203: Chapter 203 Points Redemption System

"Line up! Everyone, line up!"

"Anyone who dares to push and shove again will have their purchase privileges revoked!"

Lin Fan's roar, infused with a trace of spiritual pressure from the Grandmaster Realm, instantly calmed the chaotic scene.

But this did not extinguish the fire in the students' hearts; instead, it made them even more eager.

Five hundred students quickly formed a long line in the aisle, the queue stretching all the way out the classroom door.

Each of them tightly clutched their student ID cards, their eyes blazing as they stared at the large box on the lecture platform.

That was no mere box; it was clearly a shortcut to becoming a powerhouse!

"Ahem, since everyone is so enthusiastic, let me briefly explain the rules."

Lin Fan cleared his throat, resembling a chief auctioneer announcing auction regulations.

"Considering this is a classroom setting, and to let everyone experience the fun of acquiring battlefield resources, I've decided to implement a special points exchange system."

He turned and swiftly wrote several lines on the blackboard.

[Standard blind box: 10 points/each (may contain C-grade materials, D-grade elixirs, 'Thank You for Your Purchase')]

[Premium blind box: 50 points/each (guaranteed C-grade item, high probability of B-grade equipment, fragmentary combat skills)]

[Supreme blind box: 100 points/each (daily limit: 5, chance to obtain A-grade treasures, special aptitude potions)]

Looking at the price list on the blackboard, many students gasped.

These prices were practically daylight robbery!

The standard ones were somewhat acceptable, but that Supreme blind box... 100 points each, equivalent to one million dragon coins!

And there was no guarantee of getting something good.

If you opened one and got a 'Thank You for Your Purchase,' wouldn't your mentality just shatter on the spot?

"Professor, isn't this price a bit too... too high?"

A bespectacled girl asked timidly.

"High?"

Lin Fan countered, pointing at Qin Feng, who was still sitting to the side, hugging a jade slip and giggling foolishly.

"This student here just spent only 10 points and obtained an A-grade inheritance worth 500 points."

"Do you think this price is high for an opportunity that could potentially change your destiny?"

"Besides, on the battlefield, the situation changes in an instant; opportunities slip away in the blink of an eye."

"How many points do you get from risking your life to complete missions and kill a C-grade aberrant beast outside? And you have to risk your life for it."

"But here with me, you just need to move a finger, swipe your card, and you might obtain something others couldn't get even after ten years of struggle."

Lin Fan's rhetoric came one set after another, precisely hitting the soft spots of these young people.

Right.

Cultivation was too hard. Missions were too difficult.

If there was a shortcut, who wouldn't want to take it?

This was the gambler's mentality, and also a weakness of human nature.

"I'll buy one standard one to test the waters!"

The red-haired boy at the front of the line gritted his teeth and swiped 10 points.

His hand trembling, he took the small box Lin Fan handed him, took a deep breath, and abruptly opened it.

A puff of white smoke emerged.

Inside lay a pale blue pill.

"D-grade Qi-Restoring Pill..."

The red-haired boy's face instantly fell.

This pill sold for only about 1 point at the school supermarket. He had lost nine times his investment!

"Ah, it seems this student's luck isn't too good today,"

Lin Fan shook his head with a look of regret. "But it's okay. The battlefield is inherently full of uncertainty. Failure is the mother of success. Perhaps the next one will be the jackpot?"

The red-haired boy refused to believe it. His eyes reddened: "Another one!"

Another 10 points were swiped away.

This time, it was a piece of C-grade alloy shrapnel.

Worth 3 points.

Still a loss!

"Again!"

The red-haired boy was completely hooked.

This was the magic of blind boxes. When you lose, you always feel the next one will let you break even. When you win, you feel your luck is soaring and you want to win even more.

After opening five in a row, the red-haired boy had already lost 40 points, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

Just as he was about to give up...

The sixth box opened.

A flash of blue light.

"Holy crap! A C-grade top-quality alloy armguard!"

Someone exclaimed.

The red-haired boy focused his gaze. Inside the box lay an exquisitely crafted metal armguard, shimmering with a faint aura of spiritual energy.

This thing sold for at least 80 points at the exchange office!

"I broke even! Hahaha! Not only broke even, but made a profit!"

The red-haired boy shouted excitedly, his previous gloom completely swept away.

This scene undoubtedly served as a shot of adrenaline for the students behind him.

You really could make a profit!

And the probability seemed quite high!

Thus, the buying frenzy completely erupted.

"Give me two premium ones!"

"I want five standard ones!"

"Don't push! I want some too!"

At the front of the platform, Lin Fan was swamped.

He was collecting payment, handing out goods, and maintaining order all at once, but the smile never left his face.

Listening to the constant 'beep' sounds from the card reader, watching the numbers in his backend points account skyrocket...

Lin Fan felt he was hearing the most beautiful symphony in the world.

This was the purchasing power of Kyoto University!

These students were simply too rich!

In just half a class period, his income had already exceeded twenty thousand points!

Converted to dragon coins, that was two hundred million!

And this was just the beginning.

As more and more people opened good items—of course, this was because Lin Fan intentionally controlled the probability, letting some 'get rich first' to lure more people into the pit—

the entire classroom had completely transformed into a massive gambling arena.

Some cheered and jumped for joy; others beat their chests and stamped their feet in frustration.

Some, to gather points, started borrowing from classmates on the spot; others, fighting over the last Supreme blind box, nearly came to blows.

The originally sacred and solemn university lecture hall was now filled with the scent of money and desire.

Just then...

The class bell rang.

"Alright, that's all for today's class,"

Lin Fan clapped his hands, signaling for everyone to quiet down. "We're also almost sold out of today's blind boxes. The rest will be sold next time."

"Huh? Class is over already?"

"Professor, don't leave! I haven't bought one yet!"

"Overtime! Professor, we want overtime!"

"I'll pay double! Sell me one more!"

Instead of rushing out of the classroom as usual, the students swarmed around the platform, stubbornly refusing to let Lin Fan leave.

They were completely bloodthirsty by now.

Those who hadn't bought any were itching with anticipation; those who had lost wanted to break even; those who had won wanted to win even more.

Looking at these faces filled with desire, Lin Fan adjusted his glasses, revealing a meaningful smile.

This lesson was not only a baptism for the students.

It was also the first major victory for the Myriad Treasures Pavilion's advance into Kyoto University.

From today onward,

this top-tier institution with a century of history would completely become Lin Fan's personal backyard.

And these so-called geniuses would all become the highest-quality 'chives' in his hands, continuously providing him with nourishment.

"Students, calm down a little,"

Lin Fan picked up his teaching materials and elegantly straightened his collar.

"Good things should always leave a little suspense."

"Want more?"

"Then look forward to the next class."

With that, escorted by Qin Feng and a few other 'bodyguards,' he forcefully carved a path through the crowd and strode away.

He left behind a classroom full of unsatisfied, anxious students staring at each other, with only one thought left in their minds:

Next class, we must come early to line up!
