Freshman competition, trade
The setting sun cast its glow over the vast campus of Mingzhu University.
First-year students, having gone through the freshman trial, had gradually come to understand the cruel competition at Mingzhu University.
They wandered around the campus.
They were preparing to enjoy their last day of peace.
Before coming, many knew the competition here was fierce.
But they hadn't expected it to be this intense.
And they even met a pervert.
At Mingzhu University, academic credits represented resources.
Many students in Xia Kingdom knew this.
As a result, on their second day, a freshman already had twenty million academic credits.
If converted into resources and sold for gold coins, its value would be around one hundred billion.
This was unimaginable for most freshmen.
One hundred billion assets.
Completely enough to establish a medium-sized professional family!
Was this still a freshman?
Some were amazed, some curious, some envious.
Of course, many also wanted to challenge him.
At Mingzhu University, academic credits represented strength.
But it wasn't absolute.
After all, the land list was real-time academic credits.
Many strong individuals would drop in rank after using academic credits to exchange for items.
In this situation,
A drop in rank did not mean weaker strength; on the contrary, it meant stronger.
Therefore, many believed that although Lin Xuan was first in academic credits,
His strength was not yet enough to dominate the outer court.
Some freshmen even thought he wasn't even worthy of being called the Freshman King.
After all, the Freshman King every year
Was determined through the Freshman Challenge!
And so,
Some who were unconvinced began to deliberately stir up trouble.
Directly calling out Jun Bujain.
See you at the Freshman Challenge!
"The Freshman Challenge adopts a voluntary registration system and is divided into three rounds."
"The first round is the transport ship free-for-all."
"Registered participants are evenly distributed among eight large transport ships. After thirty minutes, only one person from each ship advances."
"The eight advanced individuals are then divided into two waves and enter the City of Watch, adopting an offense-defense competition system."
"The four final victors advance to the arena competition."
"There are only two matches in the arena competition: the semi-finals, four into two, and the finals!"
On campus, many people gathered in front of the Freshman Competition bulletin board, checking the rules.
At this time, a professional wearing a fox head and carrying a large hammer nodded repeatedly.
"This competition system is good, free-for-all, offense-defense, arena."
"The three modes separately test decision-making, teamwork, and individual strength."
"Not bad, not bad."
"Not bad my foot, are you planning to sign up to contend for the Freshman King?"
The speaker was a man next to the fox-headed individual, carrying a short staff and wearing a crow-head hat.
"I just said its competition system is good, who said I was going to sign up?" the fox-headed individual retorted, his face full of helplessness.
"This year's Freshman King, only a fool would think there would be other candidates."
Just then, a red-haired man squeezed past the two.
His wine-red hair, coupled with his pale face, made him look somewhat sinister.
He looked at the two and sneered, "Heh, two cowards."
"Jun Bujain is strong, but his strength lies in those lightning Skeleton Soldierss."
"If it's one-on-one, one can completely avoid the Skeleton's lightning splash effect."
"Without the threat of that lightning, isn't it easy to deal with him?"
The man analyzed to himself, then looked around.
The fox-headed and crow-headed individuals had already left.
"Who was that person just now, muttering what?"
"I don't know, I'm sixth on the potential dragon list, you're ninth on the potential dragon list."
"Someone neither of us has seen nor knows, what kind of big shot could he be?"
"You can't say that; I think I just heard him say he wanted to deal with Jun Bujain."
"Oh, so he's a fool, then never mind. It's best to stay away from such a fool."
"By the way, do you think we should form a team?"
"A team, sure."
"I heard that many teachers at Ming University observe students' performance at school."
"They'll take those they're satisfied with as disciples."
"If we form a team and make a name for ourselves, then a bunch of teachers will definitely be scrambling to recruit us…"
The figures of the two gradually receded.
The red-haired man gritted his teeth, his face cold, and muttered to himself.
"Damn it!"
"I'll make you understand."
"Only those of us who were admitted early are worthy of being called geniuses!"
...
At this moment, Lin Xuan naturally didn't know that his stepping stone had emerged.
He was currently negotiating a transaction worth tens of billions.
Due to the magical elements in the air,
Electromagnetic waves were very unstable.
This led to cities being unable to communicate via the internet or mobile phones.
Jiang City was a considerable distance from Jianghai, making communication difficult.
After Lin Xuan said he wanted to exchange academic credits for job change scrolls and talent cards,
He had originally intended to leave and wait for news.
However, Li Ming actually stopped him.
He took out a horn-like item from his pocket.
And just like that, he contacted Shen Wanhe from Jiang City.
"Old Li, you decide; you can front the money first."
Shen Wanhe's buzzing voice came from the horn-like item, from Jiang City.
It was very deep and somewhat intermittent.
Fortunately, they could indeed communicate.
However, after that remark about fronting the money, Lin Xuan noticed
Teacher Li's face had visibly darkened a bit.
"Get lost, you! Making me front the money again! Is Hong Ying your daughter or my daughter?"
The voice went through, and soon a deep voice came back.
"She's our daughter."
"..."
There was some silence in the room.
Lin Xuan pretended to look up, indicating he heard nothing.
However, he was very surprised in his heart.
This Great Cataclysm really was a disaster.
Even men could have children?
The news was a bit explosive; he needed to digest it.
Smack—
Li Ming smacked the horn hard in the room.
Lin Xuan glanced out of the corner of his eye.
At this moment, Li Ming's demeanor was no longer quiet and elegant.
But somewhat irritable.
"I curse you, Shen Wanhe! What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"I have someone next to me right now?!"
"Speak clearly!"
"What do you mean 'our child'? I'm Hong Ying's godfather!"
"I'll front this money for you first. When I go to Jiang City in a few days,
"I'll let you know what it means to be the number one Shaman in the national server!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ming put the horn back into his backpack space.
He took a deep breath and returned to his usual demeanor.
"Heh heh, Lin Xuan, don't misunderstand."
"Old Lu, Wanhe, and I, the three of us have a life-and-death friendship."
"We swore back then that whoever had a daughter, the other two would be her godfathers."
"I understand, Teacher Li." Lin Xuan nodded.
"You understand, what do you understand?"
"Brotherhood, I get it."
"You get... never mind."
"Send me your account, according to the price we just agreed on."
"The job change scroll for the hidden profession Blue Fist, nine billion."
"Epic-grade talent card, twenty billion."
"After you operate your bracelet to exchange academic credits for items, the items will be sent to your residence."
"You can then directly give the two items to Hong Ying."
"..."
While Lin Xuan was utterly bewildered,
He seemed, roughly, perhaps, possibly, to have been kicked out.
"No, Teacher Li."
"I really didn't misunderstand anything."
Buzz—
Li Ming's courtyard was enveloped by a green light shield.
"Oh, well." Lin Xuan shrugged.
The Epic-grade talent card cost five million academic credits, and the hidden profession scroll cost two million academic credits.
A total of seven million, sold for twenty-nine billion.
It was a bit less than the legendary talent card at the time, but still good.
"First, buy two drops of life water."
"Seven drops of life water, five drops for Irena's transformation."
"The remaining two drops are for my aunt to restore her eyesight."
"I hope the person who sold life water last time still has stock."
