"Grandmaster, have you taken your medicine today?" The chief engineer coughed and asked.
"What's the difference between taking medicine and not taking medicine? Will the world become better after taking medicine? It's just fake hormone secretion. It can only deceive myself. "
The Grandmaster drooped his head and said dejectedly, "Compared to the universe, compared to the world, we are just dust. Compared to hell, our existence is just a moment … Whether a moment is happy or sad, it's meaningless … I've been thinking about illusory love, about the ever-changing miracles, but there's no answer to all of this. It's just like my life. I've just accepted an empty reality … "
Hiss!
Huai Shi felt the negative energy rushing towards him and sucked in a breath of cold air.
The Grandmaster was so terrifying!
Even a negative energy nuclear power plant like Huai Shi could not stand such a gloomy atmosphere.
What was going on?
"It's the accident of the last experiment."
Andrea leaned closer and whispered, "In addition to the qualitative change in his steel body, occasionally after presiding over the ceremony, he will suddenly become depressed. He'll be fine after a while."
No, no, no, this was not to the extent that he would be fine just by leaving him alone!
Why do you still want him to stay in hell … Hurry up and take him to see a psychiatrist!
Besides, is it really okay to manage the Iron Crystal Constellation in this state? Will he suddenly drive the submarine to hell and self-destruct when he gives up on himself one day?
Just as the Grandmaster continued to emit negative energy, the few people in charge had already skillfully held down the Grandmaster, who was more than three meters tall, and poured medicine into his mouth.
The Grandmaster did not resist. He sat there indifferently, as if he was too lazy to even struggle.
Soon, the special alchemy medicine took effect.
On the Grandmaster's body, the color of steel gradually faded, and the texture of flesh and blood emerged. However, his hair, eyebrows, and eyes still carried the cold light of steel.
The qualitative change caused by the alchemy accident still remained in his body.
But now, Huai Shi could feel that there was a majestic miracle and an equal amount of calamity operating in that enormous body. It was as if he was standing in front of a giant furnace, experiencing the majestic rhythm of countless calamities and miracles woven together.
In this half-inhuman body, alchemy reactions were happening all the time. Who knew how many complicated matrices were intertwined to form the Great Grandmaster in front of him.
As he recovered, the real Grand Master Mikhail raised his eyes. His expression was calm and cold. Even his tone was filled with a strong and abnormal mechanical feeling.
"Since the situation is clear, let's carry it out." He asked, "Does anyone have any objections?"
No one said anything.
Compared to his previous appearance, his current state was even more inhuman.
The gloominess was swept away, and at the same time, it became even more dignified and cold, revealing an enormous sense of existence that was like a raging flame.
Huai Shi found it hard to understand which part of him was normal.
"That's it then. I still have things to do, so don't bother me if there's nothing important. During the exploration period, he will be in charge of the Iron Crystal Constellation. "
As he spoke, the Great Grandmaster casually pointed.
In the dead silence, he pointed at the stunned Huai Shi.
What the hell?
Huai Shi was dumbstruck and in disbelief.
He looked back blankly. After confirming that there was no one behind him and that there was no one in front of him, he looked at the Great Grandmaster with a hundred thousand question marks.
— — What do you mean?
The Great Grandmaster frowned and looked over unhappily, "I just hate doing these things, so I specially found someone to be in charge. Could it be that Russell, that old bastard, didn't tell you anything?"
So you've been waiting for me here!
Huai Shi's expression twitched. He could not help but ask, "You already know that he's an old bastard, so why are you still asking me?"
"You're right."
Obviously, he had a deep understanding of Russell's character. Mikhail nodded slightly and asked, "You're his new secretary?"
"Yes." Huai Shi nodded.
Suddenly, a trace of pity appeared from Mikhail's mechanical indifference. He asked again, "A new student?"
"… … More or less." Huai Shi shrugged.
"Then it's not easy for you."
It was as if he was looking at an unlucky person tied to hell's express train. The Great Grandmaster actually patted him on the shoulder with rare warmth as an encouragement.
"Then you see, the decision just now, isn't it …"
"Isn't it what?"
Mikhail asked indifferently, "Sympathy is sympathy, work is work. I'm too lazy to care about these things. Since you're the principal's secretary, then you're Russell's representative here. What's wrong with handing these things over to you? "
"No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem right?!"
Huai Shi widened his eyes. He did not know what was going on in Mikhail's mind.
He had just arrived at the Iron Crystal Constellation and had not even sat down or drank a mouthful of hot water. How did he suddenly become the temporary person in charge of this branch?
Even if he was messing around, there should be a limit.
"Does anyone have any objections?"
The Great Grandmaster raised his head and asked. Suddenly, Huai Shi's heart was filled with hope. Yes, everyone here is a senior. How could they see an ignorant newbie riding on their shoulders? They would definitely strongly … …
Wait!
Why are you all just watching and not saying anything!
Huai Shi's expression twitched even more violently. She stared at the calm faces around her, hoping to see the slightest bit of indignation in them.
However, no one said anything. Instead, a few people nodded in agreement.
"Since you're the principal's secretary, then that's great."
"That's good too. Great Grandmaster, you're not very good at dealing with these things."
"If someone can take over the job, then you can have a good rest."
… …
Why is the plot not right here!
Huai Shi held on to the last glimmer of hope. He looked at Andrea and hoped that she would say something.
Andrea seemed to understand his uneasiness and fear. At the crucial moment, the big sister still stood up and chose to speak up for Huai Shi.
"Although Teacher Huai Shi is young, he has a rich resume, integrity, rich experience, and is good at learning … … I believe that as long as he's given some time, he'll definitely be able to adapt to this job!"
"… …"
Huai Shi was in complete despair.
Big sister, did I ask you to help me say this?
Martin! Where's Martin? Hurry up and say something!
When he was anxious to find someone to oppose him, he remembered that the only person who would oppose him, Martin, seemed to have been stuffed into the backup team … …
"Since no one objects, then it's settled." The Great Grandmaster waved his hand and said to Huai Shi, "If there's any technical problem that you can't solve, just ask me. You can solve the rest on your own. Don't bother me."
"No, wait a minute!"
Huai Shi stopped the Great Grandmaster who was about to leave. "Can you at least tell me what exactly I'm supposed to do?"
"Face the problem, deal with the current situation, propose a solution, finalize a plan, and prepare to execute it. If it succeeds or fails miserably, then everyone can go home."
Mikhail waved his hand indifferently. "Anyway, even if there's a responsibility in the end, I don't need to take responsibility."
Nonsense, of course you don't need to take responsibility … …
"Then what about me?!"
Huai Shi was furious. If no one cared, then wouldn't he have to take the blame?
If the whole team was wiped out here, even if he went back alive, he would be socially dead in the future!
"Then I can't help."
The Great Grandmaster shrugged and waved his hand and left.
Only Huai Shi and the other people in charge were left looking at each other.
.
.
On the first day of the business trip, he was arranged to be the head of the place and became the overall person in charge. He was even given a wolf dog. What should he do? It was quite urgent.
There was no ostracization, indifference, or alienation as expected.
After a few people in charge had a simple introduction with Huai Shi, they quickly prepared to hand over the authority in their hands and submit the documents and affairs accumulated over the past few days.
Huai Shi rejected all of them with the excuse of 'tired from the journey, we'll talk about it tomorrow' …
Until he walked out of the bridge, Huai Shi still looked numb and his feet were a little light.
He couldn't believe what had happened.
Ogyust, who had witnessed the whole process from beginning to end, patted his shoulder sympathetically.
"No one can go against the Great Grandmaster's words and actions," he said. "Although this matter is a little against the rules, since the Great Grandmaster has personally appointed it, then I can only leave it to you."
"Wait —"
Huai Shi stopped in his tracks. His absent-minded expression suddenly turned serious, but his eyes became a little strange.
He stared straight, making Ogyust a little scared.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"You just said that we can't follow the rules, right?" Huai Shi asked seriously. "That is to say, his temporary appointment, my authority, and all the orders and appointments I issue next … are all improper and illegal?"
"Uh … According to the procedure, that's the case."
Ogyust nodded and asked doubtfully, "Are you going to plead your case to the academy's teaching and research office? I think it's probably not going to work out. You'd better give up. "
"No."
Huai Shi's smile gradually became cheerful. "I'm just suddenly full of confidence …"
For some reason, after learning that he was being forced to do something illegal, Huai Shi's fear suddenly disappeared, and his whole person became a hundred times more confident.
He felt that there were countless inspirations and plans emerging in his mind, and his energy began to flourish. Every cell in his body was holding back a burst of strength to start something.
He was eager to try.
It was as if he had suddenly become a different person.
It scared Ogyust. He didn't know what was going on with this little brother in front of him, and he didn't know what kind of switch his unintentional words had just pressed.
"You must be tired, right?"
He guessed. "I'll send you to the dormitory area to rest."
"No, time is tight."
Huai Shi smiled, and his eyes lit up with a strange brilliance. "Since the Great Grandmaster has given me such a heavy responsibility, how can I rest … Let's start by understanding the situation first."
He liked this job after all.
