"Third, we have prepared a flower shop for you at the entrance of Modu University; this is a gift.
Additionally, Principal Yang mentioned that he has a small villa at the school where you can stay temporarily after you enter Modu University.
Fourth, I have applied for an invitation letter to the High School Affiliated with Modu University for you. With this invitation, one can attend the High School Affiliated with Modu Ability University.
These are all the conditions we are offering."
Su Mu's gaze froze. These last two conditions were less for him and more for Sister Leng Jing and Lin Ruoxi.
Now Su Mu understood why Director He Kui had first clarified that there was no ill intent.
It turned out that by "investigating his background," he meant investigating the people around him.
However, Su Mu didn't feel offended; instead, he felt a bit moved.
To recruit him, it could be said that Modu University had considered every aspect completely.
"Thank you, Teacher He!"
Su Mu bowed to Director He Kui.
One should never forget a kindness received.
Just when Director He Kui thought he had successfully recruited Su Mu,
Su Mu raised a question.
"Teacher He, I want to ask, does Modu Ability University have opportunities to hunt ferocious beasts?"
Director He Kui's heart skipped a beat, but he relaxed after hearing Su Mu's words.
"Don't worry about that. Every Ability University has a dedicated train line leading to the Ferocious Beast Zones.
After all, Ability Universities aren't meant to cultivate ivory-tower useless people who only know how to talk about strategy on paper.
Even if you don't want to hunt ferocious beasts, the school has mandatory quotas."
Now Su Mu was completely at ease.
Sister Leng Jing and little sister Ruoxi were anxious about Su Mu's departure, and Su Mu felt the same.
The two closest people to him in this world were this one sister and one little sister.
"Teacher He, I choose to join Modu Ability University!"
Director He Kui was very happy; this recruitment could be said to be very successful.
In terms of money, Modu Ability University gave the least, but they were the most sincere.
Compared to Kyoto University, the scholarship plus equipment resources would definitely exceed 30 million.
But on Modu University's side, the most expensive thing was likely the flower shop at the entrance of Modu Ability University.
Yet it certainly couldn't compare to Kyoto University's conditions.
Of course, some conditions weren't paid for by the school's finances.
For example, the Principal taking a disciple!
It could be said that Director He Kui's success this time was due to the right time, the right place, and the right people.
The two of them returned to the principal's office together, Director He Kui smiling.
Su Mu looked up slightly, glancing at the teachers in the room.
He bowed slightly and said, "I choose Modu Ability University."
In fact, the teachers present were all shrewd; seeing the smile on Director He Kui's face, they understood the matter was settled.
But hearing Su Mu's words, some couldn't help but sigh.
Next, Su Mu signed the recruitment agreement with Modu Ability University.
The recruitment agreement detailed the conditions, but it didn't include the clause about the invitation letter to the High School Affiliated with Modu Ability University.
Director He Kui had just said that such conditions were not suitable to be written in the agreement, so the invitation letter had already been given to Su Mu.
Next, the principal of Jianglan No. 1 Middle School prepared to invite the teachers to tour the school.
However, the recruitment teachers' interest wasn't high; they just took a brief look and then all left.
They hadn't come to Jianglan City just to recruit Su Mu.
Suburbs of Jianglan City.
On the temple gate, large gold-leafed characters read—
—Luohan Temple.
Several expensive luxury cars were parked in front of the temple.
Those who didn't know would think some nouveau riche had come to the temple to fulfill a vow.
At this moment, several university recruitment teachers were counting the Arhats in the Luohan Hall.
Then they went to the side to draw a fortune stick.
Jianglan City's Luohan Temple was famous for its efficacy, even though this group had come here to find the Little Monk Luo Zhenyue.
But they couldn't just say it upon entering.
It's like if you go to a small convenience store to change money, they likely won't pay attention to you.
But if you buy a bottle of water or a pack of cigarettes while you're at it, they'll smile and give you change.
Moreover, the abbot of Luohan Temple was Master Juekong.
A former Rank Eight expert, and even more, a former Fist Saint.
Although all his strength was gone now, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse.
No one dared to act arrogant in Luohan Temple.
After very piously finishing their prayers, they came to the backyard of Luohan Temple.
After all, Luohan Temple was full of martial monks, and the temple's backyard was filled with things for training fist techniques.
On the wooden stake formation, the Little Monk Luo Zhenyue was holding a horse stance.
His upper body was bare; the June weather was indeed a bit hot.
Sweat dripped drop by drop from his chin.
Suddenly, a kind yet deep voice came from the room.
"Yuanjing! Come in!"
Yuanjing was Luo Zhenyue's dharma name; within the temple, he was always called by this name.
The Little Monk landed on the ground with a somersault and then walked into the room.
Just like when recruiting Su Mu, the teachers from several Ability Universities took turns stating their schools' conditions.
This time, the conditions weren't as intense as when recruiting Su Mu; the conditions of most schools weren't very different.
A 1-million-yuan enrollment reward, a set of C-rank equipment, plus some other resources.
Reality was like this, just like an auction.
People wouldn't offer a price far exceeding the value of the item.
Unless the item was unique.
Clearly, the Little Monk Luo Zhenyue hadn't reached that level yet.
Although he was also excellent and was the last disciple of the former Fist Saint, there were still quite a few candidates at his level across the country.
Just as the recruitment teachers were waiting for Luo Zhenyue to make a choice,
Luo Zhenyue bowed and asked,
"Amitabha! May I ask the teachers, which university did Su Mu enter?"
The recruitment teachers' expressions varied, but only Director He Kui had a smile on his face.
"Student Su Mu chose our Modu Ability University."
The Little Monk Luo Zhenyue looked at Master Juekong.
He bowed to Master Juekong and said,
"Master, I want to choose Modu Ability University."
Master Juekong's expression remained kind, as if he didn't care which university his young disciple chose.
Director He Kui was ecstatic!
It was like a buy-one-get-one-free deal, and judging solely by the conditions offered...
The conditions he offered were inferior to those of the other schools.
But he still successfully recruited him!
The teachers from the other universities sensibly left the backyard.
Some recruitment teachers left directly, while others walked back to the Luohan Hall.
"Master Juekong! Then we will sign the agreement with Master Yuanjing according to the normal process."
"Amitabha, that is fine!"
Soon, the two of them signed the recruitment agreement.
Director He Kui tucked away the documents and prepared to take his leave; he had completed both recruitment targets for this trip to Jianglan.
He could return to Modu Ability University to preside over this year's overall recruitment; after all, as the recruitment director, this was his busiest time.
Director He Kui bowed to leave. "Master, I shall take my leave then!"
"Amitabha! Please give my regards to Spear Saint Yang!"
Master Juekong bowed to Director He Kui, his expression still kind.
"Master, I want to enter Modu University and then find Student Su Mu for another fight.
I'm sure I can beat him."
"Amitabha! Those who have left the secular world should not be competitive. You only need to be true to your heart."
Then, eyes that seemed to be constantly half-closed opened slightly, as if they could see the future.
"Both you and he are the future of the human race; just follow your heart."
