Chapter 8: Joining the HIV Research Group

Translator: Zayn_

“If you don’t let me try, how do you know I can’t?” I said firmly.

“Alright, then you might as well give it a try.” The fatty gritted his teeth. It was very difficult for him to recruit people for his research project.

After looking at me for a while, he finally nodded.

His eyes were filled with admiration.

“I’m quite impressed with your attitude.”

“I hope I can work here. I also hope I can be friends with you.” I sincerely said.

“Haha, good! Let’s be friends.” The fatty laughed.

Then, we shook hands.

The moment we shook hands, I heard the fatty say in a low voice, “I came here to try my luck. I didn’t expect to pick up a treasure.”

The voice was low, but I still heard it.

I was secretly happy. This fatty still has good taste!

However, I pretended not to hear him and asked him, “Huh? What did you just say?”

“It’s nothing. I just said you’re a talent.” The fatty shook his head and said helplessly, “Since you insist, I can only wish you well. I hope you can create a miracle.”

I smiled and didn’t say anything else.

The fatty then introduced himself to me with a smile. “My name is Lin Hai, and I’m the person in charge of this HIV Research Group.”

“My name is Lin Luo. I’m a freshman.” I also enthusiastically introduced.

Fatty was stunned for a moment after hearing what I said. He then smiled and said, “A freshman? There aren’t many new students as ambitious as you.”

“Thank you.” I smiled faintly.

I was so happy. Finally, someone praised me for my ambition. As expected, outstanding people would never be ordinary no matter where they were.

“Lin Luo, which major are you in?” Lin Hai asked.

Lin Hai’s expression was very serious, as if this question was very important.

“I major in literature, so I’m in the liberal arts category.” I replied honestly.

“What? Liberal arts?” Lin Hai almost vomited blood.

“Yes, liberal arts.” I nodded my head.

“I’m good at science.” I replied confidently.

“No, student Lin Luo, don’t you know that our HIV research topic is a very difficult scientific research topic?” Lin Hai could not help but ask.

Lin Hai looked at me more and more suspiciously. His tone was a little irritated.

“Lin Luo, this is your first time getting involved in this kind of research, right? Do you know how dangerous this project is? ” Lin Hai continued to ask.

“Of course. I think I can give it a try,” I said honestly.

Lin Hai looked at me, as if he wanted to see a trace of cowardice in my expression.

Unfortunately, I still had a faint smile on my face.

When Lin Hai saw this, he sighed and shook his head. He then looked at me suspiciously.

“You’re not a liar, are you?” Lin Hai asked.

I almost vomited blood when I heard that. How could I be a liar when I was being so sincere?

I thought for a moment and said, “How could I be a liar? Why would I lie to You? Besides, if I’m really a liar, why would I tell you that I majored in liberal arts? Wouldn’t it be better if I just randomly came up with a science major?”

“You’re right.” Lin Hai nodded.

Then, he carefully sized me up.

“Are you a straight-A student?” Lin Hai asked tentatively.

“I guess so.” I nodded.

Lin Hai nodded, as if he had accepted his fate. He gritted his teeth and said, “Then it’s you. The essay writing level of the literature major should be higher. Help us organize the materials and write the thesis.”

I was a little surprised. Does no one in the research team know how to write a paper? Don’t tell me you’re the real scammers?

“Wait, you already have the research data, but you can’t write a paper?” I asked in disbelief.

What I want to do is practical stuff.

Why are you doing this to me?

“Yes.” Lin Hai reluctantly nodded his head, obviously not trusting me.

“How could this be? How could there be a research team in this world that had research materials but could not write a paper? Isn’t this too strange?” I asked, dumbfounded.

I really couldn’t understand what the research team was doing. They didn’t even know how to write such a basic thesis.

Lin Hai scratched his head and said, embarrassed, “Due to the lack of medical cases, the research of our group is more superficial. We need someone to help us sort out the information. Otherwise, we will fail. We came to the school to put up a recruitment notice because we don’t have enough people.”

“Okay, I’ll go,” I said with a smile. “But if I do well, I want to officially join the research project.”

I made a further request, and Lin Hai’s face immediately showed a hesitant expression. He then extended his right hand.

“Alright, we’ll talk after you’ve done it!” Lin Hai looked at me suspiciously.

It was obvious that he wanted me to join now because he wanted to find a strong man.

Lin Hai led me to the research lab’s office.

When we reached the office, he opened the door and let me in.

There was no one in the room at the moment.

As soon as I entered the research room, I was shocked by the mountain of documents on the table.

I couldn’t help but swallow my saliva. So many documents? Lin Hai really knows how to find excuses. He actually asked me to organize so many documents!

Looking at the mountain of documents, I couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Even if I were to read through all of them, I would probably be exhausted. Not to mention, I still had to organize them into a thesis. This workload was too much.
