Chapter 1005: 628, Points! Points! _3
Second is the donation of items.
The list of items for donation has just been updated. Previously, only genetic potions and Inner World research data could be exchanged for points, but today it has been expanded to include a variety of botanical atlases.
As long as you can find seeds of the plants from the atlas and bring them back to the Outer World, you can make a small fortune; each type of seed can be exchanged for 100-200 points.
This has left the students very puzzled, wondering if the academy is collecting resources for the Agricultural College.
However, these types of points are a bit difficult to earn because those plants are in the Taboo Land.
They are available on the black market, but they require a large amount of Inner World currency to buy.
Third is technological development.
As long as you achieve a breakthrough in the Outer World and apply Inner World technology to it, you can earn considerable points.
The technology still belongs to the students; the academy doesn’t take it from them. The points are just an encouragement for such behavior.
Fourth is ranking points.
Every month, the academy conducts exams, and the top fifty students from each college receive 100-300 points, a measure to encourage studying. If you study hard, you can also become rich, watch movies, enjoy stir-fries, and have special meals.
There is also a club ranking. The top three clubs can earn group points, with monthly rewards of 1000, 500, and 300 group points, respectively.
As for what the points can be exchanged for, the system is currently being updated.
It’s said to be something very impressive, even aiding cultivation.
This has made everyone anticipate for a while, so now everyone is saving points, afraid that they won’t grab good items when they become available.
At this time, Chen Sui and Tang Wei, wearing sports jerseys, returned to the dormitory to shower with their backpacks in hand.
As soon as they entered, they saw Qing Chen and Liu Ning had already returned. Chen Sui looked at them, “Don’t you need to go gather points?”
“I’m taking the wilderness survival class. It’s quite interesting. Today’s lesson was about what can be eaten in the wild. The content feels quite useful, and the points awarded are high,” Liu Ning said.
Tang Wei was envious again. He really wanted to enroll in that class but unfortunately couldn’t.
Wait, the scramble for elective courses is also done through the computer system. Isn’t their matrix for playing with computers? Just make a course-grabbing program!
Who could compete with the matrix?
Chen Sui looked at everyone and sighed, “Everything used to be free, but why is it that after Qing Chen became a board member, everything started costing money? Is it his doing?!”
Qing Chen twitched slightly but pretended not to hear anything.
At this time, Chen Sui opened his backpack.
Suddenly, he hurriedly covered it.
He looked around in shock, a layer of cold sweat forming on his back.
Because somehow, there was an extra note in his backpack: I’m watching you.
Chen Sui whispered to Tang Wei, “Who touched my backpack while I was playing soccer?”
“I don’t know, right? No one did, right?” Tang Wei replied, puzzled, “What’s wrong?”
Chen Sui whispered, “Someone slipped a note into my backpack. I suspect Qing Chen has set his sights on me! It’s strange because I observed all day at the Institute of Technology and didn’t see Qing Chen at all. Has he already disguised himself to follow me? He wants to mess with me!”
“No way,” Tang Wei said.
“Why not,” Chen Sui insisted, “I did some shady things before like undermining Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen. He definitely wants to get back at me! He must be hiding around me!”
Qing Chen lay on the bed silently planning a route for collecting plants, thinking that it would be best for Chen Sui and the others to bicker among themselves; it would save him a lot of time and energy…
Good.

In Nangong Yuanyu’s dormitory, he had just finished showering, wearing a pair of beach shorts.
His bronze body was full of muscular lines, also covered with scars.
These were the scars from when they had just arrived in the wilderness, were ambushed, captured, and tortured by the wildlings, now fully healed.
The months spent in the wilderness were the fastest-growing time of his life.
Adversity made him steady.
Intrigue and resource grabbing, even when helping the wildlings, you had to watch your back. The person you helped might stab you for meds or supplies at night.
That place was too barren, and everything had to start over.
In his dormitory gathered the core members of the Freemasonry.
Nangong Yuanyu instructed, “Before the crossing, make sure to distribute the medication. They just finished winter over there, and it’s easy to get sick when the season changes in the wilderness. Also, it’s been over a week since we left Lao Luo, make sure to send him a message to say we’re safe. We owe him a lot.”
The Freemasonry members looked at him worriedly, “Boss, are you alright? We heard the Agricultural College is tough. How about transferring out? We heard the teachers might soon bring everyone to cultivate together.”
Nangong Yuanyu shook his head, “No, Mr. Shadow’s orders must be followed. If he wants me in the Agricultural College, there must be a reason. As for being tired, weren’t we tired enough in the wilderness? We’ve all been through hardships; we shouldn’t mind these small matters.”
“But, it seems there’s no future in the Agricultural College. Spending time farming feels like a waste… It would be more productive to plan for the settlement,” a member of the Freemasonry suggested.
“No need to persuade me,” Nangong Yuanyu said, “I have a feeling that the Agricultural College isn’t that simple, especially with that dean and those teachers… By the way, after you finish collecting points, don’t just sit around, go cultivate Zhun Ti Method. Also, those of you in paired cultivation, keep a low profile when you get to the academy, understood?”
Inside the Freemasonry, the male and female students were about equally divided. After going through adversity in the wild, how could they not form bonds?
The academy required them to live separately by gender, but Freemasonry was like a big family. Couples had already swapped dorms with classmates to live together in the same room, like married couples.
So… the Freemasonry’s cultivation progress was quite fast.
“I’ve noticed that the Agricultural College has already closed its registration portal, and they don’t seem to be planning to recruit more students for the time being,” Nangong Yuanyu said, “But I suspect that among the eight in the Agricultural College, someone will surely drop out. When they refill the spots, you can register two people to come with me. Also, those of you in paired cultivation, keep the noise down; don’t bring a bad reputation to the Zhun Ti Method…”
At this time, a Freemasonry member asked, “Are we going after the club ranking points as well?”
Nangong Yuanyu calmly nodded, “Yes, I’ll ask the dean tomorrow if there are ways to earn points in the Agricultural College.”
