I am Su Mu.
A cunning merchant who has traversed into a world of cultivation and magic!
My motto? [Pay-to-win to become immortal, grind till the end!]
Spending my own money is not...
"There is something I need to explain to you."
When Wen Wubin saw Su Mu turn to the title page, he raised his hand and pointed to the long list of editors on it and said, "We are named editors, not to steal your credit. No one dares to steal the credit for your improvement of the Qi-nourishing Technique, and no one can steal it."
"I know." Su Mu took over and said gratefully, "You are protecting me by doing this."
Wen Wubin was slightly stunned, then he laughed and scolded: "You are so young, but you know a lot. I was afraid that you would be dissatisfied, so I prepared a lot of explanations. Now they are no longer needed, which saves trouble!"
After a pause, he continued, "You are right. We signed our names as editors for no other reason than to protect you. Although your improved Qi-nourishing Technique has been highly praised by the Cultivation Education Committee, there is no shortage of nitpickers in this world. They can criticize even Elder Yuan and Elder Qian, let alone you. Not only will we sign our names as editors, we will also publicly express our attitude and tell those nitpickers to come to us if they have any problems! At the same time, we are also telling them that we all think it is good. If you don't agree, who do you think you are?"
Su Mu was very touched. It was not easy for a group of bigwigs to do this for him. Of course, there was also a reason why the bigwigs wanted the newly compiled Qi-nourishing Technique to be promoted smoothly.
At this moment, Xu Yue interrupted with full of surprise, "Teacher, Su Mu, wait a minute. What is the situation with this newly compiled Qi-nourishing Technique? When did you improve the Qi-nourishing Technique, Su Mu, and did it pass the approval of the Cultivation Education Committee? And it will be implemented nationwide soon? How come I don't know anything about it?"
"Didn't you tell her?" Wen Wubin glanced at Xu Yue who was "raising an army to hold someone accountable", and then turned his gaze to Su Mu.
Su Mu was a little embarrassed: "No, but you can't blame me. After I gave you the improved Qi-nourishing Technique, I came back to take a bath and fell unconscious until now. But you, after all these days, didn't you tell her about this?"
Wen Wubin was also embarrassed. Seeing Xu Yue looking at him, he quickly passed the blame on to her: "You want me to take the blame for you? I am her teacher. Do teachers report things to their students? But you, as her student, should have reported this to her as soon as possible."
Well, the boss has spoken, how dare Su Mu not take the blame? He could only apologize to Xu Yue and said that if there is a similar thing in the future, he will report it to her immediately. Fortunately, Xu Yue did not intend to pursue the responsibility and let him go.
In fact, at this moment Xu Yue's heart was far from being as calm as she appeared.
She was thinking excitedly: "My students have improved the Qi-nourishing Technique, and are going to promote it nationwide? Am I dreaming? Su Mu is aiming to leave his name in history! I wonder if I can benefit from his fame? When history books record this incident in the future, will they mention my name and say something like 'Su Mu studied at Qingcheng Mountain Cultivation University, and was taught by Xu Yue'? Hehehe... This kind of thing really makes me happy just thinking about it! Well, it would be best if this sentence was listed as a test point, and every student must recite it!"
The more Xu Yue thought about it, the more obsessed she became. The happier she became, she couldn't help but burst out laughing, causing Su Mu and Wen Wubin to look at each other in bewilderment.
"Is Teacher Xu... okay?" Su Mu asked with a worried look on his face. Wouldn't it be terrible if his teacher had mental problems?
"It should be okay." There was a hint of uncertainty in Wen Wubin's words.
Seeing Su Mu looking at him in surprise, he said, "Why are you looking at me? I'm not good at psychiatry. But your teacher spends most of his time in the laboratory. Don't tell me he has some problems. Fortunately, your uncle Ying is coming back. She is good at psychiatry. Let her treat your teacher..."
As she was talking, Xu Yue finally woke up from her fantasy world. Seeing that both of them were looking at her with worried expressions, she couldn't help but wonder, "Why are you looking at me?"
"Teacher, what were you laughing at just now?" Su Mu asked.
"Did I laugh out loud?" Xu Yue was embarrassed. She was too embarrassed to tell what she was thinking just now. She could only wave her hands and said, "No... nothing, I just remembered something happy. You guys continue chatting, don't bother me."
Su Mu glanced at Xu Yue, then at Wen Wubin, and his eyes revealed: The teacher really needs some good treatment.
Wen Wubin understood what he meant and nodded to show that he understood.
Now it was Xu Yue's turn to be confused. He frowned and asked, "What kind of riddle are you guys talking about?"
"No, no."
Su Mu didn't dare to say that we suspect you have mental problems, otherwise he would be beaten up by Xu Yue.
Although Su Mu has not seen Xu Yue in action, the fact that even Lu Da could be defeated by her and turned into her "fanboy" shows that she is not only a research-oriented cultivator, but also a practical one.
It’s better not to commit suicide.
Seeing that Xu Yue still had doubts in her eyes, Su Mu quickly changed the subject: "Oh, by the way, Principal Wen, you just said that after the new semester begins, all middle schools will switch to the new Qi-nourishing Technique. But now, there are only a few days left before the middle schools start in September. Is it in time?"
Wen Wubin sighed, looking a little helpless.
"Whether it's too late or not, this matter must be done! This time the Cultivation Education Committee has issued a death order that we must use the new Qi-nourishing Technique in the new semester.
On the one hand, your improved Qi-raising Technique is much better than the old one! Especially after the spiritual energy value exceeds 800, it still has a lot of stamina, which will give many people the opportunity to rush the spiritual energy value to 900 points or even higher before the examination.
On the other hand, the situation does not wait for anyone.
More and more evidence proves that the third secret realm is coming. And those ancient demon gods imprisoned in cages are also ready to move, but there is no news from the good gods, so we can only rely on ourselves. And cultivating more cultivators has become the top priority...
In the past few days, the Cultivation Education Committee has sent a large number of teachers to various provinces and summoned all the cultivation teachers from various middle schools for emergency training. Your improved Qi-nourishing Technique is easy to understand and simple to learn... I believe that although the time is a bit tight, the use of the new version of the textbook and the Qi-nourishing Technique can still be completed smoothly, so you don't have to worry."
Su Mu nodded. From Wen Wubin's words, he realized that the Cultivation Education Committee had a complete set of plans, so he was no longer worried about it.
"By the way, I have found a pharmaceutical factory for you and have drafted a contract. Please take a look at the terms to see if you are satisfied. If you think they are okay, sign the contract immediately so that the pharmaceutical factory can speed up production and put new drugs on the shelves before the start of the new semester to enhance the effect of cultivation."
As he spoke, Wen Wubin raised his hand, and a pile of contracts appeared in his hand. He pointed at them, and after making sure there were no mistakes, he handed them all to Su Mu.
Amiya flew over immediately to help Sumu review the contract. There were a lot of legal provisions stored in her intelligent brain, so it was no problem for her to serve as a legal officer and secretary.
"No need." Su Mu did not give the contract to Amiya for review, but said: "Principal Wen must have looked over these contracts for me. If he can give them to me, there must be no problem."
Given Wen Wubin's protective personality, how could he let him suffer a loss? These contracts were definitely brought to him after being carefully studied by professionals.
This is indeed the case. After getting these contracts, Wen Wubin went directly to the school’s legal department and asked them to help review them.
There were no problems with these contracts. Those with problems had already been thrown out by Wen Wubin. And those who dared to set traps in the contracts were also dealt with by him.
What Su Mu mainly considers are the conditions offered by these pharmaceutical factories.
Wen Wubin was indeed not bragging. He only approached big pharmaceutical companies, and the conditions he negotiated were indeed very good, even exceeding Su Mu's expectations.
Since he was satisfied with the conditions, Su Mu signed his name on the contracts.
He also didn't want to delay the production of the new version of the Qi Refining Pills. After all, he would get a share of the money from every box produced... ahem, no, mainly because he didn't want to delay the studies of his younger generations.
After dealing with the matter of the Qi Refining Pills, Wen Wubin talked to Su Mu about this breakthrough and promotion.
Wen Wubin sighed, "I never thought that you would be promoted to the second level of cultivation not long after you established your foundation. This cultivation speed is unique in the past ten years. It seems that you are determined to firmly establish your title as the fastest man in Qingcheng Mountain Cultivation University!"
Su Mu was completely confused after hearing this.
This title of the fastest boy, I really don’t want it at all!
Before he could speak, Xu Yue also said with a smile: "If other students can be promoted based on their own abilities like you, then the school can save a lot of resources."
"Yes." Wen Wubin nodded in agreement and said sincerely, "If we could have more students like Su Mu, we would have less worries."
Xu Yue glanced at him sideways and said inwardly: Worry-free? That's not necessarily the case...
Su Mu was stunned: "Wait, the school still provides resources for advancing to a higher level?"
Xu Yue nodded and said, "Yes, if you are a student, you can apply to the school and there are resources available."
Su Mu said in his heart, "Fuck it!" "So I'm at a loss? Teacher, Principal Wen, can I get these resources back?"
That's a resource for advancement, so it must be worth a lot of money, right? Not to mention buying it, I can use it in my daily training, or give it as a welfare reward to Caimao, Maosun and the others.
"What do you think?" Wen Wubin asked back.
“…”
Well, no need to ask anymore. Just looking at his expression I know there’s no hope.
"Oh, what a big loss."
Sumu was heartbroken that he failed to get any public benefits.
Next time you advance, don’t be in a hurry. Go to the school and get the resources first, regardless of whether you can use them or not.
This is just like the free gift packs in games. They may not have much value, but if you miss out on them, you will feel like you’ve lost out.
