74: 200 million high school graduates

After entering Divine Punishment...

Su Yan first used his auction house pass to open the Auction House and contacted Witch Ge Ge.

During these past two months of frantic grinding in the Lava Mine instance...

In addition to gaining massive amounts of experience and Physique,

relying on his Max Luck, he had also obtained a mountain of instance Materials—Goblin Horns.

Su Yan had previously agreed to a long-term cooperation with the player Witch Ge Ge.

The two of them had arranged to trade tonight.

Demon Slayer: "You there?"

After the message was sent, the other party replied almost instantly.

Witch Ge Ge: "I'm here! Great Demon Slayer!"

Su Yan typed quickly, "Goblin Horns—how many does your Demon Slaying Institute need?"

Witch Ge Ge: "Same as always, Great Demon Slayer, we'll take as many as you have!"

Although Witch Ge Ge represented the Demon Slaying Institute and their financial strength was beyond doubt,

Su Yan still made a final confirmation.

"I might have quite a lot of stock this time. Are you sure you have the authority to take it all?"

Witch Ge Ge: "Don't worry. As the personal Disciple of a Grandmaster Alchemist... I still have that much authority!"

"Alright."

Su Yan wasted no more words.

"I'm listing them now, designated for sale to you."

"Okay!"

While marveling that the Demon Slaying Institute lived up to its name, which saved him a lot of trouble,

Su Yan listed his entire inventory of Goblin Horns for sale at the market price of 500 gold coins each.

But unexpectedly, very quickly...

Witch Ge Ge: "My god! Four-four-four... four hundred and ten thousand Goblin Horns?!"

Witch Ge Ge: "Sorry, Great Demon Slayer, I take back what I just said. I must go ask for my teacher's permission for this!"

What the hell? So she was just bragging.

And she calls herself a personal Disciple?

Seeing this message from Witch Ge Ge, Su Yan couldn't help but curl his lip.

However, he also admitted that

the number of Goblin Horns he had this time was indeed a bit much.

416,000 of them!

It couldn't be helped; his Luck was simply too high.

It was as if they were guaranteed drops, coming out one after another.

Before he knew it, he had accumulated this many.

After waiting for about ten minutes,

Witch Ge Ge finally returned.

Witch Ge Ge: "Sorry for the wait, Great Demon Slayer!"

Witch Ge Ge: "Teacher says that although Goblin Horns are a necessary material for making Advanced health potions, the Demon Slaying Institute doesn't need 410,000 of them."

Witch Ge Ge: "Otherwise, even if he spent the rest of his life crafting, he wouldn't be able to use them all up."

Su Yan was about to joke, "If he can't use them all, isn't there you? You can inherit these Goblin Horns in the future."

But then he saw Witch Ge Ge typing:

"But Teacher also said that if it's Demon Slayer, the Demon Slaying Institute must buy this batch of Goblin Horns."

"Teacher only has one wish. If Great Demon Slayer comes to the Imperial Capital in the future, please visit the Alchemy Department of the Demon Slaying Institute. Teacher wants to meet you."

A Grandmaster Alchemist wants to see me?

Su Yan gave a chuckle. "Go tell your teacher I agree."

"Mm-hmm!"

After finishing the chat with Witch Ge Ge,

"Ding-dong!"

A message popped up from the Auction House trading System.

"The [Goblin Horn] * 416,000 you listed has been purchased by player [Witch Ge Ge]!"

"208,000,000 gold coins have been deposited into your account!"

"As you are a distinguished auction house pass user, the handling fee for this transaction has been waived!"

Nice, 208 million gold coins have arrived!

Although he had prepared himself mentally,

Su Yan still couldn't help but catch his breath when he saw such a long string of digits.

Adding this to his original 90-plus million gold coins,

his total assets had reached nearly 400 million!

As for why he hadn't spent any money on daily living expenses during these two months,

even though he had such a huge appetite that a single meal cost as much as ten people's food,

it was because Jiangnan No. 2 High School had covered everything.

Furthermore, on top of the original 3,500 gold coin weekly supply for the Top Scholar Class,

the school had also separately issued Su Yan 20,000 gold coins as a 'Top Scholar Sprint Fund'.

Thus, Su Yan not only ate and drank for free for two months,

but he also received 80,000 gold coins—which is 8 million chinese currency—every month.

This was the wealthiest school Su Yan had ever seen!

Bar none!

The Principal is awesome!

...Now that his wallet was bulging,

Su Yan didn't hesitate and began to purchase armaments and equipment.

Because his Talent [Descendant of the Gods] provided blessings every day,

he didn't lack various potions for health, mana, healing injuries, or removing negative effects.

In fact, one could see from the Goblin Horns sold earlier

that medicines were the most liquid assets in the Auction House, accounting for the bulk of the turnover.

From Advanced medicines upwards, the prices were not cheap.

Unless a family had some background, they really couldn't afford this stuff.

And the divine blessings undoubtedly saved Su Yan a fortune.

What Su Yan needed to buy now was a set of defensive equipment.

Now that he already had the divine emperor armor, he needed to replace the armor for other parts of his body.

Since he had already decided on his targets,

Su Yan opened his favorites in the Auction House and added the four pieces of equipment he had saved to his shopping cart.

He clicked purchase with one tap.

"Ding-dong!"

"-97,261,450 gold coins!"

Ninety-seven million gold coins vanished in an instant.

Su Yan felt a twinge of pain in his heart,

but there was no other way; this money had to be spent.

"It's just a bit of pocket change. With my current strength, what's a few hundred million gold coins?"

Su Yan wasn't joking with this statement.

One had to realize that just by casually selling some of the lowest-level instance Materials,

he could obtain 200 million gold coins.

So as long as he wanted to make money, he could easily earn several hundred million gold coins.

The four pieces of defensive equipment he bought

were all Rank 700 S-grade equipment.

Why didn't he buy higher-level ones?

Because the highest level equipment for sale in the Auction House was only Rank 700.

And there were only six SS-grade pieces, but they were ridiculously expensive; even the cheapest one cost 100 million gold coins.

Su Yan admitted that an ordinary family couldn't afford them.

With that kind of money, he naturally chose to buy a top-tier set among the S-grade items.

Therefore, these four pieces of armor were all top-tier existences within the S-grade.

All of them came with permanent affixes!

They were:

When receiving damage from an enemy of a higher Rank than oneself, immediately gain a magic shield equal to 200% of Max HP.

Own attacks carry a Destruction effect, causing massive injuries.

Own attacks carry a Bleeding effect.

Sky Riding Technique, Flight Technique, and Soaring Technique levels increased by 1.

These affixes combined offense and defense; they were perfectly sufficient!

Su Yan even had 300 million gold coins left over for emergencies.

So worth it!

Once the equipment arrived...

Su Yan routinely used his Talent [Elemental Conversion] to change all the attributes of the armor to Physique.

After putting them on,

Demon Slayer, standing in the Lava Mine instance, looked completely brand new.

He appeared tall and straight, with an extraordinarily outstanding temperament.

Su Yan admired his own handsomeness for a moment before quickly opening his character attribute panel.

"These attributes of mine are insane!"

Looking at the attributes before him, Su Yan couldn't help but curl his lips upward.

Nearly 200 million HP and over 12 million defense!

It was bordering on psychotic.

Looking across the Blue Planet, how many people could currently break through his physical defense?

...That night.

Su Yan went to sleep early.

He rested his spirit, waiting only for the arrival of the National College Entrance Examination tomorrow.
