Zheng Qing had long heard that Doctor Du Zemu was also recruited by Edge Academy.
However, he had never seen Doctor Du Zemu's figure in the temporary academy camp by the cliff, nor had he heard his students mention that Edge Academy had such an alchemy teacher.
Considering the small tasks he had to complete every day during this period and what Thomas had once said, Zheng Qing had reason to believe that Doctor Du Zemu should play a very important role in the mysterious project of Edge Academy.
And Lin Guo is now Doctor Du Zemu's assistant.
If an assistant's boss holds an important position in a project, it's natural for the assistant's status to rise accordingly. Just like Lin Guo, although due to his age, it's unlikely for him to be hired as a teaching assistant (had this happened, it would have caused a great uproar both inside and outside the school), but given his talent, becoming a research assistant is possible.
