"Old Xia, why don't you ask me why I refuse to join your club?"
"I don't want to ask. Ah Chu, you must have your own reasons."
After lunch, everyone dispersed after Chen Chu politely declined.
Chen Chu was going to the Logistics Department to exchange training resources. Xia Youhui volunteered to lead the way. On the way, Chen Chu was a little surprised that Xia Youhui didn't even ask him why he refused.
"Oh, by the way, Ah Chu, if you complete the foundation building within half a month, you can get 3 contribution points every month according to the regulations. Don't use them indiscriminately."
"If someone asks you for contribution points, just punch him and tell him to get lost."
"Some people are also buying contribution points."
"Of course, there aren't enough contribution points for everyone."
Xia Youhui explained: "Under normal circumstances, the exchange rate of contribution points in school is 1:1,000, and on the black market it is 1:3,000, but there is no demand for both."
"Especially for new students like us, contribution points are more important. They can be exchanged in the logistics department for resources that are not available in the market."
"And the school will give every new student a 10% discount when they purchase cultivation resources for the first time."
"For example, the Tyrant Elephant Blood Essence you are going to exchange for costs 50,000 yuan on the market, and ordinary people can't buy it, but it only costs 20 contribution points to exchange it."
"There are also weapons, such as ordinary first-level alloy swords. They are sold to the public for 30,000 to 50,000 each, but only 10 contribution points are required to exchange them at school."
"In addition, if you want to practice other skills, you also need contribution points to exchange, so everyone is short of this thing, and some people have reached the point of purchasing new contribution points."
"Some freshmen who have just established their foundation, without knowing the importance of contribution points, can't help but ask for the high price of 3,000 or even 5,000 for 1 point."
"This happens every year, and students who sell their contribution points soon regret it."
"Why doesn't the school remind the freshmen?" Chen Chu couldn't help but wonder.
Xia Youhui shrugged: "The school is not a babysitter. The basic resources are all prepared for you. Who can you blame if you can't help yourself?"
"That's right." Chen Chu nodded.
The world is still mostly populated by ordinary people. For high school students from ordinary families, one contribution point can be sold for thousands of yuan, which is indeed a huge profit.
"Furthermore, the discount privileges of freshmen can only be redeemed for their corresponding cultivation resources. There are also many restrictions on the trading and redemption privileges of contribution points. There are no loopholes for people to exploit."
As the two were talking, they arrived at Building D where the Logistics Department was located.
As soon as they entered the office hall, some students older than them looked at them, and one of them with dyed blonde hair was particularly enthusiastic.
"Junior, do you have any idea to sell contribution points? Just 1 contribution point can be sold for 5,000 yuan."
Without waiting for Chen Chu to speak, Xia Youhui said angrily: "Get out, get as far away as you can, you blood-sucking newborn rubbish."
The blond boy narrowed his eyes, exuding a faint dangerous aura, and said in a deep voice: "Junior, I am just asking if I want to trade normally. There is no need to speak so harshly."
"I advise you to be more polite. I'm not a freshman in high school."
"Why, you still want to bite me?"
Xia Youhui was not afraid of him at all. He puffed out his chest and said disdainfully: "Come on, hit me if you have the guts. Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you've practiced a year earlier. Try to hit me if you have the guts."
"Come on, hit me?"
Seeing Xia Youhui approaching with an arrogant look on his face, the sophomore student had an unpleasant expression on his face, but for some reason he did not dare to make a move.
"I really can't do anything to you at school, but don't be too arrogant." After saying that, the blond boy left coldly.
"Tsk! Threatening me, do you think I was scared?"
Xia Youhui said disdainfully: "Don't think that practicing for one more year is a big deal. My brother is a high-level practitioner. If you have the guts, try to bully the weak outside the school."
When the blond boy heard the words "high-level practitioner", his face suddenly changed and he walked away much faster.
Watching the senior students leave, Chen Chu couldn't help but look at Xia Youhui with a new look of recognition, and said, "Not bad, Old Xia, I didn't expect you to have such an arrogant side."
"Hey! Ah Chu, your choice of words is inappropriate. I am scolding you for the sake of justice. How can you call me arrogant?"
"But there's really no need to worry about these senior students. They don't dare to take action in school, and can only use their power to scare the freshmen."
"As for leaving school, they will not retaliate for such a small matter. Otherwise, if they are reported, they will not be able to bear the consequences."
As they were talking, the two came to the window counter.
"Teacher, I want to exchange for a portion of Tyrant Elephant Blood."
"Enter your student ID."
"Authentication passed..."
"Basic Elephant Blood Essence requires 20 contribution points, but since you are a freshman, you can get a 10% discount on training resources and weapons for the first time. Are you sure you want to exchange it?"
"Sure."
There were no twists and turns. After deducting 2 contribution points from Chen Chu, the teacher turned around and operated a few times on the wall cabinet at the back.
Then the edge of the wall moved, and a grid similar to a small freight elevator lowered, opening to reveal a palm-sized black bottle.
After accompanying Chen Chu to exchange for the blood of the Tyrant Elephant, Xia Youhui left with a smile. He still had to practice in the afternoon.
Chen Chu went back to the third floor alone and applied for an independent practice room.
In the training room of about 20 square meters, Chen Chu took off his shirt, took out the bottle of Tyrant Elephant Blood and opened it. Immediately, a strong smell of blood came towards him.
Chen Chu carefully poured out a drop of blood that was as thick as jelly, and a burning feeling came from his hands.
As requested, Chen Chu began to smear the essence and blood on his body, including his front, back, arms, and legs. Soon his body was covered with scarlet blood.
At this time, Chen Chu closed his eyes slightly, and the beginning of the Dragon Elephant Skill emerged in his mind.
"Human power is limited. Humans alone cannot fight against those giant creatures. For this reason, I created this technique to strengthen myself by using external forces."
"To practice this technique, you need to smear the whole body with the blood of elephant-like mutant beasts. The blood of Tyrant Elephant is the best for beginners. After smearing the blood all over the body..."
Recalling the steps of cultivation, the Qi and blood in Chen Chu's body began to circulate along the route of the Dragon Elephant Skill. His mental power emanated, attracting the energy of heaven and earth that permeated the surrounding area.
boom!
As the extraordinary energy entered his body, Chen Chu's blood and qi were ignited again. As the qi and blood circulated, the blood of the Tyrant Elephant applied on his body was also affected.
The essence and blood became hot and dry, and strands of heat mixed with extraordinary energy flowed into Chen Chu's body and were refined together with the circulating qi and blood.
Faintly, Chen Chu heard the deep and domineering roar of a giant elephant, which shook his consciousness.
Chen Chu ignored these mental influences and focused on circulating his Qi and blood to refine the extraordinary energy and blood essence. One turn, two turns...
Whoosh!!
As he absorbed the blood essence of the Tyrant Elephant and practiced his skills, Chen Chu's physique began to undergo special changes, and his muscles and membranes became stronger and more resilient.
Even his internal organs were affected. His breathing became heavy like an elephant's roar, and a faint, oppressive aura gradually emanated from his entire body.
It was as if the person standing there was not a teenager, but a giant elephant, awe-inspiring.
