The afternoon meeting was as usual. Reiner continued to focus on listening to the research results of all the mages, but also thinking about his Coke's next marketing plan.

He was very glad that he bought two bottles of Coke in Toronto and carried them with him. When Reiner saw Frederick's expression after drinking Coke, he knew that he had succeeded.

Since lunch time is not enough, Frederick simply established a magic contract, and Reiner will provide a sufficient amount of coke in the next three meetings of the Mercury Balance. This beverage will become the designated drink for the academic conference to introduce to all the mages attending the conference.

At the same time, Crescent Coke will also be sold inside the Tower of Rainbow. The two alchemy workshops belonging to the Mercury Balance will join Reiner to produce Coke. As a result, the center of the magical world will be stained with traces of Coke for the first time.

There is only one fundamental reason for these seemingly incredible contracts, that is, Reiner's own knowledge.

In this world, knowledge is power, and the more profound the knowledge, the higher the status it has. Although Reiner has not yet obtained the official mage level, his papers, as well as his powerful observation and extraordinary courage displayed at the conference, are enough to win respect. Frederick is also a disguised investment.

Looking at the mage who was making a generous speech on the podium, Lener suddenly felt that it was a wise decision to come to the annual meeting of the Mercury Balance. This time, he not only met the upper class figures in the field of magic, but also laid a good foundation for the subsequent promotion of Coke. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone.

The meeting soon came to an end. Today's content was shocking enough. Fortunately, with Lanchester's preparation in advance, there were no magists present with the cognitive collapse like the judges' review committee member Cologne. On the contrary, many magists felt that their hearts were fluctuating.

Frederick explained to Reiner that the so-called feedback from the world is a phenomenon that is widely present in magic. The reason for this phenomenon has not been explained so far and is one of the unsolved mysteries in the magic world.

Whenever people's understanding of things is closer to reality, then the feedback from the world will come to them, and this effect will gradually weaken. The first discoverer will enjoy the most gifts, and fewer people will then go away. When these things become common sense, there will be almost no feedback.

This is why mages need to establish a paper review mechanism to encourage academic research, because personal progress will also drive overall progress. In the past, ancient mages used to put magic on the shelf and rely solely on elites, and world feedback is one of the reasons for the rapid development of modern magic in the past three hundred years.

Just like now, Reiner was the first to electrolyze water and received the strongest gift. Although it was not obvious in him, as Reiner's magic level continued to improve, this impact was far-reaching.

Other participants also accepted this theory through explanations, so their strength will improve a lot, but they are far less beneficial than Reiner himself.

Of course, the formation of cognition is a gradual process. If one forms one's own cognition on the basis of factual verification, then one is likely to encounter cognitive collapse, leading to one's backlash by magic. The stronger the mage, the more serious the consequences when it is backlash. At the least, the disability will be, and at the worst, it will be killed suddenly.

Reiner was a little glad that he did not rashly write all the theories he knew on the earth, otherwise if he had encountered something different from this world, he might have exploded and died long ago.

......

Walking out of the conference hall and still in the corridor, Reiner was stopped by two wizards.

"Hello, I'm Fleming Ernst, this is my student Gallon."

That was Fleming and Gallon.

After hearing the other party's introduction, Reiner thought about it and recalled the paper that assumed that the fire element had negative mass was written by Fleming. He thought the other party was here to argue with him, but he did not expect that the old man bowed deeply, as if he was apologizing to Reiner.

"My student Gallon is one of the reviewers of your two papers. Because of my stubbornness, he did not give the first paper a high evaluation. I apologize to you here."

Fleming said that judging from the attitudes of Langchester and Frederick towards Reiner, this mage apprentice should be able to become the mainstay of the mercury balance in the future. He will eventually know about the review of the paper, so Fleming decided to confess in advance to win the other party's favor.

"It doesn't matter. In fact, it is precisely because of the review opinions of the paper that made me realize my lack of cutting-edge knowledge that I came into contact with the latest issue of "Alchemy" and read the papers on electrolysis by Your Excellency Pengzans, and then I started to try electrolytic water."

Reiner quickly understood the reason, and he did not care about it, but instead responded generously.

"As I said, my discovery is nothing more than standing on the shoulders of giants. Even without me, I believe that you will be able to discover these theories in time."

"Perhaps the next alchemy history will record the process of this meeting with Mr. Ian Gray, where you discovered the mystery of water, and we both may become the villains in the story."

Fleming thought Reiner was a proud person, but he didn't expect that the other party was so modest and he immediately changed his mind.

"You are joking, Lord Ernst."

Reiner felt that the plot was a bit familiar, but he quickly shook his head and swayed the guess that had no future behind him.

"But, Mr. Ian Gray, I have a small suggestion."

Fleming said with a smile.

"Next time if you want to publish a subversive paper, you can say hello in advance, otherwise it may cause an accident like this one."

He pointed to his students, and then briefly told Reiner about the commotion caused by his thesis.

A bit surprised. Reiner did not expect that there would be a wizard who would have a cognitive collapse due to his paper. On the one hand, his understanding of the world has deepened a little more, and on the other hand, he also felt a little guilty for the unlucky wizard who had a cognitive collapse.

"Of course you don't need to feel guilty. If you can't accept the new theory, then the mage's progress will stagnate. This is his own problem."

Fleming saw Reiner's worries and then said.

"But, it might be fine if someone else was, the other party was the son of the pure blood François family, Mr. Ian Gray, you may have to be careful in the future."

"François?"

Reiner had never heard of this name, but when Fleming meant it seemed that there was a bit of danger. He thought about it and asked.
