Ninth class citizen

Chapter 81 Time is like water in the brain

Nan Rong's legs, which had already been stretched out, were forcibly moved back.

"Teacher, you wouldn't..."

Melissa nodded happily, "I will. It's what you meant."

“But I still have to substitute for you.”

"Time is like water in your head. If you shake it, it will always be there."

".But that is your unique experience. How can I be worthy of it?"

"Oh? Didn't I tell you that in our family's training, students who are personally instructed by me are allowed to share some of the work?"

"But you can see that I have only managed to synthesize a first-order E-level universal repair agent by chance. I am afraid I can't help you much."

"Don't underestimate yourself." Melissa took the glass of sky-blue wine presented by the captain of the guard, took a sip contentedly, and showed a comfortable expression.

"Of the 13 medicines needed this week, I will only be responsible for 5 gene optimizers and 1 B-series genetic disease treatment medicine. As for the rest, you will be responsible for them all."

The boot finally fell as expected, and Nan Rong's face was filled with reluctance.

"Teacher, you think too highly of me. Those are four universal recovery agents and three gene stabilizers. I already said that today's success was just a fluke. Maybe I won't be so lucky in the next few days."

"That's also the fate of those patients." Melissa put away her smile and said indifferently: "Anyway, I'm only responsible for providing the other five medicines this week."

She no longer looked at Nan Rong, drank the wine in the glass, turned around and walked towards the door leading to the inner room.

Nan Rong also wanted to follow, but was stopped by the captain of the guards.

"Assistant Nan." He said politely, "Ms. Melissa is ready to rest. Please go back this way."

Nan Rong paused and took a slight step back, as if preparing to leave, but suddenly he took a wrong step and turned around, passing the captain of guards at an angle that the captain did not expect, and rushed towards Melissa.

"You~~~ Sir, be careful!" The captain of the guards reacted very quickly. He rushed over immediately, but saw that Nan Rong had followed Melissa into the house, closed the reinforced crystal gold door, and made a face at him from inside the door.

This was definitely intolerable. The guards on the balcony rushed over at full speed, preparing to break in and rescue Lady Melissa, but they received an order she sent through the terminal.

"Don't make a fuss. Go and rest, Nan Rong won't do anything bad to me."

"Teacher, I have no ill intentions." Nan Rong gave a businesslike smile.

"I know." Melissa was completely relaxed.

"I just have a question and I want to confirm it with you." Nan Rong said.

"About the reward, I guess?" Melissa blinked.

Just as Nan Rong gradually understood her, she did the same to her.

"Teacher, you are wise!" Nan Rong smiled even brighter. "Speaking of which, the job I accepted before was just an assistant teacher. This job is already a heavy burden, but when I thought of your earnest teachings to me, I endured it without saying a word."

"But now if you add the free medicine, it's really beyond my ability to bear."

"You can't help but feel bad for asking your poor and hungry students to work for nothing, right?"

Melissa heard this in silence, but she couldn't help laughing.

"I thought you would be eager to earn credit points and advance to citizen rank as soon as possible."

"Teacher, you probably forgot that I haven't participated in the professional certification yet." Nan Rong curled his lips and said, "I am not eligible to hand in potions to gain credit points."

"So I have included your name in the cooperative rescue list of the Twin Star Gene Research Institute. Anyone on the list, regardless of their identity, is eligible to hand in medicine and receive credit points." Melissa said:

"This is a special case, but the person in charge of the review at the Federal Genetic Research Institute is my brother, so I got the approval right away." She swiped her fingers and sent an electronic approval document to Nan Rong: "Of course, there are restrictions. What you need to do is to pass the certification of a second-level genetic optimizer within three months."

"Level 2?" Nan Rong couldn't help but raise his voice: "Teacher, I haven't participated in the Level 1 certification yet!"

"Of course I know." Melissa's beautiful lake green eyes sparkled. "But for some particularly outstanding talents, they can apply for the exam at a higher level, provided they get the recommendation of the inspector of the higher-level Gene Research Institute."

When Nan Rong heard this, she had guessed what was going on. But she still looked shocked:

"Teacher, are you...

"That's right." Melissa raised her chin modestly: "I am the only senior inspector in the entire Larven galaxy who is qualified to make such a recommendation."

"But you may have overestimated my ability." Nan Rong thought of the exam outline for the second-level materials expert, and his face wrinkled like a bitter gourd:
"There is so much content, how can I possibly learn it all in three months?"

"With your qualifications, this won't be a problem." Melissa was full of confidence in her.

"The premise is." Nan Rong glanced at her quickly and said, "I will put down all my work now and prepare for the exam with all my strength."

Melissa let out a long sigh.

"People," she said, "if you don't push yourself, you will never know how much potential you have."

“Some people may look frail, but in fact, the heavier the burden they carry, the more energetic they become.”

“But there are also some people.” Nan Rong’s clear eyes flickered: “They look like they can withstand even the sky falling, but when a hundred kilograms of burden falls on them, they collapse.”

"Then let's give it a try." Melissa covered her mouth with her hand and yawned. "If it really fails, we can find another one. Anyway, the ninth-class star is short of everything except people."

"But in fact, as long as a little bit of appropriate incentives are added, the stress resistance of some people can be significantly enhanced. Why bother switching back and forth?"

Melissa rolled her eyes at her unhappily: "Why, are you not satisfied with your credit points?"

"You probably don't know me well enough." Nan Rong said calmly, "In fact, I am not a particularly ambitious person. Promotion is like a cloud to me."

"Alright. Do the job I gave you. As my assistant, I won't bother to care even if you use my name to do something harmless."

Nan Rong's smile froze slightly, and an awkward smile appeared on his face.

It turns out that mentor Melissa is not as simple as she seems.

I'm just too lazy to care about my little actions.

But no matter what, with her words, everything became justified.

"As you wish." Nan Rong nodded slightly: "I will definitely do my best to live up to your expectations."

"Is there anything else?" Melissa looked at Nan Rong, who was hesitating and didn't want to leave.

"Teacher, what do those equality fighters want to do?" Nan Rong looked straight into Melissa's eyes, his eyes flickering.

Melissa couldn't help but laugh. After all, she was just a little girl, and she was still a little uneasy when she encountered such a sudden change.

"The one they wanted to kill was, of course, the legitimate daughter of the Cambe family." She said calmly, "This kind of assassination is not the first time I have experienced it, but this time the commotion was a little bit bigger. Unfortunately, it still failed."

"As for you." Melissa patted Nan Rong's shoulder: "You were just dragged into this innocently, so just relax - you are not qualified to be on their assassination list."

She said it so confidently that even Nan Rong began to doubt whether he was being too sensitive.

The captain of the guards looked down from above and watched Nan Rong's figure disappear at the end of the path before returning to Melissa's side.

"Sir." He bowed his head and said respectfully, "I just received news that the pair of old shoes you described have been found. They are in a bar called Blue Hair Jimmy in the nearby town of Vander."
