-186- What exactly is going on inside your head

Linwin and his group are here to eat.

Linwin is naturally concerned about the taste of the cafeteria at Twin City University. After all, the operational model of Twin City University in this world is based on the memories from his previous life.

This innovative model has impressed Mel and Camille, the two councilors. Even Councilor Kiramman expressed surprise at Linwin's ideas.

It's a new and convenient way of operating a university that saves time for both students and teachers. 

However, the corresponding cost is substantial, not to mention the expensive laboratory equipment. The decision not to charge students tuition makes it a loss-making venture. But for Linwin and Jayce, who are wealthy, this is not a problem.

Linwin and Jayce are truly wealthy individuals in this world.

So, in this world, it's only with the support of people like Linwin and Jayce that a university like Twin City University, engaging in a loss-making business, can exist.

"As for the materials to make the new crystal bottles, we can have someone lead a team to buy them in Shurima. Money is not an issue. However, I recommend organizing a ship, and the two ships left by Noxians can be used. Then, take a team of Enforcers, and let the teachers lead a group of students to Shurima."

"For students who will engage in this field in the future, this is a rare opportunity."

"Don't underestimate the knowledge involved in procurement."

The surrounding students spontaneously walked away, leaving a large area for the principal and deans to use. However, their eyes never left the group of people.

At the table, Linwin was eating lamb, nodding in satisfaction. "As for the construction of the dormitory building... Although it's not necessary now, in the future, Twin City University will definitely have students from beyond the two cities. We need to prepare for students who will come here specifically to study in the future."

"Are you trying to poach talent from other nations?" Jayce listened to Linwin's words and chuckled.

In this world, surprisingly, the powerful human nations of Noxus and Demacia are not the ones who believe in science. And for the now fallen Shurima, which once had an ascended civilization, believed in gods and demons.

Shurima's crystal researchers are more skilled than Zevi Reta in cutting gemstones and processing materials.

Therefore, if Twin City University wants to attract students from outside, the first ones to be attracted will be scholars from the Shuriman continent.

Jayce continued, "Tell me, how long have you been coveting scientists from Shurima?"

"What do you mean I'm coveting? Aren't you coveting as well?" Linwin disdainfully rolled his eyes at Jayce.

Jayce is indeed coveting the crystal researchers in Shurima. After all, the understanding of minerals by the people of Shurima can be said to be the best in the world. There are too many unique magical minerals in that vast land.

The original Hextech crystal was born in that land.

Of course, Zaun also has many different minerals. The miners who are reasonably digging deep into the depths of the abyss are just an example. However, compared to Shurima, Zaun is truly outclassed.

Shurima is a desert area.

Hextech gemstones in the future will touch various fields. How to process the gems to make them more suitable for various fields is also a concern for Jayce to this day.

"Moreover, Shurima is the best place to recruit talent. It's like a super large talent market." Linwin smiled and said, "In the past, the collapse of faith and the hardships brought to the local people after the emperor's death have erased the concept of 'nation' in the hearts of the current people of Shurima."

When he said this, Linwin glanced at Kai'Sa.

Seeing Kai'Sa skillfully picking up food with chopsticks and stuffing it into her mouth, Linwin's mouth curved with a smile, almost laughing out.

And here I thought Kai'Sa is getting clever.

Linwin is currently discussing how to grab talents from her homeland with Jayce, and she doesn't even care.

However, this also proves that what Linwin said is indeed correct. Most people in Shurima no longer have the concept of a 'nation' in their hearts.

Has Shurima brought them benefits? No, Shurima has only brought them hardships.

Jayce nodded and said, "Makes sense. From a group of Shurimans willingly joining Noxus, it's not hard to see that whoever can make their lives better now, they are willing to follow."

Using chopsticks to pick up a round, radish-like vegetable, Linwin put it in his mouth, chewed a few times, and said, "You're right. So, if possible, I think for the second enrollment of Twin City University, we should recruit new students from Demacia, Shurima, Freljord, and Noxus."

"..."

"???"

"Wait, wait, wait!"

Viktor and Jayce both widened their eyes.

Even Heimerdinger, who usually doesn't care about such matters, widened his eyes.

Everyone at the table was surprised by Linwin's words.

"Do you know what you're saying right now?" Jayce was amused, "Leaving aside that this is the first day of enrollment for the first batch of freshmen, let's talk about the countries you've chosen. Do you really think it's feasible?"

"Forget about Demacia; I know we may establish diplomatic relations with them. But about Freljord and Noxus?" Jayce stared at Linwin, questioning, "One is an ancient and backward tribal system, and the other is a group of war fanatics that's our enemy."

It's really incredible for Linwin to suggest recruiting students from Noxus.

Is there even a possibility of establishing diplomatic relations between Noxus and Zaun?

Hmm... 

Jayce thought carefully and found that, if both sides' interests could be aligned, it might still be possible...

But Jayce still said, "Sometimes I really wonder, Linwin, what exactly is going on inside your head? What are you thinking?"

"I think about many things." Linwin rolled his eyes disdainfully.

"Besides, I'm not saying we have to start this immediately this year. There's no need to rush. I just hope that by next year, we can enroll students from around the world."

"Isn't that already rushing?" Jayce complained, and the argument between him and Linwin continued.

Viktor, listening to the conversation between the two, shook his head and said, "You two, instead of discussing future matters, I think we should focus on the present. Let's talk about the construction of the two cities."

"Linwin, the water purifier you mentioned has been developed, and as you said, it can effectively filter seawater for direct consumption." Viktor paused, "But there's a problem. The consumption of the filter is too high. It needs to be replaced once or twice a month, or else the water will taste salty."

Linwin nodded and asked Viktor, "Can't we use Hextech to strengthen the filter?"

Viktor shook his head.

Linwin said, "Looking at it this way, Hextech is not something that can be applied everywhere."

Jayce immediately said, "No, it can definitely be applied. We just haven't found a way yet. If we can create corresponding inscriptions on Hextech gems, we can use the magic of the gems to filter water sources. I even think we can use magic to directly create drinking water."

Linwin didn't nod, but he didn't shake his head either.

Hextech is not omnipotent, but science has no limits.

If Hextech No. 1 doesn't work, then Hextech No. 2 will.

After all, Jayce and Viktor have come all this way, haven't they?
