The entrance ceremony was for students from the School of Foreign Languages.
Most of the students in the inner academy were promoted from the outer academy, so there was no entrance ceremony; at most, they would celebrate on their own.
However, there are exceptions. For example, those like Xu Yuan who directly enter the inner academy naturally have an entrance ceremony, but it is not held together with the outer academy.
With Xu Yuan's perfect score this time, entering the Sea God Pavilion is inevitable.
"Alright, there aren't many things to note. I've already mentioned them to you. The most important thing is cultivation, which requires your own effort."
Wang Hao led the three to the dormitory area and then left.
"Let's all tidy up our dorm rooms first."
The inner court disciples' dormitories are all individual villas, independent houses.
Xu Yuan and the other two each chose an empty house, arranged all their belongings, cleaned the rooms, and then reunited at Xu Yuan's door.
"I heard from senior Wang Hao that all transactions within the academy are conducted using contribution points. How many do you have in your accounts?"
Xu Lizhi scratched his head and said, "I have five hundred in my card."
"Five hundred." Ye Xinglan also said five hundred.
Xu Yuan nodded and said, "I have a thousand points."
"When Senior Wang Hao introduced the program, he said that apart from the food expenses, everything in the college depends on contribution points. We should first understand the value of contribution points, and at the same time figure out how to earn them."
"Brother Xu Yuan, what do you suggest we do?" Xu Lizhi asked.
Ye Xinglan was not good with words, but she also seemed to be listening to Xu Yuan.
“Earning contribution points is nothing more than trading or completing tasks. In terms of trading, we should only be the ones spending contribution points at this stage. As for tasks, I don’t know if forging and other secondary professions count. By the way, what are your two secondary professions?” Xu Yuan asked.
“I’m a mecha mechanic,” Xu Lizhi said.
"I am a mecha manufacturer," Ye Xinglan said.
What level are you at?
"Level 2." ×2
Xu Yuan understood.
"Level 2 students should already be able to accept tasks and earn money through the relevant associations. Similarly, our college should have similar associations where students can earn contribution points."
Xu Lizhi and Ye Xinglan nodded.
"Of course, we haven't encountered any places that require contribution points yet, so there's no need to rush." Xu Yuan led the two to find the cafeteria.
Xu Yuan has lived two lives, but Xu Lizhi and Ye Xinglan are actually only seven-year-old children.
Under Xu Yuan's mature tone and inexplicable leadership aura, Xu Lizhi and Ye Xinglan were quite compliant.
The three were the only three specially admitted students to pass the assessment in recent years. They were the youngest in the inner academy, so they would often exchange ideas and things. Xu Yuan quickly established his core position.
......
While eating, Xu Yuan taught the little fat boy the techniques for circulating soul power in the Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique.
Whether it was a matter of talent or sheer motivation, the chubby boy mastered the basics after just one meal.
In return, the chubby boy happily ate 10% more food than usual.
Ye Xinglan frowned the entire time.
She is strongly against foodies eating so much, as getting too fat is bad for their health.
"My Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique not only enhances digestion but also absorption. As long as the little fat boy doesn't neglect physical exercise, he won't gain weight."
"Little Fatty, practice the Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique well. This ultimate skill still needs to be perfected. I'm counting on you."
Xu Lizhi nodded firmly.
“I just found out that the college does have associations for all secondary professions. I’ve also found out the approximate locations. Let’s go and join an association, the three of us.”
"Uh-huh."
"Brother Xu Yuan, aren't we going to split up? By the way, Brother Xu Yuan, what's your side job?" Xu Lizhi asked curiously.
“Just call me Brother Yuan from now on,” Xu Yuan said. “As for my secondary professions, I’ve studied mecha design, mecha manufacturing, and mecha repair. I’ve also reached level two in blacksmithing.”
"Huh?" Xu Lizhi was stunned and said incredulously, "Xu...Yuan-ge, you've learned four secondary professions?"
Ye Xinglan also had a look of disbelief on her face.
Where do you find the time to learn so much?
I'm already exhausted from just one task.
Xu Yuan smiled and pointed to his head.
"My brain works pretty well."
My brain is superior to everyone else's!
Chapter 39 The Problem with Martial Souls (Please read on!!!)
Xu Yuan and Ye Xinglan participated in the assessment of the Shrek Mecha Manufacturers Association and became members of the association.
"Both of you are level two mecha manufacturers, and you are capable of undertaking the manufacturing of some mecha parts. You can take on tasks through the association's channels. The association will only take a 5% cut, and the rest will all be yours. In addition, as long as you complete five tasks each month, the association will also give you a reward of 1,000 contribution points."
Joining an association always has its benefits.
For example, the reward of 1,000 contribution points. As far as Xu Yuan knew, contribution points were extremely valuable. Even if you were to exchange them, you couldn't get one contribution point for 100 Federal Coins. This meant that the value of 1,000 contribution points exceeded 100,000 Federal Coins.
You only need to complete five tasks.
"You two are still inner court students, and the association can provide you with a dedicated production studio."
"By the way, here are some of the association's course schedules. If you have time, or are interested in a particular topic that a senior student or teacher will be explaining, you can come to the association to watch and learn, but you will need to pay contribution points."
The association's benefits were quite comprehensive. After learning about the benefits, Xu Yuan and Ye Xinglan quickly left the Mecha Manufacturing Association.
The next stop was the Mech Repair Association. Compared to the Mech Manufacturing Association, there were slightly fewer people here. Xu Yuan and Xu Lizhi quickly lined up for the assessment.
Similar to the benefits offered by the Mech Manufacturing Association, Xu Yuan and his companion were also able to enjoy similar treatment at the Mech Repair Association.
Xu Yuan was not warned that he could only receive one subsistence allowance.
As long as they can complete the tasks assigned by their respective associations, they can easily receive as many welfare benefits as they want.
Based on this calculation, Xu Yuan could receive at least four welfare payments.
That's 4,000 contribution points. Plus, you get contribution points for completing tasks, so you can earn about 7,000 to 8,000 contribution points a month.
No, there's another association.
After the Mech Manufacturing Association and the Mech Repair Association, Xu Yuan had the two of them accompany him to complete the assessments for the Mech Design Association and the Forging Association.
There are a total of four sub-professional associations, and Xu Yuan is registered in all of them, making him a level two professional.
"Let's go, there's one more association." Xu Yuan led the two to the last association.
Mech Pilots Association.
The four associations mentioned earlier were all formed by secondary professionals, while the Mech Pilot Association is composed of mech pilots within the academy and can also customize mechs for students.
Unfortunately, all the students who come to Shrek Academy want to become Battle Armor Masters and are not very interested in Mecha Masters. As a result, the Mecha Master Association is the least successful association in the entire Shrek Academy.
But that doesn’t mean the Mech Pilots Association is useless.
At least, the expected benefits are still there, such as the ability for professionals in the four major professions to cooperate with the Mech Pilot Association.
After all, the creation and upgrading of mechs cannot be separated from the four major professions. Even though the Mech Pilots Association usually signs agreements directly with the other four major associations to hire and cooperate with them for customization, the Mech Pilots Association also has its own professionals.
It can only be said that the main body was completed by themselves, while the parts were outsourced to the association of secondary professionals.
Xu Yuan brought Xu Lizhi and Ye Xinglan to the Mech Pilots Association, where they joined and became professionals in the association, where they could also receive missions.
“Our level isn’t high. Even when we take on missions from associations like the Mech Manufacturing Association, they’re all scattered. We don’t have a comprehensive understanding of the effects and uses of the parts we make. On the other hand, the missions from the Mech Pilots Association are systematic. The manufacturing process involves many mech manufacturers working together, and there are more opportunities for exchange and learning,” Xu Yuan explained to the two of them.
......
After joining the association, Xu Lizhi and Ye Xinglan returned to their dormitory and began their respective cultivation practices.
Xu Yuan then went to the academy's archives.
Cai Yue'er once said that even if Xu Yuan wanted a 100,000-year-old soul bone, the Sea God Pavilion wouldn't necessarily agree to such a request, but Xu Yuan wasn't stupid.
If such a request is made, impression points are secondary; the most important thing is when one can obtain the 100,000-year-old soul bone.
Even Shrek Academy, does it really have 100,000-year-old soul bones stored at all times?
Even if I had one, I couldn't tell you that I don't have a 100,000-year soul bone for the time being, and that I'd give it to you when I have the chance.
Which academy would give you a 100,000-year-old soul bone as soon as you enroll? Even if they have it in stock, you have to wait a few years and observe your character before giving it to you.
Moreover, even if he obtains it, when will Xu Yuan be able to fuse with the 100,000-year-old soul bone?
It is said that there is no time limit for the fusion of soul bones. Even if the soul power level is not high enough, as long as the will is sufficient, it can be absorbed. But how much will is considered sufficient?
A 100,000-year-old soul bone is fundamentally different from a 10,000-year-old soul bone; the will of the 100,000-year-old soul beast contained within it is much stronger...
"If I really want a 100,000-year-old soul bone, I should still have a chance."
Xu Yuan looked at the rows of bookshelves in the archives room, his mind already itching for more information.
