Chapter 216 Recruiting Six Assistants

Chapter 216 Recruiting Six Assistants

The first person to come in was a female second-class wizard apprentice. She handed her information to Locke and the other three, and looked very nervous.

Locke glanced at her information and didn’t say anything, but Aisi had already spoken to her in great dissatisfaction.

“We are looking to recruit second-class wizard apprentices who have experience in potion clinical trials. Your information only includes experience working in two small potion shops. What use is that?”

“What a waste of our three potion masters’ time.”

Next, no matter how the female second-class wizard apprentice explained and demonstrated her confidence in completing the third phase of the experiment, Aisi did not give her the opportunity.

But Locke and Angelo didn’t care.

Anyway, hiring some experienced second-class wizard apprentices does make things much easier. Otherwise, it would take a while just to teach these second-class wizard apprentices.

They recruited assistants to save themselves time and energy, not to pay them to teach these second-class wizard apprentices.

Next, fifteen second-class wizard apprentices came in for interviews and introduced themselves.

Angelo and Aisi, especially Aisi, are very demanding in selecting assistants.

Among these sixteen second-class wizard apprentices, she only selected three second-class wizard apprentices who had done clinical trials of potions and met their recruitment requirements.

The other second-class wizard apprentices who wanted to come to learn or try their luck were immediately kicked out by her.

According to Aisi, their project is a typical popular project. Even the top management of the academy is paying attention to it. There is no need to worry about not being able to recruit qualified second-class wizard apprentices.

After all, for those second-class wizard apprentices, joining them is itself a kind of honor and qualification.

Soon, someone pushed the door open again. This time, Locke was surprised to see that the person who pushed the door open was actually his friend Pierre, who was a third-class wizard apprentice.

Locke glanced at Angel and Aisi, then took the initiative to speak, revealing his acquaintance with Pierre. “Pierre? Why are you here?”

When Pierre saw Locke, his eyes lit up, but when he looked up and saw Angel and Aisi, he immediately lowered his head again, his heart filled with tension and pressure.

After all, there was not only Locke, whom he was familiar with, but also two first-class wizard apprentices whom he had never seen before, but who looked very serious and worked very hard.

“Hello, Potion Master Luo… Augustine. I’m here to apply for the assistant position.” Pierre said nervously and stutteringly, “Three great Potion Masters, I’d like to apply for this position.”

“Although I don’t have relevant work experience, I am very careful and conscientious in my work and will definitely do a good job.”

Elsie glanced at Angelou, then at Locke. Seeing that Locke didn’t react, Elsie rarely smiled. She said to Pierre, “Well, you have confidence. That’s good.”

“This is a relatively rare quality. Confidence and a sense of responsibility are both important qualities for getting the job done well. But can you take on the responsibility of collaborating with others to complete the animal experiments on the Bear Spirit Green Gallbladder Potion?”

Locke glanced at Aisi. He understood why Aisi made such arrangements, because the animal experiment of the Bear Spirit Green Gall Potion had been confirmed to be done by a very experienced second-class wizard apprentice in the previous recruitment.

If they recruited Pierre, they could let the second-class wizard apprentice guide Pierre, saving them the energy of repeatedly teaching Pierre.

Pierre was extremely nervous. “Yes… yes… I have the confidence.”

Ai Xi smiled. “Very good, then you’re accepted.”

“Angel, Locke, you have no objection, right?”

Locke naturally had no objection, and Angelo nodded. Since they had to hire six second-class wizard apprentices anyway, it wouldn’t affect the situation if they hired one inexperienced second-class wizard apprentice.

Moreover, this second-class wizard apprentice is very familiar with Locke and is a reliable person. Just letting him supervise the direction of animal experiments and prevent others from embezzling funds is a good choice.

Sometimes, among the assistants, we also need someone who is not very capable but reliable enough to control some details and monitor the progress.

After Pierre left, Locke and others interviewed six more people, and finally determined the last two second-class wizard apprentices and signed contracts with these people. Today’s recruitment activity was officially over.

Locke divided the information between Angel and Aisi and said, “I have some things to do recently, so I’ll ask you two to help me keep an eye on this project.”

“You must remember to hold a team meeting every two weeks to discuss this with the six second-class wizard apprentices.” Locke said, “These second-class wizard apprentices will each receive 60 magic stones from us every month. I can pay for this part of the money in full.”

Angelo and Aisi quickly said that they could also share the monthly expenditure of 360 magic stones with Locke.

But Locke refused. After all, only if he paid for it could he have full control over the entire project team. Otherwise, Angelo and Aisi would be his partners. But now, in fact, they were almost the same as the six second-class wizard apprentices. They were just employees hired by him to complete the third phase of the test of the Bear Spirit Green Gall Potion.

It’s just that they are of a higher level.

Moreover, spending 360 magic stones every month and hiring six second-class wizard apprentices to work half of their time in a day is not a loss.

At the moment, I can still afford this amount of money.

The Bear Spirit Green Gallbladder Potion has a wide range of therapeutic applications. Completing its third phase of testing will require considerable manpower, and the current staffing may not be sufficient. However, if completed, the future benefits will undoubtedly be enormous, significantly aiding in the substantial resources needed to achieve the breakthrough to a full-fledged wizard.

Locke said, “As for the funding, I will leave 500 magic stones with you first, and you two will help me distribute the funds to the six of them.”

“Five hundred magic stones should be enough to cover all the expenses needed for the mortal and animal experiments. The experiments on the wizard apprentices will be assisted by the Healing Hands Clinic, so this part won’t cost much either.”

Angelo and Aisi nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Now it is Locke who is providing money, ideas, and research materials. Locke is in a position similar to that of their mentor in the research group and has the say.

But the two had no objections because the entire project was originally initiated by Locke.

Angelo assured Locke, “Don’t worry, Locke. Aisi and I will help you keep an eye on the funds and allocate them reasonably.”

He didn’t ask Locke what he was going to do. After all, this was a sensitive issue. First-class wizard apprentices all had their own things to do, so there was no need for him to ask.

If Locke wanted to tell him, he would tell them.

Aisi also patted his chest and assured Locke.

After giving the instructions, Locke hurriedly left the office and handed the follow-up work to Angelo and Aisi.

During this period, they each published a B-level article based on the Bear Spirit Green Gall Potion, but because Locke was busy with biological bloodline transformation, he only published two B-level articles related to the Bear Spirit Green Gall Potion.

As a result, he currently has a total of 13 B-level articles and 2 A-level articles.

He is currently almost at the middle level of first-class wizard apprentices, and is even developing towards the top level of first-class wizard apprentices.

After Locke left the office he rented in the job market, he went straight to the direction of the sketch shops opened by the wizard apprentices of the Illusion School. There were many sketch artists there.

Locke walked into a gallery, knocked on the open door, and shouted into the back of the gallery, “Is anyone there? I want to hire a speed painter for a month.”

The reason why it takes a month is because the building that the sketch artist is asked to survey this time is the Curse Ritual Research Institute.

In order to prevent the sketch artist from revealing their plan to others, Locke decided to hire him directly for one month.

After he completed his one-month mission, his undercover decapitation operation was over.

Anyway, his personal pharmacist and plantation did need a speed painter to help him draw the appearance of the various magical plants and potions he cultivated.

This is a preservation measure.

When certain magical plants and potions are lost, they can be re-cultivated or formulated based on the preserved information.

Although it is a job that can be done or not, it is a good choice to use it as a cover.
