Chapter 2315 I Don't Care
Thinking of this, Joan couldn't help feeling uplifted, without any sleepiness, so she sent a sample magazine to Gaina, who was far away in the polar region, and attached a letter to share the joy of success with her.
Within half an hour, Joan received a reply from Gaina.
The Winter Witch was very happy and decided to hold a party in the temple to celebrate the publication of the thesis.
But for the fact that she only got 89 points for the thesis, she was somewhat regretful, and wrote to Qiao An to complain:
"Editors and reviewers are cheapskates! It would be great if I could score 1 more point!"
There doesn't seem to be much difference between 90 points and 89 points, right?
Joan vaguely remembered what she had said to Gaina, as long as she could publish a paper with a score of 90, what would happen?
Sigh~ Insufficient sleep leads to memory loss, I really can't remember it!
Forget it! Pretend it's nothing like that, let's go back to sleep quickly.
Joan slept until ten o'clock in the morning before getting up to prepare for the spell.
While washing up, I received a "SMS" from Kandy.
"Rebecca and I rode a horse for an outing in the morning and picked a basket of fresh mushrooms. Rebecca wants to drink mushroom soup at noon, so I want you to come and cook for us."
"Why do you ask me to cook for you?" Joan wrote back indignantly, "There are more than 20 cooks in Rebecca's family, isn't it enough for you?"
"Rebecca said that your craftsmanship is better than that of the chef, she loves to eat the dishes cooked by you, and so do I."
Qiao An sneered secretly after reading Kandy's letter. Fortunately, she had a high EQ, otherwise she would have been fooled by them.
I have a fart cooking skill, you two little girls are clearly the "magic pot" who is greedy for me!
He was about to cast a spell to teleport to the White House Manor, to expose Rebecca and Kandy's true thoughts face to face, when suddenly there was a wave of magic power in front of him, and a ball of red light emerged.
Joan held the light ball and sensed a text message from Master Rawls, asking him to go to the laboratory.
After thinking about it for a while, Joan guessed Master Rawls' intention, and wrote back to Conti first, asking her and Rebecca to wait a while, and then went to the White House Manor after finishing the work at hand, and cooked a pot of delicious mushroom soup for them .
A few seconds later, Joan teleported to the Rawls Laboratory of Leiden College, pushed open the door, and saw Master Rawls sitting at his desk flipping through a journal, which was the latest issue of "Exploration of Arcana".
"Joan, come and sit down!" Master Rawls poured a cup of coffee for his favorite student, picked up the journal and asked, "The Mystery of the Gathering, the paper you collaborated with Gaina, how did I become a newsletter?" author?"
Joan had expected this question a long time ago, shrugging his shoulders and spreading his hands, with a helpless expression on his face: "When I submitted the paper, I had already accepted Mr. Jefferson's invitation to visit Leiden College. You also know that visiting scholars do not have their own laboratories. , To publish a paper, you must provide a mailing address, I thought about it, and finally I can only fill in 'Robert Rawls Laboratory'."
"It's okay to be attached to the laboratory, but in this way, I will become the corresponding author of this paper, isn't it appropriate?" Master Rawls looked embarrassed, "I didn't participate in your project..."
"I'm your student. It's not normal for the tutor to put his name on the student's thesis."
"But after all, I didn't participate in this work. I took advantage of it for nothing. I feel like a thief..." Master Rawls scratched his head with a tangled expression, "Joan, to be honest, the level of your paper It's very high, it's beyond my ability, even if it's just a name, it makes me feel ashamed."
Master Rawls' attitude towards academic ethics reminded Joan of Professor Moriarty.
Although these two tutors have completely different personalities, they have the same principle-never willing to use the achievements of their students to enhance their reputation.
"Mentor, I can understand your feelings, but I still have a paper to submit, and I have to borrow your laboratory for the mailing address. If you take the time to help me take a look, it won't be a waste of money, right?"
Master Rawls took the thick stack of manuscripts from Joan, flipped through a few pages and realized that the level of this paper was higher than the previous one published in "Alpha Exploration". I don't understand, how can I provide any guidance?
Of course he could see that what Joan said about "attaching to the laboratory" was just an excuse. If he really wanted to have an independent laboratory, wouldn't it just be a matter of saying hello to the principal? The reason why he is listed as the corresponding author is actually to give him two high-scoring papers for nothing.
He was moved by the kindness of the students, but deep down, he still felt that he should not take advantage of it.
"Joan, there are some things I wanted to tell you a long time ago, I hope you don't misunderstand."
Master Rawls sighed, looking at the students with incomparable sincerity.
"Joan, regardless of spellcasting ability or academic level, you have greatly surpassed me as a teacher, and you can't learn anything valuable from me."
"You should enjoy a better environment and resources, go back to Midgard University to accept a professor appointment letter, establish an independent laboratory named after your surname, recruit assistants and students to assist your research work, not just as a visiting scholar A waste of precious time, energy and talent by staying at this second-rate university."
"Mentor, thank you for your warning, but I really didn't waste my time by your side." Joan pointed at the manuscript aggrievedly, "Look, the 200,000-word essay is enough to prove my diligence."
"Of course you are very hardworking. I have never doubted this since the first day I met you, but Joan, your diligence should have brought you more reputation and income, and Leiden College is too small to provide A platform that matches your potential."
"I really don't care about tutors, teaching positions, reputations and interests. Leiden College has you and my good friends. For me, that's enough." Joan said seriously, "If in the future One day, I feel that this place is no longer suitable for me, and I will leave naturally.”
Master Rawls hesitated to speak, and sighed helplessly.
"Well, my boy, as long as you're happy."
...
For Joan’s papers published in the past, the correspondence address was “Midgard University-Trofim Moriarty Laboratory”, this time it was changed to “Leiden College-Robert Rawls Laboratory”, citing The attention that came was beyond his expectations.
While he was chatting with Master Rawls, he received two magical letters one after another. The senders were Professor Moriarty and Dean Franklin, asking him in a roundabout way if he had really switched to Leiden College. .
Joan had to write back to explain.
After a busy morning, it was almost noon when he said goodbye to Master Rawls.
Joan was afraid that Kandy and Rebecca would get impatient, so he directly cast a spell to teleport to the White House Manor.
