“Chen Qi, head to the nearby town today and procure additional supplies for Xuanji School—rice, vegetables, and all necessary provisions. We should have everything prepared before our departure to Red Clouds Peak tomorrow. Make sure to take the list with you!”
“Considering our future task of locating the 101 first-generation disciples, let’s focus on getting our preparations in order.”
With that, Qiao Mu left behind these words and departed with MO Lian and the others, leaving the two elderly men bewildered and helpless.
What had just transpired?
They had initially intended to take the opportunity to playfully tease their Second Headmaster, but it seemed that they had dug a hole for themselves and inadvertently fallen right in.
Chen Qi lamented by pounding his chest: The Heavenly Feather!
Lu Zheng’s countenance turned ashen: No, my intricate diagram!
After investing so many years into its creation, their treasured items had been unwittingly dismissed.
They truly felt like crying.
The two of them exchanged bewildered glances.
Furthermore, they were the sect’s foremost Elders!
Why were they tasked with purchasing everyday items like oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea? Was the Second Headmaster intentionally toying with them?
With their spirits dampened, the two old men retreated to their respective quarters to prepare for their journey.
Leaving aside the rather forlorn shopping expedition of the two Elders, Qiao Mu and her group of companions bid farewell to Duan Yue and MO Lian before setting off enthusiastically towards the Cultivation Hall.
Situated in the northern part of the learning area, the Cultivation Hall lay quite a distance from the Forging Hall and the Concealed Weapon Hall in the southern region.
Strictly speaking, this marked Classmate Qiao’s inaugural attendance in a third of a centimeter class since her enrollment at the academy.
What’s more, she had just requested leave from her mentor the day before.
The young student mused, her chin lightly touched in thought. “How are the other students here?”
Lu Yu wore an expression that defied easy description.
Qiao Mu glanced at him before turning her attention to Little Fatty. “Is something amiss? Did someone give you a hard time?”
“The seniors over at the Cultivation Hall are quite inhospitable,” Little Fatty grumbled.
“When I was studying there, they mixed both old and new students together. While everyone has some basic theoretical knowledge, when it comes to practical combat classes, the new students often get the short end of the stick, and the mentors tend to turn a blind eye.” Qi Xuanxuan spoke with frustration in her voice.
“Yesterday, I even witnessed an older student bullying a girl until she cried. He even coerced her into surrendering half of her contribution points!” Qi Xuanxuan recounted indignantly.
“What are these contribution points for?” Classmate Qiao, who had just attended a single day of classes that felt like an eternity, felt somewhat lost hearing all of this.
“Heh, you’re still in the dark, aren’t you?” Qi Xuanxuan continued to explain.
“These contribution points are primarily used to purchase various items. There’s a Contribution Street in the academy’s residential area on the eastern side, where it’s rumored that they have excellent merchandise. The best part is that contribution points don’t require Spirit Stones or spiritual currency, making them highly valuable.”
Qiao Mu responded with a nonchalant “oh” and a nod.
“Why aren’t you curious about how these contribution points are earned?”
Qiao Mu blinked and replied earnestly, “Why should I be curious about such a thing? I’m not lacking in goods.”
Her statement left everyone momentarily speechless.
“I have a feeling I can’t carry on a conversation with her,” Qi Xuanxuan muttered in a daze as she turned to look at Lu Yu and the others.
The latter shrugged and quipped with a smile, “Seems like you’re not the only one sharing that sentiment.”
“Heh, let me fill you in, Qiaoqiao. Once we’re enrolled in the academy, every new student receives a generous allocation of 10,000 contribution points..”
