Chapter 148: Being a hands-off manager always comes with a price
Since Lilia was granted the right to take free courses before the semester and not start thinking about her career path until the next semester, she didn't have to waste time queuing for the next entrance exam.
The school will have several days of entrance exams after that, and classes will officially start only after that, which means Lilia still has a few days of vacation.
Seeing that she didn't have to wait in the long line any longer, Lilia didn't have the idea of staying any longer. She had originally planned to observe and visit the school where she would be staying for the next few years.
But considering that the entrance exam had caused the school to be overcrowded, and that some people looked at her in a less friendly way, and there were other reasons as well, Lilia chose to go back to Albert's House with Mo Cheng.
They had run here to be well prepared, so going back wouldn't be that troublesome, so Mo Cheng simply rented a carriage to take them back.
Along the way, Lilia repeatedly checked the course schedule for the first month of school given by Principal Muzel, and Mo Cheng let her entertain herself. After all, she had obtained the principal's permission before she even started school. As long as she met the requirements, she could also be accepted as a disciple by the great wizard Muzel, who had not accepted any disciples for decades.
In terms of the path of a mage, Lilia has already reached a finish line that most people cannot reach.
But in a sense, Lilia is also standing at an extremely difficult and dangerous starting line.
It's time to teach Lilia some ways to save her life.
With this thought in mind, Mo Cheng began to search his past memories from his brain, trying to find something suitable for Lilia.
Ever since strengthening [Division Makes Success], Mo Cheng felt that his thinking speed and memory have improved a lot. It is probably because he now has two brains, and the operation of dual cores is always stronger than that of a single core.
His memory, or something else, was enhanced, allowing Mo Cheng to retrieve past memories like a movie, just like searching a file.
But after searching for a long time, although I found several relatively suitable methods, some new problems emerged.
"Lilia." Mo Cheng pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you ever considered practicing both magic and martial arts?"
"Didn't Big Brother say that it's not worthwhile for humans to practice both magic and martial arts?" Lilia lowered her head and thought, then suddenly thought of something and covered her mouth, "Could it be that Lilia is not a human?!"
"There's nothing wrong with your bloodline."
Mo Cheng didn't understand what kind of bloodline Lilia had, but he could guarantee that Lilia's bloodline was human, at least the main part of her bloodline was human.
Scratching his face, Mo Cheng carefully considered his words and said, "It's not really a true magic and martial arts dual cultivation. It's just to see if you are interested in learning my [Heart Martial Arts]."
[Heart Martial Arts] is not a pure martial art. In the player system of [Foreign Land], it is more like an ambiguous intermediate state between magic and martial arts.
In fact, after the successful development of [Mental Martial Arts] , there were also magicians among the players who practiced and used it. Judging from the fact that those magicians were able to learn [Mental Martial Arts], there was no insurmountable gap for Lillia to learn.
"Okay!" Without hesitation or even too much thought, Lilia agreed directly, "Big brother's heart martial arts looks very powerful, can Lilia do it too?"
"Of course, don't you see who I am?"
Neither of them spoke for the rest of the journey. Lilia continued to look at the schedule and tried to mark the ones that interested her so that she could attend the class later.
As for Mo Cheng, after taking a look at Lilia, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked out the car window.
What kind of trust would make a person agree to learn the [Psychological Martial Arts] that has nothing to do with the magicians and has never been heard of without thinking?
Mo Cheng himself didn't know what kind of trust this was, but after Lilia had a bright enough future, she still dared to gamble her future for Mo Cheng's words "Do you want to try dual cultivation of magic and martial arts?"
This trust made Mo Cheng feel heavy, but also happy.
It feels good to be trusted by others like this.
Back at Albert's House, a group of children came up to Lilia after seeing her come back, asking her about her experiences at Winterburg Magic Academy, and at the same time, they all wanted to see the class schedule in Lilia's hand.
Seeing how lively these children are, Mo Cheng silently arranged the task of "finding a teacher" on tomorrow's schedule.
It's time to give the children at Albert House some lessons, at least to teach them literacy and basic math.
"Priest Mo Cheng!"
At this time, Sister Loni, who looked tired, trotted in front of Mo Cheng and handed him a thick stack of reports. "This is the record of the factory's production of the Glimmer Ointment during this period, the records of the law enforcement team's extraction and the payment received, the quantity list of the Glimmer Ointment shipped to the store and the signatures of the recipients, the salaries of the new employees, and the engineering payment for Mr. Justin and his team to rebuild the warehouse according to your requirements."
There were few people in Albert House who could write and do math, so there was no doubt that all the records were solved by Sister Lonnie alone.
Originally, this should have been a job for two people, but Mo Cheng often went out during this period, either to kill the mad dog Steel Jaw, or to prepare for the dungeon with Margaret, or to be busy with Lilia's admission.
As a result, Loni not only had to check the bills and reports, but also had to visit the factory from time to time. After Mo Cheng had enough funds, he bought several buildings near Albert's House and converted them into factories.
This factory directly tied together the interests of people in two or three nearby streets. The pottery shop on the corner provided small pottery bottles, old Jack's carriage shop at the end of the street had two horse-drawn carriages chartered for a long time, the Trier family who made breakfast were now all busy providing three meals a day for the factory, and Moore's tailor shop also received a large order to make well-fitting and uniform work clothes for the factory employees.
Bart and several other families who live outside Fairhaven have signed long-term supply contracts directly with the factory. They asked their neighbors and relatives to collect herbs needed for the factory's glimmer ointment near the forest.
As for the young and adult workers in the nearby streets who have no bad criminal record, they can enter the factory to work after training.
The Albert House factory connects so many people together, so naturally there will be many problems during the running-in period. During this period, Mo Cheng was absent from work, so the responsibility of solving the problems naturally fell on Lonnie.
The nun, who had not slept well for a long time and had dark circles under her eyes, suppressed her anger at someone who had been absent-minded for a long time and asked, "Father Mo Cheng, you should be free to deal with various matters today, right?"
Looking at Loni, who was too busy and looked very bad, and her clenched fists, Mo Cheng raised his hands rationally, "Yes, I am free, I will take care of it."
If he said he wanted to go out again at this time, the nun in front of him, who usually had a good temper, would probably throw the report directly in his face.
