More surprises await Gu Xi than just these rewards.

That refers to the authority within the college, the authority of the Department Head, and so on.

The Department Head's authority is fixed; it doesn't matter who is in charge.

Each Department Head can leave behind an oil painting for themselves. They don't have to be here in person, but they can manage their department through the oil painting.

At the same time, this oil painting is also a door.

The Department Head can directly enter and exit the Mysterious Academy through oil paintings, ensuring that he can maintain both his own growth and control over the department without making any mistakes.

This is just the first step, and the most basic authority, which all Department Head have.

Next, when you reach a position above the Department Head, if your level increases to 5, 10, or 15, you will receive a gift from the Mysterious Academy: a special clone.

This clone will be based on the fundamental skills of the other three academies.

Their rank is equivalent to that of the Department Head, and their profession will be similar to their basic skills.

For example, if the basic skill is Leadership, then the clone is very likely to be a knight; if the basic skill is Luck, then the clone is very likely to be Elf Archer.

However, since the establishment of the Mysterious Academy, there have only been reports of people having obtained two clones while holding positions ranging from Department Head to dean. Gu Xi is the first Department Head below level 5 to have achieved this.

Gu Xi didn't understand much about clones; it was something that only experienced players at level 15 and above would use.

Gu Xi hasn't learned many things yet, so giving him a clone now would really be useless.

However, the only advantage here is that this kind of clone will not take up the number of clone skills in the future.

That's not really bad news.

Of course, the benefits of advancing to the position of Department Head don't stop there. Because you are the Department Head of the Mysterious Academy, when you level up, the skill selection will change from choosing one out of four to choosing two out of five.

That one advantage alone is enough to make everyone's heart flutter.

The third point is naturally the Department Head's authority within the college. As the Department Head, Gu Xi can read all books within the college, including some banned books.

In addition, as long as he is in the academy, Gu Xi can quickly read and improve his skill level by consuming experience.

This is just like the Death Griffon Book that Grand Princess Anna had back then, except that this effect has now become commonplace, Gu Xi can come here to learn it at any time.

This is a good thing for Gu Xi.

Although it's not entirely clear what Grand Princess Anna meant by the hidden profession.

But just by looking at how the hidden professions require Three Divine Skills as a starting point, Gu Xi knew that the skill requirements for various skills later on would not be low.

Among these skills, Active Skill and Class Skill can be improved through methods such as skill grinding.

However, some knowledge-based skills must be learned on your own.

Now that there's a way to gain experience and improve skills, Gu Xi won't miss it.

He has made up his mind that he will come here to read whenever he has time, so as to improve his various skills.

Furthermore, the library within the Mysterious Academy is undoubtedly superior to the library of the Chaoyang Radiance Guild. At the very least, this Mysterious Academy is open to countless worlds; it would be unworthy of its name if it didn't have a collection of books.

These are all rights of the Department Head, which can be obtained simply by sitting in the Department Head's position.

When Karimdo initially intended to sideline Gu Xi, they would retain these three privileges.

Now that Gu Xi has everything in his hands, his authority won't increase.

Conversely, Gu Xi's authority within the academy is something that needs to be fought for.

Apart from the dean, who has full authority within the academy, anyone else, including the Vice-Dean, would have to rely on their connections to use certain privileges.

As the First Department in the academy, Gu Xi Xitian naturally has half of the authority. In addition, with the many neutral faculty members he has won over, his current authority in the academy reaching 63% is not just a figure of speech.

It can be said that within the academy, apart from matters within the other three departments which Gu Xi cannot interfere with, Gu Xi can get involved in everything else.

This is not a simple matter of meddling; Gu Xi can benefit from it.

For example, Gu Xi has priority at the Blacksmith Shop because the blacksmith is his subordinate.

For example, at the Herb Garden, Gu Xi can plant whatever plants he wants, because Herb Garden staff there are also his subordinates.

Unless the dean personally issues the order, Gu Xi's actions are the only orders, and no one can take them away from him.

And the Gu Xi on the allocated funds can also be shared.

Although each subordinate only receives a small amount, when all of them are added together, it becomes a substantial income.

However, Gu Xi's biggest concern right now is not that, but rather that through his access privileges, he knows that there are actually a large number of corpses buried underground in the academy.

These are the corpses of students from the Mysterious Academy when they were lost in time and space.

The students' souls were protected by the faculty, but their bodies were not.

Some bodies were damaged by wind and sun, while others were buried in the earth and, affected by the Death Aura, became various special corpses.

Now that the Mysterious Academy has been rebuilt, the students who were protected by the faculty have been released.

Some of them found their bodies and became undead students, such as Skeleton or Zombie, while others became Ghost because they did not find their bodies.

Another portion, due to the disordered state of their corpses, transformed into enhanced undead, akin to Stitched Monster.

But no matter what, there are always more corpses than students' souls.

After all, there have always been places where the protection of faculty and staff has not been adequate over the years.

So there are still a lot of corpses left.

These corpses were originally intended to be used as building materials.

However, due to Gu Xi's Summoning, the academy followed suit and became associated with the dead.

Resources that were originally intended for style modification can now all be used on buildings.

There was nowhere to go for this part of the corpses.

Gu Xi's subordinates secretly transported the corpses out, intending to give them to Gu Xi.

These corpses contain top-quality goods.

Back when Crocodile Academy was still in existence, many knights came to learn leadership skills.

Among this batch of corpses were at least five hundred knights.

And this is only a small part of it.

The news of these corpses was immediately stopped by Gu Xi's subordinates and friends.

Apart from Gu Xi, no one else would know about this.

This is the benefit of high privileges.

It's fair to say that Gu Xi really made a killing this time.
