Vera and Colin's efficiency exceeded Allen's expectations.
The day after signing the Soul Contract, the two of them split up. Vera returned to the Seven Towers Alliance to recruit, while Colin remained in Hub City to hold down the fort.
The recruitment process was low-key. They didn't take out splashy ads in the Wizard Monthly Magazine, instead opting for targeted outreach through the alumni network New Western Education Company had built over twenty years.
The job posting was remarkably simple—
"New Western Education Company is hiring ambitious individuals. We offer a stable salary, subsidies for cultivation resources, and a post in a central commercial plane. We don't need geniuses, just reliable people. —Weisren Heavy Industry & New Western Education Company."
There were no grandiose promises, no gimmicks like a "million-Magic-Stone annual salary."
But this unassuming post, for all its apparent lack of appeal, caused a huge stir within the New Western alumni community.
