Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 512 The Sect's Decision
"You need some reason, right? At least a logically consistent hypothesis?"

The reason is—

Wang Qiqing smiled and raised his chin again, saying, "What if the process of those 'ancient gods' coming to Blue Star was reversible and free?"
"If those so-called ancient gods really came to Blue Star, there's no reason why they could only come once, right? Or rather, if α can go from Blue Star to the Ruins of Return, it can also come from the Ruins of Return to Blue Star. It's impossible that this process is only one-way."
"Besides, didn't Alpha say that she could have returned to Earth but gave up the opportunity? Based on this, can we infer that the 'Ancient Gods' who are even more powerful than Alpha can also freely travel between the two worlds?"

Some people still disagree with Wang Qiqing's hypothesis, questioning, "If those 'ancient gods' can freely travel between the two worlds, where are they now?"

Wang Qiqing spread his hands in a very shameless manner: "How would I know! I'm just proposing a theory, and this theory can be proven or disproven by simply replicating some research equipment in the Guixu Realm and comparing the genes of humans in the Guixu Realm and humans on Blue Star!"

That's true, but this method still can't solve the problem immediately. Several professors nearby couldn't help but complain, "It's still a long way off. Right now, we can't even replicate the most primitive computers. It will take at least three to five years before all the modern large-scale research equipment is available!"

But some people brought the increasingly off-topic topic back on track: "Alright, let's leave the research on human origins for a separate project later. Today, let's mainly discuss the education of other races!"

This issue sparked a lot of discussion.

"Personally, I don't think it's appropriate for us to take over completely... After all, the speculation about this game on the internet is getting more and more outrageous, so it's better for the project team to be more conservative."

"That's right. If we don't plan to open up the Guixu Realm in the short term, we should be more conservative."

……

After a long discussion, Aunt Wang concluded: "Let me summarize what we should do in this regard."

"First, we must adjust the enrollment and education model of Central Continent University as soon as possible, at least to achieve a relatively fair standard for all intelligent races."

"Secondly, we will strongly support players with relevant ideas and creativity. For example, the player named 'Handsome Guy' that Director Li recorded was the one who first proposed this idea. Moreover, he has a 'Spiritual Tiger'—that is, a tiger demon's apprentice. Whether it is building an educational system or conducting subsequent tests, he has a relative advantage. The project team is considering a non-recruitment approach, with in-game tasks to guide the process, thereby promoting the construction and improvement of an inclusive educational system among the public..."

"After all, the China Project Team can help them temporarily, but it can't consider every little detail. The project team would be more happy to see emerging industries and fields created by vigorously supporting grassroots creativity and stimulating changes in supply and demand among the people."

"As for the expenses, let's discuss this with Sect Master Fang again and see if we can allocate funds in the name of the Taiyin Sect. After all, it's indeed a bit difficult to ask spirited animals, that is, newly mutated demon cultivators, to pay for tuition. The construction of this kind of basic education system should definitely be based on a public welfare nature..."

After finally waiting until the second day, [Handsome Guy] couldn't even wait until the afternoon to leave work. Instead, he just grabbed a quick bite at noon and rushed to an internet cafe downstairs from the company, where he immediately crawled into the gaming pod.

Upon logging in, I noticed that the golden hidden quest had changed—

【百年大计，教育为本】：【经过讨论，宗门里对你的想法高度重视，李长老邀请你于下午13:00-17:00、19:00-22:00间至太阴殿中商议细节……（奖励：20000Exp、3000点门派贡献值、3000点门派威望值、限定神秘道具）】

It was midday, and a weekday, so there weren't many people online. However, there was still almost half an hour until 1 p.m., which made [Handsome Guy] quite conflicted.

However, the Chinese family always believes in "since we're already here," and he rarely comes to an internet cafe, so he's already paid for it and can't just log in and then leave.

So, [Handsome Guy] decided to go and walk through the storyline first, since he didn't check in until 2 PM, and there was plenty of time.

Unexpectedly, upon entering the Taiyin Palace, I saw that Elder Li was still queuing up. Although this game has a time difference, noon in the capital of Earth is roughly the same as morning in Zhongzhou. Usually, NPCs would be having breakfast at this time, and there would only be a few NPCs on "duty". But today, there were a rare group of about ten, which is about the same as when there are usually more players!
Before the handsome young man could even decide whether to queue up or go over and ask about the mission directly, Elder Li happened to look up, saw him, and immediately waved him over, sending him a telepathic message.

Then, Elder Li called over another elder, handed over the "work," and then left the Taiyin Palace with [Handsome Guy] amidst the envious gazes of the other players.

The two soon arrived at a side hall, where there were actually many "sofas" that combined modern style with the architectural decorations of the Taiyin Sect, and they were even soft fabric sofas!
However, all of these sofas are single, with carved wooden tables placed between each pair, and a "Longshan" brand water dispenser stands at the entrance of the hall!

This water dispenser is similar in use to the modern instant hot water dispensers on Earth, but the principles are completely different. The water is also bottled, but not in plastic containers like those on Earth; it's made of a composite metal – similar to plastic but lighter and more expensive. The deposit for just the bottle alone is two yuan (two spirit stones). Ordinary families definitely can't afford it; only a select few wealthy players would have one at home. Even [Handsome Guy] himself hasn't been willing to order one!
However, what [Handsome Guy] didn't expect was that the layout of the Taiyin Sect was so "up-to-date"!
As Elder Li led the handsome young man into the side hall, he gestured for him to sit down, and then poured him a cup of water with a smile before speaking:

"Hey handsome, the elders in our sect discussed this yesterday, and the sect strongly supports it. In accordance with Sect Master Fang's instructions and the sect's decision, we can allocate funds for this project every month. Of course, these funds must be used for their designated purpose. The sect will send a manager to help with the finances. I hope you can understand."

This strange yet friendly style made [Handsome Guy] feel both odd and familiar for a moment. He didn't have time to think too much and just nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I understand, I understand. The fact that the sect is willing to allocate funds is already a pleasant surprise for me!"
