The correct way to cultivate poros

Chapter 19 Hex Transformer
Zell came to the college's self-built apartment building, where the professor introduced by Heimerdinger lived.

After finding the right house number, Zell knocked on the door and said tentatively.

"Is the professor there? Professor Andrés von Yip?"

The door opened, and a thin middle-aged man poked his head out, looking at Zell with vigilant eyes, the top of his head was already bald like a Mediterranean sea.

Feeling that the other party seemed difficult to get along with, Zell began to explain the purpose of coming: "That's right, I have a question that Professor Heimerdinger can't answer, let me come to you."

"How can I know a question that Heimer can't answer?"

"It's about poro..."

"What is a Poro?"

"..."

Zell resisted the urge to turn around and walk away when a furry creature emerged from the door and rubbed against Zell's feet.

"This is..." Zell picked it up, it was a cute little white cat.

"Oh, Mauteka? You can't come out!"

Seeing Feng snatch the cat away and put it back in the room, Zell thought about it: "I remember that Deputy Dean Swarparit doesn't allow anyone to keep pets on campus."

Heimerdinger is often just a nominal dean, and the deputy dean is the real administrator of the university, with great power.

"No one will know if you don't tell me! Come in."

Glancing left and right, an annoyed Feng pulled Zell into the room, and then closed the door tightly.

Once inside, Zell saw a quirky machine occupying a large area of ​​the impossibly small laboratory-bedroom apartment.

There were gears and tools strewn about the floor, notes and hand-painted blueprints pasted on the mottled walls, and a white fluff covering everything like floating ash.

The academic atmosphere is very strong, but it is too unhygienic.

After looking at him, Feng turned around and asked him: "You are not a student, and all students wear school uniforms. Who are you and what do you do?"

The other party obviously wanted to find out what they could do, but Zell did not violate any rules, and there was no rule that graduates could not return to school.

He said frankly: "I am Zell Gilaman, a graduate of the previous sessions, and I am now the owner of a coffee shop."

"Wait! You said that you are from the Gilaman family and you still run a store, which means...you are rich! Right?" Feng couldn't hide his excitement.

Combined with his situation, Zell immediately understood the professor's needs.

"If the professor can answer my questions, I am willing to pay a fee."

"Just a salary is definitely not enough. What I need is funding. Do you know how difficult it is for scholars without family or individual funding to climb up the academic ladder?"

It goes without saying that research is expensive.

As smart as Jace was, he wouldn't be where he is today without Gilaman's sponsorship in the first place.

"It is gold that always shines, and Piltover will not bury talents."

"Hey, let's talk about your problem." Feng took out a piece of sweet cake from his breast pocket and fed it to the cat. Maojieka didn't eat it in his hands, but ate it on the ground.

Many cats have this habit because they eat slowly and don't want to be disturbed.If it was a dog or poro, it would be swallowed with a lick of the tongue, and Zell recently discovered that they don't chew much.

"Well, I have a poro of the same kind as the little furball that Professor Heimerdinger kept. But I don't know how to reproduce them. These little guys are different from ordinary creatures. They have no sex. , can’t match it in the normal way…”

"Unfortunately, I haven't raised Poro before, so I can't answer this question." Feng paused, then changed the topic: "But I can let them answer you personally."

"Ok?"

"Use this hex conversion machine." Professor Feng came to the machine behind him: "Theory of mind is a subject I have studied for more than ten years, and all my understanding of it has been integrated into this machine. As long as you and your The poro wears the device and sits on both sides of the machine, and I just flip the switch, and you can exchange your minds. In this way, you can understand each other's language and understand each other more deeply."

"Do not."

Zell couldn't accept the offer.

He just wanted to know when the poro would be able to split and reproduce, so he would have to swap bodies with the poro?He might as well split it for the Poro.Really cracked.

And his poro are all juveniles, even if he can talk to the poro, they probably don't know this knowledge.

What's more, it's too dangerous to exchange minds. What if you can't change them back or leave sequelae?
"I shouldn't have come!" Zell turned and left.

"Don't leave, you can get it back! I promise!"

Feng probably saw that Zell actually believed in the possibility of mind exchange, unlike other people who didn't even believe in it, so he tried his best to persuade him to stay.

"Given enough funds, I will prove that the mind is completely separated from the body! The brain is only a temporary residence for the mind! And the mind... can be easily exchanged between different bodies without losing any identity in the process Know."

"No, this is really contrary to the common sense of human ethics. Professor, you'd better give up this project." Zell said coldly: "If this project proves to be successful, then the human body will no longer belong to you, it's just power It’s just a skin bag prepared for eternal life.”

Zell slammed the door out, his words were like the last straw, crushing Feng's rationality.

"..."

He roared into the dimly lit room,
"Why does everyone say I'm crazy?"

"They say I'm annoying, a squib, a killjoy, and I'll never get a job! They say my inventions are nothing more than expensive paperweights!"

"unacceptable!"

Von Yip started the machine, three switches were flipped, and a low humming sound filled the entire laboratory.

He dragged out the trembling Maujeka from under the bed, hugged her and looked at her with a malicious smile.

"I've put up with it for far too long, silently enduring scorn, underappreciated ambition, and funding gaps for projects, all thanks to my so-called colleagues in Piltover University's engineering department."

"Can't wait...it's time to shut them up!"

Feng tied Mao Jieka to the seat with a belt, and the white cat kept cursing and barking in protest.

"Soon, just bear with it." He comforted softly, and then put on the metal helmet, which was covered with crystal objects. These crystals flickered at the same frequency, emitting a soft blue light.

He pulled down the joystick, felt his whole body tremble, his eyes rolled up, and Maujeka's wailing sounded in his ears.

Dazzling blue light came out of the window, and Zell, who had already walked out of the apartment, seemed to sense something. When he looked back suddenly, his eyes caught the unnatural light that flickered in Professor Feng's room.

"Damn it! I hate research lunatics!" He spread his legs and rushed into the apartment again.
