“Finally! It’s finally over !! ”
Back in his dormitory, the solitary Luo Miu could no longer restrain his joy.
He closed the newly installed door, set up the soundproofing, and let out a loud roar.
Who could possibly endure that!
“Turns out earning money from the mentally unstable makes one so miserable!”
“I hope next time…”
Thinking for a fleeting moment, Luo Miu looked at the credit balance in his account and shook his head resolutely.
Sylvia was indeed out of her mind.
But.
Luo Miu, oh Luo Miu, you still have many things to do in this life; how could you start having a problem with money and credits at such a young age!
Wasn’t it just being disgusted?!
Next time there’s a chance, he would still earn that mental damage compensation.
It was also at this time that the hour hand pointed exactly to six o’clock.
The brooch emitted a faint glow.
The announcement from the academy appeared before Luo Miu’s eyes in the form of arranged text.
“Attention all faculty and students: the first comprehensive practical assessment is officially released.”
“Assessment Project: Southern Valley Relic Scramble.”
“Enter the Southern Valley area in units of small teams. During the three-day assessment, search for and obtain ancient relics hidden within the nests of magical beasts.”
“Relics are divided into grades one through nine. The final ranking will be determined by the total number of relic grades obtained by the team.”
“First-place reward: 300 credits for each team member. Additional reward: one chance to draw a relic from the academy treasury.”
“During the assessment, all forms of confrontation are permitted. Losers may spend credits to re-enter the assessment.”
“Detailed maps and magical beast data have been sent to the terminals of each team captain.”
“Assessment start time: Three days from now.”
Finally, it’s here.
Relaxing his shoulders, Luo Miu felt that familiar tranquility again.
The tension that had lasted for several days turned into the most straightforward reward at this moment.
The Southern Valley Relic Scramble.
“The rules are the same, and the details are the same… Fortunately, the direction of the major events hasn’t deviated.”
The people in this world might all be crazy.
But the world’s “script” had not deviated.
That was enough.
After a brief review of the plot points that needed attention and the corresponding monster types, Luo Miu stood up and walked to the room opposite his, Kaffnir’s room.
After knocking and receiving permission, Luo Miu walked into the room.
Unsurprisingly, Kaffnir was studying the map on the terminal.
Seeing his serious expression, Luo Miu smiled helplessly: “The big event is here again; it really doesn’t let people rest.”
“Once a month, and the accumulation of credits is directly related to the content of the assessment.”
Karenina stood up straight:
“The academy is testing the students’ credit management abilities in the name of an assessment.”
“I think so too.”
While saying this, Luo Miu was perfectly clear in his heart about what was going on.
Isn’t this just paying to respawn?
Manufacturers rely on this kind of operation to make money; what’s so high-end about it?
“Regarding the distribution of the relics…” Luo Miu walked to the map and pointed his finger at several areas.
“The terrain of the Southern Valley is complex, with many magical beasts. Most teams will be slowed down by low-level magical beasts along the way, wasting time and energy.”
“Do you have a suitable breakthrough route?” Karenina didn’t think Luo Miu would visit without doing his homework.
“No.” Luo Miu answered quickly.
“I don’t believe you.” Karenina spoke bluntly.
“That’s why I say you’re my good buddy.” Luo Miu laughed: “There’s indeed no method for a breakthrough, but I have plenty of ways to take detours.”
“First, we need a Rank 3 【Stealth Mist】 card.”
Saying this, Luo Miu pointed to the map.
After observing for a moment, he pointed out a location next to the valley river channel:
“At this position, there are only Rank 1 to 2 magical beasts, and their sensing abilities aren’t that good.”
“As long as we can head north from here all the way…··· ”
“We can reach the Rank 3 magical beast area directly.”
Karenina also saw the deeper meaning behind the action:
“With our current lineup, we need more high-powered alchemy cards to ensure we can quickly deal with high-level nests as soon as possible.”
“The actions of other teams must also be taken into consideration.”
“What else can I say? Exactly right, Captain.”
Luo Miu couldn’t help but clap.
Who else but the Prince-bro could so easily understand the situation and analyze the requirements?
This was a true carry!
“Lightning, Fire, Light, Dark—we need to prepare at least one area-of-effect card for each of these attributes.”
“For Ice and Physical aspects, I’ll leave that to you and Ibuki Mio.”
“Also, cards for mana recovery—have Sylvia make them all this time.”
“Of course, she only needs to make those Rank 3 and above; I can handle the lower-grade cards.”
“Hmm… any opinions on the team’s division of labor?” Karenina nodded and raised another topic.
“The main responsibility for Annie and me is to use functional items for you and provide implementation support to avoid wasting mana.”
“A very reasonable arrangement, I agree.” Karenina agreed directly.
“Good, then on to the next topic: how to quickly grind mobs.”
Luo Miu’s finger tapped on the red dots representing nests on the map.
“A Rank 3 magical beast nest usually has one leader and two to three elite guards.”
“To avoid being bogged down, we must rely on area-of-effect magic to resolve the guards immediately and then quickly focus fire on the leader.”
“Along this path…”
The two discussed heatedly.
By the time Luo Miu finished explaining most of the key information he knew and returned to his dormitory to sleep, it was already late at night.
A night without dreams.
A morning where he set aside his worries and had no one to disturb him was truly refreshing.
Accompanied by Annie, Luo Miu walked into the classroom.
The first thing he saw was the trio of Kexia, who looked as if their souls had left their bodies.
“Unable to avoid the fate of expulsion…”
Looking at the girl with a face full of sorrow, Luo Miu really wanted to laugh.
Acting as a middleman without the IQ for it…
To say she was diligent, she was indeed diligent; the three of them had cleared the hunting missions for the entire school year and monopolized a channel for obtaining Silver Bell Marrow Fluid.
Perhaps this was the so-called case where a genius’s myriad calculations are inferior to a fool’s sudden inspiration.
God knows how Kexia thought of reinvesting almost all of her rewards back into the secondary market!
“In trouble again? “
Luo Miu approached with a smile.
With the exam approaching, he wouldn’t pass up an opportunity to win others over.
Moreover —
The trio was currently in a financial crisis, so there was room to negotiate the price.
“Big brother… you have such a cruel heart…”
“Hey, hey, hey, it wasn’t me who cheated you. Who knew that merchant caravan would suddenly return?”
Luo Miu wouldn’t take the blame for manipulating the merchant caravan.
Ibuki Mio and Kaffnir did that; what did it have to do with the Great Philanthropist Luo?
“You don’t think I didn’t lose anything, do you?”
“I’ve supported so many Talent Plans, and I don’t know when I’ll be able to break even!”
Hearing this, the resentment in Kexia’s heart dissipated quite a bit:
“That’s true… how could anyone earn credits under those circumstances.”
“So, I’ve brought you some good news.”
Luo Miu’s tone was mysterious:
“A piece of good news that can allow you to make a comeback and not fear being eliminated in this exam.”
“Sixty credits.”
