Chapter 1239 Nova

What the hell is this? !

Qiao An stared at the big oil painting on the bulletin board, scratched his head, his eyes were full of confusion, he had no memory of asking someone to paint a portrait at all...

Who drew this?

Didn't ask him, the client, to be a model. Could it be that the drawing was all based on brain power?

Well, in all fairness, the painter's skills are good, and the portraits are very vivid.

At this time, several students came out of the experimental building. When they saw Joan, they seemed to have discovered some rare species. Regardless of whether they were familiar with it or not, they all ran over and smiled to congratulate him. "Academic Rising Star" and other free "high hats" were put on his head one after another.

Joan clutched his forehead, his face was hot, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

It's no wonder that when he was walking on the road just now, others peeked at him with strange eyes. It turned out that the culprit was this happy news.

Winning the award is certainly something to be happy about, but Joan didn't expect the academy to publicize the news of the award with such a big fanfare. For a shy person like him, this kind of vigorous publicity is like a blow to the head, causing a fatal blow.

Just now, Joan felt that the campus was very friendly, and returning to school was like going home, but at this moment his mentality has reversed 180 degrees——

Don't stop me, I want to run away from home!

"Congratulations, good brother! It's not easy. You won the Rising Star Award in the first grade, and the prize money is 10,000 gold Dujia!"

Angel was as happy as if he had won an award.

"Let's go to a bar and celebrate!"

Ryan also rarely offered to drink. You know, this guy usually doesn't drink at all.

Qiao An scratched his head and thought about it. Instead of showing the public at the gate of the academy where people come and go, and seeing the happy news that made him feel so embarrassed that he wanted to die, it would be better to ask the two friends to get drunk. Maybe you won't feel ashamed.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden wave of magic power in front of him, and a ball of red light emerged.

Joan held the light ball to read the letter, and then apologized to Angel and Ryan: "Sorry, the instructor asked me to go to the laboratory to receive the bonus."

"Then you go!" Angel said cheerfully, "The prize money for the 'Rising Star Award' is a total of 10,000 Gold Duga. Don't forget to treat yourself later!"

"Okay, see you later."

Joan bid farewell to the two friends. Under the strong crowd of passers-by, he bit the bullet and hurried through the crowd, climbed the steps, and entered the experimental building.

After getting into the "wind ladder" leading to the upper floors, and returning to the state of being alone, Qiao An breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his mind.

Not long after arriving outside the door of Moriarty's laboratory, Duo'er ran out without waiting for him to knock on the door, and gave him a warm hug with a smile.

"Mr. Vader, congratulations on winning the Rising Star Award! Come in, the host has already prepared sparkling wine."

The warm fragrance in her bosom made Qiao An's heart tremble slightly, but she quickly regained her composure, thanked Duo'er softly, walked to the tutor, and hugged the smiling Professor Moriarty. The teacher and the student hugged each other tightly, with infinite emotion in their hearts, without saying a word.

After a long time, Professor Moriarty patted Joan on the shoulder, and said gratifiedly: "When old man Franklin forced me to enroll students, I didn't expect that today... Joan, I have achieved some in my life. Academic achievement, and no achievement I am more proud of than you as a student."

"Mentor, you are too much..." Qiao An was so moved that he couldn't help the red eyes.

Professor Moriarty smiled, turned around and opened the drawer, took out a blue bronzing hard cover certificate and handed it to him.

Joan took the award certificate, opened it, and there was a cash check issued by "Gulf Commercial Bank" inside, with a neat five-digit number. It looked so comfortable!

Professor Moriarty poured two glasses of amber sparkling wine, one of which was passed to his student.

"Joan, how do you feel about being awarded the Rising Star of the Year Award?"

"Of course I'm very happy, but it's also somewhat embarrassing..."

Joan took a sip of the fine wine and couldn't help complaining to the instructor.

When he came back, he was surrounded by people, and there were good news and his portrait posted on the bulletin board in front of the experimental building, all of which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"You are the third student to win the Rising Star Award in the history of our college, and you are also the youngest among all the winners. It is reasonable for the school to take advantage of the momentum to do some publicity, and there is nothing embarrassing about it." Professor Moriarty shook his head. He shook the wine glass with rich bubbles, and continued: "According to the usual practice, during the summer vacation, the five famous schools affiliated to the Austrian Law Society will respectively organize a themed lecture for the winners of the annual Rising Star Award. You see yourself in the school I am ashamed of the good news, what should I do next when I go on a lecture tour to various famous schools?"

It was the first time Joan heard that the winners would go on a lecture tour to famous schools. Imagine standing on the stage to give a speech, and there were hundreds of unfamiliar audiences sitting below.

"Anyway, this is a rare honor. You go back and prepare your speech carefully, and take time to practice your handwriting. At least you must write your name beautifully. After all, there is an autograph session after the speech. Fourteen-year-old winner of the Rising Star Award, and a handsome young man, I dare say that you will have hordes of admirers in any university, and keeping your autograph and signature will be painful."

Professor Moriarty wanted to say a few witty words to brighten the atmosphere, but before he finished speaking, he noticed that his student's face was pale, and beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Mentor, you must have been joking just now, right? Signatures and admirers... are all lying to me, right?" Joan's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly.

Professor Moriarty looked at him with sympathy in his eyes. After a long silence, he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Joan, I'm really not joking this time. It will be more enthusiastic than what I just described, you must be mentally prepared, academic stars are also stars, as a public figure, you have to get used to calmly facing the attention of the crowd."

"Mentor, I really can't do this!" Joan's head was about to explode, and he begged eagerly: "Mentor, I don't want to participate in these activities, such as lecture tours, and autographs. I don't like them all. I can't figure it out." , Does this have anything to do with my studies or scientific research work?"

"Frankly speaking, these social activities are not directly related to your studies and scientific research, but Joan, don't you want to become a celebrity?" Professor Moriarty looked at his students and told him meaningfully, " That's the price of fame."
