Chapter 94
Adam was not interested in asking Frank the reason. Instead, he directly put forward his own idea. "If you are willing to be my test subject, the laboratory can pay for a high-level mechanical body for you. But before you change it, I need to modify it. I can't guarantee the success rate of the modification. It may solve your problem, but it may also …"
"Die?"
"Probably, or it could be worse." Adam shook his head.
"Use your new research results?"
"Yes."
Frank used his power of the will to scan his whole body. He felt the exhaustion of his life force and a faint discomfort. He fell silent.
Adam was not in a hurry to get an answer. Even if Frank did not agree, he could modify a mechanical body himself. As for the test subject, he could buy a slave. The reason why he chose Frank could be said to be a benefit for the old members of the laboratory.
Moreover, there was a lot of preparation work before the modification. At least, he had to buy some sophisticated alchemy equipment first.
"You can think about it. Give me an answer within three days." Adam turned and walked out.
Before Adam was about to walk out of the observation room, Frank made a decision. "I agree."
Adam turned his head and said, "Wise choice. Later, come to my office to sign a new contract. Then, you can choose a mechanical body yourself. The price is within ten Ether crystals."
.....
After that, Adam walked out of the laboratory. After a few turns, he came to the door of Master Kino's alchemy laboratory.
The visiting card had been handed to Master Kino before, so Adam smoothly entered the laboratory.
This time, Adam saw a few apprentice assistants in the laboratory. Adam did not know them, but they were all looking at Adam with strange eyes.
He hadn't discovered it before, but only recently did Adam find out that he was the only one in the entire academy who had entered the Elemental Laboratory Building as an acolyte. This special honor had indeed attracted a lot of jealousy, but because Adam lived in seclusion and had a weak reputation from the past, there weren't any idiots who didn't open their eyes who came looking for trouble.
"Master Kino is waiting for you inside." A female apprentice assistant came to Adam and said.
Adam thanked her and was about to walk in when he heard a strange voice. "I really don't know what the approval department is thinking. What's the difference between letting an apprentice build an elemental laboratory and throwing money into the water?"
"Ha, maybe that guy really has some talent?"
"Hmph, I don't know what trick he used to fool the mage."
The apprentice who led the way looked embarrassed. She looked back at Adam and said softly, "Please don't mind …" She did not know Adam, but an apprentice who could build an independent laboratory must be proud and strong. She was afraid that Adam would have a conflict with his companions in the laboratory. That would only cause Master Kino's anger. Not only would the two parties involved in the conflict, but she, as the guide, would also be punished.
Adam did not even turn his head. This kind of low-level emotional venting could not attract Adam's attention.
Psychokinetic waves could be felt from most of the apprentices in the laboratory. In other words, they were practicing the meditation technique Adam had created, and then looked down on him, the creator.
The laboratory was filled with metal elements. If Adam wanted to, he could easily kill all of them in an instant. However, Adam would not do so. It was not only because it would anger Master Kino, but also because they were jealous of Adam for receiving better treatment but not producing results. This was an academic battle. Resorting to violence would only make Adam look guilty.
"Please continue to lead the way."
The female apprentice sighed in relief. She looked at Adam with gratitude in her eyes. She hurriedly quickened her pace and led Adam deeper into the laboratory. "That is Master Kino's room." After saying that, she turned around and ran away.
The door opened automatically. Master Kino waved at Adam, indicating for him to come in.
After Adam sat down and bowed, Master Kino smiled and said, "How does it feel to be looked down upon? I thought you would not be able to resist. "
It was obvious that what happened in the outside world could not be hidden from the eyes of a mage. Master Kino's tone was full of mockery.
As an official mage, he knew the importance of Adam and the things that happened to Adam. If there was a result, nothing was more important than a promotion knowledge. It meant that many apprentices could become mages because of this.
Adam shook his head and did not say anything. Master Kino did not care either.
"Little fellows always have to go through the process of going from being stupid to wise. A small lesson is for their own good." Master Kino said kindly. In other words, in the mages' hearts, Adam was already a life form that they could talk to on equal terms.
"So, what is your purpose in coming here?"
Adam was already prepared. He took out a piece of paper from his portable space. On the paper was a list of things he needed to order, including ultra-precision lathes, miniature mechanical arms and other instruments that could be used for precision processing, as well as puppet robots with alchemy runes.
Master Kino skimmed through the list and said with a strange expression, "I remember that your research direction is the electric element?"
Adam nodded and said, "Yes, Master Kino. But I have some new ideas. If they can be implemented, they will produce results very quickly."
"That's good. I heard from Victor The Mage that you are on the verge of promotion. If you want to participate in the trial, it is indeed not suitable for you to continue researching the electric element."
Master Kino only thought that Adam wanted to find something else to do for a change of mood. In any case, with the support of the academy, Adam could do whatever he wanted during this period. He did not say anything more. He handed the list to the puppet beside him and ordered it to prepare. Then he said to Adam, "The cost will be automatically deducted from your laboratory account. If there is nothing else, you may leave. "
Adam left as instructed, still ignoring the rumors of the apprentices. He went straight back to his laboratory. Master Kino was very efficient. In less than an hour, all the instruments Adam ordered had been delivered to the laboratory. Adam ordered the puppet to open up a new room to set up the instruments. He then said to Frank, who was silently sitting on the side, "I hope that you have three days to prepare a new mechanical body and prepare to separate it from the current one. This process will be very painful. You can order a nerve suppressant from Eliot in advance."
James still did not know what was going on. He was stunned when he heard this. "A new mechanical body? Frank, have you forgotten that your body can no longer withstand this kind of change? "
