Huang Cao handed Anma a project proposal that he had compiled.

"I plan to set up a material base station at the center of Sami, which requires cutting down a certain amount of forest."

Anma glanced at the numbers on the proposal and immediately became restless.

This isn't a fixed amount of forest; they're clearly aiming to cut down all the trees on the mountain.

"There's no way around it; development always comes with sacrifices. This is the first lesson I'm going to teach you."

At first glance, the proposal does seem to involve a lot of tree felling, but its advantage is that it integrates everything into one place, greatly improving the efficiency of equipment utilization.

If logistics stations are distributed to various parts of Sami, each place will need to set up a new area to store these items, as stations require a certain amount of space to operate.

However, these areas do not always decrease as the volume of goods increases, because at least a minimum working area is required.

The more you divide the work area, the larger the total working area required. However, if you concentrate all the goods at one site and all the machines can share that working area, you will actually cut down fewer trees.

After conveying this concept to Anma, the latter fell silent, as He truly knew little about governing a country.

Having lived on this land for over a thousand years, Anma spent most of his time imparting his divine teachings in a mystical manner.

"I need you to drive all the wildlife in this area to other places. I don't want to hunt them myself, but my men will provide food along the way to help them migrate."

As the Beast Lord who embodies countless living beings, Anma loves all life on this land.

He would weep for the Horned Beast whose heart was pierced by a hunter's arrow, and he would also grieve for the humans swallowed by the wind and snow.

The passing of any life is a tragedy in His eyes.

But the laws of nature are just like this, and even He cannot change them.

Huang Cao took the Beast Lord's feelings into full consideration, which is why he prioritized the project of building a nature reserve.

Cooperation leads to mutual benefit. Since you respect me, I will certainly do my best to satisfy you.

Huang Cao has always personally practiced this.

"Furthermore, as the spiritual symbol of the entire nation, you must also learn some management knowledge. At the very least, you need basic discernment when facing the Sami, whose economy and culture have been greatly strengthened."

The reason Anma can slack off in its management now is simply because most of the Sami region is under a tribal system.

A cloud of mist gathered between the two horns on Anma's head, and then a large, snow-white question mark appeared.

Huang Cao's lips curled into a cruel smile. "You don't really want to pin all of Sami's blame on me, do you? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

This Beast Lord has far greater control over Sami than Utopia; he can not only mobilize abilities but also command various wild creatures.

Those who know, know how powerful the wildlife on Terra's land is.

Crabs that even tanks might not be able to penetrate can dig out sandworms that stretch for more than ten kilometers in just a few dozen seconds.

Look at the things in the life-giving calculation; they are all extraordinary.

Some wild animals are even harder to hunt than those from the Inner Guards, and they can even temporarily alter the weather.

Many of the soldiers' losses during the construction of Utopia were due to dealing with these ferocious wild animals.

As the Beast Lord of the Sami, Anma's long-term protection has made him an integral part of every aspect of the country, safeguarding all life from the invasion of Demons.

Therefore, He can command all living beings in this country, and if used properly, Utopia can save a great deal of effort.

So Anma needs to catch up on her studies and can't keep slacking off.

He had long since become a part of the Sami, and for his own sake and for the sake of the creatures he loved, he had to strive to learn no matter what.

"Starting today, you'll stay by my side as my secretary. Do whatever I tell you to do for six months. It would be best if you're willing to take on this responsibility after six months, but I won't force you if you don't mind."

Anma nodded blankly, and then Huang Cao took out a thick exam paper from the drawer.

"By the way, can you read?"

"I have spoken with many priests for a long time, so I naturally know the Sami script."

"That's good. Finish this test first, so I can see just how much knowledge you actually have."

There's no time like the present, let's start doing the questions now!

Rinshi silently stepped aside, holding the IV drip, afraid of being captured by Master Huang and forced to work as a slave.

Chapter 524: Seriously Improve the Beast Lord's Education Level!

"I understand the trigonometric theorems, but what are sine and cosine functions? Why are there so many strange-looking symbols? And what do degrees mean? Do they represent temperature?"

"Why do we need to use derivatives to solve this? Are derivatives some kind of magical Originium Arts?"

A single exam paper can reveal the full spectrum of human experience.

Anma had never imagined that human society could contain such complex creations.

Isn't mathematics just addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division? Why are there so many strange variations?

I have learned trigonometric theorems, but what the heck are these functions?

It can only be said that the Beast Lord is like this: having absorbed the souls of countless deer, He still cannot understand human mathematics; for at least thousands of years, He has only grasped a little bit.

When Anma wrote her first exam paper, she immediately asked for help from outside the exam room.

Rinshi could solve most of the questions on this exam, but she couldn't handle anything more advanced.

Moreover, with Master Huang watching from the side, he couldn't offer any hints whatsoever.

So this exam paper, which was a full thirty pages long, was completed after a night of torment.

Anma achieved a score of 80 out of 400 on the test.

A large portion of them relied entirely on guessing from multiple-choice questions.

The test paper provided by Huang Cao was almost as difficult as the first year of high school in Utopia, and it also removed a lot of content about foreign countries.

In the humanities section, it was basically a combination of local history and politics. Anma scored the highest in the essay, getting a high score of 4 or 6 out of 50.

This level of specialization made Master Huang exclaim that this was still a humanities-oriented Beast Lord, but unfortunately, Master Huang wanted a well-rounded warrior.

"Your grades aren't very good. It seems you need to catch up on your studies."

Anma's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets; he marveled inwardly at how wondrous humans truly were.

We haven't figured out such profound things in thousands of years. Some mathematical concepts and theorems are even the creations of human geniuses in just one afternoon.

But do I really need to learn it?

Rinshi swallowed hard, patting Anma's fair back reassuringly, "Don't worry, these aren't too difficult."

"Miss Cyclops, have you studied this as well?"

"When the Cyclops left Kazdel, my homeland was still at war, so I was all self-taught, and strictly speaking, I'm not very knowledgeable about anything that advanced."

Rinshi's Originium Arts are extremely powerful. Theoretically speaking, the better a caster is at mathematics, the greater the destruction they can cause, and this is especially true for a descendant of the Cyclops.

However, the power in her bloodline is enough for Rinshi to deal with most of the dangers in this world, so she was able to achieve a level of Originium Arts that ordinary people could not reach in their entire lives right after she was born.

Therefore, there's no need to rely too much on math and physics knowledge. Just make sure one of those is sufficient, and the rest depends entirely on your physical strength and the power of your genes.

However, Rinshi's academic qualifications are comparable to those of an average high school student in Utopia, and at least better Anma's.

"So you both know the situation. A leader who isn't very wise can't govern the entire Sami. Good politics can indeed govern the whole country well, but Equilibrium development is more conducive to the decision-makers in power."

Seeing that neither of them dared to say anything, Huang Cao smoothly distributed her teaching tasks.

Rinshi's study tasks were only one-tenth of Anma's, and she passed them in just half a month.

However, the latter's learning tasks were not unbearably heavy. Master Huang cultivated well-rounded talents, but not top-notch talents.

At least when faced with proposals submitted by his subordinates, he needed to have a basic ability to discern the truth; the rest was left to Master Huang's officials to handle.

The officials of Utopia were responsible for assisting Anma in transforming the environment and society of the Sami. As the Beast Lord, He understood the Sami far better than the officials of Utopia.

Sometimes, even though the officials in Utopia have good intentions, they inevitably come up with some unrealistic views along the way. Anma is responsible for communicating with these people and addressing their shortcomings.

With the help of Anma, Huang Cao's follow-up work could proceed quickly, and any mistakes could be corrected in time before things escalated.

He hadn't yet figured out how to completely control this medium.

Over the next few months, Anma immersed herself in the ocean of knowledge, and thanks to her Terra Superman physique, she didn't need to rest.

Through continuous learning, the Beast Lord's brain began to develop wrinkles, gradually becoming filled with the knowledge provided by Master Huang.

Gradually, through endless studying and exams, Anma's test scores improved remarkably.

In just a few months, they had already reached the edge of passing grade.

Theoretically speaking, under the standards set by Master Huang, He has reached the point where He can graduate.

However, there's still some time; let's take it slow. Naturally, scores will only get higher over time.

Finally, one day, overwhelmed by the burden on her soul, Anma looked at her passing grade and collapsed into a mountain of books.

Five months of intensive, sleepless study successfully constructed the cerebral cortex of this Beast Lord.

This also caused His thoughts to become somewhat scattered, but Rinshi remained by His side, comforting Him.

"According to Mr. Huang, Anma has already consistently passed, so there's no need to..."

Huang Cao, who was grading documents, looked up and said, "Learning is a broad term, and life is also a learning process, but at least for now, he certainly doesn't need to learn the content in books anymore."

Huang Cao looked at Anma, whose skin seemed to have become even whiter, with a pained expression.

Anma's skin was even paler than her own little vampire's, but no one found it strange; it was as if she was born to be that pale.

After a long period of exhaustion, a blush of mild anger appeared on His pale face, but His eyes contained admiration for someone, so He did not choose to blame Huang Cao.

Because this man also stayed up all night with her, spending those tiring but fulfilling five months together.

During this period, Anma was able to have at least one or two hours of rest each day.

Occasionally, you can have some dessert and space out for a few minutes to pass the time.

But Huang Cao didn't get a moment's rest. During the day, he was grading documents and Anma's exam papers, and at night he would teach Anma from her books.

In Anma's eyes, Huang Cao went through one ballpoint pen refill after another, either reviewing documents or correcting his own exam papers.

He was like a passionate machine, never tired, never resting.

But in reality, within these six months...

Master Huang wasn't actually as relaxed as he seemed; he had simply gotten through the initial months of exploring the game, and his work was becoming increasingly easier.

This can be seen from Anma's class schedule; initially, this Beast Lord only needed to attend four hours of classes.

Huang Cao has gradually reduced the time he spends correcting documents, while Anma now spends as much as twenty hours a day studying, with all the extra time being replaced by teaching time.

Such intense work and study left Master Huang feeling quite exhausted, therefore...

Huang Cao now longs to return to his home in Utopia and have a good time with his wives.

I haven't been back for six months, I'll go back and work for another six months!

My fighting spirit is growing stronger, as fiery and surging as a blocked volcano!

"Make a phone call."

Huang Cao hasn't made a video call in a while. He's so focused on his work that he forgets to eat and sleep, only occasionally taking voice calls from women.

Because the wives in Huang Cao's family knew their husbands were very busy, and in order not to cause trouble for their husbands' work, they could only call occasionally to express their concern.

Do you have any family?

A dazed Anma couldn't help but complain, subconsciously viewing the man as a meticulous work machine.

Huang Cao sighed, "That's how people get confused when they're learning. Oh well, you're graduating today. You've studied with me for so long, so why don't you say hello to my family and get to know them?"

"Perhaps you and they can become very good friends."

I seem to recall Huang Cao mentioning before that his only remaining family member is his wife.

What is it about a female that can make this guy fall for her?

To be honest, Anma is really curious right now.

Chapter 526: Anma: Quickly get the wood, eat it fast!

So that's how it is. That guy doesn't seem to lack energy, so he can squander it at will.

Humans are truly strange creatures, or perhaps this is just the capriciousness of predators at the top of the food chain.
