20: Rewards received

Everyone asked what Lin Shu had gone to do.

Facing their questions, Lin Shu merely smiled faintly.

He didn't say anything more.

There was nothing to say, after all.

Seeing this, everyone was a little disappointed.

After all, if he wasn't willing to say more, there was no way to force him.

However, very quickly, everyone found out what had happened.

After lunch.

The class monitor, Huang Yian, retrieved the report cards from the teacher's office.

When everyone checked, they discovered that the top scorer of this monthly exam was none other than Lin Shu.

Everyone gathered around him.

Exclamations rang out.

"The first place is in our class! It's Lin Shu!"

"Lin Shu is the top scorer of the monthly exam."

"See? I knew Brother Shu would be first."

Liu Dong showed an expression of 'I knew it'.

He stood with his hands on his hips, looking extremely proud, as if he were the one who had taken first place.

Huang Yian watched Lin Shu take first place, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

In the blink of an eye, he had already been left far behind.

Many rich students from other classes were also surpassed by Lin Shu.

One must know, they consumed Intermediate Nutrient Potion daily.

And even had spiritual objects to assist them.

It was completely normal for him to be left behind.

"Congratulations, congratulations."

"This is too amazing."

"666."

Facing everyone's compliments, Lin Shu forced a smile and went along with them.

Everyone was a little too enthusiastic, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.

Even Heiye was surrounded by the beast companions of other students, making him flee in a panic.

He quickly found an excuse to leave the classroom,

and only then did he feel much more comfortable.

The first-place reward was 20 bottles of Intermediate Nutrient Potion and ten first-tier spiritual objects.

Now, with the principal's permission, it had doubled.

It became 40 bottles of Intermediate Nutrient Potion and twenty first-tier spiritual objects.

He couldn't use it all, absolutely couldn't use it all.

His cultivation resources, which were almost depleted, became abundant again.

Just as Lin Shu was wondering when he would receive the reward.

Zhao Sheng found Lin Shu and brought a red suitcase.

The red suitcase contained the rewards for this monthly exam.

Clearly, the quantity was too large.

A backpack wouldn't be enough, so they used a suitcase this time.

It was a pity there were no Space Storage methods, otherwise, it wouldn't be this troublesome.

Opening the suitcase, there were five exquisite gift boxes inside.

They contained a rose-red liquid, rich and beautiful.

This was the Intermediate Nutrient Potion.

Lin Shu took out his phone and started to check.

He found that an Intermediate Nutrient Potion retailed for 15,888 on the official website, with five bottles per pack.

Calculating this, plus the spiritual objects.

This reward, converted into cash, was around 200,000.

It was indeed good, these rewards.

They also made Lin Shu feel very favorable towards the principal; he was truly a good person.

Time at school passed quickly... Lin Shu, dragging the red suitcase with Heiye, returned home on time.

He finished organizing all the supplies from the suitcase.

And incidentally, he let Heiye and Tuyao try the Intermediate Nutrient Potion.

To see what the effects were.

Since he currently had no need for money, Lin Shu temporarily gave up the idea of selling this batch of potions.

After all, proficiency and potion effects could stack and did not conflict with each other.

So, he would let his beast companions develop well for now.

After a simple dinner, he prepared to start meditating.

"Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling."

At this moment, his phone made a sound.

Someone had sent a message.

Lin Shu didn't know who it was, but he immediately went to pick up his phone and check.

It turned out to be Bai Sheng.

Bai Sheng — "Pic, pic."

"I only got fifth place in our school's monthly exam this time."

"This is truly unacceptable!"

Lin Shu smiled slightly when he saw this.

Although he said it was unacceptable.

His words, however, were full of boasting.

He opened the two pictures to view them.

He found that one was the report card of the top hundred students from Central No. 1 High School.

The second picture was Bai Sheng's personal score.

It must be said that Central No. 1 High School was indeed much stronger than Canglan No. 2 High School.

The two high schools had the same monthly exam format this time, both focusing on physical assessment and not involving combat.

The top five comprehensive scores all exceeded a thousand.

Even Lin Shu, if placed among them, could only barely reach third place.

The first-place comprehensive score reached 1311.08 points.

Lin Shu was not surprised by this.

Wealthy families had many ways to improve their beast companions; it was normal that he couldn't compare at the moment.

Moreover, the score difference this time was due to the quality gap.

After all, Heiye was only Elite quality, while their beast companions were all Perfect quality.

So, in terms of nurturing, Lin Shu was still more outstanding.

It wouldn't be very difficult to catch up to them.

"Eh, it's indeed not quite right."

"Fortunately, my luck was pretty good and I got first place, pic, pic."

He clicked send.

On the other side, Bai Sheng looked at the message that came in and clicked on it.

Although Bai Sheng currently knew he wasn't a match in combat power, the score might be a different story.

After all, his beast companion's quality was a notch higher, and this score was not small. "I'm finally going to win against you this time, Lin Shu," Bai Sheng thought.

Bai Sheng skillfully opened the picture and squinted his eyes, seemingly not seeing clearly.

Canglan No. 2 High School, ranked first, Lin Shu.

This result was not unexpected; it was normal for Lin Shu's strength to achieve this.

What was surprising was that the other picture showed a comprehensive score of 1068.53, and then he looked at his own, a comprehensive score of 1033.15.

It was actually dozens of points higher than his own.

Bai Sheng was somewhat disbelieving.

How could he still lose like this?

If Lin Shu's mantis reached Perfect quality.

Wouldn't he even be first in Central No. 1 High School?

This was truly outrageous.

Feeling a bit bitter, he had hit a wall.

Instead, Lin Shu had outsmarted him.

It was truly exasperating; Lin Shu, you've done all sorts of bad things.

Having no choice, he sent an emoji pack.

"Big boss, please carry me gif."

Then he sent two crying emojis.

Lin Shu found this scene very interesting.

He replied with an emoji pack.

Just as he thought the chat was over.

Bai Sheng's message appeared again.

"Lin Shu, are you still coming to White Cloud Arena tomorrow afternoon?"

After a pause, he added another line.

"It won't cost a single penny, and food and accommodation are included."

This condition was quite good.

He decided to agree.

Mainly because it could hone Heiye's combat skills.

And not for the sake of free food and accommodation.

"Of course, I'll arrive around 10:30 AM tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

After that, the chat ended.

Lin Shu put down his phone.

He sat on the bed and began to meditate.

Meanwhile, in Bai Sheng's room.

Although it was called a room, its size was equivalent to an entire house.

Inside, there was a professional training room.

It was specially prepared for Bai Sheng's beast companion, Blue Thunder Pattern Bear.

"Tianlei, keep it up!"

"Tomorrow, we must defeat the opponent."

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

The Blue Thunder Pattern Bear let out roars, its body running on a large, specially made treadmill. This was for speed training; last time, they failed due to speed, so now they were focusing on this aspect.

He also really wanted to defeat that slippery, damned black mantis...
