Finally, a boatload of people were sent away. In a place where there are many people and it is not of my interest, I really feel uncomfortable staying there for any longer.
The two young apprentices were cleaning up the mess in the tower, and Lin had just finished a simple dinner and sat back in front of the console, groping around in confusion, not knowing what to do.
Things kept being interrupted, his emotions couldn't be coherent, and Lin was in a daze. It is still raining outside. According to the weather forecast of astrologers, this rain will continue for about ten days, so it is naturally impossible to observe the starry sky. Furthermore, the drawing of the plane star map has also been completed to a certain extent. The next step is to determine the relative positions of the stars in the universe. This is not something that can be achieved by simply observing the stars.
The idle tower master was trying to recall where his original research had been when the mercury mirror energy pool suddenly changed, and President Cheng Guo Eaton appeared again...
There was nothing embarrassing about being bumped into this time, but Lin hated the old man's bad habits with a itch. Should we put aside our scruples and really make something like instant messaging or QQ, so that the great fear of being unable to read back can also come to the world of Lost World?
"Mr. President." Hateful, Lin stood up and greeted him respectfully.
"Sir Tripwood. This time, thanks to you. Those three appeared at the same time. To be honest, I couldn't handle it. A happy ending is the best result."
Lin Ke fully agreed with the president's words. If the other party is tough, just fight back; if you can't win, then give in. But the other party is soft. It's really not easy to stick to your point of view, and there are three presidents coming together. That big battle almost scared Lin to the point of peeing.
The president continued: "The main reason for contacting you is to learn more about it. You mentioned the issue of the integration of the malls in the four districts. Because there were so many people before, it was not convenient for me to ask in detail. So I took advantage of this free time to come. Disturb you."
Old man, you are free, but I may not be free. Lin, who really wanted to answer this way, actually expressed his thoughts obediently. In fact, the idea is not difficult. It's just that as a mall user, you have to think about some functions that will bring convenience to you; and then as a system designer, you have to think about how to implement this function.
But what I can mention is system-related things. The handling of specific affairs must be coordinated and integrated within the chamber of commerce. Meddling too much can make people annoying. But these bosses are not so considerate of their employees.
Just before the discussion came to an end and the video contact was about to be closed after seeing the president's character, Lin decided to express the idea he had been thinking about for a long time. "President Eaton, regarding the other three district chapters, the remuneration will be handed over to me in the end."
"Oh, after they send the money, they will send your part to the Tower of the Great Sage as soon as possible. Or if you need it urgently, I can also use the funds of this association first."
"It's not an urgent need, President. It's about the money. I have an idea. I wonder if I can ask the President for help."
"Well, please tell me."
"I wonder if the president still remembers magician Charlie Richard?"
"I remember that Richard Richard has been dead for several years. Could it be that you are too?"
"Yes, my mentor is the magician Charlie Richard. In the last few years of the teacher's life, I was lucky enough to become one of his apprentices. Although the teacher died of illness, I have not yet become an official magician. The president’s apprenticeship training policy has allowed us to achieve such success today.”
Charlie Richard can be said to be a special figure in the Xijia District Chapter. Lin Yong said that he came from the earth, which means that this is a man with the character of a virgin. In Confucius' "Teaching without distinction, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude", he achieved the first four words. This is a very rare behavior in the lost world.
Many apprentices with low talents and no magician willing to guide them can get the opportunity to learn from Richard. It is precisely because of this that he has a large number of apprentices and the resources that each one can get are scarce, but it is better than not getting any opportunities.
Lin, who had just traveled to the Lost Land, would have been cold if he hadn't met such a holy lady. Although a few years later, the old man passed away due to age and illness. But those who have stepped into the magical world have relied on their own understanding and hard work, as well as doing jobs that others find troublesome, and have managed to survive today.
Charlie Richard had no children, and his only wife passed away a few years before him. Such an old man spent his whole life trying his best to gather the resources needed by the apprentices and answer everyone's questions about knowledge. Then he finished his life alone and was buried in the loess.
And his behavior that was criticized as stupid certainly had no successors. Or it should be said that it’s not that no one learned what he did and put it into practice, it’s just that no one was as philanthropic as he was and gave his all.
Speaking of his mentor, Lin certainly wanted to do something while he had some spare time. He said: "I want to use the part of the remuneration allocated to me by the other three districts to establish a Richard Foundation."
"Richard... fund?" The name was understandable, but the word 'fund' after it puzzled Chengguo Eaton.
"The fund can be regarded as an independent capital account, with independent and standardized purposes and will not be misappropriated for other purposes. The original idea of this money actually originated from the Adventurer's Guild's rescue of villages in remote areas. In Before there was a forum, when villages and towns faced attacks from groups of monsters, or invasions and plunders from uncivilized Homo sapiens, news often spread out asking for help. By the time the dispatched personnel arrived, the villages had been wiped out. In some cases After the forum, the situation has improved. But not all villages in remote areas have a magic stone that can open the forum system, let alone know how to use it."
"What do the tower masters think?"
"The association will take the lead in spreading the Forum Magic Stones to every village and town. But doing this simply allows ordinary people to have a channel to quickly seek help, and it is not in line with the principle of maximizing interests. And I thought Teacher Richard's wish is to say that maybe we can publish the introductory learning methods of magic apprentices on the forum and let the villagers learn. If someone can learn by themselves, I believe the magic world will open its door to accept such Talent.”
You must know that the biggest enemy that magicians face in inheritance is not the rejection of secular nobles, but the competition for talents from various gods and churches.
People with magical talents are one among a thousand. Of course, there are good and bad among them, but they are all talented. In addition, people who do not even have the qualifications to touch the magical world will of course find it difficult to enter the magical world.
The Church of God is completely different. People with magical talents will be able to perform divine spells; if they are pious enough, they can also receive divine spells several times a day; if they do not have magical talents, they can be trained to become guardian warriors; even if they are not good at civil and military skills, they can still farm or work for the church. It’s giving money.
It can be said that the Church of God can make the best use of all kinds of people. Therefore, they will be more active in contacting ordinary people, and the more people they contact, of course, there will be relatively more talents with magical talents, but they have all been absorbed into the church.
Therefore, secular nobles are more disgusted with the power of the church than magicians. The same goes for magicians, because those who join the church and have talents may also study magic, but after all, they cannot be counted in the magic system.
In order to fight against the church's talent grab, the Magicians Association has been tasked with discovering apprentices for many years. Unfortunately, you have to find someone with magical talents and willing to join the magical world in order to be rewarded. If such a person cannot be found, then no matter how much effort it takes to find a magician, it will be in vain.
Therefore, most magicians are not very active in the task of discovering talents. The biggest sources of new apprentices are mostly wealthy businessmen with ideas or aristocratic families that have inherited magic for a long time.
Lin's proposal is undoubtedly a new way to discover talents. Chengguo Yidun's eyes lit up when he heard this. Lin continued: "To distribute forum magic stones to every village and teach how to use them, manpower is needed. Manpower is also needed to bring back people who can learn magic by themselves. I know many new magicians, It is not suitable for combat-type tasks. But if you can get paid for this kind of task of imparting knowledge or bringing back apprentices, I believe that many people will be willing to do it. And this reward will be provided by the Richard Foundation .”
Chengguo Eaton was very excited when he heard it, but Lin did not stop and continued to talk about his thoughts. "When these apprentices gather in the headquarters, maybe not all of them can be taken in by the magician. Then those people can be centralized and managed, and regular magicians can be invited to give them lessons and guidance and answer their questions on a regular basis. Just like in the past, Charlie Richard What the teacher did. It’s just that the magician who teaches does not need to be fixed, nor does he need to accept all the remaining apprentices as his students. It can be regarded as a task issued by the association, and he comes for the reward. The expenses required will of course be borne by the Richard Foundation. As for the management of these apprentices and the resources provided, I think it should be very reasonable based on what Teacher Richard did."
It sounds like a very bright future, but Chengguo Eaton is not a young man who can stop his hunger just by seeing the painted cake. He immediately thought of a question, rubbed his beard, and said: "This kind of plan is very good. But in the mall systems of the other three districts, although the reward that belongs to you is a lot, it will always be used up one day. You have Have you ever thought about such a question?"
"Yes, I know this. So I am willing to invest the future sales share of the browser into the Richard Fund. This fund will also accept donations from others. But in the accounts, income and expenses must be Open and detailed. But to achieve this level, there must be people, or organizations, who manage the fund. Of course, these people will be paid for their efforts, and they will be paid out of the fund."
"It sounds like your ideas are quite mature. So what do you want the association to help you with?"
