Chapter 41 41 Imperial Clan, Mimicry Practice
Chi Ping envisioned two directions for obtaining initial funds for Shrek Academy. One was to develop medicinal plant cultivation, and the other was to sell light industrial machinery.
For the development of the college, medicinal materials are indispensable. Shrek Academy is an academy that trains soul masters, and soul masters cannot do without competitions and battles. In addition, in Chi Ping's plan, food supplements and medicated meals will also become a benefit of Shrek Academy in the future. Rather than relying on others, it is better to be self-reliant.
Moreover, Chi Ping is confident that relying on mycelium's ability to transform and control the land, the medicinal materials produced in the medicinal fields he has opened will definitely be among the best in terms of output, and the quality will definitely be the best!
In terms of light industrial machinery, Chi Ping definitely couldn't do it by himself, so he turned to Tang San.
When acquiring the spirit ring of the Man-Faced Demon Spider, Tang San almost hunted the spirit beast alone. At that time, he used a mechanical hidden weapon called the 'Zhuge Divine Crossbow'. Ning Rongrong and Chi Ping were talking about this handheld concealed weapon that day. Chi Ping had seen the Zhuge Divine Crossbow and knew that Tang San's mechanical design and manufacturing level was not low.
So Chi Ping put forward design requirements to Tang San. The long-term efforts paid off, and Tang San agreed to Chi Ping's request for free.
The two worked together to design drawings for a series of production and engineering machinery such as textile machines, harvesters, planters, mills and waterwheels, and then built the actual objects in the college's workshop.
Needless to say, the craftsmanship of Chi Ping and Tang San was much higher than the existing technology. After obtaining Ning Rongrong's consent and borrowing the name of the Qibao Glazed Sect Chamber of Commerce, it was robbed as soon as it was put on the market, and Shrek Academy made its first pot of gold.
When you make money, you have to spend it.
It was the beginning of spring in Douluo Calendar 2644, before the medicinal fields were put into production.
Chi Ping and Flender were walking on their way back to Shrek Academy from Soto.
"Dean, is the engineering team you hired reliable?"
The college is about to be rebuilt, and Chi Ping is worried about gains and losses.
Shrek Academy really doesn't look like an advanced soul master academy. Not to mention the various facilities, even the area is too small. So Chi Ping and Flender decided to buy all the land in Shanzhang Village and rebuild Shrek Academy on this basis. The two of them have just negotiated a land purchase agreement with the lord of Soto City.
"Don't you even look at who I am!" Flanders coaxed, "Although the Rock Elephant Engineering Team is not as good as the Yu Clan, it is still one of the best construction engineering teams in the Tiandou Empire. We know that Tiandou City is not , the Rock Elephant Engineering Team has participated in the construction of the city defense there. I, Four-Eyed Cat Eagle Flanders, have a lot of face, and besides, you have sufficient funds, otherwise I would not be able to invite people to come to the Principality of Barak."
As he spoke, Flanders felt a pain in his body.
The Yu clan specializes in defense and are highly accomplished in construction projects. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the number one construction clan in the Tiandou Empire. The Yanxiang Engineering Team is a construction engineering team led by a soul master. It has high efficiency and good technology. It is slightly worse than the Yu clan, but it is also well-known in the Tiandou Empire.
However, the asking price of the Rock Elephant Engineering Team is not generally high, and the deposit is calculated in units of 10,000 gold soul coins. If it weren't for the purpose of allowing freshmen to live in the new campus during the enrollment period in the second half of this year and successfully qualify for the Soul Master Elite Competition, he would never have hired this engineering team.
"You guys are so willing! You can sell such good technology as soon as you ask for it." Flanders said with emotion.
Selling only finished products will definitely not be enough to raise the funds to transform Shrek Academy in half a year. What Chi Ping and the others sell is technology and mechanical design drawings. The finished product is only for display effect. "If you don't get rid of the old, you won't get the new. Time waits for no one. We must complete the campus renovation before the second half of the year in order to successfully qualify for next year's elite competition. The income from the Great Fighting Spirit Arena alone can We can’t start building a campus so soon. Besides, Xiaosan and I don’t care, so why should you feel bad.”
Chi Ping is very open-minded. The machines he and Tang San are selling now mainly focus on novel ideas in mechanical structure. Such innovations are easy to copy. There is no need to hide them, they can just use them to make the first pot of gold. If it were an innovation in energy, such as being powered by electricity or soul power, he wouldn't sell it.
Flanders was still chewing his teeth.
"To put it lightly. That's nearly 200,000 gold soul coins! It flowed into the college account and flowed out again. I didn't even cover my head, and it was all gone."
Before Chi Ping joined Shrek Academy, the Great Soul Fighting Arena would not be a stable way to obtain gold soul coins. At that time, Shrek Academy was extremely poor because it did not accept the control of the nobles. In order to maintain the normal operation of Shrek Academy, Flanders developed a stingy character. It was only after Chi Ping joined Shrek and the mutual influence over time that Flanders' greed for money eased a lot.
Chi Ping advised: "But you can think on the bright side. Our Shrek Academy will soon have a new campus, new dormitories and teaching buildings, and we will also have our own mimicry training ground!"
The so-called mimic training refers to allowing the soul master to cultivate his own martial soul in an environment that is most suitable for him. Although this cannot be said to be half the result with twice the result, it can play a very good supporting role.
For example, being in a forest or a place with many plants is suitable for cultivating plant-based martial arts such as Blue Silver Grass, while the atmosphere in a restaurant kitchen is suitable for food-based martial arts. For animal soul masters, depending on their own martial souls, it will be helpful to practice with similar animals.
The specific auxiliary effect is closely related to the soul master's own martial soul. Generally speaking, the stronger the spirit itself is and the greater its potential, the more benefits it will gain from practicing in a mimicry environment.
However, Shrek Academy can only establish plant-based and food-based mimicry training sites at present, and training sites for beast soul masters such as the beast garden can only be discussed again.
In a sense, Chi Ping's mycelium is a super mimicry training ground.
Flanders sighed, "That's it. As long as it helps you little monsters, spend the money you earn."
Although Chi Ping didn't know why he was comforting Flanders instead of seeking comfort from Flanders, he was indeed in a much better mood now.
"Dean, you can fly me back directly. We still have to find a way to help Village Chief Zhang and his friends relocate the village. After all, we have been cooperating for more than 20 years. We can't just give the money and ignore it!"
The favor remains after the sale is over.
Chi Ping knows what it's like to leave your hometown. Shanzhang Village sold the village to Shrek Academy, and Chi Ping will represent the Shrek Academy to properly resettle the villagers of Shanzhang Village.
"Let's go!"
Flender used his martial soul to possess him, and grabbed Chi Ping's shoulders like a hen and flew quickly towards Shrek Academy.
