"Yes." Antonio briefly described the method of obtaining points.
There are currently two ways. The first is personal achievement.
Whenever members of the R&D Institute publish a recognized alchemy product, they will receive certain points. If they are willing to apply it widely in the name of the R&D Institute, they will be given more points.
The display boxes on the first to fiftieth floors of the R&D Institute are set up for this purpose.
The second method of obtaining points is simpler than the first, which is to accept tasks from the R&D Institute.
There are generally two types of tasks. The first is issued in the name of the R&D Institute, and the second is issued by members of the R&D Institute. The difference between these two tasks is that the tasks issued by the R&D Institute are bound to reward points, while members
The tasks and rewards posted are determined by the publisher himself.
After explaining, Antonio paused: "By the way, currently no member of the R&D Institute has issued tasks that reward points."
In other words, you can either take the first path of personal achievement, or take on tasks from the R&D institute.
Angel actually prefers the first method, but if you choose this method, not every alchemy product you publish will be recognized. In other words, if you take this path, it will take a long time to do research, and at the same time, it will take a long time to do research.
Need inspiration.
Angel thought for a moment and decided to use the first method as an alternative. After all, this is not something that can be done in the short term. Besides, this move can be made at any time. Let's see if there are other simpler methods first.
"Excluding the 10 points I gained as a special judge, Antonio, do you have any suggestions so that I can gain another 20 points as quickly as possible?" Angel asked.
Antonio almost didn't think about it and said directly: "There is a task. As long as you nod your head, you can get at least 100 points immediately."
Get 100 points immediately? Angel looked at Antonio expectantly.
Antonio: "Sit in the R&D Institute."
Being in charge of the R&D Institute is at least based on years, so as long as you nod, you will be given 100 points immediately. If you are willing to continue to be in charge, you will be given more and more points.
In fact, being in charge of the R&D Institute can also be understood as acting dean. As an acting dean, your power can be elevated to a very large level. It may seem very tempting, but the corresponding sacrifices will also be a lot. For example, what makes the members feel the most
What's annoying is that you have to waste a lot of meaningless time to deal with some very tedious things that you have to do personally.
All matters involving the R&D Institute's negotiations with other organizations, the work arrangements of the R&D Institute, the formulation of projects, the release of works and follow-up...etc., these are the responsibilities of the acting dean.
Unless they are people with a strong desire for power and a strong sense of responsibility, almost no one will take the initiative to take on this task.
Angel was a little confused: "I remember Midora once told me that if you want to be in charge of the R&D Institute, you need to conduct a basic assessment of the members. This assessment covers many aspects. He said that I will not be arranged to be in charge in a short time.
R&D institute?”
Precisely because this task will be evaluated in all aspects, it is absolutely impossible for an alchemist with an extreme personality like the "Grafting Crazy" Donla to be assigned to the research and development institute.
Antonio was silent for a moment: "After Mr. Pat was promoted to the official wizard, Dean Muse personally gave instructions and believed that you are qualified to take on this task. However, according to the rules of the R&D Institute, it is true that in the past few decades,
During this year, you will not be assigned the task of being in charge of the R&D institute."
"But if you want to take the initiative, you can."
"So, Mr. Pat, what's your answer?"
Angel shook his head without hesitation: "No."
He had a lot to do, and he didn't want to cause trouble.
"Besides sitting in the R&D institute? Are there no other tasks?" Angel asked.
Antonio thought for a moment: "There is another one. I think it may be more suitable for Mr. Pat."
Antonio slowly uttered one word: "Teaching."
In fact, sitting in the R&D Institute and teaching are both fixed tasks that members of the R&D Institute are basically exposed to. The former will only be done by members unless it is forced or rotated to them; as for the latter, many members are more willing to do it.
Happy to pick it up.
One of the reasons why the R&D Institute has become a holy place for alchemists is that there are alchemist masters who sit here and hold classes from time to time.
Moreover, when teaching, it is actually a kind of sorting out self-knowledge.
The most important thing is that the teaching time is also very free. Even if you only teach one class, you can stop it at any time if you don’t want to teach it anymore.
"How many points will a professor get for a class?" Angel asked.
"Points are calculated based on the effective duration, but based on the average score of all members teaching, generally one class can get at least 2-3 points, and those with higher scores can get more than 5 points."
Angel did the math himself. Although the teaching points were not many, he only needed 20 points, and the professor could reach the points in less than ten lessons.
This can be used as a reference.
After all, teaching is relatively free. And he doesn't plan to stay in the R&D Institute for a long time. It is naturally best if he can finish things in a short time.
In addition to teaching, Antonio also proposed several other ways to obtain points, which either restrict freedom or are not the expertise that Angel can handle.
Overall, teaching is more suitable.
Although Angel does not think that he has reached the level where he can teach, according to Antonio, members can draw up the courses they teach. So, he can give it a try and teach some parts that he is more proficient in.
Moreover, Midora had previously encouraged Angel to teach. While earning points, he could also be inspired by the questions raised by other alchemists on his own alchemy path.
"If sir, you decide to teach, you might as well consult other members about some of the issues. They will explain it more clearly than I can." After all, Antonio was only a spirit and had never really taught a class, so he told Ange like this
Er suggested.
Then, Angel chatted with Antonio about the special judging and said goodbye to him.
After leaving Fantasy Mechanical City, Angel's original plan was to go to Kihara Bar to check on Nausicaa, but since he had arrived at the opposite city of Sky Mechanical City and the Potion Shack was nearby, he could stop by.
Look at Midora.
It just so happened that Angel also wanted to ask Midora for advice on some issues regarding teaching.
…
When Angel arrived at the potion hut, the door opened by itself before he could knock on the door.
"Come in." Midora's voice reached Angel's ears.
The warm yellow lamp illuminates the small house full of life softly and warmly.
Angel walked in and immediately saw Midora standing by the kitchen stove, carefully observing the liquid in the pot.
At first, seeing how focused Midora was, Angel thought he was brewing some potion, but a strong fragrance full of mushrooms and sea fish came over him.
Looking carefully, it turns out that Midora is cooking a pot of mushroom and fish soup.
This scene: soft lighting, warm atmosphere, the aroma of strong soup, Midora’s concentrated expression, and her serious look in an apron...
Angel unconsciously thought that he was not visiting the home of a master alchemist, but an ordinary and warm family of three.
Angel was still in a somewhat impetuous mood at first, but because of this scene, he suddenly became quiet.
As the aroma in the air became stronger and stronger, not only Angel's long-dormant glutton began to make a noise, but even Toby, who was dozing in Angel's breast pocket, couldn't help but reveal his little head with a look on his face.
The greedy look.
Midora remained silent and just asked Angel to sit at the table. After a while, when the aroma became stronger, Midora put out the fire and brought a pot of thick soup to the table.
Seeing Toby's eager face, he smiled and took out a soup plate, scooped out a bowl for Toby, and specially placed a whole sea fish in the soup plate.
"Eat and try my handiwork."
Angel was a little embarrassed, and wanted Toby to restrain himself, but when Toby heard that he could eat it, his little face was buried in the soup for a long time.
Midora scooped out a bowl for Angel and signaled him to try it too.
Angel could only express his gratitude to Midora with a bit of embarrassment.
After a bowl of warm soup, the relaxed mood after entering the potion hut evolved again, and even made me feel a little lazy.
"Lord Midora, why are you cooking in person today? Isn't Lady Yeliya here?" Angel asked curiously.
"Don't call me sir, and don't use honorifics, Yelia. You have now been promoted to an official wizard, and you are also a member of the R&D Institute. We are considered equals." Midora took off her apron and said to Angel.
Angel thought for a while and changed the title of "Sir" to: "Master Midora."
Even though, as Midora said, they were considered equals, in Angel's heart, Midora always belonged to his elders.
Midora didn't bother with these titles and answered Angel's question: "You also know that Yelia dotes on Tuya very much. These days, Yelia has gone to watch the Rising Stars game with Tuya, and they live there.
If I don’t come back to the main city, I will have to cook by myself.”
Although Midora sighed and spoke with complaints, it could be seen that the relationship between Midora and Yeliya was very sincere.
"Tuya also likes to watch the Rising Stars game?"
"Yes, he says he can't live without Princess Shan all day long, and pesters Yeliya to take him to watch Princess Shan's games. If he is so concerned about other girls at a young age, he will definitely not learn well when he grows up."
Princess Shan is actually Shan from Savage Cave.
Angor had learned from Tuya before that Shan and he were actually from the same tribe. In their tribe, Shan was the daughter of the clan leader, so she was called princess as a suffix.
However, Shan left the tribe very early and went to practice in the barbaric caves. Tuya only saw Shan during the clan sacrifice a few years ago.
Perhaps because of that glance, Tuya, a little kid, missed Shan.
