My brother is so cunning

Chapter 934 Splitting a Dollar in Two

As a rigorous scientist and a shrewd businessman, Wen Rui has an innate talent for achieving great things with little money.

The education of the insect-human race and the insect-human hybrid breeding experiment are carried out simultaneously. Why not use one set of resources to accomplish two things?

The vaults in the Fallout series also serve an important function of social experimentation, and perhaps the social experimentation is even more important than the vault itself.

These are all scientific experiments conducted by capitalists. Generally speaking, this is the routine: splitting every penny in half and ensuring that cost reduction and efficiency improvement are done properly.

The young male humans from the Demon Alliance who were selected as volunteer teachers were not just randomly chosen breeding machines. Each one had been screened by Jarvis's big data and was definitely an outstanding young man from the Demon Alliance with sound political integrity, upright values, good health, and no bad habits.

Jarvis could confidently guarantee that there were no perverts or lechers among them. As for what would happen after participating in the experiment, that was not Jarvis's concern.

Of course, just as Zhao Mingcheng had predicted, the young people selected in this batch were all very mediocre in ability. There were absolutely no extraordinary individuals, chosen ones, hidden geniuses, or pigs that could devour tigers among them.

The reason for selecting such a group is, on the one hand, to ensure that they can show the most normal aspects of humanity in the process of educating the insectoid race. Although they are mediocre in the demon alliance, from the perspective of the entire human race, they are definitely far above average and have reached the passing standard of an excellent human race.

Male college students in the Demon Alliance are just ordinary people within the alliance, facing immense employment pressure, stuck at the bottom with no hope of promotion, and even earning less than some exceptionally talented productive demons. Yet, if they were placed in the vassal states of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they would all be capable ministers and officials who rise to high positions.

Someone who is good enough but not monstrous is suitable for basic education, to set an example for the insectoid race through words and deeds.

When the Insectoid race integrates into the Demon Alliance's racial family in the future, they will neither look down on humans as scum nor have excessively high expectations, thinking that everyone in the Demon Alliance is a dragon among geniuses and the elite among elites.

Wen Rui and Wen Daoren have observed many similar incidents of volunteer teachers being attacked by students. Of the first batch of one hundred experimental schools, nearly thirty new principals have lost their precious first month of school.

This is already quite remarkable. If it weren't for Jarvis's big data screening, the selected candidates would all be very self-disciplined. If it were just a random selection of eligible men, Wen Rui would bet that none of them could resist the temptation.

Some of these young men decided to participate in the life-extending experiment because they harbored the ideal of cultivating immortality. They hoped to excel in this teaching support activity, win the ultimate elixir prize, and thus defy fate to embark on the path to immortality.

Take, for example, the chubby teacher. As a fat man who sweats easily, he is a heartthrob in the eyes of some insect girls. He is a walking hormone and a delectable delicacy.

He managed to endure it for a month, and out of concern for the students' safety, he was tricked into a secluded place by two insect-girl girls and only gave in after being coerced a little. In the modern world, he would be considered a saint who could remain unmoved by temptation.

Despite his somewhat greasy and sleazy appearance, he is a very patient, book-loving, knowledgeable, gentle, and kind man. If it weren't for this extremely difficult mortal love tribulation that corrupted his Dao heart, he would have had a good chance of achieving his ideal of cultivating immortality after completing his service term with an excellent evaluation.

It's just unknown whether, after his Dao heart is shattered, he will give up entirely and embark on another scandalous life where he only envies the lovebirds and not the immortals.

Besides those seeking immortality like the chubby teacher, there are also people like Zhao Mingcheng who have families, and whose partners are high-level demon cultivators whose lifespans far exceed their own. They participate in the life extension experiment in order to spend more time with their loved ones and soulmates, to escape the curse of the theory of lifespan, and their resistance to temptation is higher than that of the former type of seeker.

Those who persevered for a month without falling victim to the insect-girl's poisonous attacks were mainly from this group.

In fact, the insectoid girl's physical abilities are indeed quite good, and her physical qualities far exceed those of human girls at the same developmental stage, but that doesn't mean she can overwhelm a strong human male.

In a sense, if a woman wants to force a man, it is physiologically impossible if the man does not cooperate.

When such incidents occur, the Ultron Guardian Robots stationed at various comprehensive schools are actually secretly monitoring and protecting the schools, and will never allow any incidents of mutual harm to occur.

When the insect girl's coercion reaches a certain threshold and may cause physical harm to the person being coerced, the Ultron Guardians will appear immediately.

In other words, as long as these selected men can maintain their integrity and resist temptation, they will absolutely not be harmed.

This can be considered a test. If a seeker of immortality can resist such temptations and persist for fifty years, how enlightened will their understanding of the Dao be?
With this mindset, after obtaining the elixir and undergoing a marrow cleansing and meridian purification, his cultivation progress will surely be rapid, and he will soon ascend to immortality.

If you can't even withstand this kind of test, you won't achieve anything in your cultivation of immortality. You might as well give up early, live a simple life, and live a wonderful life as a mortal.

Those who participate in the experiment for the sake of their family or lovers, and who withstand this test, are definitely true lovers. With their lifespans extended, they will surely be able to stay with their partners for hundreds or thousands of years.

If you can't withstand the test, even if your lifespan is extended to the same length as your partner's, you might not be able to spend your whole life together. It's better to give up early and not let each other down.

Of course, Wen Rui also admitted that this test was indeed quite difficult, and probably 99.99% of men would not be able to persevere. But what if they did?
If someone actually manages to clear the level, it would be like selecting a peerless genius with a mind comparable to a saint from a group of mediocre talents. We could throw the best elixirs and resources at them to elevate their aptitude from being unable to cultivate immortality to having a top-tier celestial spiritual root.

This method of selecting cultivators prioritizes virtue and character. Cultivating immortality begins with cultivating the heart. Once one's Dao heart is clear and one's character is harmonious, one can remain untouched by worldly affairs. Cultivation and Dao attainment will come easily; breaking through five realms in a single day is not an exaggeration.

As for the unfortunate failure, being a pile driver for fifty years is not a loss for a man, and presumably the losers won't resent Wen Rui.

Even if everyone fails, Wen Rui will still pick the best among the worst and choose the person who has done the fewest pile-driving attempts to receive the Outstanding Service Award.

At the same time, Wen Rui will also award the one who has driven the most piles with a consolation prize for hard work, in recognition of his great contribution to the insect-human breeding experiment.
