Chapter 535 Good News
“Ah, I heard, Houde seems to have a new principal, and it turns out it’s you.”
Manager Bian pushed the sheet on his face He put on his glasses and looked Ma Lu up and down, "Are you rich now?"
"No."
"Then what did you say?" Manager Bian turned his head and looked at the door. Cao Youyi cupped her hands and said, "Miss Cao, I'm offended."
When the group of people in indigo gowns behind him heard this, they began to gear up and swarmed up, pushing Cao Youyi aside to enter the school.
But then Malu's voice sounded again, "But I have this."
As he spoke, he took out the green stones that he dropped from the last monster fight, thirteen in total.
Qiu Tong once said that Cao Jinhua paid for this thing at the Ministry of Education, which shows that it should also be a currency.
The things in the disaster zone are far away from ordinary people, but Manager Bian, as a bank manager, still recognized the things in Ma Lu's hand.
"Is this...turquoise?"
He picked up a piece, looked at it carefully under his monocle, and said after a moment.
"It is indeed turquoise, and the quality is not bad. I told you that you still have such good things."
Ma Lu originally did not want to take out the turquoise for money, because this thing is only available in The output of the disaster zone is obviously rarer than silver coins.
But now the creditors are coming to the door, so I have to get over this situation first.
Manager Bian said, "Turkey is an indispensable raw material for talisman masters to make talismans. It is also the currency of the talisman master world. It is very easy to convert into cash and can be regarded as the equivalent of cash, but..."
His topic changed. "It's not enough. The total turquoise you have on hand should be worth three to four thousand yuan, but Principal Cao borrowed five thousand yuan from our bank.
"Including interest, the total is 5,371 yuan and 4 cents. Rounding it up, even if you get 5,371 yuan, you are still short of more than 1,000 yuan. ”
“Then add this. "Ma Lu took out another glowing leaf. These were the trophies he got from the disaster belt last time, and they were registered in the Talisman Master Association.
Ma Lu even linked Cardcaptor Sakura to The roots were packed, and I didn't care about a single leaf, so I just put them here with the turquoise stones and didn't take them back.
"This is... a rare talisman-making material?"
It was also the first time for Manager Bian to see such a magical leaf. He couldn't help but look at it a few more times, but he quickly withdrew his gaze and revealed a A look of embarrassment.
"We are just a small bank and cannot evaluate the value of the materials for making talismans."
"It doesn't matter, I know where to buy this thing." Cao Youyi said, "Manager Bian, didn't you say Is it okay to pay before today?”
Manager Bian hesitated, then nodded, “Then I’ll give you one more night. If you can’t raise the money before sunrise, don’t blame us. Sold that school building to the Salt Gang.”
After he finished speaking, he ignored those indigo gowns and hurried down the mountain.
Seeing that Manager Bian was gone, the people from the Salt Gang looked at each other and could only leave in despair.
But they didn’t go too far. They stopped again halfway up the mountain and found a place to sit there. Apparently they wanted to wait and see whether Houde could pay back the money before dawn. .
Cao Youyi ignored those people. She just looked at Malu and said lightly, "You are back."
"I am back," Ma Lu said, "That group of people just now are famous heroes. Was it sent by the group to cause trouble?”
Cao Youyi nodded slightly, "Railway Bank Pingcheng Branch actually had a good relationship with us before, otherwise my brother would not have gone to them to borrow money." This time they suddenly asked us to repay the loan in advance, and their attitude was tough. There must be someone behind it. As for the Salt Gang, they are a group of gangsters who will do anything for money. ”
“But Houde is, after all, a regular Talisman Master school recognized by the Ministry of Education, and there are also many Talisman Masters in the school. They may not dare to really attack us. More You should still test the reality, especially your reality. "
Cao Youyi paused, "The more than five thousand yuan is what the school owes you. I will pay you back when I have money in the future. "
The next half of what she said was not very confident. Who in Pingcheng doesn't know that Houde is a bottomless pit.
The Cao family is the best example. Cao Jinhua invested all his family property, but he still couldn't stop the decline of Houde. Before his death, he owed money to the bank and had to pay it back to his successor, Malu.
Ma Lu doesn't care. He won't live in this plane for a long time and doesn't value money that much. Moreover, if his plan can be implemented smoothly, the school will not be short of money in the future.
In fact, Cao Youyi brought him good news later.
The Ministry of Education's reform rules have come out. In the future, when the disaster zone is cleaned up, not only will everything gained go to the school, but a corresponding amount of cash rewards will also be distributed according to the level.
In other words, if you conquer the disaster zone today, the Ministry of Education will give you money. Although it is not too much, there is still 500 yuan for the first-level disaster zone.
At least the round trip expenses will be reimbursed, and there will be a lot of surplus. In addition, the top ten in the end will get another reward based on the total amount cleaned.
But this reward has nothing to do with Malu, because it is only given out once a year, and the key is one year later.
In addition, in order to encourage competition among schools, the Ministry of Education also decided to trial a challenge system.
To put it simply, schools can quickly improve their ranking in the Ministry of Education through challenges.
Originally, the Ministry of Education’s university rankings were updated every six months, but after the introduction of the challenge system, the rankings of schools changed in real time, and the rankings of both parties who succeeded in the challenge could be interchanged.
This was a major benefit to Malu, and he was greatly surprised.
Because rising rankings can bring him education points, and the number is quite a lot. The change was too slow in the past six months, and officials from the Ministry of Education judged it from multiple dimensions based on the school's size, teachers, financial status... to judge.
It is not easy to improve the school ranking, but now you can rise as long as you succeed in the challenge.
For a school like Houde, which is at the bottom of the ladder, there is no need to defend, just let go and attack.
However, Cao Youyi is not optimistic about this, especially when she learned that in the future, funding from the Ministry of Education will also be linked to school rankings, and financial subsidies may be canceled for lower-ranking schools.
This is tantamount to worsening the already poor financial situation of Houde.
But she just reminded Ma Lu, and then she was busy looking for someone to buy the luminous leaves and turquoise.
Ma Lu first went to the scientific research laboratory and took a look at the newly released [Practical Combat is the Best Teacher] and [Practice with Weight].
Practical combat is the best teacher: after each actual combat, corresponding education points will be provided based on the number of students participating in the combat. The first-level disaster belt provides 2 points for each person, the second-level disaster belt provides 4 points for each person, and the third-level disaster belt provides 8 points for each person...
Practice with weight: temporarily reduce the physical strength of teachers and students participating in the battle by 50% and 50% of mental power, in exchange for the effect of doubling education points after the battle.
Very good, the prerequisites for earning education points have been met. The next step is to find a way to defeat the monsters and lords in the disaster zone.
With the combat effectiveness of Houde teachers and students now halved, it is obviously impossible to do this.
But it doesn’t matter, Malu already had a way to deal with it, and then he turned his attention to a prop in the prop shop.
