Chapter 282 - 63 Young People Are Not Only Tough, But Also Cruel! (Part 1)_1
Ignoring the aggressive remarks and eager anticipation, Link introduced himself solemnly, “Nice to meet you all. Please take care of me.”
“Little brother, come to Sister Viranny, she will take care of you.”
The female Potion Development Specialist, who claimed to have a lot of resources, continued to flirt and hadn’t given up the idea of tempting Link.
“Sister Grace will also take care of you.”
The female Potion Development Specialist, who claimed not to mind joining in, didn’t want to be outdone. She indicated to Link her newly manicured nails, “Aren’t you the ‘Friend of Witches’? How do you like my nails, like them?”
Link didn’t want to offend people as soon as he arrived, but he also didn’t want to be smeared with unsavory flirtations. Seriously, he said, “I’m not a frivolous person, please have some self-respect.”
Viranny’s face changed immediately, her face darkened, visibly unhappy.
It was as if the phrase “please have some self-respect” in Link’s statement was a strong insult.
On the other hand, Grace didn’t change much.
She didn’t seem to find Link’s words offensive, she got up with a smile, fetched a glass of water from the water cooler and walked towards Link.
As she walked, she said, “Oh dear, don’t be so fiery, we were just joking with you. Here, have a glass of water to cool off.”
Link glanced at the glass and the water inside, and didn’t take it.
Grace’s right hand holding the glass stayed in front of Link, hinting that Link must accept the glass, otherwise it would definitely be disrespectful.
By rights, a newbie should always give some face to the seniors.
“Heh…”
Chuckles, Link took the glass, lifted it, and brought it to his mouth.
The four male Potion Development Specialists cast complex glances at Link.
Mixed feelings of admiration and regret.
Why couldn’t they, as First-Level Wizards, escape from Viranny and Grace’s control?
Even the once iron-willed team leader of the Potion Development Team was won over by another female Potion Development Specialist, Hamus, wasn’t he?
The cause was that they had acquired a kind of ‘aphrodisiac’ that was hard to resist.
At least, the team leader and the four male Potion Development Specialists couldn’t resist it.
They were sure that there must be that kind of ‘aphrodisiac’ in the glass of water.
If Link drinks it, he’ll be ‘captured’.
Once he smells a particular kind of potion, he will not be able to control his actions and will be controlled by desire, submitting under her skirt.
Sigh!
A great genius is about to ‘fall’.
For a while, the eyes of the two females and four males in the lab/living area were focused on the glass in Link’s hand.
They wanted to see Link’s reaction after drinking the water.
“This water, seems a bit dirty.”
However, after lifting it to his mouth and sniffing lightly, Link not only stopped his action but also spilled the water on the ground,
“I think it’s better not to drink it.”
They were strangers to each other. It was just a trivial quarrel, and he was so relentless, and cunning from the beginning. It was a bit too much.
Link simply didn’t bother to save face for the others and he sneered,
“This water is as dirty as you are. Let me remind you, not everyone is like you, who doesn’t take their own dignity seriously.”
Wow!
This young man is a bit fierce!
The four male Potion Development Specialists were so shocked that their eyes nearly popped out.
He was so direct, he was just a step away from pointing at their noses and calling them sluts.
Grace’s face changed immediately, and she was so angry that her teeth were itching.
Viranny was completely broken down. She opened her mouth and was about to curse out loud.
Link turned his eyes and stared directly at her. His eyes were cold and indifferent, but anyone who looked at them could feel a strong killing intent.
For some reason, Viranny hesitated for a while and did not dare to make a sound.
After all, she had been on the front line battlefield too.
How could she be intimidated by a rookie?
Grace didn’t fare any better.
She was standing right in front of Link, bearing a significant proportion of the pressure.
Ignoring the pressure from Grace, Link found a desk far away from the six people and sat down.
A dragon does not live with snakes.
Just from a brief encounter and a few conversations, Link knew he and they were not on the same level.
Moreover, their stances were clearly different, standing at opposite ends.
There was a high chance of conflict in the future, so there was no need to pretend to be diplomatic and cordial with them.
Ignoring the reactions of the two women and four men, as well as their whispers and private discussions.
Link opened his office computer, searched around, found the lab work log, and opened it to take a look.
Unsurprisingly, the work of the Potion Development Team has been stalled for a month.
A month ago, they were supposed to meet the needs of the Medical Department on the Front Line, and took over a business of developing an external potion.
This business was not completed in time, and afterwards no more requests were received from the Medical Department on the Front Line.
It appears that the problem for the Potion Department, or at least the Potion Development Team, started a month ago.
A look of understanding flashed in Link’s eyes.
He thought to himself, if he wanted to know the truth, he had to find out what special events had happened in the Potion Department a month ago.
But this was not Link’s job.
His position was Potion Development Specialist, which means what Wizard Palo needed him to do, was to do his job in Potion Development properly.
Occasionally, he could also work as a Potion Refiner, but it was best not to involve in administrative management.
Link thought that, regardless from which perspective, he must find a suitable time to contact Wizard Palo as soon as possible..
