The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

Hongyuan patted the shell of the Tongxuan Turtle: "But you're not in good shape today, there's still blood on your forehead. Let's set a time, three days from now, after you've recovered, I'll have it release that glowing word for you again."

"As for money, precious metals, and miraculous healing medicines, those are all external things, no need for them."

Su Yuehe took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from her chin. She understood what Hong Yuan meant and readily agreed, "Okay, then three days later."

The deal was finalized right under everyone's noses.

Hong Yuan's words reached the ears of everyone present.

I don't want money, precious metals, or miracle cures; I simply want to help others.

These words sound straightforward, but given Hong Yuan's gleaming eyes and fidgeting fingers, only a fool would believe them.

An Changqing sighed, silently took out his phone, and opened Green Bubble.

"Red Kite, please send me a list of your needs and I will help you collect them."

Hongyuan cleared her throat and pulled out a crumpled little notebook.

"Actually, it's not much. My axe is too worn out; I need twenty catties of deep-sea black gold, fifty thundercloud crystal cores, and..."

She looked up at the sky and counted on her fingers: "Give me ten kilograms of high-strength titanium alloy, plus two hundred vials of recovery potion to drink as my daily beverage."

The freshmen around them, who were listening intently, gasped in shock.

Is this what you call material possessions? Is this what you call free money? This is even more ruthless than kidnapping someone and demanding a ransom.

Twenty kilograms of deep-sea black gold—that's a strategically rare resource, priceless on the black market.

Yin Chen simply turned her head away, as if she didn't recognize her.

Although it certainly wasn't an exorbitant demand from these two, Hong Yuan's blatant extortion was incredibly shameful, and as Hong Yuan's classmate, he felt a little embarrassed.

He's transferring schools! He can't stay at this academy in Shanghai any longer!

An Changqing stared at the list, his finger hovering over the communicator screen.

Even with his wealth, buying these things would be a huge financial burden, and most importantly, they would be very difficult to collect.

Su Yuehe didn't even blink.

"Okay, these materials will be piled up in your dorm room tomorrow afternoon."

She didn't hesitate; this deal was a sure thing for her, as the ancient demon script was worth far more than a few pieces of metal.

Things that are expensive but unavailable are actually the easiest for her to obtain; if she wants them, plenty of people will give them to her willingly.

Hong Yuan grinned, her smile so wide it almost disappeared her eyes, and generously held the Tongxuan Turtle above her head and shook it.

"A pleasure doing business with you, esteemed customer!"

The Tongxuan Turtle, treated as a cash cow, lay upside down, its beady eyes filled with despair.

Standing on the high platform, Instructor Black Crow picked up a megaphone and roared, "Have you seen enough?! Those who are injured, get to the school clinic! Those who aren't going to change their gear, go back to your dorms! Those who want to change their gear, go to the logistics department. Dismissed immediately!"

The crowds and animals dispersed.

Chen Guan and the other two turned and walked towards the logistics department. They were going to collect their rewards, and it was time to cash out all the points they had accumulated.

Along the way, Hongyuan hummed an off-key song and wore the Tongxuan Turtle on her head like a hat.

"Chen Guan, Yin Chen, this time we've truly struck it rich."

Hongyuan patted her chest and said, "With the sponsorship of that rich girl Su Yuehe, my broken axe can finally be upgraded."

Chen Guan didn't reply; he stared at the constantly fluctuating data on his retina.

Pushing open the door to the logistics department, the director almost dropped the thermos he was holding when he saw the three of them walk in.

"Three students...this is your points redemption list."

The director took a tablet computer out of the drawer and handed it to Yin Chen, who was at the front: "You can pick whatever you want from this catalog. Don't be shy, just don't take away all the strategic materials you have at the bottom."

Yin Chen took the tablet and quickly swiped his long fingers across the screen.

"I want one hundred of these Frost Crystals and one Polar Storm Roller."

He was rich, with mountains of precious medicinal herbs piled up in the Yin family's warehouses, but that was all he had. Some things money alone wasn't enough; you needed power.

Hongyuan snatched the tablet and specifically picked out the heavy, large, high-density metal dots.

Chen Guan stepped forward. He didn't need regular resources, nor did he need to upgrade his scythe again. He only needed something that could nourish his body.

"This one." After glancing at it briefly, Chen Guan tapped an icon in the corner of the screen.

The logistics director leaned closer to the screen and saw clearly the icon that Chen Guan had selected.

His face, which had been beaming with joy, fell. He pushed up his reading glasses and checked the information on the screen again and again.

It was a black crystal.

"Chen, are you sure you want this?" The director typed on the keyboard, bringing up the detailed file of the item.

"This thing is called Dry Source Stone. It was dug out from a high-level relic three years ago. It is extremely hard and cannot be cut even by a high-energy laser cutter. It does not fluctuate at all and cannot be channeled with spiritual energy. It takes up space in the warehouse. The price is set at this price purely because it comes from a high-level relic and is very hard, but in reality it is just a piece of useless stone that cannot be cut."

Hongyuan peeked at the screen.

She placed the tablet on the table: "Why don't you go back and use a broken rock to crack walnuts?"

Yin Chen didn't say much. History has proven that Chen Guan always had his reasons for doing things.

Chen Guan withdrew his hand.

"That's it." His answer was extremely brief.

Seeing Chen Guan's resolute attitude, the director shook his head.

"Alright, you're number one, so you call the shots." The director typed a few words on the keyboard and printed out a pickup slip: "Go to the warehouse to pick up the goods. Let me make this clear: once pickup is confirmed, there will be no returns or exchanges."

The three of them received their respective supplies from the logistics department's warehouse.

Chen Guan held a palm-sized lead box in his hand, inside which was the black crystal known as the Dry Source Stone.

He didn't just change it randomly; he just suddenly had a connection.

The Kuyuan Stone comes from the old site of Heifeng, and it belongs to the same period and the same civilization as the Heifeng Ruins that Chen Guan once visited.

When he was in the Black Wind Ruins, he felt that the Black Wind there did not seem to reject him, and had an instinctive affinity for his gray energy.

Therefore, Chen Guan speculated that the power within him might be related to the Black Wind Ruins.

Now, this withered source stone from the Black Wind Ruins shows no reaction to ordinary spiritual power. Could it be related to its ash energy?

After all, his gray energy is neither pure spiritual power nor pure mental power.

Even if that's not the case, and the final conclusion is that the Dry Source Stone really can only be used to crack walnuts, then it doesn't matter, since there really isn't anything he needs in the warehouse.

Rather than exchanging it for something that can be bought with ordinary gold and silver, it's better to take this treasured stone.

If his guess is correct, he'll make a fortune.

With this thought in mind, Chen Guan pushed open the door to his single dormitory room.

The cheetah followed us in, swishing its tail, and obediently lay down next to the doormat, resting its massive head on its front paws.

As a fifth-tier demon beast, its perception far surpasses that of ordinary people. At this moment, in this room, it didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

There was an aura in this room that made it submit.

It looks like something terrifying has been here.
