Chapter 36 Qi Xiaoran's Apology, Settlement on the 7th Day

In the afternoon, Qi Xiaoran still sent someone to deliver gifts, saying it was compensation for Xiao Yun and the others who had been wronged.

"Wow! Instant noodles, self-heating hot pot, pork cracklings, beef... and fruit! These student council guys are living the good life!"

Wang Tianyuan sighed softly and opened another package.

The shimmering golden light blinded his titanium alloy dog ​​eyes.

"Holy crap! Bulletproof vests, riot shields, composite bows, tear gas...wow, that's a full set of equipment!"

"Holy crap! Accessories! Grade D! Two of them!"

"Holy crap! A Star Moon White Goose egg!"

"Ouch... Ouch!"

Ji Mingyu slapped him on the head and said irritably:

"Be civilized. Is it really worth making such a fuss over such a small amount of compensation for emotional distress?"

"What? You call this a little bit?"

Wang Tianyuan clicked his tongue in amazement:

"Give any good-for-nothing these things, and he'll have enough to eat and drink, and no worries about survival. You still think it's not enough?"

"Look at your greedy face. The enemy used a little trickery and a few sugar-coated bullets and you swayed. Don't you think that those guys' attitudes changed so drastically today? Couldn't they have some ulterior motives?"

Ji Mingyu sighed helplessly, and Wang Tianyuan was taken aback, then gave an awkward smile:

"Hehe, I didn't think this through. So what should we do with all this stuff?"

Zhong Mo frowned and looked at Xiao Yun:

"I don't think we should accept it, Brother Yun. That Qi Xiaoran doesn't seem like a good person!"

The other two also looked at Xiao Yun.

"It's been delivered right to your door, why not accept it?"

Xiao Yun smiled, drinking the medicine while checking the compensation given by Qi Xiaoran.

[Jewelry: Paralysis Ring]

[Grade: D]

[Special Effect - Paralysis: Inflicts paralysis on the wearer's attacks. Enemies affected by paralysis have reduced attack power and slower reaction speed.]

[Description: Classics last forever, and are ineffective against the perverted.]

【Jewelry: Ocean Blue Heart】

[Grade: D]

[Special Effect 1: Intelligence +3 when worn]

[Special Effect 2: When equipped, mana regeneration speed +20%, casting speed +10%]

[Description: With both numerical values ​​and mechanics, it's a great companion for the mage class.]

Both D-grade accessories were highly functional, which surprised Xiao Yun.

"This guy... he's actually quite sincere!"

"Of course we're sincere. Look, we not only sent goose eggs, but we even prepared the seasonings."

Xiao Yun took the things Ji Mingyu handed over, and his expression gradually became quite interesting.

【Jungle Boar Lard】 and 【Star Moon Lake Salt】 are the 'seasonings' mentioned in the preview information obtained on the third day, used to greatly enhance attributes when used with goose eggs!

"The student council is richer than I imagined! Not only are they fully equipped with weapons and equipment, but they even have this kind of comprehensive setup?!"

Xiao Yun was surprised to find that there was another letter in the box.

"Hey! A love letter!"

The three exclaimed in surprise, their faces beaming with mischievous grins.

"……roll!"

Xiao Yun rolled her eyes at them, annoyed, and opened the letter.

Skipping over the first two lines of pleasantries and getting to the main text, Xiao Yun's expression instantly turned extremely serious.

"Daily settlement: Ordinary items without system information are worth 2 points; daily activities and resource harvests are worth 5-10 points; high-value items are worth extra points..."

「F级物品分数3~6,E级物品分数7~11,D级物品分数20~40,C级物品分数50~80,B级及以上物品未知……」

"For all items, treasure chests, etc., found but not ultimately possessed, a small portion of the points is awarded..."

"Killing beasts/monsters with levels: 3 points for no level, 3-5 points for F level, 7-15 points for E level, 16-30 points for D level, 32-50 points for C level, and unknown for higher levels. In addition, there is a chance to drop items, exclusive skills, etc. If you form a contract/tame them, the score will be increased by 30% on the original basis, but there will be no drop reward..."

At the very bottom of the scoring criteria, there is a line of large, bright red text:

"Kills are scored based on the attributes, skill levels and quantities of both sides, and talent levels and quantities. If the kill is an assistance, rewards and final scores are distributed according to combat contribution..."

"Currently, it is known that ordinary people score 5-20 points, ninth-tier professionals score 15-30 points, eighth-tier professionals score 35-55 points, seventh-tier professionals score 60-85 points, and the scores for higher levels are unknown... Scoring and rewards for skipping levels decrease, while scoring and rewards for skipping levels increase..."

That concludes the daily scoring details.

"This list is very brief; the student council might have much more detailed information..."

Xiao Yun was still unable to calm down, finding it hard to believe that the student council's intelligence and resources had become so advanced.

"They've only been here for a week, where did they get such detailed intelligence? Did they analyze each member's actions and then work backward from the daily scores?"

Filled with doubt, Xiao Yun continued reading.

Next came Qi Xiaoran's words, all flattering and sycophantic, offering little substance.

However, one passage caught Xiao Yun's attention.

"You need to score 100 points or more at the end of the day to get a job change card, and it's completely random. If you want to choose a job, you need to score 120 or more. It's absolutely impossible to achieve this by yourself or your whole dorm..."

"Fortunately, I... am quite wealthy. If you wish, please contact me anytime. The student council welcomes you!"

It has to be said that Xiao Yun was somewhat tempted by the conditions proposed by Qi Xiaoran.

So far, my highest score is 77 points, and that was only because I hit the jackpot and made a fortune through trading with the [Wandering Monkey].

According to Qi Xiaoran, it would take nearly 30 more points to reach the threshold of becoming a professional, and to choose a career according to one's own ideas, one would need to reach 120 points or more.

"It's so difficult... so difficult! My highest score is less than 60, I'll never reach that level in my lifetime!"

Wang Tianyuan sighed softly, looking at Xiao Yun with a complex expression:

"Brother Yun, I think Qi Xiaoran is quite sincere. Why don't you just go along with him? Even if you just pretend to comply, it's fine!"

"From my ass!"

Xiao Yun snorted coldly and said:

"It's just 120 points, how could I not achieve it? Not only will I achieve it, but I'll also lead everyone in my dorm to reach 120 points and get the jobs they want!"

"Brother Yun is awesome!"

Zhong Mo cheered first, and Ji Mingyu nodded with a smile:

"Exactly, a gentleman doesn't accept charity. Without the student council, does that mean we're all no longer professionals?"

Wang Tianyuan chuckled and shrugged.

"Alright, I trust Brother Yun, but having Qi Xiaoran's help would definitely be the most convenient..."

Xiao Yun shook his head and explained:

"Taking someone else's things is like getting on their ship; it'll cause a lot of trouble later..."

"Moreover, the student council currently possesses information and resources beyond imagination, yet its origins are unusually mysterious. Something feels off, so it's best to keep our distance and remain vigilant."

"So, should we accept these items today or not?"

"Why aren't you charging us for emotional distress?"

Xiao Yun smiled and was about to allocate resources when he was suddenly stopped by Ji Mingyu.

"Take all the things yourself today and see if you can break through the 100 mark in one go."

"How could that be? These were all sent by Qi Xiaoran. He must have planned it all out. We've been in the dorm all day and haven't gotten anything else. It's impossible."

Xiao Yun shook his head. Based on the details just now, he had roughly calculated today's score.

It should be around 70 or 80 points, but definitely not 100. It depends on what level the goose egg reaches after cooking.

It was getting late, just in time for dinner.

Heat oil in a pan and fry the eggs.

A rich aroma filled the room, and the four people and the bird drooled as they looked at the golden fried eggs in the pan.

Before the fried eggs could cool down, the four of them grabbed their portions and swallowed them whole.

The rich aroma of oil explodes in your mouth, the fried egg white is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and with the addition of lake salt, a specialty of Xingyue Lake, it even has a hint of fishy freshness.

The runny yolk, sweet as it flows into the stomach, bursts forth with tremendous force, like swallowing a mouthful of lava.

A terrifying heat surged through his body, and Xiao Yun felt his entire body boiling over, his clothes completely soaked with sweat.

The four people and the bird sat around the campfire, quietly closing their eyes, digesting this powerful force.

Half an hour later, Xiao Yun was the first to open his eyes.

[Ding! Successfully made 'Starry Night Omelet' (Grade D)]

[Eating Star and Moon Omelet grants +3 to Strength, +3 to Constitution, +1 to Agility, and +1 to Intelligence.]

"A quarter of a fried egg added a full eight points to my attributes!"

Then, replace the [Intelligence Amulet] with the [Azure Heart], equip the Paralysis Ring, and the paper strength on the stats panel will increase even further.

Name: Xiao Yun

【Strength: 15】

[Active Skills: Focus, Mana Flow]

With the combined effects of two large doses of goose eggs and the [Tears of the Stars], my stats have reached a terrifying level.

"I really do need to thank Qi Xiaoran..."

Xiao Yun couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. Even though he had some doubts about Qi Xiaoran, he sincerely admired this man for his respect for the virtuous and his generosity.

"If the student council behaves well afterward and there aren't any other hidden secrets as I imagine, joining seems like a good option..."

Xiao Yun was somewhat tempted, unaware that on the other side, in the student council office, Qi Xiaoran was being verbally abused by his subordinates.

"What the hell were you thinking? The brothers risked their lives to get this amazing equipment, and you just gave it all away to an outsider!"

"Cough cough cough, how can there be a return without investment? Besides, goose eggs are delicious eaten raw!"

"You son of a bitch..."

Du Zhaoyan looked at her minister and sighed helplessly.

Why did he suddenly feel that his minister was a bit despicable...?

Time flies, and it was soon past midnight.

Daily settlements arrive on time.

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully surviving for one day. Rewards for today are being calculated!]

Today, you made contact with a group calling themselves the "Student Council" and successfully obtained supplies from them using your personal charm... Facing accusations from your enemies and doubts from the public, you successfully won everyone's trust through your strength and gained the approval of the student council leader...

[Because of your excellence, you received supplies from the student council, enriching your home's food reserves, obtaining two powerful pieces of equipment, and even successfully crafting "Starry Night Omelette," greatly enhancing your strength!]

Today's score: 79 points, reward being distributed...

[Congratulations on receiving: Backpack Expansion Card x5, Building Upgrade Card x2, Equipment Upgrade Card x2, Skill Upgrade Card x1, Selectable E-Rank Job Skill Book Pack x1, Solar-Powered Walkie-Talkie x2]

Congratulations! You have received additional combat rewards: Strength +1, Agility +1

After receiving the reward, Xiao Yun first used an equipment upgrade card on the [Broken Mithril Sword] to upgrade the weapon to D+ quality.

Xiao Yun had one equipment upgrade card left and wanted to use it on the [Beginner] set, but the system prompted that there were not enough items.

"Tsk... A set doesn't count as one piece of equipment, so it requires four upgrade cards, which is a bit expensive..."

Xiao Yun sighed softly, pondered for a moment, then carefully put away the other upgrade card, saving it for later when he could collect all the cards.

Without hesitation, Xiao Yun used the two building upgrade cards to upgrade [Spiritual Fountain] by two levels.

[Spiritual Fountain D→D+]

[Resources/Buildings: Fountain of Spirituality]

[Quality: D+]

[Special Effect 1: Restores 10 mana every 10 seconds after consumption]

[Special Effect 2: Fills the surrounding enclosed space with spiritual energy. The higher the quality of the spring water and the longer the time, the stronger the spiritual energy. It can increase the intelligence of the resident by up to 0.8 per day.]

"So, if I sleep tonight, my intelligence attribute will be 16 tomorrow?"

Xiao Yun's face was full of joy. With the [Fountain of Spirituality] and the [Tears of Stars] on his body, his strength could steadily improve even if he stayed in his dormitory every day.

"The full moon is in seven days. It would be safer to become a ninth-ranked professional before then..."

There was also a [Skill Upgrade Card]. After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yun chose to upgrade [Tranquility].

[Relax: E+ → D-]

After the upgrade, the mana cost of activating [Tranquility] has been reduced to 3 points every 10 seconds, the increase to intelligence attribute has been increased to 35%, and the correction of intelligence attribute to various bodily functions has been increased to 140%.

Furthermore, when passively activated, it also grants an additional effect of [Intelligence +1].

"Anything that can add points is a good thing..."

Before the upgrade was even finished, Xiao Yun struck while the iron was hot and opened the [Selectable Grade E Professional Skill Book Gift Pack].

A series of familiar dialog boxes appeared before his eyes. Because he was already prepared, Xiao Yun did not hesitate this time.

[Ding! Skill selected: Mana Shock]

[Skill Book: Mana Shock]

[Applicable Class: Mage]

Rank: E

[Active Effect: Consumes 10% mana to unleash a mana shockwave centered on the caster, stunning enemies within a 5-meter radius for 1.5 seconds. For one minute after the stun ends, enemies are slowed by 20%.]

[Learning Requirements: Intelligence Level 11]

[Description: Good skills are like this: simple, straightforward, and beautiful in their numbers.]

Xiao Yun actually wanted a movement skill to increase his survivability, but unfortunately, movement skills were too advanced and were not available in the E-level gift pack.

However, Mana Shock's strong control effect is also good, and it is more versatile in the early stages.

After choosing to learn, a large amount of information flooded my mind.

Soon, Xiao Yun mastered the skill [Mana Shock].

The others have also finished sorting out today's findings.

With the "Starry Night Omelet" as a foundation, even without other highlights, everyone's ratings weren't low, all above 45 points.

The rewards are also quite substantial.

Ji Mingyu has acquired another aura-type skill that can increase the speed of nearby teammates by 20% for five minutes, which means he is now completely on the path of becoming a stay-at-home dad.

Wang Tianyuan obtained a decorative ring that, when worn, increases the damage of arrows fired by consuming mana.

Zhong Mo then acquired an arm guard, which increased his defensive capabilities.

The rest are miscellaneous resource cards, equipment cards, and crafting blueprints, which are useless at low levels and many are duplicates.

"Keep the spring water resource card and the wooden box making blueprints. Give the rest to Huang Haoran and Xie Yingjie tomorrow and let them take them to the free market to sell."
