Chapter 221: Successfully Kidnapping a Group of Treasures! (5k) (Extra Update 11)_2
Exile a level ten person?
A mere underling?
No problem, this underling is no more than a dog of the Moon Goddess, or even merely a dog of the Eldest Prince.
Considering that there is also a Dominator Level existence behind Lin Ke, and Lin Ke is full of potential and can help him solve a difficult problem...
The Mr. Noble raised his arm and pointed at the Minister of Supervision, looking indifferent: "Identity revoked, exiled a thousand miles!"
As his words fell, the Minister of Supervision only had time to let out a screech: "You puny god, how dare you…?" In this situation, the Minister of Supervision, who originally held some dread towards Mr. Noble, revealed his true colors.
With the Moon Goddess backing him, he seemed to fear nothing!
However, before the Minister of Supervision finished speaking, Mr. Noble's gaze chilled at the words "puny god": "...Exiled ten thousand miles!"
Thus, the Minister of Supervision's body turned into a blur and vanished, just like the Green Water Python disappearing in front of Lin Ke before.
After the Minister of Supervision vanished, Lady Juli River couldn't help but change her expression slightly: "Uh... Count Lin Ke, the Minister of Supervision is responsible for overseeing everything at the research institute, often having more authority than the director... why don't we go back and apologize to him, I'll take all the blame..."
"It's fine, by next month he won't be around," Lin Ke waved dismissively: "Now, let's talk about you all."
"Us?" Lady Juli River seemed to have just remembered this instance: "Right, Mr. Lin Ke, we heard from Laplace about your talent and intended to invite you to join the Mathematics School of the Institute. We didn't expect..."
Didn't expect Count Lin Ke to be so bold...
"Join the Institute? No need." Lin Ke used to think the Gula Royal Research Institute was good, but now it seemed only average.
Many research institutes, the same as in my past life, set their research goals on "usefulness," "meaning," or "economic value."
But there are some institutes purely driven by "passion" and "curiosity."
For instance, someone proposed the seemingly pointless question, "How many times does a wet dog need to shake to get dry?" and such subjects might not get funding in some institutes, deemed meaningless and a waste of money.
However, at some point later, this research found application in the spin cycles of washing machines.
That's curiosity and interest!
With curiosity and interest, if coupled with the courage to explore, it might eventually lead to research outcomes, though they may not be immediately useful.
The Gula Royal Research Institute's research orientation focuses on "whether it can enhance power" as the goal.
And Lin Ke, although he isn't wealthy enough to "follow interests," he is still willing to support many small-scale research projects, no matter how pointless or meaningless.
As long as I'm able, I must support them.
The progress of human civilization is often driven by these "pointless," "meaningless," "valueless" research outcomes.
"Rather than joining that research institute, why not unite with our Great Wilderness Research Institute?" Lin Ke earnestly invited and motioned for the mathematicians to sit down.
He also drove out those servants, who seemed to serve the Minister of Supervision rather than the mathematicians.
"This..." Lady Juli River was baffled by Lin Ke's actions.
They came to invite Lin Ke to join the Gula Research Institute, so how did it turn into Lin Ke inviting them instead?
"The five million you owe, I'll have Rica return the money... no, I'll directly give ten million, that should shut them up." Lin Ke warmly invited the mathematicians to sit: "Come, come, let's talk about mathematics properly."
Ten million!?
Not only the mathematicians were astonished, but even Mr. Noble was taken aback.
He had been mingling in various noble gatherings for many years, earning "appearance fees".
But even now, his net worth is just several tens of millions.
This was due to his old age.
Like Ove, the kind who works behind closed doors, might even struggle to come up with a hundred gold coins.
This Count Lin Ke...ten million?
And the mathematicians were even more shocked than Mr. Noble.
Only those who have experienced poverty know what a certain amount of gold coins represent.
For example, ten million gold coins equals one billion copper coins, which equals one billion black bread loaves, or two hundred million clothes, etc.
Most of them were adopted children, raised step by step by foster parents and then handed over to the institute, which assigned them to the Mathematics School, cultivated by Lady Juli River.
Of course, they weren't short of math talents found everywhere, who eventually came to the institute to become members of the Mathematics School.
But the Mathematics School is in decline!
They can't beat others, like the Elemental School or the Bloodline School; they can't argue with others, like the Idealist School or the Materialist School.
Unable to achieve anything, naturally, they are looked down upon, so those with connections went to other schools, leaving orphans arranged into the Mathematics School.
Most of them are from humble backgrounds, saving money to buy paper and pens, tools, and are not accustomed to such wealth.
"I...I...I..." Lady Juli River was stunned and couldn't speak: "But...but..."
"No worries, Lady Juli River, His Majesty Insomnia will agree to my request," Lin Ke assured them: "And here, don't ever worry about money for your research, just research whatever you like. Just report it and document it."
