A Top Scholar in Everything

Baiyu's words were quickly put into action.

After all.

The new president had just taken office.

They say a new official burns three fires upon taking office.

Who would dare to find trouble at this time might roll up their mat and leave the next day.

Furthermore, being expelled from an organization like the Veterans Mutual Aid Association would severely impact one's future record.

Even a noble lady like Shang Yufei, who usually has a temper, fears nothing, dared not say much at this moment.

Facing Baiyu, she never seemed able to muster any momentum.

Could it be due to the other party's good looks?

...

This was the first time the members of the Mutual Aid Association had done such a thing.

Apparently.

The reaction from the others wasn't as intense as expected.

Besides a few women crying and complaining, not many veterans accused this approach.

It seems there are still many whose hearts are bright.

Moreover.

The behavior of these women was truly appalling.

Who would want their corpse used as a tool for extortion after death, smelly and carried by descendants?

And thereafter.

The Mutual Aid Association's intervention in hosting the funeral made the last bit of odd noise disappear.

Of course, some still try to stir up trouble.

These people.

After Baiyu arrested a few typical cases, they went silent.

...

A few days later.

In Villiduo Shelter, Shang Yufei beamed and said: "President, as you said, indeed.

Those few women have stopped making trouble.

As long as we present ourselves firmly and cover all aspects.

They can't find any fault."

Baiyu nodded.

It was free treatment after all, and the medical expenses of the Mutual Aid Association were immense each year.

Where does it go?

If not on the cost of providing free medical care.

Despite this.

There are still people causing medical disturbances, hoping to carve out a piece of flesh.

It's simply perplexing.

"In the future, if such things occur, handle them this way."

Baiyu instructed: "However, if compensation is genuinely required, give it without shortchanging.

Also.

For families in particular hardship, assistance can be granted.

The foundation of our standing is the trust and support of veterans.

Entrust this matter to you.

There must be a human touch, but for those who just cause trouble, there's no need to show leniency."

Such matters hinge on discretion.

Going too far.

Even if you are in the right, you might end up being wrong.

After all, society isn't cold rules; much humanity is involved.

After agreeing, Shang Yufei hurriedly turned around and continued handling affairs.

As Baiyu found himself idle once more.

Indeed, being the president doesn't require much worrying.

The ministers under him have handled things well.

Affairs managed by secretaries?

It seemed he only needed to cultivate?

Indeed.

Recent events have greatly impacted his cultivation progress.

Of course, this was inevitable.

But going forward, Baiyu should become free.

He had already planned to become an Elite Level Martial Artist and explore the Dream Realm.

The Dream Realm is a place where one can contact Divine Spirits.

In this world.

In the end, power speaks; identity, fame, etc., crumble under power.

Yet Baiyu wasn't powerful enough to shatter it all through sheer might.

So he could only leverage his status as an aristocrat to smooth his cultivation path further.

He lately sensed it.

After leaving school, the cost of gaining knowledge increased.

Much of the advanced mysticism knowledge was monopolized by notable forces.

Wanting to learn.

Requires paying a higher price.

Like researching historical records at the Anomaly Bureau requires Contribution Points.

Want Ancient Mechanical Technique, joining the Mechanical Cult is necessary.

Rely solely on self-study?

Prof. Yi Xian researched for years, yet barely understood Ancient Mechanical Technique.

She had learned almost all existing Mechanical Technique.

However.

The Mechanical Cult can create mechanical creatures, Titan Combat Armor, and Forbidden Armament...

Currently, half of the Forbidden Armament are excavated relics repaired by the Mechanical Cult.

Even.

It's said the Mechanical Cult can create Forbidden Armament.

Ancient Mechanical Technique firmly controlled by this group; without being one of them, forget about learning any part of it.

Monopolized knowledge.

In this world, monopolizing knowledge is monopolizing the path upward...

Baiyu pondered silently.

His current identity is somewhat complex.

Veterans Mutual Aid Association President, the Third Prince's trusted aide, Imperial Lord.

Impossible to join these extraordinary organizations.

Because.

His actions would trigger many chain reactions.

Settling as president and just passing time?

If he causes anything beyond expectation, surely a storm would ensue.

Therefore.

Baiyu thought his breakthrough lies within the Dream Realm.

Of course.

Also relying on Scholarly Space.

Thinking of space.

Baiyu comfortably reclined in his chair, closed his eyes and meditated, his consciousness slowly immersed in space.

The entire space was incredibly serene.

Baiyu carefully checked the task panel.

Among the three tasks, except for Nightmare Difficulty with no clear goal, the other two were related to his Sequence Magic Elixir as a Fanatical Scholar.

The simple task was to continue publishing papers and break a certain reading volume, causing a response.

Baiyu felt this task somewhat unsuitable for him.

Not mentioning last paper's publication relied on Yi Xian's reputation and novelty to complete.

Such things.

Are purely luck-based.

Baiyu racked his brains thinking it might ultimately not cause any reaction, not to mention writing papers is exhausting work.

Ending up with nothing after much effort.

Baiyu didn't want that.

Elite Level task seemed more interesting.

Having him pursue ancient texts, explore historical mysteries.

It appears the space's task assignments are aiding his digestion of the Fanatical Scholar Sequence Magic Elixir?

Once digested.

He must undertake the Nightmare Task to acquire the next formula for Fanatical Scholar.

"Accept first; there might be an opportunity later."

Baiyu readily took the Elite task.

He glanced at the entrance of the Dream Battlefield at West Blue Corner, but clearly, it wasn't the time to explore the Dream Realm.

Furthermore.

His previous eerie experience in the forest urged Baiyu to exercise caution with the Dream Battlefield.

Though entering as a Spirit Body.

Yet.

From the last incident, staying cautious is paramount.

The Dream Realm is the abode of Divine Spirits.

Any bizarre occurrence could happen, not daring to proceed as carelessly as before.

Last time he questioned Anselin.

The Giant King's daughter asserted that even as a Spirit Body, one could be manipulated.

Certain ancient magic, witchcraft.

Could control the Spirit Body.

This is why Baiyu hasn't overly explored the Dream Realm thus far,

Though the secrets of those Divine Spirits inside are tantalizing, offering immense benefits.

But.

One's life lost, indeed is lost.

He planned to wait until becoming an Elite Level Martial Artist and Sequence Seven before further exploration.

Then.

His mental resilience would be greatly enhanced.

As for the method of advancement, through his repeated inquiries with seniors, and insights from Qiong Xue, who has experience, along with researching historical records, it was confirmed.

This method.

Poses at least ninety percent certainty for success.
