Chapter 539 Strong Medicine
Before setting off, Ma Lu fulfilled his promise and gave away the reward for this surprise exam.
The first place will receive 100 yuan, the second place will receive 70 yuan, the third to fifth place will receive 50 yuan, and the sixth to tenth place will each receive 30 yuan.
The total amount was 470 yuan. Ma Lu placed a suitcase full of silver coins on the desk in front of him. Students whose names were called could come up to collect the money.
The box of white silver dollars was quite a visual impact, especially for Houde, who had been financially tight. The teachers and students almost forgot how long it had been since they had seen so much money.
The silver dollars on the table were sent by Pingcheng Branch of Railway Bank.
Cao Youyi packaged the leaves of the ever-changing Sakura and the thirteen turquoise stones and sold them to a Talisman Master Chamber of Commerce. The other party offered a total purchase price of 6,731 yuan. After checking that there were no problems, she sold them on the spot. A check was written.
Cao Youyi took the check and paid off Cao Jinhua's debt, and the remaining money was converted into cash according to Ma Lu's words, totaling one thousand three hundred and sixty yuan.
However, the money came quickly and was spent quickly. In the blink of an eye, Malu had already scattered nearly 500 yuan in bonuses.
And after deciding to go to the next city to clean up the disaster zone, Cao Youyi also contacted the horse and carriage company and rented 10 carriages. This was another expense. Ma Lu also told her to do more in the future. Purchasing a batch of consumables for making talismans is basically all the money spent.
Cao Youyi is used to living a life of careful budgeting, but she is not used to spending money like this lavishly.
During the period, she asked Malu whether she wanted to reduce some of the rewards or take fewer people out, but she was rejected by Malu.
Although Ma Lu now plans to earn education points by using virtuous students as pendants to quickly clear disaster zones, he does not want to give up the education points produced by cultivating students normally.
What's more, the Ministry of Education has newly opened a challenge system, which can quickly improve the school's ranking, and this also requires students to have corresponding strength.
It’s just that Houde has been sinking for too long. Most of the students and teachers here are used to lying flat, and the whole school has no energy.
If you want to break this sluggish atmosphere, you have to take strong medicine.
Ma Lu was not completely talking nonsense before. He went deep into the disaster zone and made these students who were dawdling in the school feel the threat of danger and death, forcing them to improve their strength in order to survive.
This was originally one of Malu's purposes.
But pressure alone is not enough. Over time, it will inevitably lead to resistance and rebound, so incentives must also keep up.
This is why Ma Lu must reward the top ten in this test, and he also plans to normalize and expand this reward.
There will be a monthly exam every month, and not just the top ten, but as long as the scores improve, corresponding cash rewards will be given based on the extent of progress.
Not only are students rewarded, but teachers are also rewarded. Ma Lu divided the 40 students except Cao Jiajia into two waves and gave them to two teachers, Zhong and Jing respectively. From now on, the results of these students will be related to their Bonuses are tied.
As for Cao Jiajia, Houde’s only second-class qualification, Ma Lu left it to Cao Youyi for tutoring alone.
After all these actions, the message he wanted to convey was already clear - the school is different from the past, there is no longer a shortage of money, and there will no longer be a shortage of people who want to study and work hard in the future. resources will be vigorously cultivated by the school.
He did not make a long speech, but directly completed his opening speech with practical actions, and showed everyone the future development direction of Houde.
After receiving so much stimulation and information at once, all the teachers and students were a little confused and their moods were different. However, they still completed the assembly within two hours in accordance with the new principal's requirements.
Because this was the first operation, and all members were mobilized, Cao Youyi was worried that Ma Lu would not be able to take care of so many students, so she asked the two teachers to follow.
Ma Lu doesn't care. Although the teacher will not produce education points, under the influence of Majesty Candy, it can also provide him with bonuses and contribute to his strength. When everyone arrived, the carriage stopped at the foot of Shouyang Mountain.
Ma Lu took the teachers and students of the school and rushed to Jiyang City next door under the cover of night.
Jiulongyi detected that a disaster would come here in the near future and issued an early warning three days ago.
Cao Youyi submitted the cleanup application as soon as possible according to Ma Lu's instructions.
According to the information provided by the Early Warning Section, what appeared in Jiyang City this time was a first-level disaster zone, which was one level lower than the disaster zone that Malu and Qiutong dealt with last time.
It stands to reason that the monsters and lords inside will be weaker.
In addition, Jiulongyi also detected that the monsters in the disaster zone are afraid of gold, which means that gold-based talismans will be more effective in battle.
However, Malu just glanced at the information in his hand and put it aside.
Human beings in this plane have discovered the disaster zone for nearly a hundred years, and the early warning and detection methods for the disaster zone have become increasingly perfect.
In particular, the successful development of the Nine-Dragon Instrument allows the Talisman Masters to master many key information before going deep into the disaster zone, which greatly improves the success rate of the Talisman Masters in clearing the disaster zone.
However, Jiulongyi's prediction is not completely accurate. There will be deviations of about 3 times out of 100 warnings.
Cao Jinhua initially believed too much in Jiulongyi's predictions, thinking that he was entering a first-level disaster zone, and the monsters in it happened to be the ones he was good at dealing with.
Coupled with the fact that Houde was severely short of money, he took over the cleanup task.
Unfortunately, he was unlucky and caught up with the 3% error, and eventually died in the disaster zone.
Ma Lu didn’t want to repeat his mistakes and only used the information given by Jiulong Yi as a reference. Unfortunately, he didn’t have any extra education points, otherwise he could have pointed out the [Disaster Forecast] in the scientific research laboratory.
This way Houde can have his own disaster zone early warning system, and it will be easier for Malu to sweep away the disaster zone in the future.
But don’t be in a hurry, you have to eat the food one bite at a time and walk the road step by step.
Three hours later, a group of teachers and students with good moral character arrived in Jiyang with anxiety.
The time at this time was 3:15 in the morning, most people were still sleeping, and the whole city seemed very quiet, like a crawling beast in the darkness.
Because the disaster zone this time was located on the outskirts of the city, Malu took everyone without entering the city. He let everyone eat and take a rest under the city wall.
The patrol house guard who was responsible for guarding the disaster zone saw Houde's motorcade from a distance. One of them immediately ran towards the city gate, while the remaining older one walked away carefully with a kerosene lamp. Come up.
Ma Lu showed the opposite party the approval document from the Talisman Master Association and documents that could prove their identity.
The guard breathed a sigh of relief after checking it and handed it back respectfully with both hands.
“It turns out that I am a virtuous teacher and student, but I still thought I was a bandit nearby.”
