Chapter 546 - Deceptive Dorm Room (1/2)

The senior martial brother stated with profound meaning, “These contribution points are useful for a lifetime. Even if you leave the sect, as long as the academy doesn’t one day fall, those contribution points will be useful one day.

When you have been here for a long time, you will understand — the things inside the academy — whether they are clothing, food, housing, and transportation; or pills, talisman, arrays, or spells — are much better than those on the outside, and the price is less than half the price on the outside. Only a fool will kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.”

Yan Tianhen was a little dumbfounded. He had brought on him who knows how many spirit stones, but currently he was told that these spirit stones had basically become useless?

Seeing Yan Tianhen dazed, Yin Changge sympathized with him and patted him on the shoulder, said, “Don’t be sad, anyway, you know many people here, there will definitely be someone willing to help you.”

Yan Tianhen’s face had a depression of “nothing left to live for” as he spoke, “Did you know, both my dad and imperial father came out from Myriad Dao Academy.”

Yin Changge stared blankly.

“They certainly know the rules in here, but didn’t tell me. Clearly, they wanted to screw with me and have me fully go through this experience.” Yan Tianhen sighed and said, “Just you watch, no one will help me.”

Yin Changge, “…..”

Yin Changge asked, “Then, do you want to also pick a work-study assignment?”

Yan Tianhen said, “I’m afraid I cannot choose. The purpose of work-study programs is to deduct tuition fees, and the amount given is relatively large. Anyone who sees me will know that I’m the typical rich fool, so I definitely won’t be able to get an assignment.”

Yin Changge, ” …..”

After they returned to the dormitory, it didn’t take long for Steward Ruan to come.

Steward Ruan was followed by several other Stewards. She glanced at all the disciples that were present and said, “In this examination, a total of 600 passed the Academy’s entrance exam, and 150 people each went to the East, West, North, and South Courtyards, including 80 people to the Alchemy Division, 60 to the Craftsman Division, and 460 to the Dao Division. There are less than three days before the formal start of the term. This is the residence of the examinees. Follow me to the disciples’ dormitory.”

Previously, someone had already alerted them about moving dormitories today, and the disciples had already packed up, only waiting for someone to lead them away. On the road, Yan Tianhen and Yin Changge were whispering.

Yin Changge asked, “Didn’t you say that there are 3,000 disciples in each year? How come only 600 people are remaining in our year?”

Yan Tianhen replied, “There are 3,600 people this year. Apart from us disciples that entered the sect, there are 3,000 disciples in name only. As long as they donate a large tuition fee, they can still take the exam again next year. If they get accepted next year, they can then cultivate with us.”

Yin Changge, ” …..”

There sure are many foolish people who have a lot of money.

The residences of official disciples were divided according to the courtyard: Yan Tianhen and a few friends all lived in the East Courtyard. As soon as they entered the courtyard, Yan Tianhen felt stupefied.

The house was so dilapidated that even the roof looked as if it was just about to collapse. The surrounding area was dirty, the trees were destroyed, and the weeds were overgrown. It was clearly a deserted courtyard; it clearly wasn’t intended for people to live in.

“Maybe in the middle of the night, we’ll be killed by falling bricks. Can people actually live here?”

Steward Ruan leisurely spoke, “Naturally, there are also good places to live, but you have to rely on the contribution points of the sect to exchange for the right to rent. Well, you don’t know the rules of the academy yet. Give me a moment, I will send you the rules now, have a good look.”

After she said that, Steward Ruan waved her cloud sleeve, and in all the present disciples’ sea of knowledge, there was an extra scroll. Densely written on the scroll, which was hundreds of feet long, were various rules of the sect. Looking at it made people feel dizzy.

Yan Tianhen noticed that in Myriad Dao Academy, no matter what you did, you needed to use contribution points, and the acquisition of contribution points, other than stealing and killing, could be obtained through all kinds of channels. Contrary to expectations, anything goes.

In terms of housing, the courtyard here was the worst, but the one advantage was that it didn’t cost money. If you wanted to stay in a sheltered or magnificent courtyard, you could only exchange it using contribution points, and the deceptive thing was that a bedroom can only accommodate one person. If two people were living there, it was then necessary to pay for one more person.

Yan Tianhen quickly skimmed through it again and found that if he got caught violating the school rules, there would be a deduction from his contribution points and different amounts of contribution points would be deducted for different degrees of violations.

The contribution points would be stored in the leaf ticket. That ticket was not only a ship ticket, but was also an identity card closely related to its master. If its master died, this life card would send the information to the sect, and the corresponding life card in the academy would also be extinguished and broken.

Everyone had an initial amount of contribution points. When Yan Tianhen checked his own life card, the contribution points above turned out to be a full one thousand points.

“How many contribution points do you have?” asked Yan Tianhen in a low voice to Yin Changge, Gu Ruyu, and the others.

Yin Changge looked at his life card and said, “2,000 points.”

Yan Tianhen, “…”

Gu Ruyu said, “I have 3,000 points.”

Qi Feiqing blinked and said, “I only have 300 points.”

Yan Tianhen said, “It turns out that everyone is different.”

Gu Ruyu said, “This was converted according to the performance and ranking of each round of examinations. Yin Changge took first place in the written examination and was directly given 1,800 points.”

“What about you?” Yan Tianhen eagerly watched Gu Ruyu.

Gu Ruyu smiled and said, “I was the tenth out of the evil spirits array, the second in the written test, and the third in the overall Dao Division’s competition, so I was given more.”

Yan Tianhen’s eyes were red with envy and said, “If I had known that ranking was so important, I would have expended more effort on the exams.”

Qi Feiqing sighed, lamenting how the heavens were unfair.
