Chapter 581

【I'll pass.】

【But have fun, and if you don't mind, let's play a couple of rounds together later.】

Stelle: "Playing a couple of rounds is fine."

Stelle: "But I'm bringing Sister Quan along too!!"

Topaz: "???"

Topaz: "Friend, what do you mean by that?"

Topaz: "Bringing a bodyguard too?"

Stelle: "That's the only way I can feel safe!"

Stelle: "Huang Quan, Sister Quan, you'll protect me, right? (Pleading. jpg)"

Huang Quan: "Uh...."

Huang Quan: "Since you've put it that way, I won't refuse."

Huang Quan: "It's just that I might get lost...."

Stelle: "It's fine~"

Stelle: "I'll be your navigator!!"

Miss Qingque: "Oh my, did you see that?"

Miss Qingque: "This is the classic case of the child who cries gets the milk!!"

Miss Qingque: "Take notes, everyone!"

March 7th: "Child?"

March 7th: "I've truly never seen such a big 'child' before."

Stelle: "Hehe, now you have."

The video continues.

Stelle bid farewell to Topaz and Boothill,

and continued on her way.

But after walking for a while,

she ran into another familiar face.

It was Dr. Ratio.

【Oh? I remember you. Your performance at the Herta Space Station.... barely passing grade.】

【Heh, no wonder that gambler values you so highly.】

The moment Dr. Ratio saw Stelle,

he began opening his mouth to grade her.

【Professor Ladiao, please give me an autograph!!】

Stelle's brain worked as usual,

and she started asking Dr. Ratio for an autograph.

【Don't try to play tricks like that gambler always does.】

【This time I'll turn a blind eye, but don't let it happen again.】

【Alright, isn't the Harmony Grand Concert about to start soon?】

【It's a rare opportunity, go on. Only by balancing work and rest can one better absorb knowledge.】

Dr. Ratio waved his hand,

and said calmly.

【Professor, how would you rate Topaz?】

Stelle suddenly asked with some curiosity about Dr. Ratio's opinion on Topaz.

【The Company's and the Society's administrative staff define us as strategic partners.】

【But in my view, I can only ever play the role of teacher, while he is the student, just like you and everyone else.】

【From this perspective, Topaz isn't a good student, but he's certainly no blockhead either.】

【Unfortunately, the void in his heart can never be filled by talent or knowledge....】

【Let's hope he doesn't end up a philosophical zombie.】

Stelle: "Oh wow, unbelievable."

Stelle: "The Professor's evaluation of Topaz is actually pretty high."

March 7th: "What about his evaluation of you?"

Stelle: "Also pretty high."

Stelle: "High enough to surprise me."

Furina: "Uh... barely passing... counts as high?"

Topaz: "Hahaha."

Topaz: "Young Lady Furina, that's where you're mistaken."

Topaz: "Given the Professor's temperament, the lowest score at his place isn't zero."

Topaz: "It's negative!"

Topaz: "So, you get it."

Hu Tao: "Grading can go negative???"

Hu Tao: "Goodness!"

Hu Tao: "Put that way, the gold content of the passing line really is absurdly high!"

The video continued.

【Professor, honestly, I thought you'd tell me to focus my mind.】

Stelle said, scratching her head.

【Hmph, the fact that you'd ask such a question shows you haven't truly understood the purpose of learning.】

【A balance of work and rest has its scientific basis; for the relevant argumentation process, you may refer to page 21 of issue 31467 of the academic journal "Lan Xing."】

【Absorbing knowledge is for the sake of living a better life. Don't put the cart before the horse like those fools from the Academy.】

Stelle: "Wait!"

Stelle: "Which issue, which page?!"

Stelle: "Professor, you mean you read all these academic journals and memorized every single one of them?!"

Dr. Ratio: "Don't make such a fuss."

Dr. Ratio: "Is that hard?"

March 7th: "..."

Miss Qingque: "I say... this is just blatant Versailles, isn't it?"

Hu Tao: "This doesn't seem to be a question of hard or not."

Hu Tao: "It's something ordinary people simply cannot do!!"

Zhong Li: "Speaking from ordinary rationality, indeed."

Dr. Ratio: "Mhm, failing to account for the average memory capacity of ordinary people is my oversight."

Dr. Ratio: "Still, within the scope of what's within your ability, I still recommend reading more of this material."

Dr. Ratio: "Because it's genuinely very useful."

Alhaitham: "Agreed!"
