Fire Monster

Chapter 31 We Are One
Hearing this, Shu Mian and others almost jumped up with excitement, but Zhao Guanshan was confused. Go to the Governor's Office to work as a clerk and continue his studies?
He knew this.

The liberal arts courses taught in the Taoist temple are all basic + a small amount of intermediate knowledge. If you want to continue your studies, you can go to the Governor's Office. This place, as a quasi-government agency that manages Linjiang Prefecture, has its own independent education system dedicated to cultivating more advanced liberal arts professions.

It’s like a vocational high school!
However, this kind of selection has never had specific standards, so even Zhao Guanshan didn't dare to hope for it at the beginning.

Hearing this now, it would be a lie to say I’m not moved.

To put it bluntly, working as a clerk in the Chief Secretary's Office is no less than passing the civil service exam and the future is bright.

If it had happened a day ago, Zhao Guanshan might have agreed.

But now he has already visualized the Fire Talisman, which is more than enough for him to become a Qi Refiner even if he goes to the Taoist department.

He wanted to switch to military science in order to change his destined fate.

Now he wants to switch to military science in order to better control his destiny and see if he can go further.

The Qi-refining masters of the Dao Department are certainly the chosen ones of heaven, and the immortal masters of the Dao Palace are certainly out of reach.

But he also believed that if he wanted to carry out this immortal cultivation industrial revolution more deeply and thoroughly, the focus should first be on military science.

In other words, liberal arts focus more on theoretical research, while military science focuses more on application.

It's not that he thinks that having a liberal arts background is bad, but he must first understand the military, go to the front line of the battlefield, understand himself, understand the evil, know where the direction is, and then do targeted research.

Zhao Guanshan did not think that he was omniscient and omnipotent just because he came from Earth. The reason why he was able to complete all six liberal arts courses in the Taoist Academy was not because he was awesome, but because most of the knowledge was elementary.

In the future, he hopes that he will have enough experience and accumulation to choose a more important direction to research and leverage.

In a word, he has great ambitions.

Even if you switch to the military department, you only have less than half a year, but after graduating from the military department, you can go to seal the Great Wall.

Therefore, taking a shortcut to the Governor's Office and continuing his studies in liberal arts is not what he wants at the moment, otherwise he may never be able to set foot on the Imperial Wall in his entire life.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guanshan shook his head slightly, "Thank you for your kindness, teacher, but I want to switch to the military department."

"Wu Ke?"

The martial arts teacher was stunned for a moment and almost thought he didn't hear clearly.

"Are you sure, or you don't understand what I mean? This is about going to the Chief Secretary to work as a clerk to continue your studies."

"I understand, but I still want to switch to the military department."

"Ha! Well, it's my personal wish and I can't force it. But if you want to change your mind, you can come to me before the end of this year. I admire you very much."

The martial arts teacher smiled and shouted to everyone, "Drop everything in your hands. Except for the magic pill, you are not allowed to take anything out of the magic village that is not yours. Now, take the reward and get out."

Three big coins per person, which is definitely a huge sum of money for Taoist students.

Everyone left happily.

Just as they were about to leave the Demon Village, Shu Mian suddenly said with a complicated expression: "Zhao Guanshan, are you really not going to work as a clerk in the Provincial Government? Or do you really not understand what that means? Once you complete your further studies, your status will be even higher than that of a martial artist."

"Thank you. I know."

Zhao Guanshan nodded and didn't want to discuss this issue any further. He had a clearer and more complete plan.

"Okay, if you really transfer to Wu Ke, I can't help you with resources, but I can tutor you for these Wu Ke courses for free."

"That's right, Brother Zhao, welcome to Wuke to be the boss, we are just waiting to hug your thick legs."

Han Erzi, Chen Su, Zhao Zhuo and others also laughed and they were looking forward to another wave of monthly bounties.

But just think about it, and you will understand how precious it is for the Taoist temple to organize such a large-scale bounty for the demon village in an environment that advocates frugality.

Zhao Guanshan only participated once and immediately realized that the purpose of this reward was not to give students some pocket money, but mainly for education and teaching.

After walking out of the entrance of the Demon Village and crossing the bright red stitching line again, Zhao Guanshan was still dazed for a moment, but it was much better than when he entered before. "Brother Zhao!"

A fat figure suddenly rushed over, it turned out to be Song Xiaopang.

He seemed to have been waiting impatiently and was so excited to see Zhao Guanshan.

"Brother Zhao, I'm sorry. I was blind before and didn't listen to your advice. But for the sake of our friendship, please forgive me. Next time there is a bounty mission in the Demon Village, please be sure to bring me along."

"Fuck! Who are you?"

Han Erzi pushed Song Xiaopang away, and they realized at this moment that the place was full of people. Could it be that all the students who participated in the Demon Village bounty mission were here?

But then they saw nine huge and clear live broadcast images above their heads, where a team was working together to attack a fourth-level demon.

There are also explanations from Wu Ke teachers.

Wow, it really is like being in a big classroom!
So they were also live-streamed before?

Zhao Guanshan suddenly realized, no wonder Song Xiaopang changed his attitude.

"Everyone, I'm going back first."

After saying that, Zhao Guanshan quickly got rid of Song Xiaopang and squeezed into the crowd. A moment later, he boarded the Wuling train to skip school.

Three big coins are a considerable fortune, but the wealth will not create value if it remains in his hands, and is equivalent to waste to him.

Therefore, it has to be spent quickly.

So, around noon, he appeared again in the workshop that was qualified to sell pharmacies.

"you again!"

The proprietress with a ferocious half face was really surprised, and even subconsciously looked at Zhao Guanshan carefully. This was the third time he came to her door in just a few days. Are liberal arts students so awesome nowadays?
"Excuse me, boss. I'm just running errands to earn some money. This time I'm buying some materials for Shu Mian, a ninth-level martial arts student, and Han Erzi, an eighth-level martial arts student. You see, it's school time now, and only a liberal arts student like me can skip school whenever I want."

"Also, I come here often. Can you give me some discounts, boss? If my purchasing business is booming, you will be happy too."

Zhao Guanshan gave a familiar smile and easily dispelled the proprietress's doubts.

Indeed, with such frequent visits to buy things, it does seem like he is making money by running errands.

But if you want to take kickbacks from me, no way!

"Stop talking nonsense. How much profit can you get from the materials you little bastards bought? It's not worth wasting my breath on."

"Yes Yes."

Zhao Guanshan smiled and skillfully listed the various materials he wanted to buy, and handed over three large coins. The prices had been calculated in advance.

"Boy, after you finish your training, are you interested in working for me?"

The proprietress asked casually while she was processing the matter. After a few contacts, she felt that this boy was quite smart, spoke nicely, and had a handsome appearance. He would be a good waiter.

If he had known better...

"Thank you for your appreciation, shopkeeper. I'm very happy to have you. My name is Zhao Guanshan, and I'm a ninth-level liberal arts student. Please take good care of me when the time comes."

Zhao Guanshan showed ecstasy on his face and bowed repeatedly.

"Very good, you are a ninth-level liberal arts student. You are Zhao Guanshan, right? I will remember you."

The proprietress nodded in satisfaction and gave me a free protective jade box that would expire in seven days.

We are our own people and must be treated with preferential treatment.
