I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

After leaving Dean Hazlade, Lloyd went straight to the Department of Materials to visit Professor Dell, a man of great knowledge but not very successful.

As for the messenger in the autopsy room...

Let’s talk about it later. I won’t die so soon, right?

Lloyd first went back to the treasure house under the tower and took out a small bottle of [Tears of the Stars]. Then he went to the Materials Department and randomly found a classmate to ask for directions.

"Oh? You want to visit Professor Dale? I can take you there, but..."

The classmate seemed very enthusiastic. He nodded in agreement at first, but then immediately changed the subject and said:

"No matter what you are looking for a professor for, it is best to be prepared to be rejected in advance..."

"Hmm? What's the explanation for this?"

"There's really no explanation. It's just that Professor Dell is a bit of a loner? No... maybe he has a unique personality... Anyway, if you can't arouse his interest, you'll probably be turned away."

"Ok, I see."

Lloyd nodded.

He is very confident about this.

But judging from what the students said, it seems that Professor Dell is not easy to get along with?

Lloyd had already imagined in his mind the image of a down-and-out scholar who was unkempt, unkempt, listless, moody, and extremely neurotic...

I hope my [Tears of the Stars] can have the effect of ‘turning decay into magic’...

Not long after, Lloyd was brought by the enthusiastic classmate to a two-story building. It looked like an independent laboratory. There was a plaque hanging in front of the door with the bloody words "No Visitors" written on it.

"Professor Dell is here, but I don't know if the two students he taught are still here. If they are, it's okay. I suggest you talk to them first, so you may have a chance to finish your request."

The enthusiastic classmate kindly reminded again.

This guy is really nice...

Lloyd thanked him and walked into the laboratory building.

However, just as he entered, he heard a burst of whispering behind him.

"Wow? Someone comes to visit Professor Dale again? Didn't you persuade that person?"

"It's not a good idea to keep giving advice, right? What if they really have something important to say?"

"It's useless. No matter how important the matter is, it can't attract Professor Dale's attention. I'm afraid the only thing in his mind is the [Tears of the Stars], right?"

"Alas~ What a pity... Professor Dell's current situation is really heartbreaking... When I was a freshman, I took two of his classes, which gave me very important enlightenment. How high-spirited he was at that time..."

"Yes, yes. I still remember that Professor Dell was always ranked in the top three on the list of 'most popular professors' in the student handbook. He was always known for his humility, patience and kindness. Everyone liked him very much."

"Alas... let's not talk about the past. I have also attended several classes taught by Professor Dell, and I still remember them vividly. I can only hope that the young man just now learned something from it, right?"

"Don't even think about it. It's useless, unless that person can produce the Star Tears. But is that possible? This material is completely extinct."

"It doesn't have to be [Tears of the Stars], right? Maybe he has some amazing academic project on hand?"

"Oh~ You still don't believe it? Then how about we make a bet? I'll bet two five-star gold cards, and that young man will definitely return empty-handed!"

"This... this is unreasonable. Who would dare to bet on a losing game? Besides, I don't really like playing your game..."

After hearing these people's discussion, Lloyd's impression of Professor Dale changed a little.

This is obviously a professor who was once highly respected, but he was trapped and locked in his own research direction, which caused his mentality to become distorted and changed.

No wonder even Dean Hazlade was willing to convince himself for him, hoping to help him cheer up.

No problem! Leave it to me. I, Lloyd, am an excellent young man who never disappoints anyone!

Lloyd said confidently in his heart, and took out his precious medal from his storage bag and put it on his chest.

However, when he reached the second floor, found Professor Dell's laboratory, and pushed the door open, the situation was a little different from what he expected?

First of all, the image of Professor Dell is not as dirty, smelly and wrinkled as imagined. Instead, he is a gentle and handsome uncle?

He also dressed himself neatly and cleanly, shaved his beard meticulously, and dressed very appropriately, as if he was ready to attend a party at any time.

And he didn't yell or show any emotional instability. Instead, his face was calm and composed. He was holding a cup of coffee in one hand and sipping it slowly, while with the other hand he was brushing the "Professor's Manual" in his hand, as if he was reading the news on it.

In short, there was no way to connect him with the character of a down-and-out scholar, which surprised Lloyd.

But if you look more closely, you can detect a very obvious indifference from his calmness and dignity...

From the moment Lloyd walked in, the other party didn't say a word, didn't ask anything, and didn't even look at Lloyd directly, as if he was a transparent person.

Not to mention preparing coffee, tea, etc...

You know, Lloyd specially wore the medal for outstanding contribution. In theory, any professor should be treated politely when visiting him.

But this medal of success is completely ineffective on Professor Dell...

Lloyd had no choice but to suppress his embarrassment and took the initiative to speak:

"Hello, Professor Dell..."

He was just about to say hello, but was interrupted by the other party before he could finish his words.

"The reference room is on the first floor. You can talk to my students if you need anything."

"No... I came here to visit..."

Lloyd wanted to explain his purpose, but this time he was not interrupted and he could not continue.

Because he could clearly feel that the other party didn't listen at all and didn't know how to listen.

He didn't even care about the medal of outstanding contribution on Lloyd's chest.

This silent indifference and rejection is often more powerful than verbal interruption.

Hiss~ This person is really hard to get along with...

Lloyd was somewhat resentful.

In that case, you're forcing me to skip the conversation and get straight to the point...

He was too lazy to waste any more time, so he took out the lead bottle containing a few drops of [Tears of the Stars], opened the bottle cap, and let the unique spirituality inside escape.

Professor Dell, who was originally looking down at the manual, suddenly frowned, then raised his head for the first time and looked at Lloyd.

The expression on his face changed like turning pages of a book, from calm and indifference to thoughtfulness, then confusion, and finally fixed on astonishment and surprise.

"This...could this be..."

"Hum~"

Lloyd smiled coldly and closed the lead bottle again.

The next second, the professor's eyes widened suddenly, bloodshot eyes instantly covered the entire white of his eyes, and he let out a beast-like roar:

"give it to me!"

This change was so sudden that Lloyd was shocked. He quickly stepped back, carefully protecting the lead bottle, and asked sternly:

"What do you want to do? Do you want to have an academic dispute with me?"

While speaking, the [Distorted Realm] has quietly spread, and even the [Offensive Words] are ready, ready to let the other party experience the abstract culture of the earth at any time.

Fortunately, Professor Dell had not really gone crazy. After standing there for two seconds, he rubbed his face hard and quickly regained his composure.

A kind smile appeared on his face, and he explained:

"Please allow me to sincerely apologize to you. I lost my composure earlier because I have been waiting for this spiritual power for too long..."

As he was speaking, a student suddenly rushed in from the door beside him. He didn't even knock on the door, looking very rude, and said hurriedly:

"Professor, I heard that Dean Hazlade seems to have found some stars..."

Before he could finish his words, a look of as if he had seen a ghost suddenly appeared on his face.

Then he turned his head and looked at the unfamiliar Lloyd, and then looked at the professor who had also become unfamiliar.

"This... Professor, this is..."

Professor Dell just smiled and replied:

"Nothing, I'm fine. Go prepare some tea and cakes. The best ones. We must seriously entertain this... Lecturer Lloyd from the Space Department?"

In fact, Lloyd didn't even introduce himself, but his identity was still discovered by the other party. Although Lloyd didn't intend to hide it, the medal was enough to explain everything.

But it also shows that although Professor Dell is indifferent, he is not "ignorant of worldly affairs". At least he knows who the most dazzling star in the college is through the manual.

After hearing what Professor Dell said, the student noticed Lloyd's eye-catching honor student collar and even more dazzling medal. He stood up straight as if he had been electrocuted, his face full of excitement and honor, and then hurriedly ran to prepare tea and cakes.

After he walked away, Professor Dell first activated a set of soundproofing rituals, and then asked impatiently:

"Mr. Lloyd, did you see my announcement in the handbook that has been ridiculed for several years?"

"I read the notice, but strictly speaking, it was Dean Hazlade who recommended you to me... and I just happened to want to use this [Tears of the Stars] to create a powerful and reliable protective equipment."

Lloyd spoke directly to the point, and then bluntly put forward more detailed requirements, such as the final product should be suitable for women to wear jewelry, and the kind of petite and cute women, and the performance must be strong, reliable, easy to use, and so on and so forth…

And most importantly, hurry up! Tomorrow night is the deadline!

Generally speaking, it is difficult to find such an outrageous "Party A" on the market.

But Professor Dell nodded and agreed without hesitation, and said confidently:

"Then you have found the right person. Although I am currently mainly in the Materials Department, I have also made some progress in engineering. I also know a little bit about art and jewelry processing and design."

He was obviously being modest. Lloyd had seen his impressive resume. Strictly speaking, his achievements in engineering were even better than those in materials science. He was mainly stuck with this [Tears of the Stars]...

"Well, that's no problem."

Lloyd said as he took out the lead bottle again and threw it away.

Professor Dell's expression changed instantly again, his eyes and mouth suddenly widened, and he felt like there was a severely mentally ill patient sitting opposite him.

Fortunately, his hands were not slow at all, and he caught the lead bottle steadily, then quickly opened it, stamped his feet anxiously, and said angrily:

"Are you crazy? How can you just throw such precious materials over here like that?"

"Haha, liven up the atmosphere."

Lloyd scratched his head and smiled, as a small revenge for his previous indifference.

For Lloyd, is something like [Tears of the Stars] very valuable?

He had drawn a full well of liquid, and it was as heavy as an oversized steel coil...

So it’s not necessarily expensive, but it is indeed quite heavy.

Professor Dale held the lead bottle in his hand, carefully examining it for a long time before a smile appeared on his face again.

"Excellent quality! The spirituality is much richer than those old products in the academy! But why is there some weird spirituality mixed in? This has slightly affected the purity, otherwise it can be called perfect. Fortunately, the problem is not big, and a little filtering can ensure its purity..."

He was not communicating with Lloyd, but simply talking to himself.

As if that wasn't enough, he continued to add:

"The amount is really huge. It's more than enough to make a set of medical armor, and there's still a lot left for me. Should I return it in full? Or should I give it back secretly..."

Having said this, he suddenly realized that he had spoken out his true feelings in such a state of excessive excitement.

I had to explain hurriedly:

"Uh... that... please don't get me wrong, that's not what I meant, I just..."

"Haha...it's okay. You just need to help me create the jewelry that meets my requirements. You can stay and research the rest on your own."

Lloyd said this in an exceptionally generous manner.

I have saved so many [Tears of the Stars], but I don't know how to process them. I will definitely have to rely on others in the future. So now I naturally have to be generous and sincere to build friendship and trust.

Professor Dale really felt Lloyd's sincerity. If his student hadn't brought back the tea and snacks in time, he would have burst into tears.

"Mr. Lloyd, you are so generous! Your existence is an honor to Mizkatok, an honor to academia, and an honor to all mankind!"

Lloyd felt a little embarrassed...
