After entering the Scholar Hiring System, Zhang Yi first spent over 1.2 million to exchange for 400 Scholar Coins from the system. Then he clicked on the Industrial Software Department Scholar category. Upon entering, Zhang Yi immediately saw a list similar to the Mechanical Department, with many different races.
So, just like before, Zhang Yi immediately excluded all races that were vastly different from humans. This wasn't a temporary one or two-day hire, but a long-term one, so those with too much difference simply wouldn't work.
Then he excluded all those priced over 400 Scholar Coins, leaving not many scholars in the Industrial Software Category.
However, even so, within the entire Industrial Machine Software Category, the cheapest scholar still cost 200 Scholar Coins. But Zhang Yi also knew that his current funds simply didn't allow him to hire expensive scholars.
Therefore, he hadn't planned on hiring those expensive Industrial Software Category scholars from the start, because based on previous experience, even the cheapest scholar among them would be more than sufficient for him now.
At the same time, Zhang Yi saw that the lists in the system were very disorganized, so he categorized all the individuals within them. All those belonging to the same race were placed in one category, and within the same race, the prices were also arranged from low to high.
As expected, after categorizing them this way, it was much easier for Zhang Yi to find what he needed, unlike before where it would take a long time to find a suitable scholar.

When Zhang Yi saw the Industrial Computer Software Scholar category, he was surprised to find that many of the races that had appeared in the Mechanical Scholar category before were now appearing among the scholars in the Industrial Computer category.
Especially the Red Alert Trainee Engineers. However, the price of the Red Alert Trainee Engineers here was much higher than in the Mechanical category. And according to Zhang Yi's observation of the various categories in the system, the price of Red Alert Engineers here was higher than in other categories. However, when Zhang Yi saw the evaluation below the Red Alert Engineers, he knew why the Red Alert Engineers here were so expensive.
Although Zhang Yi was very envious of the Red Alert Engineers, unfortunately, his pockets were shy, and he temporarily couldn't afford to employ them.
So Zhang Yi directly excluded the Red Alert Engineers for the time being. Then, he also excluded the Giant Race and the Small Ear Race, leaving only the Dwarves, Half-Elves, and Big Head Race.
However, considering that he already had three Dwarf scholars in his factory, Zhang Yi reluctantly excluded the Dwarves as well.
This left the Half-Elves and the Big Head Race, which made Zhang Yi quite troubled. The Big Head Race was very similar to Earth humans, and most importantly, very similar to the people of the Great Hua Empire. Of course, the first thing was to ignore the Big Head Race's significantly larger heads compared to humans.
However, although the Big Head Race, in Zhang Yi's opinion, had unusually large heads, it was still within Zhang Yi's acceptable range. After all, with a population of nearly seven to eight billion on Earth, it wasn't uncommon to see people with strange appearances. What's so strange about having a slightly larger head? It's not rare.
However, compared to the other races in the Genius Store, the Big Head Race's combat power was simply too weak, with only 2-4 points of combat power. If you had to say, they might not even be comparable to fifth-graders on Earth.
After all, if a normal strong man's combat power is calculated as ten, then the combat power of a typical fifth-grader in elementary school definitely exceeds three, and some even exceed five. Therefore, the Big Head Race's combat power is pitifully weak.
Of course, although the Big Head Race is very fragile in terms of combat power, they have very high talent in other areas, especially in intelligence.
The overall intelligence of the Big Head Race is basically above 150. If a person from the Big Head Race has an intelligence below 150, then such intelligence is no different from being mentally challenged among the Big Head Race. This is what Zhang Yi values most.
The Half-Elf scholars, on the other hand, are relatively balanced in all aspects and are also very similar to the people of the Great Hua Empire. At the same time, their racial talent is dexterity, which is more suitable for doing more delicate work. The Half-Elves' intelligence is also not low, so computer software is perfect for them.
After much thought, Zhang Yi finally temporarily gave up on the Half-Elves, especially since all the female Half-Elves were very attractive, which was a great attraction to Zhang Yi. However, considering that Zhang Yi had already employed three female scholars in the Scholar Hiring System, this time Zhang Yi still chose male members of the Big Head Race.
Subsequently, Zhang Yi clicked on the Big Head Race option. The first thing he saw was naturally the scholars with the lowest employment price. At the same time, Zhang Yi also found that these Big Head Race scholars priced at 300 basically had a combat power of only 2, and their intelligence was also significantly higher than their race's average, but basically around 160. Perhaps this is why these people have a low employment price in the Scholar Hiring System. After all, the Big Head Race scholars with slightly higher employment prices have intelligence above 170, and the highest even reaches 180.
