Chapter 228: Chapter 72: First Impressions of the Academy 2

Translator: 549690339 

Zhou Hui said gloomily, “Didn’t I say it before? There are many missions, such as assisting alchemists in pill concocting, assisting Beast Tamers in raising demonic beasts, and assisting divine literature masters in their work. All of them will receive merit points.”

“Those who are strong and confident will challenge the academy’s Top 100 ranking and enter the top 100 ranking. Every month, they will receive merit points as compensation!”

“The ranking of the top 100?”Su Yu was slightly stunned.

Beside him, the short girl hurriedly said, “I know, senior sister. Is it the ranking for the Cultivation Stage?”

“It can be considered as that.”

Zhou Hui smiled and said, “That thing can only be listed on the ranking for the cultivation stage, and it has to be one of the strong ones! After the age of 30, it will not be listed on the ranking. The reason why the graduates are not listed is to give rewards to other students.”

The short girl said again, “Senior sister, I’ve heard my aunt say this before, but I’m prepared to walk the path of an alchemist. My strength is definitely not strong, so how can I get on the list?”

“That’s simple!”

Zhou Hui smiled and said, “The top 100 list is mainly for combat sects. Actually, Alchemists, Talisman Masters, and military masters all have their own lists. You can also enter these lists, but you’re not as famous as the top 100 list.”

After saying that, she looked at the envious new students on the table, zhou Hui chuckled and said, “Don’t even think about it! “Don’t even think about how many people there are in the civilized academy. There are only so many people who graduate every year. Under the age of 30, there are at least over a thousand people who are unable to graduate in a year. The others have left the academy… If we count it up, with the accumulation of more than ten years, there are over ten thousand students!”

There were over ten thousand students under the age of 30.

Many of them could not stand it and had already left the university. Otherwise, there would be even more people.

Zhou Hui smiled and said, “There isn’t one nurturing class. There are all kinds of major departments. If we count it up, there are around five thousand nurturing students under the age of 30 in the university. Among them, a hundred are on the list… It’s better for you new students to forget about it!”

“There’s so much recuperation?”

On the table, a male student said in surprise, “Isn’t that too much?”

“This is still considered a lot?”

Zhou Hui said disapprovingly, “There’s a lot of recuperation. This doesn’t even count as students over the age of 30!”! Having a willpower of 50% at full capacity was recuperation. It would be enough for the new students to spend a year or two. However, when it came to recuperation, they would stay for a long time. The academy still has a large number of 70-to 80-year-old recuperation students!”

Zhou Hui shook her head and sighed. “It’s too difficult to fly. There were 62 graduates in the Academy last year, 16 of them were under the age of 30, and the rest were over the age of 30! That’s still considered good. Most of them will never be able to fly in their entire lives.”

Everyone instantly fell silent.

Zhou Hui quickly smiled and said, “Don’t worry. If it really doesn’t work out, we can just change careers. Take Me for example. If I can’t fly at the age of 30, I’ll leave the academy and find my own way out!”

“We have strong willpower and have switched to the warrior path. Qianjun and Wanshi are still very fast. When we reach wanshi, we can find a decent job anywhere.”

A student couldn’t help but ask, “Senior sister, how Old Are You?”

Zhou Hui’s gaze was dangerous as she said, “It’s very dangerous to ask this question, do you understand?”

After saying that, she returned to her smile and said, “I’m still alright. I’ve been in the Academy for six years and I’m 24 this year. It’s fine to ask me. If you ask those senior sisters who have stayed in the academy for decades… you’ll all be unlucky!”

The students all laughed, and the atmosphere eased up a lot.

Everyone had been very nervous before, but Zhou Hui seemed to be very talkative. She didn’t have the cold arrogance of the other seniors, so they could continue chatting.

Su Yu and the others also saw that the surrounding tables were frighteningly quiet.

Some seniors ate by themselves and didn’t pay any attention to the new students.

Obviously, this was just a mission. They were only responsible for leading the way, and didn’t care about anything else. If they wanted to talk, they would talk. If they didn’t want to talk, they didn’t care about the new students at all.

What Su Yu cared about the most was the merit points. At this moment, he asked again, “Senior, I heard that we also need merit points in class. Is it very expensive?”

“Of course!”

Zhou Hui said, “Not all of them. Some basic subjects do not need merit points. But when it comes to professional knowledge, especially the writing of the will, then the merit points will be scary!”

Zhou Hui said with a pained expression, “For example, the teaching assistant’s classes, writing the writing of the will on the spot, each class will require at least 5 merit points! Beginner researchers, that’s 10 merit points! Intermediate and advanced researchers, you can’t afford them at all. In fact, they rarely give lessons to freshmen. Those who cultivate their character have to see if they are geniuses or not. Otherwise, they wouldn’t waste their time teaching us.”

“You guys go to the library and the library pavilion. They all need merit points.”

Su Yu said in surprise, “The library and the library pavilion are different?”

“Of course they are different. The library is all ordinary books, and the library pavilion is the essence. They are all the original books of the ten thousand races, or the will writings written by some human experts. Some of them may be overdone, but they are much more precious than ordinary books.”

Zhou Hui sighed. “The library, the library, classes, cultivation, pills, weapons, talismans… all of these require merit points, not to mention secret realms. There are a few secret realms open to the academy, and one merit point is terrifying. I’ve been here for six years, and I’ve only been there once…”

Zhou Hui gritted her teeth and said, “Just like that, it took me several years of savings to return to before I entered the academy. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have bothered to pick up new students like you.”

Everyone felt sad and miserable.

It was as if there were no merit points here. It was simply impossible to survive. It was too terrifying.

A student said in a low voice, “Fortunately, when I came, my father gave me 30 merit points…”

As soon as these words were said, Zhou Hui instantly looked at that person and her eyes lit up. “Classmate, how about lending me?”
