Chapter 46

Walking through the academy, Lin Moyu could feel wave after wave of energy fluctuations.

These energy fluctuations came from various locations across the academy.

"This is the students practicing their skills."

Bai Yiyuan casually explained.

He seemed majestic and imposing, yet he possessed absolute patience with Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu asked, "Do all skills need to be practiced?"

Bai Yiyuan explained, "Aside from class talent skills and some special skills,"

"most skills must be leveled up through practice."

This answer was similar to Lin Moyu's own guess.

Skills required constant practice and usage to become powerful.

Lin Moyu then asked a second question, "Is just using them more enough?"

Bai Yiyuan smiled, "It's hard to say. Every skill is different. For some, practicing alone is useless."

"You'll understand this knowledge once you officially enter the academy."

"The instructors will teach you in detail."

Skill knowledge was a complete, systematic discipline; it wasn't something that could be explained in just a few words.

Lin Moyu understood this.

Since Bai Yiyuan had made it clear enough, he did not press further.

The energy fluctuations never stopped.

They came wave after wave, continuously.

From time to time, bursts of light illuminated the night sky.

"They are all working so hard," Lin Moyu thought to himself.

Even though it was just their first meeting, Xiajing Academy had left a deep impression on Lin Moyu.

The students here were all very hardworking.

They were still practicing their skills in the middle of the night.

Then he thought about his own skills…

They didn't seem very convenient to practice.

Xiajing Academy was unexpectedly massive.

The two of them walked for a long time before reaching their destination.

"This is the residential area."

"You will stay here tonight. Someone will explain the specific details to you."

"Keep one thing in mind: at Xiajing Academy, almost everything can be traded."

"However, it must be based on mutual consent; there is no forced buying or selling."

Someone was already waiting and quickly ran over upon seeing Bai Yiyuan.

"Greetings, Lord God Bai."

The person bowed respectfully to Bai Yiyuan.

God Bai held an extremely high status in the Shenxia Empire and was respected by countless people.

Even if Lin Moyu didn't say anything, he held the same respect for Bai Yiyuan in his heart.

Bai Yiyuan nodded, "I'll leave him to you. I'm off."

"Get some good rest. Someone will come to guide you tomorrow."

Bai Yiyuan was very busy; it was impossible for him to handle every little thing himself.

For him to personally come and receive Lin Moyu this time was already an immense honor.

How many people in the entire Shenxia Empire could enjoy such treatment?

Lin Moyu's expression was calm, and his tone was equally flat, "Okay."

A single, simple word. Bai Yiyuan didn't say anything, but it gave the person next to them quite a fright.

Who would dare to speak to Bai Yiyuan so coldly?

He had never seen anyone do so.

To his surprise, Bai Yiyuan merely nodded, turned, and departed, vanishing into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

Since Lin Moyu was brought here by Bai Yiyuan, the man did not dare to be negligent.

He asked politely, "You must be Lin Moyu, right?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "Yes."

His tone was still flat.

The man was a bit uncomfortable, finding Lin Moyu too cold.

But he didn't dare to say much.

"Where do you want to live?"

"We have several options here."

Xiajing Academy was not only massive, but its residential area also occupied a vast expanse.

There were multiple choices.

Quad, double, and single dormitories.

Detached villas.

Villas with training grounds.

The prices for different housing options varied greatly.

Chapter 60: Points Must Be Spent Wisely

Lin Moyu now truly understood why points were more useful than gold coins.

A quad dorm was the cheapest, costing 500 points a month.

A double dorm was 1,000 points a month.

A single dorm cost 2,000 points a month.

As for those detached houses, the points required monthly were in the tens of thousands.

If you didn't have points, you could also pay with gold coins.

But you would have to add two more zeros to the end.

A quad dorm would cost 50,000 gold coins a month, and a single dorm would cost 200,000 gold coins.

This was indeed not cheap.

Lin Moyu only had a few hundred gold coins on him right now.

Each point could be exchanged for 100 gold coins.

However, gold coins could not be exchanged for points.

If caught doing so, one would be severely punished.

Bai Yiyuan had said that at Xiajing Academy, almost everything could be traded.

Exchanging gold coins for points was one of the few exceptions.

In addition, there were many resources that could only be purchased with points.

As a result, points became the most important hard currency in the academy.

For places where gold coins could be used, one would absolutely not use points.

Points had to be saved whenever possible.

Through the man's detailed explanation, Lin Moyu learned a lot.

His name was Jiang Tao, a student who had entered Xiajing Academy the year before last.

Currently, he worked as an administrator in the residential area, managing minor affairs while earning a few points on the side.

From his words, it was clear that points were not easy to earn.

Perhaps because of Bai Yiyuan, Jiang Tao was exceptionally polite to Lin Moyu.

"Student Lin, I know you just finished the grand exam, so you should have quite a few points on you."

"But I still want to advise you to save your points as much as possible. There are too many places where you'll need them later."

Lin Moyu understood that he should spend sparingly.

However, first, he had no gold coins, and second, he did not want to live with others.

"I want a single dorm."

Jiang Tao looked at Lin Moyu, "Are you sure?"

Lin Moyu nodded.

Jiang Tao sighed, "Sigh, you really are rich and willful. If you don't know how to save now, you'll regret it when you find out how hard points are to earn."

He sighed repeatedly, sounding like an experienced senior who had a story to tell.

He led Lin Moyu into the residential area, entered Building 8, and went straight to the second floor.

"Building 8 consists entirely of single dorms."

"On the second floor, except for Rooms 206, 208, and 209 which are already occupied, the rest are empty. Take your pick."

Lin Moyu scanned the row and pointed to the nearest room, "This one."

"Room 201. Give me your ID card so I can register it."

An ID card could only be used by its owner; even if it was lost, it would be useless to anyone else who found it.

Jiang Tao took a machine, swiped the ID card, and then had Lin Moyu confirm with his fingerprint.

With a beep, the points were deducted.

Jiang Tao's eyes suddenly widened, and he let out a strange cry.

"How do you have so many points?"

The machine was currently displaying Lin Moyu's points balance.

After deducting 1,000 points, there were still 133,605 points left.

The balance of over 130,000 points gave Jiang Tao quite a shock.

Lin Moyu said, "It's from the rewards."

Jiang Tao looked at Lin Moyu as if looking at the God of Wealth, "No wonder you wanted to stay in a single dorm. It turns out you have so many points."

"Since I entered the academy, I've only earned less than 10,000 points in total, which isn't even a fraction of your spare change."

"You really are rich."

"Alright, from now on, Room 201 in Building 8 is your dorm."

"No one can enter without your permission."

"Before you terminate the lease, no one else can rent this dorm either."

"Get some good rest. Let me know if you need anything."

Lin Moyu nodded, then suddenly asked, "Senior, have you ever heard of Lin Mohan?"

Jiang Tao thought for a moment and shook his head, "Never heard of her."

"Your name is Lin Moyu, so Lin Mohan must be your relative, right?"
