Chapter 326 Harvest

Sage Rosenthal moved swiftly.

The day after Link returned to the Academy's main world, the Academy sent him a notification asking how he would receive the three worlds.

Considering that Link's current strength and influence are insufficient to manage these three worlds, the Academy has offered to take over their management services.

Link would take a certain percentage of the output from the three worlds each year and hand it over to the Academy as a service fee in exchange for the Academy sending a professional team to these three worlds to implement the management policies set by Link.

Link readily agreed to the college's proposal.

As for management policies, Link did not easily change the management system left by the sage Rosenthal, following the established rules.

Unless Link has fully grasped the situation in these three worlds and has other needs.

There is only one thing that Link plans to push forward in the near future.

That is to prioritize promoting the "construct" system in worlds with a maximum of level 5 sages as their servant source.

The other two resource-based worlds will also be promoted, if the circumstances are right, after accumulating certain experience and technical team reserves.

As Link's plenipotentiary representative, Jasmine liaised with the Academy and oversaw the takeover of the three worlds.

Link stayed home, studying the detailed information about the three worlds sent by the Academy.

The focus is on the study of species and extraordinary systems of indigenous organisms from three worlds.

There are three theoretical sources of the power of "Constructs": first, the magic of the wizarding world; second, the innate abilities of extraordinary creatures; and third, other extraordinary systems.

Link has already put the first two into practice, while the latter is still in the design stage.

This is a good opportunity to put it into practice and see how it goes.

As for giving Flandre a world to reshape, it's not an empty promise, but it's not something that can be implemented in a short time.

This promise can only be fulfilled when Link's own strength and influence are sufficient to suppress at least one world with a maximum level of 5 transcendent beings.

Otherwise, not to mention the possible resistance from the world's native inhabitants, Link would be unable to cope with the covetousness of other wizards.

In this regard, Flandre behaved very sensibly and obediently, gladly accepting the arrangement to temporarily reside in the small world of the sea of ​​consciousness.

Cornelia was the same; she had no other thoughts.

Before classes resumed, Jasmine, accompanied by a special team sent by the college, completed the handover.

"Link, Link, you've struck it rich!"

As soon as they returned to the villa, Jasmine burst into the study, excitedly shouting.

"Get rich? Tell me more!"

Upon hearing this, Link, who was terrified of poverty, immediately put down the "construct" design he was working on and shifted his attention.

He's now quite interested in the fascinating magic stone.

"Those two resource-based worlds submit their profits quarterly. There are only a few days left before the scheduled submission time, and Sage Rosenthal has actually left all the materials that should have been submitted, which were piled up in the warehouse, to you. The team sent by the academy has assessed that they can be sold for about the price of six standard level three magic stones."

"College acquisition?"

"The college has acquired it!"

As she spoke, Jasmine's tone turned regretful: "If we had a channel, we could sell them on the market and perhaps earn more money."

Contentment brings happiness.

Link remained relatively calm about this.

There's nothing wrong with selling those supplies to the academy.

It's okay if the price is slightly lower than the market price, as long as you pay quickly.

Although the "small world" is missing a major resource consumer, the next gacha pull in the pay-to-win system still requires 10 standard level 3 magic stones.

Moreover, there is a main force regiment of 80 people that Link needs to fund and support.

Although Dean Forrest promised to equip the Grand Legion with a top-tier Sage-level interstellar fleet and magical artifacts after the last risky rescue of Ms. Lisandra, the Grand Legion's main force was still in danger.

However, the demand for magic stones is enormous in all aspects, including daily salaries, bases, equipment, fleet maintenance and consumption, training, and combat.

The income from the potions he had previously developed, the alchemy income that he could now develop, and the income from the "constructs" that were gradually starting to produce were not enough to support Link in raising a powerful main force!

It can only be said that the two resource-rich worlds left by the Sage Rosenthal for this quarter's output were a timely and much-needed help.

"Anything else?"

Jasmine remained excited.

"What else?"

Seeing this, Link became even more interested.

Jasmine is not easily swayed; anything that excites her more than six standard level-three magic stones is certainly more valuable.

"A corps of servants!"

Jasmine shouted in an overly loud voice, "A servant regiment that has completed its full training and meets the academy's standards for sale or lease!"

"real?"

Link was pleasantly surprised by this good news.

"real!"

As Jasmine spoke, she took out her personal smart device and projected the images she had filmed.

A legion of 3000 extraordinary warriors of various kinds appeared before Link in neat, orderly ranks and full of spirit.

Link has already studied the servant-based world that the Sage Rosenthal transferred to him.

The three extraordinary races that make up the legion are easily recognizable: elves, dwarves, and orcs.

Orcs are primarily melee fighters, dwarves excel at forging and using weapons, and elves are adept at ranged attacks and reconnaissance.

In a conventional sense, this was a very powerful corps of servants.

Link's half-finished "construct" is based on the characteristics of the three extraordinary races, and he is trying to design a set of armor that can be compatible with and better bring out the characteristics of the three extraordinary races.

He had originally planned to conduct further verification after completing the design.

Unexpectedly, there was a fully trained corps of servants waiting for Link to take over.

This is really... I was just dozing off when the pillow naturally landed behind my head.

"Great! That's wonderful!"

Thinking about this, Link also became excited.

"Right?"

Jasmine said happily, "With this vassal corps, your main force will be officially complete, and you won't need to buy or rent anymore. Not only will it save you a lot of money, but you also won't have to worry about the vassal corps not being easy to use."

Seeing that Jasmine said that, Link didn't explain his own thoughts, but continued the conversation by saying, "I just need to trouble you to take care of one more thing."

"snort!"

Upon hearing this, Jasmine pouted, "You're always dumping all the troublesome little things on me. Why don't we just rename the Grand Main Regiment the Kidman Main Regiment?"

"It's not that it's impossible, the key is that you're not me."

Link responded thoughtfully.

"I'm ignoring you now. I'm going to go and hand over the main force matters to Sandra and Lanny."

Upon hearing this, Jasmine blushed slightly, glared at Link, and left the study as if nothing had happened.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

No sooner had Jasmine left than Sandra sent a message saying she was on her way to Link's villa.

Link quickly got up, called Jasmine who had already arrived at her bedroom door, and they went downstairs together to greet her.

"Why did Sandra decide to come looking for you?"

Along the way, Jasmine asked in confusion.

"Well……"

Link thought for a moment and offered his guess, "Maybe she's running errands for her mother, Ms. Lissandra."

"The compensation for you?"

"It should be."

The two talked as they arrived at the entrance of the hall.

Even though they were still some distance from the villa gate, they remained silent.

For a wizard, having sharp hearing and eyesight is the most basic requirement.

Let alone a distance of ten meters, even hundreds of meters, one can hear a sound clearly without using witchcraft.

The villa's interior is equipped with soundproofing arrays that are always activated, but there are none in the courtyard.

Soon after, Sandra arrived.

The vehicle she was driving today was quite unfamiliar to Link; he had neither seen it in person nor seen any related pictures or videos.

The rich woman must have gotten another one of those custom-made cars, which is very likely the only one of its kind. She's incredibly extravagant.

Lanny and Tiffany appeared shortly after, walking behind Sandra towards the villa.

At some point, Lanny and Tiffany replaced Sandra's former "best friends."

Whenever the two had free time, Sandra would call them to her side to keep them company.

"Welcome, welcome..."

As the host, Link naturally had to show courtesy.

Unfortunately, Sandra, Lani, and Tiffany all ignored Link and walked around him, heading straight for Jasmine.

Okay, so he's holding a grudge!

And judging from the looks of it, it's highly likely that Sandra harbors resentment towards Link.

Otherwise, Lanny and Tiffany wouldn't have done that.

Link decided to skip the formalities and silently watched as Jasmine led the three girls into the villa's first-floor hall.

Following Jasmine's instructions, the smart butler promptly served tea and snacks.

The four girls then started chatting enthusiastically.

There were important matters, such as the handover of preparations for the Grand Main Regiment;

There are also trivial matters, such as which of the "Witch's Friend" perfumes recently promoted by Grand Pharmacy is more fragrant and easier to use.

Link sat quietly beside him, without saying a word.

After chatting for a long time, Sandra finally couldn't hold back any longer. She coughed lightly and glanced at Link.

Link met his gaze calmly.

If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear.

Let alone Sandra looking at him like that in front of Jasmine, even if Lanny and Tiffany were added, or even Iris, Link wouldn't be intimidated.

He wasn't afraid at all that Jasmine would kill him!

"Link, I want to know what you did to get my mother to ask me to deliver something to you."

Seeing that Link remained unmoved and fearless, Sandra took the initiative to speak, saying in a low voice, "You know, my mother hasn't given a man anything for over twenty years."

That's a very ambiguous statement.

Although Link believed that Jasmine wouldn't misunderstand, he didn't dare let Sandra continue talking like that, and said seriously, "At Dean Forrest's request, I did my part in saving Ms. Lissandra."

"Yeah?"

Sandra actually knew about this, but she was a little annoyed.

because……

"My mother is really generous."

The tone shifted abruptly, Sandra's voice growing increasingly soft, "I've given you even the best things I've been begging for for so long."

This sentence sounds familiar.

Link thought for a moment and remembered.

The laboratory that Dean Forrest donated last time also prompted Sandra's words.

This made Link quite curious about Ms. Lissandra's apology.

Therefore, he looked at Sandra with anticipation, waiting for her to say something next.

Sandra didn't keep you in suspense and said, "My mother has a team of AI repair technicians who are currently unemployed. If you can afford to support them, she can transfer them to you."

Link's heart skipped a beat.

Judging from this, it seems that the maintenance costs for this team are very high.

However, the main force of the starships does indeed need such a team to maintain the starships.

Does that mean he'll become poor again just because he's become a little richer?

Jasmine then very considerately inquired on his behalf, "How many magic stones are needed each month?"

"not much."

Sandra smiled gently, "The basic fee is only five standard level three magic stones per year."

"five……"

Jasmine opened her mouth, but didn't finish her sentence.

The base fee of five standard level 3 magic stones is a lot for Link and Jasmine.

For Sandra herself, it really wasn't much.

"Do you want?"

Sandra then said with a smile, "If you don't want it, I can take it."

"want!"

Link gritted his teeth and said decisively.

The province belongs to the province, and the flowers belong to the flowers.

A team of intelligent machine repair technicians capable of working under a Level 6 Sage is far more reliable than the repair services provided by the academy.

Five standard level 3 magic stones per year.

The two newly acquired resource-rich worlds can produce six standard level 3 magic stones per quarter.

At worst, we can just pretend there are only three quarters in a year.

"Really?"

Sandra wasn't surprised at all.

She already knew about the Sage Rosenthal's transfer of the three worlds to Link before she arrived.

They also know exactly how much output these two worlds produce, and that Link can afford the costs of this team.

So he didn't really want to steal the prize; he was just joking around and venting his frustration.

"Really?"

Link gave an affirmative answer again.

"Alright then."

Sandra stopped teasing and said, "Tell me where you're going to put this team, and I'll have them come and report for duty."

Link looked at Jasmine very naturally.

Jasmine glared at Link and replied, "Okay, I'll keep you informed."

After finishing that story, Sandra decisively changed the subject, looking at Link and asking, "My third uncle asked me to pass on a message to you."

"Speaking."

Link is looking forward to this.

"My third uncle said, once you've decided what you want, tell him as soon as possible."

"Okay, thank you."

Link seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.

Is something wrong?

After all, from expanding the main force regiment to equipping it with interstellar fleets and then to the android repair team, the style is consistent.

The group chatted for a while longer.

Sandra then left Link's villa with Lanny and Tiffany, who had barely spoken the whole time.

After seeing the three off, Link and Jasmine returned to the hall and sat down.

There was a moment of silence.

Jasmine asked, "Does the Dean have something else to assign you?"

"uncertain."

Link shook his head and replied in this way.

"How so?"

Jasmine asked with concern.

Link explained, "I still have two things to finish, how could I possibly have more work coming up so soon?"

Jasmine immediately understood, remembering that Link still had to team up with one of the witches of the Great Sage Michelle to participate in the selection of the High Council, and then go to support Iris Clark.

Thinking about it this way, there really are quite a few things to consider.

This chapter took a whole day to write.

I'll see how I feel tonight. If I'm in a good mood, I'll finish writing yesterday's chapter.

If not, I should feel better tomorrow and definitely make up for it.

I apologize again, everyone!
