Chapter 198: Chapter 148: The Association’s Pig-killing Board, The First Encounter with Rona_2 Chapter 198: Chapter 148: The Association’s Pig-killing Board, The First Encounter with Rona_2 [You walk to the end of the corridor and push open the tightly shut door…]

[The great hall is filled with seats arranged in a tier-like pattern, with only a scattering of scholars seated to watch the ceremony.]

[At the far end of the hall is a speaker’s platform shrouded with a red curtain.]

[Your abrupt arrival draws the attention of the scholars present. They put down their books and turn their attention to you in unison.]

[This is your first encounter with the ‘Scholars of the Multivision Association’. The sight of their nurous eyes sends chills down your spine, leaving you dizzy and overwheld with a chaos of knowledge filling your soul.]

[You have acquired knowledge, boosting your Knowledge by 225! Current Knowledge: 1720/2700]

[A ‘Multivision Association Registrar’, dressed in the association’s uniform, rushes towards you.]

[He cos to your side, signaling for you to quickly hand over your ‘Scholar’s Examination Eligibility Certificate’ so that he can begin the scholar promotion ceremony for you.]

[You hand him the square card, he looks at the certificate and exclaims loudly that you, surprisingly, are an ‘Elite Scholar’ who has passed all assessnts with excellent grades!]

[The scholars present cast envious glances at you.]

[The ‘Multivision Association Registrar’ informs you that the promotion ceremony for ordinary scholars is quite simple. It rely involves presenting the scholar with a certificate, badge, and ceremonial robe from the association in the presence of the many scholars congregated.]

[However, as an ‘Elite Scholar’, you stand distinctly apart from the typical scholars.]

[He pulls out a list and hands it to you…]

[Scholar’s Badge (Item), a book-shaped badge made of Refined Copper, engraved with many characters that twinkle in white light. Carrying this item grants a very small power boost to your knowledge-based abilities. Spiritual Value: 0]

[Elite Scholar’s Badge (Item), a book-shaped badge made of Refined Copper, engraved with many characters that twinkle in white light. Carrying this item grants a minor power boost to your knowledge-based abilities. Spiritual Value: 10000]

[Scholar Badge (Item)… Carrying this item grants a significant power boost to your knowledge-based abilities. Spiritual Value: 100000]

[Association Scholar’s Robe (Excellent Level Equipnt), a finely tailored robe made of special silk fabric, bearing the Polyvision School’s unique multitude of eyeballs symbol on the chest. Wearing this equipnt grants a very small resistance boost to your knowledge-based abilities. Spiritual Value: 0]

[Association Elite Scholar’s Robe (Excellent Level Equipnt)… Wearing this equipnt grants a minor resistance boost to your knowledge-based abilities. Spiritual Value: 5000]

[Association Scholar Robe (Excellent Level Equipnt)… Wearing this equipnt grants a significant resistance boost to your knowledge-based abilities. Spiritual Value: 50000]

[The ‘Multivision Association Registrar’ informs you that during the promotion ceremony for ordinary scholars, the association gives out certificates, badges, and robes for free; however, these are the lowest quality items.]

[If you want higher quality badges and robes, they are available, but at a cost of spiritual energy.]

[But ‘Elite Scholars’ get an amazing deal. The robes and badges listed on the invoice can be purchased by ‘Elite Scholars’ at half price in spiritual energy.]

[If you’re strapped for cash, you can opt for the free inferior items. But if you do have enough spiritual energy, he suggests you spend it to get the higher-quality badges and robes.]

[After all, missing such a great deal might be a lifelong regret.]

[Do you want to trade with the ‘Multivision Association Registrar’?]

Lin Xun’s eyes widen in surprise.

Good heavens, isn’t this similar to the type of raffle run by low-cost jewelry and gemstone counters?

Every ti they participate, custors either hit the jackpot or win first prize, earning the opportunity to buy so jewelry from the counter at an extrely discounted price.

The custors think they’ve struck gold, and promptly pay up, not realizing it’s all a cunning sche by the rchants to make a killing… the only ones who truly profit are the rchants.

Isn’t his ‘Elite Scholar’ title akin to the jackpot prize?

For a mont, Lin Xun found himself grimacing at the tricks of this underworld ga.

Upon careful consideration, though, it seems like… maybe… the prices after the discount seem sowhat acceptable given the usefulness of these items.

Lin Xun shakes his head, decisively dismissing these horrific thoughts.

As a seasoned master of freebies, a champion of getting the goods for nothing, and a living symbol of only receiving without giving out, would I ever let this underworld ga sche out of my pocket?

With narrowed eyes, he promptly chooses to trade with the registrar, selecting the two free items.

Without any hesitation, he chooses the free deals with smooth and swift actions.

[The ‘Multivision Association Registrar’ stands in place, seemingly taken aback by your firm decision.]

[He stares at you for a long ti before shaking his head, seemingly resigned.]

Lin Xun chuckles scornfully. If he wants the robe and badge of a Scholar, why should he part with his spiritual energy?

He just needs to find a Scholar, take control of him, and then he’ll be able to get the robes and badge without spending a di, right?

[With a stone-faced expression, the ‘Multivision Association Registrar’ leads you onto the speaker’s platform. In the presence of the many Scholars…]

[He presents you with the Scholar’s Certificate, Badge, and Robe from the ‘Polyvision School Association’.]

[You have received the ‘Polyvision School Association’s Scholar’s Certificate’ (Trash)]

[You have received a ‘Scholar’s Badge’ (Item)]

[You have received an ‘Association Scholar’s Robe’ (Excellent Level Equipnt)]
