Chapter 165: Resources Distributed by the Academy, Instantly Becoming a Rich Woman
After sending off the teacher, I stayed in the lounge for a while.
After all, I had accepted too many new things at once, and I needed to take a breath. This is reality, not a novel. The things described in novels and those settings can be forgotten since the story will continue to develop, and the plot will keep pushing forward.
But reality is different; those things will accompany me for my entire life. I don’t know why Teacher Ji suddenly told me this, but since she did, I will remember it.
Of course, if I’m deliberately alone in the lounge, it’s also to see what resources Teacher Ji has fought for me. After all, I know that wealth shouldn’t be flaunted.
I shook the fluffy item in my hand, communicating with the internal space.
Just from the first sensation, I was shocked by the internal size of this item!
If the space of the leg ring might be less than one cubic meter, then this storage equipment was directly larger than I could dare to imagine.
This must be at least a hundred cubic meters, if not more. Unfortunately, my eyesight couldn’t distinguish exactly how big it was, but it was definitely much larger than my bedroom.
But the point is never about how big the storage equipment is; it’s about the resources inside.
What first caught my eye was the golden mountain of glimmering coins, those round minted coins piled up covering a large area.
Not only gold—but also silver.
“Gold coins and silver coins?” I frowned. Isn’t this money?
Do I need this?
I took out a gold coin; it’s about a size larger than the coins I remember and is very heavy, quite consistent with my understanding of gold’s density.
But I felt something strange about this metal. I’ve seen gold before, but from the perspective of Spirit Vision, this didn’t match my conception of gold.
It’s not just various subtle differences; it’s also the internal information of this material.
Moreover… there’s an unknown wave of extraordinary energy within this gold.
Is this really gold?
At this moment, a look of confusion appeared on my face. Since these are the resources that Teacher Ji fought for me, they can’t just be plain gold, right?
Could it be… extraordinary materials?
With this thought, I quickly opened the academy’s network to start searching.
In the end, I found something that might correspond to it.
Aoqin, a widely circulated extraordinary material, often serves as a circulating currency due to its intrinsic value and is a highly valued circulating currency with significant collectible value.
Similarly, two other extraordinary materials treated like Aoqin are “Secret Silver” and “Red Copper.”
Moreover, these three extraordinary materials can also be exchanged at a certain ratio, but generally, this exchange ratio can vary significantly as well.
The difference between these three circulating currencies is mostly manifested in their consumption thresholds.
For example, a very precious alchemical item cannot be purchased with just any currency; the threshold is at least trading with Red Copper coins or Red Copper.
In other words, these three circulating currencies measure value, and when the value of an item exceeds the purchasing range of that currency, then no amount of that currency can buy it.
If I must make a comparison, it’s similar to the difference between low-grade spirit stones and high-grade spirit stones in the cultivation novels from my previous life.
Even if there is an exchange ratio between these currencies, it is just a reference ratio; no one is going to foolishly use high-end currency to exchange for large amounts of low-end currency—that would be equivalent to devaluing their own assets.
And now… since I possess so much… Aoqin? Plus Secret Silver?
Can I say I’ve instantly become a rich woman now?
This unreal feeling made me a bit dazed; perhaps it’s because I’ve never become wealthy before, so I can’t be sure.
So this… is what it feels like to become wealthy?
It seems… not so bad.
It’s just money, no, it’s not the so-called money; it’s extraordinary materials that hold value!
The late-arriving feeling of wealth was constantly stimulating my senses, but soon I was attracted by something even more exciting.
Money is worthless in the face of extraordinary power!
The resources Teacher Ji fought for me certainly aren’t just coins; they are Magic Sources and Spellbooks!
Those well-packaged Magic Sources and neatly arranged Spellbooks are the most important things.
I quickly counted the number of Magic Sources, exactly 500. That number is quite excessive.
In my heart, even an unhelpful thought of whether I deserve this emerged.
After all, the quantity I currently possess is just a bit over half of that.
But unfortunately, without the teacher or senior students helping me, I couldn’t absorb them into my body on my own.
However, it’s different with Spellbooks.
The Spellbooks ranged from one magic point consumption to one thousand magic point consumption, but the one with a thousand magic point consumption was the only one; I would be satisfied with just that one, after all, Tan Han only has one too, right?
Even if I have this Spellbook, I still can’t use it.
Besides, with these five hundred Magic Sources, I’m still below a thousand.
But when I counted the Spellbooks one by one, the total wasn’t that many, yet I kept collecting them into my body without any complaints.
The feeling of being filled with Spellbooks was truly amazing!
Looking at so many spells, for a moment I was at a loss, perhaps this is what too many troubles feel like?
I looked at my personal information of Earth Vein on my phone. Just from the names alone, I could imagine the effects and classifications of these spells. I must say the quantity is indeed large, but it’s really disorderly.
To put it simply, it lacks a systematic structure.
If I previously understood that having more Spellbooks is better for dealing with various situations, now I also understand that this chaotic level of spells is a significant hassle.
The simplest and most direct reason is that I currently don’t have enough energy to deal with so many spells.
In other words, I need a lot of time to slowly digest what I have gained. The only pity is that none of these spells enhance learning abilities or aid memory.
Otherwise, if there were such spells, it would be twice the result with half the effort!
After all, studying, comprehending, and researching is the most energy-consuming thing, and it can’t be rushed.
I’m not in a hurry, because I’m exempt from courses, and I already have plenty of time to take it slow.
But before that, I’d better study Rune knowledge; after all, sharpening the kn*fe does not delay cutting wood.
However, after putting these things down, I found something else that looked like transparent crystals, dreamy, not a small quantity, and felt very light in my hand. Inside, I sensed a familiar wave of energy… it’s Earth Vein Energy.
But there’s not much Earth Vein energy; more of what’s inside is something that exists using Earth Vein energy.
Could this be… a product of Earth Vein accumulation? Isn’t this reward from the new students’ competition? Was it really okay to give it to me in advance?
But since it’s given to me, I’ll naturally accept it, just unsure how to use it. I wonder if what’s contained within is the memories of the earth?
After all, it can be allocated as resources, so it definitely isn’t something rare; I’ll ask Sister Bai or Teacher Ji when I meet them and then use it.
After organizing everything, I took a deep breath, adjusted my state, and reminded myself, wealth shouldn’t be flaunted, wealth shouldn’t be flaunted! Maintain a calm mind.
In my previous life, I saw a lot of useless little knowledge; what would happen if someone became rich overnight?
Naturally, it’s to put down all worries, keep a calm mind, not tell anyone, and live step by step. After all, my mindset has changed. Everything I do now is simply out of my own will, and I can refuse all unreasonable things, unafraid of threats…
This is what it feels like to have a fallback!
I silently returned to my seat, flipping through the book “Analysis of 300 Common Runes” while paying attention to the competition on the field.
Don’t say anything about being distracted by both reading the book and watching the match; that’s a joke. Even without a match, there’s not much I could read from books.
Such rote memorization is really tedious, needing multiple readings and understanding; forced memory has little benefit and is rigid, lacking structure, incapable of triggering associative thinking or building connections.
I kind of understood the Spellbooks. If I must memorize them, even if I grasp the real editing techniques in the future, I would merely be replicating the Spellbooks I have seen, only with my own ideas can I break through the unchanging things.
“Xiao Han~ I came to see you, it wasn’t easy to spot you in the spectator seats.”
A sudden voice interrupted my thoughts. As I looked up, I saw a somewhat familiar face—it seemed to be Annie from Class 66 whom I had met recently?
“I’m usually in the spectator seats, so it shouldn’t be that hard to find me, right? Why did you come over?”
“Hehe~ Just came to check on you, we’ve somewhat met before, and I didn’t expect you to be the biggest dark horse in this session!”
When Annie said this, her tone carried undeniable admiration, “So, you don’t look down on me, right?”
“Why would I think that? That’s obviously impossible.” I waved my hand and smiled. “But did you come over just to ask if my friend would look down on you?”
“Absolutely not~ The morning match is over for us, I plan to celebrate and invite my friends to join in!”
“Halfway through opening champagne? Is that worth celebrating?” I asked in confusion.
“What halfway through opening champagne? I’m celebrating the victory of this match! If I don’t celebrate now and lose in the next match, I wouldn’t have the mood to celebrate anymore!” Annie answered as if it were a matter of course.
“That does make sense… but you should at least have a bit of confidence in yourself. You won in the morning, so why can’t you win in the afternoon?”
“My opponent made a mistake with their operation, casting failure and mental backfire; my win was a fluke! I’m still very weak, okay?”
“Ah? You had such good luck?” I raised my eyebrows, quite surprised. How was there still someone who could misfire spells and cause their own mental backfire at this point?
Wouldn’t they be laughed at online for days?
“Of course~ I usually have great luck!” At this point, Annie spoke quite confidently. “By the way, do you want to have lunch with me at noon?”
“Having lunch with you? Speaking of which, since it’s your celebration, shouldn’t you be bringing others? Wouldn’t my joining be inappropriate?” I tactfully declined while also trying to get a sense of her thoughts.
“Others? That’s a good question; it appears I don’t have any. Xiao Han, you’re the first I’m inviting!”
“Eh?” I looked at Annie in surprise. I’m actually the first?
Did I have only a few encounters with Annie? Is that enough for her to invite me first?
And I remember the first time I met her, she seemed like a timid girl. How did she become so lively? Is she the type who is timid in front of strangers but lively around familiar people?
“Eh, what are you surprised about? If you don’t come, I really wouldn’t know who to invite.” Annie looked down as if feeling wronged.
“No, wait, you must be the class leader of Class 66, right? As the class leader, don’t you have friends in the class?”
“Friends? No, the others in the class would love to k*ll me; I have no friends, and I don’t want to play with them.” Annie pouted and muttered.
“Ah?”
Hearing Annie’s explanation, I fell directly into a knowledge blind spot. How did such an Annie become the class leader of Class 66?
And I asked her this.
“Wait, Annie, how did you get chosen as the class leader of Class 66?”
“Me? How would I know? I didn’t even want to be class leader; everyone’s a new student, and in the extraordinary field, everyone is a rookie, so we just ended up arguing and decided by drawing lots in the end, and I was the lucky one who got picked!”
When Annie was asked this question, she seemed to get a bit agitated. But when talking about the latter part, her tone carried a sense of helplessness.
“No one expected it to turn out this way; after I was elected class leader, many people were unhappy. Some even asked me to step down. But I heard from my counselor that being a class leader comes with extra resource advantages, so I reluctantly agreed. Now I have strength, and those guys in class don’t dare mess with me, but they still see me unfavorably. So, we’re stuck in a cold war, who can’t do that?”
“Haha, your class is so unique…” I awkwardly chuckled a few times, unsure how to comfort her.
Just thinking about Annie’s daily life must be quite tough, right?
“Right, so Xiao Han, please have lunch with me at noon~” At this moment, Annie displayed a pitiful expression like a little kitten begging me.
“Okay, okay.” With several weak requests, I finally agreed.
After all, I didn’t have any plans for lunch, so I didn’t mind accompanying my friend.
“Really! That’s great!” Annie suddenly excitedly scooted closer to me, sitting on the arm of my chair, pressing against me.
“Eh? What are you doing?” I was startled by Annie’s actions; after all, I still instinctively resisted such close contact with a girl.
“Um, Xiao Han~ Do you mind if I take a picture to record our lives? After all, you’re a famous person now~” While saying this, Annie picked up her phone for final confirmation.
“Fine, fine—whatever.” I shrugged and responded nonchalantly, agreeing.
Looking at the composition in the phone, Annie took the shot rather casually, but that smile of hers was genuinely joyful.
“Great~ Hehe~ Xiao Han, I’ll borrow your fame this time. If I’m friends with you, they surely won’t dare target me so brazenly, right?”
“Hmm…”
I don’t know why, but hearing Annie say that, I felt a bit of pain for her. This must be the worst possible start, right? Being targeted by the entire class—her future life is probably going to be quite challenging.
But what she gains in return is the privileges and treatment of being class leader, along with resource advantages. It’s hard to say whether she’s lucky or unlucky.
