New Gods of North America.

Chapter 289 Daily life
After finishing the discussion here, Wayne looked at the time and saw that it was almost time, so he prepared to return to the academy.

Before leaving, Wayne thought for a moment and said, "It seems like you guys have to go to the academy every day recently, so can you ask someone to bring me some food?"

To be honest, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Although the food in the college restaurant is not bad, it is obviously not as good as Chef Parker's, the amount of meat is not enough, and if you only count the cost of ingredients, it might be relatively more affordable.

"Yes, yes..."

Lina thought for a moment, "I wanted to bring some for myself before, but it's so troublesome to bring food, with trays, knives, forks and plates. Especially your pizza. I see Parker spends a long time just making the cheese. In order to make it delicious, after the milk is condensed, it has to be kneaded repeatedly like dough. It takes too much time."

"It doesn't have to be pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers, etc. will do. In fact, there's no need to go through the trouble of packing pizza like last time. Just use a few flat boxes or cardboard boxes, put some paper under them and you can eat it. It's a convenience food after all."

“What are hot dogs and hamburgers?”

As Inissa asked, she seemed to start trying to associate things right there.

This thing isn't available yet?
Maybe it already exists, but not by this name?
Wayne explained a little more:
"A hot dog is a piece of soft bread about this length that is cut into two pieces, with vegetable leaves and sausages in the middle, and then topped with sauce.

"Hamburgers are similar to this, with round buns cut into pieces, vegetables, fried or grilled patties, cheese slices, and sauce in the middle, and they are also eaten by picking them up. Both of these are very convenient foods that do not require the use of cutlery."

"Why is it called such a name?" Inissa continued to ask.

Wayne didn't really care about this. "I'm not sure about hot dogs, but that's what they call it. Maybe it's western slang. As for hamburgers... this way of eating is said to have come from the Hans Federation. It seems to be the name of one of their places."

"I've met many German people, but I've never heard of such a way of eating in the Hans Federation?" Now even Lina asked.

hiss……

I almost forgot there is a senior foreigner from the Old World here.

Wayne chose to end the topic as quickly as possible, "Maybe it was named by a Hans immigrant to commemorate his hometown. It doesn't really matter what it's called, as long as it tastes good."

"That doesn't sound like a hassle, and you don't need to bring cutlery... So are there any requirements for cheese, meat, or sauce?"

Lina first wanted to take out a small notebook to make notes, but then seemed to find it troublesome and quickly gave up, "Forget it, just talk to Parker yourself."

Wayne's spiritual intuition seemed to sense something strange.
Then Parker quickly wiped his hands and walked over to Lina from the kitchen, "Ms. Lina."

Lina pointed at Wayne and said, "He asked you to make western food again."

Parker was very strict about this. He wanted Wayne to clearly explain the types and amounts of sausages, vegetables, cheese and sauces. He even wanted to ask what kind of meat to use in the meat patties, how to cut it into small pieces, and what seasonings to put in it.

Wayne is still very convinced of Chef Parker's cooking skills.

Fast food is just something that is done casually, and the meat patties and sausages are probably just for the sake of being easy to bite, so after roughly describing the appearance, leave the rest to the chef.

……

When Wayne returned to the dormitory, it was not yet time to "lock the door" and he happened to meet the headmaster who came to check the dormitory with a list of names.

At this moment, I am still talking to the "building manager" McCann Reeve in the public lounge area on the first floor.

There are many students in the college who work and study or study hard. Even if they come back on time every day, it is probably not a rare thing. However, the class leader came to warn Wayne, "Someone reported that you may not comply with the college's accommodation system. I have confirmed with McKenzie that no such situation has occurred so far. But I hope you can take it seriously."

"Who?" Wayne asked.

The prefect shook his head. "This is not something you should be concerned about. What you should make sure is that you can abide by the rules of the college. And I was not the one who received the report directly. I heard it from the professor."

After the prefect finished speaking, he patted Wayne's arm:

"You've been very popular in the academy recently, and there may be a lot of people paying attention to you. Although this kind of thing is unlikely to affect your graduation, if you are punished by the academy, it will have some impact on your personal reputation. You should still pay attention to it."

Wayne thought about it for a moment and felt that he might have been a little too sensitive.
If it was Reverend Pycelle or some hidden organization, or some strange enemy, they probably wouldn't resort to such a harmless trick. It would be more convenient to secretly find an opportunity to shoot.
Secretly reporting and engaging in bullying, in a sense, are part of Wayne's stereotypical American campus life in horror movies.

So Wayne's attitude suddenly became much brighter, "Don't worry, I will be careful."

At noon the next day, just after class, Wayne was called into Professor Amber Maisel's office by a student.

Then he seemed to know why he was reported.

Professor Albert Meisel had helped Wayne make a standard argument for the two counterexamples he had proposed in his homework to prove that "functions are not necessarily differentiable" and gave them to Wayne for confirmation.

Wayne was also asked to sign a standard academic integrity statement.

Professor Maisel seems to be in a good mood:
"Wayne, although it's still a little early, I have planned to nominate you as an academically outstanding student for this school year. If the nomination is eventually approved by the college's board of directors, you will be able to receive a scholarship, which should be helpful to your studies."

Wayne thought about it and said, "Logically speaking, this should be confirmed near the end of this school year?"

"of course."

Professor Maisel nodded. "But based on your current discovery alone, I think you are already qualified enough to participate in the competition. It may be difficult to be evaluated for a great academic honor, but it should not be a problem to obtain a scholarship from the college.

"Academic scholarships are usually only available to senior students. Getting one in the first year is a pretty good resume for young scholars."

Wayne confirmed, "If there is any violation of the college's management system, will it make you lose the qualification for the scholarship?"

"Well... this is indeed something you should pay attention to. If you receive a written warning or above, you will not be able to receive any college honors this school year. But you won't violate it, right?"

"Indeed not. May I ask how much the academic scholarship of the college is generally?"

"It fluctuates slightly every year, and the college usually ensures that students who receive the scholarship do not have to worry about tuition fees for the next academic year. Although the cost of textbooks and daily life still needs to be borne by oneself, for many students, it is also very worthwhile to strive for."

That’s just over 200 US dollars.

Wayne thanked Professor Maisel and then respectfully left.

Halfway through the walk, Wayne suddenly remembered that he should have taken advantage of the professor's good mood to ask one more question.

For example, if a student does not intend to receive a scholarship, then he or she should not be expelled if he or she has only violated some minor disciplines multiple times, right?
