239: Section 239

"These all command different prices. Just the amount you ate earlier, it wasn't that much, just a few slices of meat; it doesn't reach the astronomical price level, so... five hundred!"

After Old He finished explaining, Lin Yi was still a bit confused. Even if it was as he said, and the price differentiation for Yao Beasts was significant, it shouldn't be solvable with just five hundred, right?

"Alright, Master He, I'll pay you in cash!" Lin Yi withdrew his bank card and took out five hundred in cash.

"Hahaha... Walk slowly, young friend, come again next time!"

"Okay!" Lin Yi nodded and walked out of the small courtyard.

On the way home, Lin Yi pondered over what he had just eaten. No matter how he calculated it, it was definitely worth more than five hundred; Old He had definitely gone easy on him. He just didn't understand why Old He would do this. Could he have ulterior motives? Lin Yi couldn't figure it out. He always felt Old He's kindness towards him was inexplicable. Giving discounts, giving away food...

Suddenly, a phone ringtone rang, pulling Lin Yi out of his deep thoughts. He glanced at the caller ID; it was an unknown number.

"Hello?"

"Hello, greetings, is this Lin Yi?" On the other end of the phone was the voice of a strange man.

Lin Yi nodded: "Yes..."

"Hello, I'm from 'Deliver Anywhere' Express, your acceptance letter has arrived..."

Chapter 190: The Pie I Promised You, Redeemed Today

The bus arrived at the stop. Lin Yi hurried off the bus.

He looked around, searching for the delivery courier. As it turned out, not far away, he saw a man wearing black leather clothes and pants, with a cigarette between his fingers, leaning against a heavy motorcycle, looking cool. Lin Yi glanced at him, and his brows furrowed slightly. [5-Star Martial Artist Certification]

Just now on the phone, that courier had said he was wearing all black and waiting at the station. Could it really be him? Has delivering express become so competitive now? Even 5-Star Martial Artists have joined this profession?

"Hello, are you from 'Deliver Anywhere' Express..." Lin Yi approached and said with a polite smile.

After he spoke, the man turned around and looked Lin Yi over a few times: "You are Lin Yi?"

"Yes, that's me!" Lin Yi nodded; the identity matched perfectly.

The man took a deep drag of his cigarette and turned back to take a black leather bag off the motorcycle. He unzipped it and rummaged through it for a while. Finally, he took out something that looked like an envelope. However, there was a steel stamp on the envelope.

"This is it, your acceptance letter. Sign here, please!"

"Thank you!"

After Lin Yi took it, the man immediately handed him a signature sheet. Signing his name, Lin Yi thanked him again and walked back towards the residential complex. The man, meanwhile, rode off on his motorcycle.

On the way to the residential complex, Lin Yi glanced at the envelope. His brows furrowed immediately. He saw that it was clearly an acceptance letter from [Lanshan University].

Lin Yi was a bit dazed and looked at the recipient again; it was indeed his name. "I don't think I applied to Lanshan University, right? Why did they send me an acceptance letter?"

After opening the envelope, inside was indeed an acceptance letter, along with a New District pass. This reminded Lin Yi of what Wei Nan had said in the morning. Currently, those universities in the New District were all fighting over Martial arts examinees, especially those ranked at the top...

"So this is how they fight over them?" Lin Yi suddenly realized.

That meant that Martial arts examinees with top scores in the Martial Arts Exam would all receive acceptance letters from those universities? And students who received the letters, unless they had a clear goal and a specific university they wanted to attend, would find their resolve wavering. Or, if the university they applied to didn't admit them, they could choose other universities...

"This is truly fighting over students!"

Lin Yi smiled and put the acceptance letter back into the envelope. He walked into the residential complex.

However, what Lin Yi didn't expect was that in the next two days, he would receive an average of 2-3 acceptance letters. There were prestigious schools like Longhu University, Martial Alliance University, and Lanshan University. There were also some Martial Arts Universities that hadn't made it into the top tier but possessed their own unique strengths. In two days, Lin Yi received at least seven or eight acceptance letters.

"Are you guys allowed to be so relaxed when filling out your applications? You can fill in so many Martial Arts Universities at once?"

"This is already the ninth time we've met, right?" The delivery courier frowned, looking at Lin Yi with a bewildered expression. Except for this batch of Martial arts examinees, such a situation had never occurred in previous years.

Lin Yi smiled awkwardly: "If I said I only applied to one university, would you believe me?"

"You applied to one university? And seven or eight are fighting to have you? Is that what you mean?"

"Pretty much!"

"Fine, you Martial arts examinees this year really know how to play!"

"So, have you decided which university you're going to?" The courier took a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and pulled one out to offer to Lin Yi. After being refused by Lin Yi, he put it in his own mouth. With a soft click, he lit the cigarette and began to puff away.

Lin Yi smiled: "No need to choose, I'll stick with my original application!"

"Alright, it's good to have a goal. What's scary is having no goal, making yourself choose blindly, and then it'll be too late to regret it!"

"I'm heading out, still have quite a few acceptance letters to deliver!" The courier got on his motorcycle, cigarette in his mouth, and drove off into the distance amidst a huge roar.

The ninth acceptance letter. Lin Yi didn't even have the desire to open it. Fortunately, the day after the first acceptance letter, the one from Xingwu University had already arrived. Now he wouldn't consider other universities.

Just as he was holding the envelope and about to walk into the residential complex, his phone rang. Lin Yi picked up his phone and took a look; it was unexpectedly a call from Chu Zhengxiong.

"Hello? Big Brother Chu?"
