Master of Strange Dao

With the addition of Dean Nong, specializing in Spirit Plant-related projects, the progress has indeed accelerated significantly.

More importantly, possessing a vast and specialized knowledge base can help avoid most erroneous directions at the beginning of a research project. Newest update provıded by novelFirｅ.net

One must know that the most critical aspect of research success is the direction.

With a clear direction, many tasks can be broken down into minor, low-difficulty steps that can be assigned to those laboring scholars.

Given the caliber of those laboring scholars, it's impossible for them to deduce the complete details of the entire project from the minor steps they're assigned.

If they could achieve that, they wouldn't be mere laborers...

These dispersed minor steps are actually the most time-consuming, energy-draining, and require a step-by-step approach with no shortcuts.

And this is just one direction.

Without a clear direction, one must continuously learn lessons in the process of trial and error, seeking the reasons for failure.

There could be hundreds of directions, consuming vast resources, yet resulting in no achievements, failing to meet even the lowest expectations.

The role of the Dean is to perform theoretical deductions beforehand, ruling out necessarily wrong directions in the absence of experiments.

Don't be fooled by how they burn budgets. In truth, these deans are the ones saving the most money when scrutinized closely.

Savings allow the current budget to be considered for initiating a project.

Otherwise, the foreseeable trial and error costs alone would terminate most projects at the outset.

Yu Ziqing on the Big Island is a typical drifter.

He now somewhat understands why Yang says they each have their areas of expertise.

At their level, the difference between specialization and non-specialization is indeed great; the most typical case being the budget.

Watching these people argue is quite amusing; the fiercer the argument, the faster the research progresses.

Yu Ziqing left with ample resources and his new results.

Delivering new seeds to the Moon God is essential. Before leaving, Yu Ziqing initiated a new project with Yang.

The reason for mentioning it before leaving was purely to prevent being beaten.

He asked Yang to consider how to help the Moon God recover more quickly.

Yu Ziqing had little interest in practicing Moonlight Divine Skills or advancing himself to Divine Skills.

It would be the same for anyone, spending a lifetime of effort without ever reaching the empowered might.

After observing the deans and laborers over these days, Yu Ziqing realized that if the direction is wrong, efforts are not just halved; there would be no results at all.

So he plans to thoroughly change direction and work hard.

For example, relinquishing limited energy, abandoning the challenging and unpromising path, to instead enhance the empowerment as much as possible.

So, Yu Ziqing went to deliver seeds to the Moon God again.

There's nothing much to say about delivering seeds, routinely chatting with the Dragon Women, exchanging ideas, conversing with the Moon God, sending greetings, and deepening relations.

This time, he casually mentioned that the Divine King might cause trouble in the void, cautioning the Moon God to be careful.

Efforts are underway here to prepare methods for avoiding risks.

He also instilled a sense of crisis in the Moon God, urging her to work harder.

After dawdling around, Yu Ziqing didn't take a shortcut through Dali this time, fearing Wen Lingyou might again think he has ulterior motives.

He bypassed Daqian, first stopping by Almsgiving Town, where New Five finally awaited Yu Ziqing.

After New Five recounted the events of the past few years, Yu Ziqing learned that New Five and the new emperor conspired against the Divine King.

You could say the Divine King had it tough; his subordinate White Water Egg organization was completely packaged and betrayed.

The Divine King was indeed cautious, knowing to gather information from two channels.

Unfortunately, he didn't realize both sides were infiltrated.

This was actually worse than being deaf and blind; at least being deaf and blind wouldn't lead to being fooled to this extent.

When Yu Ziqing heard New Five mention the names of the foundational Dharma Methods, his eyelids started twitching.

The Dharma Methods were all real and indeed quite good.

But the better they were, the bigger the trap.

Especially this treacherous guy, who even gave out True Intent Classics.

You must know, although these True Intent Classics are the best, if slightly off, they become the worst in an instant.

A slight deviation in foundational classics will utterly skew the direction in the late period.

Yu Ziqing greatly admired it, thinking if he had been there at the time, he would definitely have gathered the wisest people of the era to make tailor-made adjustments.

New Five and the new emperor were still conservative.

But considering their approach was also right, being slightly conservative is better; aiming to fatally trap someone is impossible.

The goal from the start was to create flaws and defects, so being conservative is even better.

Is the Divine King mad or overconfident to genuinely dare to cultivate the human Refining God Dao?

If Shi knew about this, he'd burst into laughter.

Yu Ziqing gave New Five a thumbs up, highly praising him, and generously gifted two storage rings filled with various resources.

The White Water Egg organization is currently struggling, severely lacking resources; every day they open their eyes to a large group of mouths waiting to be fed.

Yet the things they have can't be sold; they lack basic resources.

Yu Ziqing gave them a bunch more, at least enough to last for a few years.

"Given our relationship, there's no need for such politeness. Whenever you lack anything, just go to Almsgiving Town and find that merchant.

Sometimes I'm not around, so you don't have to wait for me; I'll leave instructions.
