Link, with the magic stone in his possession, made his way to the cafeteria.
Jasmine had already chosen food for them both, awaiting his arrival.
“How are you? Is everything alright?”
As Link sat down, Jasmine noticed his off demeanor and quickly asked with concern.
“I’m fine.”
Link didn’t elaborate.
What happened, had happened. Talking about it wouldn’t change a thing.
A gentleman’s revenge can always wait for ten years.
Sooner or later, Link would seek revenge for today’s humiliation.
Consider this, would Sophie Lucia have taken just 30% of the rights if Link had no consciousness of research, experimentation, “thesis,” and “patents?” No, her real intention was to hijack everything from Link’s plate!
Moreover, she could have tarnished Link’s reputation!
After all, such matters could easily get out of hand if dealt with any bias.
Link could lose his rights and could also be stigmatized as an academic plagiarist!
Thinking of this, Link put down his tableware, took out his mobile brain, and after operation, resigned from his part-time job at the Third Botanical Garden. That meant he had worked for nothing for more than half a month.
For the reason for resignation, after some thoughts, Link finally filled in unable to guarantee academic privacy”.
As their relationship was already strained and grudges had been formed, Link didn’t mind deepening the enmity and offending the other party even further. Even if it did not affect the other party, he wanted to disgust them.
On the other side.
The Third Botanical Garden, the Deputy Director’s Office.
Sophie Lucia was just eating when she suddenly received a notification. Her role as the Deputy Director at the Third Botanical Garden had been suspended, immediately leaving her dumbfounded.
The Tower Spirit of the Intelligent Management Center Tower told her she had two days to put her office in order and move out.
“Tower Spirit, what did I do wrong? Why was my role suspended?”
Sophie contacted the Tower Spirit through her office brain on the table and asked directly.
“A part-time employee resigned for the reason of’ inability to guarantee academic privacy.’ After investigation, during Sophie Lucia’s tenure as Acting Director, there was indeed relevant misconduct.
Therefore, the Tower Spirit believes that Sophie Lucia is temporarily unfit to serve as the Acting Director.
According to the relevant provisions, Sophie. Lucia’s role has been suspended. If Sophie Lucia disagrees with this decision, she can appeal to the Main Tower Spirit of the Intelligent Management Center of the Junior Division.” Upon reading the response from the Tower Spirit, Sophie Lucia immediately figured out what had happened.
“Link Grande!”
She gnashed her teeth, muttering this name.
It must be this country bumpkin who was disgruntled and deliberately caused trouble.
Sophie completely detested this country bumpkin!
She wished she could skin him alive.
All of her grand plans and dreams of joining Ravensmouth Biological and
Medical College, were now shattered.
This means Sophie Lucia now has to return to the ranks of normal apprentice wizards.
If she manages to advance to an official wizard within four years, she can officially join the college;
But if she doesn’t, she won’t completely lose her freedom like New Blood from the Stormy Sea, but there will be limited space for promotion in the future.
Her family wouldn’t continue to cultivate her at that time, but see her as a laborer, and exploit her to the last.
If you can’t create more value, then create the value you can!
‘. Disposable!
Afternoon classes ended successfully.
Meanwhile, Link received notifications about the successful publication of his “thesis” and “academic points” to his account.
Actually, the “academic points” were divided into two parts.
The first one was on the day of the “thesis” publication, according to review comments, the quality and the rating of “thesis”, which was between 1-10 points.
The second one was three months after publication, according to the “thesis’s” reading amount and citation counts, the corresponding “academic points” would be granted.
The more, the better, few is few, simple and clear.
The quality and rating of Link’s paper were not high, after all, it was just a minor innovation in a minor field, receiving 2 “academic points” was already quite generous of Wizard Palo.
These 2 “academic points”, couldn’t be exchanged for any amount of magic stone! b
After dinner, Link found an excuse to return to the dormitory.
He took out the carrying case with the magic stone from the mailbox and brought it into the study. After counting the amount, he fetched four small boxes from it.
He found a bag, put the two small boxes from his body, and the four he took out into it, and kept it close to him.
Link then immediately left the dormitory, heading to the library.
Learning in the library late into the night.
On the way to drop Jasmine back to her dormitory, neither of them spoke a word.
This gradually became their normal way to interact.
If there was something to talk about, they talked. And if not, silence was fine.
Jasmine no longer tried to close the gap between them by joking or probing
Link from every aspect, then by behaving in various strange ways, posing cutely, or pretending to be cute.
With less manipulation, her actions have become much more natural.
As reflected in Jasmine, she was getting rid of her false pretense due to a noble upbringing and starting to show genuine feelings, living in a much more relaxed and honest manner.
No longer calculating everything and everyone.
The path wasn’t long and they were soon at Jasmine’s dormitory building.
Without any delays, Link took out the bag and handed it to Jasmine.
“What’s this? It’s quite heavy!”
Jasmine took the bag, and wondered because of the weight.
“Your investment, principal and interest, are all here.”
Link replied with a smile.
“Ah? Already?”
Jasmine exclaimed in surprise, her interest peaked, she immediately untied the bag.
Inside the bag, there were six palm-sized boxes, each box could hold up to five standard grade one magic stones.
“So much?”
Jasmine exclaimed again, her mouth wide open.
“Not that much.”
Link explained in a calm tone, “Your investment capital was five magic stones,
I used two and a half then. Including your share of ten times the return, it totals thirty magic stones.”
“You’ve given quite a lot.”
Jasmine was very happy, but still declined.
She indeed felt that Link had given a lot, but she couldn’t bear to return the magic stones she got, so she was slightly indecisive, her tone weak and not firm at all.
“It’s not much, take it.”
Link smiled and said, “What I’ve kept for myself, is much more than your share.”
This was the truth, no need to hide it, explaining it clearly is better for both of them now and for the future.
“Okay then.”
Jasmine no longer hesitated and happily accepted.
Even her steps to return to her dormitory became much lighter, feeling as if she was about to jump with joy.
Back then, she didn’t give Link the magic stones with the intent of investment.
That was just an excuse, so as not to hurt Link’s self-esteem and lend a helping hand. F 5
How long has it just been now, and there’s already such a handsome return what did that mean?
It proved that she has a good eye for people.
Link is worth the investment!
