50: Purchase Points

Lu Qianyuan left the crowd; the scores had already been tallied, so there was no point in him staying.

The remaining pressure test and score-grabbing battle were scheduled for tomorrow; today was over.

Lu Qianyuan left the academy and found a secluded inn to stay. This time, he didn't pay but instead snuck in directly.

Then he turned off his phone and got a good night's sleep.

Time flew by, and the next day, Lu Qianyuan arrived at the academy on time, completely invisible.

For someone like him, without power or influence, he was just a walking score-package in the eyes of those people.

Presumably, many people were currently thinking about how to get his scores to elevate themselves.

If he were discovered, it would definitely be very troublesome.

He came to the classroom and quietly waited for the upcoming pressure test.

At this time, there weren't many people in the classroom; most were wandering outside.

Lu Qianyuan slept again, and when the time was right, he dispelled his invisibility and went to the sports field.

At this time, a large number of students had gathered on the sports field, mostly preparing to watch the upcoming pressure test and those who wanted to gain scores through the score challenge.

Although only the first three challenges could strip 20% of the challenged person's scores, winning afterward could still add 100 points to oneself.

Don't underestimate these 100 points; most students only had a few dozen or even a few points.

100 points were enough to double their scores.

Most of these people had sold their scores and were preparing to seize scores in the final score challenge to determine their final ranking.

"Old Zhang, your academy is doing well; this time, twelve people scored 1,000 points."

The bald principal said to Zhang Sheng with a smile, his tone full of envy.

"You're doing well too; you had ten."

Zhang Sheng said with a smile, then praised him.

Seeing the two of them engaging in commercial flattery, the remaining three principals turned their heads away, pretending not to see.

Because scores were limited, the number of people who could reach 1,000 points was also limited; in one examination hall, only about a dozen people could achieve over 1,000 points.

If monsters like Ye Yan and You Muxue appeared, this number would decrease further.

"Alright, time's almost up; it's time to start the test."

After a period of conversation, the group finally prepared to begin today's main task.

"Cough, cough, all candidates with scores above 1,000 points, please gather on the sports field. The pressure test will begin in ten minutes."

Lu Qianyuan waited silently. Just then, someone came up to him.

"Hello, my name is Hu Yun."

Hu Yun extended his hand, showing a friendly smile, but he was met with Lu Qianyuan's disregard.

"If you're planning to buy scores, then forget it; you can't afford the price I want."

Hu Yun heard this and wasn't angry at all.

He wasn't afraid of Lu Qianyuan speaking; he was afraid of Lu Qianyuan saying nothing. As long as he was willing to sell, there was a chance.

"We can discuss the price, and I'm not planning to take Student Lu's scores. I can arrange for three people to challenge you at the start, then concede, so you won't lose any scores."

"Then I'll challenge you later. I just need you to pretend to be exhausted and lose in our subsequent battle, allowing me to get 100 points."

Hu Yun said sincerely, his tone genuine and his posture humble.

"I'm willing to offer a high price of ten million to buy these 100 points from Student Lu. How about it? Student Lu doesn't need to lose any points; just pretend to lose."

"One hundred thousand a point, that's a generous sum."

Lu Qianyuan praised him.

One hundred thousand a point, if it was just to buy scores, this price was definitely top-tier, and it wouldn't affect Lu Qianyuan's own performance.

Who wouldn't want to accept such a good deal?

But with so many people present, why did Hu Yun choose him, and only for a mere 100 points?

If it were to sell his own scores, others would certainly be unwilling, but if it was just 100 points, Lu Qianyuan believed many people would be tempted.

Lu Qianyuan didn't think he had anything special. The biggest difference between him and others was that he was a commoner, without power, influence, or resources.

Hu Yun probably wasn't trying to buy scores; he was trying to win people's hearts.

Lu Qianyuan thought to himself, but it was a pity; it was only ten million, and he wasn't very keen on putting in so much effort for that money.

His strength had increased now; he could go out of the city and kill some third-tier mutated beasts to farm some Battle Spirits, so there was no need to do this.

"Unfortunately, I refuse. Please look for someone else."

Hearing Lu Qianyuan's refusal, Hu Yun was a bit surprised but not disappointed.

"Since Student Lu is unwilling, then so be it. But business aside, we can still be friends. My family is in the Battle Spirit business. If Student Lu wants to buy or sell Battle Spirits, you can always find me, and I'll give you a fair price."

Hu Yun said, taking out a business card and handing it to Lu Qianyuan.

This time, Lu Qianyuan didn't refuse. He took the business card and looked at it a few times: [Jinmiao Chamber of Commerce].

"I'll remember that."

Hu Yun smiled and left.

Not long after Hu Yun left, four more people came before Lu Qianyuan.

The leader had an arrogant expression and a haughty demeanor.

"Hey, are you Lu Qianyuan?"

Lu Qianyuan sighed helplessly, regretting stopping his invisibility so early.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have encountered such an idiot.

"I want to buy your scores, twice. Name your price."

Lu Qianyuan ignored them, but he also didn't want to expose the existence of his invisibility.

He had done many bad things using invisibility, and if it were discovered, combined with his scores, it was still possible to expose his true strength.

Lu Qianyuan sighed helplessly.

"How many points do you have now?"

"1120 points. Do you have a problem?"

"Then you're in luck."

Li Changluo heard this and was full of doubt.

However, he didn't think much of it and continued to speak.

"I'm offering thirty thousand a point. This price is already quite a bit higher than the market price. I'm not asking you; I'm informing you."

"You currently have two thousand points. Even if you lose twice, your score will still be above one thousand points. If you don't sell, don't blame me; I'm giving you a chance."

"You can play dead now, but the outcome won't change..."

"Slap!"

Lu Qianyuan couldn't listen anymore and directly interrupted the chattering Li Changluo with a slap.

Li Changluo was shocked. He looked at Lu Qianyuan in disbelief, his eyes full of anger.

Seeing this, the three people beside him immediately made a move, preparing to take the opportunity to beat Lu Qianyuan and teach him a lesson.

Lu Qianyuan was not afraid at all. Just as the group was at loggerheads, ready to act, a light shout rang out from a distance.

"Li Changluo, stop!"

Hearing this voice, the anger in Li Changluo's eyes, who had just been slapped, immediately dissipated, replaced by fear.

He immediately told the people beside him to stop, then turned to look at the newcomer.

"Good day, Elder Sister."

Li Changluo said respectfully, and the newcomer was Li Xiqing.
