In this way, in his third year of college life, Ma Qiu continued to study hard while looking for various opportunities around him with his eyes wide open.
It didn't take long for Ma Qiu to be favored by the goddess of luck and get connected with a female apprentice who taught wizard classes. After showing enough attentiveness, the other party pointed out a way for him, that is, instead of trying to stay in school through assessment results, he could try to lower his status and try to stay in school as an assistant.
What is an assistant
To put it simply, a place as big as Atlanta University cannot only have students and teachers, but also a group of service providers. For example, the laboratory where experiments are conducted needs to be maintained, students' files need to be organized, teachers' courses need to be coordinated, and so on.
The status of an assistant is higher than that of a laborer, but lower than that of a teacher or a regular student. But no matter what, if you do well, you can indeed stay in school. After successfully staying in school, if you are willing, you can still develop on the path of a regular stay-at-school student.
Under the guidance of the female apprentice, Ma Qiu became enlightened and actively worked hard on this matter.
In this way, after a few months, he got the position of temporary assistant - he could do some assistant work part-time while continuing to study.
This obviously made him more tired and busier, and the frequency of inviting ladies out for dinner has dropped to only three times a month.
However, thinking about future profits, he persisted.
As he persisted, he gradually came into contact with some of the internal affairs of Atlanta Studies. Only then did he vaguely understand that Atlanta Studies was not as simple as he imagined on the surface.
For example, studying magical biology in Atlanta requires the dissection and research of biological corpses. In addition to small animals, there are also ferocious beasts and even demonic creatures. It wouldn't matter if there were only a few demonized creature corpses, but there were hundreds of them that he had handled and recorded. And most of them are fresh, not frozen, and put directly on the dissecting table.
The most important thing is that these demonized creatures are very similar in appearance, and the difference in weight and size is negligible. He can't help but wonder whether the Atlanta Society is raising a large number of demonized creatures in a secret place
Demonized creatures, raised? And a lot of it? It's a bit scary when you think about it.
For example, if the Atlanta School develops so fast and recruits so many people, there will always be a few spies, and many forces deliberately infiltrate to learn the details and cause sabotage. But so far, the destruction he has seen personally is that someone blew up a toilet in the school. There has never been greater destruction. The person who bombed the toilet disappeared without a trace the next day, and his student files also disappeared, as if this person had never existed.
For example, there was a time when it was rumored that the ninth branch of Atlanta School, Atlanta School of Magic and Occultism, had an accident during a research, and dozens of students were affected by unknown effects.
As a result, the next day, a few cold-faced wizards suddenly appeared and turned around, and the person who spread the news disappeared. On the third day, the mysterious deputy lord of Salin, Mr. Jasmine Wizard, led a group of black-armored cavalry around. It was rumored that dozens of students from Atlanta's occult academy who were under unknown influence disappeared. On the fourth day, the true lord of Sarin, Mr. Wizard Richard, showed his face, and then... the entire Atlanta School of Magic and Mystery disappeared.
Yes, an entire college, an entire branch, just disappeared—the original site was bulldozed overnight using powerful earth magic, and then a shop was built.
Until now, the arrangement of Atlanta campuses has jumped directly from the eighth branch to the tenth branch, and the ninth branch has always been vacant.
Regarding these things, Ma Qiu had no idea what the truth was. It might be good or bad, but he carefully restrained his curiosity and only understood the parts that the university allowed him to understand. He did not explore anything that was not allowed to him. What to know.
To put it simply, he works hard and studies hard. In his free time, he works as a temporary assistant to serve in various school affairs. He occasionally goes out to invite beautiful ladies to dinner and adjusts his life.
In such a fulfilling but monotonous pace of life, Ma Qiu spent half a year, reaching the middle of his third year of college.
…
In the middle of the year, June 7th, in the afternoon.
Atlanta City, Atlanta Campus, Student Dormitory Building No. 6, Room 502.
This is a dormitory for eight people. Since the sanitation was inspected not long ago, the furnishings are quite neat. At this time, seven of the eight beds in the room were empty. Their owners had gone to the classroom, library or laboratory to study and research.
Only on bed No. 1, Ma Qiu was still asleep, snoring softly.
"Huh-uh-"
"Huh-uh-"
Accompanied by Ma Qiu's snoring, a palm-sized flat ball-shaped metal object was making a rhythmic "click-click" sound on the cabinet beside the bed.
This situation lasted for several minutes, and as the "click" sound sounded again, the entire oblate spherical metal creation violently vibrated, making a rapid "click-click" knocking sound, as if there were two iron rods inside. collision.
Ma Chu's snoring on the bed suddenly stopped, and his breathing disappeared.
Two seconds later, Ma Qiu suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.
Ma Qiu stood up, turned his head and looked to the side, and saw the "noisy" flat spherical metal creation, his face showed a hint of joy.
The metal object that is making sounds is not a simple one. It is a bell timer that has been popular in Atlanta since two years ago. It is called a copper bell pocket watch. I heard that some people call it an alarm clock, but most people still think of the former one. The name sounds better.
This metal creation is very expensive and cannot be owned by ordinary people. Logically speaking, Machu is not qualified to own it. After all, if he buys just one of these, he can treat the most beautiful lady to dinner for a month.
And the reason why he was able to own it was completely lucky. He bought a damaged product from a second-hand goods owner at a super low price. Then he asked a student studying magic mechanics in Atlanta to help repair it. The price was that he would pay and let the other party invite the most beautiful lady to dinner.
With this repaired copper bell pocket watch, his life has become more convenient. He can accurately know the time and do various things according to reminders.
For example, now, he made the copper bell pocket watch ring at this time to remind him that it was time to pick up someone.
Well, pick up people.
This was a task assigned to him as a temporary assistant by the school. In order to avoid time conflicts, he stayed up until eight o'clock in the morning, completed all the study courses for today, and then slept until now.
Next... one minute to make the bed, two minutes to wash, three minutes to use the toilet, four minutes to go to the cafeteria, fifteen minutes to eat, fifteen minutes to walk out of the school...
Ma Qiu thought while doing things according to the plan.
About thirty-five minutes later, he arrived at the gate of Atlanta School. After adjusting his clothes, he pressed the Atlanta School badge on his chest, raised his head and stepped out, entering the city of Atlanta.
In an instant, something called prosperity rushed towards me.
