Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

The official announcement of the cultivation method also serves this purpose.

Let's see who can rise to prominence amidst the changing tides.

The publicly available cultivation methods are there for all to see; the fact that those who stand out speaks volumes.

There are no flimsy reasons or excuses; luck is also a part of ability.

If everyone sees the cultivation method at the same time, why is it that some people are able to stand out?

This is an open and transparent selection opportunity.

Recruiting cultivators is simply Beidou's responsibility.

Now that the higher-ups have started, let them take over the rest!

If he has to wait for instructions from above for everything, what's the difference between him, the person in charge, and a mere tool?

Does it live up to the list of terms listed under its title?

People should have some of their own subjective thoughts.

The organization's intention is simply to let him do it without worry!

Therefore, Ye Chen issued the order without hesitation.

Although it's only been a little over a week and there's still plenty of time, it's good to get the people below to pay attention to the situation in each region as soon as possible!

I estimate that in another week or two we'll see a large number of seedlings sprouting up!

Ye Chen looked around at everyone and continued, "Today, I will set up several spirit-gathering arrays in your respective areas, and I will also distribute some cultivation resources to you!"

Upon hearing the name "Spirit Gathering Array," everyone looked at each other in surprise. What did it mean literally?

Are there still cultivation resources?

Is this an opportunity to cultivate in a spiritual vein?

But there are only so many spiritual vein resources, and you have to wait in line!

Ye Chen gestured for everyone to calm down: "Let's write down the questions first, and then we can ask them all together later!"

This is nothing!

Ye Chen went on and on, explaining the key points and precautions for the upcoming work.

This gave everyone time to ask questions.

Someone immediately asked, "What are the compensation standards for the newly hired employees? Are they the same as before?"

Ye Chen rolled her eyes at him: "Still the same? Are you not going to live your life anymore? Do you know how big of a sum of money that is?"

The person asking the question looked a little embarrassed and scratched his head.

Ye Chen continued, "This is a large-scale recruitment drive, essentially giving them a chance to advance further. The assessment period is three months, during which they will only receive a basic living allowance. Only those who can cultivate their Qi to level three or higher within three months and whose character is deemed satisfactory will be formally included in the staff. Note that character has the highest priority!"

If everyone were to receive high salaries and benefits from the outset, it would undoubtedly add a significant burden to the treasury.

This talent selection is just the beginning; it may involve millions or tens of millions of people, not just one or two.

Even if it's one in a hundred, there are still more than ten million people.

We can't possibly give everyone a 500 million yuan settlement allowance, can we?

That's an expenditure of tens of trillions...

That terrifying string of zeros is enough to make many people feel suffocated.

The official announcement of the cultivation method was originally intended as a benefit for all citizens; it's impossible for it to be this generous.

Therefore, this matter must be handled as a special case.

If there are too many talented people, it's even possible to raise the bar further!

Just like university admissions, it's about selecting the best of the best!

For example, reaching level one or two of Qi Refining within a month!

If the base number is too high, then the standard should be raised further.

This led to the discovery of a group of true geniuses...

Those who ultimately stand out in the selection process are the ones they truly want!

Everyone nodded.

Large-scale selection, though simple, is very direct.

The accuracy rate of talent selection may not be 100%, but 80% is sufficient.

Some people might feel it's unfair, wondering why they receive different treatment than the veterans of Beidou.

Are they any worse than the old Beidou people?

There are mediocre people among the veterans of Beidou, but that's just how reality is.

There is no such thing as absolute fairness; that's just how times are!

It's normal for there to be a difference in compensation between startup teams and contract workers recruited on a large scale!

The level of policy support varies.

All a trendsetter can do is stay ahead of the times.

If you surpass 80% of people, you can live a very carefree life.

And anyone who surpasses 99% can become a star!

Perhaps a new industry chain will emerge in society in the future, such as cultivation tutoring classes, cultivation loans, and subsidies for cultivators...

"Brother Ye, did you mean the Spirit Gathering Array literally when you said it?" someone else asked.

Ye Chen nodded: "That's right, it means exactly what it says, but spiritual energy is ultimately limited, so you should weigh the options and allocate it yourselves!"

"What about cultivation resources?"

"We'll talk about that later; we'll distribute them to you all afterwards!"

"..."

Then, the crowd asked a few more questions, which Ye Chen answered one by one, and then they had no more questions.

Finally, at the end of the meeting, Ye Chen began to distribute storage jade tokens to everyone, one for each person, containing some basic pills!

Pills for use during the Qi Refining stage, such as Qi-Boosting Pills, Mind-Calming Pills, and Spirit-Enhancing Pills!

Everyone was extremely excited when they received the storage jade tokens.

They knew such things existed, but they never expected that Boss Ye would give one to each of them...

Ye Chen explained the types of pills and precautions for their use to everyone one by one.

Everyone listened like elementary school students!

Finally, when they saw the pills inside, they couldn't help but gasp!

What else can I say? Boss Ye is awesome!

Ye Shen is so magnanimous!

This position of chief executive officer is truly well-deserved!

I'm impressed! Absolutely impressed!

They've struck gold! This time, their department is going to rise to prominence!

At the end of the meeting, Ye Chen looked at everyone and slowly said, "You are the face of each department in Beidou. Your own strength must be enough to convince everyone. Your Qi Refining ability is not quite sufficient!"

Old Zhao and Chen Dao had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, but their faces showed no emotion.

Others felt a little uncomfortable.

Although there's only a two-word difference between Qi Refining and Foundation Building, the way they're phrased makes all the difference...

You can tell from the state of Chen Dao and Lao Zhao's department members.

After the department head successfully completed the foundation building process, the department members all stood up straighter!

Ye Chen continued, "Most of you are at the ninth level of Qi Refining and are seeking an opportunity to establish your foundation. Today, I will give you that opportunity. Each of you will receive a Foundation Establishment Pill. I want to see you establish your foundation within three days. Can you do it?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

They thought Ye Chen was going to admonish them to work hard, but instead he mentioned Foundation Establishment Pills?!

"Foundation Building Pill? What? Foundation Building Pill! The one that literally means Foundation Building Pill?" someone stammered.

Ye Chen nodded: "It means exactly what it says. As for its efficacy, you can refer to Chen Dao; he's the most qualified to speak on that!"

Chen Dao then grinned and stepped forward: "Hehe, to be honest, I only broke through because I took the pill given to me by Boss Ye, otherwise I would have been in big trouble!"

An uproar immediately erupted in the room.

They knew Chen Dao had broken through, but they didn't know there was such a thing behind it!

Moreover, it's always a bit harder for others to empathize with the situation. People only realize how rare and exciting it is when it actually happens to themselves and those around them.

This isn't just a new broom sweeping clean; it's practically a money-spending machine!
