its face, suddenly becoming a little curious about Dean who was thousands of miles away. .
What kind of structure does a person's brain have to have to create such a magical life?
Just like a monster.
If I have the chance, I really want to ask him for advice.
But after a brief moment of curiosity, Donna calmed down again.
Unfortunately, due to the rules, she could not disclose these research results. Even if they met, she could not communicate with Dean on related topics.
...Not entirely happy.
Her interest instantly faded a lot.
There is no way, who made these experiments, all based on the specific information submitted by the professionals, and conducted in-depth research. If spread, it will have some negative impact on the reputation of Raleye City, which will make the profession willing to The number of new professionals sharing the information has decreased, so in order to avoid this happening, the experiment can only be conducted secretly.
Many achievements will never be made public even in a lifetime.
It can only be stored in the database of R'lyeh City.
Part of Donna's aversion to this kind of work stems from this.
However, this does not mean that they are just working in vain. In the words of the teacher, every research result here will be recorded in the confidential information of Raleye City, which will serve as the foundation of future human culture and support it. This huge tree continues to grow prosperously.
Their efforts are valuable and meaningful.
It's just that these values take a long time to slowly manifest.
After reviewing the chicken soup given by the teacher again, Donna avoided the falling star-haired monster's opening of its mouth and tried to bite it, and pushed its little head.
Seeing the angry eyes of her demon pet, which was igniting a small flame, Donna chuckled in a good mood and suddenly felt much more relaxed.
She lay back on the sofa, looked at the ceiling, and closed her eyes.
Of course, this is also a screening mechanism.
If the new professionals from the outside world will be overtaken by Raleye City, it can only mean that he is nothing more than that.
What kind of person should be a "hero" who can lead the trend of the times and subvert the era?
No one can give a definite answer, but here in R'lyeh City, one thing is very clear.
That is, he must not be easily surpassed.
Only insurmountable mountains can make people awe-inspiring. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, the low slopes have no meaning of existence.
Therefore, if Dean's progress is inferior to R'lyeh City's research on familiars, then R'lyeh City's internal evaluation of him will be lowered accordingly.
And it is difficult to improve further.
Donna sometimes feels that these rules are like shit. They stand on the shoulders of giants and achieve results, but they still have to step on the giants beneath them and look at him with critical eyes.
He didn't care at all that without the giant, there would be no possibility of him standing this high.
As an experimental subject who had been criticized and criticized in the past, Donna really didn't like this mechanism.
But the trend of this era determines that the existence of "competition" and "elimination" is necessary.
No one can change it.
She is a small researcher and a scholar with little reputation, which is even more impossible.
But secretly, Donna still hopes to have a few more powerful new professionals and give these guys a few slaps.
But unfortunately, so far, there are still relatively few new professionals who can do this.
Most people, in terms of promoting the development and progress of new professionals, are not as fast as R'lyeh City, which has a lot of resources.
I don’t know if Dean can become one of the small groups.
Donna was rather optimistic about him.
Everything will be revealed when the subject is certified.
