Chapter 508: A Hundred Years Plan

As an old player, [Handsome] more or less knows that Wang Ergou has some connections - although he really can't figure out why the flower grower would bother with a game, he does have some guesses.

For example, maybe some new technology is being tested in an alternative way. After all, when non-invasive brain-computer interfaces appeared and were even included in medical insurance and popularized as virtual reality games, many people lamented that it took several years for cyberpunk to become reality. The development of technology does always give everyone a surprise and shock every few years.

Therefore, if Wang Ergou said it was reliable, then it was probably really reliable, so [Handsome Boy] decisively chose to listen to the advice, eat his fill, and was immediately teleported to Taiyin Palace.

The Taiyin Palace is always overcrowded. In view of the ever-increasing demand, the number of NPCs in the hall responsible for receiving temporary requests from players for various tasks has increased to more than a dozen.

These NPCs each have a desk, and there is a very small hemispherical barrier around the desk, which is also called "bubble" or "bubble barrier" by players. It can isolate sounds and blur human figures.

There are more than twenty tables (bubble barriers) in the entire hall, but according to the rotation situation, they are not full, and most of the time there are only a dozen NPCs.

Compared to the initial situation when there were only two NPCs, Elder Lu Ying and Senior Sister Baili Shuang, it is now very "rich", but the number of players has also increased a lot, so there are still long queues in front of each bubble barrier.

That’s it. Daily tasks have been extracted and changed to a situation where they can be accepted and submitted separately on the system page!

[Handsome guy] also waited in line for several minutes before it was his turn.

He was queuing for a new NPC named Li Chengze, whose title was Taiyin Sect's Grand Elder of Internal Affairs. He was added after the vacancies were opened up several times. The background story was that a reclusive elder of the Taiyin Sect came out to assist Sect Master Fang in managing the sect, nothing special.

This Elder Li only works in the main hall for half an hour every day, sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon, it's not fixed. [Handsome guy] queues up in his line purely because there are relatively fewer people in his line.

When it was [Handsome]'s turn, Li Chengze asked with a smile: "It's [Handsome], what can I do for you?"

He looked as if he knew [Handsome] - but in fact, [Handsome] was meeting this new NPC for the first time!

[Handsome] took a deep breath, suppressed the inexplicable tension, and explained: "Elder, elder, I want to build a school, but I encountered some difficulties, so I asked my relatives and friends for their opinions. Wang Ergou said that I could ask the elders for their opinions, maybe it would be helpful..."

Unexpectedly, Elder Li was really interested. He asked in surprise: "Oh? Build a school? What kind of school?"

"That's right. Didn't the master-disciple system just open up today? Then I registered a disciple, who is a demon cultivator. However, my disciple is a demon cultivator who has just awakened to wisdom. He doesn't even know the most basic cultivation. You see, this is the problem. I don't know how to do it either! So I thought about building a truly inclusive and open school, teaching from the most basic introduction to cultivation, and even how to survive in society. Then the students recruited are demon cultivators, ghost cultivators, and the like, who have a hard time surviving and have no place to learn basic knowledge and general education..."

The more he talked, the more excited [Handsome] became. He kept chattering, "Of course, humans can be accepted too! Even if there are any Quanxian people or dragon people in the future, we can accept them too! In short, it is a school for all races, teaching them the most basic cultivation and finally classifying them into categories, such as talisman cultivation, formation cultivation, magic cultivation, etc.!"

"Well, that's a very good idea. I didn't expect that [Handsome] actually had such a great ambition. The sect encourages you to do this!" Elder Li nodded graciously, praised him, and then asked, "What are the problems you mentioned?"

"It's like this," [Handsome] scratched his head awkwardly and explained, "Because we are more concerned about helping those demon cultivators or other races who have just awakened their spiritual intelligence to study, we can't charge tuition. If the groups that really need education are isolated from the school because of the high tuition, then the school loses its meaning of existence, so it is difficult to determine the source of funds for the school..."

The more he talked, the more embarrassed [Handsome] became.

Although his original intention was to come to the sect NPC at Wang Ergou's instigation to ask if there was any way to maintain the operation of the school while helping those who could not afford the tuition to go to school, the implication of his words sounded too much like begging - he was just short of asking the NPC for money directly!

However, although [Handsome] was embarrassed, Elder Li had a gratified smile on his face and threw out an answer that surprised [Handsome] very much: "You have thought very well about this aspect, and you have indeed thought of a problem that our sect management has never thought of. It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Simply improving the treatment of demon cultivators and temporary assistance courses cannot solve the fundamental problem. It is also our dereliction of duty..."

Elder Li said this with a reflective look on his face. He sighed and continued, "But your idea is very good. The sect will definitely support it. Let's do this. I will discuss with the sect master and the elders later... ahem, if possible, we will directly set up a project and you will be the person in charge. Apply for funds from the sect. This way, the sect will allocate funds to support it every year, just like Zhongzhou University. There will be no need to worry that the groups that really need it will not be able to pay the tuition!"

[Handsome] heard this and widened his eyes, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Really? Really?!"

Elder Li smiled and nodded: "Of course, this is a good thing, and it is also something that our sect supports. So, I will issue you a task, you can start to prepare to pick a place, or think about the whole plan. It would be better if you can write a more intuitive plan. If you really can't, it doesn't matter, you can think about it more. After I finish discussing it, I will send someone to help you."

[Handsome Guy] was so excited that he almost jumped up: "Wow! A hidden mission!? It's a hidden mission, right? Is it a golden hidden mission!?"

"Hehe, don't get too excited, wait a moment..."

Elder Li said a soothing word casually, and then looked straight ahead - he seemed to be processing the game system in his field of vision like a player.

About two minutes later, a clear and pleasant reminder sounded, and [Handsome] found that a golden hidden task was flashing in his taskbar.

[Education is the foundation of a century-long plan]: [Your idea has been appreciated by Elder Li. He decided to discuss it with the sect master and other elders. Please wait until tomorrow... (Reward: Exp, 3000 points of sect contribution value, 3000 points of sect prestige value, limited mysterious props)]
