Chapter 1108 Bonus

"That's right, old man Franklin was very angry and scolded me for being out of my mind."

Professor Moriarty shrugged resentfully, and suddenly sneered again.

"Mr. Dean warned me that if you continue to talk nonsense like this in the future, you won't let me be your tutor, for fear that I will teach you badly."

"Actually, I've seen it for a long time. The old man is jealous of me, and wants to get you, a genius, into his sect. Of course, I won't let this old fox succeed!"

Professor Moriarty shook his head triumphantly, thinking that he had seen Dean Franklin's treachery.

"I think you're thinking too much..."

Joan sighed helplessly.

"Okay, let's not talk about these boring things. During your underground exploration, there are two good news."

Professor Moriarty walked to the desk, opened the drawer, took out three brand new journals and handed them to Joan.

"This is the sample issue of the "Journal of Austrian Law" published last week. Your paper on "worm disease" was published in this issue, and you won 50 academic points."

Professor Moriarty patted the student on the shoulder with a gratified smile.

"Old man Tennyson is a cheapskate. He sent a total of five samples. Old man Franklin took one and used it as the application material for the 'Academic Rising Star Award'. I keep one here as a souvenir. The remaining three samples are for you." Keep it well, it is very memorable."

Joan held three beautifully bound periodicals, feeling extremely complicated.

When he published his first paper, the process was not smooth. First, the manuscript was rejected, then ordered to revise, was tossed to death, and almost wanted to give up.

When the manuscript was finally finalized, Qiao An was still uneasy, and was suspiciously worried that something would happen again. It was not until the article was officially published in the journal that he was relieved and felt that his work was not in vain.

Compared with the ups and downs of the first paper, the publication experience of Joan's second article was completely reversed 180 degrees, and the smoothness was beyond imagination.

He originally hoped to publish it in the "Official Law Review", but after receiving the manuscript, Mr. Tennyson recommended it to the higher-ranking "Academic Journal of the Austrian Law". Publish it instead.

It all went so smoothly that Joan felt unreal.

So until now, he dare not open the journal in his hand, check his printed article, always feel that he is a bit "unworthy of virtue", not worthy to be compared with other scholars who published articles in the same journal .

"Mentor, can you tell me the truth, is my current level really qualified to publish an article in the "Journal of Austrian Law?" Joan finally couldn't help but ask.

"What doubts can there be? You have already published it!" Professor Moriarty couldn't help laughing, "It's printed in black and white, so can it still be fake?"

"That was not what I meant……"

Qiao An sighed, and could only bite the bullet and express his thoughts in full.

"When I published my first paper, although I made a lot of low-level mistakes, I was really confident in the content of the article. I really thought that article was absolutely qualified to be published on the "Ofa Review", at least It is not inferior to other articles in the same publication."

"However, the paper was first rejected by the editor-in-chief, and then the reviewers picked on the bones and forced me to revise it. To be honest, I was not convinced."

"Although the paper was finally published, it only gave me 20 academic points, which barely reached the passing line of the "Ofa Review". I felt very uncomfortable and felt that this was unfair!"

"Compared with other articles published in the same issue, my paper can be ranked at least at the middle level. Why can they get 30 points and I only have 20 points!"

After taking a long breath and calming down his excitement, Joan continued:

"But for the second paper, it's a different story."

"If I were to evaluate it myself, the second paper is indeed of a higher level than the first one. It was published in the Austrian Law Review and deserved a high score, but it would be too high if it was published in the "Academy of Austrian Law". Reluctantly, at most it is a passing level of 40 points."

"The result was not only successfully published, but the academic points were as high as 50 points. Isn't this too exaggerated?!"

"I don't think my article has reached the mainstream level of the "Journal of Austrian Law". The reason for the high score makes me wonder whether there are some non-academic factors at work..."

Professor Moriarty nodded knowingly.

"You suspect that someone with a heart is using you to forcibly turn you into a dazzling 'genius'. In fact, they want to use you as a tool to seek ulterior interests?"

"There is indeed such a worry."

Joan nodded anxiously.

He didn't want to be used by others and get involved in those intrigues.

"Joan, from my point of view, there is absolutely no sign that you are being used by others, and I asserted that the academic value of your paper will not be lower than 50 points, and the facts have also verified my judgment. "

"If that's not enough to reassure you, let's do a little test."

There was a hint of mischief in Professor Moriarty's smile.

"What test?" Joan asked curiously.

"Yesterday you told me that you are writing a new paper recently? I suggest that you submit this paper to the "Journal of Austrian Law" under a pseudonym. If you can pass the review, it means that your academic level has indeed reached the standard rather than the result of accident or manipulation."

Joan nodded thoughtfully.

Although the suggestion given by the instructor sounds a bit playful, it is worth considering.

"Leave these in advance, and there is another good news to tell you."

Professor Moriarty touched the pocket of his jacket, took out a leather-covered gilt award certificate, and handed it to Joan.

"This is the first award you have won in your academic career. Although it is not a big award, it is a good start after all."

Joan took the award certificate and found that the profile of Mr. Dean was painted on the cover, so he guessed that it was the "Franklin Award" award certificate named after Mr. Dean.

Open the certificate, and there is a check in it, a bonus of 3,000 Gold Duga.

Professor Moriarty didn't take this school award seriously, and even sarcastically disliked the fact that the bonus was too small, but Joan was full of joy.

This is the first time he has won a prize by relying on his studies, which is worth remembering.

Besides, 3000 Gold Durga is really a lot for him.

"With this bonus, at least the tuition fees for the next two years will be settled."

"Tuition fees for the next two years?" Professor Moriarty shook his head and sneered, "Joan, with your academic level, how can you still need two years? If you don't have those messy restrictions, you can graduate now... How about you get a doctorate by the way?"
