Swallowing the Stars: Ten Thousand Times Return for Taking on Disciples

Chapter 13 Selection of Position, First-Class Mentor

Lu Qingshan's figure once again coalesced in the virtual universe, now located at the headquarters of the Qianwu Dojo on the Qianwu Continent.

"The Two-Leaf Dry Witch?"

The two students walking towards him noticed the two striking leaf emblems on Lu Qingshan's clothes. Their pupils contracted slightly, and they quickly bowed in greeting.

"Greetings, my lord!"

Even students training at the headquarters of the Qianwu Dojo have very few opportunities to see a powerful figure like the Two-Leaf Qianwu.

After all, even in the virtual universe, the powerful and these students are not in the same area at all.

"Hmm." Lu Qingshan nodded calmly.

His gaze fell upon the two, a faint trace of his spiritual energy brushing past them like a gentle breeze. However, the result of his investigation left him somewhat disappointed; there was nothing unusual.

“I don’t feel anything at all. It seems that in the virtual universe, it is ultimately impossible to directly perceive a person’s potential talent.” Lu Qingshan realized this. “To discover the genius disciples recognized by the system, we still have to see them with our own eyes and feel them personally.”

While the virtual universe may be wondrous, it is ultimately constructed from data. Unless one directly applies the laws of the domain to trigger deep calculations within the system, it is impossible to judge the potential of this data-driven body simply by observing it with the naked eye.

"It would be much more convenient to select talents directly in the virtual universe..." Lu Qingshan said with a hint of regret.

"What are your names?" Lu Qingshan asked.

"Sir, my name is Harley!"

"My name is Adams!"

The two responded quickly, their faces full of respect.

A two-leaf shaman personally asked them their names; if the other students knew, they would probably be green with envy.

"Do you know where the administration building is?" Lu Qingshan asked calmly.

"The administration building? I know it! It's not far ahead. Please allow me to show you the way!"

Harley's eyes flashed with ecstasy as he instantly guessed the key point.

This person must be a newly promoted Qianwu, visiting the virtual universe headquarters of the dojo for the first time.

Such an opportunity might not come once in a thousand years!
“Okay, lead the way.” Lu Qingshan did not refuse. In this virtual universe, physical abilities are no different from ordinary people, but the ability to move at high speeds in reality has been lost, so having someone lead the way is more convenient.

Adams, who was standing to the side, realized that his opportunity had been taken by his companion. A look of annoyance flashed across his face, and he hurriedly followed.

Harley was highly intelligent and had a lively personality. He took the initiative to introduce various information about the dojo along the way, and even mixed in some insider gossip.

He had a very deep understanding of the dojo, even more so than Mo Li.

Of course, his knowledge was limited to the publicly available information; the real core secrets were not something a junior student could obtain. Even so, this information was quite helpful to Lu Qingshan, who was new to the area.

Before long, the three of them arrived at the front of the administration building.

“Sir, the personnel department is on the third floor. We do not have sufficient authority to enter,” Harley said respectfully.

"Yes, I can go by myself." Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, stepped towards the door, and left with the words, "Your name is Harley, right? Not bad."

"Yes, thank you, sir." Harley trembled with excitement upon hearing this.

After Lu Qingshan left, he clenched his fist, clenched it hard, and cheered in a low voice, "It's done!"

If the elders of the family were to find out that he had actually received praise from a two-leaf shaman, the family's resources would surely be tilted towards him.

Among the hundreds of millions of members of the family, there are several geniuses like him. Even he was only received by the clan leader once when he joined the headquarters of the Qianwu Dojo.

This lord is a great being on par with the clan leader.

"Coming to this Qianwu Taoist temple was definitely the right decision!" he exclaimed, his heart pounding with excitement.

"Harley, you're really not being fair!" Adams said with dissatisfaction. Harley had stolen the show, and he had been completely overshadowed. That person probably couldn't even remember his name. The ship of friendship was already in jeopardy.

"Haha, my good brother Adams!" Harley laughed, patting Adams on the shoulder forcefully. "Don't say that. Think about it, if I hadn't reacted quickly, would we have gotten this chance to lead the way?" His eyes gleamed. "We've accompanied the lord all this way; he must remember what we look like. That's a good thing! Besides, if it were you in his shoes, would you have dared to talk so confidently with him?"

"This..." Adams was speechless for a moment. He certainly didn't have Harley's courage to talk and laugh in front of the Two-Leaf Dry Wizard.

"See, my brother, you've finally come to your senses, haven't you? You're my brother Harley, when would I ever forget you when something good happens?"

Harley put his arm around Adams' shoulder and pulled him sharply towards him.

In just a few words, Adams' dissatisfaction dissipated, and his eyes even showed a hint of gratitude.

……

"Beep! Identity verification successful."

After entering the administration building and verifying his identity, Lu Qingshan went straight to an office on the third floor.

"Oh? A newly promoted Two-Leaf Dry Wizard? You're here to receive your assignment, right?" Behind the desk, an old man with green skin raised his cloudy eyes.

"Yes, sir. I recently passed the assessment and would like to see if there are any suitable positions available."

Lu Qingshan recalled the information provided by Mo Li. The person in front of him should be one of the three heads of the Human Resources Department of the Virtual Universe Company of the Qianwu Dojo, a senior Three-Leaf Qianwu practitioner, Master Jimmy.

"You've come at the right time; there just happen to be a few good positions available recently." Jimmy smiled slightly and pushed a stack of documents in front of Lu Qingshan.

Lu Qingshan intently flipped through the pages.

"The person in charge of the Canglan Star Qianwu Dojo? An important planet with a Realm Lord overseeing it, no wonder they need a Two-Leaf Qianwu..."

He had some impression of Canglan Star. In the original novel, Luo Feng participated in the trainee mercenary assessment on this planet, and the Thunder Realm Lord's Realm Lord World was hidden here.

How could such a popular place be empty? It's a place raking in profits.

Lu Qingshan did not rush to make a choice and continued browsing.

There are many tasks, most of which involve being in charge of a certain shamanic ritual site.

The dojos presided over by the Two-Leaf Dry Wizard are generally one level higher than those of the Dragon Star.

"Dark Blood Star? Suppressing Blood Clouds gives extra points... Never mind."

Lu Qingshan only glanced at those tasks of guarding the local areas and then paid no more attention to them.

The person in charge of a training center on a remote planet has far fewer opportunities to interact with geniuses than someone who stays at headquarters.

"Hmm? The Qianwu Dojo headquarters is recruiting two first-class instructors... excellent benefits." Lu Qingshan's gaze lingered on this spot. "That's it!"

He originally planned to wait and see, but then he remembered Mo Li's reminder—the headquarters had too many tasks and too few available, so he couldn't miss the opportunity.

This mentorship assignment, while seemingly lacking in the grandeur of governing a region, actually perfectly aligns with Lu Qingshan's requirements.

Contact with geniuses?

The role of a teacher is just right, and staying at the headquarters in the Qianwu Continent means there's basically no danger to worry about.

After all, the universe's number one villain is right here... if he hadn't perished.

“Master Jimmy, I’ve chosen the position of First-Class Instructor at Headquarters.” Lu Qingshan handed back the selected document.

Jimmy glanced at it and nodded slightly: "Ninth level of the Lightning Beam Domain, mastery of the Fusion Domain, and a touch of the fundamental laws of lightning... The conditions are met. Okay, this position is yours."

Lu Qingshan's detailed assessment data had already been synchronized to the headquarters database, and Jimmy could easily find it with a simple search.

If he hadn't demonstrated sufficient ability at the time, he might not have gotten this position.

Jimmy, who is standing in front of you, has the authority to veto.
