Chapter 84 Evil Heretics (6)

The sunlight peeked through the window lattice, partially falling on Jian Shiyuan's face.

His long hair fell down, and the loose cuffs covered his wrists, revealing only a few jade-like fingers. When he saw someone coming in, he raised his eyes slightly, his eyes like water, which made people's hearts soften.

Meeting his gaze, the player with the ID [东木] felt a little uneasy, rubbing his sleeve nervously, "Master..."

As he was about to bow, Jian Shiyuan smiled gently and pointed to the empty seat next to him, "Sit down."

Jian Shiyuan's smile was like moonlight illuminating winter snow. At a glance, it seemed radiant, like a goddess blowing jade, scattering endless celestial light. But reaching out to touch it, it was cold and clammy.

His smile makes people feel good about him, but when you really get in touch with him, you will feel that he is like the moon in a well, which is out of reach, right in front of you and yet far away in the horizon.

Warm and distant.

Unlike Dongmu's nervousness, Confidence Interval was very open and confident. He first greeted Jian Shiyuan, then directly pulled out a chair, nudged the stunned Dongmu with his elbow, and the two sat side by side.

"What's up?"

Confidence Interval spoke first, "Master, we would like you to deduce the magic. It's like this—"

He explained the players' plan to open a martial arts gym in detail, discussing the pros and cons before elaborating on his own perspective. "Simplified boxing techniques are similar to aerobics, suitable for all ages and with no age or aptitude restrictions. This technique can be easily promoted nationwide, strengthening the body while also eliminating the negative social factors associated with the spread of high-risk martial arts."

The confidence interval is very clear. If the magic that is spread is powerful, it may affect social order.

After all, when people have superb martial arts and can fight against several enemies alone, not everyone wants to become a chivalrous superhero. More people will think of using their power to seize other people's property, which will undoubtedly affect the normal social order.

Martial arts exercises that are easy to promote, like Tai Chi, can be learned by anyone and can also help with physical exercise. If the conditions are right, they can also be promoted overseas as a national treasure with official cooperation, and the market is huge.

Jian Shiyuan listened silently, his slender fingers pressing on his temples. His eyes seemed to be filled with smiles, and his eyes were as bright as spring. When he looked at the confidence interval, the corners of his mouth curled up, "Okay—"

Confidence Interval was delighted, and Jian Shiyuan changed the subject and said slowly: "However, I have a few requirements that you must comply with."

As he spoke, Jian Shiyuan pointed in the air, and a suspended golden frame appeared in front of the confidence interval. He looked closely and found that it was a contract.

"Martial Arts Authorization Letter from the Immortal and Demon World"

"I can authorize your company as the first agent, but you must abide by the following regulations."

"First, we will keep 70% of the profits, and when we sign the contract, we will establish a charity fund and donate all of our profits to the foundation to be used for projects such as helping out-of-school children and impoverished university students."

When he heard that Jian Shiyuan wanted 70% profit, Confidence Zone's eyelids twitched and his heart sank. He was about to say something, but then he heard that Jian Shiyuan planned to donate all the money. He clenched his fists and sighed silently.

The master is smarter and more righteous than he imagined.

Teaching martial arts and opening a martial arts school does require a substantial initial investment to maintain a clientele, but once that clientele stabilizes, the profits can be incredibly lucrative. Confidence interval calculations indicate that after stabilization, they can achieve a 75% gross profit, and if continued growth continues, profits will further increase.

With the rapid development of the internet, companies can open online platforms, sell online courses, sign up martial arts live streamers, and further exploit the value of traffic. They can also license martial arts to gaming and film companies. As long as they build popularity, the money will continue to grow.

It can be said that once the company gets on the right track, the profits will be far more than 70 percent.

This is where Jian Shiyuan's cleverness lies. He has grasped the scale. A 70% profit will not cause dissatisfaction among the players, while also maximizing the amount of funds to give back to society.

Confidence Zone nodded, "Master, we can do it."

Jian Shiyuan smiled lightly, "Secondly, I want you to sign a mutual assistance agreement."

Seeing Confidence Interval frowning, Jian Shiyuan flicked his fingers, and the authorization letter in front of him directly turned into a mutual assistance agreement.

"Don't be so nervous. I didn't ask you to split the wealth equally. My mutual aid agreement is this—"

He read the confidence interval quickly and scanned the agreement, and his brows relaxed.

Jian Shiyuan spoke slowly and with a gentle voice. Listening with confidence, I felt a warm current flowing through my heart.

"In the three dimensions, you may be rich or poor, young or old, but in this world, you are all my disciples. I hope you can be safe and happy."

"The moon waxes and wanes, people experience joy and sorrow. Meeting each other is destiny. I can license all the formulas and techniques you've acquired in the Immortal and Demon World, allowing you to start a company and create more wealth. The only thing is, while you enjoy your wealth, you should also take care of your fellow apprentices in the Immortal and Demon World."

"You are the first beta testers, enjoying the greatest degree of intellectual freedom. You have a higher starting point than other players and are more likely to gain something. However, your gains will undoubtedly weaken other players. There is no absolute fairness in this world, and I cannot restrict your development for the sake of future players."

Confidence Interval raised the corners of his mouth and smiled silently.

"Just like today, you came to me asking for a martial arts license, and I promised you. To protect your interests, I will only sign this martial arts license to your company. This is undoubtedly unfair to future players. Therefore, in order to narrow the gap, I have no choice but to ask you to sign a mutual assistance agreement."

"This mutual aid agreement is also simple, considering only employment and survival protection."

"First, employment protection. Among similar job applications, players will be given priority. How should I put it? For applicants with the same qualifications, junior colleagues will be given priority. Isn't that too much?"

Confidence Zone smiled and shook his head, "Not too much. It's a pity that our martial arts school is not a good unit, they may not be willing to come."

Jian Shiyuan also laughed, "Whether they are willing or not is their business, whether to give them a chance is your business."

"Second, survival protection. You need to donate some of your profits to charity. Of course, this charity is for the public. However, if players encounter any difficulties, such as serious illness or lack of money for school, you must prioritize their assistance after verification."

Jian Shiyuan lowered his eyes as he spoke, "There are many pitiful people in the world. If you must choose someone to help, I hope you will help those who are familiar and close to you first."

Confidence Interval nodded.

At this moment, he finally understood the meaning of "Master". At this moment, in his heart, Jian Shiyuan was no longer a virtual NPC, but a living person who loved his disciple.

"One last request."

"The accounts must be open and transparent. I hate trouble, and I hate being cheated even more. If I ever discover you've tampered with the accounts, I will immediately revoke your authorization."

Confidence Zone nodded seriously, "Please rest assured, we won't let you down."

Jian Shiyuan smiled and said, "I will pass on the body-refining technique you need to you once I have deduced it."

Confidence Zone stood up and saluted, saying goodbye to Jian Shiyuan, "Okay, Master."

After he left, Dong Mu stood up awkwardly.

During the conversation just now, the two of them did not avoid Dong Mu, and he heard everything clearly. Now he looked at Jian Shiyuan with a look of admiration and gratitude, his eyes shining.

"Lord Sect Master"

Jian Shiyuan pointed at the chair and said half-jokingly, "Why are you standing there? Are you afraid that I'll eat you?"

“No, no!”

Dong Mu didn't expect that the sect leader would joke. His face turned red and he sat nervously on the chair, only half of his butt was sitting.

"What's the matter?"

Dong Mu scratched his head embarrassedly, "Master, I don't understand this formation."

As he spoke, he took out a wooden compass from his arms.

Jian Shiyuan knew at a glance that this was a [Search Formation]. He took the compass from Dong Mu and asked patiently, "What don't you understand?"

"I don't understand the Kan and Zhen hexagrams, and I can't remember them. I've been memorizing them for a long time, but I just can't remember them. I'm so stupid, I get them wrong every time, woo."

As he spoke, his voice was filled with sobs, and he looked at Jian Shiyuan with tears in his eyes, like a puppy caught in the rain.

Jian Shiyuan showed no disgust, nor any impatience.

Among his disciples there are smart people like Confidence Interval, formation geniuses like Shui Jing Zhu, and of course there are dull kids like Dong Mu.

As a master, he treats every disciple with the same attitude.

"come over."

Jian Shiyuan made room for Dongmu to sit next to him. This was his first time teaching a student, so he had little experience and could only use his own methods to slowly explore his student's strengths.

"Do you like playing Sudoku? How are you doing in math?"

Dong Mu's eyes were filled with tears. "No, I won't play Sudoku."

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Jian Shiyuan, afraid that he would be impatient.

His three-dimensional math teacher always liked to punish him. Every time he took an exam and dragged down the class average, the math teacher would make him copy the wrong questions a hundred times.

Jian Shiyuan lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes cast a shadow, and strands of long hair spread to his chest and stuck to his neck, making his neck look even whiter.

Dongmu looked at him secretly, feeling emotional in his heart that the Sect Master was really gentle, handsome, and fragrant.

"Well, can you play the piano? Do you know the musical notation?"

Dong Mu shook his head in inferiority.

Jian Shiyuan was not in a hurry. Instead, he waved his sleeves and took out several picture cards from his storage bag.

Dongmu Sanshiyuan is just a junior high school student with an immature mind. He can't take his eyes off the beautiful pictures. Jian Shiyuan spread out the pictures for him to see one by one.

"What color is this?"

"blue."

"What about this?"

"Purple!"

"Great, what color is this?"

"red--"

Jian Shiyuan was very careful with his approach. A child like Dongmu, who lacked self-confidence, needed encouragement from their elders. Jian Shiyuan was never stingy with kindness and praise. Compared to his shyness just now, Dongmu was obviously much more cheerful.

After confirming that Dongmu was not color blind, Jian Shiyuan began to outline the colors on the compass. Each of the Eight Trigrams and Earthly Branches was painted with a different color, according to the color spectrum, from light to dark.

"Just remember the color, right?"

Dongmu thought about it and nodded quickly, "Yes!"

"Very good. Come, I'll give you a set of questions and you can try them."

The sunlight came in, lengthening Jian Shiyuan's shadow.

Maybe he has no experience, but he will try hard and try to be a good master.
