Chapter 613 Chapter 615 Miscellaneous Matters
Lloyd did not hide the fact that he saved people, but went to explain it in person before Saint Enting went crazy.
Although he felt that he arrived at a timely moment, Captain Fox and Chief Judge Clown were still extremely anxious. After all, such a large group of refugees suddenly appeared outside the "Final Judgment". They almost thought that it was some evil cult attacking.
But Lloyd just went over to explain and didn't ask any more questions.
This group of refugees also learned from the Holy Grace Court how they were rescued from that purgatory. For a moment, they were naturally grateful to Lloyd and wanted to pay him a visit to thank him, but they didn't recognize him.
It turned out that the young miner who led the resistance was quick-witted and found out Lloyd's address from Captain Fox. At the same time, he also received a kind reminder from the other party, which was probably that Lloyd was a very busy man and should not be disturbed too much.
That's why he came here alone as a representative.
"I see... Then let's go somewhere else to talk. I'm packing up at home..."
Lloyd then said hello to his sister, then opened a portal leading to his own apartment which had been refurbished.
He had a very good impression of the young miner. He saw the courage and responsibility in desperate situations in him, which left a deep impression on him, so he was happy to chat with him more.
When the miner saw the portal, his eyes widened and he said excitedly:
"That's the door! I remember it! When I walked in, I thought I was dead, but when I woke up, I found my wife and young children by my bedside. It was like a dream!"
"Then you don't have to be afraid this time."
Lloyd smiled and invited the other party to go through the portal and come to the apartment that had been restored to its original appearance.
Then he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the light around him suddenly distorted, vaguely revealing the outline of a human figure, which then gradually filled in and changed color, and finally turned into a beautiful and lovely 'Metis'.
This is the [silhouette] left by Metis during the trial. She looks almost exactly the same as her normal self. She is not wearing shoes on purpose, revealing a pair of smooth and lovely feet. However, her beautiful dark golden eyes look a little dazed and dull, as if they were broken.
"Go get us two cups of coffee, and remember to put plenty of sugar and chili in it."
Lloyd gave another order.
The 'Medis' beside him immediately moved, walked into the kitchen with a fairly agile and natural movement, and started brewing coffee. Her pair of small feet stepped on the floor, making a light 'pa pa pa' sound, indicating that the texture and taste were already very close to a real human body.
This is one of Lloyd's research results in the past six months, a new version of [Silhouette]
The duration is much longer than the original [Silhouette], and it is no longer able to release only one attack and then dissipate immediately, but can execute more and more complex commands.
Although its intelligence is still not comparable to that of a real person, and it can only perform actions designed by Lloyd in advance, it is still smarter than his [Projection]. That thing still hasn't learned how to make coffee, so it's probably hopeless...
Of course, the production cost and duration are much more complicated than the original [Silhouette]. Lloyd is currently only trying it out for the sake of experimentation, so he only selected two trial participants as samples and produced two sets of such advanced [Silhouette].
One of them was Metis, who was busy in the kitchen. She was the first tester of the [Trial of Illusion] and was naturally qualified to receive this honor. What's more, she was a pretty, cute and petite girl.
The other sample took Lloyd more energy and time, and used more complex craftsmanship and techniques, and in the end, it became 'Doctor Latio' with stronger performance in all aspects and more powerful combat effectiveness.
This doctor is really capable. He is definitely the strongest among all the testers. He is also extremely hardworking. Without Lloyd giving him any special treatment or the green light, he managed to turn himself into a B+ grade personnel, which means he is very close to A grade.
Among the remaining people, the closest to him has just reached C+, which has already opened up a gap.
On the other hand, Old York, who is also a rank 8 warrior, is still in rank D...
This surprised Lloyd because according to his current design, no one should be able to reach A-level so quickly.
For this reason, he even specifically asked the other party, "Don't you need to do academic research? Don't you need to go fishing?"
Doctor Latio replied:
"I have no interest in fishing, and I am not responsible for academic research. I am only responsible for handling some clinical cases."
"Uh...are you also going to admit clinical patients? Well, my back muscles have been a little sore these days, can you..."
"I'm very sorry, but I can't. For simple symptoms like yours, I suggest you go see Dr. Maomao. I only treat more complicated and difficult symptoms."
"More complex, more difficult symptoms? Like..."
"For example, the traitors in the academy, the murderers who murdered teachers and students, and some other situations, compared to the first time we met... Speaking of which, I have been looking for that Eskimir for a long time, but I didn't expect that he would die in your hands in the end. It can be regarded as a great help to me, so now I will naturally try my best to help you."
"Uh... well, your medical team really only deals with this type of illness..."
"Haha, you have to get used to this as soon as possible, Lecturer Lloyd. Oh no... I should call you Professor Lloyd. Although this matter has not been officially announced, I have already participated in the internal review meeting on promoting you to the position of professor of the Department of Space and the Department of Distortion."
"Ah... that council is really..."
"It's wonderful, isn't it? Most of the new generation of professors support you, Fernando and Deco from the History Department, Toledo from the Engineering Department, Dale from the Materials Department, and of course, me; plus a few senior professors, such as Armitage from the Mage Department, Lawrence from the Space Department, and the dean himself...
So no matter how much the remaining old scholars objected, they were no match for us, and in the end, nearly half of them were sent to a sanatorium by us."
The internal review meeting that Professor Latio mentioned was a big news in the academy during this period. The original agenda was to discuss whether Lloyd, whose qualifications and academic achievements were obviously insufficient, could be promoted to professor as an exception, and be responsible for directing the Distortion Department while guiding the Space Department.
In theory, the voting results should be the basis.
Lloyd was naturally defeated without any suspense. After all, his qualifications and academic achievements were obviously insufficient, which was impossible to refuse and difficult to convince others.
What's more, this is a very radical and extraordinary promotion, promoting him to professor of two departments at once, which is really unconventional. It is only natural to vote.
However, Professor Lawrence refused to accept the result and overturned the table. He was the first to stand up and express his disapproval of the voting result. He also said in a domineering manner that if no one could vote to satisfy him, then no one would be able to leave.
But the other side, relying on their numbers, was of course not afraid. An equally senior professor from the Art Department immediately jumped up and accused Professor Lawrence of being autocratic and factional.
An academic dispute broke out between the two sides on the spot. In less than a minute, the old professor from the Art Department was beaten to a bloody mess, his dentures flew out, and he lost consciousness on the spot.
Then the council turned to full-scale fighting, and those who voted "yes" and those who voted "no" fought each other in the dean's office. For a while, the sky was dark and the sun and moon were dim.
Now I understand why that office had to be designed like an ancient arena...
The outcome is naturally self-evident. The professors who support Lloyd are either of high rank or strong ability. Moreover, there is also the support of the dean who is neutral on the surface but actually helps him secretly.
As for the opposition, although they have more people, most of them are engaged in administrative management or theoretical research. They may be good at verbal fights, but once they move into armed fights, they are no match for us.
This is the final result. Although Lloyd's specific appointment will have to wait until next semester and the news will not be announced to the public until then, he has already begun to enjoy the privileges of a full professor as well as various allowances and benefits in advance.
Lloyd himself did not attend the meeting. He was told about it afterwards by the smug Professor Lawrence, which made him laugh and cry.
I turned around and discussed this matter with Hiltina again, wondering if this might be a bad idea.
Hiltina nodded seriously and replied:
"It's really not good... Why didn't you call me for this kind of thing?"
In short, Lecturer Lloyd is a thing of the past and should now be called Professor Lloyd.
Since they are all professors, it is reasonable for them to have a 'Métis' to help make coffee.
........................
When the coffee was served, the miner sitting opposite looked at the chili oil and chili seeds floating on the surface of the coffee with surprise. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't dare to pick it up.
"Ahahaha, I'm so sorry. My injuries haven't fully healed yet, and the doctor advised me to pay attention to my healthy diet."
"Oh? That's true. I neglected it. Let's drink the juice."
Lloyd immediately took out a bottle of ordinary juice from his storage bag and handed it over, then said with great regret:
"What a pity, you missed out on this unique coffee in the world."
"Um... I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Mike. It's an honor to meet you, and..."
The miner Mike said, and then looked at Metis who was standing obediently behind Lloyd like a delicate porcelain doll, and asked tentatively:
"And your...wife?"
Upon hearing this, Lloyd's expression suddenly changed. He quickly waved his hands and said nervously and seriously:
"Don't talk nonsense! She's not a real person!"
After saying that, he quickly cancelled the [Silhouette] and made 'Metis' disappear into the air.
This apartment is so close to the Sanctuary of Veto. If the shrew at home heard these nonsense, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Ah? Sorry, sorry, I spoke out of turn. I really don't understand the world of you extraordinary people."
The miner said in a panic. In order to make up for the embarrassment, he quickly took out a gift box from his pocket and opened the suitcase he brought.
He first pushed the gift box he had taken out of his arms over to me, then looked embarrassed, rubbing his hands under the table, and said sincerely:
"To thank you for saving my life, my wife, my children, and I have prepared a small gift for you. I hope you don't mind."
Lloyd did not open the gift, but just turned on his psychic vision and took a look.
Inside is a relief made of jade, which shows a family of three bowing forward to express their gratitude.
It is not the kind of very green and transparent base, but a relatively cheap scrap. The workmanship is also a bit strange. The father in the family of three is carved vividly and lifelike; the mother is much rougher, not to mention the child, who only has a rough outline.
Overall, it seems very meager, shabby and of little value.
Lloyd opened the box in front of the other person, took out the gift, held it in his palm and looked at it, then smiled and nodded.
"I can feel the sincerity of your family of three. Thank you. I like it very much."
He could tell that the relief was created by their family of three.
The miner must have learned carving and jewelry processing, so his own image is more accurate, while his wife and children should have only had some exposure to the surface, so the workmanship naturally appears crude.
It is normal to have a poor foundation. As the head of the family, the young man has been arrested for who knows how long, and his family’s financial situation certainly cannot afford a better one.
This reminded Lloyd of the first gift he gave to Weiya. It was also to express gratitude, and it was also a simple handmade product, and it was also full of sincerity.
Feeling the same way, he naturally liked this small gift very much. He kept it close to his heart and planned to display it in the showroom after moving.
Therefore, Lloyd didn't care much about the remaining gifts, no matter how valuable or insignificant they were.
It is enough for these people who have suffered hardship and misfortune to have this kind of thought, instead of blaming him why he didn't come earlier.
Finally, Lloyd gave the miner a small gift in return, a latest version of the "mobile phone".
Then he explained under the other party's surprised gaze:
"I see something precious and shining in you that is worthy of admiration, so take it. It may be an opportunity."
After half a year of hard work, today's latest trial terminal is far superior to the previous basic version.
In addition to the original photo taking and trial participation, as well as the "pay-to-win mobile game" scheduled to be launched, many new features have been updated.
For example, one-click remote remittance, high-intensity flashlight, electric shaver, etc.
And one of the most important new features -
