Chapter 210: Joining the Guild (3k)
“Sorry, I don’t have any plans for now.” Su Jiu’s gaze shifted to the judges’ seats. She put down her scythe, making a heavy clanging sound, and then said indifferently.
As a freshman who didn’t know anything, it was extremely unwise to rashly join an organization. She had checked relevant information on her phone on the way – these organizations could be linked to academic points. Academic points were linked to obtainable resources. If one joined someone else’s organization carelessly, they might have to work like a cow or a horse for a year before switching. This meant if the organization’s higher-ups didn’t like you, they could hold you back indefinitely.
Instead of looking for unknown organizations to join, it was better to find Little White’s brother’s organization. Since they were all acquaintances, they probably wouldn’t betray her.
“Junior schoolmate, don’t be in a hurry to refuse. Listen to what resources I can offer you each semester first.” Hu Ling was slightly stunned by Su Jiu’s decisive refusal. After a moment, her face revealed a smile again as she continued, “In addition to full academic points, I’ll also give you ten beginner magic crystals and three rare medicinal herbs with adaptive properties.”
As soon as she said this, the audience below erupted in noisy discussion.
“Holy crap, the student union can offer such benefits? I guess they’re a big organization!” An older student from the second year suddenly exclaimed, almost dropping his thick glasses. His face was filled with disbelief.
“Are these benefits that high?” A freshman next to him looked at him in confusion, asking a bit bewilderedly.
“More than high, these benefits are already higher than some high-rank battle generals outside… You know, a beginner magic crystal is already at the minimum price of 500,000. Ten of them would be five million. Plus some medicinal herbs, it’s probably close to ten million in benefits.” The older second-year student’s eyes were burning as he looked at the stage, but he didn’t express too much.
Although the conditions she offered Su Jiu were very high, they were only for individuals. These students might not be able to enjoy them.
Seeing this, Hu Ling’s beautiful eyes swept over the audience below. As if to promote, she continued to shout loudly, “Other freshmen who reach the Battle General level will receive the same benefits as this junior schoolmate. If they reach the Half-step Battle General level, they will receive three magic crystals and one medicinal herb.”
“Students who haven’t met the requirements don’t need to be discouraged. You can come to the student union for an internship and do some work within your capabilities. Excellent performance will still earn you magic crystals.”
Hearing Hu Ling’s words, the audience present became excited again. The clamor flew straight to the sky, and some even wanted to join on the spot, even though they knew they would likely just be fillers.
Hu Ling glanced at the crowd below. She proudly puffed out her full chest, her gaze smugly sweeping over Bai Qianyu, and then looked at Su Jiu with confidence, as if saying, “Little girl, aren’t you going to come and grovel?”
“Sorry, senior sister. I’m used to being free, so I’ll pass on a collective organization like the student union.”
Meeting the other party’s gaze, as the saying goes, one shouldn’t hit someone with a smile. Su Jiu didn’t say much more. She slightly cupped her fist in a bow in that direction.
“Re… refuse?”
Hu Ling was so straightforwardly rejected. Besides shock, a hint of coldness flashed across her face, but she still maintained her aloof persona. She didn’t expect that the reward, enough to make a high-rank battle general serve for half a year, couldn’t attract the other party.
But she only looked on with displeasure. It wasn’t time to teach the other party a lesson yet. With the other party’s strength, she would inevitably participate in the competition for the freshman champion.
You must know that this year had produced a peerless genius who was about to become a high-rank battle general, and that person was her own brother! If it weren’t for being in a place like Dragon Country, he could have long become a Holy Son in a major power.
Is it too much to come to Magic City to be a freshman champion? At that time, let him teach Su Jiu a lesson and let her know what it means to have people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens.
“She actually refused such generous conditions. Is her family very well-off?”
“Probably? After all, looking at the inscriptions on that weapon, they are so complex. This is definitely not simple. I guess this weapon might be the descendant of a Battle King Level or even a Demigod Level monster.”
The young man standing on the pillar stared intently at Su Jiu’s scythe. Hearing the words of the passersby, he muttered to himself, “Demigod level descendant? Perhaps more… But in the fight just now, she should have had a significant advantage in terms of weaponry. With my intermediate Battle General level and the Demigod descendant weapon provided by my family, defeating her should not be a problem.”
Then, under everyone’s strange gazes, Su Jiu swung the scythe in her hand and slung it over her shoulder.
She turned and walked towards Bai Qianyu, who was watching with expectant eyes nearby. A sense of melancholy filled her heart. She hadn’t expected that in just three months, the latter could reach the Half-step Battle General level with a double-S bloodline.
You must know that Bai Qianyu didn’t have her own Elegy skill to take shortcuts, nor did she have the cheat-like opportunities of the male protagonist Bai Ming. To achieve this much in just three months through sheer hard work, the effort she put in must have been immense.
“These past few months, Little White must have had a very hard time… And she seems different from what was described in the novel – switching from a spear to a sword? Unknowingly, can I already change the timeline?”
After a sigh, she lightly tapped her feet and got off the stage, arriving in front of Bai Qianyu. Seeing the latter’s slightly reddened eyes, she pursed her lips, stood on tiptoe, and reached up for a long time to reach the top of her head. She stroked her lovely head and said softly,
“It’s only been a few months, and you seem to have grown a bit taller… You’re a big girl now, why are you crying?”
Looking up, Bai Qianyu’s delicate and exquisite little face was a bit puffy, but it soon deflated. Suddenly, a smile that made those around her feel captivated appeared on her little face, as gentle as a water lily.
“I missed you…”
The next moment, she did something that surprised everyone. She suddenly hugged Su Jiu into her arms, as if hugging a large stuffed doll, resting her chin on the top of the latter’s head. She sniffed the scent of the other party’s body without any pretense, as if venting the hardship of the past few months.
Looking at the two people who suddenly embraced, the entire square fell into silence. Faintly, it seemed like some elderly women were showing smiles, as if some people understood what was happening – the orange blossoms of their homeland had bloomed.
Beside her, Huang Fusheng looked on in surprise, then shook his head with a chuckle. He really didn’t understand young people today. After a while, he softly started to clap.
The students around them were not old-fashioned. Seeing someone lead the applause, they also started to clap. In an instant, the applause soared into the sky, as if signaling the reunion of the two.
With the other party’s arms tightly encircling her slender waist, Su Jiu’s face was buried in the other party’s chest. She smelled the familiar scent of gardenia. She never expected the other party to dare to announce their relationship in public.
You must know that such a forbidden love, like witches in the old era, would be viewed strangely by the world. She and Doubi Xi were different. The other party was a Vampire Duke, and she was also a half-vampire…
According to Doubi, they could have offspring through secret techniques, but Little White…
“Cough!”
After the embrace between the two lasted for nearly a minute, Huang Fusheng on the side seemed to sense thețiile at the teachers on the stage. He coughed lightly.
This is a place for assessment, not for you young people to show off your affection!
Hearing the cough, Bai Qianyu quickly let go of Su Jiu. Looking at the faint smile on the white-haired girl’s face, a blush suddenly “whooshed” up on her face. Looking at the onlookers’ curious gazes, she instantly felt an urge to find a hole to crawl into.
At this moment, the “brother-in-law” Bai Ming arrived fashionably late. A group of second-year students wearing black tight-fitting clothes followed him. They had a white droplet-shaped badge on their bodies, and the leading few actually had the level of Battle Generals!
Bai Ming glanced at Su Jiu on the side, feeling a little apprehensive, not knowing what was going on. Why did this person turn white-haired and carry a scythe? She looked so scary!
He heard that his sister was being bullied, so he abandoned his work and brought people here to fight – such fights were not uncommon in Magic Capital University. As long as there were teachers present, fighting was not a sinful act.
Su Jiu glanced at Bai Ming, then at the distinctive dragon-shaped buckle on his body. No wonder she felt he looked familiar before. It turned out this was the male protagonist from “$Global Upgrade$”!
“We meet again, Brother Bai.”
She nodded politely at the other party, and Su Jiu smiled, changing her address to the other party. Since his sister dared to confide in her so much, calling her brother was also reasonable.
Bai Ming nodded strangely, then looked at Hu Ling in the seats. She was talking on the phone, her smile becoming more and more brilliant, and her gaze also met his.
As their gazes met, it was as if several battles had erupted, filled with fighting spirit.
“Latest news, the board of directors has decided to hold the chief selection in three days. At that time, junior schoolmate Qian Yu will have to be careful… If she is easily defeated by my brother, does it prove that President Bai’s organization is not good?”
Finally, under her faint cold laughter, Bai Ming and his group’s expressions turned ugly. Her brother had been cultivated with various rare medicinal herbs since childhood, and his cultivation techniques and skills had never stopped. No one could shake him at all.
If his sister were easily defeated by that brother, the student union would probably publicize it extensively, and the organization of commoners completing missions he established would likely see its prestige among freshmen plummet.
The purpose of establishing this organization was to give students like him, who lacked resources, the opportunity to team up to complete bounty missions and reach higher levels.
There had been several conflicts of interest with certain members of the student union, which led to extremely bad relations between the two factions.
“Brother Bai, don’t worry too much. If you don’t mind, can you let me join?”
Seeing the worried look on Bai Ming’s face, Su Jiu sighed and said with a smile.
She knew the purpose of his organization, and she also knew that by the middle of the novel, this organization already had Battle King level combat power, and its members were spread all over the world and were extremely loyal.
Joining the guild was not a loss!
