Masha sang "Official Appointment as Bi Ma Wen", and 404 laughed heartily.
"Don't worry. You have a lot of power as an official. At least we plan to give you a lot of power. But now, you may have to go to the scene first. After all, you have studied the anomalies in the orchard near your home, and you are the one who knows the most about anomalies here."
Masha always felt that there was something else behind 404's words, but he decided to play dumb.
"Okay, I'll go check it out. I've never seen a real floating island in my life."
"Really? Then you'd better take a good look at it." The response from 404 simply concluded that Masha was playing dumb.
However, 404 will not say it out loud without any concrete evidence. And they probably think it is easier to play Tai Chi with the World Government by creating a situation where "this island was formed naturally".
In the future, it is inevitable that investigators from the World Government will come to investigate, and I guess it will be left to Masha to deal with it.
Masha didn't care - it's just dealing with a few investigators, I'm good at it, I've been dealing with intelligence agencies of various countries for so long.
"Well, now that I'm the Horse Keeper, shouldn't I be given some soldiers? It would be a shame if I'm just asked to sweep the horse pens without any help, right?"
"Do you really think you're the Monkey King?" 404 said with a smile, "I'll definitely give you the soldiers. A lot of them have already been deployed near the floating island. When you go there, they will all be under your command. They are now managed by the Unconventional Natural Disaster Prevention and Control Office of the local area. You just need to go there and take over."
"Okay, but there are too many people in charge of the dispatch, and I'm just an ordinary girl, well, well..."
"Don't worry, the specific arrangements will be handled by the people we assign to you. Just give the instructions."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Masha said yes three times in a row.
In Masha's vision, these people assigned to him would be the prototype of the "outer courtyard" of the academy. The management of the outer disciples, the logistics of the academy and so on would be handed over to them.
"Oh, right," Masha said, as if he had suddenly thought of something - in fact, he had planned it long ago and was acting like this on purpose, "I want to recruit some people from the public. I need that, limited power to appoint people."
"We will approve a budget for you later. There will be no problem in adding staff within the budget, but there will be no staffing. This issue is more complicated, and you probably don't want to get involved. I think we should go around it if we can." said the non-existent old man.
Masha nodded: "Okay."
——The next step is to see if Fu Paotui is interested in becoming a manager here.
——He is very ambitious and capable. If he is assigned to the outer hospital to take charge of some work, he should be able to achieve good results.
——At the very least, we cannot allow the planned outer courtyard to be completely controlled by people who are directly transferred here.
——As for whether Fu Paotui is willing to come, he is in the real estate business, and the area around the academy may become a new source of growth for the real estate industry in the future.
——I would like to ask, which rich person in this world does not want to seek immortality? Once my academy is opened, it will be a place for cultivating immortality. As long as I put up a sign to sell the surrounding mountains, I will not be afraid of not being able to sell them.
——This matter can be left to Fu Paotui.
Masha thought happily.
404 asked, "Do you need anything else?"
"Yes!" Masha said without hesitation, "I have a few girls who are still in school, and I want to take them with me."
"Why don't you just tell the girl's parents about this? They really want their children to become fairies." 404 joked.
——That’s right.
——Hongye and Huagu Shuang’s parents were so happy when they knew their daughters were going with me. They might even encourage their daughters to get married to me as soon as possible.
——Oh, I actually forgot that times have changed!
"I need something else!" Masha said hastily, fearing that the other party would hang up the phone. "I want the surrounding plots of land, and the planning and management rights for related construction projects."
"You are asking for too much. If you go there, no one will come to do the relevant work. In the end, we will have to assign someone to do it for you."
"I plan to introduce some friends from the public. You may already know that my dearest junior sister's family is quite wealthy. I have a good relationship with Mr. Ma Yu."
In fact, they had never even spoken to each other, but Ma Yu had given Ma Sha a library. Plus, they were all members of the Ma family and had been relatives since the mythological era, so there was no problem in having a good relationship.
As for her "dearest junior sister", Cai Shi had already woken up and was nestling in Masha's arms. She was so happy to hear these words that she couldn't suppress the smile.
"You're planning to mobilize civilian forces, okay? Let me wait and see what you can come up with."
It seemed that they were really shocked by Masha's appetite, so Masha decided to quit while he was ahead.
"Then I have no more requests. When will I be appointed Bi Ma Wen?"
"Now. By the way, regarding your official title, can you just call it 'Bimawen'?"
"No, no, no, I was just joking. You see, my academy is for teaching and educating people, and studying spiritual energy, so you have to give me an official title that seems to match these."
Masha is bad at naming. If he were to name himself, he would definitely come up with something extremely low-brow, awkward, and childish.
So he left the responsibility of naming to the non-existent grandfather.
The man thought for a moment and said, "I think you shouldn't give your special agency a proper name. Just use code names internally. I think 800 is a good code name. 800 refers to your agency, 801 refers to your headquarters, and 802 refers to your location. You are 803."
"I'm not a criminal policeman," said Masha.
There used to be a radio drama called "Criminal Police 803". When Masha was a child, Ma Zili bought him a tape and played it for him. He liked it very much, so he immediately picked up on the joke.
"You still know Criminal Police 803, are you really only 19 years old?" the other side asked in surprise, "This code name is set, as for the official name of the agency, we will study it here. Now you can write 800 agency wherever you need to sign, and you can just carve the official seal like this."
"Do I need to carve an official seal myself?" asked Masha.
"Let Qi Xiangwen prepare it. The invoice and other things can be made out to 800 yuan."
——This saves a lot of trouble.
"You have no other requests, right? Then let me tell you my request. We need to arrive at the scene by this afternoon at the latest and at least make an exploration gesture.
“We are also planning to arrange television coverage to thoroughly discuss the matter of opening the academy. Right now, it’s all just news circulating on the Internet, and the official has not made a statement yet. It’s time to do it.
"You should prepare well and take the TV interview seriously. Ask your girls to dress up well as well.
“The awakening rate in the north has begun to soar, and now we need to use various means to tell everyone that everything is under control.
"We predict that the existence of the academy will also make many awakened people cooperate with the authorities honestly and strive to enroll and practice to become stronger."
Masha: "I understand. If those young people who have read too many immortal cultivation novels awaken, they will naturally want to join the academy."
"Yes, for example, if one day you could suddenly release Avada Kedavra with a branch, you would also want to visit Hogwarts, right?"
The old man's analogy is quite strange, but it does make the point clear.
"But I think that since I can release Avada Kedavra with just a branch, I should become Minister of Magic when I get a real wand."
There was another burst of hearty laughter over there.
After laughing, the old man suddenly became serious and said, "This matter is of great importance. I am very optimistic about you. Don't embarrass me in front of my old friends."
"Are you one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, old friend?" Masha asked jokingly.
There was a movie called "The Da Vinci Code" which was very popular in China. When Masha saw that many netizens were discussing whether there was a secret society like the Priory of Xun in China, the one most mentioned was the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove.
So when he mentioned Chinese secret organizations, his first reaction was always the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, followed by the Heaven and Earth Society and the White Lotus Sect.
In response to Masha's question, the old man smiled and answered: "We do have such a title. By the way, the name of the academy, I think we should choose it from these ancient legends, how about calling it Taoyuan Academy?"
"Oh no, I feel like three big guys will come out and swear brotherhood the next moment. I also don't think it's appropriate to directly use the names of the four ancient academies. After all, we are cultivators, and using the names of mortal academies would be embarrassing."
"Okay, let's study the name of the academy."
Masha named it useless and said decisively: "I have no objection."
"Well, that's it. I'll assign someone to deal with the trivial matters. He should have arrived in Yuezhou. He might be waiting for you to wake up at your door."
"Really? I'm sorry to have kept him waiting for so long." Masha got up decisively.
Only then did he realize that Xiao Shi was waiting beside him with a smile on his face. It seemed that he couldn't escape this morning exercise.
404 said: "I have already reminded you once, but I still want to say it again. Do your best. It's up to you."
After saying that, the call was hung up.
Masha put down the phone and said to Xiaoshi, "I'll go for morning exercise right now! Right now!"
"Don't worry, I'm not rushing you." Xiao Shi said with a smile, "The phone call is for serious business, I'm not so inflexible."
Cai Shi also sat up, yawned, patted Masha's leg and said, "Come on, brother."
"Xiao Shi~" Xiao Shi said softly, "I think you may have to go to the battlefield often in the future, so you should also participate in morning exercises."
"Eh?"
Xiao Shi: "I have thought about it seriously. Anyone who is going to the battlefield should do morning exercises."
"Why do you suddenly have such an idea?"
"Because I saw you were constantly under attack yesterday and it was very painful." Xiao Shi stretched out her hand and gently stroked Masha's cheek. "If there were people from the Masked Princess Riders who could dodge the attacks as much as possible, you wouldn't have to suffer so much..."
——No, no, you can’t dodge the priest’s attack with physical skills!
"So! I will strictly train all of you who have Masked Princess Knights! At least make sure you can dodge most of the attacks that can be dodged with physical skills!"
Cai Shi: "But I don't have a masked Jiqi!"
Xiao Shi took the hand that was touching Masha's face away and placed it on Cai Shi's shoulder: "But you are the one we want most, aren't you?"
"...I can't argue with that. Okay, okay, I'll do some morning exercises with you!"
Cai Shi stood up as she spoke and stretched lazily.
"Great!" Xiao Shi was very happy, "Now it's complete!"
It seems that Xiao Shi has already told others about participating in morning exercises.
Masha glanced at the entire world in the car, and sure enough, he saw Chihiro, the league secretary and Baiquan, all wearing sports shirts and other clothes suitable for morning exercise, sitting not far away.
"You two finally got up," the League Secretary waved his hand, "You evil daughter-in-law, you are going to torment all of us."
Masha shrugged. "I think she should have tortured you guys as well. I've been tortured for so long. Look at my muscles. I can play the real-life version of a fitness girl."
Masha said as he exerted his muscles.
Chihiro snorted, "It's too early for you to play a fitness girl. You should at least make your arms as thick as my legs."
Xiao Shi: "There's actually no point in training like that. A true martial artist doesn't need that level of muscle. It will affect the ability to exert instantaneous force."
——Will it, will it?
As he spoke, Xiao Shi raised his hand and flexed his muscles. "That's about it. The rest is to train my coordination."
Masha looked at Xiaoshi's pretty doll-like face, and then looked at her muscles - what a contrast! It's a contrast!
——That’s right, the cutest one for me among the fitness girls is the one who looks like a kind big sister, but she is the one who can punch with such weird effects that violate the laws of physics!
Masha couldn't help but think of the things he hadn't added to Xiao Shi yet.
This product now has this attribute:
Power: 16
Agility: 18
Constitution: 16
Perception: 18
Intelligence: 12
Charisma: 18
Just two points away and you can add four full-level bucket numbers with extraordinary effects. You’ll be a super soldier, right?
However, Masha felt that he should still tell Xiao Di about his latest understanding of Reiki.
"Xiao Shi, listen to me carefully. This is not an excuse I made up to avoid exercise. I really have made some discoveries in this area."
Xiao Shi also put on a serious expression and nodded: "Okay, go ahead, I'm listening."
"I discovered that each of our attributes is actually mainly the attributes of the soul. Look at Gui Gui's muscles, which are about the same as yours, but she can punch with terrifying power, and after putting on the power armor, the extraordinary effect will also extend to the power armor."
Xiao Shi: “Oh, is that so?”
——You didn’t notice!
Baiquan crossed his arms and nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, I'm smart, I've already discovered it!"
"Of course I'm not saying that muscle training is useless. I think this kind of training can indirectly train the soul as well."
——Otherwise, there is no way to explain the distribution of attribute points for each of you.
——It’s good to have the agility of a ballet dancer.
——People with musical literacy have a good sense of perception.
——The factory girls who often do farm work at home and also undertake a lot of heavy work in the factory have high strength and physique.
——The little brat who does nothing but play games and cheat is nothing but trash in terms of strength, agility and physique.
