146: Chapter 146 Qin Yan, Good luck tomorrow...

Lin Yang took the heavy, exceptionally textured Golden Ticket.

He couldn't help but cry out in surprise. He looked at Qin Yan, his tone filled with disbelief. "Qin Yan, do you know how much these Golden Tickets are being scalped for outside right now?"

"At the very least, they start at a hundred thousand huaxia coins! And even then, they're impossible to find!"

"If you were willing to sell these four, that's an easy four hundred thousand! You're really just giving them to us like this?"

Qin Yan waved his hand dismissively and joked, "It's fine. If you feel bad about it, just sell those Copper Tickets you have and give the money to me."

"How about it? Think it over."

He truly didn't care much about this amount of money right now.

To prepare for the Exchange Competition, the school provided a fixed daily subsidy of 30 academic credits.

And the value of 1 academic credit exceeded ten thousand huaxia coins!

In other words, the school's daily investment in him exceeded three million huaxia coins!

This bit of money was indeed just "pocket change" to him.

Of course, he also knew this was thanks to the Exchange Competition; the school was only willing to spare no expense in cultivating them, the participating team members.

However, even without this subsidy, it wouldn't be difficult for him to earn hundreds of thousands a day through Alchemy.

Zhou Nan clutched the heavy Golden Ticket Qin Yan had given her, but her gaze fell once again on Qin Yan's calm and indifferent face, a greater surge of emotion rising in her heart.

Others might just think Qin Yan was lucky or that Modu University of Martial Arts had generous benefits, but she knew things were definitely not that simple.

Golden front-row tickets were by no means something an ordinary Modu University student could easily obtain, let alone four at once!

This required more than just academic credits or money; it was a symbol of status and position!

Her own Silver Ticket had been obtained through a roommate's connections.

And her roommate's best friend was a reserve team member for Kunlun Martial Arts University this time!

Even so, they could only get a silver one.

For Qin Yan to be able to casually produce four Golden Tickets, his status at Modu University of Martial Arts was likely far more than just a regular outstanding student...

But she didn't expose her thoughts immediately. Her gaze toward Qin Yan simply became deeper and more inquisitive.

"Let's go, we'll head inside for a walk and stop by my place as well."

Qin Yan restarted the car, carrying the group into the beautiful, park-like campus of Modu University of Martial Arts.

Along the way, Qin Yan expertly played the role of a tour guide, introducing various buildings to his friends.

Every facility left Zhou Yuan and the others in constant awe, their eyes filled with longing.

When Qin Yan finally brought them to Heaven-Rank Estate No. 11 where he lived,

he pushed open the simple yet heavy gate, revealing a spacious courtyard.

When they saw the modern cultivation facilities and the exquisite three-story building, everyone present was once again stunned into silence.

"Is... is this the treatment for a Second-Rank Martial Artist at Modu University? This isn't a dormitory; it's a luxury estate!"

Zhou Yuan touched the smooth, mirror-like rosewood railing, his tone full of envy.

"Compared to our four-person dorm room, this place is practically heaven..."

Lin Yang also shook his head with a bitter smile, once again feeling the massive resource gap between a top martial arts university and an ordinary top-hundred martial arts university.

Zhao Bin looked at the fully equipped cultivation room, his eyes burning with excitement, wishing he could go in and experience it immediately.

"Qin Yan, do... do you live in such a large estate all by yourself?"

Zhou Nan suppressed the shock in her heart and asked, her voice carrying a slight, imperceptible tremor.

Qin Yan nodded and said casually, "Yeah, the school assigned it."

Hearing this, Zhou Nan's heart was shaken once more!

She knew better than the others that at any top martial arts university, being able to enjoy such a detached estate was definitely not just about being a "Second-Rank Martial Artist" in the ordinary sense!

This was usually a special treatment reserved only for the small handful of geniuses who were the most core, most valued, and had the greatest potential in the school!

Just how far had Qin Yan... reached in Modu University of Martial Arts?

This question grew wildly in her heart like a vine.

Zhao Bin snapped out of his longing for the training room and looked at Qin Yan, asking with anticipation and curiosity, "Qin Yan, your strength is so high and your treatment is so good, you must know the members of Modu University of Martial Arts's team for this Exchange Competition, right?"

"What kind of monsters are they? Give me some inside info?"

"I want to know how strong a true prodigy really is!"

He had seen several participating members at Thunder Martial University; each of them had an aura as deep as the sea, making them completely unfathomable to him.

He once had the honor of witnessing a member practicing sword techniques, where two condensed white sword energies erupted with a wave of their hand.

They easily sliced through a thick metal target!

That scene had brought him a tremendous shock.

Qin Yan looked at Zhao Bin's inquisitive gaze and caught Zhou Nan's thoughtful expression, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

His tone carried a hint of imperceptible playfulness. "I know them. Not only do I know them, but I'm also quite familiar with a few of them."

"Really?!" Zhao Bin's eyes lit up, and Lin Yang and Zhou Yuan also perked up their ears.

"Of course it's true."

Qin Yan's smile widened, carrying a bit of mystery. "In fact, speaking of which, you've already seen one of them today."

"Huh? Who? Where did we see them? Why didn't you point them out to me?"

Zhao Bin looked bewildered, quickly glancing around, thinking he had missed them on the road earlier.

Seeing his urgent look, Qin Yan finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, keeping him in suspense. "I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you!"

"..."

Beside him, Zhou Nan looked at Qin Yan's profile and his teasing smile.

Connecting the Golden Ticket, the private estate, and his unfathomable strength...

An answer that felt somewhat absurd yet perfectly logical was already on the tip of her tongue.

Her heart couldn't help but start racing.

Afterward, Qin Yan took them around some areas of the campus where visitors were allowed.

They tasted the specialty delicacies of Modu University.

During this time, Zhao Bin tried several times to press for more information about the team members, but Qin Yan skillfully changed the subject.

As it grew late, since Modu University of Martial Arts had a rule that non-students could not stay overnight,

Qin Yan drove the group, who were still wanting more, to a hotel they had booked in advance near the school.

"Alright, that's it for today. Get some good rest, and I'll see you at the competition venue tomorrow."

Qin Yan bid them farewell at the hotel entrance.

"See you, Brother Yan! Tomorrow we'll definitely go and cheer for you... uh, for our Modu University of Martial Arts!"

Zhou Yuan waved the Golden Ticket in his hand and shouted excitedly.

Lin Yang and Zhao Bin also said their goodbyes, though Zhao Bin still had a look of unresolved curiosity on his face.

Zhou Nan lingered at the back. She gave Qin Yan a deep look and said softly in a complex tone, "Qin Yan, tomorrow... good luck."
