Chapter 251: Chapter 250: Under the Academy
Translator: 549690339
It was the once-in-a-decade student recruitment season again…
Under the academy, the teacher in charge of the student recruitment office was so anxious that his hair almost fell out, because this was the time when they were most vexed.
The federation was the most powerful official organization in the universe. It had an almost uncountable population and influence, and the schools under its influence were as numerous as the stars, those who were able to dislocate their joints in such a vast number and become famous schools would have extremely high appeal, and they would not have to worry about their students at all. No matter how expensive the tuition fees were, there would always be a large number of students who would step over the threshold and beg to enter, the reason was naturally because the number of citizens of the federation was large enough!
However, on the contrary, schools that were not famous would appear particularly bleak. Because there were too many schools, it was too easy to drown in the stars. Usually, those who chose their schools were those who did not have a choice, in the end, with the idea of trying, they chose a school that they had never even heard of.
The quality of such students was generally not good. Their natural endowments were average, and the results of their cultivation were also average. Outside of society, it was naturally harder to build a reputation for the school. Therefore, in order to make a profit, the school could only lower the salary standard of the teachers, without a salary, the teachers would naturally go to a better place. The teachers of this school would also become worse and worse, forming a vicious circle.
At the foot of the academy, they had arrived at the gate that was currently more important… …
Their academy had been established for quite some time. It was almost twenty million years old. Of course, this was naturally incomparable to those big-name academies that could move for tens of millions of eras. However, in an ordinary civilian-run academy,. It was already rare for them to be able to persist for such a long time…
The princ.i.p.al who established the Academy was a high-level slime race member called Kim. He was one of the few slime race members who had become star-grade lifeforms, the original intention of establishing the academy was to provide a platform for those indigenous students who were not born in big families to improve themselves.
In fact, most of the civilian-run academies had the same original intention. However, the reality was too cruel. Many of the academies were unable to persist. Hence, the academy was considered to be relatively well-run.
This was because the first princ.i.p.al had somehow obtained a huge amount of wealth, forcefully supporting the difficult period of losing money for the first few million years. Under the efforts of him and a group of like-minded teachers, no matter the cost.., the college still managed to nurture some relatively high-quality students.
Of course, high-quality students might not necessarily be able to do well when they went out. However, under the efforts of a million years, there were finally beginning to be returns. More and more high-quality students went out and began to make contributions and establish careers outside, after obtaining relatively high achievements, a portion of people began to think about the source of the water and began to sponsor the academy.
There were also some deity overlords who gradually learned about the good quality and low price of their students, as well as the higher quality educational resources. Hence, some deity overlords began to slowly cooperate with them.
The school… seemed to be on the right track just like that.
Just as the teachers of the older generation thought that they had finally made it out, something unexpected happened. The third overlord of the universe was discovered to be cooperating with the Void, and the First War G.o.d, Cang Yue, rose to power, with an extremely powerful stance, they swiftly annihilated the former third faction.
This incident had a huge impact. His academy was one of the schools that was affected. A large number of students who had left his academy had died in battle, and more than half of the deity overlords who had cooperated with them had died.
It had to be said that it was really a matter of luck. Although this incident was huge, it was impossible for it to affect all the factions. However, whether they died or not, their academy was the kind of school that had bad luck… …
After many years of painstaking efforts, many of the teachers’enthusiasm had instantly fallen to the freezing point. After all, they had spent millions of years from having nothing in the beginning to having some achievements later on, now that they had returned to the starting point, the blow was too great. How many people would be able to withstand it if they had to start all over again? After all, not everyone was an immortal-level life form like the princ.i.p.al. How many millions of years could one live?
Thus, some of the teachers finally started to leave, and the academy slowly began to walk to the edge of the landslide…
“Princ.i.p.al, the publicity fee in the same city of light is 140 billion for a day, and the additional publicity fee is one billion for a refresh… the monthly fee is…”
The director of the publicity department carefully reported to the princ.i.p.al that the cost-effectiveness ratio that he had selected was already considered an extremely high publicity fee.
When princ.i.p.al slime heard about the publicity fee, the healthy green all over his body turned a little green and purple. He said weakly without much confidence, “No… is it cheaper?”
There was a reason for his lack of confidence. When he founded the school back then, he was in high spirits, but after all, he had lost money for millions of years. No matter how huge his wealth was, how could it be able to withstand such consumption?
Until now, he was really at the end of the road…
He had little money left, and he could no longer throw money at the expense like before. In order to ensure the strength of the teachers, the high treatment of the teachers could not be reduced. The quality of the educational resources had to be maintained, this was also the original intention of their school.
But if they could protect one side, the other side would naturally have to make a trade-off…
The director of the publicity department saw the princ.i.p.al’s distressed look and understood very well. But understanding was understanding, reality was reality. The same city was already a relatively cheap publicity channel in this galaxy.., the other channels either had no traffic at all, or the price was even more exorbitant.
“How many students have signed up now?”The princ.i.p.al asked again.
“3,511…”. The publicity department said honestly, “More than half of them are aboriginal students from the nearby galaxies. They heard that we have tuition waivers here, so they reluctantly signed up. Of course, some parents who know the quality of our school also chose us … …”
The princ.i.p.al smelt a slime-standard jelly face and scrunched it up, mostly because of the tuition waiver, which meant that this large group of students could pay only a limited amount of tuition, and only about 3,000 students… I’m afraid it’s not even a fraction of a teacher’s salary…
Even if some of the old neighbors know the quality of their schools and are willing to send their own children, they probably value their value for money and their children’s average college entrance examination results. If they have some results, they would probably still choose a famous school outside in the end.
Thinking of this, the princ.i.p.al felt that there was no hope. Sometimes, he really wanted to give up just like that.
“What about our partners? Are there no more students coming this year?”
Once these words were said, the dean of admissions became even more embarra.s.sed. Ever since the incident with Cang Yue, more than half of the sky G.o.ds that their school had cooperated with had died. Those who had not died had all left this land that had been eroded by the void, there were very few who were willing to come from afar to continue their cooperation.
However, over the years, there had been one or two high-quality sky G.o.ds who were optimistic about them, such as wine G.o.d Lord…
However, wine G.o.d Lord had already sent three batches of students over in a row. As a lord that had risen not too long ago, although his development was extremely fast, his demand for this aspect was always limited. He could not count on others every year, right?
Seeing the Dean’s expression, the princ.i.p.al sighed. “Alright, you don’t have to say anymore…”
The entire princ.i.p.al’s office instantly fell into silence. The teachers behind them looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
“Princ.i.p.al!”At this moment, a young female teacher ran over from outside. She panted and said, “A lord came over and said that he wants to discuss a collaboration!”
“Oh?”As soon as she said this, the lifeless office instantly regained its vitality.
“What level? which galaxy? What is the collaboration project? Is it training the local Aborigines or recruiting staff for postgraduate studies?”
That woman was stunned… Then, she rubbed her hands embarra.s.sedly. “I. . . Forgot to ask about this in my excitement…”
Everyone:”…”
“But his level doesn’t seem high. He’s only level five!”
“Level five?”Everyone’s faces froze. They had lost most of their vitality just now. What was a level five Lord doing here? Nurturing black goblins?
“Forget it, even a small mosquito is meat…”the princ.i.p.al sighed. “Let’s go, take me to see…”
