Panda City School looks like a mini castle, and Yak Town School looks like a ...... Ah no, it's just a big quadrangle. It can be seen that the headmaster's office is not very luxurious.

Su Ze walked into the hall master's office for the first time, and he and Qiuqiu looked at the simple and somewhat rudimentary room together. The latter looked at a brand-new oil painting on the wall, blinked his big eyes, and said curiously: "Su Ze, what is painted on it? It's so ugly and crooked, it's not as beautiful as the ball!"

didn't wait for Su Ze to complain, "You don't even have hands, how can you draw?", I heard Mr. Huang say quite proudly: "Little hairball, don't underestimate this painting." This "Sunflower" is from the hand of the well-known mainland painter Fan Gang, a masterpiece, a painting is hard to find, and the value is needless to say. Of course, how can you appreciate the charm of the painting, you are a little magic pet. ”

Hearing Mr. Huang complain about Qiuqiu, Su Ze instinctively felt a trace of disgust, and immediately said casually: "I saw that this office has two tables and two chairs, and the humble room is as new as new, and I thought that the hall chief treats money like dung, but I didn't expect ......."

"Su Ze, you have wronged me. Without waiting for Su Ze to finish speaking, the hall chief poured tea and explained: "Aren't you quite familiar with Mayor Wang, don't you know how greedy he is? Every year, the royal family allocates a sum of money for education to schools and schools across the country, but this money has to be reduced by half as soon as it passes through the hands of the city lord; and then it has to shrink by half again through the hands of the town mayor, but there are not many people who can really reach me! You can still talk about food and accommodation on weekdays? The school's food and lodging are of a very high standard, and people will be sent to inspect them from time to time, so that you young summoners will be grateful to the motherland. Therefore, almost all the money that came to the account over the years was invested in food and accommodation, as for any decoration and furnishings, I didn't even think about it, even the wall plaster was paid for by myself. The chair in front of you...... Sit and drink tea, it's already an old antique from more than ten years ago!"

Hearing this, Su Zezhi frowned, "Mayor Wang embezzled public funds, and you don't want to think of a way?"

"What can I do?" Mr. Huang took a sip of black tea, shook his head and said, "Mayor Wang is my direct leader, if I want to bring him down, I have to go to the city lord of Antelope City to complain." If the city lord is more greedy than the town mayor, if he doesn't dispose of me, I will have to burn high incense, so how can I deal with the town mayor Wang? Or, if I go up and file a complaint with the finance department of the imperial capital? You don't want to think about it, how can the city lord not know that the city lord has been corrupt for decades, how can the finance officer not know? He must have already greeted the finance officer, and maybe they have eaten a lot of kickbacks from him!

Speaking of this, Mr. Huang suddenly changed his words, "However, the past two years have been strange. At the beginning of last year, the money I got here was about the same as in previous years. I don't know which tendon Mayor Wang is wrong, in mid-September, that is, ten days before you enter the school, he actually sent a sum of money in person, and also sent this famous painting by the way, saying what to improve the taste of the school. I still remember vividly, that day he scolded his accountants for being a pig who couldn't settle accounts, and at the same time told me that he must build a yak town in the future, and I was scared that I thought he was sick. But at the beginning of this year, I did receive seven or eight percent more education funding than in previous years, and it seems that he really wants to do something good. ”

"Mid-September ......" Su Ze recalled for a moment, wasn't that exactly when the city lord's convoy stopped in Yak Town?

Thinking about it this way, Wang Wei's abnormal behavior is easy to understand. In those two days, first his two uncompetitive sons tried to mistreat Li Shasha at night, and were scared back by Su Ze on the spot; Looking at the time of his "reform and return to righteousness", it is estimated that he was frightened by Su Ze and them.

After a lot of gossip, Su Ze drank all the tea in one gulp, and asked bluntly, "Is there anything the hall chief looking for me?"

Hearing Su Ze's question, Mr. Huang first took out an envelope from the drawer, pasted it on the table, and then slowly pushed it in front of Su Ze, but instead of raising his hand, he asked: "First-year freshman, you shouldn't have learned the heavenly and earthly treasures related to soul power, do you know what soul grass is?"

Coincidentally, Mr. Wang, the summoning teacher of the first-grade boys' class, really explained the origin and efficacy of the soul grass. Su Ze nodded and admitted, "I know." ”

"It's worthy of being a dragon summoner, the courses in the academy are like playing for you, right?" Mr. Huang didn't delve into it, and while raising his hand to show the envelope in front of Su Ze, he nodded and smiled: "Take a look, see if you're interested." ”

Su Ze didn't often have interest or something, but when he saw the words "Gray Elephant City" on the envelope, he immediately said that he was very interested! He still remembered that Rhino Town belonged to the jurisdiction of Gray Elephant City, and Xiao Meng went to school in Rhino Town Academy!

Mr. Huang had already read the contents of the letter. Seeing that Su Ze didn't seem to have any intention of opening the letter, she took the initiative to inform the details: "Outside the Gray Elephant City, thirty miles to the southeast, there is a Demonic Beast Forest. At the beginning of last month, the Summoners Association of Gray Elephant City received news that a soul grass had been found in the depths of the forest, so the city lord of Gray Elephant City sent an invitation to the neighboring Antelope City and Jade Rabbit City, saying that they wanted to hold a school-level soul grass competition. The specific rules of the competition are clearly written in the letter, if you are really interested, you may wish to take a good look. ”

The person who was interested in the soul grass was Li Jing, and Su Ze was only interested in the Gray Elephant City, so he was not tempted by the soul grass at all, and asked extremely calmly: "The soul grass is a rare treasure of heaven and earth, and the location of the discovery is near the Gray Elephant City, won't the Gray Elephant City School pick it up by itself, why wait for us to grab it?"

"I'll just tell you this, don't spread it. After a moment of hesitation, Mr. Huang revealed the secret: "In fact, the upper-class summoners know that the soul grass has very little effect on the improvement of soul power, and it is not even as good as our Soul House Expansion Manual. It's supposed to be a shortcut to improving your soul power, but it's just a dream for lower-level summoners. ”

After learning the reason for the Grey Elephant City School to give up the Soul Grass, Su Ze became more and more puzzled: "Since the Soul Grass is useless, what are we going to do with it?"

Mr. Huang showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, and said embarrassedly: "Although the soul grass is useless, if we can obtain the soul grass in the academy, it can not only enhance the prestige of our academy, but also obtain a generous reward prepared by the city lord of the Gray Elephant City." Therefore, I hope to send the strongest students to compete for the fame and fortune of our school...... Well, it's mainly about fame, can you understand?"

Hearing this, Su Ze suddenly realized, "What are you doing in the melee midterm exam, shouldn't it be the selection of contestants?" He counted with his fingers: "In the end, there are four winners, among the eliminated people, Chu You deserves to be the strongest, and if the five candidates are not all selected, why are you looking for me?"

Mr. Huang became more and more embarrassed and said, "Su Ze, you don't know that performing off-campus tasks requires taking risks. In the academy, the safety of the students is the responsibility of me, the head of the hall, but once you leave the academy, the academy will no longer be responsible for your personal safety. In other words, your life or death has nothing to do with the Academy during your off-campus assignments. You also know Chu You's identity, if she has any accidents, it will inevitably cause a huge diplomatic conflict, so she must not participate in this competition. As the head of everyone's hall, I also hope that the students can come back safely, so this soul grass competition will be led by you, and the other four candidates can also be completely left to you to decide. ”

Seeing a hint of hesitation in Su Ze's empty eyes, Mr. Huang hurriedly said, "Don't worry, if you don't want to participate, I will definitely not force it." But you don't have to give me an answer now, I hope you can give me a message early tomorrow morning, either explicitly refuse, or bring your candidate over. ”
