Chapter 149: A fairly generous reward (more updates, please subscribe!)



In Wen Wubin's office, a gilded toad incense burner was lying in the corner, opening its mouth from time to time and spitting out a scent of medicine.

The medicinal fragrance it exhaled was in the shape of a circle. After surging and rising to a certain height, it would dissipate and turn into a faint medicinal fragrance that enveloped the entire room. Anyone who smelled this medicinal fragrance would feel refreshed and their condition would instantly improve.

At this moment, Wen Wubin had returned to the office, and Su Mu had also arrived. He was standing in front of the desk, holding the academic journals handed to him by Wen Wubin, and flipping through them one by one. The smile on his face could not be hidden at all, and he did not try to hide it.

As Su Mu flipped through the book, he exclaimed, "It really is a journal of cultivation studies. It's different from ordinary magazines."

His praise was not polite but came from the bottom of his heart.

Because these academic journals all use some cultivation techniques, which makes them look very cool.

Like the "Chinese Alchemy Journal" that Su Mu is flipping through at the moment, the cover is very simple, just a few words and a medicinal herb.

But when you pick up the book, the herb will seem to come alive, growing and blooming rapidly, and releasing a faint medicinal fragrance, allowing you to read the book more carefully and attentively.

As for several other academic journals, they are also extraordinary.

The cover of "Journal of Talisman Array" is a mysterious and profound rune, which is constantly changing, indicating that the art of talisman array is constantly improving.

At first glance, the "Strength of Magical Instruments" journal looks like a small matchbox. When you put your hand on it, the small matchbox will immediately change, just like the transformation of Transformers. It is quite cool. However, it eventually turns into not a robot, but a book.

The most luxurious thing is the magazine "Dingshi".

Its cover doesn't have any special features, but when you open it, you'll find that the first color page contains a spiritual dish sealed with space magic. Not only can you read it, you can also take it out and taste it.

Buying an academic magazine and getting a divine dish for free is definitely a very extravagant idea. After all, how much does a book cost?

However, Dingshi Magazine will definitely not lose money, and it may even make a lot of money. Because the spiritual dishes in the first color page are mostly advertisements, and the advertisers not only have to show the spiritual dishes, but also have to pay the advertising fees. But the effect is also very good, not only is it cool, but it can also immediately increase its popularity and attract a lot of business.

Wen Wubin looked at Su Mu with a smile without saying a word.

After he had read through all the academic journals, he put away his smile and said seriously, "I hope these articles are just your starting point, not your end. I also look forward to your future articles being published in these academic journals, or even more and better academic journals."

Su Mu put away his pride and nodded, "I will try my best."

Xu Yue was also in the office. After all, Su Mu was under her supervision now, and she had to be informed when the paper was published.

After listening to the conversation between Wen Wubin and Su Mu, she couldn't help but feel mixed emotions.

The academic journals that published Su Mu's papers are all first-class in China and are also well-known internationally.

Even for spiritual teachers like them, if they can publish one or two articles in these academic journals, it is a matter of pride. It can even have a great effect on the improvement of teacher ratings, professional title assessments, and even wages, welfare benefits, etc.

Su Mu had just successfully established his foundation... No, to be more precise, he had just entered the school not long ago, but he had articles published in these top academic journals.

It is really admirable and enviable.

But from the teacher's tone, it seems that he is still not satisfied? Is he still expecting Su Mu to write more good articles and publish them in these academic journals, or even better academic journals?

Isn't this a bit like being greedy?

It is not clear whether Wen Wubin is greedy or not, but Xu Yue was right about one thing, that is, Wen Wubin was indeed not very satisfied with this matter.

The reason is very simple. For Su Mu's articles published in first-class academic journals, Qingcheng Mountain Cultivation University was not the only unit to sign them, but they were co-signed by several other Shu Province Cultivation Universities.

That is why Wen Wubin hopes that Su Mu can write some more high-quality articles and publish them in more important academic journals.

By that time, there would be only one unit, Qingcheng Mountain Cultivation University. No matter how powerful other schools were, they could not expect to get a piece of the pie.

Because of this, Wen Wubin was very satisfied with Su Mu's answer.

He smiled and nodded, opened the drawer, took out an envelope and handed it to Su Mu.

"After your papers were published, the total amount of royalties from various journals was about 100,000 yuan. In addition, the school and various professional departments also provided rewards. However, because your papers were recommended by all the cultivation universities in Shu Province, not exclusively by our school, the rewards will not be too much, but there are still more than 100,000 yuan in cash. In addition, there are some rewards for cultivation supplies and materials, all of which are in this envelope."

After a pause, Wen Wubin reminded again: "Take this envelope back and open it. There is a one-time space rune attached to it. After opening it, everything in the dimensional space will be poured out and cannot be put back."

Su Mu was just wondering, two or three hundred thousand in cash, plus a bunch of training supplies and materials, how could it be put into a small envelope? Could it be that there were notes inside that he had to take to the logistics department to get someone to stamp before he could apply for the reward?

After listening to Wen Wubin's explanation, I realized that this envelope, which looked simple, actually had a disposable space rune attached to it, and was a disposable space magic weapon.

It's worthy of being a university of cultivation. The bonuses and rewards are all carried by disposable space instruments. It's simply luxurious.

After Su Mu accepted the envelope, Wen Wubin said, "When you write papers for publication in the future, as long as our Qingcheng Mountain Cultivation University is the only unit in the unit column, then the rewards from both the school and the department will be increased several times. So work hard and write more articles."

After that, Wen Wubin made a joke: "Don't worry, the school and the department are still rich. We are not afraid that you will take too much reward, we are only afraid that you will not come to take it."

Su Mu thought about it in his mind and felt that this deal... no, this thing, was really worth doing.

Publishing a paper in a first-class journal may be difficult for others, but it is not a problem for Su Mu who has a krypton gold plug-in.

This not only earns you royalties and rewards, but also helps you gain fame and status, and improve your position in the eyes of the big guys in the school.

Apart from anything else, if I could really produce a few good papers, it would be easier for me to get factory land from the school, right?

This is a win-win situation, so why not do it?

So Su Mu said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I feel relieved with what the director said. After I go back, I will write a few papers and try to get them published, so that I can earn more rewards from the school and the department. When the time comes, please help me check it."

Wen Wubin smiled and said, "No problem. Once you've written it, show it to Xu Yue first. If she thinks it's okay, she'll hand it over to me. I'll help you with the final hurdle and submit it to relevant academic journals. My reputation is still worth something. Although I can't let you get published through the back door, it's no problem to shorten the review time."

Su Mu said hurriedly: "Then I would like to thank the director and Teacher Xu first."

In fact, this time, the fact that Su Mu's article was able to pass review and be published so quickly was largely due to the help of a bunch of teachers from Shu Province Xiuzhen University in recommending it. Otherwise, it would take at least another two months to get the result.

Next, Su Mu and Wen Wubin chatted for a few more words, and then Su Mu took the envelope and several academic journals, and followed Xu Yue to leave Wen Wubin's office.

After leaving the office, Xu Yue exclaimed, "You are really amazing. You have only been in school for less than a month, right? And you have already published an article in a first-class academic journal. And it's not just one article. I have worked in school for so many years, and I have only published a few articles in first-class journals, not as many as you."

Although Su Mu was praised, he did not get carried away. He smiled and flattered her: "Teacher, you are too modest. You mainly use your time and energy to teach us students and have no time to work on papers. Otherwise, you would have published a lot. It's us who hold you back."

"Your words are as sweet as honey." Xu Yue smiled and shook her head, "You know your own abilities best. I'm not as good as you say."

Then he stopped talking about this topic and said, "The violent factor in the cat general you gave me has been mostly removed. In a few days, it should be able to fully recover."

Su Mu said hurriedly: "Thank you, teacher, you have worked hard. You see, should I treat you to a meal to express my gratitude, or send you a fruit basket?"

Xu Yue knew that this boy was joking with her and was indeed amused.

He smiled and waved his hands: "Forget about the dinner. I've been busy lately and I really can't spare the time. As for the fruit basket, that's even more unnecessary. If you really send a fruit basket, it will most likely not be eaten, but will be used as experimental subjects by the people in the laboratory building."

The two chatted and laughed all the way out of the Academic Affairs Building of the Alchemy Department.

Xu Yue originally wanted to send Su Mu off, but after being politely declined, she did not force it. She summoned her flying sword, jumped up, and flew towards the experimental building.

Su Mu waved to the lovebirds that were waiting for him on a tree nearby, and flew back to the yard on the lovebirds.

After pushing open the door and entering the yard, Su Mu took out the envelope and opened it.

A halo of light flickered on the opening of the envelope, and then a large amount of things poured out of the envelope like water, falling to the ground with a "clatter".

The Lingshen was startled and was almost drowned by these things.

Su Mu pointed and found that there were not only 300,000 in cash, as well as spiritual rice, spiritual tea and other things that are beneficial to the body and cultivation, but also many materials needed to draw talismans, make tools, refine pills and cook dishes.

It seems that this time, although the school and the department did not give too much cash, they did make certain compensation in terms of training supplies and materials.

Most likely it was Wen Wubin who fought for it for him.
