Chapter 236

Even though a crazy incident was occurring— the God of Light devouring the Mother of Sea—it did not cause Goddess of Wealth’s mood to turn sour and change Her original plans . She still sent out the promised teachers .

This batch of teachers consisted of eight people . They were experts who were good with ledgers and counting when they were still living . Amongst them, there was more than one officer whose name was remembered by later generations . Sui Xiong gave them each a body to avoid scaring people . They had been turned into Godly creatures and had not possessed physical bodies for some time . They were all quite happy, expressing that this was an experience that was hard to come by, and that it was very interesting .

With this batch of high-level teachers (probably the highest level in the history of mankind), the “Federation of Accounting College” was successfully formed as the first campus of the New Asian Comprehensive Technical School .

Those who were willing to learn first needed basic knowledge from the main campus, including the official language and common mathematics . After completing their basic knowledge lessons, they would go to the accounting school campus to learn accounting skills . That would take one year of schooling . Within this year, they would need to learn about products from all places on the mainland along with their prices, some simple and yet important local customs, writing and checking ledgers, calculating profits and taxes, and last but not least the most advanced knowledge: financial budgeting .

Of course, all these things were to happen progressively . Only when they learned the simple topics well would teachers move to advanced topics . And only when they had learned all other topics with great results would teachers instruct in financial budgeting .

The current graduates who were supposed to be sent out to become local clerks were being gathered to learn accounting . They were all very glad to be learning an extra set of skills and showed tremendous passion for learning .

Just how hardworking were they? It was not as if their heads were hanging off the beams or that they were sitting on thorns in agony . But it was not unusual that they’d purposely sleep uncomfortably, to sleep lightly . In fact, most of the students did not even average four hours of sleep per day . They used all their might to learn desperately . Thankfully the school was close to church and pastors could arrive as problems arose . Otherwise, they were afraid that someone might overwork themselves and die of exhaustion .

Sui Xiong had asked the pastors to talk to them many times, and these students had promised to rest well . But once they turned around they were working hard and learning again . They were all like dried sponges, absorbing all the water they could get to quickly make themselves be more fulfilled and saturated with information .

Even then there were not many who actually had outstanding results .

After one year, only four students out of the batch of 400 could learn financial budgeting .

Surrounding these four students were Leon the archon of Garth City, Olian the lord of Geerteng City, and Rhode, the financial supervisor of Void Mask Theme Park . The three of them had to fight over the graduates, and no one was willing to back down .

At the moment, they could not even think of their friendship . They all wanted the last top graduate to join them in addition to taking in one top student each .

A talented person proficient in finances and accounts, and could even make qualified financial budgeting, was more valuable than gold wherever he went . The three of them even kept the news to themselves with implicit understanding . Even though they were arguing badly inside the conference room, they’d laugh and joke with each other in public without mentioning anything at all .

In the end, the three argued until they reached Sui Xiong . Sui Xiong considered carefully before giving the last top graduate to Leon because his work was really busy . Garth City was developing well these years and the financial jobs were getting more plentiful . He really needed more talented people .

And yet, Rhode and Olian both complained quite a while privately . They had already planned to take action as soon as possible during the next batch of accounting graduates and recruit the best talents for themselves!

As for the average graduates, they had also been widely welcomed . The nobles and chambers of commerce who received the news were all skeptical initially, but they soon found out that these young people who were proficient with accounting were really excellent . They were especially loyal to their duties . This made employers extremely happy and satisfied .

As a result, the first batch of 200 graduates was taken in . There were even a number of nobles who contacted the school directly, hoping that they could reserve a few students in advance .

“You will need to wait another four years,” Principal Wor said . Of course, He used a clone whom common people couldn’t recognize, as well as an alias .

Medium and small-sized nobles thought, only four years; we can afford to wait!

They had already suffered long due to the lack of suitable financial supervisors and could afford to be patient .

On the other hand, wealthy and powerful nobles and bigger Chambers of Commerce expressed their interests to invest in the school, to expand the school . They hoped that there would be a batch of graduates per year, so they could get enough financial staff as soon as possible .

Sui Xiong did not blindly agree to their requests because he felt that it should be waited out to see if this batch of graduates could actually help society improve or not . Then, only he would decide if the school should expand .

These graduates were mostly working for big nobles and big businessmen, and this worried him a little . He was not sure if training the talents was helping a bad cause .

It was better to be more cautious .

Even though the accounting school produced a batch of students every four years, he could still use a different time schedule to make other technical schools .

The name “New Asian” did not have to only cover accounting .

Computing and others were not possible . But I should at least make a culinary school!

A culinary school would have fewer requirements in comparison with an accounting school because the focus was different . Being a chef would not require a high level of cultural knowledge . But the craft was even more important than accounting . So Sui Xiong adjusted the course duration to three years for a batch: one year of basic knowledge and the remaining two years learning culinary skills .

There was much more content in culinary school . It not only included the recognition and preparation of cooking materials, but also seasoning of various flavors and cooking techniques . Leon and Olian gathered the past school graduates from both Garth City and Geerteng City to ask if they were interested in learning culinary arts . Most of the graduates were willing to spend another two years learning a reliable craft . They already saved one year’s time by learning basic knowledge .

The principal for the culinary school campus was Javier’s clone . The God of Joy was not joyful as of late . Even though he appeared in various celebrations, he showed little interest . When He was around His close friends, He took off His mask of joy to reveal a heavy heart of depression and worry .

The death of the Mother of Sea was only one of the reasons He was depressed . He worried about the progressive future of the entire Human God system .

The God of Light was an extremely strong-willed God . While He was only a normal member amongst the Human God system, He could not accept any opposing commentary . Now that He had devoured the Mother of Sea, He gained the power to control mankind . Even if nobody understood how powerful this could be, it must have promoted His power .

So… what was He going to do?

Among the Human God system, His position was the highest point . Amongst the Gods, He was already recognized as one of the strongest . Considering His newly obtained powers, perhaps He was now only second to the Number One Expert of Strong Divine Power, the master of the Order, also known as “The Great Holy Power . ”

What would he do with this power now that He had gotten it?

“Maybe He will conquer,” Morani guessed, “or maybe He is planning to start a war with the God of Orcs . Does He want to completely defeat this major opponent in the long history of Human God system?”

This guess was very reasonable and logical . In fact, most of Gods also predicted this .

And yet, things were often unpredictable . While the God of Light was still silent, the Orc God system had already taken action . They announced a God’s order to have the empire launch a full-scale attack on the Eagle Kingdom .

Thus, the war began!
