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 came one after another.
Not only here, but also at several tables nearby, it seemed that an old student was with several new students.
"Come here!"
Zhou Hui waved at Su Yu, and when Su Yu came over, Zhou Hui smiled and said, "Go get your own food, you don't even know how to eat, right?"
Su Yu smiled, said nothing, and went to the side to get food.
This restaurant is similar to a buffet.
After getting back from the meal, Zhou Hui had almost finished eating, and other students also came down one after another. Zhou Hui motioned them to eat, and watched them eat from the side, saying while eating: "In previous years, some genius students came to the academy and knew nothing!"
"I thought the academy was his home, and he ordered the seniors around, and some even asked the seniors to help serve the food..."
Zhou Hui smiled and said: "Fortunately, you are not so stupid, otherwise... I would have made a fortune!"
Everyone looked at her blankly, what did she mean?
"Stupid, don't you want to be paid for your work?"
Zhou Hui whispered: "Everyone, look, I'm not the kind of senior who cheats people. Look around, if any senior serves food to the freshmen later... hehe, the freshmen will be in trouble!"
"According to the rules of the school, there must be rewards for your efforts! If they help you work, you have to pay them, starting with 1 merit point. The ruthless ones want you to get 3 or 5 merit points. You have no choice but to pay them. Who made you helpless!"
Zhou Hui laughed 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!"
Su Yu and others changed their expressions.
So ruthless?
Fortunately, they didn't feel comfortable asking Zhou Hui to help them. A short girl next to Su Yu said with some fear: "Senior, you wanted to help me with my luggage just now. You didn't charge me for it?"
"Of course!"
Zhou Hui said as a matter of course: "I saw that they could carry it. You were wobbling with your luggage. Should I help you? Don't worry, I'm not mean. I'll help you get it to your room for 1 merit point!"
"..."
The short girl looked relieved. She carried it up by herself. She was embarrassed to bother the senior at that time. Now it seems that she saved a little merit.
For the students, 1 merit point is not a small amount.
Even if they are from a wealthy family, they don't spend merit points like this.
This is equivalent to tens of thousands of dollars for carrying luggage!
Who can stand this!
Su Yu didn't care about this, and whispered: "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, this is something that many people can't get, only the students in our character training class have the opportunity to get it, it's easy and safe, and the time is short, 1 merit point, it's not so easy to earn it normally."
Speaking, Zhou Hui looked at a few people and smiled: "Are there any top students among you?"
The short girl just now raised her hand cautiously and said: "I am."
Zhou Hui's eyes lit up, "You are a top-class student? Then there will be 100 merit points reward for admission?"
The short girl was a little scared when she saw her eyes shining, but she still nodded and said, "Yes, I heard there is a 100-point reward..."
"Junior sister!"
Zhou Hui said with bright eyes, "Have you considered lending? 100 points, lend it out for 3 months, and return you 110 points! Anyway, you can't use it once you enter school, it's a waste to keep it on you! You can lend it to me, a senior sister, 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 others were stunned!
The people in the city are too good at playing!
Even the students in other cities were dazed at this time. The civilized school really knows how to play!
The short girl was almost scared to tears, and hurriedly said: "No, I still need to exchange some original skills for use."
"Oh!"
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 other people at the table and smiled: "You can consider it too! 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, and there must be interest. I don't know how many merit points the school lacks. I will pay you back soon..."
Su Yu I couldn't help but ask: "Sister, is it so hard to earn merit points here at the academy?"
"Of course!"
Zhou Hui said helplessly: "We are not warriors, and our physical strength is not strong, so we can't take some tasks. There are also many old people who haven't graduated from the academy. Some translation work and assistance work are not our turn at all, and they are snatched up in a flash!"
Zhou Hui sighed: "I have been in the academy for six years and have entered the stage of nurturing my nature, but even at this stage, there are not many good tasks to take, otherwise why would I come to pick up you freshmen, now you need merit points to read the will text, you need merit points to attend classes, you need merit points to eat and sleep..."
Zhou Hui said with a dejected look: "I can't even live anymore."
Hearing her miserable words, everyone felt sympathetic.
It's too miserable!
Su Yu was also a little worried and said, "Then there is no way to earn merit points?"
"Yes!"
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 monsters, and assisting the divine script master in work, and you can get merit points."
"Those who are strong and confident can challenge the top 100 list of the academy. If you are on 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 sister, is it the ranking list of the cultivation stage?"
"I guess so."
Zhou Hui smiled and said: "Only those who cultivate their nature can be on the list, and only the strong ones can be on the list! Those over 30 years old are not allowed to enter the list, and graduates of Tengkong are not allowed to enter the list, just to reward other students."
The short girl said again: "Senior sister, I heard my aunt say this, but I plan to become a pill master, so my strength is definitely not strong, so how can I be on the list?"
"This is easy!"
Zhou Hui smiled and said: The top 100 list is mainly for practical people. 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 saying that, Zhou Hui looked at the freshmen at the table with envy and said with a smile: "Don't even think about it! Don't think about how many people there are in the civilized school. There are only so many people graduating every year. Under the age of 30, at least thousands of people stay and can't graduate every year, and others leave the school... Counting it up, after more than ten years of accumulation, there are tens of thousands of students!"
There are more than 10,000 students under the age of 30 alone.
Among them, many people can't stand it and have left the school, otherwise the number would be even greater.
Zhou Hui smiled and said, "There is not just one class for cultivating character. All major departments have them. In total, there are about 5,000 students under the age of 30 who are cultivating character in the school, and 100 of them are on the list... You freshmen, forget it!"
"So many cultivating character?"
A boy at the table was surprised and said, "Isn't this too much?"
"Is this still considered a lot?"
Zhou Hui said disapprovingly, "There are so many cultivating character, and these are not even students over 30 years old! When willpower reaches 50% full, it is cultivating character. Freshmen only need one or two years to do so. However, in the stage of cultivating character, it takes a long time. The school still has a large number of students in their 70s and 80s who are cultivating character!"
Zhou Hui shook her head and sighed, "It's too difficult to vacate. The school had 62 graduates last year, 16 of whom were under 30 years old, and the rest were over 30 years old! That's still good. Most of them have no hope of vacating character in their lifetime."
Everyone fell silent instantly.
Zhou Hui quickly smiled and said, "Don't worry, if it doesn't work out, you can just change your profession. For me, if I still can't vacate by the age of 30, I will leave the academy and find my own way!"
"We have strong willpower. We can quickly become a warrior and reach the level of Qianjun and Wanshi. When we reach Wanshi, we can find a good job anywhere."
One student couldn't help but ask, "Senior, how old are you?"
Zhou Hui said with a dangerous look in her eyes, "It's dangerous to ask this question, you know?"
After that, she 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 seniors who have stayed in the academy for decades... you will be in trouble!"
The students all laughed, and the atmosphere eased a lot.
Everyone was very nervous before, but Zhou Hui seemed to be very talkative and didn't have the coldness of other seniors, so they could chat.
Su Yu and the others also saw that the surrounding tables were frighteningly quiet.
Some seniors ate by themselves and ignored the freshmen at all.
Obviously, this is just a task. They are only responsible for leading the way. They don't need to worry about other things. They can talk if they want to. If they don't want to talk, they just ignore these newcomers.
Su Yu is most concerned about the merit points. At this moment, he asked again: "Senior sister, I heard that we also need merit points for class. Is it expensive?"
"Of course!"
Zhou Hui said, "Not all of them are required. Some basic subjects don't need merit points, but once it comes to professional knowledge, especially the writing of will articles, the merit points are scary!"
Zhou Hui said with pain: "For example, the assistant course, writing the will article on the spot, a class at least 5 merit points! Junior researchers, that's 10 points! Intermediate and advanced ones, you can't afford it at all. In fact, they rarely teach freshmen. Those who cultivate their character depend on whether they are geniuses, otherwise they won't waste time teaching us."
"You go to the library and the book collection pavilion, and you need merit points."
Su Yu was surprised and asked, "Are libraries and book collection pavilions different?"
"Of course they are different. The library is full of ordinary books, while the book collection pavilion is the essence. They are all the original books of the Ten Thousand Races, or the will texts written by some human race masters. Some of them may have expired, but they are much more precious than ordinary books."
Zhou Hui sighed, "Library, book collection pavilion, classes, cultivation, elixirs, weapons, talismans... all of these require merit points, not to mention the secret realms. The school has several open secret realms, and the merit points for entering them are scary. I have been here for six years and have only been there once..."
Zhou Hui gritted her teeth and said, "Just for this, I spent several years of savings to go back to before school, otherwise I would not bother to pick up you freshmen."
Everyone felt sympathetic, it was so miserable.
It seems that without merit points, it is simply impossible to survive here, it is so terrible.
A 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, his 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. She would borrow from anyone who had it.
Zhou Hui saw that the person didn't speak, and sighed: "Forget it, stingy guy! But 30 points of merit... are useless! After a few months, you will find that these merit points... are too few!"
Zhou Hui shook her head and said: "And it's not yours. If the merit level is not up, you can't exchange some things at all. It's useless to have merit points. Just say the qualifications for the secret realm. Even if you have merit points, you may not be able to enter."
"Even if it is open, the most common one, you need to accumulate more than 30 points of merit to enter."
Zhou Hui shook her head and said: "For those high-level secret realms, the accumulated merits may even exceed hundreds of points. Think about it, if you don't go to the sky, where can you accumulate hundreds of merits!"
Su Yu hurriedly calculated how much merit he had accumulated.
Wanzuyu, he only got 18 points of accumulated merit.
Last time he did a task, he got 10 points of accumulated merit.
The first place in the assessment, a total of 40 points, but 20 of them are extra rewards, not accumulated merit.
This is 48 points of accumulated merit. There are rewards this time, more than 40 points, then close to 90 points of accumulated merit.
Su Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he has accumulated more.
Even if he has accumulated 100 points of merit, he is almost up to the mark.
The school does this, in fact, to give ordinary family students a chance. Everyone needs to accumulate merit, and the opportunity to enter the secret realm is actually the same. Even if the big family does not lack merit points, he cannot enter if he does not accumulate enough.
After accumulating enough, students from ordinary families can almost earn merit to enter the secret realm.
"This rule is actually to restrict those members of big families..."
Su Yu understood a little bit. In the school, it is actually mainly about oneself. Family background is useful, but it may not be as big as imagined, which weakens the influence of big families.
Zhou Huike didn't care what Su Yu thought, and continued: "It's too early to tell you this now, you will know it yourself in a while! When you first enter the school, your main task is to master the basic knowledge, choose subjects, and select teachers... Of course, this is the treatment of geniuses."
Zhou Huike shrugged and said: "If you are not a genius, then you should just take the big class honestly. If you want to take the small class, you must have meritorious points."
After that, she 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 was a little timid. She 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, she looked at the people around her and smiled, "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'll introduce you to the one that suits you best. If both parties like each other, I'll get some benefits."
On Su Yu's right, a boy raised his hand and said, "Senior sister, I'm taking the middle-level assessment. Can you find a teacher who suits me to guide me?"
"There's hope!"
Zhou Hui nodded and said, "We'll talk about it later. There aren't many new students this year, but they said they're reducing the number of places by 500. In fact, they're just cramming in a mess, plus a bunch of people went to the town for the assessment. The actual enrollment is about the same as in previous years, about 2,000 people."
"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..."
Speaking of this, Zhou Hui said, "This year, the university has regulations, and there are requirements for researchers. There may be hundreds of researchers who want to recruit students. With hundreds of people, the middle class actually have a chance..."
Su Yu waited for her to finish, and then continued, "Senior sister, what about this year? If no one accepts new students, will there be a chance in the future? "
"Yes!"
Zhou Hui smiled and said, "Senior, I will also 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 said we are old and our tempers are smooth, but they don't think about what we can do! No one accepted us when we first enrolled, so we have to slowly grind them down? If we are not old, we can't practice to this level. Really, we can only take it one step at a time!"
After that, she looked at Su Yu and said, "Su Yu, you are from Nanyuan. I heard that Nanyuan seems to have a top-notch person this year..."
After that, Zhou Hui blinked!
What is the top-notch person in Nanyuan called?
As old students, they rarely care about this. Freshmen may care about each other, but who cares about this among old students? No matter how powerful they are, what does it have to do with me?
Other freshmen don't know, but Liu Ke suddenly glanced at Su Yu and was a little curious.
Su Yu?
Is it him?
Top students usually only care about top students. Unless they are very close to them, who cares about those who are worse than themselves.
Liu Ke is a top student, so naturally he cares about other top students this year.
Although there is no complete list, there is only one top student in Nanyuan. She seems to have heard of him. His name is... Su what?
Su Yu?
Zhou Hui's eyes also changed. It seems that other people in Nanyuan have not arrived yet. Not only Nanyuan, but also ordinary students in several cities over there have not arrived.
Su Yu seems to be the only one from Nanyuan!
This... that top student is this kid?
"Is it him?"
Zhou Hui's eyes lit up slightly. Su Yu didn't say anything, and she didn't expose him. However, she was still a little enthusiastic and said with a smile: "Student Su Yu, please write down my contact number later and contact me if you have anything! Like looking for a teacher, reading materials, understanding the list of geniuses in the academy, the list of the top 100, etc.... Contact me at any time. It's cheap, no merit points are required, and cash settlement is also OK!"
"You too!"
After Zhou Hui finished speaking, she suddenly took out some books from her bag and said with a smile: "Since you are in the academy, you should actually buy a general handbook of "Daxia Civilization Academy". It's cheap and affordable!"
Liu Ke became interested and hurriedly asked: "Senior, how much is it?"
"Not expensive, 500 yuan a copy!"
Zhou Hui smiled and said: "This is the latest version, which will be updated at any time. The old version is not valuable. The black-hearted senior of the new version sells you 1 merit point, and you can't help but 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 the page casually and said: "This is the strongest teaching assistant chapter of the academy. Look, Xia Yuwen ranked first, maybe some people know, but who is the second and third?"
"Are you interested?"
"Also, this is the latest student ranking list. Who is the strongest student under 30 years old?"
"This is the junior researcher list of the academy. Who is the most powerful junior researcher?"
"..."
"This is..."
Every time Zhou Hui said it, everyone was moved. The next moment, the students became interested and paid for things!
Su Yu was also moved. He was also very curious about this. He knew less than others. At this moment, even though it was a little painful, he took out 500 Anping coins to buy a copy.
There were more than ten students, each with a copy. Zhou Hui took the money and smiled.
This thing costs 30 yuan a copy, and the profit is more than ten times!
It's a pity that she doesn't have many students.
And she is not mean enough!
As she said, she is kind-hearted. Suddenly, a freshman exclaimed: "3 points of merit for one book, it's too expensive!"
"Do you want it?"
Over there, a male old student said indifferently: "This thing is so expensive. It involves the internal information of the civilized school. Do you think it's that simple? I also took the risk to bring it out!"
At this moment, some old students at several tables around were secretly shocked. Damn, it's too mean!
Some of them only accept cash, and some only accept 1 point of merit. This guy is too mean. He wants 3 points at once. He is really mean!
Of course, no one exposed him.
Although this guy is mean and looks like he can make a lot of money, but... Be careful that the new students will become strong in a few years and come to settle accounts with you. It's not impossible.
How much you earn, don't look at the present, but also look at the future.
Zhou Hui was also envious, but she didn't care too much. If she really met some talented students, they would be stingy and become stronger in a few years. For these few merits, they would embarrass you casually. Haha... wait for bad luck!
She didn't care, and Su Yu and others suddenly looked at her gratefully.
It seemed like they made a lot of money!
Others bought a book with 3 merits, which cost tens of thousands, and they couldn't buy it even for 50,000 or 60,000. They only needed 500 yuan. There was no harm without comparison!
They thought it was expensive before, but now they suddenly felt it was worth it!
Several people carefully hid the book to avoid being known that they bought it cheaply.
Zhou Hui laughed secretly. It was good this way. Among this group of people, there were at least two top students. It would be best if they didn't have any resentment. Maybe they could leave a good impression.
They made money and gained impression points. No matter whether these people would remember it in the future, they left some favors.
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. If they can't vacate, why stay in the school?
"Go back and take your time. I will pick you up tomorrow and send you to the dormitory. By the way, the top students can live in Yangxing Garden. I advise you to live there if you have the opportunity. Otherwise... hehe, those ordinary dormitories will annoy you to death!"
Zhou Hui gritted her teeth and said, "8 people in one room, you are reading, others are practicing martial arts, you are practicing martial arts, others are taking a bath, you are taking a bath, others are reading... you will go crazy!"
Su Yu's face changed slightly. Is it so cheating?
8 people in one room!
You know, this is cultivation, not daily living. The most taboo in cultivation is being disturbed!
At this moment, Su Yu suddenly felt a little depressed. Could it be that I have to live in Yangxing Garden?
50,000!
All my belongings don't have that much!
Zhou Hui was actually observing him secretly. Seeing this, she smiled in her heart. Sure enough, this was probably the top student from Nan Yuan. Not bad, she actually received two top students this time.
Although it was just a new student reception, it might be beneficial to have a good exchange.
Zhou Hui was secretly proud in her heart. It was good to act like a spoiled child with the researcher who assigned the task before. The list assigned to her was good.
