Thea had already thoroughly become a female doctor over the past year.
Upon hearing the news, she was deeply interested.
"Father, the achievements of this group of researchers from the Truth Council are the most cutting-edge technology of wizard civilization, right?"
"That’s correct. The director of the Star Sea First Research Institute also has new results this time."
"That’s the great scholar who researched the Magic Net a few years ago, a strongman at the Third Tier Legendary level, a reservist of the Supreme Council, a very impressive person."
The appearance of the Magic Net was a revolutionary change for wizard civilization.
It offered great strategic depth, a comprehensive improvement for communication and exploration technologies, and according to current developments, it was enough to go down in history.
Whereas Lin Suo’s research was more oriented towards lower levels, improving the lives of ordinary people, Electromagnetic System Witchcraft was also a way to raise the lower limit for Wizards, slightly less valuable, but not by much.
The father and daughter whispered to each other, sitting at the end of the Star Sea First Research Institute’s area.
Can’t be helped, being a newcomer with no status is quite normal.
Not to mention that most of the big shots from the First Research Institute were in charge and most of them were Legendary Wizards.
Right then, a middle-aged man came over and sat to the left of Lin Suo, greeting him with a very familiar manner.
"Mr. Nick, good evening."
Nick Raffles, a peak Ninth Ring Wizard just over a hundred years old – before Lin Suo became famous, he was the youngest grand scholar at the end of the First Research Institute.
It’s also a kind of fate.
Magic Guns are the most representative work of Nick Raffles, raising the lower limit for Apprentice Level and Lower Grade Wizards.
His recent research topic was Witchcraft Bullets.
As the name implies, it compresses witchcraft into a single bullet, and even a common person could unleash the power of a formal Wizard’s casting, not only for use in the military but also for Pioneers and Slaves.
A project to raise overall strength.
With the talent of Nick Raffles, had he not been obsessed with various kinds of knowledge, having researched the core knowledge of many different civilizations, he could have broken through to Legendary level long ago.
Even so, he was not far from breaking through, a true genius, fundamentally different from someone like Lin Suo playing with an advantage.
Because Lin Suo had replaced his position.
He had attracted the attention of the people behind the previous criticisms levied against him, relaxing for a year, so he was quite friendly towards Lin Suo, discovering later that Lin Suo was also developing a sniper-type firearm.
They became even more familiar with each other, and the two became friends.
"Rhein, I heard you applied for a bunch of stuff unrelated to research, even if you avoid the inspectors, you’ll be in trouble if you can’t produce reliable results at the exhibition event, are you prepared?"
"Don’t worry, you should prepare your own stuff."
"Hahaha, looks like you’re quite sure of yourself, did you prepare in advance?"
Nick suddenly leaned in and whispered a few words.
Lin Suo looked at him in surprise.
"How could that be, as the leading figure of Electromagnetic System Witchcraft, I had already given my all during the tests at the beginning of the year, otherwise, I wouldn’t have the status I have now, I’m not the kind of person who likes to hold back."
"That could be bad news then, Rhein."
Nick’s smile was beaming, but the words that came from his mouth and his expressions didn’t match at all; he was sly.
Obviously, he had done the same, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so sure of Lin Suo’s move.
Lin Suo heard Nick’s voice inside his heart, the Sound Transmission Skill, a little trick～
"I pocketed three billion, how much did you pocket?"
Lin Suo was astonished, puzzled, and confused, then his expression became righteous and stern.
"Is that something you can say? Are you trying to probe me?"
He transmitted back silently.
"Nick, I didn’t expect you to be that kind of person; aren’t you afraid I’ll report you to the Truth Council?"
"Hahahahaha, good, looks like you’ll be able to sit in this position for many more years."
After saying that, Nick Raffles returned to his own thoughts and no longer interacted with Lin Suo.
He had apparently tested and gotten the answer he wanted.
After some contemplation, Lin Suo also showed a smile, but Thea sitting beside him was completely puzzled, not understanding the silent riddles they played.
The annual Scientific Research Exhibition Event was about to begin.
People were taking their seats one after another.
Because of the prestigious status of the First Research Institute, Lin Suo, despite being at the end, the person to the right of Thea, and to Thea’s further right, was the Chief Scholar from the Second Research Institute.
An old Elf Clan, Legendary Strongman...
He seemed to be quite annoyed.
Lin Suo touched his nose, feeling the pressure come to him; confident as he was, being watched by these old scholars did put some psychological pressure on him.
After all, he was still very weak in hard power, so feeling slightly insecure was normal.
Apart from the situation at his end.
The major research institutes were generally in a state of rivalry; Lin Suo had sharp eyes and spotted today’s target.
The newly emerged Legendary Major from the Fire King Family and his favored junior.
Judging from their appearance and seating order, the junior from his family should be a member of the Fifth Research Institute, responsible for reporting on some achievement.
"As expected, they came, it seems that they have discovered the truth of that year."
Lin Suo narrowed his eyes, a myriad of thoughts in his heart.
Just the transaction of a task swap and a Level Four Starship weren’t enough to make the Major personally come to the exhibition event to target him, only if he had discovered the truth of the case he was blamed for.
Sometimes, hatred can drive the changes of the human heart more than interests can.
Never mind that he had become a Direct Lineage of the Truth Council, even if he had become the son-in-law of the Golden Chairman, he would dare to strike, showing up at the exhibition event was a good thing to Lin Suo.
Because this indicated that the Major intended to kill him within the rules, most likely having obtained proof that he "colluded with Demons," seeking revenge for the death of his older brother.
