Chapter 40. Public Resource Rewards Distributed!
If Mingzhu Academy only admits students like this, then Dean Xiao would rather donate the resources to those more ambitious mages who did not get into the academy. That way, the resources will be used more effectively, and those people will at least understand that the resources are hard-won!
"Dean Xiao, what you said makes a lot of sense, but have you considered… students like us, who come from poor backgrounds and have always relied on the school's resources to sustain our cultivation, are competing with those who have abundant resources and only need to put in less than a third of the effort we do to get into Pearl Academy! A little bit of resource poison is very important to people like us." At this moment, a boy with a face full of stubbornness and arrogance stood up and said loudly to Dean Xiao.
Dean Xiao took off his heavy glasses and glanced at the student from a distance.
Faced with this question, Dean Xiao remained calm and said, "Because this is a school, you can ask such questions. In society, this question would be very naive. Do you think Mo Fan was born with better resources than you, that it's normal for him to reach the intermediate level earlier than you because he comes from a wealthy family?"
"Yes!" the proud student replied.
"Alright, I didn't want to bring this up before, but since you're questioning me on behalf of the vast majority of ordinary families of magicians, then I'll tell you... This utterly despicable student who's taking away your resources comes from Bo City." Dean Xiao's words were tinged with anger.
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. More than a year ago, news reports showed Bocheng, where the whole country was in mourning.
That disaster has not been forgotten to this day; it is said that the actual death toll has reached as high as 100,000.
Blood-red alert, rivers of blood flowing.
"His family background is very ordinary, even worse than most of yours. I think I don't need to say anything more," Dean Xiao sighed in conclusion.
Everyone fell silent.
The proud student looked at Mo Fan in the center of the arena with some disbelief.
How could someone without a background possibly cultivate to the intermediate level at this age, especially at the intermediate level of two elements, and even possess such a powerful dimensional summon beast?
Mu Nujiao, who had just left, was completely stunned.
She never expected that Mo Fan was actually a grassroots student from an ordinary family in Bocheng!
but.
How could he be so strong?!
However, this explanation seemed to make sense to her; she wondered why Mo Fan hadn't used any magical artifacts during the bombardment by a hundred people.
Although Mo Fan offended all the freshmen today, with his performance, wouldn't all those infatuated girls be rushing to throw themselves at him?
Even the greatest villain was just a freshman.
Now it's all good.
Let people know that I'm just a damn poor bastard!
The priority mating right I just acquired... is gone!
Although he is very strong right now, many people are very confused about the future.
Mo Fan said helplessly, "Dean Xiao, how could you just reveal my family's wealth like that? How am I supposed to pick up girls now?"
"Haha, I was just indignant. I finally found a good example to scold the students." Dean Xiao was also magnanimous and spoke his mind.
After the competition ended, Mo Fan was incredibly happy. Although it was just public resources and not the core resources that the school provided to the students, the sheer number of them was still amazing!
The remaining six members of the Summoning System already regarded Mo Fan as a god. They were also quite sensible, only taking what was originally theirs, and keeping everything that Mo Fan had taken.
Even if Jiang Yunming didn't mean it that way, Mo Fan had no reason to share the resources with the six of them. He risked everything and became the enemy of the whole school to get them, so what did it have to do with the few of them?
Furthermore, how could Mo Fan, who openly became the opposite of all the freshmen right after the start of the semester, possibly be a kind person?
After experiencing the upheaval of the freshman competition, Mo Fan found that his life had clearly changed.
There are now only three people left in his dormitory: one is a guy named Zhang Pinggu, and the other is Zhao Manyan.
Zhang Pinggu idolized Mo Fan to the point of worship, almost becoming Mo Fan's follower. But Mo Fan didn't respond to him at all.
Zhao Manyan reacted relatively normally, acting as usual. Time passed quickly, and more than a month went by.
The news about the freshman competition was gradually replaced by some new information. Mo Fan occasionally heard Zhang Pinggu chattering to himself before going to sleep, saying that several people with considerable strength had appeared. It was said that one of them had entered the school relatively late and his combat power was likely even higher than Mo Fan's.
There was no way around it; Mo Fan was ultimately the public enemy of all the freshmen. Everyone knew he was strong, but no one wanted to admit that he was truly invincible among all the freshmen. Naturally, they would elevate someone who displayed similar strength and was more approachable to the position of the strongest, since they had never actually fought him head-on.
After that, the Mu Nujiao family donated resources to the school for new students.
Mo Fan was aware of these things, so he didn't bother to find out more.
After this incident, Dean Xiao brought Mo Fan good news early in the morning, asking Mo Fan to accompany him to receive the generous rewards from the freshman competition.
Upon arriving at the library, which looked like a huge, thick book model, Mo Fan followed Dean Xiao directly to the top floor.
The top-floor library is not open to students. Dean Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze passing through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, taking in the entire Qing Campus of Mingzhu University.
"Dean Xiao."
Dean Xiao turned around, a gentle smile on his face.
"Mo Fan, today is the day to give you the new student resource reward," Dean Xiao said.
Mo Fan nodded his head rapidly.
With Stardust Experience Pills available in the shop, and Nebula Experience Pills that he couldn't afford to buy, Mo Fan neither cared for nor needed ordinary resources.
So he wasn't short of money. But he knew that Pearl Academy had a three-step tower.
Not to mention the special assistance that mid-level mages can receive, even high-level mages can achieve twice the results with half the effort by cultivating inside compared to outside.
Therefore, this is what Mo Fan has been eagerly anticipating. Now that he possesses six magic systems, this three-step tower has undoubtedly become far more important!
"Public resources are divided into countless parts for students in each department. We will consider these resources as the resources you can use. Of course, the exchange between different resources cannot be completely equivalent, so it can only be converted into what you need," Dean Xiao said.
"I'll follow Dean Xiao's arrangements," Mo Fan said.
He still had great faith in Dean Xiao.
To put it bluntly, 'Mo Fan' may have made contributions here and done his work there, but in the end, he only gained more benefits from the school.
Elsewhere, it just brings fame. It's somewhat useful, but completely impractical.
"I know you don't have any good magical tools. Here are a few higher-grade magical tools suitable for mid-level mages in combat. Choose one…" Dean Xiao flicked his sleeve and, as if by magic, presented several miniature versions of magical tools on the conference table, allowing Mo Fan to choose for himself.
Mo Fan looked at them and finally chose the Blood Beast Boots.
As for defensive magical items, we can buy them later.
He also needed armor and magical artifacts, but the school's current armor and magical artifacts were only used to defend against attacks from servant demons and were completely ineffective.
Furthermore, his own basic magical tools are now practically obsolete.
