Cultivators at the Wizarding Academy

Chapter 215 The Covetousness of All Parties

The weakening of spatial barriers isn't necessarily all bad. At least traveling to and from other worlds is easier, with lower risks and costs.

Grand Duke Vaghar of the Southern Territory dispatched two of his Saint-level warriors, Lucas and Salman, into the Underworld to collect important strategic resources.

The Netherworld sludge that can be used as a material for resurrection is just one of them.

After a journey of more than a month, the two returned home with a full load of goods.

In addition, the demon invasion incident that had been on my mind has come to a complete end.

After all, the demons have invaded the Southern Territory. If the war were to spread even slightly, the Southern Stone Family's territory would inevitably be severely affected.

In fact, the mere news of it caused a mass exodus of wealthy people from the capital city of Porto, inflicting considerable damage on the economy.

Vaghar should have been in a good mood. However, upon receiving information about the gods, his expression inevitably turned gloomy.

The Nan Shi family and the Blue Rose family are implicitly enemies.

Although there was no open conflict, the top leaders of both sides had already clashed. The result was that the two Saint-level members of the Nan Shi family were instantly killed.

It's obvious without even thinking that it was a superhuman being who made the move!

The battle reports contained shocking figures.

A demon general comparable to a Saint-level expert is utterly powerless before the might of a god.

Invincible!

Any high-ranking officer who sees the battle report will have this thought in mind: the strategic value of one person exceeds that of the entire coalition force.

The Royal Guard, piled high with gold and silver, was nothing more than a dispensable ceremonial guard.

The power of a god is the only true and absolute force!

History has proven this time and again.

Grand Duke Nan Shi paced back and forth in the main hall, his expression conflicted and hesitant. He felt it was too late to make amends now, and it might not be effective, but he had no choice but to do so.

In short, let's send our prettiest girl over to give it a try.

First, show goodwill and promise some compensation in resources. Even if you can't get the seeds, don't become their enemy.

"Summon the Chief Steward and the Advisor Scholar to a meeting." Grand Duke Nan Shi looked at the golden-ringed maid standing beside him.

……

At the opening ceremony of the May ranking battle, hope publicly announced the change in the competition format.

A concrete plan had already been circulating, and this was simply a reiteration of the official confirmation, so no one objected or was surprised.

Furthermore, considering the safety of elite-level combat, the use of inscribed swords is prohibited, and only wooden weapons provided by the school are permitted, a decision that has been widely accepted.

Finally, hope also mentioned the issue of updating the inventory of Breakthrough Pills.

This time, there are 150 pills. The pills are only one-third the size of the previous ones, making them much easier to swallow. The price is 50,000 points per pill, and each person is limited to one pill per month.

A disguised price increase is better than nothing.

Lower prices are bound to attract a wider audience and generate greater consumer enthusiasm.

Almost immediately, people sprang into action. In less than an hour, the inventory was reduced by half.

hope even had the illusion that the products would sell out within a day.

Although it only has one-third the volume, its medicinal effects are more concentrated, and news of breakthroughs in medicine keeps coming in.

In fact, many people were just one step away from achieving their goal. The Breakthrough Pill created a suitable opportunity. As more and more people entered the elite rank, Aglaia and Guts's brilliance naturally faded.

It is widely believed that the Blue Rose family's resources shaped the two's success. People's attitudes shifted from initial shock and inferiority to "it's nothing special, I could do it too."

Perhaps Aglaia is better, after all, she has a record of defeating Hellfire despite being of a higher rank, and she has been the champion twice.

Guts' performance has been mediocre. He was once the second-ranked student in the Warrior Division, and he is still the second-ranked student. His strength is seriously questioned.

"Xiao An, aren't you participating in ranked matches?"

"No! I have something to do..."

Tai'an consciously refrained from competing for resources, as the profits from selling Breakthrough Pills alone were enough to make them extremely wealthy.

Around ten o'clock, he still had to interview workers. He quietly watched the game for a while.

The combat of elite warriors was dazzling. Even using wooden swords couldn't diminish their absolute physical advantage. Their speed was generally more than 50% faster than regular-rank warriors. In some agility-based or rare aura-based individuals, the difference could reach double!

These young elites, all under eighteen, are highly likely to advance even further in the future. With the emergence of more super-level powerhouses, the number of Saint-level powerhouses will inevitably increase accordingly.

The Breakthrough Pill is crucial to the kingdom's future, and it has long been coveted. Various forces and research institutions are racing against time to analyze its materials and composition, striving to create a replica as soon as possible.

Even the Blue Rose family's formidable reputation could not deter those driven by profit!

However, their efforts were doomed to failure.

The reason is that the refining process cannot be widely adopted.

The compression process of the Breakthrough Pill requires at least a super-level of mental energy, and only by following specific methods can it be condensed into a solid state. If the compression process is omitted, the effect will be no different from that of an ordinary tonic soup.

A deafening roar of cheers.

Aglaia easily defeated her opponent to qualify for the next round.

The black-haired girl, wearing a short-sleeved white shirt, calmly faced the gazes of the crowd.

Back in the audience, Aglaia took her coat from her sister.

"Sis! How did you suddenly become so strong? Even boys can't beat you." Alya blinked her clear, big eyes.

"We need to thank the young master for his guidance!" Aglaia bent down and hugged her sister affectionately.

The Blue Rose family's factory's massive recruitment drive was a matter of life and death for the common people in the capital.

After a month of preparation, information regarding the benefits has been widely disseminated. A consistent eight-hour workday, one day off per week, and wages comparable to sweatshop wages. The reputation of the Blue Rose family is also evident to all.

With a recruitment target of up to 20,000 people, the job offers every prospective applicant a high level of expectation and hope.

Mong Kok Park was once again packed with people.

Farrell, the logistics manager in charge of assisting with recruitment, announced two rules.

First, priority will be given to young people under the age of 30; second, priority will be given to long-term employees.

The Blue Rose family's factory is definitely not a retirement home. Since the young master has offered such generous terms, it's natural to have strict requirements and select suitable candidates.

"Young Master!"

Tai'an appeared under the sunshade at some point, and everyone around bowed.

"Let's get started!"

Each group of applicants had to be reviewed by Tai'an, in groups of fifty.

No one knew the young master's criteria for judgment, but it was undeniable that the people he selected had never caused any trouble and were all very useful.

In just two hours, they hired nearly three thousand people, which was actually quite efficient. However, the line of people waiting to apply for jobs kept getting longer and longer.

More and more people came after hearing the news.

"Let's take a break and have lunch!"

Tai'an generously decided to treat everyone present to a free lunch.
