Chapter 26: The nature of all organizations
As night approached, the sun on the edge of the horizon looked like blood. Rays of remains flowed into the school where about fifty students were sitting upright. On the stage above, the academy elders read out names one by one, handing out pocket money to them.
This is a weekly subsidy of the academy where every seven days the allowance will be distributed. It can be said that it is financial assistance for these young teenagers. After all with their ability, to feed and raise their own Gu was a lot of financial stress.
"Gu Yue Fang Yuan." The older one reads aloud.
Fang Yuan got up from the chair by the window in the last row. He walked onto the stage, receiving two bags of money. In one bag there are three ancient stones – clan pocket money. The other bag contained a gift of ten ancient stones.
"Work hard" said the elder. He looked at Fang Yuan deeply. Fang Yuan continued to reach number one, and this made the elders who were initially disappointed in him start to notice a little.
Fang Yuan nodded his head and took the wallet into his arms, returning to his seat.
“Damn it, he actually got number one again ..” Gu Yue Mo Bei directed his gaze at Fang Yuan firmly, his heart somewhat angry.
“The two moon swords consecutively hit the doll's neck. Is this due to sheer luck or real skill? ” Gu Yue Chi Cheng narrowed his eyes. From the end of the assessment until now, this question had floated in his mind.
Not only was he – many students involuntarily turned their gazes towards Fang Yuan. This question haunts them. Even though they had lost, their hearts were not satisfied and they wanted to question what had really happened.
When the day was about to end, the academy elder announced a matter. “You've all been in the academy for quite some time now, and you're also familiar with how to use your vital Gu. In the next few days I will teach you all how to warm and nurture your openings, advancing Master Gu's cultivation realm. The higher the realm of Master Gu, the more concise your primordial essence will be. Master Gu of rank one had a green copper primeval essence; master Gu of rank two had a red iron primordial essence and Master Gu of rank three had a white silver primordial essence. A single serving of red iron primordial essence was comparable to ten servings of green copper primordial essence. Similarly a portion of the white silver primordial essence was equal to ten servings of red iron primordial essence!
“You all have to remember, Gu is just the tool we use. Cultivation is our foundation, Master Gu. The higher your ranking, the stronger the Gu you can use. In the next three months, anyone who could take the lead and be promoted to the middle stage one stage would receive a reward of thirty ancient stones. At the same time he would be able to choose the second Gu first. After three months, we will select a class supervisor and two class supervisory representatives based on the results. Class monitors will enjoy a ten stone primeval subsidy while class representative monitors will get five perks! All right, that's all for today. You can all go.”
The words of the elder made the academy explode with noise.
“Only choose class monitor and class monitor representative!” Someone clenched his fists in excitement.
“The class monitor receives ten ancient stones every seven days, and the class monitor representative gets five pieces? If I could be the first to reach the middle stage one rank, I would definitely be able to become a class monitor. ” The other has light in his eyes.
“Purpose stone is not an important focus. The important thing here is the position of the class monitor and representative of the class monitor – it represents glory and puts one's identity above others.When normal students look at the class monitor, the class monitor, they should all bow down and greet him.” Gu Yue Mo Bei and Chi Cheng did not lack ancient stones, but they considered the glory of the position very important.
“To be a class monitor, without mistake it is the first person to rise to the rank one of the first intermediate level! That means when big brother sees me in the future, he has to bend down and automatically greet me. Wait, where's brother? ” Gu Yue Fang Zheng subconsciously looked back, but Fang Yuan's seat was empty.
The students walked out of the academy.
"Where is Gu Yue Fang Yuan?" Gu Yue Mo Bei wanted to look for Fang Yuan and ask him directly. Yet Fang Yuan was one step ahead and had long since left.
“Hmph, he really got away quickly. Is he scared? Looks like he got lucky again in the exam today.” Gu Yue Chi Cheng sneered.
These two figures were his true enemies, while Fang Yuan was only a small C-class talent; he was unequal.
“In the first two times, Fang Yuan got lucky and got number one. However this time it was a cultivation test, and the focus was on cultivation talent. When talent was higher, the advantage became much greater, ”though Gu Yue Chi Cheng, was depressed in his heart. His true class talent was only C class; it was only because of the cheating that made him obtain the illusion of having a B grade.
“Only a class monitor and two class representative monitoring positions make them itchy. How hot-blooded and naive they were at this age, ”Fang Yuan sneered while leaning against the academy's gate.
The so-called glory was simply a valuable tool that the upper levels used to motivate the people below them. In the end, it was just a layer of illusory glory, it was useless!
His experience of five hundred years had long allowed Fang Yuan to grasp some of the secrets of life.
“Whether it comes to a clan, a sect or a group of demons, whether it is this world or this earth, all organizations are like this. High and low positions are set, making the promotion law clear, letting people in the organization rise endlessly from the bottom. Because the pursuit of profit is human nature, and the position of authority often leaves people with an edge, creating the illusion that oneself lives a more precious life than anyone else
“Power is like a carrot dangling in front of a donkey. Human desires are stimulated by it, and each of them secures their personal gain with someone authorized for it. After rising one level, there will be a higher level. While they are busy seeking help for personal gain, their hard work is squeezed out of them and their value is exploited by the top position.”
“In every organization, as long as there is a chain of command, it is to serve those who are in the top rank. The so-called class monitor and vice-class monitor position were like the smallest carrot, luring everyone into the clan structure. And to stop those who are under realizing the truth, those in higher positions integrate shared values, cutting off ideas of glory, good deeds, etc. The setting of high and low positions is done in conjunction with unequal benefits. Sometimes the use of religion is done to control the hearts of people.”
“This is the real truth, but it is unfortunate that too many people in this world do not understand; they foolishly work hard for others. And for every organization in the world, its most basic essence is just one thing, namely – Redistribution of resources, where the higher the position, the more resources they can enjoy.”
In his previous life, Fang Yuan had established the Bloodwing Demon Sect in the Middle Kingdom, where he taught up to tens of thousands of people. He established positions of demon soldiers, demon generals, demon sages, etc. Each position provided a corresponding benefit, letting many people gather like ducks, letting Fang Yuan rule them. This kind of experience allowed Fang Yuan to clearly understand the way of thinking in this principle.
“So any organization is just a representation, while the actual base is just one word – resource. Without food, one would die of hunger. Without water, one would die of thirst. Without cultivation resources, one would become weak and sooner or later, be intimidated to death. ”
"And as for a Master Gu, ancient stones are the most important resource!" Fang Yuan's two orbs were extremely deep like an ancient pond, and the moment his mind reached this point, the corners of his lips curved slightly, creating a line of scorn.
He had long since left the academy, and he was currently standing at the entrance gate of the school. He saw the first wave of students come out, gradually walking closer towards him.
"This is Fang Yuan."
"What's he doing in the middle of the gate?"
"Hmph, every time I see his dysfunctional state die, I feel very upset."
"Don't worry about him, he's probably waiting for someone."
Young teenagers don't notice it. Just as they were about to walk, Fang Yuan stepped up and blocked them. “I loot. Everyone had to hand over a piece of ancient stone before they could leave. ”
