[BL] Heroic Death System (PART 1)

Chapter 97: Covenantor (XX)

After the first set of samples had been analyzed, the researchers would frequently pester Shang Ke for even more samples. Shang Ke analyzed the samples before, but he was shocked to find out that these researchers used way more than he did. Thus, he was stern in expressing that the samples should be used more conservatively and that there wouldn't be any more stock of the samples.

Shang Ke eventually divided the sample in three separate portions for them. He also requested to see their analyses of the samples.

The researchers had no choice but to leave in a furor. Shang Ke finally felt more peaceful as there weren't any more distractions and only reports of the sample analyses were sent here and there. After that, he had to make ingredients, calculate the proportions, blend them together and repeatedly experiment with them. This was a long and tedious process.

Shang Ke was meticulous and serious with his work. Through their interactions, Shang Ke finally received approval from the researchers. Thus, he formally became a part of their research group.

Lu Xiufan felt worried that Shang Ke would feel depressed being in a residence so far from the city. However, he was actually the one getting depressed. Shang Ke used to run towards him to greet him whenever he returned. Now, he was stuck seeing that old butler's wrinkled face as well as a silent, cold house.

Liu Xiufan looked at Shang Ke. Shang Ke was currently having a heated discussion about the experimental results with the other researchers. He thought to himself, 'Didn't he say that they didn't get along? How did they start getting along within the few days that he was gone?' Shang Ke was even allowed to enter the laboratory that was viewed as a forbidden area to outsiders.

"Sir, you're back." A middle-aged researcher was the first to notice Lu Xiufan and he got up to greet him.

Another researcher who was next to him said, "Sir, are you here for Little Ze? We have finished our part of the work, so you can have Little Ze."

Lu Xiufan was reminded of two days prior where this man was vehemently against him bringing in an outsider.

"Working hours are not over yet." Shang Ke quipped.

After he finished talking, the others gave him sympathetic looks. 'This child seemed to forget about this man once he started working. How is this acceptable? Hurry up and comfort him. It would be best if you could lock him up in the room and roll around with him for another three days and three nights.'

Shang Ke's work ethics drastically improved his image in the eyes of the researchers. In the past, they assumed he was nothing but Lu Xiufan's bed partner. Now, they felt like they were a perfect match.

"Who said work hours are not over?" The elderly researcher pressed a few buttons on the virtual clock which caused time to jump forward by thirty minutes which was a minute over the scheduled rest time.

Shang Ke thought, '....Is it really okay to do something like that in front of your boss?'

Lu Xiufan thought, 'Having a flexible mindset makes you worthy of being an expert.'

Lu Xiufan had an expression of admiration on his face for that researcher. He took Shang Ke with him and left the laboratory.

After they left, the researchers gathered together and each guessed how many days the two would stay in the room. They also let out wretched laughter occasionally.... It had to be pointed out that once these researchers got into their gossiping spirits, they were no different from the aunties on the street.

Lu Xiufan also lived up to their expectations and lovingly tangled up with Shang Ke for four days, breaking their previous record of three days.

In the early morning, some researchers got out of bed to exercise. When they opened the window, they were attracted by the beautiful scenery outside.
