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

The next day, Jiang Cheng came to the director's office, pushed open the door, and saw Ma Ming talking to a teacher from the alchemy department.

Seeing Jiang Cheng coming in, he immediately interrupted the conversation and said with a smile: "Director Jiang, Director Cui from the principal's office just came, but you haven't come yet. Director Cui left a message saying that Principal Xu wants to see you. Please go to the principal's office when you arrive."

"Principal Xu is looking for me?"

Jiang Cheng was slightly startled.

Doesn’t Xu Juan have his contact information?

If there is something, why not just give me a phone call?

As for sending someone specially to let him go?
"Yes."

Ma Ming was all smiles.

"Does the Director know what it is?"

Jiang Cheng asked curiously.

"This, this, this..."

Ma Ming smiled bitterly, "Director Cui left after leaving a message. Even if I wanted to ask, it was too late, not to mention..."

What's more, the other party was looking for Jiang Cheng instead of him, so he didn't dare to ask more questions.

"Okay, please, Director. I'll go over there."

Jiang Cheng asked casually without holding out much hope.

"well."

Ma Ming nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice.

On the way to the principal's office, Jiang Cheng guessed something.

Could it be that the news that I passed the assessment and became a resistance fighter reached Xu Juan's ears?

I have to say that this possibility is very high. After all, Xu Juan is the head of the academy. If someone in the academy passes the assessment, the base will not fail to tell her.

Soon, he arrived at the principal's office, only to see that the door was ajar.

He was about to raise his hand to knock on the door when a mature woman's voice sounded from inside, "No need to knock, just come in, and close the door by the way."

So Jiang Cheng pushed the door open and walked in. While closing the door, he looked inside the house.

Xu Juan was still dressed the same as when they first met, but at this moment she was standing by the window, looking at the surrounding scenery.

After hearing the door close, she turned around and pointed to the sofa and coffee table in front of her and said, "Sit down. I'm sure you've guessed why I called you here."

"Is it about me passing the test and becoming a resistance fighter?"

Jiang Cheng found a seat and sat down and asked.

"good."

Xu Juan came slowly.

"When we first met, I thought you were just talking, and two months later, I almost forgot about it. But I didn't expect you to actually take the test and pass it on your first try. Frankly speaking, you really impressed me."

"..."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng didn't know what to say.

Should I be grateful that the other person now thinks highly of me?
Or, oh, so you have looked down on me from the very beginning?

"You should also know that many teachers in our academy are also resistance fighters."

"Yes."

Jiang Cheng nodded.

However, this kind of teacher basically teaches students how to practice and fight.

In departments like alchemy and talisman making, where teachers tend to provide auxiliary services, the proportion of resistance fighters is very low.

It is also easy to understand. There is not enough time spent on researching elixirs and talismans, so how can we put extra energy on fighting?
In this case, it is natural that he will not be able to pass the assessment. "So, what are your plans for the future?"

Xu Juan sat down opposite and stared at Jiang Cheng.

Of course she knew that it was more convenient to discuss these things on the phone.

However, facial expressions and other things cannot be seen over the phone.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Jiang Cheng frowned slightly and looked at her in confusion.

"Of course, it's still the same as before. I refine two batches of top-grade awakening pills every morning. On Tuesday and Friday afternoons, I teach the students in the academy. The rest of the time will be spent on cultivation.

Because I passed the assessment, I am also a resistance fighter, so I can use the virtual combat system in the base unlimitedly. To be honest, this is a great improvement for me. In addition, if there is a mission, I will also carry it out. "

"I know."

Xu Juan said: "What I mean is, if you receive a task, do you really intend to carry it out?"

"What does the principal mean?"

Jiang Cheng heard the other party's implication, it seemed that he didn't want to carry out the mission?

"Your attainments in alchemy are second only to Director Ma, and your talent is above his. If anything unexpected happens during your mission, it will be a major blow not only to our college, but also to the entire City of Hope. So,"

Xu Juan leaned back on the sofa. "You don't need to carry out the missions given to you by the base. Also, you don't need to take the initiative to accept missions. Just teach alchemy in the academy. Of course, you can also keep the benefits of becoming a resistance soldier, including the contribution points you get every month and the right to use the combat system."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and asked, "Is this a notice from the principal or a notice from the base?"

"Is there a difference?"

Xu Juan glanced at him.

"I am not only the principal of the academy, but also one of the two deputy leaders. What I said just now represents both the academy and the base."

Jiang Cheng was really surprised when he heard this.

But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense that Xu Juan is an eighth-level Force Master.

Having said that, he still shook his head.

"Principal, I understand your good intentions, but I cannot enjoy the benefits of being a resistance fighter while not fulfilling my responsibilities."

"Your responsibility is not to carry out missions, but to refine pills and train more alchemists. If you really have to choose between the two, training more alchemists is more important. Do you understand?"

Xu Juan frowned and spoke with a stronger tone.

"But as a resistance fighter, carrying out the mission is what we should do, so I'm sorry I can't agree to what the principal said."

Jiang Cheng said without even thinking.

This is one of the reasons, although a less important one.

The most important reason is contribution.

He didn't want to feel short of money when buying treasures.

As for alchemy, the Awakening Pill is only a third-grade pill after all. As his strength increases, the profits it brings will become less and less.

Only by completing tasks can you earn considerable contribution points.

Xu Juan's pupils shrank slightly, and her tone softened a little. "My tone just now may be a little tough, but I always speak like this. I hope you don't mind."

"It's okay, I understand." Jiang Cheng said.

The other party is not only the deputy leader, the principal, but also an eighth-level grandmaster. No matter which aspect, he is a well-deserved core figure in the City of Hope. Even if he does not show it on the surface, he is arrogant in his heart.

"Some missions may seem simple, but in fact, there are all kinds of accidents that could happen. This includes the seemingly simplest one, patrolling the passage. This kind of daily mission will be something you will participate in in a few days. If you are not careful, your life may be in danger. Although the possibility is very small, it does not mean that it does not exist."
