Chapter 131 - Preparing to Level Up
Chapter 131: Preparing to Level Up
“56 thousand merit points?”
Ye Xuan looked at Lin Zhibai and the others and said, “Zhibai, Zhu Wen, I will take 50 thousand, and the nine of you can split the remaining 6,000, is that alright?”
They had to make things clear even though they were close friends.
Even though leaving 6,000 out of 56,000 merit points for Lin Zhibai and the others did not seem very generous.
But almost all the bounty they had found from their trip to the secret realm had been found using his Tidal Treasure Snail.
Furthermore, he had been the one to lead the others away from the various dangers.
Lin Zhibai and the others had only contributed slightly more initially when they had encountered the Ancient Tomb Tree Demon.
After that, the other treasures had nothing to do with Lin Zhibai and the others.
“Of course, we even think that 6,000 points are too much.”
Lin Zhibai, Zhu Wen, and the others smile.
Actually, even after they split the 6,000 points, it would still be quite a lot of merit points to them.
Especially considering that they had only spent a few hours on this trip.
As for Ye Xuan, the biggest benefit of all this compared to the others was that he could let his beast level up.
But if he wanted to let his beast level up, he had to provide many resources.
This was why he had to spend a lot.
Otherwise, he could be like the other students and provide his beasts with suitable evolutionary resources and speed up their leveling-up rate.
Given his current abilities, he did not have to worry about the lack of evolutionary resources.
Lin Zhibai, Zhu Wen, and the others discussed among themselves to determine who should get how many merit points.
They did not argue much about the allocation of points.
Everyone would get a certain number of points based on how hard they worked in the secret realm this time.
Otherwise, if they fought to get more points, who would want to team up with them in the future?
“Sir, we have finished our discussions. Please give us our merit points.”
After everyone had finished discussing, Ye Xuan turned to look at the middle-aged teacher.
“Alright, then I shall give you all your merit points now.”
The middle-aged teacher nodded.
Anyway, he was just in charge of the purchase. He did not care who he transferred the merit points to ultimately.
Then, he started prodding at their watches.
He sent the merit points that Ye Xuan and the others had agreed upon to each of them.
“250,000 merit points!”
After receiving the merit points, Ye Xuan looked at his personal information.
He immediately saw that the 50,000 points that he had received earlier had turned into 250,000 points instantly. It had multiplied by five times.
250,000 merit points. How many evolutionary resources could he buy with that?
At that moment, Ye Xuan felt as if he had received a windfall.
He truly had struck it rich.
One had to know that an ordinary platinum-level evolutionary resource was just about 10,000 merit points.
Some were worth even fewer points.
Of course, merit points could not buy everything.
There were some resources that you could exchange with merit points.
But there were also some resources that you could not exchange for, even with merit points.
For example, the Thunder Cloud of Punishment, Transformed Grass, and the Thousand-Year-Old Platinum Battle Soul Pearl. These were all items that could not be exchanged for merit points.
Otherwise, Lin Shiru would not have been put in such a tough spot back then.
Such evolutionary resources had to be bartered for with other evolutionary resources or found by oneself.
Also, according to the contract, Ye Xuan’s use of merit points would be monitored closely.
For example, he could only split off 6000 merit points earlier and have the middle-aged professor give them to Lin Zhibai and the others.
However, he could not get the middle-aged professor to send the 6000 points to him first, so it could be multiplied to 30,000 points before he transferred them to Lin Zhibai and the others.
He also could not resell his points for a profit either.
“Ye Xuan, you have received so many merit points. What are your plans next?”
Ren Ya asked after the middle-aged professor transferred the merit points to everyone.
“I need to buy some evolutionary resources for my beasts to speed up their leveling up.
Ye Xuan answered.
While in the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm, Lil Wan had already expressed her dissatisfaction.
Furthermore, Ye Xuan could also sense the envy and anxiety that the Tyrannosaurus felt every time the other beasts leveled up or gained stars.
“Is it for your Tyrannosaurus and that elf?”
Ren Ya asked.
She was very close to Lin Shiru.
And Lin Shiru had told her some things about Ye Xuan.
Even though she had not said anything too important, Ren Ya still had an idea of what Ye Xuan was up to.
As such, she thought about it and asked, “How about this. Why don’t you save my contact, and I will get someone to send you evolutionary resources that can help your beasts to level up more quickly. You have to transfer your merit points to me then.”
“Thank you, Professor Ren.”
Ye Xuan broke out into a smile when he heard that.
Ren Ya was a professor at Jiangzhou University. She was very experienced and being able to get her help was a perfect thing.
“You are welcome. You can let me know what kind of evolutionary resources you need for your beasts.”
Ren Ya shook her head and then bade the middle-aged professor in the basement hall farewell. Then, she led everyone out of the building. She asked Ye Xuan, “Do you want evolutionary resources that can help them to level up as soon as possible, or would you like something cheaper?”
“The one that can help them level up as soon as possible!”
Ye Xuan did not hesitate at all when he said that.
If he did not find a way to speed up the Tyrannosaurus’s and Lil Watkins ‘ leveling up, they would not keep up with his speed of cultivation.
“Alright, I have noted that down.”
Ren Ya nodded.
“Oh, right. Professor.”
Ye Xuan had a sudden epiphany. He thought of how the Thundercloud Lightning Wings was just at the lower Bronze level, even though it had gotten much more powerful after it had leveled up and risen in ranks.
He also had to prepare evolutionary materials for it as well.
As such, he said, “I also need some evolutionary materials that can help to speed up the rate of cultivation for thunder element beasts. The kind that is purely thunder element.”
“That’s also not a problem.”
Ren Ya nodded and asked, “Do you have any other requests?”
“I don’t have any other for now.”
Ye Xuan shook his head and said.
“Ye Xuan, we are going to walk around the Million Treasure Building after this and pick some evolutionary resources to speed up our beasts’ cultivation. We won’t be leaving right now. Would you like to join us?”
Lin Zhibai and the others turned to ask Ye Xuan as they arrived at the hall on the Million Treasure Building’s first floor.
“I shan’t go with you all.”
Ye Xuan declined. “I have a few friends who had planned to go through the Nova Hall. I have to go and ask them how it went.”
“Aright then, see you later.”
Ye Xuan bade Lin Zhibai and the others farewell before leaving the Million Treasure Building with Ren Ya.
However, Ren Ya left him after they exited from the Million Treasure Building.
Now that something odd had happened in the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm, she had to report it to the school.
And after Ren Ya left, Ye Xuan walked to the place where he was staying. While he walked, he pulled out his phone and called Qi Liangcai.
“Hello, Ye Xuan?”
Moments later, Qi Liangcai picked up the call. He said with a confused expression, “Didn’t you say you were going to the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm? You didn’t get to go?”
“I have already been to the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm. But an accident happened, so I came back early.”
Ye Xuan said into the phone, “Well, did you and Wei Shan and the others make it through the Nova Hall successfully?”
“Do you even have to ask?”
Qi Liangcai said, raising his voice slightly, “With me around, we definitely would succeed.”
“Furthermore, we have already made plans with the other students on the Rising Star List. We will be having a friendly competition at the amphitheater in school tomorrow.
“Tomorrow?”
Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up. “Alright, then I will go and cheer you on tomorrow.”
He wanted to see how powerful the students on the Rising Star List were.
How much stronger exactly were they compared to him.
“No problem, I will make sure you learn lots tomorrow.”
Qi Liangcai laughed. Then, he thought of something and asked, “Well, Ye Xuan, are you interested in trying out the Nova Hall and see how difficult it is?”
“Of course I am.”
Ye Xuan said with certainty. “But I can’t go today. I probably will in a few days. I will go and try out the Nova Hall in a few days and try to get on the Rising Star List like you.”
“You have guts!”
Qi Liangcai said loudly.
However, he suddenly paused and said, “Hang on, Ye Xuan, what did you say just now?”
“I said that I would try the Nova Hall in a few days and then try my skills on a few students on the Rising Star List.”
“Oh, oh.”
Qi Liangcai nodded on the other end of the phone.
However, he was wondering to himself if he was hallucinating.
What did Ye Xuan say just now?
He must be joking.
It was not that he was looking down on Ye Xuan.
But look at the power difference between the two of them.
Ye Xuan was just in the mid-Dark Iron level.
He dared to try to get on the Rising Star List. Did he get his soul ripped from him in the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm and had lost his wits?
Clatter!
After that, Qi Liangcai exchanged a few more words with Ye Xuan before he hung up distractedly.
“Say, what do you think Ye Xuan meant? Was he joking around with me?”
After hanging up, Qi Liangcai looked at Wei Shan and Lv Jing.
“Maybe not. Perhaps his cultivation caught up after his trip to the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm?”
Lv Jing laughed.
Of course, she shared the same thoughts as Qi Liangcai.
That Ye Xuan was joking around with Qi Liangcai earlier.
Otherwise, given Ye Xuan’s mid-Dark Iron level cultivation, it was just a pipe dream for him to make it onto the Rising Star List was a peak bronze level beast trainer.
…
“Mom, Dad, I am home.”
Ye Xuan got Lil Wan to take him home shortly after talking to Qi Liangcai on the phone.
After he got home, he saw Ye Guotao and Su Yunmeng watching the television.
The two of them had told him last night that their stall on the snack street was not yet ready.
They would only be able to open their stall a few days later.
“Oh, didn’t you say that you wouldn’t be home for a few days?”
Ye Guotao and Su Yunmeng were surprised to see Ye Xuan.
They did not know why Ye Xuan was home so early.
“Something unexpected happened, so I came back early.”
Ye Xuan said with a smile.
“Since you are home, go back to your room. Don’t disturb your mom and me from watching TV.”
Ye Jianguo waved his hand and looked at Ye Xuan with a look of disdain.
He did not ask about the unexpected incident that Ye Xuan had mentioned.
He did not understand the beast-taming world.
Furthermore, when he saw Ye Xuan’s expression, he knew nothing bad had happened on Ye Xuan’s trip.
Ye Xuan was struck speechless when he heard that.
However, that man was his dad. What could he do?
Ye Xuan went to bed after that.
He just had to wait for the Tidal Treasure Snail to enter level up to the Bronze level the next day.
