Chapter 561 Peeping
"I have been thinking about this matter for some time and have also sought the opinions of professionals. Now I have a preliminary candidate," said Cao Youyi.

"Really? What grade is she in? What's her name? Is she a boy or a girl?" Malu asked.

"The person I want to recommend is not a student," Cao Youyi said, "but the principal of Houde University."

"What?"

Ma Lu was startled when he heard this. "Does this matter have anything to do with me? Shouldn't we choose from among the students?"

"Generally speaking, this is the case, but there is no rule that says you can't develop the commercial value of the principal."

Cao Youyi said, "Besides, our school is different from other schools. We don't have any outstanding students. Although Cao Jiajia has good talent, it won't grow up in a short time.

"In comparison, the principal is even more dazzling. From the first day you showed up, you took control of the entire school with your powerful aura. Your performance in the cleanup of the disaster zone is obvious to all. It is not an exaggeration to say that you completed the cleanup single-handedly. Your contribution is seen by everyone.

"According to the survey, the public prefers the talisman masters who are individualistic and heroic. In addition, although you are the principal, you are very young. You are not much older than the students in school, and you look good too.

"The most important thing is that the story of leading a bottom-ranked Fushi School to catch up and become a famous school will be more attractive in publicity than the story of an ordinary model student."

"Well... as long as I can make money, I don't care who goes. It's not a bad idea to choose myself, but I have other things to do, and I can only be in school less than one day a week." Malu said.

“That’s not a big deal. In the early stages, you just need to take some photos of you at work and attach some press releases. These can all be done by someone else, so it won’t take up too much of your time.

"In fact, I have a friend who is very interested in you and hopes to conduct an exclusive interview with you. She is a reporter for Pingcheng Daily. She will compile the results of the interview into a manuscript and publish it in Pingcheng Daily.

"It will help promote both you and the school, and most importantly, it's free. If you agree, she will go to Lingnan with us next week to report on this challenge."

"I have no problem with that," Ma Lu said, "Then let's do this for now. Qi Baichuan will be in charge of the business side, and you can give him some freedom as appropriate."

"Okay." Cao Youyi nodded.

"But this way, you will have more things to do." Malu then thought of something and said, "Do you have anyone you can trust to help you share the work?"

"Teacher Zhong and Teacher Jing have limited energy. They are already busy with their daily teaching tasks, and they also need to observe the six new recruits... Is Principal Ma worried that I can't complete my work?"

"No, I don't doubt your ability, I just think this is a bit too hard."

"As long as it is beneficial to Houde, no matter how many tasks there are, I will complete them seriously." Cao Youyi said in a firm tone.

"Well, if you need help, you can choose from the students. Qiu Tong is a good choice. I have cleaned up the disaster zone with her before. She is good at sports and is obedient."

After arranging the work for the next week, Malu returned to the scientific research laboratory to select the next research project.

In fact, he would rather have technology and props that can directly increase students' combat effectiveness, so that after research is completed or used, the chances of winning in competitions can be greatly increased, saving him a lot of trouble.

Unfortunately, the system didn't seem to want to give him such a cheating method. Malu had discovered before that apart from the benefits given to him as the principal, there were no scientific research projects or props within the school management that could have an effect on other students and teachers and make their strength increase immediately.

Most of them are mainly aimed at improving learning efficiency. [Epiphany Coke] is the closest prop to a similar effect that Malu can find.

As for scientific research, what Malu can find that may be used in battle is [Sudden Change of Weather] and [Sneak Peek]. [Sudden Change of Weather] is a weather skill, which is somewhat similar to the knight skill [Weather Forecast] that Malu got in the second plane.

These are all technologies that can change the local climate in a short period of time. They may have miraculous effects when combined with certain spells. Researching them requires 80 education points.

And [Peeking] is the technology that Millipede attaches the most importance to this time.

Its effect is simple, that is, you can specify one person from the opponent school and check his appearance order.

According to the rules, school challenges are divided into individual battles and team battles.

The individual battle is one-on-one, with a total of five groups. The school behind the winner of each round can get 1 point.

The team battle is five-on-five, and the winning side can get 3 points.

In addition, the appearance lists for individual and team battles need to be determined before the battle begins.

If you know in advance which match your opponent's ace will play, you can formulate a corresponding battle strategy based on this, which will come in handy in the next competition.

Therefore, Malu first spent 100 education points on [Sneak Peek], and then clicked on [Sudden Change of Situation]. It takes 5 days to complete the research on [Sneak Peek].

[Sudden Change] will take 4 days, plus there is also the half-researched [Business Plan]. Even with the bonus from the principal's office, [Sudden Change] will have to wait until the next week to be used.

Moreover, Millipede only has 85 education points left, and can no longer increase his mood value or shorten his research time.

After finishing the tasks at hand, although there was still some time, Malu decided to leave work early.

He gave Qiu Tong some Coke, and then went to the back mountain to fish alone.

There is a stream on Shouyang Mountain and a pond on the mountainside. The last time I came here, Malu noticed that there were fish swimming under the pond.

As for the fishing rod, it was found in the principal's office. I don't know whether it was left by Cao Jinhua or any previous principal.

Malu grabbed a few earthworms as bait and fished there for about two hours. He caught a total of 4 fish, but was too lazy to take them back to school, so he released them all afterwards.

Although he did not gain any substantial gains, he enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Shouyang Mountain, breathed the fresh mountain air, and enjoyed the fun of fishing.

The harmonious and beautiful natural scenery also made him temporarily forget the worldly troubles, and the win or loss with Lingnan a week later seemed no longer important.

Malu only felt a sense of peace and tranquility in his heart.

Why do people fight for power and profit? Why do they hurt each other?
Two hours later, the millipede, healed naturally, was full of energy again.

It's like a battery is filled with energy and becomes full of fighting spirit again.

However, before he could take over Lingnan, there was still a battle waiting for him.
