The Huaxia Awakened University has many talented people, and they are also very proud. Most of them have their own ideas and life plans. Therefore, when they heard that Ye Chen and others only signed a lifetime contract, everyone immediately lost interest.
At first, quite a few people entered Ye Chen and his partner's meeting room with a try-it-out attitude, but after the news spread that only lifetime contracts were signed here, the number of applicants gradually decreased. By the latter half of the afternoon, no one had come in for an interview for quite some time.
After a whole day, Ye Chen and Fatty realized they hadn't made any progress; they hadn't recruited a single person.
"This is too difficult! Doesn't the Huaxia Awakener University have any students willing to sign a lifelong contract?" The fat man sighed with a bitter face. He didn't expect that by the afternoon, there wouldn't even be any applicants.
"If you don't want to, you don't want to. It's not like you absolutely have to hire someone. These things should be based on mutual consent!" Ye Chen shrugged indifferently and started packing his things to leave.
"Will you come again tomorrow?" The fat man stood up helplessly and asked Ye Chen.
Recruitment usually doesn't last just one day, but rather several days in a row. After all, students might be delayed by other things and miss the opportunity, and it would be a huge loss to miss out on talent because of that.
However, upon hearing the fat man's words, Ye Chen shook his head and said, "No, let's leave it all to fate. We'll only recruit for one day. If we're destined to meet, we'll meet even if we're a thousand miles apart; if we're not, we won't meet even if we're face to face!"
Since we've already arrived in a world full of magic and fantasy, let's just go all out with the metaphysics. Whether we can develop our territories together depends on fate.
"Alright, you're the boss, so you decide! Whether we can recruit people or not doesn't really matter to us. If all else fails, we can just train from those Ani people. I think that prince and that Mike are pretty good!" The fat man shrugged indifferently and started clearing the table with Ye Chen. If nothing unexpected happened, no one would be coming today.
But surprises always happen unexpectedly! Just as the fat man finished speaking, a boy stood outside the door and knocked.
"Hello! Are you still recruiting Awakened Ones?" the boy asked softly, sounding somewhat introverted.
Hearing this, Ye Chen and the others were all stunned. They looked up at the door and saw a boy wearing a white baseball cap and carrying a backpack standing timidly at the door. Under everyone's gaze, he kept fidgeting with the sides of his pants pockets, seemingly very uncomfortable.
"Uh, yes, yes! Come in!" Ye Chen snapped out of his daze, put down what he was holding, and waved to the other person. In any case, since someone had come for an interview, he should take a good look at them. As the recruiter, he should have the proper attitude.
"Okay! Okay!" The boy nodded in response, walked nervously to the chair in the middle, bowed deeply, and then sat down uneasily.
"Don't be nervous. Do you know our contract rules here? Once you start, you must sign a lifetime contract. We don't sign time-limited contracts!" Ye Chen smiled at the other party, his gentle smile slightly easing his tension.
“Yes! I know! I can sign a lifetime contract!” the boy nodded and said.
"That's fine then. Can you introduce yourself first?" Knowing that it's a lifetime contract, at least you won't find out at the end that you've wasted your time.
"Okay! My name is Yu Hongzhe. I'm a senior in college this year. My current strength is at the mid-stage of the first tier, but I'm not very good at combat. My actual combat ability is probably not even as good as the early stage of the first tier!" Yu Hongzhe introduced himself with a slight nervousness, but as he continued to talk, his nervousness gradually subsided.
"My talent is airflow control, which allows me to manipulate the direction of airflow within a certain range. However, at present, I can only create a slight breeze. Moreover, I am rather timid and do not dare to fight with others, so my actual combat ability is not very good!"
"However, I minored in nine other subjects, including finance, management, cultivation, accounting, fire protection, and architecture, and obtained graduation certificates in all of them. In addition, I have a strong language learning ability. During my university years, I have taught myself eight common languages of different races, including Elvish, Dwarven, Gnome, and Goblin."
"..."
Listening to Yu Hongzhe's self-introduction, Fatty and Ye Chen were both stunned. If this guy were on Earth, he would definitely be a genius! Even on the current Blue Star, with the support of various enhancements, his achievements would be among the top tier of ordinary people.
"A genius like you? How did you come to interview with us two new lords?" Ye Chen swallowed hard and asked, looking at the other party. This level can only be described as worthy of being a genius from the China Awakener University. Not to mention him and Fatty, who have never been to university, even geniuses from other universities like Ye Chen and Xia Qingyi can only be described as being far behind.
"Huh? That? No, no! My talent is too poor, so the other lords don't want me, and I've never been able to go to the Dark World. But I don't want to stay on Blue Star. Even if I have Tier 2 strength, I'll only live for a little over a hundred years at most."
"I! I don't want to die, so I want to go to the dark world, and I want to take my parents with me. It wasn't easy for them to raise me, and I can't let them suffer on Earth!" Yu Hongzhe said, his emotions becoming increasingly agitated as he spoke.
Upon hearing his words, Ye Chen and the others realized that this man was indeed a very filial son! Moreover, the reason why he had never been hired by any territory was due to his talent and personality, which were simply not acceptable to the lords.
Now that he's already in the mid-stage of Tier 1, he still can't beat an Awakened One in the early stage of Tier 1. His talent is almost like a juggling trick. Should we just recruit such a lord to be a decoration?
As for the subjects he studied, such as finance, management, and even languages, there are plenty of alternatives available in the lord's territory. For example, the eight languages can be replaced by the Aeneas' mastery of magic. As for subjects like finance and management, the lord has plenty of time to cultivate talent in these areas within his territory.
Therefore, Yu Hongzhe became a useless figure to the lord. He lacked both combat power and support abilities, and his other professional skills were not very useful in the lord's territory. As a result, Yu Hongzhe had not been recruited by the lord and had remained there until now.
This is the Huaxia Awakened University! The Awakened who can enroll here are all world-class talents. If they didn't have some flaws, why would they need to wait until their senior year to be recruited by the lord?
