After all, there were too many people for the Witch's Forest to accommodate, and there weren't even enough teachers to instruct them.
Expecting Lan Qingyou to roll up her sleeves and stand at a podium to lecture...
Stop joking. That wasn't her style.
It was already good enough that she could explain specific knowledge points during practical work, and even then, she mostly relied on the individual perception of the 101 Witch Group.
But truth be told, the 101 Witch Group truly lived up to their reputation as academic geniuses among academic elites; they were incredibly fast at synthesizing and applying knowledge.
Wait! Perhaps...
“Use the witches who have received your personal instruction to act as teachers?”
Diana, who was sitting in her office in the stilt house processing documents, couldn't help but lean back in a tactical retreat after hearing Lan Qingyou's proposal.
It wasn't that she was being rude.
It was mainly because Lan Qingyou really just grabbed whoever was available without any sense of long-term planning.
Take now, for instance—she wanted this so-called 101 Witch Group to serve as mentors.
Did she think they didn't need to level up or conduct research themselves?
She really just made things up as she went along.
Because of this, Diana really wanted to stay as far away from Lan Qingyou as possible.
“Exactly! Think about it. The members of the 101 Witch Group are academic geniuses to begin with. Whether in practice or theory, the knowledge they've acquired is far superior to that of other witches.”
Lan Qingyou nodded with her eyes closed, as if this were a brilliant idea.
“It's a good idea, but have you considered how many of them are suited to be teachers, how many are suited to be scholars, and how many are suited for neither?”
Diana posed a question that struck at the heart of the matter.
“Oh, come on. Among over a hundred people, we're bound to find a few. Plus, there are the dozen or so people Susie led before.”
See? Just as expected, here it came.
Diana complained inwardly and then pulled out her identity card.
“You probably haven't looked at the group messages in a long time. This is a topic Susie was debating in the group earlier; she even had to mute the chat once for it.”
Since Lan Qingyou was the only one above them, Susie and Sophia were currently the only two moderators in the entire Witch's Tea Party.
Therefore, while Lan Qingyou was busy with her experiments, these two moderators maintained order in the group.
Naturally, they were the only ones with the power to mute members.
Lan Qingyou took Diana's card and began scrolling through the chat history.
Only then did she realize what the 'topic' Diana mentioned was about.
In short, after Sophia learned that Susie and her team had nearly two hundred Witch potions on hand, she hoped to distribute some to the witches in the group so they could give them to their friends.
After all, although they had become witches through loans, some of their friends and associates hadn't been so lucky.
Sophia's proposal was perfectly normal.
Susie's task was to give the potions to people they deemed to have potential. If everyone helped distribute them, the task would certainly be completed much faster.
Furthermore, if witches recommended their own friends for evolution, they could form small squads on the spot to clear dungeons, which would be very convenient.
However, Susie had rejected Sophia quite decisively.
It wasn't because these potions were given by Lan Qingyou and required her authorization to be shared.
While that was part of it...
The biggest factor behind Susie's decision was a problem Lan Qingyou hadn't even considered.
Quality.
Yes, quality.
Susie's point was that while the attribute and knowledge corrections from the Witch potion allowed all witches to achieve twice the result with half the effort in Potion-making and Alchemy...
The problem was that some people were simply not suited for learning.
Even if such people obtained a Witch potion and evolved into a witch, it would be extremely difficult for them to achieve anything in Potion-making or Alchemy.
It was almost like 'forcing the impossible.'
In this situation, Witch potions couldn't be handed out indiscriminately. Instead, they should follow the Supreme Council's example and screen candidates, selecting academic elites and academic geniuses as much as possible to use these potions.
Even if they weren't top-tier geniuses, they at least had to be at an average level. In short: no academic slackers!
Only this could guarantee the Witch race's dense academic atmosphere and future development.
For example, if a group of people were discussing how to calculate the acceleration and impact force of a drop of water falling from a thousand meters, and some guy chimed in with, 'Haven't you guys ever been in the rain?'—it would instantly kill the discussion. It was the same logic.
But Sophia argued that this was too absolute and would actually be detrimental to the development of the Witch race.
Yes, those were the two sides of the debate, and they happened to be the two moderators.
This argument was quite refreshing to Lan Qingyou.
Previously, whether she was randomly selecting lucky winners or just tossing potions out to liquidate them for cash, she hadn't thought much of it.
It was nothing more than a way to pass the time.
But after reading Susie's theory, Lan Qingyou turned it over in her mind several times before finally feeling at ease.
Returning the card to Diana, Lan Qingyou fished out her own card and began tapping away.
Afterward, she tagged Susie and Sophia in the Witch's Tea Party.
Origin Witch: “@Susie @Sophia, here is a list of the one hundred thousand people who were cut during the final round of the Supreme Council's screening. If I'm not mistaken, they should be at a similar level to you.”
Exactly.
Lan Qingyou's actions just now were to ask Chu Yuan for that list.
If she wanted to ensure both quality and quantity, the easiest way was to start with a pre-screened pool.
The Supreme Council had already filtered the candidates once for the Witch race.
Since that was the case, why bother debating and making it seem so formal?
Keep it simple; everything is easier when you keep it simple.
Origin Witch: “Also, I've researched two new types of Witch potions. I'll test them out in a bit. If they're viable, I'll hand them over to you to expand our race.”
“New Witch potions?”
Diana, holding her card, turned to look at Lan Qingyou in confusion.
“These ones.”
Lan Qingyou pulled out two Witch potions contained in different bottles.
“Hmm? What did I hear? New Witch potions?”
Just as Diana reached out to take the two potion bottles, Shang Chuan walked in.
“You really do show up the moment you smell something interesting, don't you?”
Looking at Shang Chuan as he suddenly burst through the door, Lan Qingyou couldn't help but make a snarky comment before briefly explaining the general attribute biases of the two potions.
Shang Chuan, who had been in Jiang Lan's backyard earlier, had naturally heard Vivian's explanation about weight biases, so he wasn't too surprised.
But it would be a lie to say he wasn't curious.
“Since you were planning to find people for experiments anyway, why not give these two potions to my employees?”
“That's fine, but you must guarantee that your employees drink them right in front of me.”
Lan Qingyou didn't really mind.
As long as she could get the research data, it was fine.
“In that case, my assistants here will also join the experiment.”
