"Director, you're looking for me?"
It was only after Su Mu arrived at Wen Wubin's office that he discovered that there were several other people here besides Wen Wubin.
Although their cultivation level cannot be seen, judging from their attire and their relationship with Wen Wubin, they are most likely teachers in the school, and their cultivation level and status are not low.
This made Su Mu wonder: why did so many teachers gather together and call him over?
Is it really just for a few papers on elixirs?
"Su Mu is here? Please sit down." Wen Wubin smiled at Su Mu and motioned him to sit down and talk.
As soon as Su Mu sat down, an emerald green spirit bird came with a cup of freshly brewed Snow Bud Spirit Tea and placed it in front of him.
After saying thank you, Su Mu took the Snow Bud Tea, held it in his hand but did not rush to drink it. He just looked at Wen Wubin, waiting for his instructions.
Wen Wubin didn't get straight to the point, but asked him a few words of concern first: "You have been learning pill recipes and spells with Xu Yue these days, right? How is your study going?"
Su Mu sat upright and replied, "In reply to the director, the teacher has indeed started to teach me the recipes and spells. I have tried my best to learn, and the progress is pretty good."
The progress is more than acceptable, it is almost draining Xu Yue's money.
However, the Qi-cultivation (pretending) skills that Xu Yue learned from Wen Wubin were very solid. Even though she was surprised and frightened by Su Mu's learning speed, she did not show it on her face at all.
At least in front of Su Mu, Xu Yue always behaved calmly, as if learning quickly and well was nothing strange or something to be proud of.
Xu Yue's attitude influenced Su Mu.
Although he knew that his academic performance was definitely better than others, he was not sure whether Xu Yue would be satisfied.
What if Xu Yue and Wen Wubin have higher expectations of him?
So his answer was neither pretentious nor humble, but he really felt that he had only barely satisfied Xu Yue and had not yet reached a level that would make her happy.
All I can say is that Xu Yue's skills in maintaining her spirit (and pretending to be cool) are very good. Even when she is panicking and frightened inside, she is still able to appear calm and composed.
Wen Wubin nodded and was about to say something encouraging when a teacher next to him interrupted with interest and asked, "Sumu, how many days have you been learning pill formulas and spells from Xu Yue? How much have you learned?"
After saying that, he picked up the Snow Bud Tea in his hand, blew on it gently, and then brought it to his mouth and started drinking.
"I have been studying for a week. I have mastered thirteen recipes and six spells..."
"puff!"
When the teacher heard Su Mu's words, he was shocked and choked on the tea. Not only did he spit it all out, he also coughed continuously. It was not until he circulated his spiritual energy that he was able to suppress the cough.
He looked at Su Mu with an expression of disbelief: "You learned thirteen pill recipes and six spells in a week? Are you sure you learned them all?"
In the room, other teachers also turned their eyes to Su Mu.
Although they were not professional teachers of alchemy, they knew that it was not easy to learn one recipe or one spell in a week, let alone thirteen recipes and six spells.
Was Su Mu lying? Or was Xu Yue irresponsible, teaching Su Mu the recipes and spells without caring how well he learned?
Wen Wubin also became interested and said, "Have you refined any of the thirteen recipes into pills? Take them out and let us see."
He knew how amazing Su Mu's learning ability was, so he did not have the doubts of other teachers. He simply thought that this was a good opportunity to show off.
Come, come, let me show you how powerful my Su Mu is!
What I like to see most is the surprised looks on the faces of people like you who have never seen the world.
Su Mu Haozhen actually made corresponding pills based on the thirteen recipes.
This was also the homework assigned to him by Xu Yue.
Fortunately, Xu Yue returned all the homework to him after "marking" it. Hearing Wen Wubin's words, he took out the thirteen kinds of elixirs.
Before he could put the pills on the table, Wen Wubin waved his hand, and thirteen kinds of pills flew up by themselves and fell into the hands of the teachers in the room.
"Take a look at Sumu's recent learning achievements and give me some suggestions."
Although most of the teachers in the room were from other majors, they still had the vision and ability to appreciate low-level elixirs. With just one glance, they could tell the quality of these elixirs, which were all top-notch.
"Is this... really what you learned this week?" a teacher asked. He was not doubting Su Mu, but just felt surprised.
"Yes." Su Mu nodded.
The teachers stopped talking and just stared at Su Mu, thinking in unison: "What kind of monster is this!"
When Wen Wubin saw their reactions, his heart was filled with joy, but he pretended to be extremely calm. With a wave of his hand, all the pills returned to Su Mu's hands.
"Put it away. Your achievements are insignificant. Don't show off in front of others, or you'll be laughed at."
Su Mu replied "yes" and put the pill into his space bracelet.
All the teachers in the room were speechless.
Wen Wubin, will you die if you don’t pretend to be cool?
Su Mu has learned so many recipes and spells in just one week - although he hasn't seen the spells yet, he has mastered the recipes so well, which shows that his spells should not be bad - and you actually say that this achievement is insignificant?
So what kind of results do you need to deserve a good review?
You, Wen Wubin, were far inferior to Su Mu back then, right? Then what are you? Not even insignificant?
Also, you actually had the nerve to warn Su Mu not to show off in front of others... He never thought of showing off from the beginning to the end, it was all instigated by you, old man!
If Su Mu had not been here, and had to maintain the teacher's bearing and demeanor in front of the students, these teachers would have probably spat at Wenwu Bin hatui long ago.
Wen Wubin noticed everyone's reaction and was delighted. He asked again, "The paper I asked you to write before..."
Su Muxin thought, are you really here for the thesis? He said hurriedly, "I'm already writing it, and it will be finished soon."
"Yeah." Wen Wubin nodded, and glanced at the other teachers in the room. His meaning was very clear: Did you see that? My Sumu is not only good at studying, but also can write papers! Oh, by the way, his paper was previously published in the "Journal of Cultivation Studies". Can your students do it? Is it good to have him? Oh, ho, ho, ho...
The teachers couldn't stand it any longer, mainly because they didn't want to be shown off anymore, so they said, "Old Wen, stop wasting time and get down to business!"
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business."
Seeing the excitement among the crowd, Wen Wubin could not continue to show off. He first reminded them: "It doesn't matter if you write slowly when writing a paper. The key is to have good quality. Don't write carelessly just because you are in a hurry!"
After Su Mu responded with a "yes", he continued: "I called you here today because I want you to help me with some ideas. After all, the suggestions you made for the points task before were all very good. Everyone agreed that you had a lot of bad... ahem, good ideas. I would like to ask you for another favor."
Su Muxin said: What happened again and you want me to give you advice?
Fortunately, Wen Wubin did not keep the person in suspense and directly explained the situation.
"Recently, many ferocious beasts and monsters have appeared in the world. You should know this."
Su Mu nodded.
Recently, the frequency and number of vicious beasts and monsters have increased significantly compared to previous years, especially after the Minjiang River evil dragon caused a flood, which reached a peak.
This matter has been mentioned many times in the news, reminding people to be careful when traveling and to call the police immediately if they find anything wrong.
As for the origins of these ferocious beasts and monsters, there are many different opinions.
Some people say that the blockade of some dangerous places and desperate situations has been loosened, allowing these things to escape; others say that it is a sign that a new secret realm is about to come!
As for the specific reasons, the official has not yet reached a conclusion.
“We suspect that the appearance of these ferocious beasts and monsters is related to the new secret realm!
In order to train students' practical combat capabilities to prepare for upcoming changes, and also to protect the country and the people, we have specially increased the proportion of hunting, patrolling, and subjugation tasks in the mission cycle. At the same time, based on the intelligence we have obtained, we have limited the number of team members and their skills.
For example, for the coyote hunting mission, we limit the cultivation level to level one and the number of team members to five.
Because coyotes are ferocious beasts that live in groups, usually there are about a dozen or twenty coyotes in a group.
The five first-level students can defeat them, but it will take a hard fight. They may get hurt, but there will be no casualties.
In this way, we can not only eliminate the ferocious beasts and protect the lives and property of the people, but also have the effect of actual combat training. "
Su Mu nodded. This arrangement sounded very good and mature. Why did they ask him for advice?
As if seeing his confusion, Wen Wubin made a bitter face and explained the reason.
"But we never expected that these students would not follow any rules at all!"
"Let's take the coyote hunting mission as an example. Do you know how those students did it? They accepted the mission in groups of five, and after arriving at the mission point, they actually formed another team..."
"Forming a team again?" Su Mu didn't quite understand.
"It's just that several small teams come together to form a larger team."
A teacher nearby interrupted to explain.
Now Su Mu understood.
This is the rhythm of team battles and gang battles.
Wen Wubin continued.
"Originally, a group of five people would have to fight hard to win against a group of coyotes. But with what they did, it became a group of dozens of people surrounding and suppressing the coyotes. Often, the coyotes were taken away by their concentrated fire before they even had time to react.
Yes, the mission was accomplished, but the meaning of actual combat training was lost!
Later, we introduced new rules, strictly prohibiting outdoor team formation and prohibiting more than five people from fighting a group of coyotes, and the situation improved. But soon these students who did not follow the routine came up with new ways to exploit loopholes. "
"What method?" Su Mu asked curiously.
He was really interested.
These students really put a lot of effort into "cheating" and were very creative. It's really admirable.
