Druid's Marvel Travels

Chapter 5 Full of Desire for Survival

Originally, Oakes' idea was to take Zhang back to treat the wound, and then at most help him find a house, which can be regarded as helping this unlucky boy and three quarters of his fellow countrymen.

For Cuckoo, keeping him at home is not only a great weapon for guarding the house, but also a cover for his orange cat form.

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

The exposure of the ability is still a little short.

It shouldn't be related to ordinary people now, which is a large part of the reason why Oakes turned down the favorable research conditions.

But I never expected that Gu Gu has such a mouth...

"Emerald Dream" green plant shop.

The store is still closed, with a "Closed" sign on it.

Originally, Oakes 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, who was lying on the sofa and hadn't woken up, and felt worried.

what to do?Memory modification can't be done by itself.

Then silence?
When Zhang Youyou woke up, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Oakes staring at him blankly, a fierce light seemed to flash in his eyes.

"Ah! Hero... Master... No, immortal!"

The overflowing desire to survive made Zhang's head, which was still a little confused, instantly wake up. He rolled off the sofa in a throwing posture, so that he could not hang on the ground.

Without daring to scream out loud, Zhang immediately took advantage of the situation and gave a five-body prostration gift:
"Immortal! Zhang Shuren is willing to rely on the immortal's urging, and will never reveal the existence of the immortal...er, and the existence of the immortal pet! If he breaks his oath, the sky will be struck by lightning!"

"..."

Oakes was completely dumbfounded by Zhang's words, and he squeezed his eyebrows dumbfounded after a while:

"Come on, you've read too many fairy novels, what kind of fairy pet... Get up, I'm not going to kill you."

No, you definitely thought so!
Zhang wailed in his heart, what kind of immortal, this is just a means of survival... Then it should be the devil and the devil!
"Uh...thank you immortal for not killing me!"

It's so dangerous abroad...but my life was finally saved.

Zhang felt bitter. First he was beaten up while watching the excitement, and then he saw it again...

Ok?
Zhang rubbed his chin and thought about it. Speaking of it, it's not so difficult to accept.

"Any ideas?"

Oakes was a little surprised, this guy seemed to calm down immediately?
Are young people today so accepting of anomalies?
"Ah, fairy..."

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

Oakes looked at the dazed Zhang, smiled and stretched out his right hand:
"You are in my shop now, this is also my home.

Let me re-introduce, I am Oaks Lin, my Chinese name is Lin Xingye, I have a Ph.D. in Biology from Cornell University, and I am also the owner of this green plant shop 'Emerald Dream'. "

"Ah... Dr. Lin!"

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

He hastily grasped the right hand extended by Oakes with both hands, and was a little incoherent with excitement:

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

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

"Um, am I that famous?"

Oakes scratched his head, he has been out of school for two years, does an international student who is not from the school know him?

"You are Chinese!"

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

Shrugging, Oakes pulled his hand out of Zhang's claw, and coughed lightly:
"Then what, just now, you saw something special, what do you think?"

Zhang Yi was shocked, and his reverence for his predecessors 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's eyes widened, and he suddenly realized:
"That big orange, is it your work? Are you doing research on biological modification?"

"Uh... barely, I liked reading The Classic of Mountains and Seas when I was young."

The corners of Oakes' mouth were raised slightly, which was the benefit of his status.

If the Mystery Society caused unnecessary panic and speculation, then things in the scientific category would be much easier to accept—especially if the other party was an intellectual.

"What a...shocking achievement!"

Zhang got excited:
"Lin... Well, Mr. Oakes, I also liked watching Liaozhai when I was a child—and I just remembered that there are many strange legends in my hometown!"

"Strange legend?"

Oakes rubbed his chin, no wonder this guy is so receptive, but Liaozhai, are you serious?
"That's right, my hometown is in Hunan, and my alma mater is Hunan University—I was sent by my alma mater to study for a master's degree at Columbia University."

Speaking of this, Zhang is a little proud. After all, this level of government-sponsored international students is not something that ordinary academic masters are capable of.

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

"My major is the Department of Environmental Science, but I also have a lot of research in veterinary medicine.

Because I like cats and dogs very much, but I can’t keep them when I’m in school, so..."

Smiling embarrassedly, Zhang put on a mysterious expression:

"Mr. Oakes, my hometown is Hunan, but there are legends about immortality... It is said that he created a powerful force that has been passed down for thousands of years, and many historical events are related to him!
So for cat demons... uh, transforming creatures or something, it's drizzle! "

"..."

Oakes didn't listen to it like a joke.

Hunan, a powerful force that has been passed down for thousands of years, an immortal alien...

Why do you think it is so similar to a promotional video he made before time travel?
Well, at least now this troublesome guy will not have any psychological barriers.

And this guy is not only a cat slave, but also dogs?
But just to be on the safe side...

"Well, Zhang, it's okay if I just call you that?"

Seeing Zhang Lianlian nodding, Oakes smiled:

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

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

"Very well, since this is the case, we are also destined.

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

Oakes 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."

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

Zhang Gang wanted to decline, but when he saw Gu Gu walking over, he quietly wiped his sweat:

"Then the rent..."

"When I'm not in class, help me watch the store to pay the rent, take care of the meals, and the salary will not be lower than your part-time job at school.

You can't work off-campus with your student visa, and no one here will check you. "

"make a deal!"
