Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 559 Is This the Valley of Evil?
Malu looked at this pair of dragon and phoenix in the investment world and didn't know what to say.

Then he turned to look at Qi Baichuan, who was even more of a heavyweight.

But this guy also has his merits. He is eloquent, good at judging people, and knows how to handle things. He has also been a top salesman. Although he may not be very useful as a teacher, he is a good hand at business.

It just so happened that Malu also picked up the [Business Plan]. If the research is successful next week, it will be able to slightly enhance the school's commercial appeal and bring in some business cooperation.

And even if this skill is not activated, with Qi Baichuan's eloquence, he should be able to trick people into making some money.

Although the Ministry of Education has provided subsidies for disaster relief after its reform, Malu has to charter flights for the entire trip, which is quite expensive. It has also introduced new instructors and plans to purchase a batch of training and restoration facilities, which requires a lot of funds.

Unless the millipedes are willing to sell some of the stray fruits they have captured, these are valuable materials for making talismans, and any bit of them can be exchanged for a lot of money.

But millipede doesn't want to do this unless it's absolutely necessary.

In addition to the fact that restaurants also need these ingredients, the most important reason is that the Talisman Masters will register the spoils every time after clearing the disaster zone. It is difficult to explain the source of so many rare materials that are not on the list.

Therefore, the school still has to have a legitimate way to make money. The talisman schools in this dimension generally have commercial operations. They are not only schools but also brokerage companies.

The school's popular talisman masters will be commercially developed, with books, movies, and all kinds of peripheral products available.

Everyone is making this money, so there is no reason for Houde not to make some.

So Malu thought about it and said to Qi Baichuan and Zhou Zuolin, "You two...both passed."

"Really?" Zhou Zuolin was very happy.

Qi Baichuan also shook off his previous lethargy. He knew that he had made the right bet. The new leader really valued people with abilities more.

But in this case, Malu has already accepted four of the six candidates, leaving only the fat man and the woman in the jacquard satin skirt.

Among them, Malu's answer for the jacquard satin skirt was pending, and he had not had time to look at the fat man's answer.

But both of them undoubtedly felt the pressure. What was particularly unacceptable to them was that Qi Baichuan, this liar, actually passed the recruitment and became a teacher of Houde.

Is this school for training talisman masters or criminals? Similar questions arose in the minds of both of them.

But Malu was thinking about something else at the moment. It was known that Li Zhengwei had to come to Houde to be a teacher because he offended the General Staff, and Qi Baichuan was the gold medal salesman who left the company to avoid the limelight.

The reason why Master Yang applied for the job was written in his resume: it was because he had taught a bad apprentice, and as a result, he was forced to leave his hometown at an old age by that bad apprentice.

Zhou Zuolin didn't say, but he used to be an editor in a publishing house, so he should be better at teaching than Lai Houde. It is estimated that he offended someone or made some mistake.

The only thing left was the jacquard satin tube skirt. She had just let it slip in her excitement that she had been someone's mistress. It was very likely that her original wife had brought the matter to her old school, so she had to leave.

The fat man didn't know, but he guessed he was in some trouble.

My goodness, so coming to Houde to be a teacher is the escape route for all of you?

But this is also normal. Houde is at the bottom of the talisman master school, and there were rumors of bankruptcy before. People with clean backgrounds and abilities will not come.

To put it bluntly, it's not that Malu has a chuunibyou attack. He wants to create a virtuous version of the Valley of Evil and gather the achievements of all the villains. He also wants people with both good character and strong abilities.

Unfortunately, the reality is that Houde can't recruit such talents at all. It's a blessing to be able to pick up Cao Youyi. If he can only choose one between morality and ability, Malu will prioritize ability. Anyway, he is the principal who plays the tyrant and suppresses these dishonest guys.

The fat man in the blue vest was the last one to hand in his paper, and he looked nervous.

Malu took his paper and took a look at it, feeling confused. "What the hell did you answer?"

"Talisman...Talisman." The fat man swallowed his saliva, "This is a talisman."

"I asked you how you were going to defeat Lingnan in a week, but you drew a talisman for me. Can this talisman also summon heavenly soldiers and generals during the competition?"

"No, but it can make you perform the spell faster."

"Oh?" Malu showed some interest. "Tell me more."

Zhou Zuolin also came over at this time. Although he was not the type of person who liked to curry favor with his superiors, he had just found a new job and wanted to be more proactive.

Moreover, talismans are also his professional field.

"This is a retrieval talisman, yeah, but it's different from the standard retrieval talisman. You've changed it."

"Not much, just moved two places, so that the spell can be more concealed."

While the fat man was speaking, a pen had quietly flown in front of everyone.

The woman in the jacquard satin skirt was surprised. "When? When did you cast the spell? I have no idea."

This move is indeed very covert. Imagine if the fat man was not holding a pen, but a sharp object like a knife, and he could quietly stab his opponent when he wasn't paying attention, the chances of success would be quite high.

The fat man chuckled, but before he could say anything, Zhou Zuolin shook his head and said, "No, the talismans cannot be changed randomly, especially the basic talismans, which are carefully selected by the Talisman Master Association and the Ministry of Education.

"After the change, the success rate of the spell will be reduced, the consumption of mental energy will be increased, and it will also increase the difficulty of learning for students. The essence of the talisman is to borrow power from heaven and earth. If you write the wrong IOU, even if you are lucky enough to borrow power, it will be difficult to control it."

Although the fat man didn't say anything, Malu could tell from his embarrassed expression that Zhou Zuolin was right.

However, this was not a problem for Malu, because the talisman master that Houde intended to train was not to fight monsters, but to fight people.

Malu’s requirement for them is that they can be amateurs in foreign wars, but they must be experts in civil wars.

Humans are known to be fragile opponents. If the battle can be ended quickly in a short period of time, the consumption of mental energy will seem harmless.

As for the difficulty in learning, it is not a problem at all. Anyway, most of Houde's students are of Ding and Wu grades. It is obviously unrealistic to expect them to learn the art of talismans by themselves. They still have to rely on [Enlightenment of Coke].

[Epiphany of Coke] is purely a matter of probability, and has nothing to do with how difficult a talisman is to learn.

So the only disadvantage is that the success rate will be reduced.

Fortunately, Malu asked the fat man, and he learned that generally the decline would only be 10% to 20%. There are several rounds of competition between schools, and in the end the points will be compared, so losing one or two games is not unacceptable.

Malu then asked the fat man and learned that he could now modify more than ten kinds of talismans, and that he could also improve the talismans beyond these as long as he was given time.
