First Batch of Students' Candidates

On the other end of the phone.

Smith was completely dumbfounded!

"Fuck! I called to cause you guys trouble, and in the blink of an eye, you're the one protesting and causing me trouble?"

"You're insane!"

He cursed inwardly, but said coldly, "Second Vice Minister, we are not strangers, and we are very familiar with each other's ways of doing things."

Do you think I'd believe that?!

"Our submarine was just passing through on a mission, but it was attacked by cultivators from your country and has now lost contact with us."

"And cultivators are from your Resident Happiness Living Department. Now, it's your turn to give us an explanation, not for me to do so, and certainly not the time for you to lodge a protest!"

Smith isn't stupid.

Besides, how many times had he dealt with the Resident Happiness Living Department? He knew their "honest and simple" way of doing things, so how could he be so foolish as to suffer a loss and admit defeat?

"Whatever mission you're on, that sea area has always been ours, an inseparable part of us!"

"Besides, cultivators aren't one of our people. How would we know what they've done?"

"You'd better explain now why your country's submarines secretly infiltrated my waters! We need an answer!"

The Second Vice Minister immediately started arguing.

submarine?

What submarine? I haven't seen one!

What? Your soldiers?

What warriors? We haven't seen any! Uh, did the cultivators capture them? Bullshit! Our cultivators went there just to fish.

What? Our warships?

Don't be ridiculous, we don't have any warships. Those are fishing boats, fishing boats!

A trouble-making vehicle?

Hey!

That's utter nonsense. What do you mean, a transport vehicle? Ours are civilian vehicles, used to transport timber, big timber, you know?

In short...

Regardless of what Smith says, the Second Vice Minister only has one response: What the hell? Don't you know? Our territory has been our own since ancient times, and our sovereignty is indisputable! We strongly protest; you need to give us an explanation!

After a lot of wrangling, Smith was completely stumped.

Frustrated, he could only utter a harsh threat. "If you continue to try to fool us and stall, don't blame us for being impolite!"

"Protest! Protest!"

"..."

Snap!

Smith was nearly driven mad with anger when the call ended.

The Second Vice Minister wasn't particularly happy; on the contrary, he remained quite calm. He then looked at the Seventh Vice Minister and asked, "Seventh, could you inform Lin Fan about this?"

"It's better to be safe than sorry. What if they have any follow-up actions..."

"Besides, such a big thing has even surfaced on the sea. We can argue about it, but we can't argue for too long."

"Good!"

Lin·Purple Firmament happened to return to Green Mountain Town again. This time, she came back to think about how to select the first batch of students and the remaining teachers.

As it happened, I received a call from the Seventh Vice Minister and learned about these issues.

Will the people from the Eagle Country do something again?

Lin·Purple Firmament ignored it after hearing it.

When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it!

However, she was quite interested in Biohazard.

"Is there really Biohazard? Is it Raccoon City? Is it the Umbrella Corporation? Is there a tyrant? Where's Alice?"

The Seventh Vice Minister were stunned. "... Huh?"

"... It seems not."

Lin·Purple Firmament sighed softly.

She had seen the Biohazard movie series and thought it was pretty good. She originally thought there was a real Biohazard, but...?

Zombies are quite interesting, though. These things are probably equivalent to super low-level zombies, right?

No, they are not zombies, they don't count, and they don't deserve to be.

So...

Forget it, I can't be bothered with it.

Let's get things settled at the academy first. Ideally, we should get it done within these three days to avoid him having different ideas when he returns...

Lin·Purple Firmament decided to act first and ask questions later.

Starting a school was a spur-of-the-moment idea for her. Whether Lin Fan would support her was uncertain, so she decided to be on the safe side.

The best approach is to act first and report later, so time is relatively tight.

Although she was quite curious about zombies, it wasn't worth wasting her time flying all the way to the Eagle Country to take a look.

Beep beep beep...

The call was disconnected.

The Seventh Vice Minister were speechless for a moment.

"I was going to ask if cultivators had any methods to deal with zombies, sigh..."

At this moment, the internet around the world is in an uproar.

Biohazard!

Zombies have broken out!

This is hell on earth!

Naturally, they were very surprised and panicked.

But... that's how it is.

To say that people around the world were trembling with fear and making all sorts of preparations wouldn't be accurate. For example, in Hua Nation, people were very... calm.

Especially after watching the video of the scene, they became even calmer.

Zombies?

Oh!

That's pretty impressive.

They're way more powerful than the ordinary zombies in movies and TV shows, but... so what? Just a mere zombie... trash!

We have cultivators protecting us, are we proud?

Even if you really have Biohazard, what kind of trouble could a bunch of zombies possibly cause in front of a powerful cultivator?

Whether they can even cross the ocean to "see" us is a question.

After all, it doesn't seem like the entire Eagle Country has been hit by Biohazard, but only on a street in Los Angeles.

There has been no 'epidemic' elsewhere.

Unless it's a sudden global outbreak, these zombies with a known origin... with modern technology, it's not as hopeless as it is in movies and TV shows.

Of course, an exception would be a sudden global outbreak, where a large number of zombies appear within the military, causing its internal collapse.

so.

Calm down, everyone calm down~

Hua Nation remained remarkably calm, with netizens eagerly following the latest developments online.

Although we're not afraid, this is still a rare and major news story, and a very big one at that, so people are naturally paying close attention.

at the same time.

Lin·Purple Firmament was busy considering the selection of teachers and students.

After much thought, she settled on a few.

As for the teachers, they can choose them themselves.

Students have their own set of selection criteria, and of course, they will also select a few people themselves.

First of all, Old Chen is a formation teacher. He can not only set up formations, but also set them up scientifically. He may also be able to use quantum force fields to add details to the formations and make them even more powerful!

Zhou Xiaoran is a cultivation teacher. Her Exquisite Body allow her to see through all things and give her a command of the world.

Zhou Na is a magic teacher, and incidentally also serves as the legal representative and 'security guard', because she seems quite like a warmonger.

The teacher for "preaching" was also chosen, namely the Old Taoist that Lin·Purple Firmament had met in the wilderness of Mount Wuyi.

In Lin·Purple Firmament's view, the Dao Rhyme emanating from him was unmatched by anyone on Earth.

Master of weapon crafting and alchemy...

There is no candidate yet, so the position will remain vacant for now.

As for the selection of students.

Lin·Purple Firmament also confirmed several.

Wang Dong.

This guy was Lin Fan's college roommate, a kind of 'frenemy' and best friend, and Lin Fan had previously promised to introduce him to a girlfriend or something...

Lin·Purple Firmament knew about this, but where did she go to introduce girlfriends to people before?

Now's your chance, isn't it?

If you have the chance, you should always keep your promise to someone.

Moreover, Lin·Purple Firmament had also consulted a divination master, and Wang Dong's cultivation talent was considered to be above average, indicating that he was capable of cultivation.

Since that's the case, then let's accept him as a student, provided that he himself is willing.

In addition, there is Zhou Qi, who is Zhou Na's younger brother.

Zhou Na has already taken the blame as the legal representative, and she also has to work part-time as a security guard and a magic teacher... Let's take her brother as one of the first students, it's a good way to reciprocate and not owe her any favors.

Besides that, there's Wu Guodong.

Old Wu is a bit older, but he's a good person. Besides, he's a policeman, an official. Taking him in is a signal to the authorities so they won't be too anxious.

Moreover, Lao Wu actually has good talent for cultivation and good opportunities. Lin·Purple Firmament had already 'fortune-telling' him about this, so there is naturally no problem.

besides.

Lin·Purple Firmament also plans to select a few wealthy women to take as her students.

It wasn't that she was after their money, but in Lin·Purple Firmament's opinion, several rich women had actually served as her and that guy's tools for a while, and they had been quite good to her and him. Now that she had the chance, it wouldn't hurt to take them along.

As for talent...

Lin·Purple Firmament never told their fortunes.

However, this inevitably brings up the word 'luck'.

A woman, yet she became a billionaire...

Without good fortune, how can one succeed?

Success means they are blessed with good fortune, and this good fortune must be quite strong, otherwise they wouldn't have been so successful.

With such good fortune...

The likelihood of developing the aptitude for cultivation is much greater than that of ordinary people.

If ordinary people are one in a thousand or even one in ten thousand, then these women are perhaps one in two or three.

After all, a net worth of tens of billions... such success is itself a display of 'luck'.

As for which wealthy women to choose for enrollment, Lin·Purple Firmament had a plan in mind, but she still needed to see if the women she wanted to choose had sufficient qualifications.

As for the rest...

Then we have to select them according to the standards and be truly discerning.

For example, applicants must be under thirty years old, possess above-average talent, pass a political background check, and meet certain character criteria...

As for how to choose...

Lin·Purple Firmament also considered it.

If we follow the standards of the holy land, then we must conduct rigorous screening and checks at every level.

The selection of disciples alone involved the use of several Dao artifacts, with each step testing a different aspect, from talent and aptitude to perseverance, temperament, and luck.

But this won't work on Earth; it simply won't.

Therefore, we had no choice but to collaborate with the Resident Happiness Living Department.

They determine some basic information that can be confirmed, such as 'political vetting' and age.

talent?

Gather all the qualified candidates and review them personally! Those who pass will then undergo further evaluation.

Mindset?

Even he himself couldn't see it, but he could make Old Chen set up an illusion array, which contained all sorts of emotions, desires, and vices.

The longer you persist, the better your mindset will naturally become.

After determining the 'standards', Lin·Purple Firmament contacted the Seventh Vice Minister and informed him of the conditions.
