12: Tactical University Special Recruitment! Make a fortune!

Ever since the news of Ye Ze's first clear of the Newbie Dungeon on Hell difficulty spread,

the quickest to react were the reporters.

Most of them were from local newspapers like "Lin Yuan City Daily," "Professional News," and so on.

In the environment of Blue Star, where external enemies lurk and there's a strong sense of crisis,

the emergence of a genius like this is the content reporters love to cover the most!

"Congratulations, Ye Ze. Can you tell us how you feel after achieving the first clear of Hell difficulty?"

"As someone from the ordinary class who switched to a Summoner, have you discovered a new way to play the profession?"

"We heard you challenged Hell difficulty because of a bet, is that true?"

"..."

Over ten reporters, accompanied by an even greater number of photographers, practically surrounded Ye Ze, making it impossible for him to escape.

This was the first time he felt:

Being famous was such a terrifying thing!

However, none of the students watching felt that way.

Beyond the circle of reporters, students from both the Elite Class and ordinary classes looked on with varying degrees of envy in their eyes.

What a great opportunity to become famous!

These reporters received military subsidies and were managed by the military; no matter how wealthy a family was, it was incredibly difficult to get any reporter to conduct a dedicated interview.

Yet now, over a dozen media outlets were simultaneously interviewing one person!

Even if his college entrance exam results weren't ideal later, with this level of fame, he could still become an internet celebrity!

At least he wouldn't have to worry about making a living anymore...

Before Ye Ze could speak, a young man in a formal suit suddenly rushed over.

Seeing his uniform, everyone was surprised:

"Someone from East China Tactical University?"

"Which university is that? I've never heard of it!"

"It's a university specifically for training tactical and command talents. Students with this kind of tactical specialization are only equipped in high-end professional teams!"

"Holy cow! Then he's here to..."

As everyone was discussing, the formally dressed young man walked up to Ye Ze.

He said with a smile, "Ye Ze, I am a recruitment Teacher from East China Tactical University."

"May I ask, have you self-studied tactical specialization?"

There was only one tactical specialization university in all of East China, but its recruitment Teachers were spread across various cities, precisely to discover talent as quickly as possible.

From his perspective, a student from an ordinary class who achieved the first clear of a Hell difficulty dungeon... what other reason could there be?

It must be tactics!

Isn't it normal for our tactical group to defeat the strong with the weak!

The recruitment Teacher thought so...

In fact, there had been such tactical geniuses before.

Someone once caused a monster riot and infighting in a Nightmare Dungeon, then was specially recruited by the Tactical University after easily clearing it.

But Ye Ze's face was full of question marks.

Tactics?

He had indeed learned about tactical specialization... it involved multi-faceted combat analysis and tactical construction for battlefields, professionals, and enemies, playing a huge role in high-end combat.

But he recalled the dungeon content...

Charging head-on, killing every monster he saw. He wondered if his actions counted as tactics?

So he shook his head and said, "No, I haven't studied tactics."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the recruitment Teacher was not disappointed but instead beamed with joy!

A genius!

He hadn't studied tactics, yet he could instinctively operate and clear a Hell dungeon by defeating the strong with the weak...

If this isn't a tactical genius, what is?

If he were to receive systematic tactical guidance, the future of N/A would gain another tactical grandmaster!

He was radiant with joy and exclaimed, "Excellent! Excellent! Ye Ze!"

"As long as you participate in an assessment with me, I can specially recruit you into East China Tactical University!"

"And provide you with excellent freshman subsidies!"

Upon hearing this, all the students present instantly erupted!

Special recruitment? And excellent student subsidies!

Last year, fewer than three people in the entire Lin Yuan City received such treatment!

"Holy cow, this is too awesome!"

"What East China Tactical University, special recruitment already? It must be a diploma mill!"

"There are only five tactical specialization universities in the entire country, and East China Tactical ranks second. You call that a diploma mill?"

"If you can clear a Hell dungeon with tactics, you can also be specially recruited!"

"If I could be specially recruited, my dad would at least have to treat everyone in the city to a promotion feast, and even the stray cats in the city would get their own table!"

"..."

If achieving the first clear of the dungeon was still acceptable to the students,

then being specially recruited by the Tactical University was truly a bit much to stomach!

Especially Zhao Xuan in the crowd, whose eyes were frighteningly red with envy.

But facing the invitation from a top tactical university, which made everyone envious, Ye Ze shook his head:

"Sorry, I have no intention of entering a tactical specialization."

With Ye Ze's knowledge from his previous life, although he had the ability to become a tactician, he preferred the thrill of combat...

Moreover, how could he level up and draw attributes without fighting?

Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd's emotions became complex.

However, more than anything, there was shock: He can refuse even this? Ye Ze is a ruthless person!

The recruitment Teacher, meanwhile, began to ponder:

Why would such a tactical genius be so stubborn?

However, he didn't give up, because he knew Ye Ze was from the ordinary class and was a Summoner!

How could such a combination pass the college entrance exam?

Perhaps the real opportunity to recruit him would come after he failed his college entrance exam!

The recruitment Teacher nodded, "Alright, this is my business card. Feel free to contact me if you change your mind!"

After he finished speaking, he prepared to go back and quickly contact the school leadership.

He had to recruit him quickly after the college entrance exam, lest he be lured away by other tactical universities!

At this moment, Vice Principal Zhou Wei of the academy became anxious.

If Ye Ze were specially recruited, that would be an achievement for the academy; how could he refuse!

Zhou Wei immediately stepped forward and righteously declared in front of all the reporters:

"Ahem, Ye Ze, with your profession and abilities, perhaps the Tactical University is more suitable for you!"

He put on an appearance of earnest guidance.

But Ye Ze glanced at him and ignored him, saying, "Who are you?"

He had absolutely no good impression of this Vice Principal.

His abilities in terms of personal level, career planning for students, and so on, were almost zero.

He had managed to stay in his position until now only by hogging the limelight, claiming credit, and blindly favoring the Elite Class...

He was very much like some workplace parasites from his previous life.

Seeing Ye Ze show no respect in front of the reporters, the Vice Principal's expression stiffened, but he still forced a smile:

"Ahem, I am Vice Principal Zhou Wei..."

"Oh..." Ye Ze seemed to realize, saying:

"Then, for my first clear of the Hell dungeon, which set a record for the academy, the Vice Principal should have a reward, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wei seemed to choke.

There was no regulation that a reward must be given for the Newbie Dungeon record, and he had originally planned to just gloss over it.

But now, with reporters present and under everyone's watchful eyes, he could only change his tune:

"Of course..."

"That's good!"

Getting this answer, Ye Ze was somewhat satisfied, but he didn't plan to waste any more time here and simply slipped away.

However, a notarization robot shaped like a penguin stopped him.

It projected a bet settlement screen and announced:

"[Bet concluded!]"

"[Zhao Xuan, dungeon time: 29 minutes 36 seconds, result: Failure.]"

"[Ye Ze, dungeon time: 2 hours 13 minutes, result: Clear!]"

"[Bet result: Ye Ze wins!]"

"[You have received the opponent's wager: A silver savings card worth 2.37 million.]"

Ye Ze took the card, overjoyed.

2.37 million!

When Zhao Xuan threw out the wager, he only said the card contained at least 2 million.

Unexpectedly, there was a full 370,000 more; indeed, rich families don't treat money like money!

He wondered if he would try to get the extra back...

Of course, Zhao Xuan probably wouldn't dare to show his face again.

As expected, upon hearing the notarization robot confirm the bet,

the reporters, like sharks smelling blood, frantically began searching for Zhao Xuan in the crowd:

"Zhao Xuan? The young master of Zhao Corporation, where is he?"

"This is the first time in history that a bet between the Elite Class and the ordinary class has failed. Zhao Xuan, what are your thoughts?"

"Where do you think you lost..."

At this moment, how could Zhao Xuan have the face to answer reporters' questions?

With this group of reporters present, anything he said would surely lead to a complete loss of face.

He had originally prepared to say some harsh words, but he left without looking back, and the Ms. Secretary from Zhao also departed with him.

After the Ms. Secretary received instructions from Chairman Zhao,

she had been prepared to do whatever it took, even grovel, to win Ye Ze back.

But now, with reporters present, no matter how many tricks she had up her sleeve, she couldn't use them, so she could only leave in a hurry.

...

Ye Ze took the opportunity to disappear into the crowd as well.

He headed straight for Liu Boyan's office.

Besides delivering the good news, he also wanted to prepare for his next steps before the college entrance exam!
