45: Many back-to-school discounts

Everyone returned to the dormitory.

All Trainees of the 2122nd Class received an email notifying them of their academy division based on their current points, and instructing them to gather at the designated location in the afternoon.

Xiao Weiqing opened his Wristband.

He checked the email.

"Trainee Xiao Weiqing, congratulations. You achieved 1364 points and ranked 48th in the Dragon Fish Platform entrance assessment, earning entry into the Upper Academy. Please proceed to the Upper Academy A Zone No. 4 Training Ground at 2:00 PM."

"Dong~ Dong!"

"Coming."

Xiao Weiqing got up and opened the door.

"Brother Qing, everyone is about to split up. Qin Sheng and the others said they wanted to hold a get-together," said Zhang Dawei.

"Okay, let's go."

After a meal.

They parted ways.

Everyone knew that opportunities to meet again might be scarce.

Luo Jiang Academy was even larger than a typical city, and the Upper Academy was located at the very center of the academy.

Aside from the central area, the periphery was divided into four sectors, which housed Trainees from the first to fourth years. Each sector was further divided into three inner and outer layers: the Upper Academy, Middle Academy, and Lower Academy.

The Upper Academy for each year was closest to the school's central area, the Middle Academy was in the middle, and the Lower Academy was on the outermost edge.

Anqiu City's performance in this assessment was quite good.

Six people entered the Middle Academy: Zhang Dawei, Qin Sheng, Zhu Dong, Ning Zhi, and two other Trainees whose Extraordinary Talent was a Level 3 'Art'.

This result couldn't exactly be called outstanding, but Xiao Weiqing and Wei Lan both entered the Upper Academy, and Xiao Weiqing was ranked within the top 50.

"Brother Qing, I'm leaving now," Zhang Dawei said to Xiao Weiqing.

"Mhm, keep up the hard work. Do not slack off in your Cultivation."

"Got it, Brother Qing."

"Wei Lan, take good care of my Brother Qing." After Zhang Dawei finished speaking, he turned and left.

Wei Lan's cheeks flushed red, and she said weakly:

"Brother Qing, let's go too."

"Mhm."

Luo Jiang Academy was built alongside the Luo River and was situated on the east side of the Luo River.

The academy's first year academic district was located on the east side of the academy, furthest from the Luo River.

The two arrived at a transportation hub and boarded a suspended train, which was heading toward the Upper Academy area.

At this moment.

There were already people on the train.

"Xiao Weiqing?"

"And you are?"

Xiao Weiqing looked curiously at the combination of the two people in front of him—one tall and thin, the other short and fat.

"Zhuang Yu from Yunchuan City. That's Fatty Xiaobao."

"It's Fei Xiaobao, Fei, fourth tone," Fei Xiaobao corrected.

"Hello."

Fei Xiaobao jiggled the fat on his body and said admiringly, "Xiao Weiqing, you're truly incredible. You actually defeated Qin Tian."

Xiao Weiqing nodded, "Mhm."

Fei Xiaobao was stunned, "Interesting."

Seeing that Xiao Weiqing wasn't modest at all, the two found him very amusing.

"Is it just us here?"

Xiao Weiqing surveyed the carriage; out of more than 100 seats, only over 40 people were seated.

"That bunch from Prefecture City hasn't arrived yet."

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

The Geniuses from Prefecture City, led by Qin Tian, entered the carriage one after another. Qin Tian now looked no different from an ordinary person, showing no sign of injury.

After Qin Tian entered, he looked at Xiao Weiqing and nodded.

Xiao Weiqing nodded in response.

The Trainees from Prefecture City sat down, and the more than 100 seats were instantly packed full.

But this suspended train carriage did not start moving.

"What's going on? Shouldn't everyone be here already?"

Qin Tian said, "Don't rush. Are there still people missing?"

"Still more people?"

"Aren't there already 100 people?" Fei Xiaobao said while counting the seats.

Ten rows with ten people each.

Qin Tian said with rare indignation, "A bunch of vampires hasn't arrived yet."

"Brother Tian, if you talk like that, this sister will be heartbroken. Was there something you weren't satisfied with regarding this sister's service this morning?"

A playful laugh came from outside the cabin door.

Just then.

A woman led nearly 20 people in; most of them were girls.

Xiao Weiqing still recognized one of them: it was the girl named Yuan Qin who had replenished Fan Ming's Spiritual Qi back on the zhi yong ship.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, everyone turned their heads to look at Qin Tian, wearing strange expressions.

Fei Xiaobao was even more blunt, "Well, I never! I couldn't tell. This Qin Tian looks so righteous, yet he's actually this type of person. But I really want to know the pricing standard for this sister."

Everyone turned their heads and looked at Fei Xiaobao with contempt.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm just purely curious, trying to understand the market," Fei Xiaobao said earnestly.

The woman walked closer and said to Fei Xiaobao, "This elder brother, this sister's prices aren't expensive. It's 20 for a partial session."

"A full set is 100 per session, with a 20% discount for the first time."

"Great Xia Coins?" Fei Xiaobao asked.

The woman said, "Elder brother, you must be joking. Of course, it's points."

Fei Xiaobao exclaimed, "What? 100 points?"

The woman affirmed, "Of course."

"Hello, all Geniuses of the Upper Academy. My name is Ye Pingping, and we are Trainees from the 2122nd Class Medical Class."

"We are about to join the Healing Department. In the future, any Genius who is injured should feel free to come find us. Our fees are absolutely fair and reasonable, honest with everyone, and we can heal anything—Physical Body, Mental Energy, Spiritual Qi."

Everyone finally remembered the Healing Department of Luo Jiang Academy. They had actually seen some information on the forum before—advertisements, to be precise.

Trainees of the Healing Department usually do not possess offensive capabilities with their Extraordinary Talent. They can be useful, even sought after, when forming teams for missions.

However, upon returning to the academy, they lacked competitiveness in confrontations, such as in Sky Ladder Duels, where they were rarely seen. Thus, they were missing a large source of points.

Therefore, the academy allowed them to publicly earn points using their Extraordinary Talent.

"Hmph!"

Qin Tian let out a cold snort.

"If it's 100 per session, why did you charge me 120? We're both from the same urban area, aren't we?"

Ye Pingping covered her mouth and chuckled, "Brother Tian, since you have a larger physique, charging 150 points would be reasonable, wouldn't it? I already gave you a 20% discount, which is why I charged 120 points."

"You should know that this morning your whole body was practically cooked, like a boiled prawn. I saved you, otherwise, Brother Tian wouldn't be so lively right now."

"Not only does Brother Tian not show gratitude, but he blames this sister instead. That's truly disheartening."

"That's still too expensive."

Ye Pingping smiled slightly, "Brother Tian, you could get a membership card, but you didn't want to."

"A card?" Fei Xiaobao asked, confused.

"Of course. If you get a card and pre-deposit 1000 points, you get one full set session free, plus 10% off regular treatments. During the start of school, there are many discounts, and groups can also enjoy one free physical examination."

"Hiss!"

Hearing this, Xiao Weiqing gasped, realizing that this Ye Pingping really knew how to do business.

Pre-depositing 1000 points? Good heavens, most people here only have a little over 1000 points. If everyone bought a card, all the points from this assessment would be earned by the Medical Class.

"Hmph, even if I die outside, I won't come looking for you again." Qin Tian was still distressed over his points.

Ye Pingping said, "Hehe, Brother Tian, if you knew the pricing standards of the Senior Sisters, you'd know what true value for money is."

Ye Pingping then led the twenty-plus people to the back and sat down.

The suspended train began to start, driving toward the center of the academy.
