“Mr. Willard, aren’t you going to ask me why I refused to join your club?”
“Can’t be bothered to ask, Jack, I’m sure you have your reasons.”contemporary romance
After lunch, everyone dispersed after Jack declined their invitation.
Jack was going to exchange cultivation resources at the Logistics Department, and Justin Welan volunteered to show him the way. On the way, Jack was surprised that Justin didn’t ask him why he refused to join.
“By the way, Jack, you completed Foundation Establishment within half a month. According to the rules, you can earn 3 Contribution Points every month, so don’t waste them.”
“If someone comes to collect Contribution Points from you, just give them a punch and tell them to scram.”
“So there are people who buy Contribution Points.”
“Of course, everyone’s in short supply.”
Justin explained, “Under normal conditions, the school’s Contribution Points exchange rate is one to one thousand. In the Black Market, it’s one to three thousand, but both are hard to come by.”
“Especially for us newcomers, Contribution Points are even more important. We can exchange them for resources that are not available in the market at the Logistics Department.”
“And for every freshman’s first purchase of cultivation resources, the school offers a discount.”
“For example, the Tyrant Elephant Essence Blood you’re going to exchange for next. One portion costs fifty thousand yuan in the market, and ordinary people can’t buy it. But with Contribution Points, you only need 20.”
“And weapons, like ordinary Level 1 alloy swords, sell for 30,000 to 50,000 pieces. But in the school, you only need ten Contribution Points.”
“Besides, if you want to practice other Cultivation Methods, you also need Contribution Points. So everyone is short of them, and some people go and buy them from the freshmen.”
“Some new students who’ve just completed Foundation Establishment can’t resist the temptation of selling their points at 3,000 or even 5,000 for one Contribution Point.”
“This happens every year, and those who sell their Contribution Points soon regret it.”
“Why doesn’t the school remind these freshmen?” Jack couldn’t help but wonder.
Justin shrugged, “The school isn’t your nanny. They have already prepared basic resources for you. If you can’t resist temptation, who’s to blame?”
“That’s true,” Jack nodded.
In this world, ordinary people are still the majority. One Contribution Point for a few thousand yuan is indeed a huge temptation for many ordinary high school students.
“Moreover, the discount offered to freshmen can only be applied to their corresponding cultivation resources. There are many restrictions on Contribution Points trading and exchange rights, so there are no loopholes for people to exploit.”
As the two talked, they arrived at the D Building where the Logistics Department was located.
As soon as they entered the lobby, they noticed a few older students looking at them. Among them, a blonde student seemed particularly enthusiastic.
“Junior, do you want to sell Contribution Points? I’ll buy one point for 5,000 yuan.”
Without waiting for Jack to speak, Justin snapped back, “Scram! Get as far away as you can, you scum who sucks freshmen’s blood.”
The blonde male student narrowed his eyes, exuding a faintly dangerous aura, and said in a deep voice, “Junior, I was just asking if you wanted to trade normally. There’s no need to be so rude, right?”
“I advise you to be more polite. I’m not a freshman.”
“What, you want to bite me?”
Justin wasn’t afraid of him at all. He puffed up his chest and said disdainfully, “Come on, hit me if you dare. Don’t think I’m scared of you just because you started cultivating a year before me. Hit me, if you have the guts!”
“Come on, hit me!”
Looking at Justin’s arrogant face, the sophomore student’s face turned ugly, but for some reason, he didn’t dare to make a move.
“In the school, I may not be able to do anything to you, but don’t be too arrogant.” With that, the blonde student left in a cold huff.
“Tch! Threatening me? You think I’m scared?”Justin scoffed, “Don’t think that cultivating for an extra year makes you anything special. My brother is a high-level cultivator, try to bully me outside of school and see what happens.”
Upon hearing the words ‘high-level cultivator’, the blond male student’s face changed drastically, and he left the scene much faster than before.
Watching the senior students leave, Jack looked at Justin with a newfound appreciation and clicked his tongue, “Well, well, Mr. Willard, I didn’t expect you to have such a domineering side.”
“Hey! Jack, you’re using the wrong words. I’m scolding them for justice, how can it be called domineering?”
“But you don’t really need to care about these senior students. They don’t dare to make a move in school, they can only intimidate the freshman with their status.”
“As for outside the school, they won’t retaliate over such trivial matters. Otherwise, if they were reported, they wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences.”
As they spoke, the two came to a window counter.
“Teacher, I want to exchange for a bottle of Tyrant Elephant Essence Blood.”
“Enter your Student ID.”
“Identity Verification Passed …”
“Tyrant Elephant Essence Blood requires 20 Contribution Points, but since you’re a freshman, your first exchange of cultivation resources and weapons will be discounted by 90%. Do you want to proceed?”
“Yes.”
Without any glitches, the teacher deducted 2 Contribution Points from Jack and turned to operate a cabinet behind him.
Subsequently, the edge of the wall moved, and a small lift-like compartment descended, revealing a palm-sized black bottle when it opened.
After accompanying Jack to exchange for the Tyrant Elephant Essence Blood, Justin left with a chuckle, as he still had cultivation to do in the afternoon.
Meanwhile, Jack returned to the third floor alone and applied for a Private Cultivation Room.
In the 20-square-meter cultivation room, Jack took off his shirt, opened the bottle of Tyrant Elephant Essence Blood, and was met with a strong, pungent smell of blood.
Jack carefully poured out a drop of the thick, frozen-like Essence Blood, feeling an intense heat from his hand.
Following the instructions, Jack began to apply the Essence Blood to his body – the front, back, arms, and legs. Soon, his entire body was covered in bright red blood.
At this moment, Jack closed his eyes slightly, and the beginning of the Dragon Elephant Power appeared in his mind.
“Human strength is limited, and the human body alone cannot rival those gigantic creatures. Therefore, I created this cultivation method to strengthen oneself by borrowing external force.”
“To cultivate this technique, one must apply the blood essence of mutated elephant-type beasts to their body, with Tyrant Elephant Essence Blood being the most effective for beginners. After applying the Essence Blood to the entire body…”
Recalling the cultivation steps, Jack’s Qi Blood began to circulate according to the Dragon Elephant Power route, his Spirit Power spread out, attracting the surrounding Heavenly Energy.
Boom!
As the Extraordinary Energy entered his body, Jack’s Qi Blood was ignited again, and the Tyrant Elephant Essence Blood applied to his body surface was affected as well.
The Essence Blood became scorching hot as strands of hot steam mixed with Extraordinary Energy poured into Jack’s body, being refined by his circulating Qi Blood.
Indistinctly, Jack faintly heard the overbearing roar of a massive elephant, causing his consciousness to tremble slightly.
With his mind focused and undistracted, Jack didn’t pay any attention to the mental influence and concentrated on refining the Extraordinary Energy and the Essence Blood’s power. One cycle, two cycles…
Huff! Huff!
With the absorption of the Tyrant Elephant Essence Blood and the functioning of the Cultivation Method, Jack’s physique began to undergo a special transformation: his muscles and skin became stronger and more resilient.
Even his internal organs were affected – his breathing became heavy like the low growl of an elephant, and a faint, oppressive aura began to emanate from his body.
It was as if the person standing there wasn’t a youth, but a massive, awe-inspiring elephant.
