Arcane Lord

"Anyone who is an assistant researcher under Researcher Reese is willing to come. If anyone from other researchers wants to come to us, I will give you ten places."

Since he was in the projection plane anyway, Xia Duo didn't care about offending anyone, as long as he didn't be too exaggerated.

Generally, the standard number of level 1 researchers is three assistant researchers. If you have one more, others will have one less. Xia Duo is not sure where the bottom line of tolerance is, but he expects that it will not be a problem to accept more than a dozen of them.

…

That night, Rhodes went to contact the assistant researcher who wanted to change jobs overnight. When Sha Duo walked out of the lounge the next day, in addition to Rhodes, there were three new people in the laboratory.

"Sir, let me ask you to introduce——"

Without waiting for Xia Duo to ask, Rhodes took a step forward and explained first, "These three are Huck, Jellal, and Maddie. Among them, Huck and Jellal were both researchers at Reese, and Maddie was a researcher at Dell. Those over there are willing to join our laboratory after hearing the news.”

Ross said so, but the attitudes of the three Hackers were not very sure. Instead, they asked the question they were most concerned about in front of Sha Duo:

"Researcher McCard, we have been assistant researchers for a long time. To be honest, we have accumulated a lot of level 1 projects, enough for us to be promoted. If you can really do what Rhodes said and not hold back in project evaluation, Then we are all willing to join the laboratory.”

To this, Chateau once again gave an affirmative answer and said:

"I know that no matter how much I guarantee, I can't make you absolutely believe it, but do you have any other choice? What you need to do now is to take the first step of trust. I believe time will prove everything."

The three of them exchanged looks with each other, and finally nodded slowly, but Hack also made it clear, "We can still waste time on just a few projects, but the anger of the three arcanists, I think Macca No researcher would want to try it.”

"Don't worry, you three, join my laboratory, you won't regret it!"

"That's good, let's join!"

After saying that, the three of them left first. Soon after, Xia Duo received a message from the Institute Management Center that Hacker and the others applied for the McCard Laboratory. Xia Duo naturally responded without hesitation.

…

After confirming that he had three helpers, Sha Duo decisively asked Rhodes to bring the "Localization Transformation and Mass Production Design of a Special Psychic Amulet" project book he had compiled to the management center to apply for project approval.

Of course, if the project is not established, assistant researchers can be assigned tasks, but then they will not receive support from the institute. Any consumption incurred during the research period will have to be paid for by Sha Duo himself.

Also, the three Hucks have just joined the laboratory. If they are immediately assigned private work outside the project and let them work in vain, they will probably regret it immediately and change jobs again.

Trust is cultivated step by step, and Xia Duo does not mind taking the lead in showing sincerity and making certain concessions in the process, thereby breaking the zero-sum game and achieving a win-win situation for all parties.

This is also a bit similar to the feeling of "small profits but quick turnover" and "luxury goods". Whoever has higher profits doesn't necessarily know!

A high profit margin does not mean a high total profit!

The short-term benefits of win-win cooperation may not be as good as those of eating alone, but in the long run, they have greater development potential and can bring more benefits.

As for Xia Duo now, he is doing a completely costless business. He doesn't care at all how much others can profit from it. He only cares about whether his own requirements can be completed in the shortest time and most efficiently!

For this reason, even if he had to give up all his benefits, it would be no problem. Anyway, everything in this projection plane would be in vain when he returned to the main plane, except knowledge.

…

It is not difficult to apply for project approval in the institute, especially when newcomers are just starting out. As long as they meet the minimum level 1 standard, they will not be rejected at all.

The follow-up will be different. The above will make judgments based on the completion of previous projects in the laboratory. If previous projects have been unfinished one after another, the result can be imagined, and rejection should become the norm.

If you want to reverse this, you will probably have to work several times harder than other researchers.

Soon, Rhodes returned to the laboratory with the project application notice and the three of them. Sha Duo took a look at the project application notice. Like the project that Rhodes had brought before, there were no additional requirements.

This is completely a benefit for newcomers. Generally, after passing the novice period, even if the project a researcher applies for is approved, there will be some additional requirements.

For example, spell development projects will require spell casting difficulty; magic item manufacturing projects will require process accuracy, quantity of materials, and sometimes mass production design requirements.

Xia Duo currently has no additional requirements for these two projects, which means that these two projects are completely free resources for him from above - even if they are wasted.

"Huck, if you have any projects, you can give me a look first. As long as they meet the project approval standards, I won't stop them."

"Don't worry, let's work on this special spiritual talisman project first!" Huck naturally refused.

Xia Duo didn't care about this and refused just right. If you want to know my sincerity, then hurry up and complete the demon-slaying amulet project!

You’ll know then!

…

Now that the laboratory is on track, the three of Hacker quickly entered the state, while Sha Duo used the excuse of studying the Arcane Fire Secret Scroll, but in fact, he was sorting and analyzing the echo feedback data of the mithril veins in his consciousness.

When he is tired from work, he will also read the new content in [Sword of Dominion] as a refreshment.

Although the Sword of Domination is sealed, the wisdom gem on it is relatively independent and does not affect Xia Duo's use.

There is a lot of information filled in by the crowned king of Ilisel for more than a thousand years, and even the original information in the wisdom gem is different from what Shado learned before in [The Birth of Cormanthor in the Projection Plane].

These two projection planes, the high mage who initially injected knowledge and experience into the [Sword of Dominion] are not completely consistent.

This makes Xia Duo even more happy. Now he can not only get relevant information about the crowned king of Ilisel, but also gain the lifelong knowledge and experience of several high-ranking mages.

It was really not worth it for him to take the risk of escaping from the projection plane and failing in his trip to summon the Sword of Domination!

…

After dinner that evening, Rhodes came to report again, "Sir, I contacted many assistant researchers during the day, and they were all very interested in our laboratory. But later on, more and more people contacted me, and I was a little confused. Worry--"

"What are you worried about? Are you worried that the laboratory can't accommodate those people?" Sha Duo asked.

"no."

A trace of anxiety flashed in Ross's eyes, "Sir, I'm worried that doing this will arouse public anger, and the higher-ups may also intervene."

"No, the higher ups will not intervene, at least not yet."

Sha Duo said with certainty.
