CHAPTER 20: Dragon Elephant
âOld Xia, arenât you going to ask me why I refuse to join your club?â
âToo lazy to ask. A Chu, you definitely have your reasons.â
After lunch, everyone dispersed after Chen Chu politely declined.
Chen Chu wanted to go to the logistics department to exchange for cultivation resources, and Xia Youhui volunteered to lead the way. On the way, Chen Chu was a bit surprised that Xia Youhui didnât ask him why he refused.
âBy the way, A Chu, if you complete your foundation establishment within half a month, according to the regulations, you can earn 3 contribution points each month. You mustnât waste them.â
âIf someone asks you for contribution points, just punch them and tell them to scram.â
âThere are people who buy contribution points.â
âOf course, no one has enough contribution points.â
Xia Youhui explained, âUnder normal circumstances, the exchange rate for contribution points at the school is one to one thousand, while in the black market it's one to three thousand, but thereâs no actual market for it.â
âEspecially for us new students, contribution points are more important as they can be exchanged for resources not available in the logistics department market.â
âAnd when each new student makes their first purchase of cultivation resources, the school gives a 10% discount.â
âFor example, the domineering elephant essence blood you are about to exchange costs fifty thousand in the market, and ordinary people canât buy it, but with contribution points, it only requires 20 points.â
âAlso for weapons, ordinary first-level alloy swords and knives sell for thirty to fifty thousand each externally, but at school, it only requires ten contribution points.â
âBesides, if you want to cultivate other martial arts, youâll need contribution points for exchanges. So, everyone is short on this, and some people have started to buy new students' contribution points.â
âSome new students who have just completed their foundation establishment, unaware of the importance of contribution points, canât resist the temptation of exchanging 1 point for 3000 or even 5000.â
âThis happens every year, and those students who sell their contribution points quickly regret it.â
âWhy doesnât the school remind those new students?â Chen Chu couldnât help but wonder.
Xia Youhui shrugged, âThe school isnât a nanny. Theyâve prepared all the basic resources for you, so if you canât resist temptation, who can you blame?â
âThatâs true.â Chen Chu nodded.
In this world, ordinary people are still the majority. For high school students from ordinary families, selling 1 contribution point for several thousand is indeed a huge temptation.
âMoreover, new students can only exchange for the corresponding cultivation resources with their discount privileges. There are many restrictions on the trading and exchange of contribution points, leaving no loopholes for anyone to exploit.â
As the two were talking, they arrived at the D building where the logistics department was located.
As soon as they walked into the office hall, some older students looked over. One student with dyed blonde hair was particularly enthusiastic.
âJunior, are you considering selling contribution points? You can get 5000 for just 1 point.â
Before Chen Chu could speak, Xia Youhui retorted angrily, âScram, go as far away as you can, you bloodsucking trash!â
The blonde student squinted his eyes, emitting a faint aura of danger, and said in a deep voice, âJunior, Iâm just inquiring about a transaction. No need to speak so harshly.â
âI advise you to be a little more polite. Iâm not a freshman.â
âWhat, do you want to bite me?â
Xia Youhui wasnât afraid at all, puffed out his chest, and scoffed, âCome on, if you have the guts, hit me. Just because youâve practiced for a year doesnât mean Iâm scared of you. Try hitting me if you dare?â
âCome on, hit me?â
Looking at Xia Youhuiâs arrogant face, the sophomoreâs expression darkened, but for some reason, he didnât dare to make a move.
