Warlock Apprentice Chapter 1518 - 1518 Section 1519 Ways to Obtain

Chapter 1518: Section 1519: Ways to Obtain Chapter 1518: Section 1519: Ways to Obtain “Yes,” Antonio briefly described the thod of obtaining points.

Currently, there are two ways, the first one is personal achievents.

Every ti a mber of the Research and Developnt Institute releases an approved alchemy product, they would receive certain points, and if they are willing to distribute it on behalf of the Institute, they would be awarded more points.

The display cases from the first to the fiftieth floor of the Research and Developnt Institute are set up for this purpose.

The second thod of obtaining points is simpler than the first; it involves accepting tasks from the Research and Developnt Institute.

Tasks are generally of two kinds, the first kind are issued in the na of the Institute, and the second kind are issued by mbers of the Institute. The distinction between these two types of tasks is that tasks issued by the Institute inevitably reward points, while tasks issued by mbers have rewards set by the issuers themselves.

After explaining, Antonio paused, “By the way, currently no mber of the Research and Developnt Institute has issued a task with points as a reward.”

That is to say, either take the route of personal achievents or accept tasks from the Research and Developnt Institute.

Angel actually prefers the first one, but choosing this thod does not guarantee that every alchemy product you release will be recognized. This ans, following this path requires a long ti for research and also needs inspiration.

Angel pondered for a mont and decided to keep the first thod as an alternative. After all, it’s not sothing that can be achieved in the short term, and this chess move can be played anyti; first, let’s see if there are other simpler thods.

“Excluding the 10 points I got as a special judge, Antonio, do you have any suggestions on how I can quickly obtain another 20 points?” Angel asked.

Antonio replied almost without thinking: “There’s a task, and if you agree to it, you can instantly obtain at least 100 points.”

Instantly obtain 100 points? Angel looked at Antonio expectantly.

Antonio said: “Preside over the Research and Developnt Institute.”

Presiding over the Research and Developnt Institute is at least a yearly commitnt, so just by agreeing, you imdiately get 100 points, and if you are willing to continue, the awarded points will increase.

Presiding over the Research and Developnt Institute can be understood as acting as the institute head. As an acting head, the authority can be significantly elevated, which seems very tempting, but the corresponding inputs are also substantial. For example, what frustrates mbers the most is the need to waste a lot of aningless ti dealing with cumberso yet essential tasks personally.

All negotiations with other organizations, work scheduling of the Research and Developnt Institute, topic assignnt, work release, and follow-up… etc., are responsibilities of the acting institute head.

Unless one is extrely desirous of power and overly responsible, basically no one would voluntarily accept this task.

Angel was puzzled: “I rember Midora once told that to preside over the Research and Developnt Institute requires a basic assessnt of the mbers, covering many aspects, and he said I wouldn’t be arranged to preside over the Research and Developnt Institute in a short ti?”

Since this task involves assessnts in various aspects, alchemists with extre character traits like “Grafting Maniac” Dong La would absolutely not be assigned to preside over the Research and Developnt Institute.

Antonio was silent for a mont: “After Mr. Pat beca an Official Wizard, the Dean Muse personally endorsed that you are qualified for this task. However, according to the rules of the Research and Developnt Institute, indeed, in the next several decades, you wouldn’t be arranged to preside over the institute.”

“But if you want to take it proactively, you can.”

“So, Mr. Pat, what is your answer?”

Angel shook his head without hesitation: “No.”

He has many things to do and doesn’t want to invite trouble.

“Apart from presiding over the Research and Developnt Institute, are there no other tasks?” Angel asked.

Antonio thought for a mont: “There is another one, which I think might be more suitable for Mr. Pat.”

Antonio slowly uttered a word: “Teaching.”

Indeed, presiding over the Research and Developnt Institute and teaching are standard tasks that mbers of the Research and Developnt Institute are exposed to. The forr, unless it’s mandatory or one’s turn by rotation, mbers would reluctantly do; the latter, however, many mbers are quite willing to take.

The reason why the Research and Developnt Institute can beco a holy land for alchemists, with Alchemy Masters presiding and occasionally teaching, is one of the reasons.

Moreover, teaching is also a way of organizing one’s own knowledge.

Most importantly, the teaching schedule is very flexible; even if you only teach one class, and decide you do not want to teach anymore, you can stop at any ti.

“How many points would teaching one class get?” Angel asked.

“Points are calculated based on effective duration, but looking at the average scores of all mbers when they teach, typically, one class can earn at least 2-3 points, with higher scores earning over 5 points.”

Angel did the math himself; although the points for teaching are not many, he only needs 20 points, and teaching fewer than ten classes could achieve this score.

This could be considered as a reference.

After all, teaching is relatively free. And he doesn’t plan to stay in the Research and Developnt Institute for long, it would naturally be best if he could handle things in the short term.

Besides teaching, Antonio also ntioned several other ways to earn credits, which either restrict freedom or are beyond Angel’s expertise.

From a comprehensive perspective, teaching is still more suitable.

Although Angel does not believe he has reached the level to teach, according to Antonio, instructors can design their own courses. Thus, he could try teaching so parts he is familiar with.

Additionally, Midora had encouraged Angel to teach, which would not only help him earn credits but also stimulate his own journey in Alchemy due to questions raised by other Alchemists.

“If you decide to teach, for so of the questions, you might consult other mbers, who can explain clearer than I can,” said Antonio, who, being a Spirit, never really taught and thus gave this advice to Angel.

Then, Angel discussed with Antonio so matters regarding being a special judge and bid him farewell.

After leaving Fantasy chanical City, Angel initially planned to visit Mukihara Bar to check on Nausicaa’s situation. However, since he had already co to the opposite side of Sky chanical City and the Magic Potion Cottage was nearby, he decided to visit Midora.

Specifically, he wanted to ask Midora about teaching-related issues.

…

When Angel arrived at the Magic Potion Cottage, before he could knock, the door opened by itself.

“Co in,” Midora’s voice reached Angel’s ears.

The warm yellow light softened the holy atmosphere of the cottage.

Stepping in, Angel saw Midora standing by the kitchen stove, intently observing the liquid in the pot.

Initially, Angel thought Midora was concocting so potion, until a rich fragrance filled with mushroom and seafood scents wafted over.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out Midora was preparing a pot of mushroom and seafood chowder.

This scene: the soft lighting, the cozy atmosphere, the savory aroma of the chowder, and Midora’s focused expression wearing an apron seriously…

It made Angel unconsciously think he was not in an Alchemy Master’s ho, but rather in a warm, ordinary family of three.

Angel’s originally restless mood cald down suddenly due to this scene.

With the increasingly rich aroma in the air, not only did Angel’s long-silent appetite start to stir, but Toby, who was dozing in Angel’s breastplate, couldn’t help but pop out his little head, looking famished.

Midora continued to remain silent, only gesturing for Angel to sit at the table. After a while, as the aroma intensified, Midora turned off the heat and brought the pot of chowder to the table.

Seeing Toby’s eager face, Midora smiled and scooped a bowl for him, even specially putting a whole fish into Toby’s bowl.

“Go ahead, try my cooking.”

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Angel initially wanted Toby to restrain himself, but as soon as Toby heard he could eat, his little face burrowed eagerly into the bowl.

Midora also scooped a bowl for Angel, indicating him to give it a try.

Angel, albeit sowhat sheepishly, thanked Midora.

A bowl of warm chowder settled in his stomach, further relaxing his mood after entering the Magic Potion Cottage, making him feel almost lazily content.

“Midora, why are you cooking yourself today? Isn’t Lady Yeliya around?” Angel curiously asked.

“Don’t address or Yeliya with formal titles; you’re now an Official Wizard and a mber of the Research and Developnt Institute, we’re peers,” Midora said, removing his apron.

Angel thought for a mont, then replaced “Lord” with “Master Midora.”

Even though Midora ntioned they are peers, in Angel’s heart, Midora was always a senior.

Midora didn’t fuss over the formality of titles and answered Angel’s question: “You know how Yeliya dotes on Tugan. These days, she has been following Tugan to the new star races and has stayed in the main city area, leaving to cook for myself.”

Despite Midora sighing and grumbling, it was clear that he and Yeliya shared a very genuine relationship.

“Does Tugan also love watching the new star races?”

“Yes, he can’t stop talking about Princess Shan, pestering Yeliya to take him to watch Shan’s matches. Such a small boy already so fixated on a girl, he definitely won’t turn out well.”

Princess Shan is actually Shan from Barbarian Cave.

Angel learned from Tugan before that Shan and he are from the sa tribe. In their tribe, as the chieftain’s daughter, she is addressed as a princess.

However, Shan left the tribe early to train in Barbarian Cave. Tugan had only seen Shan a few years ago during a tribal festival.

Perhaps because of that one glimpse, the little Tugan had taken a liking to Shan.
