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

At a turn, the two parted ways. Watching Jiang Cheng's hurried back, Xie Jianfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

When he heard about this good thing, he signed up the next second. In the following days, he even dreamed that he won the first place and got a million contribution points, but he didn't know how to spend them.

But the reality gave him a slap in the face. It was difficult, too difficult. Normally, it was hard to see masters above level five in the academy. But every time a big competition started, they would show up.

This does not include the third and fourth level grandmasters, who are the only ones with a relatively good chance of making it into the top ten.

As for the others, they just participated and joined in the fun. After all, if their students asked about it, it would be embarrassing not to participate.

"Director Xie, who was the person you just spoke to?"

At this moment, a voice sounded in his ears.

Xie Jianfeng looked back and saw several teachers gathered together and looking at him.

"Oh, that's Director Jiang from the Alchemy Department. We met on the road and had a good chat." He replied with a smile.

"Jiang Cheng, right? We know, Director Xie, have you forgotten what happened two or three months ago?" a female teacher said worriedly.

"What happened two or three months ago?" Xie Jianfeng was stunned, then he remembered.

"Yes, Director Xie, you'd better stay away from him."

"Anyway, we don't have much in common with him, so there's no need to deal with him."

"That's it."

After hearing what they said, Xie Jianfeng had a strange expression on his face.

Because before this, he also thought so in his heart. At most, he would symbolically say hello to Jiang Cheng when they were working in a team.

But after what happened yesterday, he completely changed his mind.

Principal Sun is very capable, but even if you have a good relationship with him, people may not necessarily look up to you. Besides, even if you have a good relationship with him, can they still save him during the mission?
But Jiang Cheng really saved him and several other people's lives yesterday. No matter from which point of view, it would be bad if he still held on to his previous thoughts.

"In fact, Director Jiang is not what you see."

Xie Jianfeng hesitated for a moment and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several people in front of him staring at him with wide eyes in disbelief.

"I mean it, just like yesterday..."

He had only said half of his words when the others ran away. From afar, they could hear discussions.

"I think Director Xie has lost his mind. He actually said something like that!"

"That's right. Everyone knows about that. He is not that kind of person. What kind of person is he?"

"Forget it. We've already advised him. It's his business if he doesn't listen."

"Ugh."

Hearing these words, Xie Jianfeng shook his head helplessly.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng had already arrived outside the director's office of the Alchemy Department. He pushed open the door and saw Ma Ming had arrived, sitting behind his desk looking at documents.

"Morning, Director."

Jiang Cheng walked into the room and greeted everyone.

"Good morning, Director Jiang, you've come at the right time. I have something to tell you." Ma Ming said with a smile.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Jiang Cheng's expression became a little serious.

Although he is the deputy director of the Alchemy Department, he basically doesn't care about any matters big or small in the Alchemy Department, and he has no interest in doing so.

Ma Ming also knew this, so he didn't bother him unless there was something he had to inform him about.

"It's like this, Director Jiang. Yesterday, the registration for our college competition started. Didn't you pass the assessment at the base? Perhaps you can give it a try? If you come in first, you can get a reward of one million contribution points.
However, the competition is very difficult, and the opponents are very strong. It is difficult for ordinary people to enter the top ten, but it doesn't matter. Director Jiang, as long as you can enter the top 30, it will be considered as breaking the record of our alchemy department and bringing honor to us. "Ma Ming smiled and narrowed his eyes.

"So that's what it is." Jiang Cheng suddenly realized. "Director Jiang knows about it?"

"Well, I just met Director Xie on the way here, and I learned from him that he is about to sign up."

"I see. I thought you didn't know."

"It's okay, Director. If I hadn't met him, I really wouldn't know about this. I'll have to remind you when the time comes." Jiang Cheng expressed his gratitude and asked, "Director, besides me, are there any other people participating in our alchemy department?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Ming spread his hands.

It's not just the alchemy department, there's basically no one participating in the talisman making department, weapon refining department, etc.

After all, for them, there is not enough time to refine pills and make talismans. The time for cultivation has to be squeezed out, not to mention that they have to take out time to practice for combat.

Regardless of whether it is the assessment at the base or the college competition that will be held in more than a week, the use of external objects such as elixirs, talismans, and treasures is not allowed.

"That's it."

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "I understand. Don't worry, Director. This time, I will definitely bring honor to our Alchemy Department."

"Good! Good!"

Ma Ming nodded repeatedly.

Although he didn't have any expectations for Jiang Cheng in his heart.

If Jiang Cheng could make it into the top 30, it would be considered a record-breaking achievement in the Alchemy Department.

If Jiang Cheng knew what he was thinking, I wonder what he would feel.

The first thirty, isn’t that a bit of an underestimation?

Two days have passed since the registration day.

The atmosphere of the entire college became lively.

The students were talking about this matter while they were walking. They were not only discussing who would win first place in their grade, but they were also arguing heatedly about the competition among the teachers who would arrive later.

It seemed as if the competition originally organized for the students was just an appetizer, and the subsequent competition among the teachers was the main course.

evening.

At the dinner table, Lin Yue looked at Jiang Cheng excitedly, "Brother Jiang Cheng, do you know about the college competition?"

"I know, what's wrong?" Jiang Cheng looked at her puzzledly.

"Have you signed up?" Lin Yue asked expectantly.

"..."

Jiang Cheng was stunned and thought she was going to ask something, so he nodded.

"Really!"

Lin Yue exclaimed, "That's great, Brother Jiang Cheng, I knew you would participate. When you compete, I will cheer for you and wish you get first place!"

Jiang Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Thinking of himself fighting in the virtual world and Lin Yue cheering for him outside the big screen, he felt that it was a bit irritating to the eyes, but he still said, "Thank you for your blessing."

"It's okay, it's okay." Lin Yue smiled even brighter.

"By the way, have you signed up?"

"I reported it, but..." Lin Yue lowered her head embarrassedly.

"Just do your best." Jiang Cheng smiled at her.

"Okay, I'll try my best!" Lin Yue nodded heavily.
