"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."
It's in the projection plane anyway, so Xia Duo doesn't care about offending anyone, as long as it's not too exaggerated.
Generally, the standard for a first-level researcher is three assistant researchers. If you have one more, others will have one less. Xia Duo is not sure yet where the bottom line of tolerance is, but he expects that it won't 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, "These three are Huck, Jellal, and Maddie. 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 that, 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 McArdle, 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, you will not regret joining my laboratory!"
"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 had applied for the McCard Laboratory. Xia Duo naturally responded without hesitation in agreeing.
…
After confirming that he had three helpers, Sha Duo decisively asked Rhodes to take the "Localization Transformation and Mass Production Design of a Special Psychic Talisman" project document he had compiled to the management center to apply for project approval.
Of course, it is possible to assign tasks to assistant researchers without establishing a project, but then they will not receive support from the institute, and any consumption incurred during the research period will have to be paid for by Chateau himself.
Also, the three Hackers 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". It doesn't necessarily matter who has higher profits!
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, what he is doing is 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, it would be okay even if he gave up all his benefits. Anyway, everything in this projection plane would be in vain when he returns to the main plane, except for 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. Shado 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 applied for by the researcher 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 you."
"Don't worry, let's work on this special spiritual amulet 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, Huck and the other three quickly got into the zone, while Sha Duo used the excuse of studying the Arcane Fire Secret Scroll, but actually sorted out and analyzed the echo feedback data from the mithril veins in his mind.
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 previously learned in [The Birth of Cormanthor in the Projection Plane].
These two projection planes, the high mages who initially injected knowledge and experience into the "Sword of Dominion" are not exactly the same.
This made Xia Duo even more happy. Now he could not only obtain 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 risk 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 then more and more people contacted me, and I was a little bit confused.
Worry--"
"What are you worried about? Are you worried that the laboratory can't accommodate those people?" Xia 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 authorities will not intervene, at least not yet."
