Smelian' eyes dimmed slightly, but he quickly recovered and said,
"Then I don't need you to work here full-time. You can work as a part-time researcher."
Hearing that, Mu Ning waved her hand dismissively.
"No need."
She paused before adding,
"Unless it's work-from-home and only requires a few minutes of my time, I won't accept the offer."
The surrounding researchers were rendered speechless.
A position at their institute was something countless researchers dreamed of obtaining.
Yet Mu Ning was rejecting it as if it were an inconvenience.
Martha, who had been listening the entire time, could no longer hold herself back.
"How can you expect such a godlike offer?"
She pointed at Mu Ning.
"Have you even looked at yourself? You're just a researcher who got lucky and happened to identify the Mutated Corpse Poison. Otherwise, you'd be just as clueless as everyone else."
A sneer appeared on her face.
"Or maybe this is all just a trick. Maybe the poison wasn't cured at all."
