Chapter 331: Did China East Education Set Up A Company Here?

Tian Du City.

At the association.

Lu Ming pondered deeply for a moment and finally decided to participate in the on-campus job fair.

He considered it carefully before making the decision.

He had been in this world for a long while. He needed a foothold there. The Sword Card Master Association fulfilled Lu Ming’s vision of home.

Look.

Obedient and brilliant Xiaobai...

Adorable and tender Xiaoyan...

Pious and sensible Haoran...

When he ventured out, all he needed to do was bring the rich tycoon Zhao Yunshan with him...

Was this not enough?!

He could have all that he wanted!

If the Sword Card Master Association grew and expanded, he would finally have a ‘home’! This meant a lot to Lu Ming who did not have a home!

Of course.

This was only one of his considerations.

There was another reason, it was increasing their cultivation level in the future...

Cough.

What was the potential of the Sword Card Master Association?

It had a lot of potential!

Due to the stringent entry requirements, everyone who joined the Sword Card Master Association was very talented. Everyone could become very powerful!

The Spirit Body Section, the Swordplay Section, the Color Dyeing Section...

Every disciple had their own section!

Every disciple had their own glory and mission!

They had made what they were best part of a Sword Card Master’s abilities. Therefore, with every addition of a disciple, the Sword Card Master Association could develop itself further! If they had more and more of talents, the Sword Card Master Association would become stronger, and Lu Ming would be able to learn new abilities.

Although Lu Ming had made it that far without any Master or Elder, he had his disciples with him!

Therefore, in order to become stronger, he had to recruit more talented disciples!

Well...

It was very logical.

“Let’s sign up!

“I have come to this happy decision.”

Lu Ming had made up his mind.

“Master.

“In that case, your resources at the associations...”

Li Haoran paused briefly.

He had not signed up because of Master.

He knew that Master had been practicing at the Card Creators Association and Swordsman Association for the past few days. If he signed up, he would be left with nothing.

The reason why they treated Lu Ming with politeness was because they hoped that Lu Ming would join their associations!

It was still okay with the Card Creators Association. After all, the Sword Card Master was affiliated to the Card Creator. But it was not the same for the Swordsman Association!

They hoped to get Lu Ming to leave the Card Creators Association to join them.

All along, they did not take the Sword Card Master Association seriously.

Actually...

To them, Lu Ming was still a Card Creator!

Everyone had the same sentiment.

However, once he joined the competition for new talents and the Sword Card Master Association would be competing with the big shots, they would no longer provide him with resources!

“Just go ahead and sign up.”

Lu Ming maintained a calm expression.

He had thought it through.

Xiao-Xiaojian had a thorough understanding of the concepts at the Swordsman Association. It had learned everything that it should and should not learn. There was no point in going there.

As for the cards...

Sunlight Card, research progress: 80%!

Mover Card, research progress: 80%!

The research progress of the two ultimate limit five-star cards had reached its limit! In order not to reveal the card itself, he had to study the remaining 20% by himself!

After all, when he handed over the lines so that the masters could study them, he told them they were ‘incomplete lines from a certain legacy!”

Therefore...

There was nothing much to study over there as well.

“Yes, Master.”

Li Haoran was in awe.

Master...

He was indeed his master!

In this critical moment, he was willing to sacrifice his interests to obtain more resources for the Sword Card Master Association! He was working hard for the future of the Sword Card Master vocation!

In that case, they had nothing to fear!

He was indeed a graduate of The First Academy!

He had heard that Fourth Junior brother was about to graduate. It was time for him to publicize the Sword Card Master vocation!

Hence...

After receiving his instructions, Li Haoran submitted the official application—The Sword Card Master Association was signing up for the job fair!

...

At this very moment...

The Human Resources Department was collecting the list of associations.

Energy Warriors Association, Elementalists Association, Sharpshooters Association, Sword Card...

Eh?

Sword Card Master Association?

The HR employee had a dazed look as he looked at the new associations that signed up. He then looked at the people who submitted the application and was stunned.

——

Association Name: Sword Card Master Association

Association Level: Beginner.

Association Size: Five Members.

Association Ranking: Three Hundred And Sixtieth Place in Tian Du City Association.

——

This was true.

There were a total of three hundred and sixty associations in Tian Du City and the Sword Card Master Association ranked last!

What the hell was this association?!

To be honest...

If not for the list, they would have never heard of this association!

They checked and realized that it was founded by Lu Ming and used to be in Qing Ming City!

Well...

Lu Ming’s official information: Beginner Four-star.

“Nonsense!”

The employees were between laughter and tears.

This was a sophisticated event. Why did they want to join?

This was graduation season for The First Academy. In terms of scale and quality, this was far beyond common on-campus job fairs. This was a very important event!

All they had to do was look at the list of associations.

——

Association Name: Elementalists Association, Tian Du City Branch.

Association Level: Top-notch.

Association Size: Thirty Eight Thousand.

Association Ranking: Second Place in Tian Du City.

——

Look!

They were on different levels.

Why would an association with five members want to join?

“Cancel their application.”

Two employees chatted casually.

“Good.”

They canceled their application.

As the employees of the Human Resources Department, they were responsible for the students. They could not include associations that were obviously unqualified.

...

At this very moment...

Li Haoran and another member looked dumbstruck as they stared at the message on the panel that said ‘Registration failed’.

“What is happening?”

Li Haoran was at a loss.

Shush!

He decided to resubmit the application—’Registration failed!’

What was going on?

Li Haoran looked dazed.

He took a closer look at the application. There were no special requirements. Why did their registration fail?

Hence...

He made a trip to the Human Resources Department.

“Are you serious about signing up?”

The HR employee was helpless as well. “To be honest, your association does not have the resources and manpower to support any graduates...”

Seriously...

The Sword Card Master Association was too small! It did not even have a five-star member!

What would their graduates do there?

Nothing!

Become their master?!

They could not allow an association that was founded under special circumstances to sign up, particularly when they noticed that a rich tycoon like Zhao Yunshan was one of the members...

Perhaps this association was set up by the rich second generation for fun?

“Stop fooling around, okay?”

The staff sounded as if they were coaxing children. “The on-campus job fair is a very serious event. It concerns the future of every student. We have to be strict in the selection of associations who sign up.”

“The Sword Card Master Association has a lot of potential!”

Li Haoran looked serious.

This was his master’s orders. He had to complete his task.

“This bargain hunting attitude of yours is uncalled for.”

The employees sighed.

What they had in mind was a bargain!

They would sign up first and wait to see if any graduates were interested in their association. Although it was highly impossible, there might be a slight chance that someone was interested!

“What makes you think this?”

Li Haoran smiled bitterly.

“This is because all of them have the same attitude.”

The staff handed them a stack of files. Li Haoran took a closer look and was stunned.

“Elementalist-Fire Elements Association, application to join the on-campus job fair of this year’s graduation season.”

“Summoner-Riding Association, application to join the on-campus job fair of this year’s graduation season.”

“Summoner-Food and Beverage Association, application to join the on-campus job fair of this year’s graduation season.”

“Assassin-Snooper Association, application to join the on-campus job fair of this year’s graduation season.”

...

???

What was all of that?!

Li Haoran was shocked.

“Like you, they were thinking of getting a bargain.”

The staff felt very helpless.

Like the Sword Card Master Association, these associations were small associations that were affiliated with big associations!

Initially...

The founding of an association was very simple.

A seven-star and above cultivator who had a distinctive personal style submitted an application and they could set up an association. It would gradually grow and expand to stand on its own, no longer affiliated with other associations!

It was a pity...

The vast majority of associations went downhill.

This was true for strange associations as well.

They could not wait for a new talent to join them and break through to a seven-star, so as to solve their predicament. Therefore, they resorted to doing this...

Looking at those associations that signed up, other than the first association that sounded normal, the rest were nonsense!

There were the Summoner Food and Beverage Association and the Riding Association. The associations had worked together to provide delivery and their small businesses were doing good. Why did they join the fun then?

There was the Assassin-Snooper Association as well...

Perhaps the ruffians that were caught by the police were from that association?

Shouldn’t they do something about it?

They were graduates from The First Academy. Why would they join such associations?!

If possible, he really wanted to eliminate all of these associations, but the relationship between them was complex. There was no way to get rid of them. He could only eliminate some that were not as complicated.

For example—

The Card Creator-Sword Card Master Branch.

“If it were in the past when there were only thirty to forty participating associations, it would not be an issue to add your association to the list.”

The man smiled bitterly. “However, as this year is the school anniversary and it is very special, there are many associations who are looking for a great deal. Hence, the application list is already full.”

“We are a decent association...”

Li Haoran sighed.

“Y-yes.”

The man echoed. “However, all the places have been filled.”

Li Haoran was speechless.

Damn! This didn’t make any sense?!

They were a decent association that was serious about participating in the on-campus job fair!

What to do?

It seemed that he could not complete the task assigned by his master.

In fact, the HR employee had a good working attitude. He had explained the situation to him and he even showed him the name list. There was nothing that he could do. He was unlucky to encounter such an issue.

He had no other choice but to report to Lu Ming.

“Well...”

Lu Ming pondered deeply.

He could totally understand the situation.

In the previous life, when too many companies participated in the on-campus job fair, the person-in-charge would set restrictions as well.

After all, things would go wrong if the students from 985 and 211 universities and colleges[1] joined a bogus company to sell insurance or condoms. Things would be chaotic!

To put it bluntly, the company’s reputability mattered a lot!

Over here...

The association’s comprehensive abilities mattered a lot!

Well...

It was simple.

Lu Ming hurried down to the Human Resources Department and took a look at the so-called approved name list. “If I challenge one of the associations and win, can I replace them to be put on the list?”

“It can be done, but...”

The man paused and looked at him suspiciously. “Are you sure?”

How could one prove their association’s abilities?

It was very simple!

Disciples would challenge each other! This was a representation of the association’s potential.

The managers of the associations would challenge each other! This was a representation of the limit of the association.

That was all.

However, even for the weakest association that merely signed up to grab bargains and did not have any seven-star cultivators, they still had six-star cultivators as their trump cards!

What about them?!

The Sword Card Master Association might suffer a crushing defeat!

“I am certain.”

Lu Ming had made up his mind.

“Well, then let me check.”

The staff looked through the name list and found an association that seemed to be the weakest—Energy Warrior-Masseur Association.

“I didn’t know there was such an association.”

Lu Ming was taken aback.

“Of course!”

“Since there is a Sword Card Master Association, why can’t there be a Masseur Association?”

The man was upset.

However...

At the mention of this, he made a point to introduce the association.

Energy Warrior-Masseur Association.

As the name suggested, it was a small association that was affiliated with the Energy Warriors Association and majored in deftness and nimbleness.

In the past, a terrifying fire virus raged and countless cultivators were seriously injured. No one could save them, even clerics. In the end, an Energy Warrior used special techniques to attack the victims’ back. His delicate moves and incredible energy managed to expel the fire elements!

Henceforth, this ability became popular.

The powerful Energy Warrior founded the Masseur Association and it was passed on to generation after generation.

“Well...”

Lu Ming paused briefly before he said, “Sorry for being presumptuous, but the blind masseur shop by the roadside...”

“Most of them belong to this association’s industry,” the man said truthfully.

Lu Ming was speechless.

Li Haoran was silent.

“Let’s find another association.”

Lu Ming felt somewhat helpless.

The Masseur Association did not major in combat. He could not bear to challenge them...

Although all the cultivators under this association belonged to the Energy Warriors Association that majored in physical fitness, they did not major in combat abilities and hence were simply sandbags!

Besides...

What if the other party sent a blind cultivator, should they retaliate?

He felt bad about fighting them!

“Oh?”

The man gave Lu Ming an appreciative look. He did not expect this person to be that considerate. Since that was the case, he would find someone who was suitable for them.

Hence...

He found the association that ranked third to last in terms of the size. “This will be your opponent, the Professional Airbender Association.”

Lu Ming was dumbstruck.

A-automobile repair[2]?

Damn!

Did China East Education[3] set up shop here?!

Hence...

He leaned in: “Elementalists Association-Airbender Professional Association!” was written on the name list.

...
