Instructor Tutu personally supported Xia Duo's decision, but he also reminded Xia Duo, "Other students have also spent a lot of time and energy on this project. Have you thought about how to convince them?"
Not everyone is willing to consider only benefits, or the Mystery Node project itself also contains huge benefits, but these benefits will not be easily obtained.
To adjust the direction of the independent project, Shaduo not only had to convince himself, but also needed to give a reasonable explanation to all other project members who had worked hard on it.
It's not enough to convince everyone else that one person will make the road to becoming a full researcher difficult, but once said, it will cause division in the team.
Chateau must come up with a better reason.
At this moment, when he was asked by Tutu Tutuo, he looked a little overwhelmed. He couldn't say a word for a long time. Seeing this, Tutuo Tutu couldn't help but sighed softly, and then said:
"Let me talk to them about this! As for you, this project is no longer going on for the time being. What new project do you plan to change to?"
"I haven't thought about what I will do specifically yet, but I want to do some projects that can be completed in a short time and can show benefits. There are still a few years left before graduation. I plan to collect the research sequence points of other students as soon as possible. .”
Currently, the points required to be promoted to a full researcher within the research sequence are still 500 points, but Xia Duo has heard rumors that starting from his next two terms, the points threshold for promotion to a researcher will be 700 points.
The reason why the score increased by 200 points is inseparable from him. The emergence of Lingsi Network has allowed college students to advance their general and professional courses, and the time they can use for independent projects is longer.
College students who do independent projects before graduation will already receive points bonus. If the promotion threshold is not raised, I am afraid that anyone who graduates from college will be able to become a researcher in the future.
Researchers can mobilize a large amount of research resources, but the research resources of the Red Heart Alliance are ultimately limited. It is not possible to let go of this gap for the time being. Reasonable promotion conditions must be formulated in conjunction with the speed of development.
Although it is now rumored that Xia Duo will only start to raise the promotion threshold in the next two terms, he has indeed reaped the dividends of Lingsi Network this term. The current policies above are still uncertain, so he must make some preparations in advance.
Xia Duo does not have the ability to directly influence policies. What he can do now is to lead his classmates to do as many projects as possible. If he can get 700 points, that would be the best.
If you can't get it together, you should try to be as close as possible, so as to save time for promotion after graduation.
…
After leaving Tutu's tutor, Sha Duo wandered around the campus for a while, and checked the Alliance Technical Committee's list of projects they had supported in the past ten years through the secret lock.
Then he selected some popular and quick-resulting puzzle design projects involving engineering and process improvement, and he decided to do these in the next few years.
The support from the technical committee shows that it is promising, and the popularity means that there are a large number of researchers studying it, and there are more references in the direction selection. As for the mystery lock design, it is his major. If he does not choose this field, the college will not pass it at all.
After making his choice, Xia Duo immediately returned to the library. After checking some information, he was more certain about this idea. However, he had not told his classmates yet, but was waiting for the notification from Tutu Tutuo.
…
Two days later, Xia Duo received a notice from Tutu Tutu, saying that he could discuss with other students to settle the project. Xia Duo felt relieved. After chatting with other students, he found out that Tutu Tutu had been on his own for a while. The evil person used the name of the school to suppress the project that Class 4 is currently working on.
When Ortom and the others talked about this matter with Sha Duo, their words were full of dissatisfaction with the academy's short-sightedness. However, because Tutu, who had always supported the project, mentioned it, they did not doubt the authenticity of the matter.
"Maruente, the academy may not support us anymore. What should we do now?"
"Then we can only close the project. Without the support of the college, we can't even carry out normal experiments. However, this project is not hopeless at all. We can start other projects first, and then continue to invest the saved resources and funds. this project."
"That can only be like this!" Ortom said with regret.
"By the way, what are you going to do with the new project?"
“Do something that has quick results and gives students some return on their investment, so that they can continue to support us.”
The project has no income, so there is no doubt that the college's investment has been wasted. However, if the project can generate income, the college will also be able to share some profits.
In other words, this part of the income from student projects is an important part of the college's independent project fund.
Speaking of which, this should also be part of university education, allowing prospective graduates to experience their post-graduation research life in advance.
…
After a long discussion, the Xia Duo team finally agreed to end the Mystery Lock Node project as soon as possible. There were no setbacks in the subsequent new projects. Xia Duo's proposal was unanimously recognized by everyone.
In the next few years, until they were about to graduate, the students in the fourth class had been carrying out Xia Duo's arrangements. While working on popular projects with quick results, they also squeezed out funding resources to continue researching the mysterious lock nodes.
During this period, they also experienced a more fiercely competitive Mystical Offense and Defense competition, and under the leadership of Xia Duo, they achieved similar results to the previous one.
In the last session, they relied on the powerful tool of Lingsi Network to squeeze into the middle of the pack, but such results have a lot of merits. After all, they know best how strong they are.
By the time the second Mystic Lock Attack and Defense Competition was underway, Lingsi Network had already spread to all major universities, and the little advantage that Shaduo's class had had been wiped out, so their performance would naturally return to the most realistic level.
Even if the competition is arranged at the peak of their performance when they are about to graduate, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get first place.
But no matter what, for Xia Duo, this competition is more about the feeling of participating in it. After meeting the promotion requirements, he doesn't care at all about points.
…
Graduation season.
All the members of Class 4 gathered in Xia Duo's courtyard again, but this time they no longer talked about any projects or magic, but instead talked about future plans.
"I received invitations from ten research institutions, two of which were exempt from the examination."
"I also received ten offers, but four were exempted from the exam."
"Don't go if you're exempt from the exam. I've heard that most of the research institutions that grant exemption qualifications are quite cheating. I guess they just want to use our status as official researchers to make some articles to attract more graduates to join."
"Emil is right! I also received several invitations to be exempted from the exam. I did a brief investigation and found that they are not mainly engaged in the research of mystery locks. Think about it if we graduate from mystery lock design and go to such a research institution, then What a trap!"
