Chapter 51

◎National treasure demon? ◎

The production team of "Let's Go to Kindergarten Together" did not expect that the popularity and viewership of this episode would directly surpass other variety shows in the same period, including those popular variety shows on major satellite TV platforms, and the hot searches did not come down all day.

Many official influencers have begun discussing the issue of early childhood education, and this long-lasting debate seems to have finally come to a conclusion at this time.

Lian Jiu also became popular because of this show.

Almost every marketing account that wanted to take advantage of the popularity intercepted her three sentences and forwarded them crazily.

"If that's what you wanted, you succeeded."

"We want children to feel loved. If even children can't feel their parents' love through this method, then shouldn't we change the method?"

"Did you have fun today?"

These words are in stark contrast to those parents who keep saying, "I'm doing this for the good of my child," "I'm trying my best to give my child the best conditions," and "How was your performance today?"

And the child who was asked about crying at the end.

Nowadays, there are many young unmarried and childless people surfing the Internet. These words directly make young people begin to understand the ultimate reason why they don't want to have children.

To be honest, I like children, but I can't guarantee that I can raise them well. If I give birth to a child just to become the next me, then I would rather the child not be born.

Yes, I hope my family will be harmonious and happy in the future, rather than being filled with the pressure of being a parent and a child every day. It's too suffocating.

I hope parents who watched this episode will go back and watch it again. Stop using your children as a burden. It's really tiring for children. A happy childhood is truly important.

[Also, regarding the teacher named Ding Rui, when kindergartens hire teachers in the future, can we carefully consider a teacher's character? Academic qualifications aren't the most important thing. Remember, these teachers will subtly influence children's behavior.]

[I suggest you refer to the method of Monster Kindergarten, hahaha. 】

[Who knows, maybe we can recruit some hidden bosses to the kindergarten? ]

I really want my kids to go to a monster kindergarten. The conditions don't really matter, but seeing those kids is so fun.

To be honest, I want to go too. I just want to learn how to breathe fire.

[Any one of these kids' special skills is incredibly powerful.]

[Don’t really think they are all little monsters, hahaha]

【Is there such a good thing? 】

The Monster Kindergarten has been a hot topic online, and the popularity has been rising, but at this time there has been no movement from the official account of the Monster Kindergarten.

Still the same as before, I live broadcast my classes every day and post some small daily videos from time to time, as if I am not affected by these discussions.

In fact, Lian Jiu had already told everyone before that according to the current situation, the Monster Kindergarten will definitely attract more and more attention, so unless there is no other choice, don't be swayed by the comments under the video, just do your own part.

Therefore, Yu Chongming, who manages the account most of the time, naturally has a calm mentality.

However, I have recently received many invitations from programs and people who run self-media accounts, all of whom want Principal Lian Jiu to be interviewed, or to take the children to participate in other programs or appear in videos.

As long as it becomes popular, these activities will be indispensable.

But Lian Jiu's goal has been achieved, and he doesn't want his children to participate in these meaningless activities anymore. He just wants them to grow up peacefully.

As it turned out, the children in the kindergarten behaved very well. No one was affected by them, and no one discovered that these were real little monsters.

The senior leaders who had been watching the live broadcast of the program naturally understood that in just a few months, the changes in the demon world would be so great. The new director was indeed very capable, so the qualification examination that Lian Jiu applied for was quickly approved.

On the way to the Municipal Bureau to get the approval documents, Lian Jiu looked at Si Lan who was standing next to Shen and said, "You are wearing a uniform today."

It's not necessary. In fact, the working demons in the demon world don't need to wear uniforms. Only Director Long who has been working in the Municipal Bureau will wear one.

Si Lan lowered his eyes and smiled, "Work hard."

Lian Jiu was even more surprised. After actively asking to be the boss of the group, Si Lan also wanted to work hard?!

"Has anything happened recently?" she asked, "Does it require your help?"

The demon world is developing now, and there is no situation where demons come out to cause trouble. Apart from some daily connections, the Municipal Bureau actually has nothing to do. Long Ying is just on duty here every day and doesn't have to worry about things in the mountains.

Judging from the attitude of other demon gods towards Si Lan, they would not let him come out unless there was something urgent.

"Nothing." Si Lan said lazily, "I've had enough free time, so I'm going to find something to do. After all, I still have to save money to buy a house in the future, right?"

It's rare that he changed his mind after saying he didn't need to buy a house.

Lian Jiu smiled and said, "So what do you want to do?"

"Things outside the mountain."

"What?"

Si Lan glanced at her and said, "You must do everything you can to get them out. At least if they can't come out, it's over."

Lian Jiu had never really thought about these things, and he became interested: "What do you mean?"

"The human world has already noticed our intention to come out and coexist with them, and is trying to find a way to make it acceptable to everyone and to keep each other safe. Furthermore, once the four of us demons from the demon world come out, we will need a place to stay in the human world, so we must officially begin cooperating with the human world."

Lian Jiu paused. "So you're using your identity as the CEO of the Youkai Group?"

"Yeah." Si Lan said slowly, "In the past, we have always been in a passive position. Long Ying and the others have made plans from the beginning to turn passivity into initiative. We can't always be led by the nose."

Before this, the most suitable demon god was Si Lan.

Because the top leaders in the human world also know that among the four demon realms now, two are supported by Si Lan, and the situation of the other two demon realms without Si Lan is not good.

But before this, Si Lan always stayed in the mountains and rarely came out. Even though the people in the human world knew that he was the most dangerous demon god who should be feared the most, they were helpless.

It is also because of this that if other demon gods take the initiative, their say in the human world is actually not as high as Si Lan's.

This matter was brought up several times, but Si Lan never gave in. The other demon gods didn't want to force him either, as he had already done enough for the demon world.

When he woke up, his body was not fully recovered yet, so he had to guard the two demon realms alone, which resulted in his body recovering the slowest among all the demon gods.

And the premise is that many years ago, he was the one who was most seriously injured.

Looking at all the past and present events, the gods all knew that Si Lan's hatred for humans had become materialized, and it was a bit too much to expect him to keep dealing with humans.

So the matter was put on hold.

Now that Si Lan's health has improved and his attitude towards humans has softened, the development of the demon world has been accelerating, so Long Ying brought up this matter again.

This time, Si Lan did not refuse quickly. After he agreed to be the CEO of the Monster Group, Long Ying felt that this matter had potential.

Sure enough, not long after, Si Lan agreed.

This kind of cooperation is not like Lianjiu's cooperation with ordinary merchants and companies, but cooperation among senior domestic government officials on deeper and more internal issues.

In a sense, Si Lan represents all the demon gods.

Although Si Lan did not fully explain the key points, Lian Jiu could understand some of them.

She asked curiously, "Why did you agree now?"

Si Lan's answer was very realistic: "I want to buy a house."

Then he added with a smile: "A bigger room."

Lian Jiu was also amused. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Same as me. Actually, my dream before was the same. It was very simple. Having a small house of my own to live in was enough."

"Um."

"That's good." Lian Jiu patted his shoulder, "I'm glad you can figure it out, whether it's for yourself or for the demon world."

"How do you say that?"

"For the demon world, with you in charge, you won't be looked down upon by humans when you go out in the future." He was too tall, and Lian Jiu had to look up to talk to him. Facing the backlight, he squinted slightly and found Si Lan's special black eyes in the halo. "For you, if you have your own things you want to do, then the days ahead will be meaningful."

Si Lan raised his hand to block the light for her: "Indeed."

Lian Jiu stretched out his hand: "Come on together!"

Si Lan chuckled: "Let's work hard together."

After receiving the notification of the qualification examination and returning to the mountains, Lian Jiu did not forget that he had to take the diploma exam. Instead, he bought a set of study materials and planned to study in the second half of the year so that he could take the first exam at the beginning of the year.

"What a pity." Lian Jiu sighed softly, "This is not as valuable as the unified examination."

"What's the difference?"

Lian Jiu thought for a moment and asked, "Have you heard of the imperial examination?"

"Um."

In the eras he had been exposed to in the past, there was indeed the imperial examination. In order to adapt to the human world, he had read a lot of books. Other demons and gods laughed at him, saying that if he had taken the imperial examination, he might have even become the top scorer.

It’s just that people at that time took the imperial examination in order to become an official, but Si Lan didn’t want to be an official, so he never took it.

"In modern society, the unified examination is equivalent to the imperial examination. The diploma you receive upon graduation is equivalent to the certificate issued after passing the examination, which qualifies you to officially become an official." Lian Jiu said, "But taking the self-taught examination is like skipping the academy examination and the provincial examination and going directly to the metropolitan examination. Even if you have the results of the metropolitan examination, you cannot take the palace examination."

After hearing this, Si Lan understood and nodded slightly.

"For us adult monsters, we do suffer a bit of a disadvantage. We never went to school before, so we naturally missed out on those opportunities. This is the only way to get a diploma." Lian Jiu was used to looking on the bright side of things. "At least I have a diploma, which will give me more job opportunities in the future."

Si Lan listened to it in his heart. In fact, he knew that Lian Jiu's claim of amnesia was just an excuse.

This is most likely the reason why she appeared in this world, but she is unwilling to say it.

Perhaps she had this qualification in the past?

After thinking for a moment, Si Lan asked thoughtfully, "Do you want to take the unified exam?"

"If there's a chance..." Lian Jiu paused, "Hmm?"

"Isn't the purpose of my coming to the human world to fight for these things for you?" Si Lan smiled slowly, "Those people want to get something from me, so they should also give something in return."

Lian Jiu understood what he meant and immediately went back to buy a lot of books: "I'll buy a copy of yours too, so we can study together in the future! If it really works out, we can be classmates!"

Si Lan didn't stop her and let her buy it.

The next morning, Lian Jiu, who had just finished class, was dragged to a small supermarket by Su Caifeng. Now this place is considered a small gathering place for several demon gods.

Su Caifeng took out a few things and placed them on the tree table: "The samples are ready, would you like to take a look?"

These are some samples of ears and tails. Before this, Lian Jiu bought some small hairbands and tail toys for the monsters in the mountains in the human world as references, and they were all made according to those styles.

Lian Jiu picked it up and took a look, and exclaimed in surprise, "It's more realistic than I thought. It looks exactly like the original."

Yuan Qing and Jiang An each took one and put it on themselves, then looked at each other and said, "Yue!"

Lian Jiu: "...What vocabulary are you two learning from Pixiu online all day?"

Su Caifeng quickly distanced himself from the matter: "It wasn't me! They were just bored and quarreled with others online all day long."

“…”

Afraid that Lian Jiu would misunderstand him and think he was looking for trouble, Jiang An explained, "Originally, we wanted to shoot a lot of learning videos to gain experience, but the main problem is that in some videos, the people's brains seem to have been eaten, and they can't speak human language."

"Right!" Yuan Qing chimed in, "But don't worry, Jiujiu, we've never lost an argument!"

It's not just that they have never lost an argument. In fact, now under any video that has a little bit of popularity, there will always be two strange IDs.

One is "your uncle" and the other is "a die-hard fan of the saint".

The ID is fine, the main thing is that wherever these two people go, no grass grows.

He cursed people without using any dirty words and used the same elementary school-like method of arguing that immediately made a bunch of argumentative people disperse.

To put it another way, these two people did bring peace to the comment section, but they also brought another kind of chaos.

Lian Jiu knew their personalities well and they didn't seem like the kind of people who would act unreasonably, so he didn't blame them much.

She took out her phone and said, "What are you guys talking about? Isn't this cute? I'll take a couple of pictures and upload the video later. It can give our product a preview."

Hearing this, Jiang An and Yuan Qing immediately got into position.

"Move away, you're blocking my camera!"

"I'm afraid you'll be too ugly for the audience, so let me do it. There are many netizens who like me, and I even have a fan group."

Although they are in teenage form now, they look just like two elementary school students.

Lian Jiu remained calm and turned the photo-taking into a video recording, which he would upload to publicly punish them so that those netizens who had learned a lot from studying could see it.

After the video was shot, Lian Jiu picked up another tail that looked a bit like Kong Xinxin's: "Is this a peacock's tail?"

Once you open it, the screen will really open!

Lian Jiu himself was moved: "How beautiful."

"Yes." Su Caifeng was relieved to see that the director was satisfied, but he still didn't feel completely relieved. "Can this really make money?"

"Of course, if it were just a normal tail, it wouldn't be a problem, but these are very realistic and can be used as props."

Su Caifeng pulled a small stool and sat down: "But the quantity is really too small. If we sell it, it might not be worth it."

"It's a small amount?" Lian Jiu closed his tail. "Besides farming and planting, we also have some monsters at the new school. Isn't there still some left?"

Su Caifeng said, "We have enough monsters, but not enough materials."

He picked up a pair of ears and turned them over and over. "These are the hairs I collected from the monsters. I can only make these few. If I were to mass-produce them, I wouldn't even be able to make that many even if I plucked them all out."

Lian Jiu: "...pulled from them?"

"Yes." Su Caifeng coughed lightly, "It's really far-fetched for humans to achieve the same simulation effect as us with those materials."

Lian Jiu looked down at the peacock tail in his hand, wondering how long it would take to collect all the feathers to make this.

This is indeed a problem...

What netizens like is the ears and tail that are the same as those of the little monsters. If it is made the same as those in the human world, then there will be no specialness.

But we can't pluck all the monsters' hair off, as that doesn't satisfy the principle of recycling.

Looking at Yuan Qing wearing cat ears, Lian Jiu tried to ask: "Do you monsters grow hair at the same speed as vegetables grow?"

Yuan Qing: “???”

He immediately covered his hair: "Although I admire you, don't even think about it! I'm only ten thousand years old! I'm still a baby! I don't want to be bald!"

Lien Jiu: "..."

What should we do? Even if it’s a limited edition merchandise, it can’t be so limited. It’s like a toy.

Lian Jiu thought about it carefully and suddenly realized that the raw materials used to make plush toys in the human world were all grown and raised by themselves, so the results were different from those in the demon world.

What if it was raised by the demon world itself?

She told Su Caifeng about this idea, and he immediately began to think: "It seems feasible. Whether it's animals or plants, the ones we raise will be much better than humans. Naturally, only we have them."

However, Su Caifeng felt a pang of pain: "But if we want to process it to the end and make the surrounding fibers and hair, won't we have to spend a lot of money to buy equipment like humans?"

"Don't worry about money for now, we still have plenty." Lian Jiu wasn't worried about this issue. She said, "We are now self-sufficient in vegetables and meat, and we have sponsorship for teaching equipment. We still have money left over from LK, and some money from live broadcast rewards. Although we can't buy a lot, we should be able to make limited-edition merchandise."

Su Caifeng covered his chest.

Doesn’t this still cost money?

Knowing his character, Lian Jiu redirected his attention: "So if we raise these animals and plants, the growth rate will be the same as before, right?"

"Hmm." Su Caifeng thought of something and shook his head to deny the idea. "But there's one more thing. We don't have enough monsters. We need to plant and harvest, and then process them. After processing, there's still manual labor. We have about 500 monsters, and most of them have jobs now. There aren't enough remaining monsters to divide up so many positions."

It’s good to make money, but it’s also good to have sleepless nights.

Are you going to recruit again?

But this matter itself is for the development of the demon world itself. Recruiting people would go against the original intention. Lian Jiu also doesn't want so many people to come from the demon world.

Su Caifeng added, "Also, we've already grown a lot of vegetables, and we'll need to supply them to supermarkets in several provinces. The scale of our breeding and planting needs to be expanded, as the monsters will need more. The remaining space in Fuyu Mountain, the monster world, isn't enough to support anything else."

Bai Ze listened for a long time, then suddenly said, "We have other demon realms. Isn't there aquaculture in the South China Sea?"

Lian Jiu asked, "Where are the other demon realms?"

"There are some in the north and some in the west."

Before Lian Jiu could ask again, Yu Chongming flew over in a hurry: "Director, Director! The medicine beast is back!"

Medicine beast? !

Yuan Qing stood up suddenly: "She's back! Then I can grow taller!!!"

"He's not coming back." Yu Chongming didn't know what to say, "He brought a monster with him, saying he was here to extort money."

"???" Su Caifeng immediately stood up, "Get her out! Get her out now! What are you doing here?"

Following the excited Yuan Qing and Su Caifeng out, Lian Jiuyuan saw a girl in a green dress standing at the entrance of the kindergarten. There seemed to be a black and white ball huddled beside the girl.

It must be the medicine beast.

The medicine beast saw everyone coming and waved: "Long time no see~"

Yuan Qing rushed over and said, "You're finally back! Help me find some herbs. I need to grow taller!"

"Don't worry." Yaoshou kicked him away without mercy and looked at Lianjiu. "Hello, Director Lianjiu, I'm Yaoshou. I came here today to ask for a small room for you to stay in for a while. One of our monsters is about to give birth."

As she spoke, she looked down at the group beside her: "That's her."

The group next to the medicine beast slowly turned around, its two large black eyes particularly dazzling. Lian Jiu's eyes suddenly widened: "National, national treasure?"

The author has something to say:
