After adjusting his mentality in the room, Su Yu went downstairs.
…
In the restaurant.
Zhou Hui had already started eating, surrounded by several new students, and other students also arrived one after another.
It wasn't just their place. There were also several tables nearby where an old student and several new students were sitting.
"come over!"
Zhou Hui waved at Su Yu and waited for him to come over. Zhou Hui smiled and said, "Go get yourself something to eat. You don't even know how to eat, do you?"
Su Yu smiled, said nothing, and went to get some food.
This restaurant is similar to a buffet style.
After getting back from the meal, Zhou Hui had almost finished eating. Other students also came down one after another. Zhou Hui motioned for them to eat and watched them eat from the side. While eating, she said, "In previous years, some genius students came to the academy and knew nothing!"
"I thought the school was his home. He ordered the seniors around. Some even asked the seniors to help serve the food..."
Zhou Hui smiled and said, "Luckily you guys are not so stupid, otherwise... I would have become rich!"
Everyone looked at her blankly, what did she mean
"Stupid, you work without getting paid?"
Zhou Hui whispered, "Everyone, look, I'm not the kind of senior who would cheat people. Look around you. If any senior serves rice to the freshmen... hehe, then the freshmen will be in trouble!"
"According to the rules of the school, there must be rewards for your efforts! If I work for you, you have to pay me. The minimum is 1 merit point. The wicked ones will ask you for 3 or 5 merit points. You have no choice but to pay me. It's your fault that you have no hands or feet!"
Zhou Hui giggled and said, "Just wait and see, this will definitely happen. Some freshmen are too stupid and too arrogant. They think the school is their home!"
The expressions of Su Yu and the others changed.
Is it so dark
Fortunately, they didn't feel comfortable asking Zhou Hui to help them with the work. A short girl next to Su Yu said with some fear: "Senior, you wanted to help me with my luggage just now, didn't you charge me for it?"
"certainly!"
Zhou Hui said as a matter of course: "I see they can all carry it, you are carrying your luggage and it's wobbly, shouldn't I help? Don't worry, I'm not a bad person, I'll help you get to your room for 1 merit point!"
"… "
The short girl looked relieved, she had carried it up by herself and felt embarrassed to trouble the senior at that time, but now it seems that she has saved some credit.
For the students, one point of merit is a lot.
Even if one has a wealthy family, merit points are not spent in this way.
This is equivalent to tens of thousands of dollars for carrying luggage!
Who can stand this!
Su Yu didn't care about this, and said softly: "Sister Zhou, are there any rewards for the old students to welcome the new students?"
"Yes, one trip, one merit point!"
Zhou Hui smiled and said, "It's not a small amount. Many people can't get it even if they try to get it. Only students in our character cultivation class have the chance to get it. It's easy and safe, and the time is short. It's not easy to earn 1 merit point at ordinary times."
As she spoke, Zhou Hui looked at the group and said with a smile, "Are there any top students among you?"
The short girl raised her hand cautiously and said, "I am."
Zhou Hui's eyes lit up, "You are top-class? Then there is a 100 merit point reward for admission?"
The short girl was a little scared when she saw her eyes glowing, but she still nodded and said, "Well, I heard there is a 100-point reward..."
"Junior sister!"
Zhou Hui said with a sharp look in her eyes: "Have you ever considered lending it out? 100 points, lend it out for 3 months, and you will get 110 points back! Anyway, you won't be able to use it once you enter school, so it's a waste to keep it on you! You can lend it to me, a senior, and I will lend it out for you. After 3 months, I will give you 110 points, and you will make a net profit of 10 merit points!"
"… "
Su Yu and the others were stunned!
City people are so good at having fun!
Even the students from other cities had dazed expressions at this time. The Civilized Academy really knew how to have fun!
The short girl was almost crying with fear, and said hurriedly: "No, I still need to exchange some skills for the original ones."
"oops!"
Zhou Hui smiled and said, "You don't know how to calculate at all. Forget it, I won't cheat you. Anyway, if you can't spend it all, you can consider lending it to me. I'll leave you my contact number later."
After that, she looked at the others at the table and said with a smile, "You too, can consider it! Of course, some of you may also be top students, but it's not shown in the information, and I'm too lazy to ask."
"Don't worry, no one dares to cheat your merit points. This is a civilized school, so there must be interest. I don't know how many merit points the school is short of. We will temporarily make a profit and return them to you soon..."
Su Yu couldn't help but ask, "Senior Sister, is it so difficult to earn merit points in the academy?"
"Of course!"
Zhou Hui said helplessly: "We are not warriors, and our physical strength is not strong, so we can't accept some tasks. There are also many elderly people who haven't graduated from the academy. Some translation and assistance work are not our turn to take, and they are snatched up in a short time!"
Zhou Hui sighed, "I've been in the academy for six years, and I've entered the cultivation phase. But even at this stage, there aren't many good missions to take. Otherwise, why would I come to take in freshmen like you? Now you need merit points to read the Will Article, attend classes, eat, and sleep..."
Zhou Hui said dejectedly, "I can't even live like this anymore."
Hearing her describe such a miserable situation, everyone felt sympathetic.
It’s so miserable!
Su Yu was also a little worried and asked, "Then there is no way to earn merits?"
"Yes, I have!"
Zhou Hui said depressedly, "Didn't I say that? There are many tasks, such as assisting the alchemist in refining pills, assisting the beast tamer in raising monster beasts, and assisting the divine script master in his work. You can all get merit points."
"Those who are strong and confident can challenge the top 100 list of universities. If you enter the top 100 list, you will be compensated with merit points every month!"
"Top 100 list?" Su Yu was slightly stunned.
Beside him, the short girl hurriedly said, "I know, Senior, is it the ranking list for the cultivation stage?"
“I guess so.”
Zhou Hui smiled and said, "Only those who cultivate their character can make the list, and only the strongest ones can do so! Those over 30 will not be included in the list, and graduates of Tengkong will not be included in the list either. This is to reward other students."
The short girl said, "Senior, I heard my aunt say this, but I plan to become an alchemist, so my strength is definitely not strong, so how can I get on the list?"
“This is easy!”
Zhou Hui smiled and said, "The Top 100 list is mainly for practical practitioners. In fact, alchemists, talisman masters, and military masters all have their own lists. You can also enter these lists, but they are not as famous as the Top 100 list."
After that, Zhou Hui looked at the freshmen at the table with jealous faces and said with a smile: "Don't even think about it! Don't even think about how many people there are in Wenming Academy. There are only so many people graduating every year. Under the age of 30, there are at least thousands of people who are unable to graduate, and the others leave the academy... In total, there are tens of thousands of students in more than ten years of accumulation!"
There are more than ten thousand students under the age of 30 alone.
Many of them could not stand it and have left the school, otherwise the number would be even greater.
Zhou Hui smiled and said, "There is not just one character-cultivation class, all major departments have them. In total, there are about 5,000 character-cultivation students under the age of 30 in the academy, and 100 of them are on the list... You freshmen, forget it!"
"So many fostering qualities?"
At the table, a boy asked in surprise: "Isn't this too much?"
“Is that a lot?”
Zhou Hui said disapprovingly, "There are so many people who are cultivating their character. These students are not even over 30 years old! When the willpower reaches 50% full, it is called cultivating one's character. It only takes one or two years for freshmen to do so. However, they stay in the cultivation stage for a long time. There are still a large number of students in their seventies and eighties who are cultivating their character in the academy!"
Zhou Hui shook her head and sighed, "It's too difficult to achieve levitation. Last year, the school had 62 graduates, 16 of whom were under 30 years old, and the rest were over 30! That's still considered good, most people will never have the hope of achieving levitation in their lifetime."
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
Zhou Hui quickly smiled and said, "Don't worry, if it doesn't work out, you can just change your career. For example, if I still can't make a breakthrough by the age of 30, I will leave school and find my own way!"
"We have strong willpower, and we can quickly turn to the warrior path and reach the level of Qianjun and Wanshi. Once we reach the level of Wanshi, we can find a decent job anywhere."
One student couldn't help but ask, "Senior, how old are you?"
Zhou Hui looked dangerous and said, "It's very dangerous to ask this question, do you know?"
After that, he smiled again and said, "I'm fine. I've been in the academy for 6 years and I'm 24 this year. It's okay to ask me, but asking those senior sisters who have stayed in the academy for decades... you will be in trouble!"
The students all laughed, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Everyone was very nervous before, but Zhou Hui seemed very talkative and didn’t have the coldness and arrogance of the other seniors, so they were able to keep the conversation going.
Su Yu and the others also saw it. The tables around were eerily quiet.
Some seniors just ate by themselves and ignored the freshmen.
Obviously, this was just a mission. They were only responsible for leading the way and didn't need to worry about anything else. They could only speak if they wanted to, and ignore these newcomers if they didn't want to.
Su Yu was most concerned about the merit points, so he asked again, "Senior, I heard that we also need merit points to attend classes. Is it expensive?"
"certainly!"
Zhou Hui added: "Not all of them are needed. Some basic subjects don't require merit points, but once it comes to professional knowledge, especially writing articles of will, the merit points are scary!"
Zhou Hui said with a pained face, "For example, the teaching assistant course requires writing the will on the spot, and each class is worth at least 5 merit points! For junior researchers, that's 10 points! You can't afford the intermediate and advanced ones at all. In fact, they rarely teach freshmen. Those who are nurtured must be geniuses, otherwise they won't waste their time teaching us."
"You need merit points to go to the library and the book collection pavilion."
Su Yu was surprised and asked, "Are libraries different from book collection pavilions?"
"Of course they are different. The library is full of ordinary books, while the collection pavilion is the essence. They are all original books of all races, or the texts of will written by some powerful human races. Some of them may be out of effect, but they are much more precious than ordinary books."
Zhou Hui sighed, "The library, the book collection pavilion, classes, cultivation, elixirs, weapons, talismans... all of these require merit points, not to mention the secret realms. The merit points for entering the several open secret realms in the academy are terrifying. I've been here for six years and have only been there once..."
Zhou Hui gritted her teeth and said, "That's it. I spent several years of savings and went back to the time before I enrolled. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother to come and pick up you new students."
Everyone felt sad, it was so tragic.
It seems like it’s impossible to survive here without merit points. It’s so scary.
One student whispered, "Fortunately, my father gave me 30 merit points when I came here..."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Hui looked at the man instantly, eyes shining, and said, "Classmate, how about lending it to me?"
"… "
Everyone was speechless. This senior sister really didn't care about food or meat and would borrow from anyone who needed it.
Seeing that the man didn't say anything, Zhou Hui sighed, "Forget it, stingy guy! But 30 merit points... are useless! After a few months, you will find that these merit points... are too few!"
Zhou Hui shook her head and continued, "Besides, it's not yours. If your merit level isn't up, there are some things you can't exchange for, even if you have merit points. Even if you have the qualifications for the secret realm, you may not be able to enter even if you have merit points."
"Even if it's open, the most common one requires more than 30 points of accumulated merit to enter."
Zhou Hui shook her head and said, "Those high-level secret realms require hundreds of points of accumulated merit. Just think about it, how can you accumulate hundreds of points of merit unless you go to the sky!"
Su Yu hurriedly calculated how many merits he had accumulated.
He only got 18 points of accumulated merit in the language of all races.
The last time I completed a mission, I got 10 points of accumulated merit.
I got first place in the assessment and a total of 40 points, but 20 of them were extra rewards and did not count as accumulated merit.
This is 48 points of accumulated merit. There are also rewards this time, more than 40 points, which means the accumulated merit is close to 90 points.
Su Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had accumulated a lot.
Even if he only had a hundred points of accumulated merit, he would soon reach the mark.
The academy does this to actually give opportunities to students from ordinary families. Everyone needs to accumulate merit points, and the chances of entering the secret realm are actually equal. Even if a large family has no shortage of merit points, they cannot enter if they have not accumulated enough.
If they have accumulated enough, students from ordinary families can almost earn the merits to enter the secret realm on their own.
"This rule actually restricts members of large families..."
Su Yu understood a little bit. In the academy, it actually depends mainly on oneself. Family background is useful, but it may not be as great as imagined, which weakens the influence of the big family.
Zhou Huike didn't care what Su Yu was thinking, and continued: "It's too early to tell you this now, you will know it yourself in a while! When you first enter the academy, your main task is to master the basic knowledge, choose subjects, and select teachers... Of course, this is the treatment for geniuses."
Zhou Hui shrugged and said, "If you are not a genius, then just attend the big class honestly. If you want to have a private class, you have to have merit points."
After that, he looked at the short girl and said with a smile: "Liu Ke, you are a top student, there must be a researcher who will accept you. Do you have a target now? If not, how about I recommend one to you?"
The short girl Liu Ke said timidly: "No need, senior sister, I already have a teacher."
“What a pity!”
Zhou Hui looked regretful, "I'll introduce you to a teacher. If you succeed, I can get some merit points. What a pity!"
After that, he looked at the people around him and said with a smile: "Do you have any top-notch ones? Above average is fine. After all, top-notch ones are a minority. For those above average, there is a great hope of finding an assistant teacher. I will introduce you to the one that suits you best. If both parties like each other, I can also get some benefits."
On Su Yu's right, a boy raised his hand and said, "Senior, I failed the midterm exam. Can you find a teacher who is suitable for me to guide me?"
“There is hope!”
Zhou Hui nodded and said, "We'll talk privately later. There aren't many new students this year. They said they'd reduce the number of places by 500, but in reality they've crammed in a mess. Plus, a bunch of people went to the small town for the assessment, so the actual number of students enrolled is about the same as in previous years, probably around 2,000."
"The lower class is the majority, at least 1,200 people, the middle class is 500 to 600, and the rest are probably the upper class..."
Zhou Hui then added: "This year, the university has regulations and requirements for researchers. There may be hundreds of researchers who want to recruit students. If they recruit hundreds of people, those with average qualifications actually have a chance..."
Su Yu waited for her to finish, then continued, "Senior, if no one accepts new students this year, will there be a chance in the future?"
"some!"
Zhou Hui said with a smile: "Senior, I am also going to try this year to see if there is a chance to find a teacher! But the teacher doesn't like to accept old students..."
Zhou Hui began to sigh again, "They say we are old-timers and have become more mature, but they don't think about what we can do! No one accepted us when we first enrolled, so we have to slowly improve ourselves. If we weren't old-timers, we wouldn't be able to cultivate to this level. Really, we can only take it one step at a time!"
After that, he looked at Su Yu and said, "Su Yu, you are from Nanyuan. I heard that Nanyuan seems to have a top-notch..."
After saying that, Zhou Hui blinked!
What is the name of Nanyuan's top grade
As senior students, they seldom care about this. Freshmen may care about each other, but who among the senior students cares about this? No matter how great they are, it has nothing to do with me.
The other freshmen didn't know either, but Liu Ke suddenly looked at Su Yu with some curiosity.
Su Yu
Is it him
Top students generally only care about top students. No one cares about those who are worse than themselves unless they are very close.
Liu Ke is a top student, so naturally he also cares about other top students this year.
Although there is no complete list, Nanyuan is the only one, and she seems to have heard of him. His name is... Su what's he
Su Yu
Zhou Hui's eyes changed as well. It seemed that the other people from Nan Yuan had not arrived yet. Not only Nan Yuan, but also the ordinary students from several cities over there seemed to have not arrived yet.
Su Yu seems to be the only one from Nanyuan!
This... that top guy is this guy
"Is it him?"
Zhou Hui's eyes lit up slightly. Su Yu didn't say anything, so she didn't expose him. However, she was still a little more enthusiastic and said with a smile: "Student Su Yu, please write down my phone number and contact me if you need anything! Like looking for a teacher, looking at materials, understanding the list of geniuses in the school, the list of the top 100, etc. Contact me anytime. It's cheap, no merit points required, and cash settlement is fine!"
"Same to you!"
After Zhou Hui finished speaking, she suddenly took out some books from her bag and said with a smile, "Since we are at the academy, we should actually buy a copy of the General Handbook of Daxia Civilization Academy. It's cheap and affordable!"
Liu Ke became interested and asked hurriedly, "Senior, how much is one copy?"
"Not expensive, 500 yuan a copy!"
Zhou Hui smiled and said, "This is the latest version. It will be updated at any time. The old version is worthless. The black-hearted senior sold you 1 point of merit for the new version. You are itching to buy it, right?"
Many people nodded, this is true.
Especially the top 100 list. Everyone was actually very curious. Zhou Hui turned a page and pointed at it casually and said, "This is the strongest teaching assistant chapter of the school. Look, Xia Yuwen is ranked first. Maybe some people know him, but who is the second and third?"
"Interested?"
"Also, this is the latest ranking of students. Who is the strongest student under 30 years old?"
"This is the list of junior researchers at the academy. Who is the most powerful among the junior students?"
"… "
"This is… "
Every time Zhou Hui said it, everyone's heart was moved. The next moment, the students became interested and took out money to buy things!
Su Yu was also tempted. He was also very curious about this. He knew less than others. Even though it hurt a little, he took out 500 Anping coins to buy a copy.
There were about ten students, each holding a book. Zhou Hui held the money and smiled widely.
This thing costs 30 yuan per copy, and the profit is more than ten times!
It’s a pity that she doesn’t have many students.
And the heart is not black enough!
Just as she said, she was kindhearted. Suddenly, a freshman exclaimed, "3 points of merit for one book, that's too expensive!"
"Do you want love?"
Over there, an old male student said nonchalantly, "This thing is so expensive. It involves the internal information of a civilized institution. Do you think it's that simple? I also took a risk to bring it out!"
At this moment, some veteran students at the surrounding tables were secretly shocked. Damn, it’s too dark!
Some of them only accept cash, some only accept 1 merit point. This guy is too shady, he wants 3 points at once, he is simply a shady guy!
Of course, no one exposed it.
Although this guy is black-hearted and seems to be able to make a lot of money, but... be careful that the new students will become powerful in a few years and come to settle accounts with you. It is not impossible.
When it comes to how much you can earn, don’t just look at the present, you also have to look at the future.
Zhou Hui was also envious, but she didn't care too much. If you really meet some talented students, they will be stingy. After a few years, they will become stronger and make things difficult for you just for these few merits. Haha... just wait for bad luck!
She didn't care. Su Yu and the others suddenly looked at her with gratitude.
It seems like I made a lot of money!
Others buy a book with 3 points of merit, which costs tens of thousands, or even fifty or sixty thousand. They only need 500 yuan. There is no harm without comparison!
I thought it was expensive before, but now I suddenly feel it is worth it!
Several people carefully hid the books so that no one would know that they bought them at a low price.
Zhou Hui laughed secretly. This was good. Among this group of people, there were at least two top students. It would be best if they had no resentment. Maybe they could even leave a good impression.
You make money and improve your impression. No matter whether these people remember it in the future or not, you have at least left some favors behind.
As for the old student next door, he probably doesn't care about these freshmen. He will cheat every one of them. Maybe they will leave in a few years. There is no point for them to stay in the school if they don't leave.
"Go back and take your time. I'll pick you up tomorrow and take you to the dormitory. By the way, top students can live in Yangxing Garden. I advise you to go there if you have the chance. Otherwise... hehe, those ordinary dormitories will bore you to death!"
Zhou Hui gritted her teeth and said, "Eight people in one room, you are reading a book while others are practicing martial arts, you are practicing martial arts while others are taking a bath, you are taking a bath while others are reading... You will go crazy!"
Su Yu's face changed slightly. Is it so tricky
8 people per room!
You have to know that this is cultivation, not daily living, and the most taboo in cultivation is to be disturbed!
At this moment, Su Yu suddenly felt a little depressed. Does that mean I have to live in Yangxing Garden
50,000!
I don’t have that much in my entire possessions!
Zhou Hui was actually observing him secretly, and smiled inwardly when she saw this. Sure enough, this was probably the top student from Nan Yuan. Yes, she actually had two top students to meet this time.
Even though it is just welcoming a new student, good communication may be beneficial.
Zhou Hui was secretly proud in her heart. It paid off to act coquettishly with the researcher who assigned her tasks. The list assigned to her was pretty good.
