Volume 2 Chapter 102 - Security regulations and increasing power (1/2)

“Hey, Akali, who made you angry?” Xu Yi immediately asked.

Akali looked up at Xu Yi and gave a snort, “It’s that bastard Schoch!”

“What happened with Schoch?” Xu Yi was a bit surprised.

Although Schoch had been cold to Xu Yi and even showed hostility, but he was very proper to other people and even was a gentleman to the girls, so why did Akali suddenly become so angry?

“He thinks he’s so great! I told him that the Sun Flame Array can’t take Wind Crystal Grass Essence because there would be problems with the conflicting attributes, but he wouldn’t listen and said he had to give it a try. In the end, once the Magic Array was activated, it exploded!” Akali angrily said.

Xu Yi was shocked,” Was someone hurt?”

“No one was.” Akali shook her head, “Everyone reacted fast enough and had time to protect themselves, so nothing happened. But the lab is in a mess from the explosion. I say that Schoch should fix his own problem and he dares talk back to me, saying that the lab belongs to everyone! Humph! I’m so angry!”

Hearing that no one was hurt, Xu Yi calmed down and said with a smile, “He’s right, the lab belongs to everyone and it’s normal for accidents to happen, so it’s right that everyone cleans up.”

Akali glared at him, “Sir chairman, then based on what you said, you think that he did nothing wrong?”

“I didn’t say that.” Xu Yi waved his hand, “Because of his mistake, the failed experiment has damaged the lab, so the losses will all fall onto him. According to the rules, the losses will be deducted from his next month’s salary.”

Hearing Xu Yi’s final words, Akali suddenly broke out in laughter.

“Ha, ha, let’s see if he dares act so arrogantly next time. Right, deduct his salary and let him know the seriousness of this matter!”

Seeing Akali’s face covered in schadenfreude, Xu Yi shook his head. When he was about to ask Akali about the research progress, there was a cold snort from behind them.

“Sir chairman, there are normally failures when it comes to magic research. If a researcher has to pay for the losses caused by their failure each time, does that mean that the researchers aren’t allowed to do new experiments and do the safest thing? If it’s like this, is there even a meaning for this research facility to exist?”

Xu Yi turned to see Schoch’s cold face and said with a serious look, “No, it’s the exact opposite. I very much encourage everyone to use their imagination and do all kinds of new experiments. But before this, my number one request is safety.”

“No one was hurt this time, so why are you punishing me?” Schoch wasn’t willing to give up.

“Because you hadn’t considered the consequences of your experiment failing. This time everyone reacted quickly and put up their guard, so nothing happened this time. If some people hadn’t guarded themselves or if the explosion from your experiment failing was a bit too big, without ways to protect themselves, what do you think would happen if people were hurt or even killed?” Xu Yi said with a serious expression.

Schoch didn’t have any words.

He indeed couldn’t guarantee that magic experiments would succeed each time, rather most of them ended in failure.

He also couldn’t guarantee that the destructive might would be in his area of control, so he couldn’t answer Xu Yi’s question at all.

Seeing that Schoch wasn’t speaking, Xu Yi ignored him. He asked Akali and after learning that Evita was in her personal lab, he headed over.

“Establishing security measures?” Evita looked at Xu Yi in surprise, “Chairman, most magic experiments will fail, this isn’t something strange, right?”

“Failure isn’t strange, but I will not permit anyone being hurt or killed by these failures. Each magician, each staff member is precious, so if someone were to be injured or die from a failed experiment, I can’t accept this loss.” Xu Yi had a serious expression, not looking like he was joking at all, “For example, Evita, if you were injured from an experiment failing and it left a scar on your face, that is a loss that can’t be recovered because wouldn’t it ruin your beautiful face?”

Evita’s face was covered in a blush, “Chairman, you think that I’m beautiful?”

Xu Yi was surprised before he naturally responded, “Of course you’re beautiful, isn’t this easily seen?”

Evita’s blush became even darker and she lowered her head as she said in a low voice, “Alright, since it’s the chairman’s request, then we’ll set the security measures. But how should they be set?”

“I don’t care how they are set. Evita, you are the chief of the magic research facility, so you should make that decision. In short, my request is that when a researcher is performing an experiment, they have to pay attention to their own safety first.” Xu Yi said.

Seeing Evita keep her head down, Xu Yi thought it was because she lacked confidence, so he comforted her, “Evita, you are the most careful girl I’ve seen and you always consider every part of the issue. I believe that you will definitely be able to do this.”

Xu Yi didn’t see that Evita’s lowered face turned completely red, he just heard her give a soft un sound.

After he finished talking about the security measures matter, Xu Yi looked at the situation of the lab and asked about the magic research facility’s current progress.

When speaking of research, Evita gradually calmed down and began telling Xu Yi about their progress during this time.

Following Xu Yi’s request, the magic research facility had been recently researching how to increase the power of various magic machines.

Take the small Magic Harvester. Before there was a Third Grade Wind Magic Array drawn inside, the Wild Wind Array.

With the power of this Magic Array, it was enough to satisfy the needs of the small Magic Harvester.
