It's not that difficult to open a hospital in another world, right?

Gretel looked directly at the old magician, trying hard to impress him with his sincere eyes and get him to give him a good score. It doesn’t take much, just add 15 points!

By adding up to 70 points, everyone will be able to pass the test collectively, and next year’s research funding will be guaranteed!

The old magician has seen this kind of look in his eyes during many years of touring various places.

If the other party is an official mage and understands the Magic Council's review rules, he will give points directly.

However, the other party was a newcomer, and a fairly qualified newcomer. With a red heart in mind to attract talents for the council, the old magician decided to explain a few more words:

"Concerning the scoring of magic innovation, the parliament has a set of fixed standards, and I can't just give it as many points as I want. - Come on, let's see how many points your paper is worth!"

He raised his hand and waved, and a colorful light shot on the wall. Grete looked up and saw the writing on the wall was winding and the tables were organized, clearly stating the scoring criteria for magic innovation.

The table has neat lines and neat layout. At first glance, it looks like a projector is turned on to project the contents of the computer onto the screen——

Of course, Gretel has gained a certain understanding of magic in the past few months since he traveled through time. He recognized that this was not a projection, but was written manually using magic tricks. He really couldn't help but be convinced by this fine control.

Looking at the content on the wall again, Grete's vision went dark, and he felt as if he had been hit on the forehead again.

Magic Innovation Scoring Formula:

10*Magic Level*Novelty*Creativity*Practicality

What the hell is this!

The three major criteria of novelty, creativity, and practicality are exactly the same as the topic review for their papers!

That time-traveling senior is engaged in patents, right...

No, he should be a liberal arts student who also has some HR functions. A patent attorney must have a degree in science and engineering. Therefore, that senior should not be engaged in patents himself, but his daily work involves related content?

Well, to sum up, the time-traveling senior may be from the scientific research office of a liberal arts college, and he is responsible for reviewing teaching and research projects on a daily basis... I guess...

Gretel was complaining crazily in his heart, his eyes slightly lowered, and he looked at the table below the formula. There is nothing to say about the magic level. Level 1 magic is multiplied by 1, level 2 magic is multiplied by 2, and so on;

Novelty, multiply by 1 if it has novelty, multiply by 0 if it does not have novelty, which is a direct negation;

As for creativity and practicality, Gretel looked at the table and searched column by column to estimate how many points he could get:

In terms of creativity, creating new magic: 10 points, not mine;

Increase magic strength: 5~9 points, this is not mine;

Reduce the quantity, price or scarcity of consumables: 2-7 points, which does not apply to me either;

Exploring new ways to use it – ah, that’s my situation! What, only 1~2 points? So low?

However, arguing with the system serves no purpose. Gretel pursed his lips and looked at the practical formula again. At this sight, another desire to complain rose up in his chest, making him want to spit it out on the spot.

Practicality score: (1+N*1), N= (very practical, 7~9; fair practicality: 4~6; slightly practical: 1~3; no practicality: 0)

Only a time traveler can write this magical formula, and only a magician can master it! If I change it to someone who is slightly worse at mathematics, I will die directly for you to see!

As for my own score...

Gretel thought of the old magician's words, "That's useless" and had a bad feeling. Sure enough, the old magician had already smiled and said:

"Your new method is not useless at all. However, high-level magicians rarely break bones. Even if they do, it is very difficult to find magic items that are five levels higher than themselves. Commoners and mage apprentices, The possibility of accessing magic items above level 5 is very slim.

Therefore, I can only judge the practicality of this innovation for you as——"

With another wave of his hand, a red light ticked the "Not Practical" column.

"But your Excellency!" Grete argued hurriedly. "This magic is still very useful in treatment! And it is an irreplaceable role for existing healing techniques! As for its price-"

Isn’t it just expensive?

Isn’t it just that magic items are more expensive?

Build a hospital!

For all patients!

CT machines, MRI machines, and even X-ray machines were not expensive when they were first invented! An NMR costs tens of millions, and the hospital has half a year’s surplus funds!

Why don’t you just bite the bullet and buy it? As long as the treatment volume is large enough, the cost can be spread evenly to the point where every patient can afford it. There is something more important than life!

Besides, magic items are not instruments, so there will be no depreciation if left there!

Gretel wanted to continue arguing. The old magician had waved his hand and silenced him neatly:

"Needless to say, the Magic Council will not agree to something that requires huge investment and is useless to high-level mages. Even if I give it a high score, I still have to reject it. Why bother?"

Grete tried his best to glare at him, but was unable to make any sound. The old magician smiled and continued:

"So you see, the scores are out. The basic score is 10 points; the magic tricks are zero-level magic, and according to the convention, multiply by 0.5; for creativity, I will give you a higher calculation, multiply by 2; for practicality, you can only multiply 1. 10*0.5*2*1, final score, 10 points.”

"well……"

There were sighs everywhere in the mage tower. Master Gehrman and the two low-level mages Elliot and Karan were all disappointed and helpless. I want to argue, but I really can't bear to face this: I have already praised the achievements of the mage apprentice, and I still want to lose some points. How can I be embarrassed?

"Magic innovation, 65 points. The final total score..." The old magician simply waved his hand and projected the entire table. The items, weights, and scores for each item were listed in the same way. Finally, he gave the result impartially. Fraction:

"78.55 points."

Not even 80.

Level D, the host’s salary will be deducted, and the entire mage tower’s resources will be deducted.

Next year will be difficult...

A gloomy mist rolled over the mage tower. After the old magician finished giving his conclusion, he changed his face again and comforted everyone present with a smile:

"It's okay, don't worry too much. The council also deducts resources based on points. You are only a few points away from the passing line, so you won't have too many resources deducted. As for what you're worried about, whether you can replace someone well next year or something like that -"

He turned to his disciples and said, "I see that in the Magistrate's Tower, several people are on the verge of breaking through. We will work harder next year. As long as one or two people level up, their scores will go up immediately, right?"

Master Gehrman nodded sadly. The old magician dug into his pocket, took out a gem-like thing, and waved to Gretel:

"Come on, come on, I'll give this to you. Gehrman is my disciple, and after all, you can be considered as part of our lineage. A little greeting gift, let's play with it——"
