The woman led Ye Qiuling to change into a clean set of clothes.
The fabric of the clothes has a great drape, and is light, soft, and cool.
It's mainly very convenient.
Ye Qiuling obediently took the white coat and put it on.
However, because she was too young and not tall enough, her white coat dragged on the ground.
The woman rolled her eyes impatiently at the clothes being dragged on the floor, and said to Ye Qiuling in a very displeased tone, "Don't move. Number Ten has OCD. She'll get angry if she sees you like this. Don't go into the room yet."
He turned and left the room, muttering to himself.
"I do all the odd jobs, it's a waste of time."
Seeing how unwilling the woman was, Ye Qiuling's lips twitched slightly.
They have such poor patience.
Is this really a viable research topic...?
Ye Qiuling shifted her gaze to the metal door in front of her, stood there for a moment thinking, then slowly walked to the door and knocked.
The girl was almost a head taller than her, and looked down at Ye Qiuling slightly.
Ye Qiuling instinctively smiled, "Number 10! I'm back~"
Ignoring the smiling face before him, Number Ten's gaze shifted to the wrinkles in the white coat trailing on the ground, his brows furrowing slightly: ...
As if completely unaware, Ye Qiuling continued to smile and blink at her.
His gaze fell on the sleeve that had slipped slightly from being draped over the door, and a light red mole on the wrist; his eyes darkened slightly.
Number Ten spoke in a cold voice:
"Take it off and come in."
Ye Qiuling quickly took off her clothes and threw them on a chair to the side.
Number 10 finally showed a slightly satisfied expression.
He slightly turned his body to the side, gesturing for Ye Qiuling to go in.
After stepping inside, Ye Qiuling saw a room filled with utensils. Although there were many things, they were very orderly and looked very tidy. After looking at the arrangement of all the things for a while, Ye Qiuling's doubts grew stronger.
Suddenly, I heard a 'beep' as the door closed.
Number Ten came out with a small white jacket, looking at Ye Qiuling with a calm expression: "You are my assistant, so you have to listen to me. When I do experiments, you have to wear the jacket and gloves properly, and you are not allowed to touch anything I don't tell you to touch."
Then he tossed a book to Ye Qiuling.
She opened the book and looked at all the objects and their names, and a bad feeling crept into her heart.
Then I heard a sentence.
"Memorize it all within three days."
What a cold and heartless statement.
Ye Qiuling was overwhelmed by the five-centimeter-thick book.
Memorize it in three days.
This isn't just reciting; this is deadly.
This body is too small and easily gets sleepy.
She had seen many of them while crouching in Xia Shizhao's arms, but she didn't know their names.
After reading for a short while, Ye Qiuling felt her eyelids starting to droop.
Ten minutes later.
Ye Qiuling nodded her head little by little, like a chick pecking at rice.
Sensing someone watching her, Ye Qiuling instantly opened her eyes with alertness.
Number Ten was quietly watching her, holding the medicine tube.
The way he stood still and stared at others when he was angry was exactly the same as Xia Shizhao's.
Ye Qiuling looked at the little adult number ten and inexplicably wanted to laugh.
However, a smile did indeed appear on his face.
"Sorry, I'm too sleepy."
He apologized verbally, but he wasn't guilty at all.
He looked directly at Number Ten with an open and honest gaze.
A hint of disdain flashed in Number Ten's eyes as he handed her the medicine, saying, "Drink this if you're sleepy."
Ye Qiuling curiously took the medicine and asked, "What is this?"
Number 10, unusually, didn't show any impatience; instead, there was even a hint of smugness.
"Energy booster".
Upon hearing those four words, Ye Qiuling's pupils dilated slightly, and in an instant, her face showed a hint of doubt and curiosity as she asked, "Did you buy it?"
"No, I developed it recently, but I haven't tested it on humans yet."
After Number Ten finished speaking, he stared intently at Ye Qiuling, as if waiting for her to drink it and test its effects.
Ye Qiuling: ...So I'm here to be a guinea pig?
Close your eyes, tilt your head back, and drink it all in one gulp.
The previous fatigue vanished, and the drooping eyelids disappeared.
Ye Qiuling clapped her hands in praise: "You're great! Very useful."
Number 10 seemed a little confused and asked, "Why are you clapping?"
Ye Qiuling smiled and looked at number 10: "This means praise and encouragement. The intense filming means I think you are very capable and excellent."
Number 10 stood there for a while, holding the glass tube and rubbing it. He nodded knowingly and then ignored Ye Qiuling, telling her to continue studying.
Looking at the book, Ye Qiuling made her initial assessment of Number Ten: not difficult to get along with, no extreme emotional fluctuations, and so indifferent as to be somewhat naive.
For example, when she just saw that bloody scene, she didn't know what had happened.
How did she develop her medicine? There must have been lab mice involved, right?
Ye Qiuling's gaze then shifted to the entire room.
There were only some machines in cool colors, and the walls were made of silver metal.
There's another door; that should be the bedroom.
Ye Qiuling looked down at the book and quickly made a guess. Then she decisively closed the book, walked to Number Ten's side, and watched her conduct the experiment with a serious look in her eyes.
The juice was extracted very purely.
However, this experiment is going to fail.
When he was still a child, Ye Qiuling had seen Xia Shizhao make medicine. Although the extraction and accuracy of No. 10 were good, his technique was very clumsy.
It must have been shortly after they came into contact with the medication.
After Ye Qiuling and the other ten finished their steps, they asked, "Are you just starting to learn this?"
Number 10 nodded and answered all questions:
"We've only been in contact for two days."
"So what were you studying before?"
"Make machines."
After speaking, Number Ten pointed to the cabinet under the lab bench and looked at Ye Qiuling, who had a naive expression on her face: "There are some of my finished products inside. Do you want to see them?"
"May I?"
Ye Qiuling feigned surprise.
Number Ten did not refuse, nodded, and said in a calm tone: "You will be assisting me in the future, so you can watch."
Am I the only one who's seen this?
"Yes, there are only small things in here. Dad and the others took the big things."
"What is the big thing?"
Number 10 pondered: "There are many, but Mom and Dad's favorite is an energy extraction machine."
"What kind of energy is being extracted?" Ye Qiuling became wary of this energy.
"Anything is fine."
Upon hearing this answer, Ye Qiuling held her breath and carefully examined number ten in front of her.
The phrase "wisdom bordering on the supernatural" perfectly describes Number Ten.
Coupled with their lack of morality, they are practically mobile dangerous weapons.
Ye Qiuling squatted in front of the cabinet, took out a watch, and turned it on.
Floating screen.
!
Startled, Ye Qiuling quickly turned it off and put it in the cabinet.
Seeing that she knew how to use it, Number Ten blinked, squatted down beside her, and tilted her head to look at her: "They can't see what I'm doing now, how do you know how to use it?"
“I…I had a gut feeling that…I did it.”
When she entered, she noticed that there was a surveillance camera in the room. Ye Qiuling accidentally clicked on the floating screen and subconsciously turned it off. It turned out that it was used in the same way as a personal computer.
"You've passed. You can do experiments with me from now on."
Number 10 nodded in satisfaction.
Ye Qiuling looked at her, somewhat bewildered, "What if I don't pass...?"
"Although you're a bit slow, you have some talent, so we won't replace you."
Number Ten nodded seriously as he spoke.
You're a bit silly...
This was the first time Ye Qiuling had heard the word "stupid" used to describe herself, and she felt very conflicted. She then asked:
"Were there other people before?"
"Yes, but Mom and Dad said they've sent them away."
Number 10 seemed unconcerned, stood up and walked to the research table to begin analyzing the failure of his experiment, becoming lost in his own world.
After observing and testing her for a while, Ye Qiuling discovered that she seemed to have no concept of life and death.
No one taught her; from childhood to adulthood, she was only exposed to experimental books about machines.
She couldn't even distinguish between genders.
Just ask.
"They say that's useless, a complete waste of time, and there's no need to know it."
She wasn't curious either, saying she didn't need to know or bother to find out.
A simple love for researching machines.
I only recently started working with pharmaceuticals.
That's when I started to really learn about biology.
