Starting from a short stick, becoming the master of the universe

The next day.

In the city of hope.

Jiang Cheng and Lin Yue walked side by side on the road, and their destination was naturally the Hope City College in the center.

Lin Yue fiddled with the hem of her clothes and asked anxiously, "Brother Jiang Cheng, will they really let me enroll?"

"Why not?"

Jiang Cheng turned his head and looked at her strangely.

"Didn't you hear the leader say yesterday that anyone who can sense the Force or spiritual power can enter the academy to study?"

"Listen, I heard it. If we had just arrived, would it be..." Lin Yue said hesitantly.

"Don't worry, I believe this situation will not happen here. Besides, I am the deputy director of the Alchemy Department after all, and I can't refuse. If anyone bullies you in the future, you can tell me." Jiang Cheng couldn't help laughing.

"it is good!"

Lin Yue nodded heavily.

The two of them arrived at the gate. Jiang Cheng entered the guard room and told them his purpose. Soon, a man in a well-dressed suit came jogging over. When he saw Jiang Cheng for the first time, he extended his hand and said, "Hello, Director Jiang. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I'm Cui Hao from the principal's office. The principal is waiting for you in the office. Please follow me."

"It's Director Cui. You're welcome." Jiang Cheng also stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party.

After the two of them let go of each other's hands with a smile, Cui Hao looked behind Jiang Cheng and saw Lin Yue, who was lowering her head, with a wider smile on her face.

"This one should be Director Jiang's sister, right? I heard she's a first-level Force warrior?"

"Yes, it is."

Lin Yue whispered.

Cui Hao had obviously received the invitation, and said with a smile: "Student Lin Yue, please come with us later. After we send Director Jiang to the principal, I will take you to complete the admission procedures."

"Really?" Lin Yue opened her eyes wide, thinking that she would be tested on her punching strength, speed and so on, but she was admitted directly.

"Hehehe, the leader specifically instructed me yesterday." Cui Hao said with a smile, and then made a gesture of invitation to Jiang Cheng.

Soon, the three of them arrived outside an office. On the sign above the door were the words "Principal's Office".

Cui Hao reached out his hand, knocked on the door, and said, "Principal, Director Jiang is here."

"Let him in."

A woman's voice was heard in the house, and it sounded majestic.

"Director Jiang, you just go in. The principal will tell you in detail some things to pay attention to. I will take Lin Yue to go through the admission procedures." Cui Hao said with a smile.

"Excuse me, Director Cui."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Director Cui waved his hands repeatedly and took Lin Yue towards the stairs.

Jiang Cheng turned the door handle and just took a step forward, he felt a sharp gaze staring at him.

Look up.

There was only one woman in the room. She looked to be about thirty years old, with fair skin, long hair tied up behind her head, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. She exuded the aura of a mature woman.

But her eyes were sharp, and you could tell at a glance that she was the type that was not easy to mess with.

In fact, the same is true.

Even though she was a female principal, she was actually an eighth-level master! She was also a master of the Force who controlled the water element. This kind of strength was rare in the entire City of Hope.

"Hello, principal."

Jiang Cheng closed the door and then greeted him formally.

"sit down."

Xu Juan pointed to the coffee table in front of her. At the same time, she walked out from behind the desk. She was also wearing a suit, but the difference was that she was wearing a skirt suit on the lower body, revealing a pair of strong and powerful legs.

She walked to another sofa and sat down, staring into Jiang Cheng's eyes and said:
"The leader has basically told me everything about you. It's no problem for you to be the deputy director of the Alchemy Department. But before that, I have a few things to explain to you."

"Principal, please speak."

Jiang Cheng sat upright.

"The first and most important thing is that although you were introduced by the leader, now that you are here, you must obey the arrangements of the academy. If you disagree with this, you can leave directly or tell the leader. But I have to tell you that there is no point in doing so."

After hearing these words, Jiang Cheng felt that the woman in front of him was indeed very strong.

Of course, she does have the capital, both in terms of ability and position.

However, he did not agree directly, but followed her words and asked: "What is the specific arrangement?"

"This involves the arrangements and requirements for you in the future."

Xu Juan continued:

"I heard that you are good at refining pills that can restore the spirit. You can even easily refine top-level awakening pills?"

"Yes."

Jiang Cheng also said truthfully: "I am already very proficient in the method of refining the Awakening Pill. With five portions of medicinal materials, I can easily refine a batch of top-grade Awakening Pills."

Xu Juan listened carefully to every word Jiang Cheng said, and at the same time, her eyes were also paying attention to the changes in the latter's expression.

After hearing what Jiang Cheng said, she nodded and said, "Okay, I know the reason why you left the Gu family was because of the treatment and because you didn't want to be used as a tool for alchemy. So if I asked you to refine pills for 12 hours a day, even if it was a - split, you would refuse, right?"

"Yes."

Jiang Cheng said without hesitation: "Old Qin said on the phone that the share can be increased, even to 80:20, but I refused. A 50:50 split is a win-win for everyone. In return, I also need time to practice and improve my strength. After all, no matter where you are, strength is the most important. So, the most I can accept is to refine pills for half a day every day."

Xu Juan looked at Jiang Cheng for a while and said, "You have quite a personality. Okay, half a day is enough. With your efficiency, it shouldn't be difficult to refine two furnaces of top-grade Awakening Pills in half a day, right?"

“That’s no problem.”

Jiang Cheng nodded.

"Okay, let's put it this way. You need to refine two batches of top-grade awakening pills every day. The academy will provide the medicinal materials, equipment, and venue, and we will split the profits 50-50."

"can."

"Don't rush to agree. There is one more condition."

Xu Juan shook her head. "The academy is short of alchemy talents. We need you to train some. You mentioned this to Mr. Qin on the phone, and you agreed to it."

"No problem, but I need to know how to cultivate. You can't let me make pills in the morning and teach students in the afternoon? In this way, I will only have time to practice at night." Jiang Cheng shrugged.

Xu Juan expected Jiang Cheng to say this and held up two fingers.

"Twice, every week, you must take out two and a half days to teach students. This is what you have to do as the deputy director. If you have no objection, we will discuss the salary. If not, please turn left when you leave."
