Versatile Mage: Starting with the White Tiger Pendant-Chapter 141: Abundant Resources, Secretary Qing (Bonus)
Chapter 141 - 141: Abundant Resources, Secretary Qing (Bonus)
"You mean the previous Chiefs only left behind these?!"
Lu Jun wanted to reprimand the corruption loudly, but looking at the rows of luxury cars, he had to admit they were quite pleasing to the eye.
However, Qing Yu seemed to know what he was thinking and shook her head, saying, "It's not corruption. How could we mages be obsessed with material possessions? Many external forces have gifted luxury cars over the years, and the previous Chief simply centralized them for easier management."
"These cars can be used by the Chief, and even student council officials can apply for them if needed. There's dedicated maintenance personnel to take care of them."
Lu Jun glanced at them, but he wasn't particularly interested in luxury cars. What he truly valued was cultivation resources. Fortunately, as the new Chief, he could now train in the Three-Step Tower for seven days. Adding his accumulated time, he had a total of eleven days.
In addition, he received five Soul Seed Fragments and a one-month rental of a Galaxy Magic Artifact per semester!
That's right—Pearl Academy actually had Galaxy Magic Artifact! No wonder each department's Chief could break through to the Advanced Level before graduation.
With millions of resources flowing through the system daily—both openly and behind the scenes—it was more than enough to establish a Galaxy Vein. Coupled with the aid of a magic artifact and the Three-Step Tower, advancing to the Advanced Level was practically guaranteed.
While calculating his gains, Lu Jun realized that after accounting for the Three-Step Tower and Stellar Magic Artifact, he could sell the remaining miscellaneous rewards for at least forty million. Adding to his accumulated eighty million, he was just twenty million short of purchasing a Galaxy Vein.
"I'm close... Advanced Level should be achievable by the end of the break."
Feeling pleased, he thought about teaming up with his sister for a mission to make up the shortfall. Or perhaps... he glanced at Qing Yu.
As the Water Institute's Chief, she undoubtedly had many resources at her disposal. Getting another twenty million from her should be easy. However, he wasn't well-versed in managing such affairs, and the thought of dealing with various organizations and institutions felt like a hassle.
Lu Jun preferred to focus solely on cultivation—after all, in the world of magic, strength was everything.
After some thought, he suddenly turned to Qing Yu and said, "How about you become my assistant? From now on, you'll handle all Water Institute affairs, external communications, and administrative tasks."
"Me?!" Qing Yu was taken aback. Hearing his proposal, she was slightly tempted. If she accepted, her role would essentially remain unchanged.
She wasn't reluctant to step down—it was just that during her tenure as Chief, she hadn't been able to leave a lasting contribution to the Water Institute. That regret lingered.
Now, by staying in this role, she could still accomplish something meaningful. Even if all the credit went to Lu Jun, she didn't particularly care.
Seeing her hesitation, Lu Jun nodded in satisfaction. He could tell from her cold and proud demeanor that she had a strong sense of integrity. That meant she wouldn't do anything unethical—making her the perfect workhorse, someone he could easily convince to handle all the grunt work.
"All profits will be split 70-30."
Lu Jun coughed lightly and leaned in, whispering into the icy beauty's ear.
Hearing this, Qing Yu's composed expression shattered as black lines appeared on her forehead. Good grief—this newly appointed Chief had just taken office and was already talking about making money. He seemed anything but reliable.
She had already been considering the offer, but seeing Lu Jun's attitude made her even more convinced that if she didn't step in, he would surely ruin the Water Institute.
So, she agreed decisively, "Fine, but from now on, don't interfere with how I handle things."
"Haha, of course! I wouldn't dream of telling an expert how to do their job."
Lu Jun was overjoyed and readily agreed, completely unaware that in Qing Yu's mind, he had already been labeled as a corrupt official.
Meanwhile, he was still feeling smug, thinking he had just made a brilliant move.
Hearing this, Qing Yu let out a slight sigh of relief, but she couldn't afford to let her guard down. From now on, she would have to keep a close eye on Lu Jun to prevent him from acting recklessly.
"Alright, help me process all the resources I've obtained. Trade them for money and keep managing the Water Institute as usual. I'm heading back to rest."
Lu Jun yawned, waved his hand dismissively, and casually assigned a task to his new "workhorse," Qing Yu, before turning around and heading home to sleep.
After fighting for an entire day and night, even with his monstrous physique, he was truly exhausted. The fact that he could still stroll around as if nothing had happened was already impressive.
Qing Yu was slightly stunned but didn't refuse. She went off to handle the Water Institute's affairs.
When she returned to the Magic Combat Hall, Chen Yu appeared anxiously and leaned in close, asking pitifully, "So? What did the Butcher Lu say? Are all the student council members getting kicked out?"
Chen Yu knew all too well—whenever a new leader took office, the ones who suffered were always the old faction members.
"No, everyone is staying," Qing Yu replied, shaking her head.
Before Chen Yu could celebrate, Qing Yu's smile deepened as she added, "But the bad news is... you're the one getting kicked out."
Hearing this, Chen Yu pursed her lips. She had already expected it. The secretary's position was too crucial—it had to be held by someone trustworthy.
Still, she asked with concern, "What about you? Did that guy Lu Jun do anything to you?"
To her surprise, Qing Yu's usually cold face showed a rare playful smile. "Well, funny thing... you lost your secretary position, and I became the new secretary. From now on, call me Secretary Qing."
"Huh?!" Chen Yu was dumbfounded. Qing Yu, working as someone's assistant?
After hearing the full story, Chen Yu couldn't help but scold her, "You got tricked by Lu Jun and even helped him count his profits! You were the previous Chief, one of Pearl Academy's top ten beauties, and now you're working as his secretary? That's such a downgrade!"
"Not to mention, all the work you do will only boost his reputation. You're practically handing him all the credit. Are you stupid?"
Qing Yu remained calm and instead persuaded Chen Yu, "It's better than letting Lu Jun run wild. You're experienced—why don't you come help me?"
In the end, instead of pulling Qing Yu back, Chen Yu got dragged in herself.
"Sigh..." Chen Yu let out a long sigh. "I can't win against you. Now I'm just the assistant to Lu Jun's assistant. What kind of nonsense is this?"
On the other side, Lu Jun had no idea what Qing Yu and Chen Yu were up to. Once he decided to let go, he truly let go. He returned to his Jinyuan Apartment and slept soundly.
Along the way, every student he passed greeted him with "Chief Lu."
It seemed that the Water Institute's ranking battle had spread far and wide—both the main campus and Qing Campus were buzzing with the news.
Lu Jun found it amusing. The fearsome reputation of "Butcher Lu" had turned into "Chief Lu", a figure of respect. It only reinforced his belief: true power comes from both fear and favor. The position of Water Institute Chief wasn't just about authority—it came with real benefits.
When he arrived home, his sister Lu Mei seemed to sense how exhausted he was and didn't disturb him.
So, he slept for three whole days and nights before finally waking up, feeling refreshed and full of energy.
He focused his mind inward and examined his spiritual world.
After the intense training in the Yangtze River trials and the Water Institute's bloody battle, his Psychic Element and Curse Element had been greatly refined, nearing a breakthrough.
Even his Metal Element and Water Element had reached their bottleneck, with his solid foundation pushing against the barrier to the Advanced Level.
Lu Jun knew that all he needed was one final push—something like the Three-Step Tower.
With that in mind, he set out early in the morning, preparing to head to Pearl Academy.
In the living room, Lu Mei was sitting cross-legged, training hard to improve her third element, Fire.
But as soon as she caught sight of him, she said casually, "Heading to Pearl Academy? There's someone waiting for you downstairs."
"Someone's looking for me?"
Lu Jun was puzzled. At the same time, he noticed something strange in his sister's tone—it sounded a little... jealous?
When he reached downstairs, he took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Is this really necessary?"

In front of the Jinyuan Apartment, a Bugatti Veyron Phantom was parked, its sleek and luxurious design shining brilliantly, drawing a large crowd of onlookers.
Sure, magic-powered vehicles weren't as flashy as tamed beasts used by battle mages, but for ordinary people, they were still an unattainable dream.
But what stood out even more than the car was the breathtakingly cold beauty beside it.
Dressed in a professional office outfit, she wore a white blouse, a fitted blazer, and a short skirt. Her long, slender legs were wrapped tightly in black stockings, and she held a folder in her arms.
A luxury car alone wasn't too shocking. But a gorgeous assistant standing beside a supercar? That was a whole different story.
And more importantly—who this beautiful assistant was!
