"Your Majesty, over the past year, the number of magic schools in the empire has increased dramatically again."

"We now have 75 higher-level magic schools, a 50 percent increase from last year."

"There are 828 elementary magic schools, an increase of 180% compared to last year."

“There are 13,028 enlightenment colleges, an increase of 332% compared to last year.”

In the emperor's study by the lake, the Minister of Education of the Natural Empire was concentrating on reporting the latest college data.

The Minister of Education was none other than Aaron’s former guardian sage, Sanchester.

In the past nearly three years, Rosen has gradually promoted him to an eighth-ring wizard, and made him young again.

Today, Sanchester looks like a middle-aged man who is less than 40 years old.

Sanchester also attached great importance to the position of Minister of Education. He believed that he shouldered the sacred responsibility for the future destiny of the empire, so he worked extremely hard.

He continued to report.

"According to statistics, 90% of the citizens' right to education in the Empire has been realized."

"In the past year, approximately 7.6 million children of school age entered Head Start schools to learn basic knowledge for a period of five years."

"After completing the study, the child will be able to achieve basic literacy and arithmetic skills, complete the enlightenment of magic practice, and establish a basic understanding of the world, empire, and magic."

“If they meet the requirements for promotion, they will be admitted to the primary college to continue their studies.”

"Currently, the chance of promotion is not high, only 15%."

Rosen listened carefully and asked, "What are the reasons for the low promotion rate?"

"The root cause is that the development speed is too fast. The various facilities and personnel have no time to keep up, and the people have no time to adapt to the new changes."

"Crash~~"

Sanchester instructed the assistant beside him to place a document on Rosen's desk.

"Your Majesty, this is the report obtained after a sample survey of enlightenment academies in various places."

"You see, although the number of colleges has increased explosively, the number and quality of tutors, and the number and quality of various teaching aids are very average and can only meet the most basic teaching needs."

"In addition, most parents do not attach importance to their children's learning, do not have high expectations, and are not able to help their children in their studies."

"Finally, the status and remuneration of enlightenment tutors are still not high enough, and the professional ethics and social moral expectations of the profession have not yet been formed."

"For various reasons, most young mages regard this profession as a short-term transition and focus most of their energy on finding a better new job rather than improving their own education and skills."

Rosen flipped through the information quickly.

The information was detailed and specific, showing a development model that was like a flash flood. Combined with the content of the daily prayers of nature believers, the two were confirmed, allowing Rosen to have a comprehensive and detailed understanding of the situation of the empire's enlightenment education.

He gently pressed his hand on the information: "To be able to achieve this in just a few years is already very good."

"I will try my best to increase investment in enlightenment education. And sir, your future work focus will be on improving the promotion rate."

"It should be as high as possible, reaching more than 80%. But be careful not to relax the promotion standards in order to increase the promotion rate."

Sanchester showed a hint of hesitation on his face: "If the promotion rate is so high, then the number and scale of elementary magic schools are far from enough."

Rosen waved his hand.

“If there is not enough, build it!”

"The new city of Mondaniya has been basically built, and a large number of construction teams are looking for new work to do. Let them build the college."

"There are still countless young mages who can't find jobs, so it's a good opportunity to let them become tutors in elementary schools."

Since the emperor said so, Sanchester naturally had no problem.

He continued to report new data.

"In June this year, the number of students who took the graduation exam at the Higher School of Magic was 400,000, and the number of students who successfully graduated was 180,000, with a graduation rate of 45%."

"The average age of the graduates is 20, and the median mana practice level is 4.3."

"Among them, the number of graduates with a score higher than 5 reached 40,000, the number of graduates with a score higher than 6 reached 5,000, and finally 33 graduates with a score higher than 7."

This data made Rosen very happy: "Oh ~ very good ~ much better than I expected."

This is the data for one year's graduation. As long as the data is accumulated from the previous generation, it will be enough to bring about a complete transformation in the level of magic of the people of the Natural Empire.

In a generation, let alone surpassing the Glorious Empire, even the former Republic of Nahuat and the Holy Elf Empire that has accumulated outstanding talents for thousands of years will be left behind by the Natural Empire.

And with so many graduates of advanced magic entering society every year, it is bound to have an extremely strong driving force on the development of various fields in the Natural Empire.

It can be expected that in a few years, the empire's magical level will experience another extremely violent explosion.

Rosen is very much looking forward to this.

On the other side, Sanchester laughed and said, "It is indeed a very astonishing statistic. I heard that various government departments and major military units are almost fighting for outstanding talents."

In order to compete for a seventh-ring magic genius, the military and political departments used all means possible.

This is naturally a good thing. No matter how much they grab, it will ultimately serve His Majesty the Emperor.

Rosen smiled and said, "Have the outstanding graduates this year been selected?"

"I've chosen them. Here's the list."

Sanchester handed over a thick list containing the names and information of 1,000 graduates.

Rosen looked at them carefully, one by one.

This list has a name, called "Rising Sun List", which was proposed by Rosen and is part of the Empire's "Divine Favor Plan".

The so-called "God's Favor Plan" is announced to the outside world that Rosen, the true God husband, will select a group of top magic geniuses with outstanding talents and character in the mortal world.

Then, Mother Nature will bestow divine grace upon these mages to help them break through the ring wall and improve their level of magical practice, so as to increase the number of cutting-edge magical talents in the empire.

Such a huge divine grace has greatly consolidated Rosen's status as the Emperor of Nature, and also greatly enhanced the value of the true God Mother of Nature.

Naturally, the conditions for being selected into the "Chaoyang List" are also quite strict.

Currently, 400,000 people take the college graduation examination every year, but only 1,000 are finally selected, with a selection rate of less than 0.3%.

Everyone knows that once you are selected into the Chaoyang list and become a divinely favored wizard, it is equivalent to embarking on the smooth road of life, so everyone is scrambling to get it.

It's very flexible, but the results are amazing.

In less than two years since the implementation of the "Divine Favor Plan", 23 ten-ring mages, 121 nine-ring mages, and 328 eight-ring mages have been trained.

"Clatter, clatter~"

Rosen flipped through the list page by page, but he didn't just look at it. He also constantly compared it with the content of the believers' prayers to confirm that the names were real.

It's a quick look, but also very detailed.

When he was halfway through, he pulled out one of the sheets, pointed at a student's name and said, "This student is suspected of having serious moral stains. Check it out thoroughly. If it's true, he will be replaced."

These words were said to the officer of the Island Security Bureau standing nearby.

Rosen continued to look through the pages.

Soon six more were picked out as having serious flaws, mainly due to shortcomings that were not conducive to cooperation, such as extreme indifference, extreme selfishness, extreme greed, and extreme violence.

It’s not that these personality traits are useless, they are useful in certain situations, but they are clearly not conducive to teamwork.

If the mortal world wants to gather powerful forces, it must cooperate to a very high degree, so this group of cooperative saboteurs cannot be allowed to enter the core layer of the empire.

As I looked, I saw an extremely outstanding seedling.

"Drenz, male, 21 years old, graduated from Weilan Higher School of Magic, has been practicing for 12 years, and has adopted a new practice method for 5 years. He broke through the eighth ring three months ago and is the first person to practice this year."

"Tsk tsk~~ You are truly a top-notch genius in cultivation."

He was not at all surprised at the emergence of such a top genius.

Because of the empire's current model of civic education, the number of educated people is more than a thousand times that of the previous aristocratic era, and the efficiency of mana cultivation is also much higher than that of the aristocratic era.

As a result, the pearls that were originally hidden among the people and always covered in dust due to the lack of educational resources were wiped off the dust one by one and blossomed with dazzling brilliance.

He also looked at Drentz's academic evaluation.

'Sharp mind, very innovative, proficient in the creation of photoelectric intelligent puppets.'

Attached below is a magical paper called "The Concept of General Intelligent Puppet".

Rosen took a closer look and was overjoyed: "What a great treasure!"

The universal intelligent puppet is actually a computer from another world.

The faith puppet created by Rosen, the aircraft's auxiliary flight puppet, and the control core of the unmanned explosive aircraft.

Strictly speaking, it should be called "Specialized Intelligent Puppet".

It can be used now, but its performance is far from perfect.

If he relies on himself to develop, progress will be very slow.

Therefore, he has been deliberately spreading some subtle magical ideas to the people, and has also opened puppetry majors in major magic colleges to cultivate relevant talents.

Now, the talents are here, and they are top talents.

So Rosen took out Drentz's list and handed it to the security agent.

"We will investigate the background of this student carefully. If there are no major problems, we will arrange for him to work at the Puppet Design Bureau."

After saying that, he added another sentence.

"Notify the director and give him a separate laboratory so that he can focus on developing universal intelligent puppets."

"yes."

Then continue to look at the list.

I didn't find any problems until I finished watching it, but I didn't find any particularly eye-catching characters either.

"That's it for today."

"Mr. Sanchester, thank you very much for your great contribution to the empire."

He stood up and shook hands solemnly with Sanchester.

The latter immediately left the study and continued to work on the empire's educational plans.

Rosen was naturally not idle either.

He then contacted the Empire's Alchemy Bureau to continue guiding the production of the +2 legendary cap with a low usage threshold.

Today, there are more than 200 mages above the eighth ring in the Natural Empire.

He planned to give legendary hats to all these high-level mages.

First, he will wear the universal legendary hat produced by the Alchemy Department. If he performs outstandingly, he will be rewarded with a customized legendary hat made by him personally.

Once the legendary hat became popular, the legendary power of the empire skyrocketed. Although it was still not as strong as the Holy Elf Empire, at least it would not be crushed by it.

In addition, there are two major events.

One is to study the golden warriors in order to create the golden seeds belonging to the natural empire.

Second, to create a soul amplifier to make up for the small size of mortal souls.

The first thing is to simply imitate and improve on the original.

The difficulty is not high, so the progress is fast.

The second thing is original. It didn’t seem difficult when I was thinking about it, but when I actually started doing it, I found that it was extremely difficult.

It is not difficult to create a soul container.

The difficulty lies in how to seamlessly connect and integrate the soul power in the soul container with Rosen's own soul.

This was an extremely difficult task. Rosen tried many methods, but none of them worked.

Just when he was at a loss, he received an urgent message from Dora.

"Within half a year, Druitan will return?"

"Oh~ It's a lot earlier than expected."

In this case, he would most likely not have enough time to create a usable soul-amplifying artifact.

'When this guy comes back, the first thing he'll do is fuck me.'

'He is a powerful god, with a soul strength close to 13, and a soul size more than 30,000 times larger than mine. He must have his own special moves.'

"Even with the protection of the Ring, I am not completely safe. If I am not careful, I could be doomed."

"What should I do?"

Although we can use the big and small suns to fight hard, we should not use them unless it is the last moment.

After some thought, Rosen came up with a solution.

"If I can't beat him, I'll just hide. As long as he can't find me, I'll be safe."

"It's not just me that needs to be hidden. All the important people and facilities of the Natural Empire must be carefully hidden."

Because of the protection of the magic ring, hiding is not difficult, all you have to do is muddy the water.

You can't just hide it, you have to hide weapons in the muddy water.

Even if we can't kill Druitan, we must make him feel afraid.
