Chapter 101 First Steps into the Laboratory
Early the next morning.
Bruno got up early and made some strange, incomprehensible noises in the bathroom.
Lynn walked out of the room, yawning.
He looked at Bruno in the living room, whose face was painted as white as a ghost, and burst out laughing.
Lynn pointed at him, unable to stop smiling.
At first, there was a forced smile, which was followed by bursts of laughter.
Bruno retorted angrily, "Damn it! This is my first time wearing makeup too, can't you at least respect the fruits of my labor!"
Lynn laughed even louder.
Bruno hurriedly ran back to the bathroom and washed off all the incomprehensible "battle marks" on his face.
Bruno walked back to the living room with a gloomy face, cursing, "Damn it, I should have hired a makeup artist."
Lynn, tired of laughing, asked, "Wait, why are you wearing makeup?"
Bruno was somewhat helpless.
"My little Mary said she's throwing a party tonight, and lots of her friends will be coming. She told me to get ready so I don't embarrass her, otherwise, how could a purebred tough guy like me possibly touch these things..."
As Lynn changed his clothes, he asked curiously, "Mary? Is your girlfriend also an aristocrat?"
Bruno shook his head.
"No, I don't want to date those aristocratic women. Dating them is like doing business. I don't understand their thought process at all."
Lynn asked strangely, "Then what is she afraid of you losing face for? With your noble status, would she...?"
As they talked, Lynn suddenly realized what was going on.
"Oh, so you didn't tell her your identity."
Bruno nodded helplessly.
Lynn laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to be so old-fashioned. I thought this kind of plot only appeared in cheesy novels."
Bruno seemed to have lost all his options. He said weakly, "Alright, stop laughing at me. Are you going tonight? She has a lot of beautiful female friends, and they're all single."
Bruno gave Lynn a lewd look.
Lynn waved his hand.
"Forget it, I'll probably be spending all day in the lab. You should go by yourself."
Bruno was greatly disappointed and looked at Lynn with some curiosity.
"Dude, so you're planning to stay single for the next four years? Don't you feel anything?"
Lynn looked at him and sneered, "Women will only slow down my sword swings."
Bruno gave a thumbs up.
"That's insane!"
After parting ways with Bruno, Lynn headed to the cafeteria.
During the meal, he answered Jack's question about alchemy.
After leaving the cafeteria, Lynn hurried towards the laboratory.
The laboratory building opens at 9:00 AM.
Mr. Vincent didn't tell him what time to go, so he had to wait there early.
The laboratory was located in an extremely remote corner of the campus, and it took Lynn a long time to get there.
Many students were already waiting at the entrance.
Lynn mingled among them, quietly waiting for the laboratory building to open.
A moment later, a middle-aged man opened the door from the inside.
Lynn noticed the middle-aged man immediately.
He was Mr. Vincent, the teacher in the exam room.
Lynn followed the queue into the laboratory building, and bowed slightly to Professor Vincent beside him.
"Teacher, I'm here."
Vincent had already spotted Lynn in the crowd.
He smiled at Lynn.
"Good, you're here quite early. Come on, I'll take you underground."
Lynn nodded.
He followed Vincent down the stairs to the third basement level.
Because it was underground, the temperature dropped significantly.
The cold, bluish light made the corridor seem somewhat eerie.
This feels very similar to being in a hospital.
No, to be precise, it's more like a morgue.
Lynn changed into a fitted white robe in the dressing room.
Lynn and Vincent carried out disinfection work under the supervision of the staff at the entrance.
They were kept in the pungent medicinal spray for a full two minutes before being put inside.
Vincent smiled and explained to Lynn, "It's troublesome, isn't it? But it's necessary, otherwise the experimental results might be affected. It's normal that you're not used to it since it's your first time here. This is the highest-level laboratory on campus, so the disinfection work is naturally more rigorous than other laboratories."
Lynn nodded.
He followed Vincent into the laboratory.
The interior decor was extremely similar to the operating room from my previous life.
The laboratory was filled with extremely clean workbenches.
Various instruments used for dissection and injection were placed on the side of the lab table, appearing particularly glaring under the bright lights.
Vincent handed Lynn a name tag.
"You'll be doing your experiments here from now on. The student in charge of this lab will be here in a little while and will be there to guide you."
Vincent pointed to the room across the street.
"As for other things, I won't say much. I usually stay across the street. You can come find me if you need anything, but please be careful not to barge in when those professors are doing experiments, otherwise I won't be able to keep you here."
Lynn nodded.
Vincent left the laboratory quickly.
Soon, the students entered the laboratory one after another and busied themselves with the preparations for their experiments at their respective workbenches.
Soon, a senior student noticed Lynn's unfamiliar face.
Lynn explained the situation to him, and the senior student quickly told him the procedures here.
To put it simply, their room is a beginner's room.
However, the equipment and some indicators here are far superior to those in the laboratories upstairs.
This is a place that can only be entered by those recommended by teachers.
They can practice here until they reach the basic standard before they can move on to the next level of the laboratory.
The experimental subjects were naturally white mice, with a daily limit of five free mice.
Of course, if you have plenty of money, you can buy as many as you want.
However, experimental subjects such as monkeys and chimpanzees are not allowed to be purchased.
After all, those are limited in quantity and shouldn't be wasted by beginners.
Lynn understood.
He left the laboratory and took five white mice from the warehouse.
Back to the primary laboratory.
The senior student winked at Lynn.
"Junior, you've already read the pharmacology book, haven't you?"
Lynn nodded.
The senior student smiled and said, "So now you're quite clear about the huge gap between theory and practice. How about it, do you need my guidance for a while?"
"Then I'll have to trouble you, senior," Lynn replied.
The senior student quickly dissected a white mouse in front of Lynn, his technique was very skillful.
Lynn watched quietly, gaining a general understanding of this senior's level.
His movements were indeed fluid and skillful, but they lacked many details.
I don't know if it's due to limited ability or deliberate concealment.
Demonstration complete.
The senior looked at Lynn.
"So, pharmacology isn't a simple subject, is it?"
Lynn nodded.
"It is indeed very difficult."
The senior student smiled.
"Junior, how about this? You can learn from me from now on. I'll be in the lab every morning, and you can ask me any questions you have during that time."
He pointed to the students around him.
"I'm in charge of all the students in this room, so I won't overcharge you. It'll be 10,000 silver nis a day, which is 280,000 silver nis a month. How does that sound?"
