Chapter 49 Research Conference 2: The probability of world change has increased, therefore it is impossible...
Clan schools have existed in Jinling City for many years. Because they are respected, most of the teachers and elders of clan schools have developed an attitude of "being superior to others," except for Teacher Guo.
She is the younger sister of Master Guo, a sword cultivator. Neither of them comes from a prominent family, and they rely on each other for survival in the clan school.
Because he wasn't from a prominent family, Commander Guo was assigned a seemingly lucrative but actually pitiful position: managing the finances of the entire clan school.
More accurately, the manager was in charge of attracting investment.
Whenever someone mentions it, they express their envy. At that moment, she wishes she could immediately give up her seat and say, "Come, come, sit down!" so she can go and submit her resignation.
The reason for this is that there are three powerful families, and none of them are willing to invest more than the others, which is a classic case of too many cooks spoiling the broth.
In previous years, when the three great families were making money, things were alright, but in the last two years, their lives have become less comfortable, and the clan school is also struggling even more.
As a result, the academic conference has not been held for several years. Commander Guo is extremely anxious, fearing that if this continues, the cultivators of Jinling City will gradually fall behind other places due to the lack of training.
The further a clan falls behind other places, the lower its status will become. The lower it becomes, the less willing the clan families will be to invest, thus creating a vicious cycle.
If things really develop like this, people like her who aren't from a prominent family will probably have even less of a chance to rise in society.
Anyone who's been raising investment for years knows that temper is a completely foreign concept to them.
Teacher Guo was just as unyielding, making him stand out among the other teachers at the clan school.
She noticed that Xie Jiaoyue wasn't feeling well, so she offered her a pill to restore her strength and a small chair. They continued their conversation once Xie Jiaoyue had recovered.
She smiled warmly at Xie Jiaoyue: "Calling her Jiaoyue directly is too blunt, isn't it? We can change it, like 'Bright Moon Cup' or something. What kind of cup does young friend Xie like?"
Xie Jiaoyue's weakness and flushed face had faded considerably, and she had regained her composure.
She took several deep breaths to make sure she was fully recovered and wouldn't act inappropriately before saying, "How about the Moonlit Cup?"
She's not the kind of person who does good deeds anonymously; she wants to announce it to the world.
This was funded exclusively by the Xie family's eldest branch. Among the dazzling array of prizes, apart from the secret realm slots, everything else was fully sponsored by their family, so naturally, she and her mother's names had to be included.
Oh no, the main house actually has three people.
Xie Jiaoyue pondered for a moment: "Let's call it the 'Shou Rao Cup,' it sounds more grand."
Although she wasn't very familiar with Gongshi Moyu, she reluctantly included his name in the list, because a family should be complete.
I'll find some time later to tell my mother and Moyu the good news.
Commander Guo naturally agreed.
She cautiously discussed with Xie Jiaoyue, "Young friend Xie, although the name can be anything, if you want to participate in the competition, this ranking..."
"Commander, you can rest assured. Although I also want to get first place, it will definitely be based on my own strength and not on other reasons. Otherwise, wouldn't the title of first place be tarnished? Just be fair. I am not the kind of person who makes trouble unreasonably."
Xie Jiaoyue made a small joke: "Actually, I already got a little preferential treatment because I knew about this in advance. How could I possibly ask for any other special treatment?"
Commander Guo breathed a sigh of relief. She knew Xie Lingliu and learned a little about Xie Jiaoyue from her. She thought she was a spoiled young lady, but she didn't expect her to be so reasonable.
Commander Guo felt a surge of goodwill towards Xie Jiaoyue and even offered her some advice: "You are born with the body of a furnace, so your physique and strength will be weaker than ordinary people. Although you can make up for it through diligent cultivation, it is not appropriate to compete with others in this aspect. Why not take this opportunity to study and learn from the strengths of other Daoist methods? It might be of some help."
Xie Jiaoyue suddenly understood. No wonder she always felt there was something wrong with her training progress; the problem lay here.
It seems she needs to find time to study her own "furnace physique" and see if there are any other hidden dangers.
"With the guidance of my teachers, I will definitely make good use of this opportunity."
Faced with such a generous benefactor, Commander Guo grew to like him more and more.
"Then it's settled. I'll organize all the expenses for you to review. I'm not a greedy person, and all this money will definitely be spent on the disciples. There won't be any problems."
Xie Jiaoyue naturally believed him. Commander Guo was a partner she had specifically chosen. He was the kind of person who would rather work himself to exhaustion than take more than his share.
Honest and straightforward people are the kind who are easily bullied in the workplace. I wonder if this research conference can be counted as a result of Teacher Guo's achievements, allowing her to complete some KPIs ahead of schedule.
"Of course I trust you, Master. If there's nothing else today, I'll take my leave now. Please take these spirit stones and use them first."
Commander Guo was beaming as he held a large bag of spirit stones.
How many years has it been since she fought such a lucrative battle? This time, she is determined to make the academic conference a resounding success and live up to the trust of her benefactor!
Before leaving, Commander Guo remembered that his elder brother was also there, so he went over to say hello.
"elder brother."
Commander Guo beamed with joy when he saw his sister: "You've come at the perfect time. I've discovered a promising talent and was just about to introduce you to him."
Commander Guo looked around but couldn't find Chu Xingjin. He only saw Xie Jiaoyue walking away. "That's not right. I just saw that kid following behind Xie Jiaoyue."
Commander Guo said, "Brother, have you taken a liking to Chu Xingjin? Why? I think Jiaoyue's talent seems to be more outstanding."
Elder Guo shook his head smugly: "You don't understand. My school values sharpness and ruthlessness. Someone like Jiaoyue, who is willing to spend money to hold an academic conference for you, is too soft-hearted. She doesn't conform to my principles."
Commander Guo was furious and spouted nonsense. In her eyes, Xie Jiaoyue was the best, and her sugar daddy deserved everything!
Xie Jiaoyue had something on her mind, and she walked very fast, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
She returned to her residence.
We need to fix the system first.
She didn't consider herself a particularly virtuous person, and she had no intention of spending money or seeking the limelight. The reason she sponsored the research conference was because the system had finally released its fifth task.
The task requirement is very simple: [Hold an academic conference/research meeting]
This wasn't something written in the plot; she wanted to get some information out of him.
[Ah Tong, why do I feel like the way you're assigning tasks is getting more and more perfunctory?]
Think back to the very first mission. It was given very detailed information, including where she was to go and what she was to do. It made it clear at a glance how she was supposed to help Chu Xingjin and what kind of assistance she was supposed to provide.
If the tasks afterward have few requirements, they generally follow the plot. For example, the task of attending Xin Xiuying's birthday party was clearly designed to create opportunities for the male and female leads.
But this time, it was completely unrelated and incomplete.
Xie Jiaoyue was completely baffled, so she had no choice but to ask the system in question: "I don't know what to do anymore."
The system slowly analyzed Xie Jiaoyue's question: [The system detected a decrease in the world's protagonist Chu Xingjin's power, increasing the probability of world changes; therefore, no clear task prompts can be provided.]
What's the meaning? ? ?
Does this mean the protagonist of the world can change, or is it because she has been suppressing Chu Xingjin, causing this world to be on the verge of collapse?
[Ah Tong, explain yourself clearly! Will our world be destroyed? Or is it just Chu Xingjin himself who is facing a crisis? If his power declines further, will I no longer have to be cannon fodder? And will Feng Qianqian no longer have to be the female lead?]
Xie Jiaoyue had a feeling that it was the latter answer. She was extremely excited. Did she also have a chance to break free from the shackles of the mission?
The system did not answer all of Xie Jiaoyue's questions, concisely stating: "The world will not be destroyed."
As if to prevent Xie Jiaoyue from having any wild thoughts, the usually taciturn system added a few more words: 【Please remember your character's persona and avoid being out of character.】
Using English abbreviations in the world of cultivation sounds strange.
But Xie Jiaoyue still understood from the simple three letters that no matter what would happen to Chu Xingjin and Feng Qianqian in the future, she still had to do her mission and continue to be a love-struck person.
The revolution is not yet complete; comrades must continue to strive.
Life is not just about the future ending, but also about the research conference in front of us.
A lot of money has already been spent. If she doesn't work hard, she can already tell that this is Chu Xingjin's stage, and Chu Xingjin will definitely win first place.
If Chu Xingjin's power rises again, wouldn't all her previous efforts be in vain?
Most importantly, the money is wasted. What's the point of money if you don't have it? It's just waste paper, or rather, waste stone.
Although the academic conference is still more than a month away, it's time to start looking for teammates.
Xie Jiaoyue's first thought was Feng Qianqian.
She is a sword cultivator, while Feng Qianqian, although she cultivates the Phoenix Inheritance, is not a complete body cultivator, but also has half fire magic bloodline, as the phoenix is reborn.
The research conference has no fixed requirements, the only requirement is to cross the Dao method, so Feng Qianqian is suitable.
Moreover, if she doesn't invite Feng Qianqian, Chu Xingjin will.
Feng Qianqian's family is powerful and can provide many rare treasures. She is also very talented. If her rivals manage to steal her away, it would be a huge disadvantage.
Some people might think that targeting an opponent in advance is a despicable tactic, and that a true cultivator should not consider any external forces and should only rely on their own strength to win.
But Xie Jiaoyue had no mental burden at all. Cultivation was like the business world, and the business world was like a battlefield. She didn't mind using a little trickery.
Now she's going to snatch Feng Qianqian away!
After Xie Jiaoyue finished talking to the system, she immediately went out to knock on Feng Qianqian's door.
There was no response.
Logically speaking, Feng Qianqian should have returned by now.
She continued knocking, and with a bang, the door opened directly.
Nobody's here.
My house has been broken into!!
