30: Giving too much

“Student Ye, welcome to our National Martial Arts University of Daxia. On behalf of the school leadership, I sincerely congratulate you. I will send you an electronic copy of the admission notice after I return. Please sign this contract.” A huge weight lifted from Niu Qingtian’s heart.

Although he knew that the benefits his school offered were unmatched by other schools, he was still very nervous before the decision was finalized.

Now, the mission was finally accomplished.

Ye Liuyun looked at the contract with a slight Confuse and asked.

“Director Niu, what does this X-Rank contract mean? Also, can you explain the seventh-Rank Vicious Beast Cultivate resources you just mentioned?” Ye Liuyun took the contract and looked up to ask.

“Haha, it’s like this: an X-Rank contract is the highest standard special enrollment contract for all universities.

The content of this Rank of contract is that once signed, the school will cover all your expenses for the four years of university.

Food, clothing, housing, transportation, and consumables like battle suits and weapons—the school takes care of everything. Not only that, but the National Martial Arts University’s Martial Arts Hall is also open to you without restriction.”

Ye Liuyun listened to Niu Qingtian’s words and nodded.

He understood this. In other words, he wouldn't have to spend money for university, and he could use the school's resources freely.

“What about the seventh-Rank Vicious Beast Cultivate resources?”

“These so-called Vicious Beast resources are energy potions formulated from the residual power within powerful Vicious Beasts after they die.

They can enhance Physique and replenish Qi and blood.

The higher the Rank, the better the effect.”

Ye Liuyun’s eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this. This was good stuff, a great tonic!

Niu Qingtian saw Ye Liuyun’s expression and smiled knowingly. He knew that Ye Liuyun would find this temptation hard to resist.

“As for the last item, our honorary principal, Wang Mang, is the only Beast-type ninth-Rank existence in Daxia. And before I came, I already received Principal Wang’s order that I must recruit you to our school.

He wants to personally accept you as his Disciple. For a ninth-Rank super expert to accept you as his Disciple, this is a rare opportunity that cannot be easily found.”

The only ninth-Rank Beast-type?

Hearing this, Ye Liuyun already understood. It was likely that his Beast-type S-Rank ability had caught the attention of this Senior. But this was a good thing.

“If there are no problems, you can just sign the contract.” Niu Qingtian smiled and handed him a pen.

“No problem, thank you, Director Niu.” Ye Liuyun quickly scanned some important notes and signed his name.

“Phew, now that this is done, I won’t bother you anymore. The start date of school will be sent to you with the admission notice.” Niu Qingtian, whose mind had been tense all night, relaxed. With the contract signed, the matter was settled.

“Old Senior, Student Ye, I’ll be taking my leave then.”

“Liuyun, see Director Niu out.”

“Alright.”

Ye Liuyun escorted Niu Qingtian to the door.

Before leaving, the latter turned back and instructed, “Old Ning is my old Senior, a Senior in the military. You must take good care of him.”

“Don’t worry, Director Niu, I will.”

Ye Liuyun nodded solemnly.

Even though Ning Nanguo only spoke one sentence the entire time, that one sentence played a very important role.

“No need to see me off, goodbye.”

After Niu Qingtian got into the car, Ye Liuyun let out a breath. His university life was about to begin.

He turned and entered the villa.

Ning Nanguo had arrived in the living room at some point. He looked at Ye Liuyun with a smile and said, “Come, let’s chat.”

“Alright.”

Ye Liuyun came to the living room and sat down. Secretary Liu quietly retreated and closed the door.

Ning Nanguo leaned back on the sofa and said calmly, “Although National Martial Arts University is not in the top three in rankings, I know Wang Mang. That guy won’t treat you unfairly. You just need to study hard and grow up quickly to protect Daxia.”

“Yes, adoptive father.”

Ye Liuyun said without hesitation.

Since he enjoyed the nation’s resources, he would naturally contribute to Daxia in the future. Moreover, hunting Vicious Beasts was an unavoidable responsibility for him.

“You heard what I said just now. When I was young, I suffered injuries on the battlefield, so having children is impossible for me…”

Ye Liuyun sat upright on the sofa, quietly listening to the Old Man narrate his story.

Ning Nanguo had dedicated most of his life to the country. Being alone, he had no attachments.

Some pilot projects always started in Lu Province. He had done many things and also offended many people.

If Ye Liuyun decided to acknowledge him as his adoptive father, then his political rivals might secretly try to trip him up.

After saying so much, the core meaning was to tell Ye Liuyun to think it through.

There was still room for reconsideration.

After all, with Ye Liuyun’s current talent, his future achievements would certainly not be low.

Looking at the Old Man with a face full of wrinkles, Ye Liuyun’s lips curved into a smile. He plopped down next to Ning Nanguo and put his arm around his shoulder.

“You’ve already told me to call you Dad, so you can’t back out now. I’m still counting on your status to protect me.”

Ning Nanguo was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, “You rascal… In that case, I won’t be long-winded.”

“Exactly! Why are you being long-winded when I’m getting the better deal? From now on, we’re sworn… bah… father and son.”

Ning Nanguo felt very warm in his heart. Ye Liuyun’s carefree demeanor suited him best.

He pulled a ring from his embrace.

“Consider this little trinket a gift for you.”

Ye Liuyun took it and began to fiddle with it in his hand.

The Old Man was quite romantic, giving him a ring.

Ning Nanguo watched Ye Liuyun casually playing with the ring, shook his head, and teased, “This thing can be sold for thirty million outside.”

Ye Liuyun heard the terrifying number and immediately clasped the ring with both hands, his eyes full of shock, “So expensive? Is it made of gold?”

“This is a storage ring. It has a hundred square meters of space inside.”

“Storage ring—”

Ye Liuyun’s eyes were dazed. This world had such a thing? This was unbelievable!

“Just drip your blood into the blood groove at the end of the ring, and you can use it. There are also some small items inside.

Now hurry up and go home to study it.” Ning Nanguo said, waving his hand.

“Hey, Old Man, why are you chasing me away? Don’t you need me to help you upstairs and cover you with a blanket?

Let you feel the warmth of family affection?”

“Scram!”

“Alright, hahahaha!”

Ye Liuyun was driven back by the driver.

In the villa.

Secretary Liu’s heart was already churning with shock. He had noticed the ring on Ye Liuyun’s hand earlier.

That was awarded by Daxia to Ning Nanguo for his outstanding performance in battle.

Ning Nanguo cherished it dearly!

...After returning home, Ye Liuyun eagerly forced out a drop of blood. His current Physique was too strong to bother with knives or needles.

He forced the blood from his body and dripped it into the groove, and immediately, a peculiar connection appeared in his mind.

When he saw what was inside the ring, he froze on the spot. Money… so much money.

There were also some Martial Skills and such.

He was rich overnight.

After exiting the storage ring, Ye Liuyun solemnly called Ning Nanguo.

“Lao Ning, tell me honestly, are you about to die?”

“You’re the one about to die! I’m perfectly fine.”

“Then why did you give me so much money? Did you embezzle it?”

“Embezzle my ass! My annual salary is tens of millions. Ye Liuyun, did you come over in the middle of the night just to curse me?”

“Dad! My dear Dad! How about I change my surname to Ning? Otherwise, I feel guilty taking this money.”

“You—”
