Hearing the number "500 gold coins", the other six researchers who were cheering were stunned. The side hall fell into a strange silence for a moment.
After a while, Akali asked Xu Yi with a slightly trembling voice and an expression of disbelief, "Sir … Sir President, you just said … I'm a level one reward?"
"Yes, a level one reward, 500 gold coins. You didn't hear wrong." Xu Yi nodded seriously.
Akali was in a daze for a moment, then suddenly cheered and jumped up.
"Haha, that's great!
500 gold coins!
How many new clothes can I buy! "
Xu Yi was speechless for a moment.
This Akali, in the end, was only a young girl in her early twenties. After receiving such a large reward, the first thing she thought of was to buy new clothes.
Seeing that the other six researchers were looking at Akali with envy, Xu Yi continued, "Don't just be jealous of Akali.
I have always been generous with these kinds of technological breakthroughs, and Akali's results are indeed worthy of this reward.
If you want to receive such a high reward like her, then do your research in the future and strive to make a technological breakthrough comparable to hers. "
The other six researchers nodded vigorously.
Although they were very envious of Akali, they also knew that Akali had played the biggest role this time. It could even be said that this magic resonance technology was mostly developed and applied in practice by Akali alone.
Now that they were able to receive a reward of 100 gold coins, it was already a pleasant surprise.
Seeing Akali and the other six researchers high-fiving and celebrating, Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh.
In fact, according to his real thoughts, the magic resonance technology discovered by Akali had a very wide range of applications. Now, using this technology, one could use a small operation box to control all the magic lights in the city square. It could only be considered a very simple application.
If this technology continued to be researched, there would be a lot of applications in the future. Just the first thing that Xu Yi could think of now was as many as three aspects.
Furthermore, as long as he continued his research in the future, he would definitely discover more applications.
In Xu Yi's opinion, the reward of only 500 gold coins to Akali was not worth mentioning at all for such a far-reaching and promising technology.
If possible, he felt that rewarding Akali with 50,000 gold coins would not be excessive.
Of course, the current reward system of the Academy of Magic was set by Evita and approved by Xu Yi, so he obviously couldn't break this rule.
What's more, if the reward was only 500 gold coins now, there would be more room for improvement in the future.
In the future, the Academy of Magic would develop more and more technologies related to magic machines and would become more and more important. Therefore, the rewards given out would also increase accordingly.
When that time came, there might be a situation where some companies on Earth offered a reward of tens of millions for a piece of technology.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi turned his head to look at Sancheli, who had been sitting silently in the corner of the side hall. Although he looked a little excited, he was more embarrassed.
Seeing Xu Yi look over, Sancheli gave him a seemingly forced smile.
Xu Yi thought for a bit and walked over to sit beside him. He patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "What's wrong?
You've done such a great job, so why do you still have this expression?
Come, tell me honestly, what level of reward do you think you can get this time? "
The smile on Sancheli's face became even more forced and awkward. He waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, I've been doing nothing for more than a year. Now that I can finally help, I'm already very happy. How could I dare to ask for any reward?
Sir chairman, don't blame me for taking such a long time to develop something like this. It's already not bad. "
Xu Yi stared at Sancheli for a while and asked, "So you've been finding excuses to avoid me because you're ashamed?"
Sancheli's face really showed an ashamed expression. He nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "That's right.
Every day, I've seen my colleagues in the research institute produce all kinds of results and help the company develop all kinds of new products, but I haven't been able to do anything.
Although sir chairman hasn't said anything, I feel very sorry in my heart.
If it weren't for you, I might have starved to death in Anvilmar City.
Not only did you save me, you also fulfilled my dreams and let me have my own research lab. I can study the magic I want to study to my heart's content. I really don't know how to repay you.
Originally, I thought that as long as I could help you complete the magic array programming technology you mentioned, it would be enough to repay you.
But … But I didn't expect this technology to be so difficult. "
"Are you very surprised?" Xu Yi said with a smile.
"To tell you the truth, I originally didn't have any extravagant hopes for the magic array programming technology. It was completely when I saw you for the first time and saw that crystal ball you made that I decided to let you give it a try.
I know very well how difficult this technology is, so I never expected you to be able to thoroughly study this technology in a short period of time.
This time, you were able to use a part of the magic array delay technology that you've already researched and put it into practice. After those fountains sprayed out water, they still activated the water magic array to change into various patterns. This is already a pleasant surprise for me.
So you don't have to feel any pressure, just continue to persevere in your research. "
The more magnanimous Xu Yi appeared to be, the more ashamed Sancheli's expression became.
It was like he said, Xu Yi had not only saved his life, he had also saved his dreams.
If not for his persistence in the research of his own original magic, a mage with decent magical talent like him would not have fallen to the point where he was close to begging for food or even starving to death.
To him, the dream of magic research was even more important than his life.
Now that he had come to New Flyer, Xu Yi had provided him with an environment where he could freely conduct the magic research he liked. It was as if he had been given a new life.
"Alright!
I will definitely work hard! "Thinking of this, Sancheli nodded his head vigorously.
"Sir President, don't worry, if I can't research it in a year, I will use ten years!
If I can't research it in ten years, I will use all my time!
I will definitely research the magic array programming technology you want before I die!
In the future, you don't even need to give me a salary, as long as you give me food to eat and provide me with magic materials, I will dedicate my life to New Flyer! "
Xu Yi smiled and shook his head, "I said before, you don't have to be so stressed, just focus on your research.
Also, through this performance, I suddenly realized that I overlooked a problem.
The reason why Akali was able to research the magic array resonance technology so quickly and put it into practice so quickly, other than her talent, was also because she had six other researchers helping her.
But you were alone from the beginning to the end.
So from tomorrow onwards, you can choose a few assistants to work with you in the research.
What do you think? "
"There's no need for that, right?" Sancheli was stunned.
"I only need to research this thing, I don't need any assistants."
"Even His Excellency the Great Mage needs assistants to research magic, why don't you need them?
This matter is decided, I'll give you three days to think about it, then give the list of assistants you want to Evita, then negotiate with her and the assistants you choose. Once the list is confirmed, then tell me. "
Seeing Xu Yi's unquestionable expression, Sancheli immediately swallowed all his objections and nodded in agreement.
"Also, my principle is to reward those who contribute.
This time, the magic array delay technology you researched had a very good effect in the new city square. Although it wasn't as dazzling as Akali's magic array resonance technology, it was still very important. So I've decided to give you a second level reward, the amount is two hundred gold coins. "Xu Yi said seriously.
Sancheli froze for a moment and wanted to refuse, but after seeing Xu Yi's firm gaze, he couldn't open his mouth and could only obediently accept.
"Alright, keep working hard in the future.
Although your performance this time wasn't as good as Akali's, I've always been optimistic about the future of the magic array pre-programming technology. I believe that it will become an extremely important technology in the future and won't be any worse than the magic array resonance technology. "
Xu Yi patted Sancheli's shoulder and comforted him with a few words before bidding farewell to Akali and the others and leaving the side hall. Under the guidance of the servant, he found Samo Count and Hannas talking in a small living room.
The two were chatting happily when they saw Xu Yi come in. They both stopped and looked over.
"Xu Yi, what reward did you just give to the researchers of the Academy of Magic?" Samo Count asked with a smile after Xu Yi sat down.
"We can hear their cheers even from here, the reward must not be small, right?"
Xu Yi smiled, "It's not much, just a hundred gold coins per person."
"Heh, 100 gold coins per person is not much?" Hannas shook his head and sighed.
Hannas shook his head with a sigh, "Should I say that New Flyer is rich or should I say that Chairman Xu is good at squandering money?"
Xu Yi gave a shrug, "It doesn't matter what you say.
Anyway, I'm very satisfied with their performance this time.
Since I'm satisfied, of course I have to give them a satisfying reward.
Otherwise, who would be willing to work hard in the future? "
"That's right, but isn't a hundred gold coins per person too much?
Even the Chamber of Commerce in Anvilmar City would be able to reward their employees with ten gold coins each time. "Hannas couldn't help but sigh.
Hannas couldn't help sighing, "That's because your Anvilmar City companies are too stingy, it's not related to our New Flyer."
Xu Yi gave a soft snort and said in a voice filled with disdain, "Let me tell you, not only our New Flyer, if you ask around, even the smallest company in Banta City that earns less than five thousand gold coins a year, as long as their employees make any new technology, they will be given at least fifty gold coins as a reward."
"That exaggerated?" Hannas couldn't help but frown.
Hannas couldn't help knitting his brows, "Are your Banta City companies crazy?
What new technology ….. I've seen the new technology in the « Banta Times », it's at most some small adjustments.
What is so strange about that?
Does it need to be rewarded that much? "
Xu Yi looked at Hannas and shook his head, "So that means, Hannas, after leaving Banta City for a year, you can't keep up with the situation and are starting to fall behind.
As for the companies of Anvilmar City, they are even more behind. "
Hannas said in an unconvinced voice, "What?
Could it be that you mean that Anvilmar City can't compare to Banta City? "
Xu Yi and Samoyed Count looked at each other and revealed smiles at the same time.
Xu Yi pointed at the small notebook in front of Hannas and said, "What do you think ….. the Lord City Lord wants to build Banta City's image for?"
Hannas looked at Samoyed Count in a daze, but he found that Samoyed Count also had a faint smile. He didn't have any intention of explaining Xu Yi's words at all.
After being stunned, Hannas couldn't help praising in his heart.
If Samoyed Count's intention was to make Banta City surpass Anvilmar City to become the Lampari Kingdom's number one city, this was too ambitious.
But looking at Xu Yi's smile on the side, Hannas suddenly felt that.
This idea that seemed impossible, it seemed like ….. it really could be realized …..
