In a cozy living room, Lloyd sipped the tea and pastry in front of him while listening to the white-collar man introduce the club, or the alumni association's long history and glorious past.

To put it simply, there are currently eight 'regular' alumni associations that are recognized by Mizkatok and which also maintain close ties with the college.

There are still some small-scale, more private alumni associations, or associations and fraternities organized by the graduates themselves, which are scattered and not fully counted.

Among these eight formal alumni associations, the one in front of them is the largest, most influential, most numerous, and most contributional, and can indeed be proud.

But Lloyd once read a statement in the student handbook, saying, 'Really good students don't graduate.'" ’

This may seem strange in other colleges, but in Mizkatok, it is a normal thing, and truly outstanding talents will never choose to graduate easily.

After all, the various advantages of the academy are too prominent, and aside from the academic level, the tenfold time difference alone can make people reluctant to leave.

That's why those low-rated poor students would rather take on debt and sell their family property, and they have to find ways to stay in the academy for a while longer.

In the final analysis, the quality of talents that the alumni association can recruit cannot be too high, and it is certainly not comparable to the college.

According to what Lloyd saw in the student handbook, the main members of the alumni association are some D-level and C-level students, and there is no shortage of lower, but almost no higher.

The number of completed subjects, that is, about 1-2 courses, is not enough to meet the threshold of applying for the space department.

That's why this white-collar person reacted so much to Lloyd, an honor student from the space department, and even became a little overzealous, and he just wanted to take Lloyd out to eat, drink and have fun and establish a friendship immediately.

As for his fanciful boasting, Lloyd, of course, didn't believe it all, and still wanted to laugh a little.

But it is not that he is superior or looks down on others, on the contrary, he believes that this kind of C-level and D-level graduates are the precious wealth provided by the college to the present world, and they are also an important backbone in the mystical and transcendent system, and their contribution to the present world is obviously greater than that of a few excellent students.

It's just that everyone is quite familiar, so there's no need to blow it like this, right?

Talking about 'leading the times', 'saving the city', and 'turning the tide', how can you even brag about 'opening up the wasteland' and 'fighting against the evil gods'?

Then I still 'find the miracle', 'seal the master's mother', have you seen who I have blown it to?

Lloyd couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

It can only be said that the alumni association is more or less a kind of alumni association, and the inherent attributes of the alumni association are probably 'bragging', 'complaining', 'showing off wealth' and 'burning old feelings', right?

After the three of them chatted for a while, Lloyd wanted to cut to the point, but before he could speak, another high-class man with an extraordinary temperament and rich clothes walked into the reception room, but as soon as he saw the bald Bartolo, the two embraced each other warmly.

"Haha, long time no see!"

"You kid, do you mix well outside?"

It seems that the two should be familiar classmates.

So saying, Bartolo brought the man to Lloyd again, and continued:

"Come on, let me introduce you to you, this old boy was my roommate back then, and he is also the owner of the 'ingenuity' workshop, just call him Linde."

Bartolo's introduction of his old classmates is quite simple, but the introduction of Lloyd is particularly formal:

"And this is Lloyd from the Department of Space, the premier honor student, the youngest lecturer, and the youngest professor in the future, and the recipient of the 'Outstanding Contribution' medal, Mizkatok's true pride!"

When the craftsman named Linde heard the previous description, he was quite calm on the whole, but his eyes showed undisguised appreciation and approval, unlike the previous one who was shocked.

But when he heard the words 'Outstanding Contribution' medal, he couldn't hold back, his face showed obvious consternation, and his eyes widened, so that the monocle fell off.

"Oh my God...... A big man who can receive the Outstanding Contribution Medal will actually come in person? That's just too ...... It's incredible! Oh! No, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to express that I never imagined that there would be such a day, what an honor! ”

As he spoke, he grabbed Lloyd's hand very enthusiastically, and continued:

"Please stay in the quiet city for a long time, so that I can fulfill the friendship of the landlord."

On the contrary, the white-collar workers who received Lloyd before behaved more calmly, just scratched their heads, and then secretly asked the craftsman Linde with the help of the characteristics of the quiet city:

"Father...... Oh no...... Senior, what is this 'Outstanding Contribution' medal? Why haven't I heard of it before in the academy? ”

The other party was still warm and polite with Lloyd on the surface, but at the same time he was distracted and responded to his son's question angrily:

"Haven't even heard of the Academy's highest honor? Did you only learn to soak women in the first place? ”

"Of course not, I graduated from the Department of Materials after all!"

"But you only got an E- grade in the end, and you only completed one subject, and you also have the face to call it graduation? Obviously, the academy didn't expel you directly for the sake of our family's face! ”

"Father, you can't criticize me like this, it's not objective, I worked hard enough, it's just that the subject of materials science is too difficult...... If you had believed me and let me go to the art department for a few years, the ending would not have been so unbearable. ”

"Nonsense! Asking you to go to the art department? Is it convenient for the girls who go there to soak there? Can you see how good other people's children are? I'm already a lecturer at a young age, and I'm still the one who can't even be climbed by me! ”

Lloyd naturally couldn't hear the communication between the father and son, and didn't even notice that the other party was being distracted, obviously it was the first time he had met this kind of scheming master who could do two things.

So after a polite exchange with the other party, he sat down on the sofa again, and then took out the letter of introduction written by Hiltina first, but did not hand it out in a hurry, but first explained the purpose of his trip.

"Oh? Want to be part of the process of making transcendent materials? Of course, this is no problem, and we are very welcome, and I would like to ask Lecturer Lloyd to help check if there are any gaps in our current process. ”

Craftsman Linde readily agreed, but saw Lloyd shaking his head again and again, and explained humbly:

"Don't dare, don't dare, although I am excellent in many aspects, I have no understanding of materials science, and I am a real layman."

"Ah???h

Lin De was stunned for a moment, and stopped talking a little.

I probably want to ask, then how dare you run to mix?

Of course, he couldn't really ask that, but he patiently explained to Lloyd the unreasonableness and risk, and the rhetoric was basically the same as the previous sophomore and Professor Lawrence.

Lloyd then goes a step further:

"I know all of this, so I won't be involved in the whole process, but just add it in the final environment, and then add some personal elements to the materials that are about to be completed, so that they can have a kind of uniqueness and uniqueness."

"I can understand your thoughts, but that's ...... It's not that I'm worried about the cost of second- and third-order materials, I'm just worried that this will bring you danger. ”

Linde explained with a look of embarrassment, and his son's question came to his ears:

"What is he trying to do? Why such an outrageous move? ”

"I don't know, maybe it's some kind of fanciful idea, right?"

Linde replied secretly in a puzzled tone.

Lloyd, on the other hand, noticed the other party's embarrassment and felt that he could take out the letter of recommendation.

"Please take a look at this first."

The other party took the letter without hot paint and read it with a puzzled face.

But as I read it, my facial expression was once again untenable, and even the hand holding the letter trembled slightly.

After finally reading it word by word, Linde hurriedly asked:

"Excuse me...... Is this letter for me? Can I bookmark it? ”

"Of course, if you need to."

Lloyd said nonchalantly.

So Linde took out his craftsman spirit, carefully folded the letter little by little, put it back in the envelope, made sure that there was no curl left, and finally solemnly took the letter back into his arms.

And although his son had a calm smile on his face, chatting with Bartolo about the ups and downs in the city, in Linde's ear, he asked anxiously:

"Senior, what's going on with this letter? Why are you so formal? ”

Linde forcibly controlled the excitement in his heart and replied in a serious tone:

"This letter, from Professor Hiltina of the Academy, wants us to meet all the requirements of Lecturer Lloyd, whether it is common sense or not; I also hope that we don't care about the loss caused by Lecturer Lloyd, and if it happens, she will compensate for it. ”

But his son didn't quite understand his father's formality, and still said in a slightly disdainful tone:

"Professor Hiltina? Haven't heard of it...... It feels like she's a bit overbearing and rude when she speaks, right? Our workshop and the academy are equal cooperative relations, and they are not subordinate subordinates.

So what's the origin of this Professor Hiltina? Which department? What kind of system is the powerhouse of several levels? ”

"[Veto] Department, Ninth Order."

"Heh~ This is not a bright city, just nine...... Wait a minute! Dad, how much did you just say? ”

The young son suddenly couldn't hold back and jumped to his feet.
