51: Chapter 51 Artificial Intelligence, Xiaoyou

He stepped out, his figure like a bolt of lightning as the tip of his spear swayed back and forth, tracing elegant arcs.

'Bang, bang, bang!'

Su Mu's spear continuously struck Liu Xiaofa's body, making loud thumping sounds.

In less than a minute, Liu Xiaofa was beaten until he was covered in injuries and his face was black and blue.

"Was your combat earlier just an act? Did you play dumb on purpose before? You're not a freshman either, are you?"

Liu Xiaofa had completely figured it out; this definitely wasn't a freshman. This was an upperclassman who, like himself, was scamming people for credits.

Already sprawled on the ground, Liu Xiaofa looked at Su Mu with eyes full of resentment.

Su Mu didn't answer and simply left.

"Having too many credits is also quite a headache!"

"What's wrong? Junior Brother, if you can't spend your tuition, how about lending some to your Senior Sister?"

A crisp, pleasant voice rang out from behind Su Mu.

Su Mu turned around. "Senior Sister! Why are you here?"

At this moment, Mu Feng was wearing a set of fiery red battle armor, holding a red battle spear in her hand, and her long wavy hair that previously draped over her shoulders was tied up.

"To come to the Bailian Tower is obviously for training!"

Mu Feng said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Hmm? Isn't the Bailian Tower for dueling?"

After what just happened, Su Mu felt that the Bailian Tower was like a casino where people placed bets and then fought.

"Of course not! Dueling is just the most insignificant section of the Bailian Tower. Its most important function is training.

The Bailian Tower has the most advanced ability training equipment, as well as the most precise ability detection devices."

As she spoke, Mu Feng pointed toward a large screen on the other side, which was scrolling through a ranking list.

At the top of the list, it clearly read 'Source Power Intensity Rankings'.

Below it, names and numbers scrolled densely, with a string of eye-catching red numbers jumping out occasionally.

"Look at the red numbers there. Those represent people whose current Source Power intensity has exceeded the normal range for their current level.

In other words, the people corresponding to those red numbers are very likely about to break through to the next level."

Mu Feng tapped the air with her fingertip, bringing up several more translucent light screens showing many other rankings.

"There are also rankings for each grade. People who want to climb the ranks must submit an application here, and then all combat information will be released on the 30th of every month. credits will be distributed on the 1st of the following month based on the grade rankings."

Mu Feng pulled up the freshman rankings and enlarged it.

[1st Place]: Su Mu

[2nd Place]: song own

[3rd Place]: Guan Yue

...

[100th Place]: Wang Tiankang

"The current freshman list is arranged based on your rankings in the Freshman Competition. Only the top one hundred are displayed, and correspondingly, only the top one hundred students will receive credit rewards."

She tapped Su Mu's name in the air, and a number appeared behind it—12.

"Oh! Junior Brother, quite a lot of people have challenged you! The Freshman Competition just ended yesterday, and you've already received 12 challenge letters today."

Su Mu's face darkened. How could he not know that people were challenging him?

Afterward, Su Mu tapped on the junior year rankings.

[1st Place]: Mu Feng

[2nd Place]: Qin Yang

...

Then he tapped on her name, and the number behind it was:

0!!!

Su Mu's eyes widened. "It's almost the end of the month now. Senior Sister, why don't you have a single challenge letter?"

Mu Feng revealed a harmless smile. "Because they've all been beaten up by me once!"

Su Mu felt an inexplicable chill, and a scene of a red figure carrying a long spear and crazily beating people up surfaced in his mind.

'I must never provoke Senior Sister.'

"By the way, Senior Sister, how many credits do you have now?"

Mu Feng took out her credit card and lightly tapped it, causing a string of numbers to float up.

6345!

"That many?"

"It's alright. I get the credit rewards for my ranking every month, plus I participated in the National Ability University Martial Arts Competition last year and the year before.

I won the championship for my grade both times, so I have a bit more credits."

"Then Senior Sister, with so many credits, why don't you use them?"

Su Mu currently felt like the richest man in a no-man's land, with money but nowhere to spend it.

"I'm planning to exchange them for an SS-grade cultivation resource, so I've been saving up."

"The school can even exchange for SS-grade cultivation resources? How many credits does that take?"

Mu Feng said nonchalantly, "Forget SS-grade, there are even SSS-grade resources, though those require making an extremely significant contribution to the school to obtain.

In the last ten years, it seems only one person has obtained an SSS-grade cultivation resource.

As for how many credits, the price for each SS-grade resource is different. The one I'm eyeing costs 8888 credits."

Speaking of this, Mu Feng's eyes seemed to glow.

Su Mu couldn't help but grumble inwardly. This inflation was too much. If 8888 credits were converted into huaxia coins, it would be almost a hundred million.

A hundred million for just one SS-grade cultivation resource; it truly was a case of 'literature being for the poor while martial arts were for the rich'.

Suddenly, Su Mu remembered that he still had one chance to enter the Treasury Pavilion.

"Senior Sister, what grade of treasures are in the Treasury Pavilion?"

"All the resources and treasures of Modu Ability University are in the Treasury Pavilion, including SSS-grade resources and treasures."

Just as Su Mu was getting excited, Mu Feng's next words instantly shattered his fantasies.

"But the Treasury Pavilion has seven floors in total. The entry opportunity gained from the Freshman Competition only allows access to the bottom four floors.

The bottom four floors don't have SS-grade or SSS-grade treasures. Otherwise, I would have exchanged for that treasure long ago."

"Alright!" Su Mu wasn't particularly disappointed. If the Freshman Competition champion could get SSS-grade resources, that would indeed be too ridiculous.

"Okay, I'm going to train now, Senior Sister. Those two Combat Techniques of yours are both too profound."

The Bailian Tower also had some advanced technology; the effects of using them to assist in practicing Combat Techniques were very obvious.

Mu Feng hurriedly walked toward a training room and immediately began training. Su Mu also keenly noticed that Mu Feng's name on the 'Source Power Intensity Rankings' in the hall changed from gray to green.

"It seems as long as someone is training in the Bailian Tower, their name turns green."

He checked the time; it was almost time for class.

Su Mu was also prepared to leave the Bailian Tower. Just as one of his feet stepped out of the building...

Ding! You have received 12 challenge letters on your first day of school. Many people are dissatisfied with the host's status as first place. Regarding this, you have the following choices:

1. There aren't many credit rewards in a month anyway. It doesn't matter; give the ranking to them. Reward: Source Power +1%.

2. Accept all challenges and defeat everyone. Reward: One fifth-grade Blood Burst Pill.

3. Face the challenges, follow Senior Sister's example, and give everyone a harsh beating. Reward: B-grade Artificial Intelligence.

"Eh! What is Artificial Intelligence?

I choose three!"

Su Mu knew about the fifth-grade Blood Burst Pill. It was a type of pill that could temporarily increase combat power. It was mainly used when hunting fierce beasts in the wild to escape or for a desperate fight.

Although the price was not cheap, Su Mu could still afford it.

Besides, having people constantly challenging him was very troublesome. He still had to go to the wilderness to hunt fierce beasts.

Soon, the system's voice rang out again.

"Congratulations on obtaining a B-grade Artificial Intelligence. It has been delivered to the system space."

He took out the B-grade Artificial Intelligence. It was an object similar to a wristwatch, which Su Mu immediately put on his wrist.

Just as he put it on, a mechanical voice sounded in Su Mu's ear.

"Hello, Master! I am your exclusive artificial intelligence. Please name me!"

Su Mu hesitated slightly before speaking.

"Then from now on, you'll be called Xiao You!"

"Understood, Master. Xiao You will do her best to serve you."
