Chapter 302 Fellow Travelers (Bonus Chapter, Please Vote!)
The grandmasters all looked at Lu Hao with approval. At this moment, Lu Hao was no longer their student or their junior, but a fellow traveler who was moving forward with them and paving the way for humanity.
"Young Lu, I thank you on behalf of the soldiers fighting on the front lines," Wu Kuishan said, giving Lu Hao a martial arts salute. The other grandmasters around him also gave a martial arts salute.
Lu Hao quickly returned the salute with a martial arts salute.
"Grandmasters, there's no need for that. I believe you would have done the same if you were in that situation."
Lu Hao said.
"No, it's different. If we old folks had this kind of resource, although we'd also disperse, we'd definitely distribute it to places we're familiar with."
"Instead of distributing it directly and evenly like you did," Huang Jing said. "It's the same, Principal Huang, I also have my own selfish motives. I still left four tons of energy stones to provide to Magic Martial Arts University, didn't I?"
"You can't say that. Nobody's perfect. Being able to contribute the majority is already quite remarkable. From now on, you can truly be called a grandmaster. You won't be proud of Magic Martial Arts anymore; Magic Martial Arts will be proud of you."
Wu Kuishan was praising them as if they were free, and he was desperately trying to spread the word.
Lu Hao, on the other hand, kept "modestly" saying it was nothing.
I felt like I was flying high inside from all the praise.
"Alright, teachers, stop praising me. Your contributions to humanity are no less than mine. If you keep praising me, I'll fly to the sky. Let's discuss how to use the resources of Magic Martial Arts School as quickly as possible."
Lu Hao interrupted them, saying that if they kept praising him, he felt like he was going to get carried away.
"Lu Hao, are you really going to use all four tons of energy stones on Magic Martial Arts? Don't you need any for yourself?" Wu Kuishan asked again, after all, four tons of energy stones were too much.
"Yes, all four tons are poured into Magic Martial Arts. As for myself, I don't need many energy stones. I also have rare and precious materials that I exchanged with Minister Zhang, which is more than enough. But I have a small request: we can't hoard them. We have to use up this batch of energy stones as quickly as possible. We have to burn the energy stones directly and use them up as quickly as possible. And they must be used on the people who should use them. There can be no favoritism or any improper distribution." Huang Jing pondered, "If we use them as quickly as possible and distribute them, the utilization rate will not be maximized, and a lot of resources may be wasted." For grandmasters like them who came from the past, they always put the utilization rate of resources to the maximum.
"There's nothing we can do about wasting time. We don't have much time left. I learned from Minister Zhang that the full-scale war in the underground world is only two or three years away at most."
Are we not using it now, but saving it for the underground cave later? So even if it's a waste, we have to use it; time is running out.
Lu Hao said.
As for whether it was Zhang Tao who said it, the fact that he said it is Zhang Tao's statement. Indeed, a trip to the Ministry of Education yielded many benefits; any problems can be attributed to Zhang Tao.
Zhang Tao: I...you...
The masters looked at each other, and they all understood.
They received too much news today, from Fang Ping's reforms at the beginning, to the brain, then the nuclear positioning method, the allocation of divine weapons, and finally the shock brought by resources and energy stones. Now Lu Hao has dropped another bombshell: the underground cave will start a full-scale war in two or three years. "Minister Zhang really said that there are only two or three years left?" Huang Jing said in disbelief.
All other circumstances pale in comparison to this news; this is what truly matters.
"Indeed, this is the timeline that Minister Zhang deduced based on information from various sources."
Zhang Tao: I didn't! I didn't say anything! I'm going to sue you for taking out a loan!
"As you all probably know, our underground cave has a total of 108 passages. How many of them have been opened so far?"
The time for a full-scale war is really not far off, so the great war is just around the corner, only two or three years away.
Minister Zhang is already continuing the calculations, and it is estimated that the strategic resource reserves will be activated soon. Don't be afraid of the consumption; if we win, we can have anything we want; if we lose, what good are all the resource reserves?
Lu Hao said.
"this-.
"Teachers, time waits for no one. It's not that I don't want to develop slowly, it's just that time is running out. We might be able to use up the resources I brought back as quickly as possible thanks to Fang Ping's reforms. The improvement in the teachers' and students' abilities will definitely not be a problem. Once my resources are used up, I estimate we'll be able to see even more."
Then we can be even more determined to go all in.
"Alright, we'll do as you say. We'll use up the resources you brought back as quickly as possible to enhance the strength of Magic Martial Arts," Wu Kuishan finally decided.
"By the way, all the grandmasters should keep this matter a secret, just like the brain core positioning method. After all, the martial arts have not been fully announced yet. If the news gets out, it will not only cause panic among the lower-level martial artists, but also cause chaos among ordinary people outside," Lu Hao said.
"Don't worry, we know what's important—"
The group then proposed different solutions on how to consume resources most quickly.
Lu Hao's plan was to take out one ton of energy stones and bury them underground, then set up some mental barriers around them to allow the energy to directly fill the entire Magic Martial City. As for the remaining three tons of energy stones, he would melt them directly in the Magic Martial City to make them into energy liquid, and then burn them to release energy, so that the energy of the Magic Martial City would exceed that of the Underground Royal City. The downside of doing this was that the energy would be consumed very quickly, and it might not even last half a month before it was all used up.
Wu Kuishan's proposed method was to distribute energy stones, giving everyone a basic ten grams, and then allowing them to receive additional energy stones each time they broke through a cultivation level.
At the same time, use energy stones to increase the rewards for completing tasks. Distribute all the energy stones to reduce consumption while increasing the rewards.
Ultimately, after discussion, it was decided that one ton of energy stones would be buried underground to provide energy, one ton of energy stones would be used to enhance mission completion and various advancement rewards, and two tons of energy stones would be melted down instead of being burned directly, and would be used as resources for students to exchange for at a very low price, but requiring proof of mission completion. This way, students could improve their combat power slightly while their realm was being raised. Even if it was a case of forcing growth, they had to improve first, and then their strength would naturally stabilize in battle.
As for the rare and precious materials that Lu Hao brought, they were used to incentivize the students and mentors to compete. Those who reached the corresponding level first would naturally receive the rare and precious materials, while those who came later would not. They could not blame others but themselves.
The final arrangement was made, and it will be implemented directly after tomorrow's mentor meeting. As for the resources, at Lu Hao's insistence, they were transformed into the accumulated resources of Magic Martial Arts over decades, and only the mentors know the source of these resources.
Lu Hao didn't want to be treated like royalty from then on. After all, a little kindness is appreciated, but too much can breed resentment. There would always be people dissatisfied with the resources they received, and they would resent Lu Hao for not giving them enough.
