This place is the embodiment of Victoria's face. When it was first built, the royal family specially allocated funds for the preparation of the items, in an effort to showcase the empire's traditional elegant taste.
Olicia is an Ursus noble. According to the unwritten rules of Victoria, when receiving foreign nobles, one must bring out the best to show off. Therefore, Marquis Evan chose this place as the reception venue without even thinking about it.
He had no idea that the girl sent by his old friend would have such a strange compassionate feeling like most Yan people, and Caroline asked him to help secretly in the letter to create a feeling for Olicia that everything was done by "I rely on myself". Therefore, Sir Evan could not directly explain his identity, and a tragic result occurred. He saw an Olicia who was very cold to him.
In Bai Lang's eyes, the 'corrupt' old principal was speaking 'hypocritical' polite words with a cheerful face. She could only listen patiently, but her attention had long been drawn to the serious-looking old man next to her. The old man from Liberi was dressed in low-key clothes, with peeling grey glasses on his face, and he lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Sir Evan felt a little hurt. It was really sad that an elegant old gentleman like him was not as attractive to the little girl as the old man next to him.
Although he was sad, seeing the other party like this, he shortened his witty greeting, then woke up his old friend who was immersed in a theorem, and introduced him to White Wolf.
Even when introducing others, Sir Evan continued with his own unique style:
"The man next to me is the dean of the National University's Originium College, an expert researcher at the National University's affiliated Originium Research Institute, a lifetime honorary professor at the National University, and a recipient of the Victoria Medal of Honor. He is also one of the founders of Columbia University's Originium Department and a senior visiting scholar at Leitania William University..."
"Stop talking too much!" said old man Liberi in a deep voice.
"Ahem." Sir Evan coughed in mock embarrassment, "He is Professor Herzog."
Bai Lang had a good impression of this serious old man. The title mentioned by the principal confused her. She only cared about one thing: "Are you Aina's mentor?"
"No," Sir Evan answered, "Professor Herzog stopped taking students after returning from Columbia."
The bespectacled old man Liberi glanced at Sir Evan and said slowly, "Unless you find me a good seedling like Aina."
Aina? White Wolf keenly caught this name. Why did he single out Aina? It's not Ceylon, nor is it Skyfire. This...
Sir Evan continued, "Look, you are wrong. Geniuses like that are only one in a million. In Yan country, you are 'throwing the baby out with the bathwater'. Alas, I shouldn't have let you go to Columbia University in the first place. Your student, yes, let's call him Hemer, has spoiled your taste."
Professor Herzog was too lazy to speak.
Bai Lang was still thinking about Aina, when he suddenly heard Hemer's name. He was confused. Wasn't this her attending physician? Professor Herzog's student?
Hiss, the scientific research circle is too small.
She couldn't help but ask, "Is it Olivia Hemmer, Hemmer from Rhode Island?"
"Do you know her?" Professor Herzog looked at White Wolf in surprise.
White Wolf nodded: "Yes, she is an excellent doctor and is currently conducting medical research in Rhode Island."
"Of course. Rhodes Island's new inhibitor is definitely due to her contribution." Herzog said with some pride. Soon, his expression became lonely again. "I wanted her to come to Victoria with me to do research, but she ended up going to Rhine Life Science. Later, she wrote to me saying that she wanted to move to another place. I was planning to invite her over, but before I sent the letter, I heard that she went to Rhodes Island."
"There's nothing we can do about it. Everyone has their own choices. Dr. Hemer has always been interested in the study of oripathy, so he went to Rhodes Island." The guilty White Wolf carefully comforted.
Volume 4: Chapter 149 Honorary Alumni
Looking at the two people chatting happily on the side, Sir Evan felt very uncomfortable. He endured it for a long time and finally reminded them sourly:
"Old man, don't forget your business. Miss Olicia is very busy."
I'm not busy. I'm the most idle. Does the principal suspect that he is being treated coldly? The evil-minded Miss White Wolf thought happily.
"What's the matter?" Professor Herzog showed a genuinely puzzled expression.
"Incident investigation! Isn't it said that we need to understand the situation in the assessment area?" Evan said anxiously.
"Oh, I remember now, that's exactly what happened."
Herzog responded absentmindedly, but since he had already agreed, he certainly couldn't stand up his old friend. He adjusted his sitting position on the sofa and looked at White Wolf again:
"Ms. Olicia, it's not a very important matter. We want to check if there is anything we missed, so we need you to help repeat the situation in the disaster area."
"No problem." White Wolf agreed straightforwardly.
"Tea or coffee?" the principal asked the two in a low voice.
"Thank you, tea." Bai Lang said somewhat flattered. Although she seriously doubted this man's moral standards, he was the president of a national university after all. Being able to personally serve tea to her was a sign of sincerity no matter what.
"Boiled water." Professor Herzog said indifferently.
Sir Evan, who received the order, ran over to fiddle with the small purple clay teapot on the table, leaving White Wolf and Herzog to continue communicating the situation.
Since Bailang and Aina had colluded with each other in their testimony beforehand, what she said was still the same old trick for dealing with the Guard Academy. She did not reveal the news of her meeting with Professor Farm. The only difference was Aina's performance. This time she spent more time to secretly give extra points to the other party's behavior, such as how the other party cleverly saved himself in a crisis, and how he helped her deal with the infected body.
"Aina is really good. She is a student of my colleague." Professor Herzog smiled rarely. "I sometimes attend lectures on open source stone theory at the college, and I always see her coming. Last year, she even had an argument with me on behalf of her mentor at the lecture."
Sir Evan came over with two cups of tea. When he heard what Herzog said, he suppressed his laughter and added, "Professor Yugar has been happy about this for half a year. He 'accidentally' mentioned Aina and the lecture to everyone he met, criticizing the younger generation for being impolite. His expression was full of sighs and groans."
Herzog curled his lips and said, "That guy is petty. If anyone dares to say that his students are impolite, he will definitely remember it. But he is really good at leading students. No other teacher in Originium Academy can compare to him in this aspect, and I am far behind him."
Evan nodded with emotion and said, "Indeed, Senior, Sharp, Tianhuo, Aina, and Ceylan are all excellent research talents."
After saying that, he secretly glanced at Bailang who was drinking tea silently. He knew clearly that the names of Aina and Ceylon were written on the recruitment report of Bingshi Mining. How did this little girl do it?
Bai Lang, who was listening in, also felt a sense of unreality, and her mentality changed as well.
The utilization of low-purity Originium ore is an important issue, but what if it is accomplished? Or what if it is finally found to be impossible?
She absolutely cannot trap real research talents in remote corners like the North. She needs to follow the example of Rhodes Island and Kal'tsit and find other key cities to establish research institutes at some point in the future. Which place is suitable?
Koros City? Chernobyl? Dragon Gate?
……
"Miss Olicia, Miss Olicia?"
Bai Lang suddenly heard the principal's voice and woke up from his thoughts. He apologized embarrassedly:
"Oh, sorry, I was a little distracted just now."
She saw Professor Herzog looking at her with extremely shocked eyes, and she felt panicky because she had no idea what was going on.
Sir Evan noticed this and quickly explained, "I just told Herzog about Aina and Ceylon. I'm sorry, but I'm the principal, so I know a lot. I've also read the recruitment documents submitted by Icestone Mining."
Bai Lang understood the reason and felt guilty for no reason. His face turned slightly red as he said, "I, I will do my best to provide them with the best research environment. I will never, ever bury their talents."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not worried about that." Herzog shook his head hurriedly. He was still immersed in great emotion and didn't know how to explain it for a while.
Firefighter Sir Evan helped his old friend out. He smiled and said, "What Professor Herzog meant is that we are all acquaintances and we should keep in touch with each other in the future."
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean." Professor Herzog responded quickly.
Sir Evan continued, "We have one more thing we need to consult your opinion on."
White Wolf nodded: "You go ahead."
"Well, it's like this." Sir Evan clasped his hands together and said slowly, "Like you, our student Aina also provided information about the illegal research institute in the assessment area. She repeatedly mentioned that you still tried your best to reduce the loss of instruments and equipment under difficult conditions. You may not know that each of those research equipment is extremely expensive."
"Now the Royal Guard has taken over the illegal research institute, and the verdict has come out. All the equipment in the institute will be donated to the National University unconditionally as compensation for the poor supervision of the guard."
"Ms. Olivia, I have thought about it over and over again. Whether it is because of those expensive instruments or because you saved our students, the National University should express its most sincere gratitude. You should also know my idea, which is to award the title of honorary alumni to those who have made significant contributions in accordance with school regulations. I hope you can accept it."
Seeing that White Wolf was still hesitating, Professor Herzog unexpectedly helped out: "It's better to accept it. You have this reputation, and you can be considered a member of the National University. Old Yu is the mentor of Aina and Ceylon. Yugal will also feel at ease to let them go to you."
At this time, Bai Lang was already tempted and was about to agree directly, but the principal seemed to be afraid that she would refuse, so he added another bargaining chip:
"The National University can only award one honorary alumnus per year. Before you, no one has received this title for five consecutive years. With this title, you are equivalent to a member of the college. It will be very convenient if you want to recruit people in the future."
"Can I enter the library?" White Wolf asked suddenly on a whim.
"Of course." Sir Evan replied subconsciously.
"I agree." White Wolf nodded, "I'm very happy to be a part of the National University."
Volume 4: Chapter 150 Keep a Low Profile
Bai Lang agreed quickly, but regretted it just as quickly. It wasn't that she had any intention of going back on her word, but the next thing the principal proposed gave her a headache.
As this year's honorary alumnus, she needs to attend the graduation ceremony in two weeks. If she just showed up, it would be fine, and she could hide in the crowd, but the actual situation was completely beyond her expectations.
According to the principal, she needed to stand on the stage and make a brief personal speech, and then become a tool called a 'guest' to present awards to outstanding graduates. She was terrified when she thought that tens of thousands of people in the entire school might be paying attention to her.
The principal misunderstood her idea at first and comforted her by saying that although the awarding of honorary alumni titles requires a public announcement process, her contributions are obvious and undoubted, and she does not need to worry about others finding fault with her.
Professor Herzog guessed what she was thinking. He said that Miss Olivia had the same advantages as himself. Both were low-key people who were not used to appearing in public. He asked the principal to save as much time as possible.
White Wolf looked at Professor Herzog with gratitude and agreed, saying that the other party was right.
Sir Evan also had his own difficulties. In order to save Olivia from possible trouble, he had to let her show up. But since she had already said so, he couldn't force her. He cancelled the originally planned honorary alumni speeches and award ceremonies, and only asked her to stand up from her seat and nod when her name was read.
Even so, Bai Lang still felt awkward, but since the principal had made such a big concession, she nodded in agreement and then discussed some details.
Her first idea was to arrange her seat in the corner, but was rejected. The principal said that the seating order was fixed and there was no need to worry too much. The most prominent seats were reserved for the deans of each department, and the seats for honorary alumni were next to outstanding graduates. She could sit with Ceylon.
Bai Lang has learned that there are two outstanding graduates from Originium Academy this year, one is Miss Ceylon and the other is a male student with an unfamiliar name. As for Aina, the guy who skips classes every day, she definitely has nothing to do with the outstanding graduate.
Her second request was readily agreed to, and the president promised to keep her identity details confidential. In fact, the National University is a top international institution, and people don't pay attention to the various background issues. Bai Lang was just afraid of trouble.
After discussing various things, it was already noon. Bai Lang declined the invitation to have lunch with the principal and others and returned to the hotel alone to rest.
In the afternoon, she returned to the National University and applied for the honorary alumni certificate under the guidance of the staff. After completing the procedures, she received an honorary alumni ID card of the National University.
She had seen Aina’s student card before. The main color was blue, while hers was purple. Apart from the color, there was no difference between the two cards. Even the functions were basically the same. After recharging, the card could be used for any spending at school.
I came to the National University to recruit students, but in the end I became a student of the National University myself.
With an inexplicable strange thought in her mind, she complained in her heart and recharged her card with one thousand Longmen coins like an ordinary student, under the surprised gaze of the staff, and then turned around and went to the library.
The film volunteer that Bai Lang had met in the library in the morning was still at his post, and he happened to run into him when Bai Lang passed by.
Volunteer Kaixin didn't expect that he would actually get a second chance. This time he was not as dull as before. He greeted her warmly: "Hello, Miss, we meet again. If you want to read any books, I can help you borrow them."
White Wolf was very grateful to this polite and helpful volunteer, and said quickly: "Ah, thank you, there is no need to bother, I should be able to go in now."
"Can we go in?" The film volunteer was unable to react for a moment.
White Wolf tried to take a step forward, and the access control device issued a "welcome" prompt sound, and then the closed glass barrier door opened automatically.
She felt the need to explain, so she said to the volunteer: "The principal said honorary alumni can enter the library, so... Anyway, thank you very much, I won't bother you anymore."
"Oh, oh." Kaixin nodded blankly, then watched Miss Rupert walk away step by step and enter the boundless library.
Fate is so cruel, he thought sadly. The beautiful encounter ended before it even began. Honorary alumnus was not someone he should have fantasized about at all.
He suddenly got an idea, took out his mobile phone, opened the school's homepage, and searched the honorary alumni column. Everyone with a campus identity would have a record in the school database.
Cuenca...
Lelos...
Warfarin...
Seviara...
Enthiotis...
Olicia!
This is the newly added entry, with just the name and the contribution she represents:
In April 1096 of the Terra calendar, during the assessment of the natural disaster area, Olicia went deep into the illegal laboratory in the central area, successfully rescued two students, and eliminated more than ten units of infected organisms with a risk rating of catastrophic level, and protected 4 precious scientific research equipment for the school. After research and decision by the Academic Affairs Center of the National University of Victoria, Olicia was awarded the honorary alumni qualification of this year.
Kaixin just mentioned it casually in the dormitory because he was too emotional. He didn't expect that his words would be heard by a student who happened to pass by the door, and he was a student of Originium Academy who participated in the assessment of the natural disaster area.
Thus, rumors spread like the wind in the young, lively and restless campus.
The number of visits to the large library increased several times at once, as if students had suddenly become enlightened and were willing to enter and absorb the ancient and boring wisdom.
At this time, the busy and overwhelmed Ina is tasting the bitter fruit of the happy times of the past. The credits she needs to make up are not just a few, and Ceylon, who is giving her extra lessons, is also suffering.
Therefore, she was lucky enough not to hear the bad news: the number of her 'rivals in love' increased countless times in just a few days. If she were to use the clumsy Yan country lingo she learned in middle school to describe it, it would probably be something like 'within a short distance, everyone is your enemy'.
The White Wolf, who was hiding in the library reading, was unaware of everything. Although there were always curious men and women who entered the library and tried to peek at her from afar, no one came to disturb her.
No matter they were students from poor families or children of nobles, everyone clearly saw these few words in the other party's brief introduction - he single-handedly eliminated more than ten units of catastrophic-level infected bodies.
Students who have received orthodox education at national universities know very well what a catastrophic-level infected body is.
Volume 4: Chapter 151: Knight Fiction
Bo Lu, who had no academic pressure, was the first to hear the news.
This "first" is actually quite slow. It refers to the time when all kinds of news were spreading after Miss Olicia had stayed in the library for a week.
Although there are many people who focus on their studies at the National University, the majority of them are still young people, and the topic of beautiful girls always stirs up a lot of heat. Since Bo Lu goes to the library every day, it is inevitable that he will passively hear other people's discussions.
She has never been interested in messy gossip, but she couldn't stand hearing too much in recent days. That morning, she suddenly heard that the mysterious person being talked about was the one who saved two national university students in the assessment area.
Now, she immediately guessed that it was Miss Olivia, and her curiosity was ignited.
