155: Chapter 155 credits, serving under the saddle

The conclusion of the ranking battles had a massive impact on the Students.

The academy's grand announcement regarding the resource allocation was clearly intentional.

The goal was simple: to stimulate the Students' fighting spirit, or rather, to deliberately incite competition among them.

The effect was quite impressive.

As soon as he returned to Star Island, Chen Mo received a video call from Du Ruo.

wkan.com is super thoughtful.

The other party stated emphatically that he had to leave the Regular Class, not just for more resources, but also to prove his worth.

Although Wu Feng didn't contact him, when the Students returned to the Peak of the Stars and disbanded, Chen Mo still saw the clear resentment and burning fighting spirit in his eyes.

As for the Prodigy Class and the God Selection Class,

there was already an extremely intense competitive relationship between the two.

It was worth mentioning that, perhaps because Vice Dean Xiao Yue had used him and Du Ming as examples earlier, several Prodigy Class Students had left them with some "bold proclamations" before departing.

Of course, both Du Ming and he looked at those people as if they were idiots.

Liu Xuanfeng even said bluntly:

"Brother, isn't it good to be alive? Why must you seek death?"

Those people were so infuriated that they immediately challenged Liu Xuanfeng; they were probably getting thrashed in the Stars Arena right now.

Chen Mo had no interest in getting involved in such nonsense, but Du Ming followed along happily, seemingly enjoying the "cheerful" atmosphere.

"Divine Lord."

Inside the large villa at the center of Star Island, Zero walked up to Chen Mo carrying freshly brewed spiritual tea.

Although The Stars prohibited Students from bringing foreign servants, sub-races were clearly not included in this restriction.

Zero had become Chen Mo's little housekeeper just as she had been at the Chen family home, except the setting had changed from the original small courtyard of less than a thousand square meters to this vast Star Island spanning over ten thousand acres.

"Mhm."

Chen Mo smilingly took the spiritual tea handed over by Zero and casually opened an email on his smart watch.

The email was from Blue Cave; the cash support for the Sixth Transition had already been deposited into his account, and the corresponding special resources were on their way, soon to arrive at The Stars.

"Yu Mo."

Chen Mo suddenly spoke.

"What is it, Master?" Yu Mo immediately emerged from the virtual watch and flew onto the tea table in front of Chen Mo.

"Check how much I have in savings right now."

"Yes, Master."

Yu Mo lightly raised her hand, and two long strings of numbers appeared before Chen Mo.

The top string was the balance of his Virtual Universe points.

Before coming to The Stars, Chen Mo would occasionally "pay to win" his cultivation in the Law Simulation Space of the Virtual Universe.

Although it was quite expensive, the results were truly excellent.

The Law Simulation Space had been a huge help in allowing him to raise various Laws to Minor Achievement in just twenty days.

However, the cost was also staggering.

The virtual points he had saved previously, along with the 50 million from the Fifth Transition, had been almost entirely spent, leaving only 3.62 million points.

"56.32 million!"

Chen Mo glanced at the virtual point balance; clearly, this was the result after his Sixth Transition resources had arrived.

In contrast, his cash savings had once again broken the hundred million mark, reaching 137.45 million.

"The contracts offered by major factions usually only kick in after becoming a True God. By comparison, the support provided by The Stars and the Federation is much more generous."

Nodding inwardly, Chen Mo opened another virtual email.

The sender was The Stars Academic Affairs Office, providing a more detailed explanation of the resource allocation.

It clearly stated that the resource for the second-ranked position was 9,800 Credits.

As for what Credits were, it was a currency system used by all High Academies, but they could only be used within the respective academy.

Chen Mo had learned before that Credits at The Stars were extremely valuable; someone had even offered the astronomical price of fifteen thousand per credit on The Stars' virtual forum, and yet no one was selling.

There was no helping it; compared to money, Credits were indeed far more valuable to Students.

Resource Secret Realms, comprehension time in the Destiny Palace, and even hiring upperclassmen or instructors to help gather specific resources in Quán Xīng Domain could all be paid for with Credits.

In short, for High Academy Students, Credits were their lifeblood!

"9,800 Credits. Du Ming said he got 10,000, and Liu Xuanfeng got 9,200. Does it decrease by 2% per rank?"

Chen Mo nodded. This gap seemed small, but if the difference in ranking was huge, the disparity would be very obvious.

Especially for the Regular Class; their total Credits were less than half of the God Selection Class's, yet they had to be split among 208 people.

He had asked Du Ruo before; the other had received 490 Credits, and Du Ruo's rank was considered somewhat high in the Regular Class.

A difference of over twenty times... Chen Mo didn't even dare to imagine how miserable those at the bottom of the Regular Class rankings were.

"No wonder many Regular Class Students left with bloodshot eyes when we disbanded.

This differential treatment is simply too severe, not to mention the additional support the Federation provides to the God Selection Class."

Chen Mo flipped to the second page of the email; this page wasn't about Credits, but actual "money."

According to the support quota set by the Federation, every member of the God Selection Class would receive 100 million Credit Points, issued monthly.

Because of the special treatment provided by The Stars, Chen Mo would actually receive 150 million.

However, this money hadn't arrived yet; he heard it was waiting for approval from the Federal Education Bureau.

Chen Mo understood this; after all, as many as a hundred High Academies had responded to the Federation's call.

Even if the support funds of other High Academies weren't as much as the Big Five, the total for a hundred academies would still be an astronomical sum.

"In that case..."

""

Chen Mo's eyes flickered slightly.

He knew very well that money was just a number; it was never as important as one's own strength.

"Yu Mo, help me connect to Xie Wei's virtual communication."

"Alright." Yu Mo nodded again.

A virtual avatar immediately appeared before Chen Mo, and it was exactly in Xie Wei's likeness.

Perhaps for work convenience, Xie Wei used her actual appearance even for this virtual avatar.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

After about ten seconds, the call was connected.

A pretty face, far more feminine than those of the female Students in the academy, came into Chen Mo's view.

As soon as she appeared, Xie Wei looked at Chen Mo with a smile, her eyes as bright as autumn waters.

"Great Prodigy Chen, what is it? Do you have something else you need this humble lady to do for you?"

Xie Wei spoke very directly; she had pretty much figured him out.

This fellow Chen Mo would never contact her unless he needed something.

"There is indeed something." Chen Mo looked at Xie Wei while having Yu Mo draw up a shopping list, then continued.

"By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet. Are you getting used to the Blue Cave Headquarters?"

"It's alright, just busier than in Lanshi City."

Xie Wei smiled, her eyes filled with a bit more gratitude as she looked at Chen Mo.

She knew very well that her ability to be transferred directly from Lanshan Academy, this third-tier city, to the headquarters was all thanks to Chen Mo.

Returning favor for favor, Xie Wei had decided to completely tie herself to Chen Mo's ship.

Once Chen Mo graduated from The Stars and entered Blue Cave, she would be his absolute loyalist, at his beck and call, ready for anything.
