Chapter 318: A Good Life, the Kindness of the Fifth Master

Seeing Lu Wenwu's serious expression that didn't seem to be fake, Mende suddenly felt a little regretful.

I've always heard that geniuses are on the left and lunatics are on the right. These particularly awesome people basically have some quirks.

Now it seems that it is indeed true.

What a super strong man I am!

Opening his mouth meant killing his brother and his father. Mende, who had never thought about such a thing, suddenly started sweating.

Although he also wanted to be emperor in his heart and become the master of the Bauhinia Empire.

But he never even thought about killing his eldest brother directly or even forcing his father to abdicate.

So far, the worst thing he has ever done in his life is probably that when he was hunting at the royal hunting ground, in order to surpass the eldest prince in shooting skills, he asked the guards to help him cheat.

"What? Fifth brother, I suddenly feel that I don't want to be the emperor that much anymore," Mende said weakly, "My father, mother, and brother are all very good to me. How could I do something so...so powerful?" Something that goes against the laws of nature and human ethics.”

"Don't you want to attract attention? This is the fastest way." Lu Wenwu spread his hands, "What else can be faster than becoming the emperor? Or, do you want to compete for the throne using normal means? Don't worry, as long as you If the price is right, I can do it right away, and no one will doubt you."

Mende opened his mouth, his pupils were shaking at the level of 18.

The emperor of an ancient and powerful empire kills at will?

Although our Bauhinia Empire is not as outrageous as the Jade Empire, it is definitely a T0-level powerful empire on the mainland. It is definitely not something that a certain Dharma God or legendary knight-level near-god powerhouse can shake alone.

Do you really think that the Royal Mages, Arcanists, Knights and other defensive forces do not exist?

Our empire even has legendary knights and nine-ring truth arcane masters!

Seemingly sensing Mende's suspicion, Lu Wenwu said in a pleasant tone: "Isn't it a gentleman if you don't know someone who doesn't know you?" You can doubt my ability, but you can't doubt my connections. As long as you pay the starting price, I can kill the emperor of the Jade Empire for you. "

"How about it? Are you interested? As long as you show me all the banned books in the Royal Library after you become emperor, and order to mobilize the whole country to help me find something. I'll ask for a very low price, it's definitely a good deal."

Yes, it is indeed a good deal.

But if you help me kill my father and brother, how can I still hold the throne?

Not to mention the throne of the Jade Empire, you really dare to think about it!

What's more, I'm not that kind of person!

Mende, whose face turned red, refused decisively: "No, it means I'm not the material to be an emperor."

"You can even give up the throne?" Lu Wenwu groped his chin, "It seems that you really have no interest in power and status. So, all you want is for everyone to pay attention to you?"

"Yeah, that's it!" Mende nodded fiercely, "I had the idea of ​​becoming the emperor, and I competed with the emperor brother, just because after becoming the emperor, people all over the country will focus on me, which will make I feel very accomplished and very happy!”

"Oh, that's it"

Lu Wenwu was thoughtful.

If Mende was placed on Blue Star, he would definitely be a very good network anchor or a popular traffic star. Lu Wenwu had no doubt about this guy's professional skills and appearance.

From his academic performance, which has always been ranked second in the class, it can be seen that this guy is actually quite powerful, but he just doesn't use his energy in the right place.

Lu Wenwu strongly suspected that this guy was working hard to learn and practice magic just to attract attention.

Strong people all have their own concerns.

On Blue Star, this matter can be easily solved.

But in an era like the Continent of the Gods, where the speed of information circulation is slow, it is basically impossible to become such a person.

Do you want this kid to perform the Declaration of Independence in public, or bite a lighter?

No, not appropriate.

What this guy is after is the recognition he gets after doing something, and the sense of accomplishment he gets when he is noticed. It is not just about doing hard work and getting traffic.

People can live without living, but they cannot live without living.

If this kid Mende wants to be in the limelight, he doesn’t necessarily have to take the right path.

The whole job is the fastest.

And it must be a good job, not a bad job.

It would be best if this life lasts longer and the problem can be solved once and for all.

What can Mende do with his current ability?

Lu Wenwu pondered for a moment, and suddenly he had an idea.

He asked: "If I show you a clear path, do you care about spending gold coins? The number may be a lot."

"Spend gold coins? Gold coins are not a problem!" Mende said immediately, "The most important thing I lack is gold coins. I have no interest in gold coins!"

"What if I'm talking about a million-level fund?" Lu Wenwu raised his eyebrows, "And it's just the initial capital. You may have to continue to invest every year in the future."

A few million gold coins in the Continent of the Gods would definitely be a huge sum of money.

The purchasing power of one gold coin here is probably equivalent to more than 20,000 yuan on Blue Star.

Even a near-godly and powerful person would never be able to afford such a large sum of money purely through chance encounters and adventures without some way to continuously make money.

Mende thought for a moment and nodded slowly: "It is indeed a bit much. One million gold coins is almost my annual pocket money, and the money I have on hand is only more than two million. If it rises to tens of millions, I may have to risk my brother’s legs to pay.”

Take less?

A year's worth of pocket money?

The snow wolf Snow was stunned.

What the hell, a rich man!

Nearly one million people in their tribe work 24 hours a year, and they can't earn so much without eating or drinking!

They can't even earn one tenth of it!

I was so angry that no matter how hard the orcs tried, they always lived under the shadow of humans.

How can this be compared!

Snow, with a look of grief and indignation, glared at Mende fiercely, turned back to his room and combed his hair in anger, leaving Mende confused.

"It doesn't cost that much. This price is just a proxy for the market price." Lu Wenwu explained, "It just so happens that the God's Birthday is in a few days. There is a tradition of giving gifts to each other on the God's Birthday. You know it, right?"

"Of course."

Mende nodded, and suddenly realized it, and his eyes lit up instantly.

"Oh, I understand! Fifth brother, what you mean is that I should give gifts to as many people as possible on the day of God's Birthday, so that everyone will discuss this matter and I can gain everyone's gratitude!? This is simply wonderful, I will ask my subordinates to buy a large number of magic supplies!"

"It's too small, too small."

Lu Wenwu smiled slightly and waved his hand.

"Do you think that so many people in the school are giving gifts to each other on that day, which can reflect your specialness? Do you think that your million gold coins will be distributed to everyone, and how much will be left in the end? Let's not talk about the distant future, just in our class, who can see this?"

As soon as these words came out, Mende immediately became nervous again.

Lu Wenwu was right.

Magicians are rich per capita.

Even if they are still students in the learning stage, even if they drop out immediately, they will be poached by many forces outside.

Backed by the Magic Wizard Academy, this is a golden signboard.

If there is no special friendship, ordinary magic items purchased with gold coins are basically a one-time deal.

Maybe someone will secretly curse Mende for looking down on others and being too stingy.

Lu Wenwu did not keep him waiting, but continued: "Sending charcoal in the snow is the most touching thing. And the things you send must be practical and long-lasting, so that others will remember your kindness and think of you every time they need it."

Mende's breathing suddenly became heavy: "Fifth brother, what do you mean..."

Lu Wenwu grinned and said: "You can ask your royal family to donate a library in your name to the Arcane Academy, donate a batch of public teaching equipment to the Arcane Academy, donate some high-quality furniture and teaching aids, and engrave your name on each donation."

"As far as I know, although our school is rich, the financial situation of the Arcane Academy has not been very optimistic. The dean has always adhered to the concept of teaching without distinction, but there are too many people coming here to study. , many equipments are aging too fast. "

"You saw it during the flying class. Even the teaching aids of our magic academy are still a hundred years old. The arcane academy is even more miserable. There are more than a thousand people in a grade, competing for such limited resources. How can they be divided?"

"In addition to donations, you can also set up an additional scholarship outside the academy's reward and punishment system, directly named after yourself, with the academy as notary and supervisor, to subsidize those capable but poor arcane students."

"You see, if you do all this, when the next school year starts, thousands of freshmen will see the words "Donated by our outstanding alumni: Mende Bohenia" on their beds as soon as they arrive at the dormitory. "

"When they arrive in the classroom, the tables and teaching aids are still engraved with "Donated by our outstanding alumni" Friends: Donated by Mende Bohenia. Even the title page of the new books in the library has this sentence. "

"When each school year ends, the Arcane Academy will publicly award the Mende Bohenia Scholarship to many students at the end-of-term summary ceremony. At that time, how do you think everyone will look at you?"

"If you were one of these sponsored arcane masters, wouldn't you want to meet and thank this kind-hearted classmate?"

"After graduation, will those arcane masters who have been sponsored by you occasionally mention to their friends, disciples, and descendants that when they were not yet successful, there was an old senior who had generously sponsored them and was grateful for your kindness?"

"If they graduate in the future and want to choose a force to cooperate with, do you think they will turn to those "

"I know that for a top noble like you, this method may seem a bit foolish and rich."

"After all, no force has ever recruited graduates in this way before. They are the ones who don't see the rabbits and don't release the eagles. They have to select the best from the best. They must make sure that their investment is stable and profitable before they do it."

"But, what if? The icing on the cake will never be as moving as sending charcoal in the snow, not to mention that you are just trying to get attention. As long as you can get one, you will make a profit."

"If it were you, if the books you read and the things you used when you were studying were of good quality and were all produced in the same country, wouldn't you want to go around after graduation?"

"Don't you want to learn about the local customs and customs when you go around? Don't you want to buy some souvenirs? Don't you want to meet the old senior who sponsored the college? After everything is done, you have to find an opportunity to show off to your old classmates and recall your youth?"

As soon as these words came out, Mende was immediately stunned.

He just wanted to learn a way to get attention, yet Lu Wenwu had even thought up talent recruitment plans and economic development plans for him?

This, this, this, this is simply outrageous!

If the common approach to talent recruitment in the Gods Continent now is to be selective, then what Lu Wenwu mentioned is to cast a wide net.

This is exactly what Mende wants!

Others are afraid of losing money, but he is not!

He himself didn't intend to use this huge sum of money to make any great moves. He simply wanted to attract other people's attention.

Even if these gold coins are a pure loss, they will definitely attract a lot of attention to themselves!

Others are worried that their treasured knowledge will be learned by others, but he is not afraid.

If you don’t feel bad for selling your father’s land, who’s rich second generation is afraid of losing his family?

As long as the rich second generation does not start a business, they are the biggest losers!

This thing is going somewhere, very much!

"If you are tempted, I suggest you report to the principal immediately, finalize the donation, and implement it as soon as possible. If you act quickly enough, this level of investment will most likely be announced by the principal at the Christmas dinner. "

Lu Wenwu finally reminded.

"The reason for the donation should be well-intentioned. You are a prince born in the royal family. You don't need me to teach you about this kind of thing, right?"

"Of course, if you really have too much money, you can directly establish several compulsory colleges according to the model I mentioned. In this way, you will get more reputation and attention."

"Or I can make recipes out of the dishes that I am now teaching to the arcane servants. You can spread these recipes for free with the argument of improving people's livelihood. You can claim that you spent countless gold coins to buy them, but it is still free for the sake of the people. It was announced.”

"People are simple. If they get benefits, they will definitely think of you and me."

"No problem! I will arrange for someone to do it right away! As long as you write down your recipe, Fifth Brother, I will immediately arrange to give it away for free in various places on the mainland. I will definitely spread your reputation throughout the continent!"

Mende shouted loudly and knelt down on the spot with a plop, his eyes flashing with fanaticism.

His eyes were red, and there were even tears flowing out.

"Fifth brother, no! Fifth master! These wild and unconstrained ideas of yours are simply too powerful. They are countless times more powerful than my own little ideas that cannot be put on the table!"

"If you don't mind it, Fifth Master, I am willing to treat you as my godfather! You don't have to worry about my father and eldest brother, I am confident to convince them!"

Lu Wenwu: "."

I always feel that this plot looks familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere.

He coughed twice, raised his hand and shot out a wind element to subdue Mende, shook his head and said:

"Let's forget about this kind of thing. You should still call me Fifth Brother. If you really want to thank me, why not give me a copy of the books in your home and send them to school, which will save me a long trip.

"At the same time, when promoting recipes, help me search for any unique copies left in the folk. I don't have many hobbies. I like to read myths, legends and anecdotes. They are probably among the few."

"It would be the greatest help to me if you help me get more books that I can't find through normal channels."

Lu Wenwu tried his best to help Mende, and naturally he had selfish motives.

If there is no benefit, and the other person has no friendship with me at all, why do I try my best to help him?

Doing good deeds also requires rewards.

On the other hand, Mende was a little regretful about not being able to recognize Lu Wenwu as his godfather.

Similarly, when he proposed the idea of ​​acknowledging Wu as his father, he was not entirely grateful, but also had some small thoughts.

What he really thinks is - Brother Wu is so awesome in school, if I become his godson, wouldn't I just follow him and become awesome?

All I can say is that this guy does have some talent.

In terms of traffic, he has already learned it without a teacher!
