National Call: Start the Undead War God 096

“Like neighboring Dongyun County and Yushu County, there are fifteen. If it is a directly administered district of Yunhai City, there are even more. Just Yunhai No.1 Middle School alone may have more than a dozen.”

"At that time, there may be hundreds or even thousands of students participating in the test."

Hearing this, Xu Shisan nodded silently.

The entire Tiannan Province consists of five cities, each of which administers several counties. For example, the Southwest City, where Xiangyun County is located, has nine counties.

The entire Tiannan Province has as many as forty or fifty county towns.

Even if each county only has ten guaranteed admission slots, that would still be four or five hundred people.

But in reality, it's far more than that.

“Each school has a limited number of admission slots, so this so-called guaranteed admission slot is not actually a guarantee; it just gives you an opportunity to try your luck.”

"Of course, even if you don't pass the tests of these universities, you can still take the college entrance examination. The real geniuses like those from Yunhai No.1 High School don't bother to take these entrance exams because they have higher goals."

"Thirteen, with your abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for you to get a guaranteed admission to a 985 university. But the principal hopes you can go even further. One of the three 985 universities recruiting students this year is Donghai University."

"As you probably know, Tunghai University's overall strength ranks among the top ten in the country. It is the best university this year, and the president hopes that you can pass Tunghai University's test."

"Don't worry, Principal, I will do my best." Xu Shisan nodded.

Holding the prize money from the competition, Xu Shisan left the school in great excitement.

Clutching the bank card in his hand, five hundred thousand yuan—this was incredibly important to him right now.

Back home, Han Qiuyun was lounging on the sofa watching cartoons, completely ignoring Xu Shisan, her "landlord."

Xu Shisan didn't bother with this lunatic. He went back to his room, locked the door, and then eagerly opened the small wooden box.

The wooden box has two layers. The top layer contains two pale yellow syringes, and the bottom layer contains two bright yellow pills.

These two pills faintly emitted an energy fluctuation that made people extremely excited just by smelling them.

Xu Shisan was familiar with these two D-grade beast pills, as he had recently consumed one.

Xu Shisan was quite interested in the two injections, though.

Based on market prices, these two Class D injections used for the fifth enhancement are worth a combined 64.

However, Xu Shisan did not intend to receive the injection.

Because Xu Shisan's enhanced abilities cannot be enhanced with injections, he clearly remembered the system's previous notification.

Xu Shisan's lightning ability needs to be enhanced with lightning-attribute elixirs or treasures.

Therefore, Xu Shisan plans to sell the two injections and convert them into cash.

Thinking of this, Xu Shisan did not hesitate and took the two injections and went out.

He went to the largest injection store in Xiangyun County and exchanged the two injections for 640,000 yuan in cash.

Injectable drugs are a hard currency, and they have very strict market prices, so no one dares to quote prices arbitrarily.

With the 640,000 yuan in cash, Xu Shisan first spent 100,000 yuan to buy 20 E-level ability pills, which were for his and his sister Lin Wanwan's cultivation.

After buying the Superpower Pill, Xu Shisan went to the largest spiritual medicine store in Xiangyun County to select lightning-attribute spiritual medicines or treasures.

Elixirs are a scarce resource for cultivation.

Elixirs can be used as raw materials for different injections. For example, strengthening injections are made from various elixirs, and the raw materials are also elixirs.

Elixirs can also be used for cultivation, and have the same effects as superpower pills.

Of course, no superhuman would use elixirs for cultivation, because their cost-effectiveness is simply too low.

First, the energy within the elixir is not purified, making it slow to absorb, far less efficient than power pills. Crucially, it's also more expensive. Second, elixirs are categorized by attribute; for example, lightning-type ability users can only use lightning-attribute elixirs for cultivation. In short, there are many restrictions.

Even a fool wouldn't buy elixirs for cultivation.

The greatest use of elixirs is to enhance and amplify supernatural abilities.

For example, Han Qiuyun's special ability "Mystic Ice Cocoon" could become even more powerful if she could consume a suitable ice-attribute spiritual herb.

Another example is Xing Zhenzhong's fire-type superpower "Booming Sky". If he can consume a fire-attribute spiritual herb, its attack power will also be amplified.

Of course, the premise is that the elixir taken by the superpowered person must not have properties that conflict with the properties of their superpower.

It is forbidden for fire-type ability users to take elixirs with ice-type properties.

In addition, spiritual herbs are also graded, and the higher the grade of the spiritual herb, the more expensive it is, comparable to beast cores of the same grade.

When Xu Shisan arrived at the largest elixir shop in Xiangyun County, a shop assistant immediately came to serve him.

"Hello sir, what would you like to order?"

Do you have any lightning-attribute spiritual herbs here?

"Sir, what grade of lightning-attribute elixir do you require?"

"E-grade or D-grade, could you take out all the medicinal herbs in your shop and let me see them? Don't worry, I have money."

Xu Shisan opened his backpack, revealing hundreds of thousands of yuan in cash inside.

Upon seeing this, the shop assistant immediately put on a smiling face.

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."

Soon, the shop assistant brought over a dozen sandalwood boxes.

"Sir, this medicinal herb is called Thundergrass. It grows on the edge of an extremely thunderous land, nourished by lightning all year round. It is grade E and costs eight thousand five."

The shop assistant opened a wooden box, inside which was a purple herb that was more than ten centimeters long.

Thunderspear is a common lightning-attribute herb that grows wherever lightning element is concentrated.

The shop assistant opened a second wooden box, inside which was a purple flower bud.

"This is a Thunder Bone Flower, also an E-grade, priced at eight thousand eight."

"This is Thunder-Seeking Grass, Grade E, and it also costs 8,800."

"This is Purple Electric Bamboo Flower, Grade D, priced at 188,000."

"This is a Purple Lightning Magnolia, Grade D, priced at 218,000."

The shop assistant introduced Xu Shisan to a total of thirteen kinds of lightning-attribute spiritual herbs, including ten E-grade herbs and three D-grade herbs.

Most E-grade spiritual herbs cost between eight thousand and ten thousand yuan, while those three D-grade spiritual herbs cost an average of two hundred thousand yuan each.

There are reasons why the prices of the two are so different.

Only those with superpowers at or above the D-rank can use inner cores to awaken their superpowers; elixirs below the D-rank cannot be used to amplify superpowers.

Most F-grade and E-grade elixirs can only be used to make injections, so their prices are incomparable to those of D-grade elixirs.

One D-grade medicinal herb can buy twenty E-grade medicinal herbs.

Xu Shisan is currently at the E-rank, and theoretically, enhancing his superpowers would require the use of E-rank elixirs.

So Xu Shisan waved his hand and said, "I'll take all ten of these Grade E spiritual herbs, and also wrap up this Purple Lightning Magnolia for me." (End of Chapter)
