"It's about getting along and the reward for the top three in the freshman assessment. What if we get a reward and how will we distribute it?"
"Regarding getting along, Shi Yu said, "I don't want to be bossed around; I need to be respected. If we don't get along well, I will choose to withdraw. This must be made clear to you in advance."
Knowing that Dai Huabin had a young master's temper and might be quite assertive, being his teammate would inevitably put pressure on Shi Yu. Shi Yu didn't want to be treated poorly and act like a subordinate.
"No problem," Dai Huabin agreed after a moment of thought.
"Next is the reward issue. I hope to use the simplest distribution method, which is equal distribution among the three of us."
"If it's not easy to divide equally into three parts, then compensation with other things will be needed to be as fair as possible," Shi Yu added.
"No problem," Dai Huabin nodded without hesitation.
"Then, a pleasant cooperation?" Shi Yu had no more issues.
"A pleasant cooperation," Dai Huabin finished speaking, lay down, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.
Shi Yu also lay down.
"With Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, getting a good result in this freshman assessment should be quite stable."
"At that time, not only will I not have to worry about failing the assessment, but I might also get assessment rewards."
"The first place is a Soul Bone. The rewards for second and third place probably won't be too bad. These things are worth a lot of golden soul coins. Even if I don't rely on Soul Guidance Devices to make money, I might be able to make a fortune."
Shi Yu calculated inwardly. Cooperating with Dai Huabin was also for the assessment rewards.
Indeed, it was difficult to find stronger teammates in the class than Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu.
Not only were they individually strong, but they also had a Soul Fusion Skill, making them excellent candidates.
Of course, the premise was that they could get along well. If they didn't get along, Shi Yu might have to choose teammates again.
But that was for later. Let's get along first and see.
The afternoon was also filled with classes, and it wasn't until the evening that there was some personal Time.
In the evening, Shi Yu went to the academic affairs office and registered for a basic elective course on Soul Guidance Devices.
Elective courses were mostly in the evening, avoiding the normal class hours in the morning and afternoon.
The next day, Shi Yu went to attend this elective course in the evening and felt it was quite good after one class.
He gained a basic understanding of Soul Guidance Devices, which made him even more interested in them.
"If only I could make a mecha, how cool would that be?" Shi Yu couldn't help but fantasize about piloting a mecha when he went to bed at night.
Few boys could refuse the idea of piloting a mecha; that was a romance unique to men.
Studying, working part-time, studying, and also spending Time cultivating Soul Power after returning in the evening.
Shi Yu lived a very busy life every day, with seventeen out of twenty-four hours being used. Only the six hours of sleep at night and the one hour lunch break at noon were for rest.
Such a busy life made Shi Yu complain a lot, grumbling about wanting to slack off.
However, his body was honest and kept persevering, not truly slacking off and giving up.
Such days passed by unknowingly for nearly three months. Shi Yu didn't know how they passed.
It felt as if nearly three months had passed in a blink of an eye, making him not pay much attention.
In another week, it would be the freshman assessment. Shi Yu's Soul Power also completed its breakthrough tonight, reaching the bottleneck of level twenty.
The energy fluctuations in the dormitory were obvious. Dai Huabin was awakened by the energy movement from Shi Yu's side, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
In less than three months, this person broke through from level sixteen to level twenty, increasing his Soul Power by four levels. This cultivation speed was so fast.
Increasing four levels of Soul Power in three months was something he had never achieved.
Generally speaking, being able to increase one level of Soul Power in two months was already a very talented cultivation speed.
The increase of four levels of Soul Power in these three months made him somewhat silent. It was impossible to say that he wasn't envious.
Shi Yu opened his eyes in surprise, finally breaking through.
His cultivation had been very smooth during this period, breaking through the bottlenecks of levels seventeen, eighteen, and nineteen smoothly without any obstacles.
However, it was very difficult to break through the bottleneck of level twenty. It took nearly a week to break through after reaching that critical point.
This made him a little anxious, but fortunately, he suddenly had a feeling tonight and tried his best to push through, finally succeeding in breaking the bottleneck and reaching level twenty.
"Congratulations," Dai Huabin said with a hint of sourness.
Shi Yu smiled and nodded. He had interacted with Dai Huabin quite a bit during this period. After forming a team, they would also train their chemistry every week. With more interaction, their relationship became much closer than at the beginning.
Getting along with Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu hadn't resulted in any unpleasantness, so they were still a team of three.
In a week, they would also team up to participate in the freshman assessment.
"You've also broken through now. You should take leave as soon as possible and get a Soul Ring. When you become a Soul Grandmaster, the strength of our team will also increase, making it more likely to get a good result in the freshman assessment," Dai Huabin suggested.
After witnessing Shi Yu's Space ability during this period, he paid more attention to this person and had the idea of recruiting him.
It was a pity that Shi Yu had some pride and was unwilling to become his subordinate, even if he offered very good conditions.
Unable to recruit him, he could only try to be friends. This could also be considered a form of recruitment.
"I'll apply tomorrow," Shi Yu naturally also wanted to get a Soul Ring as soon as possible.
"I wonder if I will travel through Time again after getting a Soul Ring this time?" Lying on the bed, Shi Yu couldn't help but think of this question.
Getting a Soul Ring this time could also verify many of his guesses.
After dawn, Shi Yu went to ask his homeroom Teacher, Shao Wentao, for leave.
Although their class monitor was Dai Huabin, who was also his roommate, it was better to personally tell the homeroom Teacher when asking for leave.
"Increased four levels of Soul Power in three months?" In the office, Shao Wentao was greatly surprised after learning about Shi Yu's situation.
He had paid some attention to Shi Yu, but not too much, so he hadn't constantly monitored his Soul Power changes.
Only now did he know that Shi Yu had already broken through to level twenty.
There were other Teachers in the office at this time, and they were all attracted and paid attention to Shi Yu.
"Did you take any heavenly materials and earthly treasures or some kind of pill?" the homeroom Teacher of Class Four couldn't help but ask.
Shi Yu shook his head: "I don't have money to buy any heavenly materials and earthly treasures or pills."
These Teachers exchanged glances, becoming even more surprised. It was a bit exaggerated to increase so much Soul Power without taking any medicine.
"I'll approve your leave, but how do you plan to get a Soul Ring?" Shao Wentao asked with a smile.
Naturally, he was happy for his student to increase their strength before the assessment came.
This way, the overall strength of his combination with Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu would increase even more, making it more likely to get a good result.
"Go to the Hunter Soul Department to get a loan and ask the Teacher for help in obtaining a Soul Ring," Shi Yu said somewhat awkwardly.
There was no other way. The money he earned working part-time in the cafeteria during this period was less than one golden soul coin, which was not enough to pay for obtaining a Soul Ring.
As for Soul Guidance Devices, he felt quite good about learning by himself, but because he didn't have money to buy materials, he couldn't try to make them. Currently, he only understood them theoretically.
He couldn't make money with Soul Guidance Devices for now.
Without money and wanting to obtain a Soul Ring, he could only get a loan. Although he was embarrassed, there was no other way. Who told him he was in such a difficult situation? When he had money in the future, he would repay several times over.
He told himself this in his heart, making himself feel a little more at ease.
He was just taking out a loan and would definitely repay it later, and he would also pay interest. It was definitely not freeloading.
