The Divine Doctor and Stay-at-home Dad Chapter 864 - Too Greedy

Chapter 864 Too Greedy

“My G.o.d, he reached the late stage of the Apotheosis Realm at the age of twenty-one. This is too incredible…”

“It’s so annoying to compete with him. I registered at the stage of the middle of the Nascent Soul and I thought I was amazing. Compared with him, I’m just a loser…”

“A genius is amazing. Compared to him, I’ve lived for nothing! So angry…”

Hearing that there was a freshman at the late stage of the Apotheosis Realm, all the people around the gate of the Tortoise Academy were excited. They wanted to see who the genius student was this year.

Hearing the discussions around him, Qin Haodong shook his head secretly. Originally, he wanted to keep a low profile. He inadvertently became a celebrity again.

At this moment, Zhao Xingyue also completed her test. A yellow halo appeared on the test crystal in her hand.

Zhou Youcai said, “The late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, congratulations on pa.s.sing our academy’s test.”

Qin Haodong was slightly surprised. This girl was obviously at the late stage of the Apotheosis Realm. How could her cultivation be at the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm?

He asked in a low voice, “Did you hide your strength?”

“Yes!” Zhao Xingyue nodded shyly. “I saw that there were so many people surrounding you. I was so scared, so I hid a little of my strength.”

Qin Haodong was speechless. He thought, “Such a timid girl. How did she get out?”

“You two, have you selected your majors?” Zhou Youcai said again.

“Major?” Qin Haodong didn’t expect that he also needed to choose a major. He asked, “What majors does your academy have?”

“A summoned major, an alchemist major, and a martial arts major.”

Qin Haodong said, “Then I’ll choose an alchemist major.”

Zhou Youcai said, “Okay, please show me your alchemist medal.”

“What medal?”

Zhou Youcai explained, “Our academy is the highest level academy in the Lingwu Continent. Naturally, it has its own limit. Only those who have reached the third level or above of refining medicine can select our alchemist major.”

“Then I’d better choose martial arts major!”

Although Qin Haodong was confident that he could do better than anyone else in medicine refining, he had no medal. Therefore, he could only choose the martial arts major.

“So will I.” Zhao Xingyue said immediately as if she was afraid that Qin Haodong would leave her behind.

“Well, you are majoring in martial arts. Come with me to the students’ dormitory now.”

After Zhou Youcai finished speaking, he directly led them through the gate of the Tortoise Academy and walked toward the student living area.

The Tortoise Academy spanned a vast area and was simply like a small city. Fortunately, they were all cultivation artists so their speed was very fast.

“This is your living area. You can choose a dormitory for your own use.”

Looking at the elegant and unique small courtyards in front of him, Qin Haodong asked in surprise, “Is this our student’s dormitory? Do we live alone?”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, “That’s right. In order to make it more convenient for cultivation, a student has a yard. You can choose a dormitory from any of these empty dormitories as long as its door does not have a student mark.”

“What a big deal.”

In Qin Haodong’s previous life, there were four or five people huddled in a small room when he was a student. The current treatment was unimaginable on earth given the high cost of land.

He pointed to a yard and said, “I want this one.”

Then, Zhao Xingyue said, “I want the yard next to his.”

“Okay!” Zhou Youcai’s mouth curved into a sinister smile and said, “The annual rent for our dormitory is five top-level Spirit Stones. Give me the money now!”

“What the h.e.l.l? The dormitory isn’t free? It requires five top-level Spirit Stones each year?”

Qin Haodong felt that Zhou Youcai was more like a businessman than a teacher.

Zhou Youcai said confidently, “Of course, it’s costly to build a dormitory in the academy. It’s very cheap for the price of five top-level Spirit Stones.”

“I…” Qin Haodong was speechless. Was this an academy? It was really difficult to move a single step without money.

Zhao Xingyue asked, “Is there a cheaper dormitory?”

Zhou Youcai said, “Our academy treats everyone equally. Our dormitories have no grades.”

Zhao Xingyue blushed and asked, “Can we live in the same dormitory?”

Zhou Youcai said, “The academy only charges for the number of dormitories. As for how many people there are in your dormitory, it’s your own business.”

Qin Haodong had no choice. He only had eight top-level Spirit Stones in his hand and he couldn’t leave Zhao Xingyue on her own. If he had known this, he would have asked the drunkard geezer for more money.

He took out five top-level Spirit Stones and gave them to Zhou Youcai. Zhou Youcai took the money but was not in a hurry to put them away. He said, “The freshmen still need to buy school uniforms. Each uniform requires one top-level Spirit Stone.”

“Uh…”

Qin Haodong had no choice but to give him another two top-level Spirit Stones and take back two sets of white school uniforms.

“Remember to wear the school uniforms when you go out. Or, you will be fined one top-level Spiritual Stone every time.”

Zhou Youcai continued, “Our Tortoise Academy is a top academy. Our management of students is extremely strict. In the future, you must follow the rules of the academy. Otherwise, you’ll be fined or fired.”

“I have the academy’s management manuals here. I’ll sell them to you at a cheaper price. One top-level Spirit Stone for two management manuals.”

Soon, Zhou Youcai left with eight top-level Spiritual Stones. Qin Haodong had two more small red books in his hands, but his pocket was totally empty.

“d.a.m.n it, I’m a pauper again! You are very greedy!”

Qin Haodong looked at Zhou Youcai’s back angrily and thought.

The money had all been spent. They brought their things into their dormitory.

Although it was a little expensive, the conditions were really good. There were all kinds of daily necessities. The only problem was that there was only one bed.

According to the rules, they had to put on the school uniform. Zhao Xingyue said with embarra.s.sment, “Big Brother Qin, sorry to bother you.”

“It doesn’t matter. It’s fate that we met.”

As Qin Haodong spoke, he flipped through the student management manual in his hand. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since he had become a member of the Tortoise Academy, he wanted to see how this academy managed its students.

Soon he figured out the situation here. The management style of the Tortoise Academy was completely different from that of his previous university.

The academy was divided into four grades. The students from each grade wore different colors, from the first grade to the fourth grade: white, black, blue, and purple.

Fights were forbidden among the students here. However, if there was a conflict, they could issue a challenge letter to the opponent and propose a duel on the challenge platform.

The challenge platform was presided over by the teachers of the academy. Each time, 10 top-level Spiritual Stones would be paid by the challenger. The loser would pay 10 top-level Spiritual Stones to the winner.

At the same time, there were also many auxiliary chapters. For example, the students of a lower grade could refuse the challenge of the senior students. If the senior students refused the challenge of the lower grade students, they would have to pay 10 top-level Spiritual Stones as compensation.

In terms of students’ lessons, the school had its own management style. It did not force the students to attend any cla.s.s. However, there was a comprehensive test every month. The students who ranked lower had to take out top-level Spiritual Stones to reward the students who ranked higher.

The academy also provided lots of ways for students to earn Spirit Stones and distributed Spirit Stones through the school’s mission guild. If students wanted to earn Spirit Stones, they could go to the guild to do tasks. Each task was paid a different number of Spirit Stones according to different levels of difficulties.

As an earth resident, he could see the core of the student management style at a glance, which was to mobilize the students’ enthusiasm through earning money. Under the pressure of earning money, students dared not be lazy at all, unless they had a lot of money.

Qin Haodong was very satisfied with this kind of management. He didn’t need to attend cla.s.ses at all now. He only needed to cultivate with enough Spirit Stones. The slack management style saved him a lot of trouble.

But the problem now was that he didn’t have any Spirit Stone in his hand. He had to find a way to make money as soon as possible.

Zhao Xingyue also realized the importance of money and said, “Big Brother Qin, let’s go to the mission guild and find a way to earn some top-level Spirit Stones.”

Qin Haodong nodded. They went to the mission guild of the academy together.

The mission guild was the largest individual building in the academy. It was divided into four floors. The lower three floors were where the tasks were issued. Each floor had a nearly 1,000 meters wide hall, but it was still filled with students who came to look for tasks.

After all, for most of the students, it was the only way to get more Spirit Stones to cultivate.

They went to the notice board and took a look. They saw that there were many different kinds of tasks posted on it.

These tasks were: help the nearby residents to find cats, help the rich to walk the dogs, hunt demonic beasts to get the internal dan, and help the government to arrest the thieves, and so on.

Generally speaking, the harder the task, the higher the reward.

Qin Haodong looked at it. Although the reward for some tasks was high, they took more time. What he couldn’t afford to waste now was time.

Zhao Xingyue said, “Big Brother Qin, what kind of mission do you think we should do?”

Qin Haodong said, “I don’t think these tasks are suitable for me. If you find any suitable tasks, go ahead and choose one.”

Zhao Xingyue said hurriedly, “How can I do that? I dare not do any task alone.”

“Uh…”

Qin Haodong was speechless for a while. This girl was really timid.

Zhao Xingyue said timidly, “Big Brother Qin, let’s go upstairs and have a look. Maybe there will be a task you are satisfied with.”

“Well, let’s go up.”

Qin Haodong also wanted to find out as much about Tortoise Academy as possible, so he went upstairs with Zhao Xingyue.

The lower three levels of the mission guild were all issued tasks. The tasks on the second level were more advanced than those on the first level. However, after looking through all the tasks of the three levels, Qin Haodong did not see any satisfactory task.

It didn’t mean that he couldn’t complete these tasks, but these tasks took too much time.

They went to the fourth floor and found that this was not a place for issuing tasks, but a place for students to trade.

Here, students could exchange items for things. They could also trade their own things to the academy in exchange for the Spirit Stones they needed.

Qin Haodong walked around and found a student wearing a purple school uniform selling a Cultivation Pill. He went forward and asked, “Senior, how much does this pill cost?”

The student said, “Two hundred top-level Spirit Stones.”

“Two hundred top-level Spirit Stones?” Qin Haodong was shocked. He didn’t expect the price of the pill to be so high.

The student glanced at him and seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with his reaction. “What’s so strange about it? This is a fourth-cla.s.s pill. The price of 200 Spirit Stones is already cheap.”

Qin Haodong was speechless. It seemed that pills were extremely valuable in this world.

When he was on the earth, he refined 36 Cultivation Pills at once. He left them all to Lin Momo so he didn’t have any with him.

“But it doesn’t matter. I will refine another furnace of Cultivation Pills. It will soon solve the dilemma of having no money.”

At the thought of this, he had already determined the direction of making money in the future, which was to refine pills and sell them to earn Spirit Stones as fast as possible to improve his cultivation.

After making up his mind, he left the mission guild with Zhao Xingyue. They walked to the Alchemist Academy nearby.
