It was close to evening, and the setting sun was like blood.
The afterglow shone on the academy, and more than fifty students sat upright. On the stage, the academy elder was reading out the names one by one, distributing the allowance.
This was the Yuan stone allowance that the academy gave out every seven days, as a form of financial aid for these youths. After all, with their strength, to feed their own Gu worms was a huge financial burden.
"Guyue, Fang Yuan." The elder read.
Fang Yuan stood up from the last row by the window, walking up to the stage and receiving the two money bags.
In one bag, there were three Yuan stones as the clan allowance. The other bag had ten Yuan stones as a reward.
"Work hard." The elder looked deeply at Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan had obtained first place twice in a row, causing the clan elder who was originally disappointed to start paying some attention to him.
Fang Yuan nodded, keeping the money bags and returning to his seat.
"Damn it, he took first place again …" Guyue Mo Chen stared at Fang Yuan, feeling indignant.
"Those two moonblades hit the puppet's neck consecutively, is this his dog shit luck or his true strength?" Guyue Mo Chen squinted his eyes. From the end of the exam until now, this question had been lingering in his heart.
Not only him, but many of the students' gazes either intentionally or unintentionally drifted towards Fang Yuan.
This question tormented them. Even though they had lost, they were still unwilling and wanted to get to the bottom of it.
When it was about to end, the academy elder announced something, "You have all been in the academy for some time now, and are familiar with the usage of the vital Gu. In the following days, I will teach you how to nurture your aperture and raise your Gu Master's cultivation realm. The higher the Gu Master's realm, the more condensed their primeval essence. Rank one Gu Masters have green copper primeval essence, Rank two Gu Masters have red iron primeval essence, and Rank three Gu Masters have white silver primeval essence. One portion of red iron primeval essence is equivalent to ten portions of green copper primeval essence. Similarly, one portion of white silver primeval essence is equivalent to ten portions of red iron primeval essence! "
"You have to remember, Gu worms are just tools we use, cultivation is the foundation of us Gu Masters. The higher the cultivation, the stronger the Gu worm. In the following three months, whoever could advance to Rank one middle stage first would be rewarded with thirty Yuan stones, and would also have the right to choose the second Gu worm. Three months later, we will appoint a class monitor and two deputy class monitors based on the results. Yuan stone allowance will be 10 Yuan stone allowance for the class monitor, and Yuan stone allowance for the vice class monitor will be increased to 5 Yuan stones! Alright, that's all for today. Everyone, disperse. "
The elder's words caused the entire academy to buzz.
"They're going to appoint a class monitor and deputy class monitor!" Someone excitedly clenched his fist.
"The monitor gets ten Yuan stone every seven days, and the deputy monitor gets five? If I can be the first to advance to the middle stage of the first job transition, I will definitely become the chairman. "Someone's eyes shone brightly.
"Yuan stone is not the main point. The main point is that the positions of class monitor and deputy monitor represent glory, and their statuses are above everyone else. When ordinary students see the class monitor, they have to bow and greet him. "Guyue Mobei, Chicheng and the rest did not lack Yuan stone, but they valued this glory very much.
"Becoming the class monitor, that's right, being the first to advance to the middle stage of the first job transition! Let big brother bow and greet me when he sees me in the future. Wait, where's big brother? "Guyue Fangzheng subconsciously looked back, but Fang Yuan's seat was already empty.
The students walked out of the academy one after another.
"Guyue, where's Fang Yuan?" Guyue Mobei wanted to find Fang Yuan and ask him face to face. But Fang Yuan had already left a step earlier.
"Hmph, he ran pretty fast. Is he afraid? Looks like he got lucky again in today's assessment. "Guyue Cheng sneered.
"Forget it, it's just a reward of ten Yuan stone, there's no need to care about this. The most important thing now is to advance to the middle stage and get the position of the class monitor." Guyue Mobei squinted his eyes, looking at Guyue Cheng and Guyue Fangzheng beside him.
These two were his real opponents. As for Fang Yuan, he was just a C grade talent, he was not enough.
"The first two assessments, Fang Yuan was lucky enough to get first place. But this time's assessment only focuses on cultivation talent. If one's talent is one grade higher, the advantage is huge. " Guyue Cheng felt depressed. His real talent was only C grade, it was only because he cheated that he gave the false impression of being B grade.
"A position of the class monitor and two positions of the vice class monitor are enough to make them rub their fists. What a hot-blooded and naive age. "Fang Yuan leaned against the entrance of the academy, laughing coldly in his heart.
The so-called glory was just a value tool used by the superior to motivate the subordinates. In the end, it was just a layer of illusory halo, what use was it?
With 500 years of life experience, Fang Yuan had long understood the mystery behind it.
"Whether it's a family, a sect, or a demonic cult, whether it's this world or Earth, any organization is the same. Setting up a high and low position, clearly defining the promotion method, allows the people in the organization to continuously climb up from a low position. Because it's human nature to chase after profits, and power often gives people the illusion that they are superior to others, that their lives are more valuable than others. "
"The word 'power' is like a carrot dangling in front of a donkey. People are stimulated by it, one after another, trying to curry favor. After climbing up a level, there's an even higher level. Little do they know, in the process of currying favor, their labor is squeezed, and the value they produce is exploited by the superior. "
"All organizations, as long as they have a subordinate relationship, serve the superior. The so-called class monitor and vice class monitor are the smallest carrot, luring others into the family system. And in order to prevent the inferior from seeing through this truth, the superior often unifies the values, clearly defining the concepts of glory, merit, and so on, setting up high and low positions, unequal benefits, or using religion to rule the hearts of people. "
"This is the truth, but unfortunately, most people in the world don't understand, foolishly working hard for others. And all the organizations in the world, the most fundamental essence is only one, and that is — — the redistribution of resources. The higher the level, the more resources they can enjoy. "
In his previous life, Fang Yuan founded the Blood Wing Demonic Cult in the Central Continent, teaching tens of thousands of people. He also set up the positions of Demonic Soldier, Demonic General, Demonic General, and so on, and gave corresponding benefits, causing countless people to flock to them and be ordered around by Fang Yuan. This kind of experience allowed him to have a clear understanding of the Dao.
"So, any organization is just a facade, the real foundation is only one word — — resources. Without resources to eat, they will starve to death. Without resources to drink, they will die of thirst. Without resources to cultivate, they will be weak, and sooner or later, they will be bullied to death. "
"And Yuan stone is the most important resource for a Gu Master's cultivation!" Fang Yuan's eyes were as deep as a serene lake. Thinking of this, the corner of his mouth curled up, forming a cold smile.
He had left the academy early, and now stood at the academy's entrance, seeing the first batch of students walking out, gradually approaching him.
"It's Fang Yuan."
"What is he doing blocking the entrance?"
"Hmph, every time I see him like this, I get annoyed."
"Don't mind him, he's probably waiting for someone."
The youngsters did not mind, and just as they were about to walk over, Fang Yuan took a step forward, blocking them, "This is a robbery. Everyone hand over a piece of Yuan stone, and you can leave. "
