Volume 5 Chapter 132 We need a specialist
Xu Yi took the notebook and opened it, looking at the title on the first page.
“Basic Magic Machine Theory.”
The words underneath that were describing the most basic, but also most fundamental magic machine theory.
Evita had been writing all the basic theories in this book, also making it very easy to understand. Even someone who has never touched magic machines before could have some basic understanding of magic machines from reading this book.
But it could be seen that the writing was focused on the effects of Magic Arrays on the machines, only involving a bit of magic mechanical engineering knowledge.
To put it simply, this was a basic reference book for magic power and it was a bit different from a basic theory on magic machines.
This was not a surprise to Xu Yi, when he had Evita compile this basic theory on magic machines, he had requested that she focus on the aspect of the power provided to magic machines by Magic Arrays. As for the mechanical side, Xu Yi would be personally writing it, working with Camby and the others.
Xu Yi roughly looked over it and found that Evita didn’t disappoint him. Not only did she not make any obvious errors, there were even some fine tuning, explaining things better than he had thought.
“Very good, Evita, I’ve found that with your current theoretical knowledge in Magic Arrays, you aren’t inferior to me and won’t be inferior to any other magicians in this world.”
“You’re too exaggerated.” Evita revealed an awkward smile. After thinking about it, she asked, “Sir chairman, are you really planning on publicly distributing the book?”
“That’s right.” Xu Yi closed the book, “This book is the entry book that I’ve prepared for those that want to enter the magic machine industry, it will guarantee that anyone who reads it will have a certain understanding and interest towards the magic machine industry. I don’t just want to distribute it publicly, I want to advertise it and let everyone know of its existence, so they would buy it and read it.”
After saying this, Xu YI suddenly gave a laugh to Evita, “Evita, I am certain that when this book sells well, as one of the writers, you want your name to be listed in one of the top spots, right?”
“Ah?” Evita was stunned, “Sir chairman, shouldn’t this book be published in your name?”
“Do you think I’m someone who steals the fruits of labour from others?” Xu Yi deliberately knitted his brows and reprimanded her in a dissatisfied voice, “Actually, if it wasn’t for considering how to advertise it, I wouldn’t even put my name on it because I don’t want to use this book to elevate my fame, alright?”
“But I don’t want to become famous either……” Evita replied.
“No, Evita, you will become famous and you have to become very famous.” Xu Yi took Evita by the shoulder and said with a serious look, “Remember, you are the chief of our Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s magic research facility. In the magic machine industry you are an outstanding specialist. There is no one who is more outstanding than you in the entire industry, so you have to have this confidence. Do you understand what I mean?”
“I don’t really understand. If we’re comparing research into magic machines, I’m far from being able to compare to sir chairman.”
“Don’t compare to me, my main status is the chairman of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.” Xu Yi shook his head, “Or to put it more straightforward, we need a specialist to come out. I as the chairman am not suited for this, Camby’s group aren’t humans, so they also aren’t suited. The most suitable choice is you.”
“If it’s like this, I feel that Akali is very suitable as well.”
“But Akali isn’t the chief, you are.” Xu Yi said with a serious look, “In short, follow my arrangement, alright?”
Evita was silent for a bit before giving a nod, “Alright, sir chairman.”
Hearing Evita’s response, Xu Yi revealed a smile. He patted Evita’s shoulder and comforted her, “Don’t worry about Akali not being happy, I’ve planned something else for her. Comparing it, she would prefer doing the other thing.”
“Un, I believe you, sir chairman.”
Seeing how relaxed Xu Yi was, Evita gave a laugh, “Sir chairman, actually you don’t need to worry about our feelings. We are your subordinates, of course we’ll follow your arrangements.”
Xu Yi shook his head, “No, I’ve never treated you guys as normal subordinates. Even if it wasn’t for Still, just me alone cannot ignore your feelings.”
“Is that so?” Evita was a bit surprised. She looked at the entrance of the lab before suddenly giving a sigh, “But what are you planning to do with Teresa?”
Xu Yi looked out the door and narrowed his eyes, not saying a word.

Marquis Southgate and Russell both left quite quickly, but even with how much Princess Caroline wanted to head back to the Drake Duchy before, she was very happy to stay. She stayed by Xu Yi’s side all day, almost never leaving him.
The production magic machine cooperation idea Xu Yi told her for the Drake Duchy had greatly captivated her interest.
There were many magic machine companies in the surrounding countries, but other than the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, all the other companies produced household magic machines and not a single one could produce production magic machines.
