Chapter 1146: Chapter 1148: Money-Making Ability
Having completely torn off all pretenses with Sun Wukong and Shen Lang, Nangong Po no longer felt the need to disguise his intentions. He knew very clearly that he was destined to be enemies with Sun Wukong, with absolutely no chance for reconciliation.
Based on the evaluation scores from the first four levels, he, Shen Lang, and Sun Wukong were all surely going to enter the Holy Book Academy.
Upon entering the academy, they were bound to face competition, and what he needed to do was to go all out to surpass Sun Wukong and Shen Lang!
No matter what ans he had to employ or what price he had to pay, he had to win!
If he lost, Sun Wukong would never let him go!
Feeling the enmity from Nangong Po, Sun Wukong rely let out a faint sneer, indifferent to it.
“Everyone, today is the fifth assessnt, and also the last one. After this assessnt, your scores from the second to fifth assessnts will be tallied.”
The outer courtyard teacher, Gongsun Yu, glanced at the crowd, his gaze pausing on Sun Wukong for a mont before continuing,
“This fifth assessnt tests an ability other than your combat power: the ability to make money!”
“Making money?”
“What kind of ability is this? Why assess this?”
“We are all geniuses from wealthy families, with ample resources provided to us, we don’t need to make money ourselves at all!”
…
Upon hearing Gongsun Yu’s words, everyone was sowhat puzzled. They thought the last assessnt would be sothing high-tech or advanced, but it turned out to be about making money!
Isn’t this too frivolous?
“What, you think this is aningless?”
Gongsun Yu saw through their thoughts and coldly snorted,
“I know you are all outstanding talents from major forces, with all your cultivation resources provided by those forces, never having to worry about finances. But what I want to say is, that was then!”
“The resources at the Holy Book Academy are thousands of tis stronger than the resources you previously received! Similarly, the academy will not provide resources to you for free. You need to create corresponding value for the academy through your own efforts.”
“After you enter the Holy Book Academy, your relationship with the forces behind you remains, but the help they can provide is minimal. How many cultivation resources you can receive from the academy will depend on your own strength and capability.”
“Therefore, this Fifth Level assesses your ability to make money!”
“Starting now, your ties with the forces behind you will be cut off, and you won’t receive any further assistance from them. The academy will issue each of you a Mysterious Spirit Card with a starting fund of ten million Mysterious Spirit Coins.”
“You can use these ten million Mysterious Spirit Coins to make more money. The academy won’t interfere with how you use them or how you earn, and whether you end up in the red or black will be shown in the Mysterious Spirit Card.”
As Gongsun Yu spoke, he moved his hand, and Mystic Spirit Cards flew out from his hand, landing in the hands of Sun Wukong and others, one card per person.
Ten million Mysterious Spirit Coins?
Sun Wukong slightly furrowed his brow. The Holy Book Academy is rather stingy, isn’t it?
Ten million Mysterious Spirit Coins sound like a lot, but translated, it’s just one Mysterious Spirit Blue Coin, and Sun Wukong spends more than that on small change at auctions.
Obviously, others had similar thoughts, with looks of disdain appearing on their faces but soon disappearing.
Nangong Po looked at the Mysterious Spirit Card in his hand, a trace of smugness flashing in his eyes. He knew all about Sun Wukong’s origins, just a guy from the small Yuan Realm, without sect or faction, how could he compare with him?
Even if they lost support from the forces behind them starting now, they still carried quite a bit of Mysterious Spirit Coins on them, with the least having one Mysterious Spirit Purple Coin, equivalent to ten billion Mysterious Spirit Coins.
How much Mysterious Spirit Coins could a native like Sun Wukong have? At most ten pieces of Mysterious Spirit Blue Coins maybe?
With what could he compete with him?
“Sun Wukong, this ti, I’ll definitely leave you far behind, completely surpass you! Just wait!”
With a cold snort, Nangong Po walked out with the Mysterious Spirit Card.
Gongsun Yu had said, within half a month, we’ll see how many Mysterious Spirit Coins are on their Mysterious Spirit Cards, and that will determine the results of this Fifth Level assessnt.
As for what ans they use to make money, Gongsun Yu didn’t say, nor does the Holy Book Academy care. Even if they steal or rob, as long as they have the skills to avoid getting killed, no one cares!
In any case, the Holy Book Academy will judge victory by the amount of Mysterious Spirit Coins on the Mysterious Spirit Cards!
One by one, the assessnt participants left. These were all talented figures from various major forces of the Han Hai Realm’s four great Star Domains, with substantial wealth, so the Holy Book Academy’s Fifth Level assessnt seed to them completely devoid of challenge.
Even without further support from the forces behind them starting now, the wealth they currently carry is enough to earn a good rank.
“Brother Wukong, this competition is unfair! You’re at too much of a disadvantage!”
Shen Lang’s face turned gloomy. He knew Sun Wukong’s background and knew that Sun Wukong naturally didn’t have any force supporting him from behind. In his view, Sun Wukong probably didn’t have much money, right?
From Shen Lang’s perspective, this kind of assessnt was very unfair to Sun Wukong!
“Don’t worry! It’s no big deal, making money is simple!”
Sun Wukong smiled, showing no concern at all, and winked at Shen Lang,
“Shen Lang, have you forgotten our identity as Alchemists?”
Shen Lang was taken aback, then his eyes lit up.
Oh, that’s right!
They were both Alchemists!
If you’re talking about who’s the richest in the Han Hai Realm, Alchemists are definitely at the top!
Artifact Refiners have to obediently stand back!
The demand for Elixir Pills is enormous everywhere, and a good Alchemist can refine Spirit Pills valued at hundreds of tis the cost from materials worth a thousand Mysterious Spirit Coins.
In terms of making money quickly, no one can compare to an Alchemist!
“Brother Wukong, you are right, there is nothing to worry about, we’re going to win this competition!”
Shen Lang laughed, “Let’s go back and engage in Alchemy. In half a month, we can refine a significant number of Elixir Pills, and then have them auctioned at the Xue Shan Star auction house. The Mysterious Spirit Coins we earn will definitely crush them!”
Watching Shen Lang and Sun Wukong walk out of the assessnt place with confidence, both Zi Ying and Lei Na showed puzzled expressions on their faces.
Zi Ying also knew about Sun Wukong’s origins, so it was strange where Sun Wukong got his confidence from. Was Shen Lang going to help him?
However, the two did not say anything, and Zi Ying did not ask more. She too had to think of a way to make money quickly since, compared with others, she had fewer Mysterious Spirit Coins.
Lei Na did not know Sun Wukong’s background, but she knew Sun Wukong absolutely did not have any major forces backing him. Where did this kid get his confidence?
