I Have A Cultivation World - Chapter 340

Chapter 340: Chapter 273: Not Shying Away From Responsibilities_1

“Do you know why I moved everyone away so they won’t see the results of our magic duel?”

Zuo Qiushi asked a strange question that Chen Mobai naturally didn’t know the answer to.

“The presidents of the student unions in the four Daoist academies are representatives of their own institutions and are often compared by all university students in the Immortal Sect. I think I’ve done an adequate job without letting Dance Tool Dao Academy down. So, the successor naturally can’t be weak.”

As Zuo Qiushi said this, he pointed to Chen Mobai, suggesting he was suitable.

“Zhongli Tianyu is good. He was my first choice, but he is only at the fifth tier of Foundation Establishment, and he needs two more years of cultivation to handle this position.”

“You are good, although your cultivation realm is low, your talent for magic duels is unmatched. I checked your data, and you were able to join our academy because you won against all contenders at the same generation in Red Sandstone City.”

“I was thinking if I win over you, I would publicly announce that we were equal matches. It would be a hype for you since you achieved the Sword Rainbow Fission, and no one would easily contradict this record.”

Unfortunately, Zuo Qiushi lost.

But because of this, what was initially just a thought in his head, he made up his mind instantly after witnessing Chen Mobai’s terrifying talent in magic duels.

It would be you.

Chen Mobai was a bit tempted, but he wondered if his frequent absences would affect his exploration of the Tianhe Realm once he takes on the role of student union president.

“Don’t worry about this, when I was president of the student union, I was also a laissez-faire boss, and I left all the work to Hua Zijing. After I graduate, it may even be better if you, as president, don’t want to manage affairs.”

After listening to Zuo Qiushi’s words, Chen Mobai nodded and then asked the most important question.

“What are the benefits of being the student union president?”

“What kind of benefits are you referring to?”

Zuo Qiushi was a bit uncertain as to what Chen Mobai referred to as “benefits.” His imminent entry into public service gave him a profound understanding of these two words, and he instantly thought of several implications. To avoid misunderstandings, he simply asked directly.

“Something substantial, such as potions, magic artifacts, academic credit, Vermillion fruit, etc. Are there such benefits for being the president of the student union?”

Chen Mobai was still quite innocent, asking for these things put Zuo Qiushi at ease.

“Since the student union helps the academy connect with students and maintain order, the academy will grant us five credits a year.”

“As for magic artifacts, since the president is the face of the academy, you will receive a set of Rank-2 Dancing Device Red and Black Robe.”

“And you can freely use the Map of Treasures. The academy takes half of the credits acquired from the Map of Treasures, and the rest counts as benefits.”

These are the overall benefits of the student union. Everything else is related to various responsibilities, obligations, and associated powers.

After hearing about this, Chen Mobai felt somewhat let down.

“Just five credits a year?”

“It’s not a small number. These five credits are only available to ten members of the entire student union, all of whom are my trusted aides. Our main source of credit income is still from the Map of Treasures. Although half of it will be taken by the academy, if you are lucky, you can accumulate enough in one or two years to exchange for a Device Piece. If a magic artifact emerges, you, as the president, have the priority to choose.”

Seeing Chen Mobai showing some dissatisfaction, Zuo Qiushi had to disclose some of the hidden benefits of the student union.

Sure enough, when he heard about this, Chen Mobai’s eyes lit up.

Accumulating credits on his own would take a long time, which isn’t as fast as earning rent directly.

At the end of each year in the Daoist Academy, people would open the Device Nurturing Sphere. Each person who does so spends 100 credits to exchange for a Device Piece and will not hesitate to pay the small two-point fee for the information query on the Map of Treasures.

And with the influence of the student union, his search for Device Nurturing Spheres that probably seals Rank-3 Magic Artifacts will certainly be more efficient.

“In that case, I think it’s worth considering.”

Upon hearing this from Chen Mobai, Zuo Qiushi assured him that he would immediately vacate his position for him.

“Why so suddenly?”

“I’ve graduated this year, and after handing over the student union affairs, I will be starting my new job in the enforcement bureau. If it weren’t for you, I would have given the position to Zijing to serve as an interim for two years before handing it over to Zhongli Tianyu or other more talented candidates.”

Zuo Qiushi didn’t hide anything and directly told Chen Mobai why he was in such a hurry to step down.

Indeed, compared to the promising career in the Immortal Sect and the potential of gaining the “Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill”, being the president of the Dance Tool Dao Academy’s student union is also a vital position for accumulating credits to exchange for the “Fire Elemental Knot Golden Elixir”, but having a better option, one should strive to get the best.

Presumably, Lan Haitian from Kunpeng Daoist Institute feels the same way.

“You just trust me like that.”

Chen Mobai still feels a bit like he’s dreaming. How did he win over the whole student union after winning over Zuo Qiushi?!

“I’ve personally experienced your talent in magic duels, the best I’ve ever seen in my life. What we need for the foremost representatives of the four Daoist academies is strength, and aren’t you the most suitable?”

Upon Zuo Qiushi’s counter-question, Chen Mobai felt the reasoning was still a bit far-fetched.

“Moreover, you are a disciple of Supervisor Che. Even if you can’t manage the student union properly, he can pick up after you. Anyway, once I hand this position over to you, I will have fulfilled my responsibility to the academy.”
