Sitting in the driving seat of the flying car, the driver automatically set the car's destination to the interstellar port.
Xiao Chen sat behind the driver's seat, his cold gaze looking through the car window, subconsciously looking at the scenery outside the window.
A large pet hospital sign with a flashing pink halo appeared before his eyes. The man's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at it.
The girl's fair cheek suddenly flashed through my mind.
"Stop when you pass by the Imperial Royal Military Academy." After Xiao Chen said this, he was subconsciously stunned.
However, the driver in front had already nodded in response, notifying the other cars behind them. The soldier sitting next to the passenger seat turned his head and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Is the Marshal going back to his alma mater to see the old principal and his family?"
Their itinerary didn't mention going to the Imperial Royal Military Academy.
"Yeah." Xiao Chen nodded, not intending to explain further. He looked handsome and imposing in his straight black military uniform.
The young soldier happily pulled out his smart computer and happily opened the Imperial Royal Military Academy's official website. "I haven't been back to my alma mater since I followed the Marshal into battle a few years ago. Thanks to the Marshal, we can go back and visit, and also visit our younger students in the Mecha Department!"
"Huh? Are the juniors and seniors in school so generous nowadays? There's actually someone on the school forum willing to spend 100,000 yuan to find a black pet cat. The breed of this cat seems to be very ordinary..." The chatty little soldier clicked on the top cat-finding post and looked around, muttering subconsciously.
Although the soldier's voice was not loud, orcs have always had good hearing.
Everyone in the entire flying car could hear it clearly.
But no one noticed that the man sitting behind the driver's seat had his dark blue pupils flickering slightly after hearing these words, and his expression changed for a moment, but then returned to his original calm appearance.
"Forget it, let's go back to the port... I just remembered that there are important things to deal with at the military base, so I won't waste time here. We'll come back and visit next time we return to the Imperial Capital Star."
Xiao Chen tapped his fingers lightly on the window sill, seemingly oblivious to the puzzled expressions of the driver and the soldier in front of him. He casually cast his gaze out the window and asked, "I remember that every year, the champion of the National College Pharmacist League gets recruited into the military early."
"Yes……"
The driver nodded, reconnected with the car behind him, and adjusted the destination to the port. He sighed, "Although the pharmacists who win the National College League championship every year can be recruited into the military early, the vast majority choose to go to the Pharmacist Research Institute or join other large companies to become their exclusive pharmacists. The military is still too dangerous."
The driver and the young soldier both looked sad.
They have been in the military for many years and have seen many such situations over the years.
Although the salary is good when joining the military, it also holds a high degree of honor in the hearts of the people, and one can even enjoy high welfare benefits after retirement.
But this is not enough for those pharmacists, especially those with outstanding abilities.
People can easily sell a bottle of potion for millions of interstellar coins, but the monthly salary paid by the military is only tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. People can't even afford half a bottle of potion. Who would be willing to stay in the military?
If the military hadn't changed its recruitment requirements to provide pharmacists with medicinal materials, and only one out of every three produced could be kept, there would probably be even fewer elite pharmacists joining the military.
"Don't worry, there will be more and more pharmacists in the military in the future, and they will become more and more outstanding... After the National College Pharmacist League starts, I will return to the Imperial Capital Star and personally select a group of suitable pharmacists to bring back to the military." Xiao Chen turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window.
He believed that among these pharmacists, there must be some who preferred to enjoy the process of refining medicine rather than just pursuing money. He also believed that the medicine materials stored in the warehouse of his military base must be deeply loved by them.
At this moment, all that flashed through Xiao Chen's mind was the girl who made the pharmacy, her dark eyes were clear and firm, and her serious and well-behaved appearance.
"By the way, this cat on the forum looks pretty handsome. When we get back to the base, help me find one that looks just like it."
Little soldier: “???????”
#I suspect I'm hallucinating, but I don't dare to confirm it#
#Why did my boss become so weird after coming back? ? #
…
On the other side, in the Imperial Military Academy, the conference hall of the Pharmacy Department teaching building.
All the teachers in the Department of Pharmacy, except those who were traveling and conducting research, sat upright in the conference room hall.
This time, sitting in the conference hall was not only the department head Lao Liu, but also Dean Yuan of the Pharmacy Department who was often elusive.
Dean Yuan is a chubby old man. Although he looks inconspicuous, with a pair of eyes as big as mung beans and a cheerful look all day long like Maitreya Buddha, he is actually the 46th-ranked big man in the public ranking of pharmacists in the entire Orc Empire.
In the school, not only the students regard Dean Yuan as their idol, but also most of the teachers in the Department of Pharmacy. They look forward to Dean Yuan giving them some pointers occasionally so that their potion-making skills can be improved to a higher level.
"Everyone knows about Marshal Xiao's return a few days ago, right?"
Dean Yuan happily sat at the head of the table, taking a sip from his teacup. "This morning I received word from above that to celebrate Xiao Yuanshuai's safe return, the National College Pharmacist League will be held earlier. The champion will be able to attend the celebration banquet hosted by the Imperial Family for the Marshal a month from now. So, the competition, originally scheduled for three months, has been moved forward a month. At the end of last semester, I asked for your thoughts. Have you made up your minds now? What lists do you plan to submit?"
The originally quiet meeting room suddenly became noisy because of Dean Yuan's words. There were bursts of low discussions from the audience. The teachers were whispering to each other, and many of them were frowning.
"Dean, we've selected the list... We'll just base it on the results of this pre-semester preliminary exam. The National University Pharmacist Alliance Competition not only includes practical assessments, but also theoretical exams before the practical tests." Department Head Lao Liu pushed his glasses up his nose, frowning slightly. "But the timeline is so tight this time. Even if we submit the list now, I'm afraid there won't be much time for special training."
In the past, students participating in each competition would first be selected from each class and then undergo three months of intensive training. But now there is only one month. What should we do if we cannot compare with students from other schools by then?
As far as he knew, many schools had started special training a year ago.
Their school was the only one that held special training just before exams. This had been the Royal Imperial Military Academy's rule for thousands of years.
The others nodded, also with serious expressions.
"Haha, what is there to worry about? The students in our school have always been excellent, and you have to believe in them. The National College Pharmacists League is just a small test in their lives. Even if no one wins the award this year, our school will not lack the medal of honor." Dean Yuan said nonchalantly.
"But the principal...he has issued a military order before. What should we do if the results are not good?" Director Liu looked worried.
Dean Yuan said with a chuckle, "I'll talk to the principal. Besides, I heard there's another third-grade student who scored full marks in all 19 subjects on the placement test. No other school has such an outstanding student. I feel very relieved to have such an outstanding student participate in the competition."
“Swish, swish, swish, swish…”
A group of people around all turned their eyes to Huang Xuemin, even Dean Yuan turned his eyes over here. Huang Xuemin immediately straightened his back with a look of pride, and even his bald forehead seemed to be brighter and more energetic.
Dean Yuan smiled and nodded, then addressed the teachers below, "How far can the students go on the path to becoming pharmacists in the future? This competition alone won't determine that. Don't be too nervous, just keep a normal mind."
Dean Yuan cheerfully gazed at the audience, who were all gloomy. After a moment's thought, he finally spoke, "Forget it. Show me the list once it's drawn up. These students are the future hope of the empire, and I happen to be free at the moment. I'll teach them a few lessons during this month's special training so you don't have to worry all the time. We'll select the final ten people in the last two days of the competition."
Upon hearing that the dean was going to teach the students participating in the competition, the teachers in the conference hall's eyes suddenly lit up and they stared at the dean on the stage, wishing they could immediately transform themselves into the candidates of this year.
Candidates from the school have never enjoyed such VIP treatment before!
At this point, the teachers who were originally worried about losing the competition were only thinking about how they could sneak into the class without making any noise!
Hey, school honors and such, how can they be as important as self-improvement, especially when it’s taught by a big shot?!
