Chapter 68: Imperial City College

  Today is the third watch of the night, here, Xiaoxing wishes everyone a happy reunion and a blissful life.

  Upon hearing the term "contribution value", Huo Hai looked at Ji Mu with a puzzled expression, as he had never heard of it before. Ji Mu rolled his eyes and said in a low voice, "Not many people know about this, because ordinary people don't usually need to use it."

  Because he wanted to join Huang Cheng Academy, Ji Mu learned a bit about it. He didn't know if Huo Kai had forgotten or not, but he hadn't told Huo Hai about it before. As Ji Mu spoke, Huo Hai gradually understood what the academy's contribution was.

  Originally, what is meant by college contribution is something that can be obtained only after making a helpful contribution to the college or completing tasks assigned by the college. This thing is not currency but represents one's status within the college. College points can be traded freely, but college contributions cannot be traded. Each person's can only be earned by themselves.

  The academy's contribution is divided into two parts, one part is accumulation. As long as the contributions that have existed will be accumulated. Once a certain level is reached, a certain status will be obtained. Some important places in the college require a certain amount of college contribution to enter and exit.

  Another part is used as currency, some special items in the college can be purchased with a large amount of college points and a certain amount of college contribution value.

  That is to say, sometimes there are points but no contribution, and some special places cannot be entered. And sometimes, after gaining status, all contributions have been used up, and some things cannot be purchased either. This is a means for the college to curb students' blindness. At the same time, it is also a way to enhance the sense of belonging to the college and encourage more students to join Nanyun College in the end.

  As they spoke, the crowd had already arrived at the entrance of the academy. The academy occupied a vast area, and in Ho Hai's view, it seemed more like an academic city than just an academy. Everywhere in the city was bustling with people, which made Ho Hai feel very strange.

  At this time, Liu Yǐn suddenly spoke up and said: "Fellow disciples, you see these people, they are not students of the academy. The academy's enrollment is very strict, ordinary people cannot join. These people, most of them are service personnel living in the academy. There are also some who have already graduated and are now working at the academy."

  The implicit meaning is, don't underestimate these people. After all, some of them have already graduated, and if you accidentally provoke them, it's not certain who will end up being unlucky. In Huang Cheng Academy, no one has privileges.

  Of course, apart from a small number of people who are descendants of royalty. These are all tacit understandings, and no one will openly say them.

  Liu Ying pointed to a circular room in the distance and said in a low voice, "That place is a trading house, it's not a public place. If you're short of spirit stones in the future, you can exchange them for points here. One point, one hundred spirit stones, this is the normal price."

  Everyone nodded, and many people already knew. The team entered the college and soon arrived at the registration place. From a distance, Liu Yin greeted the staff: "Haha, we're back! I'm Liu Yin from the high-level class of this college, and this is the team I brought this year. However, we lost two on the way due to bandit attacks."

  As he spoke, Liu Yin glanced back at the people behind him. The crowd chimed in unison: "Yes, yes." Their tone was extremely perfunctory, making Liu Yin's head sweat slightly. What was wrong with them? Why this attitude? Liu Yin was getting angry.

  Especially Ji Yunfei, what's with that look. At this time, Ji Yunfei also straightened his waist and stopped nodding and bowing, like a hound dog. There was even some disdain in his eyes. What's going on here? Didn't we agree on the way? How could he betray us as soon as we arrived at the academy? Now there were only two or three people left following Liu Yi.

  These people are not talented enough and have a poor background. To say that only two or three of them were truly bought by Liu Yin.

  "You've lost two codes, you're really lucky to have only lost two." Upon hearing this, Liu Yin also stopped caring about what the people behind him thought. What's meant by good luck? This is sarcasm towards himself, wait a minute, something doesn't feel right.

  "What's going on? Why did you say I'm lucky?" Liu felt a little off.

  The student in charge of registration waved his hand: "To say, this year is also unknown what's going on, it seems that all kinds of chaos have appeared everywhere. The teams that went out to recruit students this year also encountered attacks. The two most unlucky teams, including the test administrators, did not return alive. The college has already sent people to investigate."

  At this time, not to mention Liu Han, even others felt that something was wrong. "What's going on, is there some organization targeting our Huang Cheng Academy?" In the Nan Yun country, who has such a big responsibility, who has such a great ability.

  "I don't know, it looks like they're connected but actually it's strange. The people who carried out the attacks have been investigated and most of them had no connection with each other. There were robbers, military personnel, local families... even a group that consisted of former graduates from the Imperial Academy. When caught, even they themselves didn't know why they attacked the Imperial Academy."

  To say the least, this incident is already the biggest news of the year. Some people even suspect in private that it was an organization using mind control techniques to manipulate these individuals and attack the academy.

  This has also led to a very small number of new students this year. Relatively speaking, the luck of this year's freshmen is unknown whether it is good or bad. Before arriving, they received an attack. However, after arriving at the college, the resources they enjoyed increased.

  The number of competitors has decreased, and even less than half, it's strange if there are not many resources. Those who have already arrived here, who would care about the life and death of others, and some people are still complaining. Chu Yun Tian, why did you take action so quickly? If a few more died, wouldn't that be better? Not thinking at all, if Chu Yun Tian didn't take action, maybe the next one to die would be themselves.

  The person in charge of registration acted very quickly and soon recorded all the information. After re-entering the information on the cards, they returned the cards to them. "Keep your cards safe, without them, you will have a hard time at the academy."

  The card has been replaced with a new one, no longer the preparatory student's card, but the formal student's card. On the back, there is a mark of formal students. In the academy, everyone has their own card, and different cards have different marks. Of course, the powers that can be enjoyed are also different. As a freshman, all contributions and status in the academy are zero.

  "Oh, right. If you want to exchange points for something, go over there. That's the college's material warehouse. Other libraries or equipment rooms require a certain number of college points. You need to go to the task point to receive tasks."

  After finishing speaking, he ignored them: "Alright, now follow your own leader and go get your rooms."

  These newly joined students are usually arrogant, and he doesn't have the mind to bother with these people. It's only when they see a large number of geniuses in the academy, and their edges are gradually worn off, that it's easy to bring them under control. Liu Yin thought about winning people over from the very beginning, but he looked down on him. He's really an idiot, no wonder he couldn't graduate all along.

  Liu Yin didn't respond, his mind was in a mess at this time. He didn't know why, but after coming to the college today, everything had become a mess. Even the people behind him were no longer listening to him.

  What's going on, and that Hao Hai is still so annoying. These bastards, I must make them look good. Now, let's just complete our own task first. This time, who knows how much college contribution we'll get.

  Everyone was soon led to a row of rooms outside. These rooms were all connected, just small rooms. Boys and girls were separated, of course they couldn't live together. "Alright, this is your room, these are the freshmen rooms. If you want to change to better and bigger ones, you need college credits and contributions, or upgrading your cultivation can also work."

  This room is really, I don't know what to say. No wonder when I came here, there was no one on the road. I'm afraid that as long as it's not a family with extremely poor conditions, they would have changed rooms already.

  Those with poor conditions, as long as their innate talent is not bad, and their cultivation can reach the Spiritual Blood Realm, no matter what, they can leave this place. Therefore, among these houses, there is currently not a single person left.

  Even Huo Hai doubted whether there were mice in this place, and if there were, would they starve to death. Seeing such a narrow room that two people couldn't even open their arms, everyone lost interest. "Forget it, let's just go buy a suite instead." At this time, a young man from a certain family was the first to speak up with these words.

  Actually, this kind of room was not intended for them to stay in for long. It's a motivating tool to tell them that if they don't have the ability, then they should never think about becoming superior. At least those who cultivate until here will have to stay for a few days.

  This kind of room, even Huo Hai doesn't want to live in it. Now that the points are not enough, it's no big deal, one room won't use up many points anyway.

  Liu Yin shook his head: "The Academy provides various rooms, houses, and even courtyards, large estates. As long as the status is sufficient, there are points and contributions that can be made. But the Academy's houses will not be sold, only rented."

  Renting out? This is real estate. I didn't expect that people in this world also know that doing real estate is the most profitable. It's really unknown whether one should admire the college administrators for being able to come up with such a method. After all, coming to the college, it's not easy to go out, so they're just giving you a place to live here. Huo Hai muttered discontentedly in his heart.

  "It turned out to be like this, so what about the price?" Ji Yunfei's tone had long lost that imperial arrogance.

  Liu Yin had a burning anger in his heart, but the task still needed to be completed: "The price of the room is acceptable. Ordinary rooms, one point per month, courtyards, ten points per month, large courtyards one hundred points, and large villas one thousand points."
