I participated in the development of EVA

Did I install it wrong? There shouldn't be any... No! If there wasn't any, why would this doctor always stand behind me and watch me? ? ?

The graduate student guiltily looked through the documents in his hand and compared them carefully, but could not find any assembly errors.

...Is that right?

"Um... Dr. Wen Yan, did I assemble it wrong?"

Ikari Fumihiko didn't say anything, but his eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the stack of documents in the graduate student's hand.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about something."

The graduate student breathed a sigh of relief.

Big Brother——

Next time when you are thinking about something, can you please not stand behind others? You will really scare the graduate students to death if you do that.

Although I really want to say this, when I think about the other party's identity, I choose to keep working.

Feeling the graduate student's panic, he finally realized that he was scaring himself before. No... To be more precise, he did not fit into his current identity. The director of the R&D department is his cousin.

With my identity and background, I can do whatever I want to slack off!

Who dares to say anything——

Oh haha!

"Don't be lazy, get to work, don't look at others, I'm talking about you..."

The person who spoke was naturally Professor Ishida, the real boss of the team.

isn't it...

So angry?

All future research results depend on this big guy, so Fumihiko Ikari will naturally not challenge his authority.

"Uh... ok."

I picked up the file that the graduate student had put down earlier. I originally just wanted to pretend to look up some information, but I was surprised to find that I could actually understand the content.

Wait! No, this knowledge is obviously beyond my scope!

There is no way I can understand this kind of material filled with so many professional terms, right? Could it be that... the knowledge that the original owner once mastered is still retained in his brain? ?

The original owner’s memory was not cleared?

But I can't read it freely like I can control my own body? Is the soul and body not compatible?

I don’t understand——

But I still breathed a sigh of relief, and my heavy mood became more settled.

At the same time I couldn't help but think.

I remember that in the original novel, when the protagonist was about four or five years old, he witnessed his mother disappearing during the Unit-01 startup experiment. Now the protagonist is almost one year old, which means that in the next three years or so, EVA will have completed the development of the Test Unit-0 and Unit-01. No way... EVA, a magical creation, was successfully developed in about three years? ?

This is really a bit outrageous, no, it’s a bit magical——

Looking at the graduate students working hard next to me, an idea came to my mind.

"Do you usually play games?"

Since you can't connect to the Internet, find some games that allow you to play online with others using a local area network.

After all, this is another world, and he doesn't know what games there are in this world.

The research institute had no idea what Fumihiko Ikari was trying to do and could only respond according to the actual situation with a nervous mood.

“I play it occasionally.”

"Is there any game on the computer that can be played online? Send me a copy so we can play after get off work."

The research institute was visibly stunned.

isn't it?

Dr. Wen Yan, this super academic master also plays computer games?

"I've only played some card games, and I haven't played much computer games. Uh... Akagi plays more in the team, so you can go ask him."

When they joined the team just now and introduced themselves to each other, only he and Professor Ishida got to know each other, and the dozen or so graduate students had no say at all.

"Please help me call Sakuragi over."

"okay."

After a while, the graduate student came over with a woman wearing glasses who looked very gentle.

"Dr. Wen Yan, you're looking for me?"

"Well, I heard you usually play video games?"

Graduate student Sakuragi thought to himself that this was not good.

The world has already ended, so why are there still mentors who love to point fingers at other people's preferences?

Ugh--

I'm going to be nagged again.

In fact, she could avoid being scolded by simply denying it, but she didn't like to do that.

Isn't it just a scolding?

It just goes in one ear and out the other.

"Correct."

"Is there any game that can be played online via LAN? Copy it for me so we can play it together when we have time."

Sakuragi obviously didn't expect that Ikari Fumihiko, a legendary genius doctor in his field, would look for him just to play games together.

"Games have built-in levels of theft protection, and I don't know how to do that."

What kind of problem is this?

Just find someone who understands programming and the problem can be solved.

I was about to ask if there were any programmers in the other team, but then I realized it.

Bioengineering is a general term.

It is divided into many branches, including bioelectronic engineering.

"Go and do your work first."

"Ah."

He glanced at Professor Ishida, who was busy working and not paying attention to them, and immediately walked into the office to find the team list.

The first name is——

Ishida Rain.

PhD in Bioengineering and Neuroscience.

Then came his name.

Fumihiko Ikari.

PhD in Bioengineering.

This thing has little to do with computer science, right? It shouldn't be able to crack games, right?

Uh--

never mind!

To be on the safe side, let's put the idea of ​​copying the game aside for now.

After reading the information, I had a certain understanding of my job content and thought it was enough to be a slacker, so I put my mind into the work.

This working time is too long...

Why haven’t you gotten off work yet?

I started working at 7 o'clock in the morning, and it's almost 10 o'clock now, and there is no sign of leaving get off work.

You are too exploitative... Every capitalist should have a tattoo of you on their body!

Ishida Rain.

Thinking of this, he looked around and found that other people did not react at all and continued to work silently. This made him feel that he was the only one in the entire team who was eager to get off work.

Are all of them the King of Rolls! ?

Uh--

There seems to be a deep-rooted overtime culture in Japan.

There is all sorts of information on the Internet, and he has seen information about the overtime culture in Japan.

In Japan, if an employee does not take the initiative to work overtime after 9 o'clock in the evening, it means that he or she does not work hard.

Mudd!

Psychopath——

It's not that he can't endure hardship to work more than ten hours a day. After all, when he lived in the countryside before traveling through time, he did a job that relied on piecework to earn wages. Most of the time he had to work more than thirteen hours. Due to his low level of education, he had no choice but to make money to support his family in this way. Now that he has traveled through time... he has no worries around him, so naturally he doesn't want to live such a hard life anymore.

After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and went to Ishida Yu.

"Professor Ishida, it's already 10 o'clock in the evening. Everyone has been working intensively for more than ten hours. Shouldn't we let them go back and rest?!"

Ishida Ame didn't even look up at Ikari Fumihiko, and spoke directly.

"Go and rest if you are tired. You can arrange the work system and don't disturb me."

It was the first time that Ikari Fumihiko held such great power, and he stood there hesitating for a moment.

I really want to work from 10 am to 5 pm, with an hour break at noon.

But in the end he didn't dare to make such an arrangement. After all, even with the help of the original owner's hidden memories, he was still a fake.

"Then 9 am to 8 pm, with an hour's break at noon and in the evening?"

Ishida Ame, who was fully devoted to his work, didn't care about these things at all. He just waved his hand to signal Ikari Fumihiko not to disturb his work.

"From now on, come to work before 9 am and leave at 8 pm, and take a one-hour break at noon and in the evening.

Now everyone can go home from get off work.”

After a voice announcement, he thought everyone would go home and rest after hearing the announcement. However, no one who heard the broadcast was in a hurry to leave. They just stood there and observed the movements of others. Seeing this scene, he understood that these people did not want to go back and rest, but were afraid that they would be labeled as not working hard if they left first.

Ugh!

It's really twisted--

In such an atmosphere, he was a little afraid to be the first to leave work, but he also knew in his heart that these people dared not leave work until their leader had left.

After hesitating for a moment, he walked out of the laboratory.

With the leader taking the lead, the others dared to pack up and leave work.

Although I had been slacking off all day, I had actually worked for nearly ten hours and still felt physically and mentally exhausted. I had no intention of playing games at all. I returned to the dormitory, washed up simply, and lay directly on the bed, secretly complaining to myself, I have traveled through time and space to become an elite class, why is life still so tiring?

After complaining for a while, I fell asleep without realizing it.

I woke up the next day. No! To be more precise, I was forcibly awakened when I was half asleep.

Why don't you go so far?

The long working hours are fine, but they don't allow people to rest properly.

Looking at Ikari Gendo’s solemn expression, he could only suppress the resentment in his heart.

"What's wrong? What happened? Did they detect an earthquake?"

"Professor Ishida, the leader of your project team, is dead."

Ishida Yu is dead!

???

Ikari Fumihiko didn't react at first, after all, they were strangers he had only recently met. It was only after a while that he was shocked by the information hidden behind the news and woke up from all sleepiness.

Damn it——
