"Jack...Jack..."

As the skylight entered his eyes, [Chen Yan]'s vague memories began to recover, and his consciousness gradually appeared clearly in his mind——

He was imprisoned for the murder of Leonard Adams, and was eventually forced to leave the imperial land permanently and enter the island chain. When he left, he contacted a down-and-out newspaper clerk named Ned Roddy, trying to

Night schools have been opened in Yanan City and have been put into practice.

"That's a good thing."

[Chen Yan] Looking at "Jack Baldo" next to him, recalling what this partner has done for him, he can't help but feel grateful——

Jack Baldo has been a great help in most of the incidents he has experienced in the past two months, and is able to come up with effective solutions to most of his current problems, and has now become an indispensable and important partner for him.

Most importantly, he asked for nothing in return.

‘He is an idealist.’ [Chen Yan] thought to himself.

"According to Teacher Ned Roddy, the enrollment of the night school is going quite smoothly. There are almost no students who are dawdling and they study very seriously." Jack Bardo told [Chen Yan] about this situation and observed carefully [

Chen Yan]’s expression.

"This is a good thing. The students are all selected by me. They are a rare literate group among the huge population of Yanan City. They have relatively high levels of education and moral standards. They are the easiest to cultivate."

[Chen Yan]'s eyes were very serious, and he was talking about the matter, completely without the impetuousness before.

"Jack Baldo" looked at him and thought about it several times:

'I moved the impostor's mental state data into [Lucid Dreaming 2.0] intact, but modified part of his cognition in this lucid dream, returning his cognitive state to the one he just entered the island chain.

when.'

'Judging from his current reaction, although his mental state has problems, he can still remain rational when facing some situations that are not likely to cause emotional fluctuations.'

At this moment, it was Chen Yan himself who controlled the body of "Jack Baldo". Considering that "it would be too abrupt to force a stranger into a lucid dream", he borrowed Jack Baldo's body data and

Use [Lucid Dreaming 2.0] to set this "Jack Baldo" as [Chen Yan's soul partner] to get closer to the impostor and correct the impostor's cognition.

"Jack, I get confused sometimes."

[Chen Yan] was lying on the railing of the ship, facing the endless sea level, his tone full of confusion:

"Sometimes I don't know if what I'm doing is meaningful... Whether it's meaningful or not depends on whether it will succeed, right?"

Chen Yan answered him:

"I haven't done it yet, so why do I feel like it won't be successful? At most, it's just that it's more difficult to do."

[Chen Yan] lowered his head, his eyes fell on the sewage under the high pile pier, and his voice was deep:

"I had a dream."

Chen Yan was quite surprised:

"Um?"

He was very surprised, how could the counterfeit dream? Dreaming in a dream? Or???

Chen Yan didn't understand the operating principle of [Lucid Dreaming 2.0] at all, he only knew how to use it, so he couldn't tell what the current state of the counterfeit was.

"I had a very long dream..."

The counterfeiter's voice was very low. When the voice came out of the ship's side, it was already blown away by the sea breeze:

"I dreamed that I started doing business with some bad guys and got some big development through personal connections."

The impostor dreamed reality in a lucid dream!

"I dreamed that I did something...very bad."

There was even a tremor in his voice.

The moment his voice trembled, the air in front of Chen Yan suddenly showed a trace of "disorder" similar to the imbalance of radio waves.

Chen Yan was shocked and immediately said in a calm voice:

"It's just a dream, forget it."

He used [Lucid Dreaming 2.0] to calm [Chen Yan]'s spirit, and the trembling on [Chen Yan]'s body gradually subsided.

Chen Yan led the topic elsewhere to prevent the impostor from continuing to think:

"Speaking of which, have you thought about how to conduct the night school?"

Speaking of this, [Chen Yan] immediately gained strength:

"I've almost thought about it. In fact, when I first came up with the idea of ​​setting up a night school, I had already roughly thought about the next development of the night school."

He looked up at the rough sea level, his eyes reflected the scattered light, and his voice seemed to be alive:

"To put it bluntly, employment is the end point for night school students, so it is necessary to ensure that students can be employed - this does not seem to be something that night schools need to take care of - most schools in the empire are only responsible for teaching, not the employment of students. I

I think this is wrong. For most students who are poor and have no connections, how can they find a job in such a fierce employment environment? Just rely on their overseas application resumes?"

"Especially the students in night schools - I originally screened these students because they had no social resources and could not find a job on their own, but they were capable and wanted to learn, so I wanted to give them - this kind of hopeful

people a chance.”

"anyway."

【Chen Yan】I emphasize again.

"I can't control other schools, and I don't have the ability to manage them, but night schools must be able to provide employment for students - at least they can provide employment opportunities!"

When Chen Yan heard this, he felt mixed emotions.

Why didn't he think so at the beginning?

But after entering the island chain, the events that happened one after another made him so busy that he couldn't focus entirely on running the night school.

Until things got completely out of control and the counterfeit was downloaded into his body, Chen Yan could no longer decide the direction of the night school.

"I have heard before that there is something called CO-OP in the imperial capital, which stands for Cooperative education. It is an employment opportunity provided to students by some powerful schools - cooperation between the school and the company.

Send graduating students to companies for internships. If the students perform well during the internship, they will be able to obtain an employment contract - this thing is much more reliable than the students' own overseas application resumes! Don't you think so!"

Of course it is...

Chen Yan can even recall his mental state when he first learned about CO-OP - 'If I could also enjoy this kind of social service, I wouldn't have entered the zoo because of my overseas investment resume!'

[Chen Yan] is still talking:

"Of course, the night school has just been established and there certainly won't be that much energy, so we need to continue to recruit people - we need to recruit some teachers who are specifically responsible for CO-OP, and let these teachers go and talk to the factory."

He emphasized his tone:

"At this stage, we must be wary of night schools developing into intermediary agencies - we must sign very strict contracts with these teachers responsible for CO-OP and use imperial laws to restrict their behavior!"

Chen Yan sighed:

"Recruiting such teachers also requires them to face the temptation of huge intermediary fees at any time, so they must be given very high wages and benefits."

[Chen Yan] immediately became embarrassed:

"Yes, so our top priority now is still..."

The two said in unison:

"make money!"

Things inevitably return to this disgusting topic.

Chen Yan didn’t want to talk about making money, he wanted to talk about something else:

"In fact, there is another possibility - we can meet more people who are close to idealists like Mr. Ned Roddy. These people do not need high treatment, but more for ideals... for the same things as us

, common ideals, and do what they want to do.”

[Chen Yan]’s eyes became a little dim:

"This... is too difficult."

"Why should we let a person endure the hardships brought by life for the sake of his ideal..."

He lowered his voice, as if just talking about it made him feel guilty.

"Even if we know that Mr. Ned Roddy is a person with ideals, even if we know that it is because our career is consistent with his values ​​that he becomes one of us..."

"As far as the situation of Teacher Ned Roddy is concerned, we can only provide him with sufficient living expenses - after ensuring his basic life, or even a more decent life.

...We had the nerve to make a request to him [to become a teacher and contribute to night school].

You and I both know that Ned Roddy's potential is far more than this. With his ability, he should have achieved greater achievements... Even if he has no achievements now, it is just because he has not encountered the right opportunity.

But, but, once he chooses to study hard for night school, he may never achieve great achievements. A person's energy is limited, and if his time is taken up by hard work, how can he study?

He is an academic type of talent. This is something you and I both know. He should... He also deserves to sit in a room with a fireplace and bookshelves in such a winter, writing articles and doing knowledge, instead of... instead

To serve a group of people whose future is uncertain, with no certainty of success.”

He is thinking.

Chen Yan was also thinking.
