Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 340 Textbook

Xuanyuan Muze immediately shut his mouth in embarrassment. Echolozma also realized the awkward atmosphere and quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "However, since the internet has already appeared in your hometown, this advanced educational method should appear soon. After all, who would be foolish enough to use such an advanced means of communication for entertainment instead of sharing wisdom? Hahahaha."

This blow struck Xuan Yuan Muze squarely in the heart. Xuan Yuan Muze quickly stopped, saying, "Alright, stop talking. Let's talk about something else. My heart isn't feeling well. Does the research institute have any other departments besides experiments?"

Upon hearing this question, the dean immediately led the way and said, "You know what, there really is one here. The textbook compilation department of the research institute is the only special research department here. They are mainly responsible for the compilation and revision of textbooks related to compulsory education. Please come with me, and I will have the person in charge there introduce their work to you."

So, led by the dean, Xuanyuan Muze arrived at the textbook compilation department. The person in charge there was a kobold wearing reading glasses named 'Wolf'. At the dean's call, this kobold, who looked somewhat artistic, came over and introduced the compilation department to Xuanyuan Muze.

Wolf pointed to a group of people who looked like engineers, who were using various instruments to draw patterns, and said, "Please look here, this is the drawing area. They are responsible for drawing the explanatory illustrations and data tables in the textbooks. They are all painters with solid basic skills in drawing. They will create appropriate illustrations and text explanations according to the content to be explained, and then scale them up proportionally and type them into the textbooks."

Led by Wolf, Xuanyuan Muze approached and saw the energetic staff members engaged in heated discussions about every detail of the illustrations. So much so that the workers did not even notice the arrival of Xuanyuan Muze and their superiors. According to Wolf, most of these illustrators were extreme perfectionists. Although their personalities prevented them from making long-term achievements in artistic styles, such talents were very reliable in architectural design and graphic illustration.

Wolf then led Agreed further inside, where they saw a group of people meticulously examining and analyzing textbooks, searching for areas for improvement.

Wolf introduced to Xuan Yuan Muze: "These are our text editors. They are responsible for the text layout and content revision of the textbooks, striving to make the textbooks as easy to understand as possible. If necessary, they can use metaphors and allegories to help children understand the content of the book more intuitively."

Looking at the studio with over a thousand people in front of him, Xuan Yuan Mu Ze asked in surprise, "You only have a few textbooks, is it really necessary to waste so much manpower on this? And isn't the most important thing about textbooks professionalism?"

Wolf shook his head and said, "Perhaps we have different understandings of books. His Majesty the Dragon God's definition and requirements for textbooks are not like this. His Majesty the Dragon God's original words were, 'A qualified textbook is one that can be read and understood by even a child who has just learned to read.'"

Over the years, in order to meet His Majesty the Dragon God's requirements, we have been working hard, hoping to one day create teaching materials that meet His Majesty's requirements. We have tried our best to cut out unnecessary text, streamlined the content, and used the simplest, most understandable, and even captivating methods to make these books accessible to children without any barriers.

Moreover, this kind of thing is unnecessary. Over the years, the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races has lacked everything, but it has never lacked money or labor. In the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races, we are all proud to have a meaningful and fulfilling job, especially in departments like the Organization Department, which is tied to research institutes, where many young people voluntarily join us every year.

Xuan Yuan Muze said, puzzled, "This requirement is just nitpicking. If textbooks could be this good, what would be the point of having teachers? We could just buy a book and study at home. You don't need to be so extreme."

Wolf smiled politely and continued, “I used to think the requirement was too demanding, just like you. However, His Majesty the Dragon God once said something to me, and I would like to pass that on to you now. It goes like this: ‘We may not be perfect, but we cannot give up the pursuit of perfection. It is because we never give up that we are like a miracle.’”

It was this sentence that sustained me to this day. His Majesty the Dragon God's wisdom has always been a great source of inspiration for me. It was this sentence that made me understand why His Majesty the Dragon God was able to reach this point. He truly is a unique miracle, an irreplaceable great man. I understand now that my work is meaningful. As long as we take even one step forward, the children of this country will benefit from it. I believe that sooner or later we will achieve this goal and dedicate our modest efforts to this country and to the great Dragon God.

Xuanyuan Muze looked at Wolf's devout eyes and remained silent, but in that instant he understood that perhaps the strength of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races was not without reason.

After visiting the textbook compilation office, Wolf took his leave and returned to his post. In the following time, Echolozma took Xuanyuan Muze on a tour of the various theoretical research laboratories of the research institute and the experimental sites set up on the abandoned planet.

The extravagant investment in education by the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races once again refreshed Xuan Yuan Mu Ze's understanding. Many of the research topics they conducted even exceeded Xuan Yuan Mu Ze's imagination. At the same time, many expensive instruments that would be impossible to build even with the strength of the entire planet on Earth were just basic facilities for the research institutes to use at will in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races. This made Xuan Yuan Mu Ze marvel once again at the vastness and wealth of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races.

After touring the experimental sites, Xuan Yuan Muze exclaimed with satisfaction and removed the connecting device from his back at the entrance of the research institute. He then bid farewell to the dean, but just as he turned to leave, Dean Ekolozma caught up with him and invited, "Honorable guest, this is a star map of our Myriad Races Kingdom. If you wish to travel to other planets, it will ensure you don't get lost. Moreover, if you wish to visit the military base, magic academy, and science institute, their locations are marked here. I suggest you visit the military base, which is closest to here, first, and then use the portal there to visit the magic academy in the capital of the Myriad Races Kingdom's first main universe. After all, the science institute and military base are relatively easy to visit, but it's better to see the magic academy in the main universe."
