Chapter 225: Chapter 42: Take Advantage to the Extremes

Link saw the opportunity to earn “academic points”, as did everyone else.
After Sophie Lucia’s two “snatches”, Link paid great attention to this aspect.
He didn’t want to slowly carry out his research and experiments, only to find someone else had already jumped the gun, published the “paper”, and reaped the “academic points”.
“No problem, boss.”
Buck pounded his chest, boasting, “Even if I have to live and eat in the lab, I can bear it.”
“Alright, since you’re so sincere, I’ll satisfy you.”
Link immediately followed Buck’s lead, catching him off guard.
“Hehe…”
Buck scratched his head, grinning sheepishly.
He was just posturing, how could he really live and eat in the lab.
He believed the boss was just teasing him.
Linn took a moment, then asked: “Boss, in that case, will we run out of experiment materials?”
His worry was not unfounded.
Over a thousand people from the North District participated in the district competition. Even by a ratio of one-tenth, there would still be over a hundred people with a “research” consciousness.
That’s over a hundred competitors.
Moreover, among the North District students, there were those who were ridiculously well-off, using a large number of Magic Stones to pave their way. How could they not obtain experimental materials?
There was even the possibility of monopolization.
At this point, Linn couldn’t help but feel fortunate that the boss had asked them to start gathering materials early.
Unfortunately, the quantity was too small.
Did Link know about this?
Of course he did.
Was there a way to change this situation?
Submitting a research proposal to the college, was the solution.
“Don’t worry. I have a plan.”
It was too early to tell, so Link didn’t explain his plan. He just reassured everyone, “Anyway, we won’t lack experiment materials.”
In the worst case, he would contact Eric or Monroe, present part of the research results, and exchange it for experimental materials.
Compared to “academic points”, Link places greater importance on nurturing “seeds”.
If he could have both, grasping them with both hands, it would be even better.
At this time, Jasmine asked: “What about Betty and her group? They told Digee today that they want to formally join our team. What do you think? Do we allow them to join now, or do we observe them for a while?”
Jasmine brought up a school rule: “Any team with 10 or more members must apply to the school to establish a formal group or organization. Don’t forget that.”
Many apprentice organizations in both South and North District, such as “New Blood Mutual Aid Association”, “Sea Sail Alliance”, “Pure Blood Will”, “Ultimate Glory”, developed this way.
Link knew about this school rule and had a response strategy. He replied: “I’ll make a trip to Wizard Palo’s place tomorrow to report something. We’ll make a decision on this matter after I return.”
“Okay.”
Jasmine nodded.
Why report to Wizard Palo before allowing the Social Phobia Group to join the team and creating a formal group at the school?
Of course, out of reverence.
Having reached this point in their conversation, they were already at the base of Jasmine’s dorm.
After bidding Jasmine farewell, Link and the Brotherhood Group returned to their respective dorms.
The next day.
The morning schedule was the same as usual.
After lunch, Link went alone to the Administrative Building.
He entered the long-abandoned thesis review office and met with Wizard Palo.
After the usual salutations, Link got right to the point, stating his main reason for coming.
After hearing Link’s proposal for a research subject, along with the specific topic, Wizard Palo was silent for a long time.
In the end, he failed to keep his emotions in check, a big grin spreading across his face.
In a somewhat strange tone, he said:
“The school’s wool will surely be plucked clean by you people sooner or later.”
“I’ve already received three similar research proposals today.”
“Free experimental materials, why not take advantage of it, right?”
“Good guy, that’s really something.”
“Each one of you is more ruthless than the last.”
