Chapter 23 Harold: It’s okay, I’ll help

Harold felt that he was much busier after the time travel than before. This month he was either studying or meeting various people to pave the way for his research.

Harold put away the invitation letter handed over by Zacharias. He was not in a hurry to meet Nafis. He wanted to visit Kavi first to deliver the gift and then ask about the progress of the society.

Harold came to Kavi's house and knocked on the door.

The door opened quickly, and when Kavi saw Harold, his gloomy expression disappeared, and he smiled in surprise: "Young Master Harold, you are back? Have you found suitable land in Zen Garden?"

The message Harold left to Cave stated that he was going to the Zen Garden to look for a suitable piece of land.

"No, the plants there... well... are a bit too free, so I went to Huachengguo and rented a piece of land," Harold thought for a moment and used the word "free". He originally wanted to say that the other scholars at Amyrido College didn't know how to manage the experimental fields at all, but this was a bit too hateful.

Kavi was very happy that Haroldt's research had made new progress. Haroldt also told Kavi about his application for research funds from Azar, and Kavi exclaimed in shock.

"Really? You succeeded?! No one has been able to apply for funding directly from the Great Sage for three years. Everyone in the Order of the Lords is saying that the current Great Sage wants to cut off this channel and is deliberately refusing to approve funding. I didn't expect you to succeed. Harold, you are amazing!"

"Thanks to you, Senior," Harold took the opportunity to hand the gift box to Kavi, "I bought you a gift to thank you for your help."

"But I don't seem to be of much help," Kavi was embarrassed to reach out to take it, "...Did the advice I gave you that day really help you?"

"It helped," Harold said confidently, grabbing Kavi's wrist and stuffing the thing into his hand.

"Really? I'll take this then," Kavi smiled delightedly when he heard Haroldt say that, and put the thing into his pocket very carefully. Even after he took his hand out, he couldn't help but pat his pocket to make sure that the hard little square box was lying safely in his pocket.

"Senior Kavi, how are your preparations for the society going? Have the personnel been confirmed?" Harold asked.

When he said this, Kawi's face was full of worry, and even the little tufts of hair on the side of his face drooped down: "No, there are too many people. This is obviously an unpopular topic, why are there so many people?

And they all have their reasons for joining, I really don't want to reject them, I'm thinking of talking to El Haisen again, or we should not borrow his house, let me rent a house as a venue, so that I can let everyone join our society, and I will pay for the rent. "

He was really worried, and he didn't know what the great sage was thinking recently. He suddenly cut the funds allocated to Sahavala College by a quarter.

Originally, the funding of the Miaolun School was the least among the six major colleges, and now it has been reduced by another quarter. Many of his younger classmates are very distressed, worried that they will not be able to apply for research funds and will not be able to proceed with their projects.

So recently several junior students have approached him and asked him to give them suggestions for revisions to their works. Kavi thinks their ideas are all good and that as long as some minor optimizations are made, there is a chance that they will pass the review.

Kavi tried his best to help them optimize their work without modifying their core design, which was a very laborious task. Coupled with the problems of the stubborn client and the society staff, he stayed up late to draw for two days in a row.

"Why do you have to join?" Haroldt keenly caught the key words and asked curiously, "What are the reasons?"

Kavi: "Take Abbas for example. He is just one step away from graduation. He wants to join our society to complete his graduation thesis..."

In fact, he just wanted to get into the academy and copy some research results because he couldn't write a paper himself, Harold thought.

Qavi: "And Ahmed, he is also a special student, he has been waiting for a suitable subject..."

This is the kind of person, Harold thought to himself. There are quite a lot of them in the College of the Decrees. Because of the Void, many people don't even want to think of a topic on their own. They just sit and wait in the academy, waiting for others to submit topics and then apply to join.

As long as they add their names to the topic, they can complete the teaching hours assigned by the Institute of Teaching. Even if the Institute of Teaching has issued a series of new policies in this regard, such as deciding the authorship based on the contribution to the topic, and scholars who join after a certain number of people cannot receive topic rewards even if they complete the topic, it will still be of no avail.

There are too many scholars in the Academy who like to sit around and wait for others to feed them, so they just bully the kind-hearted senior Kavi. They all know that senior Kavi can't stand soft words.

What a bunch of scum, they even take advantage of a little angel like Kavi, they have no humanity at all!

Kavi: "And Camille..."

"Senior Kawi," Harold had to interrupt Kawi's retelling and said seriously, "But you promised Senior Elhaisen that we can only have two more members at most."

"Yes, I promised him," Kavi said very tiredly, "I was too careless at the time. I actually decided on the number of people with Elhaisen without knowing the society, and filled the number into the void. Now there is no way to modify it."

Harold: That's great. Thank you for the rule that no changes can be made once the number of members in a society has been reported by the Council of Decrees.

Kawi said dejectedly: "The only remedy I can think of is to rent a big house, so that when we carry out activities, everyone can come and discuss research with us, and I can help them... What can I do? We only have one spot now."

"Huh? There is only one spot? Senior Kavi, have you found another member in the past few days?" Harold asked.

Kavi nodded and said, "It's like this. I just reported the number of people to the void, and Miss Setale came to me. She is a desert person and is very interested in the Red King. She is also our senior, so I agreed immediately."

Harold: Wait, who are you talking about?

Setare?!

Is that Setare? !

Isn't she Azar's assistant?

Harold remembered her. In the main storyline of Xumi, she was Azar's little follower. She appeared with Azar in the Zubair Theater to denounce Nilu and others who celebrated the birthday of the little grass god.

Later, the grass god took advantage of her inner guilt to turn her against the government. After Azar fell, she resigned from her job at the House of the Order and returned to the desert to teach, trying to change the current situation of illiteracy among all the people in the desert.

But now, Elhaisen is still a minor, so why did Setare show up? Is she going to join Kavi's society?

Harold was very sure that this part did not exist in the game, and Setare did not have such a strong belief in the Red King. What she valued was only her identity as a desert person. In her opinion, as long as they were desert people, they were her compatriots, and it had nothing to do with whether they believed in the Red King or not.

Compared to the Red King, Harold felt that the study on improving land desertification submitted by Awen next door would attract more attention from Setale.

Harold dared to assert this because he knew Setale very well. If you ask why, it's because he is a card player who likes to hang out in the Cat's Tail Tavern and play the Seven Summonings.

Setale, one of the core support cards of the Thunder Wolves, can be played by spending one elemental dice. Effect: draw a card when the number of cards in hand is 0, can be used 3 times, and everyone who has used it says it is good.

Because of the existence of this card, Harold paid special attention to this sage assistant when he was going through the main storyline. It can be said that he remembered almost every line of Setare (although there were only a few lines in total).

So the question is, why would Setare contact Kavi and Alhaisen during this time? Could she be sent by Azar to spy on me?

Does Hazard have this IQ?

I'm not looking down on Hazard. I mean, he's not mentally retarded, but he's certainly not very smart.

Kavi continued, "You don't have to worry about her abilities. When Senior Setare was still studying at the Academy of the Holy Orders, she was a famous academic genius at the Ridovandi Academy. She has made great achievements in astronomy and can help us decipher some records about astrology in ancient books.

She is really optimistic about our project. Harold, you know, she is the current Sage Assistant. She contacted me almost immediately after I reported the number of personnel to the Void. I thought she was quite suitable, so I took the initiative to let her join. "

So impatient? Even more suspicious.

Harold thought.

But if she was really sent by Azar to investigate him, then let her investigate. Anyway, he was in the society of Kavi just for research.

Thinking of this, Harold replied, "I believe in Senior Kavi's vision. There are many records about celestial phenomena in the ancient books of Xumi. These records were made during rituals to predict good or bad luck. But now we can use these records to calculate the time when certain historical events occurred. Senior Setare is a leader in this field. Her joining will definitely be of great help to our research."

"Do you really think so? That's great," Kavi breathed a sigh of relief, as if many of the frustrations that had accumulated recently had been resolved.

"And about the last member of our group, if Senior Kavi can't make a decision, can I decide on the last candidate?" Harold suggested.

"No, how can I let you do such a thing?" Kavi refused. He knew that finalizing the candidates for the society was actually very offensive, and Haroldt could not be allowed to do such a thing.

"But Senior Kavi has already chosen someone, so the second chance to choose should be given to me or Senior Elhaisen, right? Do you want to monopolize the right to choose the last member?" Harold said half-jokingly.

Kavi became a little embarrassed: "I haven't thought about it this way. If you really want to experience the process of selecting members, I am certainly willing to give you this opportunity..."

"That's great, Senior!"

Without waiting for Kavi to say the word "but", Harold quickly grabbed Kavi's hands and said happily: "This is the first time I have the opportunity to interview someone! In the past, others always picked me, but now it's finally my turn to pick others! I must design some super difficult questions to make things difficult for those people!

I would ask, 'Why did you choose our society? ', 'What contributions did you make in the previous society? ', 'What are your strengths and weaknesses? '

And I must ask at the end, 'A sheep has four legs, how many legs do ten sheep have? ', and then eliminate all the scholars who answer 'forty legs'!"

Haroldt recalled the various rubbish interview questions he encountered during his job search in his previous life, and he got right into the act, grinning like a Soul Hall elder.

Kavi was confused. "I understand the above, but why did we eliminate the scholars who answered 'forty legs'? Don't ten sheep have a total of forty legs?"

Harold: "The answer is not important, Senior Kawi. What is important is that he answered 'forty legs', which means he is oversimplifying the problem. People with this kind of thinking are not suitable to join our society."

Harold's explanation convinced Kavi, and he began to think seriously about the problem: "Indeed, I thought too simply. There should be more than one answer to this question. What if there is a lame sheep among them?"

"Then my second step is to eliminate all the scholars who ask me, 'Is there a lame sheep among them?'" said Haroldt.

"Ah? Why?!" Kavi asked in surprise.

"Because those who ask this question are most likely those who heard the interview questions from scholars who were eliminated earlier," Harold spread his hands innocently. "People who like to play tricks like this will affect the cohesion of our team and will change the atmosphere of our team."

Kavi thought about this question, frowning and being coy. Finally, he sighed and said, "I give up, little brother Harold. Please tell me, what is the correct answer to this question?"

Hehe, even senior Kavi was stumped.

This is the beauty of garbage interview questions. The final right of interpretation is mine. As long as I want, even Brother Hai or Zhenliyi’s father can eliminate you.

"Senior Kavi, let me keep you in suspense. I won't tell you now. I will tell you the answer after I finalize the last member," Harold said with a smile.

"Can't you really tell me the answer in advance? I'm really curious. Tell me, and I promise I will never tell anyone else," Kavi said persistently.

"Senior, you don't need to promise anything. I believe in your character very much, but I still want to save the answer until the end," said Haroldt.

And he himself didn't know how to answer this rubbish question.

He was the one who was eliminated because of this issue.

In his eyes, no matter who the devil is, 4x10 is still equal to 40. Ten sheep have forty legs. There is no other answer.

But he could listen to what other scholars said during the interview and copy down a reasonable answer for dear senior Kawi, as he seemed really curious about the answer.

"Okay," Kavi scratched his head. Since Harold insisted, he would not insist on this issue.

Harold: "Then leave the selection to me. Don't worry, I will solve this problem quickly."

Please rest assured, Senior Kawi, I will quickly deal with all those rubbish people, they are the problem.

"Then I'll leave it to you. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to come to me."

Kavi was silent for a moment, then could not help but remind him, "Also, be as tactful as possible when rejecting others. Some scholars in the Faculty are very fragile. If you reject them too bluntly, they will be sad for a long time."

Harold nodded repeatedly, indicating that he knew what to do.

Kaveko reminded him that he would definitely continue to show his ability in the interview so that those with fragile hearts would avoid him next time they see him.
