Free Web NovelChapter 373: Chapter 373: Simple and Crude Plan
Hearing Little Fatty’s question, Lin Xinghai knew exactly what he was worried about. freёwebnovel.com
"Don’t worry! Your spot as a Special Class Student is guaranteed. As for the plan... we don’t really need one. On the third day, after the Military Department drops the Energy Balls, I’ll just go and snatch them by force," Lin Xinghai said with a chuckle.
"We’re going to snatch them by force? Isn’t that too dangerous?" Little Fatty muttered worriedly.
After all, dealing with other talented students was a completely different matter from facing these Zombies.
Those people weren’t idiots. More importantly, they had Superpowers.
There were only four of them. If they went to snatch the balls directly, it would be easy for things to go wrong, even with Lin Xinghai there.
"It’s not *we* who are going to snatch them. I’ll go alone. You guys just need to hide and stay safe."
"There are 100 Energy Balls in total. As long as I can get more than 40, no matter how the others fight over the rest, all four of us are guaranteed a spot in the top 10," Lin Xinghai said with a light laugh.
"Boss, you’re going to fight for the Energy Balls all by yourself?" Little Fatty was dumbfounded. Beside him, Jin Tong was too shocked to speak. Only Liu Miaomiao had a thoughtful expression on her face.
"Wouldn’t it be easier if I go alone? With my Speed, they definitely won’t be able to catch me. As for how I’ll deal with them..." Lin Xinghai patted the Tearing Rifle hanging at his waist.
At this, Little Fatty’s expression turned to one of sudden realization. For the past three hours, Lin Xinghai had been leading them in close-quarters combat against Zombies, using his Firearms only once. He had almost forgotten about the man’s god-like Gun Technique.
As Little Fatty thought for a moment about the plan Lin Xinghai had proposed, an expression of irrepressible excitement spread across his face.
This was because the probability of Lin Xinghai’s success was very high. After all, with his Gun Technique, no one else could even compare.
As for Superpowers, many of them had a limited range. Anyway, as far as Little Fatty knew, he wasn’t aware of any Superpower with a longer attack range than Firearms.
In other words, as long as Lin Xinghai attacked with Firearms from a distance, even if he couldn’t win, he could easily escape with his Speed, putting him in an invincible position.
"Boss, if you’re really confident you can snatch that many Energy Balls, remember to suppress the others along the way. Don’t let them threaten your number one spot on the Points leaderboard," Little Fatty reminded him.
Lin Xinghai raised an eyebrow slightly and asked thoughtfully, "Does first place on the Points leaderboard come with other benefits besides a spot as a Special Class Student?"
"Yes. The top three students on the Points leaderboard will also get special, private instruction from Divine Demon Realm powerhouses during their regular studies. If they perform exceptionally well, it’s not impossible for one to be taken on as a Direct Disciple."
"You have to understand, this kind of master-disciple relationship is different from a normal teacher-student one. It can completely..."
"Alright, stop with the intangible stuff. Aren’t there any practical benefits?" Lin Xinghai cut off Little Fatty’s rambling.
’With my system, I don’t need any teacher’s guidance at all. All I need are resources.’
Little Fatty was momentarily choked up by Lin Xinghai’s words, but he wasn’t stupid. He quickly understood what Lin Xinghai was really after.
He pondered for a moment before saying, "From what I understand, based on the rules from previous years, first place generally gets a reward of 10,000 Credit Points. Second place gets 8,000, third gets 6,000, fourth and fifth get 5,000, and sixth through tenth get 3,000. There are no Credit Points rewards after that."
Lin Xinghai raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "So what’s the purchasing power of those 10,000 Credit Points? Compare it to Huaxia Coins for me."
"You can’t really compare them! If you use these Credit Points to buy Cultivation Resources, the exchange rate is 1:1 at best. But if you use them to buy things you can’t get outside, then these Credit Points are practically priceless. Take Earth Level Martial Arts, for example. You can’t find any way to buy them on the outside, but here at the academy, the cheapest Earth Level Martial Arts manual costs 10,000 Credit Points."
Lin Xinghai’s heart stirred, and he suddenly asked, "Does the academy have any Celestial Level Martial Arts?"
"Probably not... Of course, I wouldn’t know about any secret information like that," Little Fatty said with a shrug.
Although he had already suspected as much, Lin Xinghai was still a little disappointed by the answer. "Are there any Gun Technique-type Martial Arts among the Earth Level ones? If so, how many Credit Points do they cost?"
"Guns are a common type of weapon, so there should be! Of course, I don’t know the exact cost in Credit Points. But I remember that Sword Skill-type Martial Arts are around 50,000 Credit Points, so Gun Technique Martial Arts should be in the same ballpark."
"But there’s another benefit to getting first place in the assessment. You get a 50% discount on all purchases at the academy. Second place gets a 40% discount, third gets 30%, fourth and fifth get 20%, and sixth through tenth get a 10% discount."
"In other words, if a Gun Technique Martial Arts manual costs 50,000 Credit Points, you would only need to pay 25,000. With your strength, Boss, you could probably save up enough Credit Points to buy an Earth Level Technique in just one semester," Little Fatty said with a sigh of admiration.
If that happened, Lin Xinghai would probably break another freshman record.
Hearing that there really were Earth Level Gun Technique Martial Arts, Lin Xinghai’s eyes lit up. What made him even happier was that first place came with a 50% discount on purchases.
This instantly made him determined to get first place.
"Excellent! But you should have told me this sooner," Lin Xinghai said, shooting a glance at Little Fatty.
"Er..." Little Fatty was at a loss for words. It was because, at the very beginning, he didn’t think Lin Xinghai had the strength to compete for first place.
He only shared this information because Lin Xinghai had now proven he had the strength to compete for first place.
Lin Xinghai didn’t have the time to deal with the stammering Little Fatty. After a brief moment of thought, he said, "One semester is too long for me to wait for an Earth Level Technique."
"How about this: after the assessment is over, you all lend me your Credit Points. Once I learn the Earth Level Technique, my combat power will definitely increase, and I’ll be able to pay you back quickly."
"Lend you our Credit Points? What Credit Points do we have?" Little Fatty blurted out instinctively, but then his eyes suddenly widened.
Just then, Lin Xinghai spoke up. "If we secure all of the top four spots, we’ll have them. The Credit Points for the top four will add up to 29,000."
"Add the discount on top of that, and as long as the Gun Technique doesn’t cost more than 58,000 Credit Points, I’ll be able to buy it. That should be a sure thing."
Lin Xinghai’s expression was calm as he said this, but everyone else who heard him, including Liu Miaomiao, was without exception completely stunned.
’If Lin Xinghai really goes through with this, it’ll be no different from making an enemy of every other candidate!’
