1758 The Campus
"Come, fill in the form first."
Fang Heng took the form and quickly glanced at it. It was all asking about relatively basic information. Fang Heng quickly filled it in and handed it back.
"Senior, I'm done."
"So fast?"
Tan Guangbin was browsing through his phone. When he heard Fang Heng's words, he adjusted his glasses and took the form from Fang Heng's hand to look at it carefully.
"Major in spatial studies, also proficient in natural science, occultism, sealing art, alchemy..."
Tan Guangbin raised his head and looked at Fang Heng, wanting to make sure that this junior was not here to make a joke.
A person could study five subjects at the same time, and he claimed to be proficient in all of them?
"You, regarding academic information...You, did you fill it out without any problems?"
Fang Heng nodded repeatedly.
In order to avoid trouble, he also concealed the study of necromancy and sacred study
Tan Guangbin frowned.
Indeed.
Perhaps most people didn't have an accurate definition of 'expert'.
If it was an ordinary person, Tan Guangbin would have probably found an excuse to send him away.
However, this person was introduced by Team Leader Tong Jia. Tan Guangbin looked at the form and pondered what other chores in the laboratory could be handed over to this junior in front of him.
After all, the requirements for an internship were not too high.
Tan Guangbin pondered and said, "Junior, to be honest, our research team doesn't need the ability of spatial science at all. Occultism is a general ability, and there's no way to use it directly. Natural science and alchemy can help a bit."
"If you don't mind me asking, what's your natural science level?"
Outside of the game, it was sometimes considered offensive to ask someone about their skill level.
Fang Heng answered frankly, "I just advanced to the intermediate level of natural science/"
"What did you say? Intermediate level in natural science?"
Tan Guangbin's eyes lit up immediately. He stood up from his chair and stared at Fang Heng with a burning gaze. His tone was filled with surprise.
Following that, he was a little puzzled.
Was this for real? After mastering the intermediate natural science, why didn't he stay in the game to enjoy himself? Instead, he came to the research institute to do odd jobs?
This kid couldn't be fooling people, right?
More than 99% of the players had mastered intermediate academic skills. They were the rare talents that the major gaming guilds fought over.
For scientific research players outside the game, it was even rarer to master intermediate academic knowledge.
After all, most researchers researched theoretical knowledge outside of the game. They did less work on leveling in the game.
Without waiting for Fang Heng's reply, Tan Guangbin patted Fang Heng's shoulder gently and suggested, "How about this? Come with me. We'll conduct a simple ability test."
Tan Guangbin was looking forward to it.
This kind of anticipation came from Tong Jia.
That was someone the team leader had recommended!
There might be a miracle!
Tan Guangbin left the office with Fang Heng and headed straight to the advanced research building in the neighboring block.
Fang Heng followed behind Tan Guangbin silently and carefully observed the entire journey.
The security of the advanced research lab was much stricter than he had expected.
A team of federal soldiers could be seen guarding the entrance of the campus.
Tan Guangbin verified his identity card at the entrance of the campus, and Fang Heng was only allowed to enter the place after filling out an application form.
They entered a research building in the campus and boarded the elevator to the fifth floor.
Along the way, most of the areas were equipped with surveillance cameras.
Fang Heng remained silent and carefully observed his surroundings.
"Ding dong..."
They arrived at the fifth floor.
The elevator opened in front of the two of them.
"Junior, we're here."
Tan Guangbin left the elevator first and led Fang Heng into the large research room facing the elevator entrance.
"This is the simulated ecological botanic garden built into the research institute."
The entrance to the research lab was a hall.
Fang Heng stepped into the research hall. Without waiting for Tan Guangbin's explanation, he picked up the lab coat hanging at the side very skillfully. After putting it on, he ran to the side of the disinfection tunnel and walked around. He stood at the end of the tunnel and waited for Tan Guangbin.
Tan Guangbin looked at Fang Heng's skillful movements and nodded repeatedly. His evaluation of Fang Heng also increased a little.
"Junior is so skilled? Did you intern somewhere before?"
"Yes, that's right."
Fang Heng was silent for a moment. He thought of the Zombie Apocalypse's laboratory under Qiu Yaokang's control and sighed in his heart.
Along the way, Fang Heng observed carefully.
Other than the need for identification at the entrance of the research building, there were also federal soldiers guarding the elevators and a few research rooms.
Now that they had entered the research lab, there were no surveillance cameras.
"Senior, what's with the federal soldiers we saw on the road ahead?"
"Yes, don't be nervous. You might have heard that our school is related to the Federation. Many of our scientific research projects are cooperative with the Federation. In the past, we were invaded by anti-federation forces several times. In consideration of safety, the Federation sent some soldiers to guard the research building."
Tan Guangbin explained and patted Fang Heng's shoulder, saying "Don't worry, they won't affect us. Besides, our research project is only C-level. It's not that strict. There won't be any problems."
"Ah, right, but there's one thing to remember. Everything in the research lab is not allowed to be taken out. This place is connected to the Federation's network. If you accidentally trigger the detection alarm, it will be very troublesome."
"Yes, alright."
Fang Heng noted it down.
After putting on all the equipment, Tan Guangbin led Fang Heng through the central control hall and into the indoor simulated botanic garden at the back.
"Junior, this campus was applied for by our project team. For the time being, only our project team will use it. No one else will enter. The control hall has temperature and humidity regulations. Under normal circumstances, we won't modify it."
After entering the campus, Tan Guangbin explained as he led Fang Heng to the center.
They reached a large tree near the center. The tree was about three meters tall.
"Junior, come and take a look. This plant is known as the ancient bronze wood. It was brought out from the game and has been cultivated through special methods. The fruit of the ancient bronze wood after it blossoms and bears fruit is a very important research material, so it needs a researcher who is proficient in natural science to carry out specific cultivation operations."
During this period of time, the cultivation of special plant materials for the project was a huge problem!
Charlene's research team only had one beginner researcher.
Moreover, they had spent a lot of effort to rent it from other research projects.
Not only did they have to eat their project team's quota, but they could only come two days a week.
The most annoying thing was that the player's cultivation efficiency was very low, and the success rate was even more unbearable.
However, before they could produce more research results, the team could not apply for more project support.
"Junior, you know about natural science, right? Come and try. Let's see if you can speed up the flowering and fruiting of trees as soon as possible."
