Zhou Bai looked at Elsa’s unhappy face and tried to persuade her sincerely, "Elsa, don’t throw a tantrum. We’re so poor now, being able to eat this is already good."
Elsa: "Boohoo~~"
Zhou Bai: "Don’t think 200 points is a lot. I can only earn 200 points a month. Eating three bowls of rice a day is 3 points, and you also eat three bowls. For the two of us, that’s 6 points a day, which is 180 points a month."
Elsa: "Boohoo~~"
Zhou Bai: "That’s just for food, not counting clothes and daily necessities. Fortunately, Christina doesn’t need to eat. Otherwise, we’d really be eaten poor by you two."
Saying this, Zhou Bai took a few big bites of white rice, his face showing a satisfied smile, and he said to Elsa, "It slls so good, Elsa. Hurry up and eat. This rice is so delicious."
Elsa’s nose kept twitching, and after slling it for a while, she finally couldn’t help but open her mouth and began eating in big mouthfuls.
Seeing Elsa eating ravenously, Zhou Bai started laughing and quickly finished the white rice in his bowl.
Instantly, he felt his tired body and brain start to recover, and he had a refreshed feeling all over.
"Good stuff, this thing only costs 1 point. You probably can’t exchange for this outside."
Zhou Bai blinked; outside, the sa 1 point could only get you one or two bowls of rice but without the special effects. Being able to exchange 1 point for food that could quickly restore energy and strength was a benefit of Dao School.
So, while a commoner outside might get 100 to 200 points a month, similar to Dao School students, the quality of their food and clothing was completely different.
Just when Zhou Bai was full, he saw Elsa carrying her food bowl over to him, putting her special food bowl in front of him.
"Elsa? What’s wrong?" Zhou Bai looked at the remaining half bowl of rice in the food bowl and looked at Elsa in doubt.
Elsa moved her head, pointing at Zhou Bai, then at the rice.
Zhou Bai: "You want... to eat more?"
Elsa imdiately opened her mouth and wagged her tail non-stop.
Zhou Bai patted Elsa’s head and looked at her drooling face, "No need, Elsa. I’m full. You should eat your own."
Elsa still wouldn’t give up, continuously pushing the food bowl towards Zhou Bai.
Zhou Bai remained silent for a while, looking at Elsa’s wide eyes and slowly said, "Elsa, the base’s situation had nothing to do with you. Everyone... it wasn’t because you ate too much that things happened.
Go ahead and eat. I’ll find a way to earn more points from now on. Then we’ll definitely clean out this cafeteria, eating until we’re sick."
Watching Elsa obediently finish the remaining white rice, Zhou Bai finally nodded in satisfaction.
Suddenly, he was plunged into darkness. Soone was already sitting across from him with a food tray.
Zhou Bai looked closely. It was a young man with long golden hair, a mole at the corner of his eye, and fair skin.
Zhou Bai then glanced at the person’s food tray, his Adam’s apple moved, and he swallowed.
Crystal Demon Seed, 20 points; Hundred Herb Porridge, 20 points; Stewed Luan Bird Wings, 30 points.
Just looking at these, Zhou Bai saw 70 points.
Not to ntion the final Basilisk Bone Soup, another 120 points.
Elsa opened her mouth, staring dumbfounded at the bone soup on the table, and even the rice grains fell out of her mouth unknowingly.
"190 points, huh..." Zhou Bai swallowed again, looking at the golden-haired youth and asked, "You seem to be in our year too? Spending 190 points just like that, what are you planning to live on next?"
The golden-haired youth took a bite of the Hundred Herb Porridge, smiling at Zhou Bai, "Hello, top student. It’s rare that a genius like you rembers my face. My na is Qian Wangsun, the third in this year."
He glanced at the food on the table and said leisurely, "Points, they’re ant to be used. I’d rather convert them into strength than anything behind."
Zhou Bai: "What will you do later?"
Qian Wangsun thought for a mont and said casually, "I’ll find a way. I don’t believe the school will starve us to death."
"...As long as you’re happy." Zhou Bai turned his head, forcing himself not to look at the pile of points on the table, and picked up his own bowl, planning to leave.
But he heard Qian Wangsun say, "Hey, don’t leave so soon! I still have sothing to tell you!" Seeing that Zhou Bai didn’t even look back, Qian Wangsun sighed, "Ah, it seems I won’t be able to mooch als off him in the future."
Zhou Bai dragged Elsa out quickly, not wanting to see the other’s feasting visage.
But on his way back to the dormitory, he saw two youths blocking his path without him realizing it.
Looking at one of the long-haired n, Zhou Bai said, "Zuo Dao?"
Zuo Dao looked at Zhou Bai and said blandly, "Zhou Bai, I’m here to tell you. For the next two months, give it your all to beco stronger. Next ti I defeat you in the test, I don’t want you to have any excuses."
After a deep look at Zhou Bai, Zuo Dao turned and left.
Zhou Bai thought, ’This guy is so lodramatic.’
Beside Zuo Dao, a bald youth smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, Zhou Bai, Zuo Dao... well, he’s actually a good guy. Just sotis he acts too freely. Don’t take it to heart, he ans no harm."
Saying that, the bald youth extended his hand, "I’m Jian Xing."
Zhou Bai also extended his hand and shook it, "It’s fine, I didn’t take it to heart."
Jian Xing smiled, looking at Elsa beside Zhou Bai, "I just saw you taking your dog to the cafeteria. He must be important to you?"
Zhou Bai paused for a mont, then nodded.
Jian Xing said, "The situation has been getting worse in the past few years, and Dao School’s resources are becoming scarcer. Earning 200 points and still having to feed a dog is not enough, but there are ways."
Zhou Bai’s eyes lit up, "What ways?"
Jian Xing: "Dao School’s ultimate goal is to cultivate talented individuals. The more gifted students naturally earn the most points. The bi-monthly assessnts determine how many points you get monthly."
"I see." Zhou Bai suddenly frowned, "But I was the top student in the entrance exam. Why don’t I get more points?"
Jian Xing smiled slightly, "I’ll be off then. See you."
"See you."
After bidding farewell to Jian Xing, the sky had grown darker, and the artificial lights above dimd accordingly. Zhou Bai led Elsa into the dormitory.
He couldn’t tell if it was his imagination, but the corridor inside seed dimr than usual, with a faint unpleasant odor wafting through his nose.
"What’s going on? Did soone pee in the corridor?"
Zhou Bai frowned as he walked to his room’s door, suddenly pausing in surprise.
The door was open.
"Christina? Are you in?"
Zhou Bai gently pushed the door open.
