Chapter 1706: Chapter 1725: Work More, Talk Less
After a few days of familiarization and learning, Yusuf Zuck has basically understood the work of the General Affairs Departnt and has gotten to know the people there. However, due to his young age and lowest rank, everyone can instruct him.
Although he is only responsible for cleaning the courtyard, the stewards of the General Affairs Departnt always like to assign their unfinished tasks to him, yet he doesn’t complain and remains enthusiastic and optimistic while working.
So in just over ten days, he has left a good impression in the General Affairs Departnt.
During these ten days, he didn’t attend any beginner lessons because he simply didn’t have ti. As for taking on any tasks, that was out of the question.
However, his diligent work earned him comndation from Shaun, the General Affairs Director. Although he has a private dormitory, he doesn’t return there every night but stays in the back garden to keep the old turtle company, who speaks well of him.
“Linghu, I didn’t get to finish my records, can you help with them tonight?” spoke a female steward from the General Affairs Departnt, arranging more work for Yusuf Zuck before nightfall.
“No problem, Sister Yu, you take care of your business, I’m just idling anyway. Leave it to !” Yusuf Zuck said confidently.
“Thank you! I’ll bring you so treats tomorrow!”
The next day, Sister Yu indeed brought him so tasty treats. In the evening, a senior nad Brother Zhu also had unfinished work and handed it over to Yusuf Zuck!
Yusuf Zuck persistently claid he was fine—like a hardworking ox, tirelessly working!
He genuinely handled all the work himself because he found idleness boring. The tasks were not heavy labor, like moving mountains or filling seas, but he completed them due to his boredom.
Day after day passed until after three months, the overseer of the General Affairs Departnt could no longer stand it. During a departnt eting, he spoke up: “Linghu is a good kid, can’t you all lessen his workload? He has been in the academy for three months, hasn’t trained for a single day, attended a single lesson, accepted a single task, or even returned to his dormitory!”
“A fine disciple of Tianyi, with a good disposition, honest and kind-hearted, enthusiastic and righteous!”
“Sir, it’s really no big deal, really. Everyone has taken care of so well, what’s a bit more work? Training isn’t urgent, I’m still young!” Yusuf Zuck humbly said.
“Enough said, Linghu, every afternoon, you must attend classes; it’s beneficial for you. As for everyone else, try to handle your own work!” The General Affairs Director sincerely favored Yusuf Zuck, even the old turtle praised Yusuf Zuck daily, monitoring everything as it lived in the garden. Seeing him busy all night, it secretly spoke well of him to its owner!
Thus, that afternoon Yusuf Zuck did attend a class: it was the first lesson of the beginner class, and the instructor spoke about the benefits of ditation for training.
Yusuf Zuck listened all afternoon, but upon returning, he continued to find work—aiding seniors and junior mbers in finishing their daily tasks!
Naturally, these ntors and juniors didn’t let him work for nothing. So gave him tasty treats, others shared Elixirs, others bestowed Magic Treasures, and so instructed him in the academy’s Nine Sections of Yin and Yang!
The Nine Sections of Yin and Yang is the academy’s inherited supernatural powers, an absolute art that any disciple can train. However, it consists of nine sections, not everyone can train to the ninth section, and the Nine Sections of Yin and Yang is a secret manual that one cannot access without reaching the level and earning enough credits!
Nonetheless, he acquired up to the fifth segnt of the Nine Sections of Yin and Yang!
Know that the three-year groups of the outer academy, even senior class disciples can only learn the third section. Only the inner academy can train beyond the fourth section, yet he learned up to the fifth!
That’s the benefit of working hard: helping others diligently, and others, in turn, helping you!
Now in the fourth month, the academy began to restore order, it was rumored that the principal himself ca out of seclusion, got secret directives, and began inspecting the disciples and all instructors, investigating and reviewing everything, including any person’s three generations of ancestors, all must be docunted!
Additionally, it wasn’t just the academy, the entire Jake King began personnel inspections, real-na registrations.
Rumor also had it that this was a directive from the reigning king—he was hunting Jordan Webb!
Jordan Webb’s na is already thunderously heard within the divine realm, and even the academy’s mission list ranked first is finding Jordan Webb’s whereabouts, awarding substantial credits.
Due to the principal personally rectifying the order and performing various inspections, the academy beca extrely strict. Every disciple had to go through the scrutiny, especially those who joined in the past five months, they especially couldn’t escape, there were three levels of trials.
It’s like political examinations for joining the military in the secular world: investigating your three generations of ancestors, verifying your background!
Yusuf Zuck naturally was within the inspection ranks, even among those specially examined. Moreover, he heard that so inspectors directly perford Soul Search on new disciples entering the academy in recent months!
The mont this news reached his ears, Yusuf Zuck felt a bit anxious, but during the evening eting of the General Affairs Departnt, Yusuf Zuck laughed aloud after hearing the eting content, because among the inspectors, the chief inspector included none other than the General Affairs Director, who was responsible for inspecting the departnt’s personnel!
So Yusuf Zuck passed the inspection smoothly, because the General Affairs Director didn’t inspect him at all.
This is another advantage of diligent work: in these months, Yusuf Zuck’s hard work, his true character, his actions were all seen by the General Affairs Director, soone privy to the inspection details, knowing there was no way that the little guy was Jordan Webb in disguise, so why bother inspecting?
Indeed, the purpose of the inspections was to find Jordan Webb, to see if he had disguised himself to infiltrate the academy!
It wasn’t just the academy, military forces, various departnts of Jake King, even palace departnts were conducting self-inspections!
However, these inspections have had imdiate benefits; within ten days, the academy inspected seventeen problematic individuals; so were demons’ spies, others were criminals who committed wrongdoings, thus the inspections achieved certain results!
The commotion continued until the arrival of new students cald the academy down. Yusuf Zuck maintained his routine: cleaning the General Affairs Departnt in the morning, studying in the afternoon, working in the evening, keeping a linear path.
Yet he never took on any tasks, so he only had ten credits—the ten credits were gifted by a fellow senior to him!
A few months later, one early morning, Shaun arrived first at the General Affairs Departnt. He coincidentally encountered Yusuf Zuck sweeping the courtyard. Instead of rushing in, Shaun stood smilingly watching Yusuf Zuck until he finished his task, then gestured for Yusuf to co over!
“Sir, is there sothing you need? Should I do sothing?” Yusuf Zuck cheerfully ran over.
“Good news!” Shaun whispered smilingly: “Soon a noble persona will co to the academy as an instructor, probably as a beginner class instructor. Afterwards, accompany to welco him, then stay by the instructor’s side to assist, do tasks and such. Being by his side is beneficial for you!”
“No need, I don’t want to leave the General Affairs Departnt nor you!” Yusuf Zuck said with a troubled face.
“I never said you’d leave, you are still part of our departnt, you can return anyti, even to stay. When he’s less busy, you can co back. Plus, he’ll be teaching here for only three months at most!”
“Oh, that’s acceptable, I thought you were forcing away!”
“Haha, if I sent you away, everyone would have issues with this old man! Hurry and freshen up, wash your face, when you et the noble persona later, be neat for a good impression!”
