MTL - Druid’s Marvel Travels-Chapter 5 Excessive desire for survival

Originally, Oaks' idea was to take Zhang back to deal with the wound, and then help him find a house at most, which is considered to be helping this unfortunate child and three-quarters of the fellow.

Gugu's words, keeping him at home is not only a big killer for housekeeping, but can also cover his orange cat form.

Although now I have the strength to deal with most threats, I can start the next plan, but my status of working hard is still a little worse.

It's still a long way from the ability exposure.

Now it should not have anything to do with ordinary people, which is a large part of the reason why Oaks turned down the favorable research conditions.

But I never imagined that Gugu would have such a mouth...

"Emerald Dream" green plant shop.

The door of the store was still closed, and a sign of "rest" was hung up.

Originally, Oaks planned to relax and have a happy birthday today. He even planned to go to Chinatown on Eighth Avenue to enjoy an authentic Chinese meal.

But now he looked at Zhang lying on the sofa and had not woken up, and was worried.

How to do? You can't modify your memory yourself.

That silence?

When Zhang Youyou woke up, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Oaks staring straight at him, a fierce light seemed to flash in his eyes.

"Ah! Hero... Master... No, Immortal, spare your life!"

The overflowing desire to survive made Zhang's originally confused head instantly sober up, and he rolled off the sofa in a dashing posture, so that he didn't lie on the ground.

Before he dared to scream, Zhang immediately took advantage of the situation and threw his five bodies to the ground:

"Immortal! Zhang Shuren would like to rely on the impetus of an immortal, and he will never reveal the existence of immortals... um, and the existence of immortal pets! If you violate your oath, the sky will be struck by thunder!"

"…"

Oaks was completely stunned by Zhang's appearance, and after a long while, he pinched his brows, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:

"Come on, you've read too many immortal novels, what immortals and immortal pets... Get up, I don't want to kill you."

No, you definitely thought so!

Zhang wailed in his heart, what immortal, this is just a means of survival... It should be a demon and a pet!

"Uh... Thank you immortals for not killing me!"

It's very dangerous abroad... But my life is finally saved.

Zhang felt bitter in his heart. First he was beaten while watching a lively event, and then he saw...

Um?

Zhang rubbed his chin and thought hard, but it wasn't so hard to accept.

"What are your thoughts?"

Oaks was a little surprised, this guy seemed to calm down immediately?

Are young people today so accepting of abnormal phenomena?

"Ah, fairy..."

"You'd better call me Mr. Oakes, after all, I don't need someone to emphasize my degree all the time like some stinky guy."

Oakes looked at Zhang with a blank expression, smiled and stretched out his right hand:

"You are in my shop now, and this is also my home.

To re-introduce, I am Oaks Lin, Chinese name Lin Xingye, Ph.D. in biology from Cornell University, and the owner of this green plant shop "Emerald Dream". "

"Ah... Dr. Lin!"

Zhang was stunned for a moment, then jumped up from the sofa suddenly, he had forgotten what happened just now, and was replaced by excitement and respect.

He quickly grabbed the right hand that Oakes stretched out with both hands, and was a little incoherent with excitement:

"I should have recognized it! You are the genius biologist who single-handedly promoted Cornell University's Department of Biology to the top three in the United States two years ago—

You are only 23 years old, you are only three years older than me, I still don’t know if I can graduate with a master’s degree at the age of 23…”

"Uh, am I that famous?"

Oakes scratched his head. He has been out of school for two years. Does an international student outside the school know about him?

"You are Chinese!"

"...Well, a 20-year-old graduate student studying abroad, from Columbia University, you're not an ordinary student, and as an international student, your English is surprisingly good."

Shrugging, Oaks took his hand out of Zhang's claws and coughed lightly:

"Then what, just now, you saw something special, how do you feel?"

Zhang Yijiling's reverence for the senior was immediately broken by the cold reality - the Dr. Lin in front of him was not just a doctor of biology.

wait, biology...

"I see!"

Zhang widened his eyes and suddenly realized:

"Is that big orange your work? Are you doing research on biomodification?"

"Uh... Barely, I like to read the Classic of Mountains and Seas when I was a child."

The corners of Oaks' mouth raised slightly, this is the benefit of identity.

If the occult society causes unnecessary panic and speculation, then things in the field of science are much easier to accept—especially when the other party is an intellectual.

"It's... an astounding achievement!"

Zhang became excited:

"Lin... Well, Mr. Oakes, I also liked to watch Liaozhai when I was a kid- and I just remembered that there are many strange legends in my hometown!"

"A strange legend?"

Oakes touched his chin, no wonder this guy is so accepting, but Liaozhai, are you serious?

"That's right, my hometown is in Hunan, and my alma mater is Hunan University—I am a graduate student at Columbia University, which was sent by my alma mater."

Speaking of which, Zhang is a little proud. After all, a public student of this level is not capable of being a common scholar.

But when he thought of the identity of the person in front of him, he coughed lightly and calmed down:

"My major is environmental science, but I'm also very interested in veterinary science.

Because I like cats and dogs very much, but I can't keep them when I go to school, so I..."

Embarrassedly smiled, Zhang put on a mysterious expression:

"Mr. Oakes, my hometown in Hunan, but there is a legend of immortality... It is said that he created a great power that has been passed down for thousands of years, and many historical events are related to him!

So for the cat demon... um, creature modification or something, drizzle! "

"…"

Oaks didn't listen to it like a joke.

Hunan, a great power that has passed on for thousands of years, an immortal alien...

Why do you think it's so similar to a promotional video before he crossed over?

Well, at least now this troublesome guy doesn't have a mental disorder.

And this guy is not only a cat slave, but dogs like it too?

But just to be safe...

"Well, Zhang, is it alright if I call you that?"

When Oaks saw Zhang Lianlian nodded, he smiled:

"Gugu, it's that big orange, um, it's very important to my research, so I hope the news won't leak from you before I announce it, eh?"

"No problem! It's a matter of course!" Zhang swore.

"Very good, then since that's the case, we can be considered fate.

You don't have to go out to find a house, just stay with me. "

Oaks pointed upstairs:

"There is an independent two-bedroom on the second floor. That's where I lived when I was a child. You can live there."

"Ah, Mr. Oakes, this is too much trouble for you..."

Just as Zhang wanted to decline, he saw Gu Gu walking over with cat steps, and he quietly wiped his sweat:

"Then the rent..."

"When I'm not in class, help me see the shop, pay the rent, manage the meals, and the salary will not be lower than your part-time job at school.

Your student visa cannot work off-campus, and no one will come to check on you here. "

"make a deal!"
