Master of Ten Thousand Foxes

"Expert Bai Mo is a very meticulous person.

"His scientific attitude is beyond reproach.

"However... some assertions he used in the article seem to belong to unverified claims?

"Just like Goldbach's conjecture, we all know it might be correct, but actually, no one can prove it.

"Expert Bai Mo also used such unverified theories, employing them from his own... intuition?

"These intuitions probably aren't easy to verify anytime soon.

"It's like... it's like..."

Hua Yuyue gave his subjective feelings.

"It's as if Expert Bai Mo's theory can't be perfectly interpreted using existing theories.

"His theory is like a jade sphere.

"The existing scientific system is like a basin of clear water.

"The jade sphere is too large, the clear water too shallow, even though he has worked hard to completely submerge the jade sphere into the water, there is always a part that cannot be submerged, which needs to be exposed."

Outside the window, twilight had deepened, and snow was still fluttering down, with occasional flakes flying near the window illuminated by the light.

Dinner time arrived, everyone was hungry, but none of them realized it.

They looked at Professor Li Yun, who was seated at the head of the conference table.

Only to find the old professor furrowing his brows.

"This... alas, in fact, I almost believe Expert Bai Mo.

"To speak behind closed doors, Jiao Su and he aren't on the same level at all.

"Judging by his temper and personality, he doesn't seem like someone who would hold grudges.

"So, there's a certain probability that Jiao Su's project might indeed not work.

"But..."

In the meeting room, everyone perked up their ears.

When a bigwig speaks, the beginning is always groundwork; the turn after 'but' is often the point!

"But we can't put all our eggs in one basket."

"This time, let's still give Jiao Su some resources to let him try!

"The more concentrated the resources, the higher the dependency, and the greater the risk."

Everyone fell silent.

Indeed, you can't put all your eggs in one basket.

Some things are stupid to say, stupid to hear, and stupid to do, but there's no choice, they must be done!

Bai Mo is indeed remarkable, but if everything relies on Bai Mo, the resulting risks will escalate infinitely!

Until now, the Immortal Committee has been making every effort to allocate every bit of resources to achieve faster and better development. Giving Bai Mo more resources means less for others.

Not to mention Bai Mo's background, if all resources, all key stakes, all problems, all hopes were to be placed solely on Bai Mo, what if one day Bai Mo gets assassinated, and then what?

Professor Li Yun pondered for a moment.

"Adjust Jiao Su's budget appropriately across the board.

"Also make some compensations for Bai Mo!"

Everyone nodded one after another.

Curtailed Jiao Su's budget, reducing the risk of failure.

If Jiao Su really succeeds in the future, the budget can always be increased later!

As for Bai Mo's compensation...

"What to give?"

...

"This small restaurant, if you weren't a gourmand, you really wouldn't find it, haha.

"Try this red-braised mutton!"

Outside, heavy snow fell.

In a small eatery, on an oily table, a pot of red-braised mutton was bubbling on an alcohol stove.

Professor Zhang, Mo Lanyou, along with Bai Mo, Fang Xiaoyu, and Wu Qingyun, sat around the table, eating and chatting.

This restaurant was set up in an alley within the urban village, very small, a bit dimly lit, not very clean, but the taste was truly top-notch!

In a cramped little private room, Bai Mo sat at the dining table, holding a small bowl, eating mutton, nodding his head.

"The taste is indeed good."

Beside him, the fox apprentice Boba Tea gnawed on a lamb trotter, face full of oil, enjoying himself.

"Owo owo owo!"

Professor Zhang munched and gave Bai Mo a heads up.

"From my understanding of Professor Li Yun, he... he will probably still support Jiao Su.

"For many years, he has been particularly stable in doing things, particularly stable, he never likes betting everything, always prefers a bit of risk-sharing, always needs some hedging or something.

"He can't secure the greatest benefits, but he also never suffers big losses."

At the dinner table, everyone smiled wryly.

Bai Mo put down the bowl, took a sip of tea, and furrowed his brow.

Indeed, he did his best in such matters.

Though feeling displeased inside, unwilling to accept, still it's understandable.

Mo Lanyou picked up a chopstick of spicy lamb stomach, and ate it.

"Let's not talk about that. Recently, the Immortal Committee expanded again, bringing in a lot of new Sequence Sevens, Expert Bai Mo, do you know?

"Recently, there was a census on immortals, resulting in many Sequence Eights.

"The Immortal Committee selected some with suitable conditions, accelerated their development with technology to Sequence Seven.

"Across Jiuzhou, there are more than five hundred. Fifty of them are allocated to West State."

Bai Mo nodded.

"That's quite a lot."

As time goes on, more and more Sequence Sevens appear.

The Immortal Committee added five hundred, but the Dark Side, who knows how much more?

Just as they were speaking, the sound of a vehicle suddenly came from outside.

Swish...

Swish...

Two official cars stopped outside the window.

Fang Xiaoyu craned her head to take a look.

"Seems like our Immortal Committee's business car?"

Bai Mo and co. paid no mind, and continued with their meal.

...

The restaurant's small space meant outside the private room was a narrow lobby, now nearly full of people, at tables, clinking glasses, eating and drinking, having a good time.

At the entrance of the lobby was the owner's counter.

At this time, a young man in a business suit walked into the restaurant, approached the counter, seeing the bald old man in an oily apron behind the counter.

The young man took out a document, placing it lightly on the counter.
