"Yes." Antonio briefly explained the method of obtaining points.
There were only two ways to earn points. The first was personal achievements.
Whenever a member of the research department published an approved alchemy product, he or she would receive a certain amount of points. If they were willing to use the name of the department to spread the word, they would receive more points.
The display boxes from the first floor to the fiftieth floor of the research department were set up for this purpose.
The second way to earn points was easier than the first. It was to accept missions from the department.
There were two types of missions. The first was issued by the department, while the second was issued by members of the department. The difference between the two was that the missions issued by the department would definitely reward points, while the missions issued by members of the department would be decided by the person who issued them.
Antonio paused for a moment. "Oh, right. Currently, no one in the department is issuing missions that reward points."
In other words, he could either choose the first way, personal achievements, or accept a mission from the department.
Angor preferred the first way. However, not every alchemy product he published would be approved by the department. In other words, if one were to take this path, they would need a long time to do research, and at the same time, they would need inspiration.
Angor considered for a moment and decided to use the first way as a backup. This was not something he could do in a short time. Besides, he could do it at any time. Let's see if there were other easier ways first.
"Minus the 10 points I got as a special judge, Antonio, do you have any suggestions for me to earn 20 points in the shortest time possible?" Angor asked.
Antonio spoke without hesitation, "There's a mission. If you agree, you'll get at least 100 points immediately."
100 points immediately? Angor looked at Antonio expectantly.
"Stay in the research department," Antonio said.
Staying in the department would take at least years. So, as long as he agreed, he would get 100 points immediately. If he was willing to stay in the department, he would get more and more points.
Staying in the research department could also be considered as acting director. As the acting director, he or she could enjoy a lot of power. It seemed very tempting, but it also came with a lot of sacrifices. For example, the most troublesome thing for the department members was that they had to waste a lot of time dealing with complicated matters that they had to do in person.
All the negotiations between the Research and Development Institute and other organizations, the work arrangements of the Research and Development Institute, the formulation of research topics, the release of works, and the follow-up … These were all the responsibilities of the acting president.
Unless it was someone who had a strong desire for power and a strong sense of responsibility, no one would take the initiative to accept this mission.
"I remember Mithra once told me that if I want to take charge of the department, I'll need to do a basic assessment of the department's members, which covers a lot of aspects. Did he say that I won't be assigned to the department anytime soon?"
Because this task required all aspects of evaluation, an alchemist with an extreme personality like Dong Ming, the "Grafting Maniac", would never be assigned to the research and development department.
Antonio remained silent for a while. "After Mister Padt became a formal wizard, Headmaster Muse personally gave a notice that you're qualified to take on this mission. However, according to the rules of the Research and Development Institute, you won't be assigned the task of overseeing the Research and Development Institute for the next few decades. "
"But if you want to take the initiative to accept it, you can."
"So, Mr. Padt, what is your answer?"
"No." Angor shook his head.
He had a lot of things to do, and he didn't want to look for trouble.
"Is there anything else apart from overseeing the Research and Development Institute? Nothing else? "Angor asked.
Antonio considered for a moment. "There's one more thing that I think might be more suitable for you, Mister Padt."
Antonio slowly spat out a word, "Teach."
As a matter of fact, overseeing the Research and Development Institute and teaching classes were both fixed tasks that almost every member of the Research and Development Institute would do. The former would only be done if they were forced to do it, or if they had no other choice. The latter, however, was something that many members were more than willing to accept.
This was one of the reasons why the Research and Development Institute could become the holy land of alchemists. It had a master alchemist overseeing it and teaching classes from time to time.
Besides, teaching classes was also a way to organize one's own knowledge.
More importantly, the time of a class was also very flexible. Even if you only taught one class, you could stop the class at any time if you didn't want to.
"How many points do you get for each class?" Angor asked.
"The points are calculated according to the duration of the class. But based on the average score of each class, you can get at least two to three points per class. Some of you can even get more than five points."
Angor did some calculations. He only needed 20 points, which could be earned in less than ten classes.
This could be used as a reference.
Teaching classes was free, after all. Besides, he didn't plan to stay in the Research and Development Institute for a long time. It would be best if he could finish his work in a short time.
Antonio also mentioned several other ways to earn points. They either restricted Angor's freedom, or they were not things that Angor could master.
Overall, teaching classes was the best option.
Angor didn't think he was good enough to teach classes yet. But according to Antonio, the members could choose their own courses. In that case, he could try teaching some of the parts that he was more familiar with.
Mithra also encouraged Angor to give lectures so that he could earn points and answer questions from other alchemists, which could help him improve his alchemy career.
"If you decide to teach classes, you can ask the other members about some of your questions. They can explain them better than me." Antonio was only a spirit after all. He had never been to a real class before, which was why he suggested this to Angor.
Next, Angor chatted with Antonio about the special judges for a while before they parted ways.
After leaving the City of Floating Mech, Angor planned to visit Lumber Bar to check on Nausica. But since he was already at the opposite side of Floating Mech City and the Elixir Hut was nearby, he might as well pay Mithra a visit.
Also, he wanted to ask Mithra about some questions regarding his lessons as well.
…
When Angor arrived at the Elixir Hut, the door was already opened before he knocked.
"Come in." Mithra's voice reached Angor's ears.
Warm yellow light illuminated the hut, which was full of life.
Angor walked in and saw Mithra standing beside the stove in the kitchen, carefully examining the liquid inside.
At first, Angor thought Mithra was brewing some kind of potion. But then, he smelled the aroma of mushrooms and fish.
Angor looked closer and saw Mithra cooking a pot of mushroom and fish soup.
The soft light, the warm atmosphere, the aroma of the soup, Mithra's serious expression, and the serious look on his face …
Angor couldn't help but feel that he was not in the home of a master alchemist, but a normal family of three.
Seeing this, Angor's restless mind calmed down.
As the aroma in the air grew stronger, not only did Angor's long-dormant desire begin to stir, but even Toby, who was taking a nap in Angor's pocket, also poked his head out with a greedy look.
Mithra didn't say anything. He only asked Angor to sit at the table first. When the aroma grew stronger, Mithra extinguished the fire and brought a pot of soup to the table.
Seeing Toby's eager face, he smiled and took out a soup plate. He scooped a bowl of soup for Toby and even put a whole fish in the soup plate.
"Here, have a taste of my cooking."
Angor was a little embarrassed. He wanted to tell Toby to control himself, but Toby quickly buried his face in the soup.
Mithra also gave Angor a bowl of soup and asked him to try it.
Angor could only thank Mithra with a tinge of embarrassment.
After drinking a bowl of warm soup, his relaxed mood after entering the Potion Hut improved once again. He even felt a little lazy.
"Mister Mithra, why are you cooking? Isn't Miss Yeliya here?" Angor asked out of curiosity.
"Don't call me 'mister', and don't use honorifics on Yeliya either. You're a wizard now, and you're also a member of the research department. We're peers now." Mithra took off his apron.
Angor considered and changed the way he addressed Mithra. "Mister Mithra."
As Mithra said, they were peers. But in Angor's mind, Mithra was still his senior.
Mithra didn't care about the title. "You know, Yeliya loves Toya a lot. She's been going to watch the Rising Star Competition with Toya these days, and she's been staying in the main city. So I have to cook by myself. "
Even though Mithra was sighing and complaining, it was clear that he and Yeliya were very close.
"Toya likes the Rising Star Competition too?"
"Yeah. He can't stop talking about Princess Shan. He kept asking Yeliya to take him to watch the competition. He's still so young, but he's going to be a bad boy when he grows up. "
Princess Shan was actually Shan from Brute Cavern.
Angor learned from Toya that Shan came from the same tribe as him. Shan was the daughter of the chief of their tribe, so she was called "princess".
However, Shan left the tribe a long time ago to train in Brute Cavern. Toya only saw Shan at the tribe festival a few years ago.
Perhaps because of that one glance, Tu Yong started to miss Shan.
