Chapter 1288: Hack promotion, apprentice arrival

In this regard, Rhodes continued to remain silent. He lowered his head and his eyes turned straight. He was not sure if "Mccard" was testing him, or if he was really just asking in advance by accident.
But how to answer, Rhodes hesitated. It was related to his future and destiny. It is not difficult for a spellcaster to make a choice whether to repent or not.
It's just that Rhodes doesn't want to do that. Since getting along during this time, he has been convinced by the knowledge and tolerance of McCard, the so-called "newcomer", and he is unwilling to say perfunctory or even deceptive words.
After thinking about it, Rhodes finally followed his heart's truest choice, "My lord, I need to seriously consider this matter, but there is one thing I can guarantee that I will never be an enemy of adults."
"Yes, after you finish the promotion, tell me your choice!"
Xia Duo did not force the opponent to make a choice on the spot. In fact, Rhodes's answer seemed to him to be very sincere. If he changed to a villain, he might have promised well now, and he might turn his face immediately afterwards.
Furthermore, what he needs is a cooperator who is willing to cooperate sincerely and actively, not a passive coercion forced by the situation.
If Rhodes is unwilling, he really won't take the other party anyway, but he will be a little disappointed.
At present, the 14 assistant researchers in the laboratory, with ordinary people's consent, Xia Duo would wake up with a smile when she slept, because that meant that at least twenty-eight high-level mages would follow his arrangements and conduct the research he specified.
Of course, the more people who agree, the better it is for him.
Ideally, there can be up to 14(1+3)+3=59 high-level mages who conduct various research under his arrangement.
This is simply so cool!
It is foreseeable that once he leaves this projection plane, Xia Duo will not have such good research conditions for a long time in the future.
…
Time flies.
Two days later, Huck successfully advanced to the Arcanist level. Combined with his experience of at least three "good" evaluation projects, his application for promotion to the level of researcher level 1 was quickly approved by the above.
The Hack Lab was established!
On the same day, Xia Duo proposed to Hack Lab an outsourcing plan for the "Improvement and Expansion of the Transmission Spell Response Mechanism Based on the Fluctuation Positioning of the Magic Net Background" project, which Huck readily accepted.
At the same time, Xia Duo's own preparations for the trial production of the spell chip were all ready.
Only on this day, after reaching an outsourcing agreement with Hack Labs, Chardonnay suddenly received a notice from the management center that there were a group of new apprentices that needed to be accepted by McCard Labs.
The so-called apprentices, in fact, they are all official mages.
Most of the low-level wizards, a few are already middle-level wizards, and they are upgraded one by one in a similar way to the Tower of Time Ascending Ring Trial, and they are not just spellcasters who only understand the individual spells of the relevant ring level.
Each laboratory of the research institute will be assigned a certain number of apprentices. If one of them can become a high-level mage or arcanist, the researcher will be rewarded with corresponding points.
These apprentices have already been screened at the academy stage, and being able to enter the academy shows that they are all outstanding among their peers.
Assigned to various laboratories, in addition to serving as a de facto magic battery, sometimes they also put forward constructive opinions on the laboratory's projects.
It can be said that there is almost no laboratory that does not welcome apprentices. Of course, assistant researchers may not welcome them, because it will take up too much time for them to instruct apprentices, and they will not receive fair compensation from formal researchers.
But here in Chateau, he did not welcome the arrival of apprentices.
The project he arranged for everyone in the laboratory now, even for a high-level mage, would be more difficult to complete, not to mention the additional conditions above, and it would not be easy to complete.
If it were not for him to follow up the progress of the project and always give pointers, he really doubted that one of these projects would eventually be broken.
When the apprentice came, the assistant researcher would be distracted and wasted their precious time. For Xia Duo, it was very difficult to accept.
Perhaps these apprentices may be helpful to the project, but the possibility is unlikely. If they are simply used as a spell battery, they will not be able to make up for the loss they bring.
Xia Duo doubted whether some level 1 researchers who opposed him were doing something, because the calculation time was not yet when he graduated from the Magic Academy.
The most obvious evidence is that it is also a newly established laboratory, and there is no apprenticeship assigned to the Hack Lab.
Only Xia Duo has been arranged. It is difficult to prevent him from making associations. If he does not graduate and enroll in advance, will those apprentices appear?
He also had some doubts about the quality of the apprentice. In case he was given some crooked melons again, resulting in a low proportion of high-level mages that eventually appeared, this would be another troublesome thing.
But Xia Duo couldn't say anything against it, because these systems were reasonable and more in line with the overall interests of the remnants of the empire. They were supported by everyone, and he would not be allowed to oppose them.
At the same time, Xia Duo himself could not find a reason to oppose it. Is it to say that he was worried that the apprentice would affect the progress of the laboratory's project?
Others also have an influence, why don't others say?
This will make his situation more difficult, and maybe some people will have to review his rank and authority again.
"Why is it so difficult for me!"
After the defamation, Chateau could only ask the Rhodes Management Center to bring the people back. A total of twelve people were arranged according to the number of people in the normal laboratory.
Otherwise, according to the ratio of one senior mage to three apprentices, tens of people will be arranged to come over, then there will be no work in the laboratory afterwards, and all the children will be taken.
We must know that although there are more than a dozen assistant researchers in the McCard laboratory, they will also be promoted and leave.
By then, dozens of apprentices will be piled up in the laboratory. uukanshu. com is going to bring Xia Duo, and even thinking about that scene makes him feel physically and mentally exhausted.
With such a comparison, it seems that the twelve apprentices are not difficult to accept now!
…
Not long after, Rhodes brought back twelve young men, nine men and three women, and Xia Duo arranged them to various project teams to observe with a wave of his hand, and put them away in a short time.
As long as they don't interfere with the progress of the project, twelve new potted plants will be added to the laboratory.
After doing this, Xia Duo only read the apprentice materials that Rhodes brought back. Although he graduated and was admitted early, he finally didn't get him any crooked dates.
Of these twelve people, four passed the mid-level mage assessment, and although the remaining eight failed the mid-level assessment, they were only a few points away.
If this is placed in the Tower of Time, they can now complete the upgrade through the Ascension Trial and become an Intermediate Mage.
If nothing unexpected happens, the twelve people can become high-level mages as fast as two or three years, or as slow as three or four years.
