Chapter 276: Has the paper been published?
Yi Shenshou glanced at his face lightly and then looked away, looking like he had no intention of answering his question.
Potato's heart suddenly swelled with anger, but he held it back, and said to his companions with a snort of laughter: "Alas, our school hunk is still so arrogant and looks down on others. Forget it, what qualifications do we have to talk to the dean's disciple? Let's go."
A small boy next to him echoed him in a sarcastic tone, "That's right. Although our Yida Campus Prince is not good at academics and is not a sentinel or guide, he can work in an office and can now help out in the Academic Affairs Office. So isn't it a sure thing that he will stay in the Academy of Sciences?"
"Alas, unlike us, we don't know where to go after graduation. After all, we have evolved into sentinels and may have to kill zombies in the future. Otherwise, they are lucky. In the end times, they have safe jobs with guaranteed income."
"What do you think is the use of evolving into a Sentinel? Although you gain supernatural powers, with great power comes great responsibility. It's too dangerous to be on the front line of human survival. Don't you think so, Mr. Yi?"
"Ah, alas, isn't it embarrassing to ask our school hunk this question? He's not a sentry, how can he understand our suffering?"
Potato and the boys around him were chatting with each other, and the more they talked and laughed, the happier they became.
Yi Shenshou didn't even blink, he turned his head to Ai Wan and thought: "Do you want to go in first, or should I take you to the dormitory first?"
Tu Dou turned his gaze to Ai Wan Xin.
"Hey, who is this? He looks unfamiliar. Why is our Yida Campus Prince so charming, whether before or after the apocalypse, and is surrounded by so many junior high school girls?"
The little guy who had just been supporting Potato the most said to Ai Wanxin earnestly, "Little sister, you just got here, so you have to keep your eyes open. You can't think that someone is a good person just because he looks good. You still have to look at a man's ability."
"Especially now, it's so dangerous outside. In the Science City, this weak scholar is still somewhat useful. If you leave the Science City, you will either starve to death or be eaten by zombies. You are still young and can't understand these things. As your brother, I have to remind you."
After all, these were students who had never been out in society, and Ai Wanxin didn't want to get involved with them.
But he asked Ai Wanxin about it, so wasn't that just asking for it?
After Ai Wanxin came out of Liu Wenhong's office, she put on a mask. Her sharp eyes scanned Potato and the little man through the plain lenses of her black-framed glasses.
"So you guys are quite capable?"
Potato raised his messy eyebrows and said, "I can't say they are very capable, but they are all C-level sentinels."
"Oh? What about you?"
Potato raised his head proudly, and the little guy said at the right time: "Our brother Kun is a B-level sentinel, and his mental strength is ranked among the best in the entire Glory City."
"If you can get a number in Guanghui City, why don't you go to the Security Bureau to register and wait for the call?" Ai Wanxin asked.
Pang Kun, also known as Potato, froze. “We are still students, so of course we have to focus on studying. After graduation, we will naturally go.”
"Oh, focus on studying. How many years have you completed your postgraduate study? Have you published any papers?"
"Third year of graduate school—" Potato blinked in panic, "No, how can I publish a paper in this situation?"
"If I remember correctly, the apocalypse has only been going on for a few months. What did you do in the past two years? You haven't even published your thesis in your third year of graduate school. I guess you weren't going to graduate?" Ai Wanxin sneered. "Yeah, as long as you don't publish your thesis, you don't have to graduate. If you don't graduate, you don't have to report to the Security Bureau or kill zombies. You can still be the boss in the Academy of Sciences. After all, learning never ends. You can keep learning until you graduate. Even if you're not good at studying, you're a sentinel. Even if you're a sentinel who has never been on the battlefield, you can learn. Isn't this a perfect closed loop?"
Potato's face turned pale and blue, like a sprouting potato. He was almost dizzy!
All of his younger brothers, except the short one, couldn't help but burst out laughing. When Potato glared at them, they turned around, their shoulders trembling as they tried hard to hold back their laughter.
Even the corners of Yi Shenshou's lips curled up slightly.
Potato said angrily, "Who are you? You are so arrogant in our sentinel territory. Where did you get in? Besides, I haven't killed zombies before, but you have? If there is real danger, we will have to protect you. Why are you standing up for him?"
"Hey, why are you so angry just because I asked you whether you have published your paper? Is it so difficult to publish a paper, Senior Yi?" Ai Wanxin asked with a puzzled tone.
A smile flashed in Yi Shenshou's eyes: "I have never experienced what it feels like to not be able to publish a paper. I don't know why he is so angry."
"You!" Potato glared at Yi Shenshou and pointed at him with trembling fingers.
Ai Wanxin turned to the little guy and asked, "What graduate school are you in? Have you published your papers? Can't all of you from Sentinel Academy publish papers?"
The little guy said quickly, "I published it last year! I've already written half of another one!"
“I also sent...”
"I also......"
The boys nearby tried to distance themselves from the issue, saying that before the end of the world, they were all top students who had been admitted to the Academy of Sciences. Their best skill was studying, and they absolutely could not allow anyone to question their academic performance.
Potato was stabbed in the back by his own people, and he was so angry that he saw black spots in front of his eyes.
He shouted, "So what if you can publish a paper? This is the end of the world, and those pieces of waste paper are only fit to be used to make fire!"
"Who says that a thesis on the end of the world is only suitable for making fire?" A deep and powerful voice came from behind the crowd.
Potato, the little guy and the others were horrified and shouted, "Dean——"
"Dean Yan."
Potato even lowered his head.
Ai Wanxin turned around and saw a tall middle-aged man standing not far behind her.
His hair was gray and combed neatly back. He was wearing a blue striped shirt and suit trousers that were ironed neatly.
"The evolution or mutation of your body can certainly bring you great power, but the progress and continuation of human civilization has never relied on brute force. I understand that you suddenly gained supernatural power and couldn't see your position clearly. This is why I gathered you together. I hope that you will not only continue to learn professional knowledge, but also learn how to control this power, and keep your original intention and not lose yourself. I don't want to hear such anti-intellectual remarks in the Academy of Sciences again. Do you understand?"
Tu Dou and the others nodded hurriedly. Yan Shupei's gaze did not linger on them for too long. It quickly passed from Ai Wanxin to Yi Shenshou.
"Shen Shou, come with me."
