Chapter 66: Massive Upheaval in Yudu City

[June of the 127th Year of the Transcendental Calendar, the annual professional entrance examinations begin.]

[To recruit more talented individuals for Yuncheng University No. 1 and to increase the number of talents within the Red Heart Society, you dispatched the management of the Red Heart Society along with admissions officers from Yuncheng University No. 1 to various cities across the Federation.]

[Your target demographic consisted of talented individuals with decent potential who came from humble backgrounds and were being exploited by various investors and loan institutions.]

[After all, the truly top-ranked talents were born into aristocratic families, and scions of noble houses were never the recruitment targets of the Red Heart Society.]

[Of course, should any aristocratic scion wish to join, the Red Heart Society would not turn them away.]

[Upon discovering this initiative, Du Yuhan also wanted to send her people over.]

[However, this idea was vetoed by Lin Xue, whose reasoning was quite sound.]

[Students newly entering university might possess good potential, but their foundations are generally quite poor.]

[That being the case, why don't we let the Red Heart Society help train them for us?]

[Once they have been properly nurtured and matured, we can simply step in and poach them with an offer they cannot refuse. It saves effort, saves resources—how wonderful is that?]

[Du Yuhan pondered this, glanced around at the surrounding members of the Yudu Team, and nodded in agreement.]

[She still held a great deal of confidence in Lin Xue's ability to poach talent.]

[Meanwhile, relying on generous welfare, enticing transcendental subsidies, and the auxiliary support of the admissions teachers from Yuncheng University No. 1—who subtly conveyed the overall atmosphere of the Red Heart Society and the ordinary backgrounds of its top leadership—the society left a lasting impression.]

[Within the Red Heart Society, there were no so-called shackles of the aristocratic families!]

[As long as one had ability and vision, one could rise straight to the top!]

[When that time came, the entire Red Heart Society would stand as their strongest backing.]

[Students in other cities did not pay much attention to the Red Heart Society, resulting in very few talented professionals being persuaded.]

[However, in Jiangcheng and Yuncheng, a massive influx of professionals poured into Yuncheng University No. 1 and subsequently joined the ranks of the Red Heart Society.]

[For the students of Jiangcheng, how could they not yearn for and envy the top scorer of the college entrance examination from two years ago, who had built such a massive Red Heart Society in this short span of time?]

[As for the professionals of Yuncheng, they practically lived within the direct radiation zone of the Red Heart Society.]

[Some even had relatives and friends working in factories under the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce, and others had joined the Red Heart Society even before the grand exams, enjoying early, interest-free financial support provided by the society for talented professionals.]

[Consequently, the primary objective for a vast number of Yuncheng's talented professionals upon completing their exams was none other than Yuncheng University No. 1!]

[They were so fortunate to grow up in the region covered by the Red Heart Society.]

[Protected by the society, which instilled in them faith and pride, the ideologies circulating both internally and externally deeply resonated with those born at the bottom of society.]

[The grace of the Red Heart Society could never be repaid in a lifetime!]

[Most importantly, the admirable founder of the Red Heart Society was right there at Yuncheng University No. 1!]

[Therefore, Yuncheng University No. 1 became their primary choice for application.]

[In their hearts, even the so-called top-tier prestigious universities had to bow their heads before Yuncheng University No. 1!]

[That was where the sun resided!]

[The dwelling place of light!]

[And the glorious sanctuary they yearned for and wished to reach all their lives.]

[Before they had even completed their awakening, the ideology of "Red Heart Eternal Victory" had already penetrated deep into their souls.]

[Thus, given the opportunity, they were willing to give up everything to contribute their share to the development of the Red Heart Society.]

[Capitalizing on this entrance examination opportunity, the Du family of Jiangcheng, the Liu family of Licheng, and the Yu family of Pingcheng also dispatched their direct descendants to enter Yuncheng University No. 1 to assist Du Yuhan in developing the Yudu Team.]

[According to Du Yuhan's vision, if they could annex the Red Heart Society within the next two years, the Yudu Society would possess unimaginable, terrifying value.]

[Therefore, even after Du Yuhan graduated from Yuncheng University No. 1, these three aristocratic families still intended to send their own people to maintain control over this massive student organization.]

[Consequently, under the superposition of multiple factors, the admission score line for Yuncheng University No. 1 that year directly hit a historical high.]

[It even surpassed the admission scores of many ultra-elite institutions, rising directly into the first tier just below the top-tier universities.]

[Far away in the federal center, the old principal, who was pulling strings, couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear upon noticing this development.]

[This served as a tremendous boost for Yuncheng University No. 1's application to become an ultra-elite institution.]

[In July of the 127th Year of the Transcendental Calendar, you led all members of the Red Heart Team to thoroughly clear out all abyss monsters within a thirty-kilometer radius around Yuncheng.]

[This action ushered in a massive expansion of the Yuncheng Safe Zone's territory.]

[The Yuncheng official authorities immediately expressed their commendation by granting all industries under the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce a two-year tax exemption benefit.]

[Meanwhile, through the coordinated publicity campaigns between the Yuncheng officials and the Red Heart Society, the prestige of the Red Heart Society in Yuncheng reached its absolute peak.]

[This greatly angered Du Yuhan, especially when she recalled the slap you delivered four months ago, which still caused her eardrums to ring at the mere thought.]

[Consequently, she prepared to organize the Yudu Society to launch a massive clearing operation.]

[However, this activity was urgently halted by Lin Xue. Currently, nearly one third of the Yudu Team members were undergoing their second-transition trials aided by the efficacy of the Star-version auxiliary devices.]

[A few months later, the strength of the Yudu Team would experience an explosive surge!]

[Therefore, even if a conflict were to occur, they had to wait until the Yudu Team members completed their class advancement trials and reached perfection in equipment, skills, and all other aspects. That would be the optimal timing for revenge.]

[The best strategy was to strike the enemy's weakness with one's own strengths.]

[Who on earth would take their own weaknesses to clash with another's strengths?]

[Was that not seeking one's own destruction?]

[Du Yuhan felt that Lin Xue's words made complete sense and abandoned the clearing operation plan.]

[That same month, she began contacting her family to prepare more suitable equipment sets and skill cards for the Yudu Team members who were about to complete their second transition.]

[In September of the 127th Year of the Transcendental Calendar, the number of Red Heart Team members officially broke through 2,500.]

[Furthermore, the hand-salute and the "Eternal Victory" slogan cultivated by the Red Heart Society began to radiate and spread from Yuncheng as the center across the entire Nanyun Province, under the tacit approval of the federal authorities.]

[As the provincial capital of Nanyun Province, once the Red Heart Society occupied the economic and cultural center of the province, other cities naturally fell under its influence.]

[Soon, branch offices of the Red Heart Society were established in various other cities across Nanyun Province, with their primary development targets remaining the students within the various universities.]

[After all, in any era and in any world, universities will forever remain the cradle where new ideologies are bred and propagated, as well as the vanguard of world transformation.]

[In December of the 127th Year of the Transcendental Calendar, you advanced to Level 30.]

[Just as you began to immerse yourself wholeheartedly in the refinement of your Silver Battle Qi, massive changes began to unfold within the Yudu Society.]

[After entering the Yudu Society, the descendants of the Du, Liu, and Yu families collectively agreed: on what grounds should Lin Xue, a professional of commoner origin, wield such immense power?]

[How could someone with zero background ever become the second-in-command of the Yudu Society?]

[Since all the resources of the Yudu Society came from the various aristocratic families, they unanimously concluded that all high-ranking positions within the Yudu Society ought to be held by scions of noble houses!]
