68: Ten million is actually not a small amount (revised version)

"However, they gave a solution: your family can move to Cyber City, and your younger brother can also study there."

"That's the core city of the Giant Bear Domain, with a military force similar to that of a Border City."

"The safety concerns you have can be addressed there to the greatest extent."

"If Cyber City were to fall one day, the Seventh Ecological Circle would probably be on the verge of collapse too."

Chen Du nodded; this outcome was even better than he had expected.

University lasts for four years, and there's only one condition for early graduation: becoming a Sky Soaring Warrior!

Without special circumstances, one must remain at the school for all four years.

This rule does not apply to ordinary Martial Arts Universities, only to the Eight Famous Schools and the Three Top Academies.

Li Mu looked at the vast wilderness around them.

"Even a power at the level of Qilin Martial Arts University cannot allow an ordinary family to relocate."

"You should understand the implication of this by now, right?"

Chen Du wasn't stupid, he was just a bit stubborn about certain things:

"Hmm, if relocation between ecological circles were allowed freely, then people living in an ecological circle with greater pressure..."

"...would definitely try to move to other ecological circles, and the distance between two ecological circles is not close, so population movement is a risk."

"Furthermore, this would cause an imbalance in various industries within an ecological circle, making the already high-pressure ecological circle even worse."

"To put it more severely, this impact would even spread to other ecological circles."

Li Mu nodded, satisfied, and said:

"Well said. Another point is that it would cause panic, creating a scene where refugees are everywhere."

"As a student, you might not fully understand. People who live well hope for civilization to get better and better."

"People who are not doing well, however, hope for destruction, and free migration would amplify this problem."

Chen Du nodded, half-understanding; he hadn't thought about it in such detail.

His current goal was simple: first, to become a Martial Artist, and then, at Qilin Martial Arts University, to quickly achieve Skysoaring Dao.

Only then would he have the ability to do something for High Martial Civilization.

After Li Mu finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and pulled two cards from his pocket:

"These are from those two teachers, 1 million each, for a total of 2 million."

As if knowing what Chen Du would say, Li Mu immediately added:

"Don't refuse just because this number is too large for you. You should know, that's only for you; for Sky Soaring Warriors, this isn't money. You can think of it as a small red envelope from the boss on your first day of work."

2 million, a small red envelope...

Chen Du swallowed and took the two cards from Li Mu's hand.

At this moment, Chen Du's gaze swept across, noticing the value of the qi and blood medicine on the contract.

"Ten million!"

It had increased tenfold from the original!

This was just for resources before the National Higher Education Entrance Examination, what could cost so much money?!

Chen Du was shocked!

"Cough, cough..."

"It's like this, Chen Du, High Martial Civilization doesn't only have you needing resources, even though you have an A-grade contract."

"But so many B-grade, C-grade, D-grade contracts, as well as faculty teachers, etc., also need resources."

"Even the most top-tier universities have limited resources!"

"So, ten million is actually quite a lot!"

Holy cow!

After hearing the principal's comforting words, Chen Du yelled in his heart, I meant to say, how is it so much?!

Today is March 21st, and the National Higher Education Entrance Examination is from June 16th to 18th, leaving less than three months.

Over two months, for qi and blood medicine worth ten million!

This would be impossible to use up even if he bathed in qi and blood milk, right?!

Poverty truly limited my imagination!

He then looked at the principal with gratitude; the other party must have received this contract last night and read it carefully, and then specifically came out to tell him so much.

Li Mu felt a bit embarrassed at this, as if the ten million was given by him.

"Chen Du, you don't need to thank me for anything."

"To be honest, Principal, my helping you is actually helping myself."

"Liang City is a small to medium-sized city, and I am just an ordinary person, I want to be a principal in a medium, large, or even central city!"

"Your ability to get into Qilin Martial Arts University is a great help to me."

"The person you truly need to thank should be Teacher Ling."

"He has done a lot for you behind the scenes, and it's selfless."

"Even if you get into Qilin Martial Arts University, he will only receive a little more bonus money."

Chen Du felt a wave of shame upon hearing this; everyone seemed to be silently helping him.

And he seemed to have given nothing in return, but he also understood that what everyone expected was the accomplished him in the future.

Not the current third-year high school student who isn't even a Martial Artist.

......

The four had been talking since leaving the circle, but they hadn't stopped walking quickly for a moment.

"We're here."

Ling Yun, who was walking in front, looked at his wristband and raised his hand to signal everyone to stop:

"It's ten thousand meters."

Then he spoke to Chen Du:

"Coming out today, besides informing you of the predicament of High Martial Civilization and making you understand your own value..."

"...Teacher Ya Die and I also took the opportunity to carry out a patrol mission."

"Both of us are members of the Martial Artist Alliance - City Defense Force; it's impossible for us to just wander around the city every day."

"The ten thousand meters outside the 56 entrances and exits of the Seventh Ecological Circle are our cordon."

"Remember, it's a cordon, not territory. Our City Defense Force must not only maintain the safety within the city..."

"...but also be vigilant against hidden dangers outside the ecological circle."

Whoosh!

Ya Die suddenly activated her Mental Energy, and a ball of red light, like clothing, draped over Ling Yun's blue light.

"This is one of Teacher Ya Die's only two Mental Skill Martial Skills, 'Brave and Resolute'."

"Simply put, it's applying another layer of Mental Energy on top of the opponent's Spiritual Power Attachment."

"Don't underestimate this layer of red light."

"Teacher Ling's Life Strength is level 19; in his current state, while he can't say he can trade one for one above Skysoaring..."

"...he is invincible below Skysoaring!"

"A patrol within a ten-thousand-meter range could directly involve contact with Alien Civilization wandering outside, so caution is essential!"

Li Mu explained to Chen Du, watching the two cooperate seamlessly.

Chen Du also saw Ling Yun's weapon for the first time today: a short knife that had been kept in his martial arts uniform.

He then examined the red light on Ling Yun's body.

"Only two? What's the other one?"

Mental Skill Martial Skills were too rare; this was the first time Chen Du had seen someone else use one besides himself.

He was very curious about what strange abilities they possessed.

"Ah, this..."

Li Mu seemed to freeze, stuttering for a moment.

With the red light on Ling Yun's body flickering, he said:

"Chen Du, Mental Skill Martial Skills are a Mental Artist's greatest secret!"

"Even though Teacher Ya Die has a good relationship with you, she won't tell you!"

Ya Die nodded quickly:

"That's right!"

......

The patrol went smoothly; no aliens were found. Afterward, the four returned to Border City No. 56 and took a plane back to Liang City.

As he watched the three leave, Li Mu suddenly remembered something and shouted:

"Chen Du!"

"What is it, Principal?" Chen Du was startled, then turned around and said.

"The principal knows you're a good kid."

"Why are ecological circles divided into nine? This is an exam question!"

"When the time comes, you absolutely must not write any nonsense about not putting all your eggs in one basket."

"Multi-faceted development, comprehensive innovation, invigorating the nation through science and technology, and the Martial Dao's long rainbow!"

"You must remember these 16 characters!"

"That answer above will get you 0 points on your entire paper!"

"Understood, Principal..."

Am I that stupid?

Chen Du thought to himself.

......

After returning to the Martial Arts Room, it was already 23:36.

"Let's raise my Life Strength to level 6 now!"

Looking at the exquisite gift box on the table, Chen Du said excitedly.
