Gao Wu: You have science, and I have magic!

Chapter 154: Doing nothing, earning a million dollars a year

"Hello, I'm Gu Minghui."

"I am Ye Qingzhou."

"Oh? You figured it out so quickly?"

"Yes, I want to join the Tianji Research Institute, but I'm in a little trouble now..."

After listening to Ye Qingzhou's story, Gu Minghui was speechless, but finally agreed to help Ye Qingzhou finish the cleanup work: "I will send someone to clean the floor right away. Don't worry, you won't be in any trouble."

"Thanks."

"polite."

Then Gu Minghui reminded Ye Qingzhou: "Take good care of your pet, otherwise I will have a hard time explaining to the Martial Arts Association."

"Well, I will restrain them."

Although the people who were eaten were two members of the Source Blood Society with ulterior motives, Tang Zhuoran and Su Yian were citizens of the Dongji Country after all. The idea of ​​monsters eating people was still a taboo and could easily cause panic among the public.

However, what was a trouble for Ye Qingzhou was just a trivial matter for Gu Minghui, and could be covered up with a simple greeting.

"Do you need me to report to the Tianji Research Institute headquarters?"

"No, I will send someone to contact you later and give you the ID you need. If you need anything in your cultivation in the future, you can contact me. The management of Tianji Research Institute is quite relaxed. It's not a sweatshop where you have to punch in every day to go to work."

Gu Minghui is very sincere, at least more reliable than Zhao Zhiyi. Not only does he help Ye Qingzhou solve the identity issues of Yingyue and Youruo, but his attitude is also mainly cooperative.

Unlike Zhao Zhiyi, who took the resources distributed by the government but asked Ye Qingzhou to be dependent on him personally.

This is simply using public money to feed one's own dog, and the calculations are very clear.

It’s a pity that Ye Qingzhou is not interested in being a dog for others.

Gu Minghui was so generous, yet he didn't ask for anything in return. Even Ye Qingzhou was a little surprised: "You don't seem to be interested in "The Legacy of Emperor Yan"?"

"Haha~"

On the other end of the phone, Gu Minghui laughed loudly: "The history of Dongji Country that can be verified is more than 5,000 years. Adding some historical manuscripts found in the secret realm of Dongtian, our civilization has lasted for at least tens of thousands of years. During such a long period of time, do you know how many magical skills and magic methods the ancient sages created?"

Listening to Gu Minghui's narration, Ye Qingzhou seemed to feel how magnificent and vast the history of Dongji Kingdom was.

Gu Minghui continued, "Yan Emperor is only one of the Five Emperors. Although his martial arts inheritance is very important, it is actually not that important. In the final analysis, whether a martial art is powerful or not depends on who practices it. What we in Dongji Country lack now is not martial arts, but geniuses like you. So in my opinion, your value is higher than Yan Emperor's inheritance."

"I see."

At this moment, Ye Qingzhou truly felt how much Gu Minghui valued him.

The next day, the door of Ye Qingzhou's house was knocked.

The visitor was a woman in her twenties, wearing a black uniform and carrying a black briefcase. She said expressionlessly, "I'm Li Jingshan, Dr. Gu's assistant."

"He told me about you. Please come in."

After confirming the identity, Ye Qingzhou invited the person into the house, and Youruo also brought over tea, looking well-behaved and obedient.

When Li Jingshan saw this, her heart began to pound, and she became alert with her muscles completely tense.

As Gu Minghui's confidant, she knew Youruo's identity before she came.

The cute little Loli in front of me is not a human being at all. She even ate a living person yesterday and swallowed it in one gulp.

Being with such an inhuman monster made her feel instinctively scared.

However, she did not forget her duties. Following Gu Minghui's instructions, she handed the three processed certificates to Ye Qingzhou: "Mr. Ye, from now on you are a red-level researcher at our Tianji Research Institute."

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple; these are the professional title ratings within the Tianji Research Institute.

Ye Qingzhou had just joined and had not made any contribution or achieved any results, so he was only at the red level for now.

However, even if it is red level, the treatment is enough to make many poor scientific researchers envious to death.

With a monthly living allowance of 10,000 yuan, it is easy to apply for project funds below 300,000 yuan, and you can also apply to use the scientific research equipment of Tianji branches in major cities.

This is what is called leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade.

If you succeed in producing some results, you will be able to take off on the spot and gain both fame and fortune.

…………

Linjiang Martial Arts Association, President’s Office.

Dododo~
"Come in."

"President."

"It's you, Luo Jun."

Bai Yuanhu looked at Luo Jun, smiled and nodded at him.

Obviously, during this period, since Luo Jun took over the position of captain of the Martial Arts Association's third law enforcement team, he has been working diligently and his performance is remarkable, which makes Bai Yuanhu very satisfied.

At least, Luo Jun was much more reliable than He Zhongyang. He did not act recklessly and make the situation difficult to handle.

"President, something happened to Ye Qingzhou again."

Luo Jun looked serious and reported the intelligence he had collected to Bai Yuanhu truthfully: "Just yesterday, two residents of No. 169, Jiangshan Dijing Community, mysteriously disappeared. I received a report and was about to intervene in the investigation when I was stopped by people from the city."

Bai Yuanhu remained calm and said, "I know about this. The two missing people are members of the Source Blood Society. Their identities have been confirmed. The people in charge are from the Tianji Research Institute. This is a confidential matter and the local martial arts association has no right to interfere."

"..."

Luo Jun suddenly felt suffocated: "When did Ye Qingzhou hook up with Tianji Research Institute?"

Bai Yuanhu glanced at Lao Luo and said, "Why, you're not convinced?"

Luo Jun lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "Is the He family's massacre just over?"

When He Zhongyang was still alive, Luo Jun's relationship with him was not very good. In fact, He Zhongyang's death actually benefited Luo Jun, who was promoted from deputy captain to captain.

But from beginning to end, Luo Jun could not let go of this matter. In his heart, he only felt grief for the rabbit's death.

After all, He Zhongyang was the captain of the Wushu Association's law enforcement team. His entire family was killed, and when investigations revealed that it might be related to Ye Qingzhou, he was immediately stopped by his superiors.

Luo Jun felt very unwilling, or rather, he was worried that he would end up with the same fate one day.

Bai Yuanhu was also an experienced person, so he naturally understood Luo Jun's thoughts: "Do you think we shouldn't leave Ye Qingzhou alone?"

Luo Jun nodded: "It is undeniable that he is a martial arts genius, but his actions are too lawless. Isn't the original intention of the Martial Arts Association to manage and restrain martial artists? Moreover, Ye Qingzhou and the Linjiang Xu family are very close, how can the Martial Arts Association sit idly by and do nothing about it?"

Today, the backbone forces within the Wushu Association have basically undergone a major replacement, and the martial arts families that were previously in power have lost power in many cities.

Instead, many martial artists from the common people class rose up strongly, came to power, and took control of the real power of the Martial Arts Association.

This can be seen by looking at the president of Linjiang Martial Arts Association, Bai Yuanhu, who is a martial artist of commoner origin. With the official support personally coming out, the rise of commoner martial artists is an inevitable trend.

But even so, martial arts families are still an indispensable force in the martial arts world, and it is impossible for the government to introduce policies to prohibit civilian martial arts geniuses from contacting martial arts families.

It's like a person who received nine years of compulsory education, went to high school, was admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University, learned a lot of skills, and was about to show his talents, but suddenly someone jumped out and said: "Such a genius must not work in private or foreign companies, cannot go abroad, must do this and that..."

This is simply treating talents as cattle and horses.

In the early days of the martial arts world, the "control faction" within Dongji Country held this idea. They felt that the Martial Arts Association could not be controlled by a "common man" like Qi Shengtian.

Then, the control faction used the method of training hawks and dogs to train the first batch of civilian martial artists, hoping to seize the right to speak and control over the martial arts association and even the entire Dongji martial arts world from Qi Shengtian. Even the martial arts families knew that when dealing with real talents, they should mainly win them over.

But the powerful and wealthy are on the other side. Their attitude towards martial arts geniuses is condescending. They regard them like running dogs, ordering them around and bossing them around.

For obedient martial artists, the control faction will give them some meat bones.

Those who are disobedient will be suppressed and subjected to various obedience tests, under the euphemism of "tempering their temper."

The final result was that Zhang Xinwu rebelled against the Martial Arts Association and led a large number of proud and qualified civilian martial arts geniuses to establish the Xinsha School.

This incident had a huge impact on the martial arts world of the Dongji Kingdom at that time, and even directly changed the landscape of the martial arts world. To this day, it is still a taboo that cannot be mentioned in public.

Bai Yuanhu was an eyewitness, so many things are still vivid in his mind.

He looked at Luo Jun: "Law and order are based on absolute violence. And martial arts itself is a powerful form of violence, so the martial arts world has its own rules. When it came to Ye Xiangyang's matter, our martial arts association didn't speak out. Do we have to speak out for He Zhongyang's matter today?"

"Do you think this is fair? Or do you want Ye Qingzhou to become the second Zhang Xinwu?"

Luo Jun was dejected. He finally understood that the Wushu Association was nominally responsible for restraining and managing martial artists, but the rules of the Wushu Association actually had a limit.

The more powerful the martial artist, or the more potential a martial arts genius has, the less he is bound by rules.

Seeing this, Bai Yuanhu sighed again: "Luo Jun, a true genius is difficult to restrain and control. It's not that the Wushu Association can't see Ye Qingzhou's potential, nor that they don't want to prevent Ye Qingzhou from contacting the martial arts family. It's just that this approach has been tried a long time ago and it's useless and may even have a counterproductive effect."

A true martial arts master will never be a dog, let alone obey the so-called overall situation.

Because the strong themselves are the overall situation.

Just like Zhang Xinwu, when Zhang Xinwu was still at the master level, the control faction frantically sent people to encircle and suppress him, as if they were determined to kill the chicken to scare the monkey at any cost.

As a result, as he continued to kill, Zhang Xinwu became a master.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the control faction began to talk about moral principles and wanted to put a tight ring on Zhang Xinwu to make him obey the overall situation.

Zhang Xinwu refused to obey, and even relied on his perseverance to successfully reach the realm of Martial Saint. He easily uprooted the control faction and crushed all those big shots who were originally high and mighty into mud, killing them and destroying their clans.

If two of the four great gods had not arrived at the critical moment and fought a fierce battle with Zhang Xinwu on the outskirts of the imperial capital, with the battle ending in a draw, this matter would probably not have ended well.

From then on, Dongji Country's attitude towards martial artists changed. At least the two sides could have a somewhat equal dialogue, instead of being treated like cattle and horses as before.

Instead, martial artists are divided into different groups through various screening mechanisms.

Ordinary martial artists are strictly controlled and managed by the Martial Arts Association and given certain resources for training, but they are still positioned as high-level cattle and horses.

For example, He Zhongyang and Luo Jun are positioned in this way.

As for master-level martial artists, the official attitude is completely different. Basically, they are based on mutually beneficial cooperation, and direct suppression rarely occurs.

Even when dealing with martial arts families with masters in charge, the authorities only target them by supporting civilian martial artists, rather than directly punishing the martial arts families, unless the martial arts families directly raise the flag of rebellion.

After all, within the Martial Arts Association, the power of martial arts families is still very strong and cannot be ignored.

When one reaches the Grandmaster level, even the officials must show respect, provide various benefits and preferential treatments, and win him over by bundling interests.

Although Ye Qingzhou has not yet become a master, he already has the potential to become a master, so the authorities will not treat Ye Qingzhou as a lackey or a beast of burden, but will try to tie him up with interests.

This is why Gu Minghui and the divine general Qinglong were so kind to Ye Qingzhou. You have to know that behind them both stood the official forces of the Dongji Kingdom.

As for the Martial Saint, at this level, everything he does is basically based on his heart.

After all, you can't make a "nuclear bomb" with thoughts obey the law and follow the rules of the game set by others.

It is obvious that the talent displayed by Ye Qingzhou has surpassed that of Zhang Xinwu in the past.

With the precedent of Zhang Xinwu, the authorities also knew that it was impossible to completely control a martial arts genius like Ye Qingzhou.

"President, what is our attitude towards Ye Qingzhou in the future?"

Bai Yuanhu pondered for a moment, then said: "Give them the due treatment, and don't have any other ideas. Martial arts itself is a kind of power that is difficult to control, let alone a genius of Ye Qingzhou's level? You can't destroy it if you can't get it, right?"

In fact, it would be fine if it could be destroyed, but I am afraid that if it is not destroyed, and another master crazier than Zhang Xinwu appears, wouldn’t that be like shooting oneself in the foot?

That’s how the original control faction was swept into the dustbin of history. Every failure makes one wiser. The current Wushu Association will never make the same mistake again.

After all, the existence of vitality will continuously give birth to new martial artists.

Unless all the vitality is eliminated, there will be endless martial arts geniuses. Do we have to learn from the early days of the Western Extreme Country and introduce a "Martial Arts Act"?

This thing is useless except for causing crazy conflicts between ordinary people and martial artists.

Therefore, although the current national policy of Dongji State seems to be strict in its management of martial artists, it is actually very relaxed in terms of actual implementation.

The core purpose is to live in peace with each other, develop the secret realm together, and share the benefits.

Finally, Bai Yuanhu reminded Luo Jun: "He Zhongyang's case has come to an end. The perpetrator is Ghost Sword Chou Duan Ming. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

Luo Jun lowered his head.

"Ye Qingzhou has now joined the Tianji Research Institute. It can be seen that he is still willing to cooperate with the authorities. Such a peerless genius should not be treated as a lackey, otherwise it will only backfire."

Bai Yuanhu was hinting to Luo Jun not to cause trouble for Ye Qingzhou.

Luo Jun sighed: "President, I know what to do."

On the other hand, Ye Qingzhou, who returned to Linjiang City, participated in various commendation activities for several days. He was first welcomed by a line of people at Linjiang No. 1 Middle School. The principal, Zhao Dezhu, almost smiled to his death. The celebration was even more grand than the centenary celebration of the school.

Afterwards, Ye Qingzhou accepted the city's invitation to have dinner with the mayor, and was told that he had been selected as one of the top ten outstanding young people in Linjiang this year.

Various social honors came one after another.

The president of the local Chamber of Commerce in Linjiang even personally invited Ye Qingzhou, hoping that he could join and become the martial arts consultant of the Linjiang Chamber of Commerce, with a consulting fee of 100,000 per month.

You can earn a million dollars a year without doing anything!
A successful martial artist has this kind of social influence.

Even if you don't ask, someone will force a lot of money into your pocket.

Ye Qingzhou did not agree rashly, but accepted Xu Yinchuan's invitation first, went to Xu's house as a guest, and asked for the other party's opinion.

At the Xu family mansion, Xu Yinchuan personally received Ye Qingzhou.

"Uncle Xu, Linjiang Chamber of Commerce wants to invite me to become their member. Do you think I should agree?"

"My advice is, say yes."

Xu Yinchuan smiled and explained, "In fact, most businessmen are very smart. You don't have to worry about being bothered by various mundane affairs after joining the Chamber of Commerce, which will delay your cultivation. They are not that stupid. The reason they invited you is because they are optimistic about your potential. They even hope that your cultivation level will be as high as possible, so that they can avoid a lot of trouble when they go out to do business in the future."

The social order of Dongji Kingdom is certainly stable and harmonious, but where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. In particular, the rise of the martial artists has brought subtle changes to the original business order.

Nowadays, it is no longer popular to go to court to resolve some business disputes. Instead, everyone sets up a ring to compete with each other privately.

Whichever side wins gets the final say.

This will prevent business fights from turning into bloody conflicts, which would be too shameful.

This is still within the country. Many Dongji capital forces that go abroad to do business are much more unrestrained.

Directly invite martial artists at the master or even grandmaster level, and perhaps a fight in the ring can directly determine the ownership of billions or even tens of billions of profits.
