Chapter 1295 The Flag Holder After October

the next day.

Xia Duo finally waited until Ross, who had gone through all the procedures and selected the laboratory, did not ask why the other party didn't come over last night. Today, the two sides are equal, and it is only natural for Ross to change.

"Roz, now that you have become an official researcher, I will ask you the previous question again today. Are you willing to become a collaborator of the McCard Lab?"

Xia Duo went straight to the point.

And Ross didn't hesitate at all, and immediately replied sincerely with Mulu: "I am willing! It is my honor to cooperate with Researcher McCard!"

"Very good, you made an extremely correct choice! You will never regret your choice today!"

Seeing that Ross still chose to cooperate with the McCard Lab after he became a formal researcher, Xia Duo was very happy, and this was also the most genuine emotion in his heart at the moment.

There are a total of [-] research assistants in the McCard Lab. Now Huck and Rhodes have been successfully promoted, and they also agreed to continue to cooperate with the McCard Lab.

Others, more or less, will also be influenced by them. They may have used this place as a springboard for promotion to be willing to cooperate.

Now Xia Duo's situation in the research institute is very delicate. If he is just a loner, he can easily be manipulated by those official researchers who suppress the promotion of his subordinates.

The so-called "public anger is hard to offend", even Vice President Samuel couldn't stand up to everyone's opposition and insist on supporting him.

But the so-called "public anger is hard to offend" actually refers to those "vampire" researchers. It's just that no one has resisted in the past, which makes them coerce everyone and create an invincible and irresistible momentum.

Once there are spoilers and rebels, and as there are more and more rebels, when the unspoken rules are broken, they will immediately be weak.

In the end, they just took advantage of the loopholes in the rules, and the upper class of the imperial survivors is not corrupt. Once the upper class waits for the right opportunity, they will definitely not let this group of malignant tumors go!

And Xia Duo, in a sense, is the existence of a bug that artificially facilitated this opportunity.

If you were another Imperial researcher, you probably wouldn’t be the first to stand up and sing the opposite, and it’s more likely that you’ll fully integrate into this system of unspoken rules.

If things go on like this, the base branch of the Judgment Division of the Research Institute will be completely rotten.

……

After finalizing the basic cooperation framework with Rhodes, the next step is to discuss specific cooperation projects.

"I intend to hand over the body repair related projects to you. The research institute has accumulated a lot in this area, and it is suitable for you to open up the situation. What do you think?"

Although Xia Duo believed that Ross would most likely not refuse his request, out of long-term considerations of win-win cooperation, he still gave Ross the opportunity to fully express and even refuse.

It's just that Ross didn't refuse, and didn't put forward other conditions. Instead, he agreed and said, "I trust your judgment, and I will complete this project well."

Next, the two also quickly reached an agreement on the points that need to be paid for the project commission and the specific indicators for the completion of the project.

After the agreement is signed, the laboratories of the two parties officially become cooperative units.

……

In the following days, Xia Duo spent almost every day in anticipation and joy. After Huck and Rhodes, two assistant researchers were successfully promoted one after another, and agreed to choose to join his laboratory cooperation system.

Every time one more research assistant is promoted, it means that Xia Duo has three more assistants, how could he be unhappy.

The only regret is that after him, there are also researchers in the research institute who do not suppress the promotion of subordinates, which makes it more difficult for his cooperative laboratory to recruit people.

Fortunately, there are quite a few high-level mages in the research institute, but these assistant researchers found later do not have their own projects like the first batch, and they can advance to arcanists at any time. Once they meet the project evaluation conditions for promotion, Immediately advance and gain access to new labs.

This caused Xia Duo's laboratory joint system to quickly fall into the bottleneck of expansion, and there was no way to let it expand rapidly in a short period of time.

But as time passed, Xia Duo eventually had more than 20 collaborative laboratories, which far exceeded his initial expectations.

This means - now under his command, a total of (20*4+3)=83 high-level mages are working for him.

If you wait until the graduation season of the Base Academy next year, the skyrocketing number of laboratories will still make the number of admitted graduates skyrocket compared to previous years!
At that time, there will be at least 252 mid-level and low-level mages joining his work. Although these people are actually here as apprentices, there are so many free spell batteries, so there is no need to use them for nothing.

It's good to teach while doing, teaching while working, and studying while working!
Of course, by that time, perhaps the number of cooperative laboratories will continue to increase with a high probability, and there will be even more people by then.

……

Imperial Calendar 1103, May.

This is already the tenth month that Xia Duo has entered the projection plane. Except for wandering outside for a few days in the first few days, after he joined the research institute later, he has never gone out again.

This period of time almost broke the record for the longest time he stayed in the same place so far!
Even in the main plane of the Tower of Time, he would go out from time to time, but here, in the past ten months, he would go to the fifth-floor academy square except when Elise came to visit occasionally. Almost staying near the energy center on the negative third floor.

After Huck, Rhodes and others chose the laboratory near the energy center, other formal researchers who go out from the McCard Laboratory or other cooperative laboratories, as long as they choose to cooperate with Xiaduo, they will all Their own laboratory was chosen near the Energy Center.

For this reason, Vice President Samuel of the research institute specially arranged for assistants to come forward to persuade several "obstructive" laboratories away, and on the other hand, the cooperative laboratories on Xia Duo's side were connected together.

In the past ten months, Xia Duo had almost given up on his own research and devoted himself to various projects. His daily task was to inspect various project teams in various laboratories.

Or check the progress of the project, or exchange a few words casually, and more to solve some problems encountered in the process of the project.

During this period, although Xia Duo has not advanced to the level of Arcanist, no one will doubt that he cannot be advanced.

Everyone, including Deputy Dean Samuel, will be full of respect for the "McAd Researcher" after learning the list of projects submitted and completed by the McAd Laboratory System in the past ten months!
If there is no accident, "McCard" will become the existence of the fastest promotion to level 2 researcher in the base branch of the Judgment Division of the Research Institute!
Also the youngest Level 2 researcher.

This is the real reason why Associate Dean Samuel will also give respect!

Without him, it's just that he has made a lot of contributions in the research institute system!
