Chapter 386: Ning Rongrong, who is incompatible with Shitlake
Through the previous few simple exchanges, the eight people in the cafeteria basically knew each other. The strange atmosphere lasted only for a while, and soon someone spoke up to break the silence.
"Oh, by the way, Se Lao Hu, you said yesterday that the academy was very poor, but why is the academy poor? Several teachers we met were over level 60, and some were over level 70. According to their levels, the subsidies they can receive from the Spirit Hall are astronomical figures in themselves. It shouldn't be a big deal to support such a small academy, right?"
The one who asked the question was Xiao Wu.
Dai Mubai looked at her with a slightly strange look, then shook his head and explained:
"If it's like what you said, the academy certainly doesn't need to worry about any income problems, but the fact is not so."
"The subsidies given by the Spirit Hall are actually allocated by the empire and issued by the Spirit Hall. The subsidies are only given to the Soul Master level. Receive 100 gold coins every month, just like I am now."
"After exceeding the Soul Master level, not only will the subsidies not increase, but they will disappear. In other words, including Soul Master, Soul Masters above Soul Master cannot receive any subsidies from the Spirit Hall. When you go to the Spirit Hall to receive subsidies every month, there will be a soul power test. That is to determine whether your soul power exceeds level 40. Once it exceeds level 40, the subsidy will be stopped immediately."
"Ah? Why is that?"
Xiao Wu was a little stunned for a moment.
In response to Xiao Wu's question, Dai Mubai simply explained the empire's expenditures and the treatment of independent soul masters by various countries or forces.
Xiao Wu nodded, and finally said indignantly: "If this is true, then the Spirit Hall is really shameless."
"Who said it's not true"
Ma Hongjun agreed.
He didn't think about it at all. He went to the Spirit Hall of Soto City to receive subsidies yesterday.
Most people sitting in the cafeteria didn't refute this. Only Ning Rongrong, who was eating breakfast and listening quietly not far away, had a strange look on her face.
Over the years, thanks to a sister who likes reading, Ning Rongrong has also indirectly learned many secrets of the mainland that she would not have known.
Among them, the truth about the "Spirit Hall subsidy" is said to date back to a thousand years ago, when the Spirit Hall was in its early days. It had not yet dominated the mainland and the Spirit Hall branches could be seen in any place on the mainland.
At that time, the empires on the mainland were still committed to resisting the disguised "invasion" of the Spirit Hall, that is, they did not want the Spirit Hall to expand the Spirit Hall branches within their respective national territories.
In this tense situation, the Spirit Hall suddenly proposed to provide subsidies to all soul masters below the Soul Sect level on the continent, including but not limited to civilian soul masters or soul masters from noble families, and the Spirit Hall paid for it itself, without thinking of squeezing the assets of the empire.
Who knew that the two empires at that time regarded it as a means for the Spirit Hall to win people's hearts, and even suspected that the Spirit Hall was recruiting mainland soul masters and wanted to cut off the foundation (people) of major countries. So they refused to accept the toast and immediately expressed their disagreement with the Spirit Hall's subsidy to grassroots soul masters across the continent, even if it was their own money!
After all, who let the original major countries, even the empires with big family and big business, never have the idea of seeking welfare for grassroots soul masters and issuing subsidies to help civilian soul masters grow.
As for why "civilian soul masters" are specifically mentioned?
Will rich and powerful soul masters still look down on this subsidy?
Haha, in fact, all the major forces wanted to suppress civilian soul masters, and were unwilling to let civilian soul masters easily cross classes and become new "cake sharers" one after another.
This undoubtedly angered the Wuhun Hall, which wanted to "talk nicely" at the time. After that, the Wuhun Hall immediately sent a large number of strong people to the capitals of various countries to visit and drink tea, and then... nothing happened.
The subsidy policy of the Wuhun Hall was not only successfully implemented in the end, but also extremely overbearingly required major countries on the mainland to contribute funds, and then the Wuhun Hall would distribute them on their behalf.
In this regard, major countries including the Empire were of course only dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out, and eventually, it gradually evolved into what it is today.
In short, no matter what purpose the Wuhun Hall had at the beginning, it was true that it had sought welfare for civilian soul masters. And the so-called Wuhun Hall was shameless, it was simply nonsense. Everything was just that the national forces at that time did not recognize the situation, did not accept the toast, and suffered the consequences...
Of course, although Ning Rongrong knew all this, she did not mean to speak out to defend the Wuhun Hall at this time. After all, she was the young master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Even if she couldn't stand Xiao Wu and her group's wanton slander of the Spirit Hall, she would not choose to speak out for justice because of her position.
Not long after, Dai Mubai's face was full of pride, and he said with a beaming face, "Do you know? Our Shrek Academy has admitted more than 20 students in the past 20 years since its establishment, an average of more than one per year. If it weren't for the arrival of the Dragon Knights a few years ago that caused a sensation on the continent, Shrek Academy would have recruited more students in the past 20 years."
Speaking, Dai Mubai and several people in the cafeteria cast their hidden eyes on Ning Rongrong, and soon withdrew their faces with a serious look.
The Dragon Knights...
The current Dragon King Hall Master Wang Zhao is one of the well-known Dragon Knights.
Then, Dai Mubai continued: "This year, Shrek Academy has recruited four new students, which is a record. Before this, the academy had not received any students for two years."
"Why not try to lower the standards?"
At this time, Xiao Wu asked again as a supporting role.
The smile on Dai Mubai's face became even more intense.
"Lower the standards? This is impossible. Because, the dean said that it is better to have nothing than to have something unqualified. No matter when, even if Shrek Academy closes, it will never accept trash, only monsters!"
"Do you know what the graduation requirements of the academy are? We are neither an intermediate soul master academy nor a high-level soul master academy. Because our requirements are different from theirs."
"We only want students under the age of thirteen, and they must be gifted. The graduation requirements of the academy are to be above level 40, and to be above level 40 before the age of twenty, and to reach the level of soul master before graduation."
"So far, the academy has admitted more than forty students. members, but only about ten people actually graduated. Oh, by the way, the students who were taken away by the Dragon Knights should be excluded from these forty-odd students. "
"And those who finally graduated successfully have all become world-renowned figures after leaving the academy. Among them, the most outstanding one is now the youngest elder in the Spirit Hall, and his authority is second only to the Pope. The rest who did not graduate were unable to complete the 40th level of training before the age of 20 or died while hunting soul beasts. The dean said that if you are not at the 41st level, don't go out and embarrass him. "
After hearing this, Ning Rongrong, who was not far away, looked obviously weird.
