50: Chapter 50 You Can't Escape This Beating
Because living and eating at Modu Ability University requires the use of credits.
To ensure students can live normally, the school issues 10 credits to students every year.
Although 10 credits can be exchanged for 100,000 huaxia coin, which seems like a lot, it is truly not enough for ability users with huge consumption.
Carrying a plate of Tier 4 beast meat, Su Mu sat in a corner and ate silently.
Although it was expensive, he still wanted to taste what it was all about.
Su Mu looked at the meat on the plate and thought, 'Good thing the cafeteria lady doesn't have shaky hands.'
He picked up a piece of meat with a good mix of fat and lean and put it into his mouth.
"Damn! There's a reason why it's expensive!"
This beast meat was absolutely delicious, and after eating it, Su Mu felt his body heating up, as if the Source Power inside him was surging.
System, open panel.

Su Mu scanned it briefly and immediately discovered a problem.
The Source Power column had increased by 4 points.
When Su Mu looked at it last night, it was 866; just after one meal, it had increased by 4 points.
Immediately, Su Mu made up his mind that next time he went to the wilderness to hunt beasts, he must get some beast meat.
He would bring it back for Sister Leng Jing to cook, and by the way, he could let the sisters taste the beast dishes too.
Besides, Sister Leng Jing's cooking is superb; it would definitely be tastier than what the cafeteria cooks.
There was no class in the first period of the afternoon, so Su Mu planned to look around the school.
Currently possessing 1,000 credits, Su Mu could be considered quite wealthy; if a student only used them for meals, they probably wouldn't finish them by the time they graduated.
Like a street loafer, he wandered around Modu Ability University, asking seniors questions from time to time.
"Hello, Senior, do you know where I can spend credits?"
However, most of the time, Su Mu was ignored like an idiot.
Su Mu wandered around like a headless fly, and just then, someone behind him called out to him.
"Little Junior, you're a freshman, right!"
Su Mu nodded and looked at the person approaching; it was a chubby senior.
His first impression of this person was: which restaurant is so good!
"Yes, Senior, I am a freshman who just enrolled this year. I don't know much about the school."
"I see. My name is Liu Xiaofa, and I'm a sophomore. I saw you looking for a place to spend credits just now, right? I'll take you there!"
As he spoke, Liu Xiaofa put one hand on Su Mu's shoulder and was about to lead him forward.
Su Mu didn't say anything and just followed the chubby senior forward.
Before long, they arrived in front of a magnificent building, with the words 'Bailian Tower' written in gold-stamped characters on the plaque.
"Junior, this is the Bailian Tower, a pivotal place in our Modu Ability University. Countless experts love to stay inside. Most importantly, you can double your credits inside."
Su Mu looked at this senior, whose triangular eyes were practically glowing.
He had been wondering why there were people with nothing to do in Modu Ability University.
'So he's treating me as a fat sheep and wants to slaughter me.'
Understanding the senior's goal, Su Mu was in no rush to expose him.
He put on an excited expression. "There's such a good thing? Senior, tell me, how do I double my credits?"
Liu Xiaofa sneered inwardly.
'If there were a way to double credits, would I wait for a freshman like you? My own credits aren't enough to use. It just so happens that with a freshman like you, my credits can be doubled.'
"It's like this: you can bet on battles in the Bailian Tower. As long as you have enough strength, you can double 10 credits into 20 credits."
This trick worked every time for Liu Xiaofa; students who could enter Modu Ability University were all proud, and a little provocation would make them bet their credits on a battle.
Liu Xiaofa was going to continue provoking him, but he didn't expect Su Mu to nod directly.
"Okay, Senior, how do I sign up? I want to fight!"
"Good, good, good, come, I'll take you to sign up!"
As he spoke, Liu Xiaofa led Su Mu to the registration desk.
"Come, Junior, fill in how many credits you want to bet here, and then wait for someone willing to duel with you, and you can go directly to the arena to fight."
Su Mu filled in 10 credits directly.
Just as Su Mu submitted it, a voice rang out inside the Bailian Tower.
"Please have Su Mu and Liu Xiaofa go to Arena No. 8 for the battle."
Su Mu looked at Liu Xiaofa, pretending to be very confused.
"Senior, we are going to fight?"
"Junior, what a coincidence. I also submitted a battle application; I didn't expect it to be a battle between us."
Su Mu pretended to be dejected.
"That's too bad. I definitely can't beat you, Senior. I thought I would run into a freshman."
The two went to Arena No. 8 together.
After Su Mu's performance, he finally lost to Liu Xiaofa.
Returning to the Bailian Tower, Liu Xiaofa was about to leave, but Su Mu suddenly spoke up.
"Senior, I want to participate in another battle. I hope I don't run into you, Senior."
Liu Xiaofa's eyes lit up.
"You still have credits?"
"I still have some. I bought quite a few credits on the black market last night."
In the black market outside Modu Ability University, one can use huaxia coin to purchase credits, but it basically takes over 10,000 to get one credit.
"How many credits do you still have?"
"I still have 100 credits." Su Mu said.
Liu Xiaofa was laughing like crazy. He had found five or six freshmen, and adding what he had saved before, it was only a little over 100.
Who knew that running into a random freshman today would yield so many credits.
"Good, good, good, then let's make a big bet. Maybe we can upgrade our gear immediately."
Just like before, Su Mu filled out the battle application, and just like before, just as he submitted it.
A voice came from inside the building: 'Please have Su Mu and Liu Xiaofa go to Arena No. 3 for the battle.'
Su Mu still looked at Liu Xiaofa with an innocent expression.
Liu Xiaofa, however, couldn't hold it in and laughed out loud.
"Junior, oh Junior, you are truly stupid. But this can be considered paying tuition; grow a brain in the future."
Su Mu put on an angry and embarrassed look.
"You're rigging the system, manipulating the battle list."
"Hahaha, hilarious! You submitted the battle list; I just submitted my battle list. Where is the rigging? Don't spout nonsense."
Subsequently, Liu Xiaofa walked toward Arena No. 3, and before leaving, he didn't forget to mock him.
"Just a reminder, Little Junior. If you don't get on the arena in ten minutes, it will be settled as a failure."
Watching Liu Xiaofa's chubby figure waddling toward the arena.
Su Mu finally revealed a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Idiot."
Standing on the arena, Liu Xiaofa still had a smug look on his face, while looking at Su Mu mockingly.
At this moment, Su Mu no longer pretended; he took out his spear directly.
Dark lightning surrounded his body.
"Come on, Senior Liu. Once you're on the arena, you can't escape this beating."
