Become the strongest in the world of gods through game experience

Zhang Xiaoyuan's words rekindled Ishida's hope, but also left him feeling very depressed.

"Brother Yuan, I feel like you're just playing me for a fool."

"How could that be? As long as you pass the assessment and join my college when you choose a college, I will lend you the money for using the teleportation array."

Zhang Xiaoyuan said with a smile.

Having a wealth of game knowledge in her mind means Zhang Xiaoyuan can level up quickly using these methods.

However, even if there are methods, the most important way to level up is still to fight monsters.

What's most important when you're alone in the wild? It's not strong fighting ability, but survival ability.

For Zhang Xiaoyuan, food is a very important part.

Although she could kill monsters to obtain ingredients, Zhang Xiaoyuan was well aware of her own cooking skills; she was already lucky if she didn't get food poisoning after eating them.

Most of the time, just looking at their appearance is enough to make people want to vomit.

If Ishida could join the same academy as him, then when he went out hunting monsters, he wouldn't have to worry about going hungry, which would solve all his worries.

"Brother Yuan, are you really going to lend me this much money?"

When Shi Tian saw Zhang Xiaoyuan patting his chest and speaking seriously, he began to believe her a little more, thinking that Zhang Xiaoyuan was not playing him this time, but was genuinely helping him.

After all, in Ishida's view, Zhang Xiaoyuan just wanted to have a familiar and reliable teammate after entering the Divine Academy, and there were plenty of such "teammates".

In Ishida's view, Zhang Xiaoyuan's simple request was intended to help him.

Even if Zhang Xiaoyuan has fallen in love with him... he will cook for Zhang Xiaoyuan in the future, without her having to ask.

After all, by following Zhang Xiaoyuan, Ishida could obtain a lot of uncooked monster ingredients, which was a very attractive temptation for him.

"Thank you so much!"

Seeing Zhang Xiaoyuan nod seriously, Ishida let out an excited shout and hurriedly ran towards the line at the edge of the square.

Just as Zhang Xiaoyuan expected, that place really was where they registered for the teleportation array.

As a human contestant who had participated in the competition at the booth, Ishida could skip the queue and directly register to borrow the teleportation array.

However, the cost will not be reduced; 100 silver coins are required for one teleportation.

"What? 100 silver coins? That's way too expensive! My kitchen knife only cost 100 silver coins, okay? You're not trying to rip me off because I'm an outsider, are you?"

Ishida looked warily at the fanged rat alien who was registering. With its shifty eyes and sneaky appearance, it was clear that it was not a good alien.

He had a heated discussion with the fanged rat, trying to cut the price down, but was immediately kicked out.

"Get out of here, get out of here. What are you doing causing trouble if you don't have money?"

The fanged rat curled its lip, looking disdainful.

"100 silver coins, is that right? I paid it for him."

A soft yet powerful hand patted Ishida Ken's shoulder, and as the words fell, ten stacks of silver coins were placed on the table.

"Brother Yuan, 100 silver coins is too much. I can't pay it back in a short time."

Ishida's expression was somewhat conflicted.

"It's alright, you can pay off your debt while you're at the academy."

Zhang Xiaoyuan waved his hand dismissively. With a skilled cook by his side, he could keep hunting monsters and earn far more than 100 silver coins.

"Hmph, you little rat, I've reserved the spot at the teleportation array!"

With enough silver coins, Ishida was full of confidence.

"Hey, who are you calling a mouse?" Sharp-toothed Mouse glared at Ishida; he hated being called a mouse.

"Whoever is a rat, I'll call them out!"

Ishida made a face, grabbed a stone tablet from the table, and ran away into the distance.

Although he enjoyed the banter, he was also afraid that the other party would be shameless and take back the teleportation stone tablet.

The teleportation stone tablet is made of a type of rock with exceptional ductility. When inscribed with ancient elven spells, it releases a defensive power to help the holder withstand the immense pressure of the teleportation array.

Just then, Hou Mu's weak voice sounded from behind Zhang Xiaoyuan and the other person.

"Brother Yuan, could you lend me some silver coins too? I'd like to visit Elf City as well. Don't worry, I'll pay you back when I have the money."

"Sorry, I can't answer."

Zhang Xiaoyuan shook her head and refused.

"why……"

Hou Mu's face immediately turned ugly. If he could lend money to Shi Tian, ​​why couldn't he lend money to him? Just because he had made a few sarcastic remarks when they first met? That's so petty!

"Look, I'm out of money."

Zhang Xiaoyuan frowned, but didn't say anything more. He simply opened the data panel and showed his backpack.

I just took out 100 silver coins, and now I have 11 silver coins left.

"This……"

Hou Mu froze. Eleven silver coins, plus the dozens of silver coins he already had, weren't enough to cover the cost of the teleportation stone tablet.

"Captain, how much do you have left?"

Hou Mu looked at Ci Nianyun again; this was his last hope, he had to...

"Sorry, I don't have many left."

Ci Nianyun looked apologetic. After buying the resurrection potion, she also bought several skincare products yesterday.

Although it was cheap, it nearly emptied her of her silver coins, leaving her with only three.

"Alright, Hou Mu, don't wander around the city. Kill some low-level magical beasts outside the city, and you'll be able to hold out until the finals for each team."

As long as our team finishes in the top five, you will still receive a reward.

Ishida comforted him, saying that he had borrowed all the money, which, in another sense, meant he had indirectly taken away Hou Mu's opportunity to go to the Elf City, and he still felt a little guilty.

Zhang Xiaoyuan and Ci Nianyun were the winners of the contest, and without needing to purchase anything, soldiers brought them two teleportation stone tablets.

"We're now using the teleportation array. This way, please."

The soldier said, and at that moment, only half of the ten minutes that Pina had mentioned had passed.

"This isn't about preparing to activate the teleportation array; it's clearly about waiting for viewers to buy teleportation tokens."

Ishida curled his lip. A single teleportation stone tablet costs 100 silver coins, and there are at least 400 alien races waiting at the teleportation array. He wondered how many silver coins he could earn per trip.

Led by the soldiers, the three of them easily entered the teleportation array. Beside them were Sheryl, Pina, and other members of the Elf race, as well as the two alien races who had passed the competition.

"This must be your first time using a teleportation array. Don't be nervous. Just silently count to three, and in the blink of an eye, you'll be in Elf City," Sheryl said with a smile.

"Hey, I've counted ten times and the position still hasn't changed."

Ishida blinked hard, puzzled, and asked.

"..."

"That's because the teleportation array hasn't been activated yet."

Pina wrinkled her nose and gave a soft snort.

Within seconds, Zhang Xiaoyuan felt the ground beneath her feet shaking, and a green, transparent wall appeared around her, allowing her to clearly see the alien race watching from outside.

boom!

A loud roar rang out, and then Zhang Xiaoyuan felt the world spinning around him, a strong sense of dizziness washing over him, making him feel drowsy.

However, this discomfort did not last long, and Xue Lu's voice rang in Zhang Xiaoyuan's ear:

"Elf City, we've arrived!"
