Chapter 539 Strong Medicine
Before leaving, Malu fulfilled his promise and distributed the rewards for this surprise exam.

The first place will receive 100 yuan, the second place will receive 70 yuan, the third to fifth place will receive 50 yuan, and the sixth to tenth place will each receive 30 yuan.

The total amount was 470 yuan. Malu put a briefcase full of silver dollars on the desk in front of him. Students whose names were called could come up and collect the money.

That box of white silver dollars was quite visually impactful, especially for Houde, whose finances had always been tight. The teachers and students almost forgot how long it had been since they had seen so much money.

The silver dollars on the table were sent by the Pingcheng Branch of the Railway Bank.

Cao Youyi packaged the Cardcaptor Sakura leaf and the thirteen pieces of turquoise and sold them to a talisman master's chamber of commerce. The chamber quoted a total purchase price of 6731 yuan, and after checking that there were no problems, it wrote a check on the spot.

Cao Youyi used the check to pay off Cao Jinhua's debt, and cashed the remaining money as Ma Lu said, a total of 1,360 yuan.

However, the money came and went quickly. In the blink of an eye, Malu had spent nearly 500 yuan in bonus money.

Moreover, after deciding to go to the next city to clean up the disaster zone, Cao Youyi also contacted the carriage and horse company and rented 10 carriages, which was another expense. Malu also instructed her to purchase a batch of consumables needed for making talismans, which basically spent all the money.

Cao Youyi was used to a life of careful budgeting, and was not used to such lavish spending.

During this period, she asked Malu whether to cut some of the rewards or take fewer people out, but Malu rejected both.

Although Malu now intends to earn education points by using Houde's students as pendants to quickly brush disasters, he does not want to give up the education points produced by normal training of students.

What's more, the Ministry of Education has newly opened a challenge system that can quickly improve the school's ranking, which also requires students to have corresponding strength.

It’s just that Houde has been in decline for too long, and most of the students and teachers here are accustomed to lying down, and the whole school has no motivation.

If you want to break this gloomy atmosphere, you have to take drastic measures.

Malu wasn't talking nonsense before. He went deep into the disaster zone to make these students who were just muddling through in school feel the threat of danger and death, forcing them to improve their strength in order to survive.

This is one of the purposes of millipedes.

But pressure alone is not enough. Over time it will inevitably lead to resistance and backlash, so incentives must also keep up.

This is why Malu is determined to reward the top ten in this baseline test, and he also plans to normalize and expand this kind of reward.

There are monthly exams every month, and not just the top ten, but as long as there is improvement in performance, corresponding cash rewards will be given based on the extent of improvement.

Not only students received rewards, but teachers did too. Malu divided the 40 students except Cao Jiajia into two groups, and assigned them to teachers Zhong and Jing respectively. From now on, the performance of these students will be tied to their bonuses.

As for Cao Jiajia, the only one in Houde with Grade B qualification, Malu gave her to Cao Youyi for individual tutoring.

After these actions, the message he wanted to convey was very clear - the school is no longer the same as before, it is no longer short of money, and those who want to study and work hard will no longer lack resources in the future and will receive strong support from the school.

He did not make any long speeches, but completed his opening speech directly with practical actions and showed everyone the future development direction of Houde.

After receiving so much stimulation and information at once, the teachers and students were all a little confused and felt different emotions, but they still completed the assembly within two hours as required by the new principal.

Because it was the first operation and all staff were mobilized, Cao Youyi was worried that Malu would not be able to take care of so many students, so she asked the two teachers to go along as well.

Malu didn't care. Although the teacher didn't produce education points, the majesty candy could provide him with bonuses and contribute to his strength. When everyone arrived, the carriage stopped at the foot of Shouyang Mountain.

Malu took all the teachers and students of the school and rushed to the neighboring city of Jiyang under the cover of night.

The Jiulong Instrument detected that a disaster would befall this place in the near future and issued a warning three days ago.

Cao Youyi submitted the cleanup application as soon as possible according to Malu's instructions.

According to the information provided by the Early Warning Department, the disaster zone that appeared in Jiyang City this time was a level one disaster zone, which was one level lower than the one that Malu and Qiu Tong dealt with last time.

Logically speaking, the monsters and overlords inside will also be weaker.

In addition, the Jiulong Instrument also detected that the monsters in the disaster zone were afraid of gold, which meant that gold-based talismans would be more likely to work in battle.

However, Malu just glanced at the information in his hand and put it aside.

It has been nearly a hundred years since humans in this dimension discovered the disaster zone, and their means of early warning and detection of the disaster zone have become increasingly sophisticated.

In particular, the successful development of the Nine Dragon Instrument allows talisman masters to grasp a lot of key information before going deep into the disaster zone, greatly improving the success rate of talisman masters in clearing the disaster zone.

However, the predictions of the Kowloon Instrument are not completely accurate, with deviations occurring approximately 100 times out of 3 warnings.

Cao Jinhua had trusted the predictions of the Nine Dragon Instrument too much at the beginning, thinking that he had entered only a level one disaster zone, and that the monsters in it were exactly those that he was good at dealing with.

In addition, Houde was in dire need of money, so he took on the cleaning task.

Unfortunately, he was unlucky and encountered that 3% error, and eventually died in the disaster zone.

Malu didn't want to repeat his mistake, so he only took the information given by Jiulongyi as a reference. Unfortunately, he didn't have any extra education points, otherwise he could have pointed out the [Disaster Forecast] in the scientific research laboratory.

In this way, Houde will have its own disaster zone early warning system, and it will also be more convenient for Millipede to sweep the disaster zone in the future.

But don't be in a hurry. Eat your food one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.

Three hours later, Houde’s teachers and students arrived in Jiyang with trepidation.

It was 3:15 in the morning and most people were still asleep. The whole city was very quiet, like a beast crawling in the darkness.

Because the disaster zone this time was located in the suburbs, Malu did not take everyone into the city. Instead, he let everyone eat something and rest for a while under the city wall.

The guards from the police station who were in charge of guarding the disaster zone saw Houde's convoy from afar. One of them immediately ran towards the city gate, while the remaining older one walked up carefully holding a kerosene lamp.

Malu showed the other side the approval document from the Talisman Master Association and documents proving their identities.

The guard breathed a sigh of relief after checking it and handed it back respectfully with both hands.

"So they are Houde's teacher and student. I thought they were bandits from the neighborhood."
