A few sparrows were perched on a tree in the academy. A nimble kitten pounced on them, but missed and fell to the ground. Looking up and seeing someone in front of it, it quickly licked its fur to cover its embarrassment.

Chen Shi sat on a stone stool to the side. Smoker Wang Xueyou and several smoking team members were chatting across from him. Xue Xin sat next to him. He looked down at the messages that Long Xiangyun and Lin Wuzhan had handed him.

These two are now the captains of the second and third teams. They have already discussed the combination attack techniques and equipment with their team members.

The entire Thunder team focuses on pure field destruction output.

Each person definitely needs a Thunder Battle Suit of Martial Saint level.

The battle suit of a Martial Arts Master is very important. The suit can store lightning element, which is itself a pool of psychic power and can also provide damage increase effect, but there are also different qualities.

The divine-grade battle suit can directly store the equivalent of a Martial Saint at the peak of ultimate telekinetic talent; anything higher would be beyond their control.

Each piece is worth around 700 million in market value; five pieces would be worth 35 billion.

Then there's the element amplifier. A four-socket ring is enough; there's no need for a five-socket one. This thing isn't expensive, but the skill required for Dragon Elephant Rhyme is extremely expensive.

The first one is Thunder Element Penetration.

Effect: When used on a teammate, it connects the elemental powers of the two, allowing the user to control the other's elements without being harmed by the teammate.

Skill beads also come in different levels; the higher the quality, the better the effect and the lower the psychic energy consumption.

Chen Shi directly looked at the divine-grade items, which consumed very little mental energy. Each one cost 1.2 million, and this was something that could be used by a martial god.

The second one is the Tyrant Thunder Halberd.

The most powerful lightning-based long-range single-target killing skill, a divine-grade version costs 3 million.

The third is the Thunder Domain.

A lightning-type skill with a domain attribute, valued at 1.3 million (divine grade).

After activating elemental connection, the five of them unleashed a lightning domain, a sea of ​​lightning large enough to cover an area of ​​several thousand meters in radius.

Fourth, the Divine Thunder Annihilation Technique.

The highest-damage lightning-inflicted martial art, capable of multi-person combos, is described in just four words: "Destroy everything."

A single piece of this divine-grade product is worth 5 million.

The total is 10.5 billion, and five parts would be 52.5 billion.

Adding Lei Yi's 35 billion, the total is 87 billion.

Chen Shi had only one thought in his mind: this was blatant robbery!

Most importantly, these divine skills are not even this expensive to learn directly from the Enlightenment Manual.

However, the Element Amplifier's skill is instantaneous and more powerful than anything you could train yourself.

Seeing Chen Shi's furrowed brows, Long Xiangyun said, "If all else fails, let's buy the Enlightenment Manual and practice it ourselves."

But how could one possibly master all four skills in just one year?

Besides, they haven't even built a palace yet.

Lu Ming, standing to the side, also said, "I also feel that it's better for me to practice on my own, so I won't buy the beads."

"The beads might be stolen, and if they are stolen, hundreds of millions will be gone. Who can bear that?"

Long Xiangyun chimed in, saying, "With the help of the cultivation palace, the five of us should be able to reach a decent level of proficiency after a year of normal training."

Chen Shi suddenly asked, "What if we add the Dream Painting Scroll as well?"

"How many reels do you need to practice until you reach a certain level of proficiency before the final match of the university league?"

Long Xiangyun: "I might need more than twenty, for seven days."

Others also gave their answers. There are less than 300 days from now until the finals, plus another 30 or 40 days, plus about 200 days more. With a year and a half of relentless practice, there should be a reason for it.

Chen Shi nodded and said, "Okay, then let's buy the skill enlightenment manual."

Then he looked at Lin Wuzhan. The equipment they wanted was also expensive. A divine-grade battle armor and a divine-grade weapon would cost about 15 billion per person, and 75 billion for the five of them.

Lin Wuzhan said, "We can wait on the armor, but we need to get the hang of the weapons first."

Chen Shi nodded emphatically and said, "Okay, then you can choose them online and send them to me."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and in the end, Chen Shi was left to figure out the money himself.

They signed the contract that Sun Yunling mentioned earlier, and not 50%, but 70%, since Chen Shi was going to provide them with the best Martial Saint God-grade equipment.

At this moment, a dozen or so people were looking at Chen Shi.

He stood alone under a tree in the distance, looking down at Wu Wan, his face filled with worry.

Whether it's Long Xiangyun or Lin Wuzhan, they both know very well what billions really mean.

Even if you asked Sun Yunling now, she wouldn't be able to get it out.

Furthermore, top-tier equipment can only be purchased through special channels; it cannot be bought in the Xuexing Mall, but only at auction.

That's not difficult at all. With Dean Zhou of Tianxia Academy personally involved, he'll definitely be able to buy it.

The problem still boils down to one word—money.

Money!

Where can we raise billions?

Chen Shi still owes Zhang Xuexin 400 million yuan, and there are so many god-level resources at the auction in two days, plus a foundation to support them.

The huge sums of money turned a once valiant young man into a man filled with sorrow.

However, he bears the responsibility of revitalizing Tianxia Academy, and Tianxia Academy must win first place in this year's league.

These preparations are essential!

Because the Martial Saint Academy also has this configuration, and even the all-female team of the Heroine Academy is dressed in divine attire.

The woman in red is rich, and so is Long Yichuan.

The Tianxia Academy has no money.

He, Chen Shi, also had no money.

Now all our hopes rest on the card left by our parents.

Today, Chen Shi's blood energy value is just over 4900.

He was operating the martial wrist, first binding it to the God of War system, then quickly entering the account numbers of his parents' military merit cards, and then remotely verifying his identity to confirm that he was the deceased's child.

The final step is to simply enter your balance on the mini-program, and the amount in your card will be displayed directly.

After Chen Shi typed in those two words, he waited for about seven or eight seconds.

A message popped up.

Balance: 7655400000.

76 billion!

This number made Chen Shi's expression change.

He should have been excited and joyful, but the strongest emotion that surged through his heart at this moment was sadness.

This is such a huge number; it represents the life's work of my biological parents.

They served as the director and deputy director of Institute Zero for over two hundred years in that small laboratory.

I actually asked Wu Su, the current director, about how much money he might have.

Wu Su did the math and realized that it should be around seven or eight hundred million, no more than that. Any more than that would mean they had made a huge profit before they left.

But this wasn't because they spent money recklessly. On the contrary, they lived frugally and focused solely on their research. The mother never wore any luxury items in her life, always dressed in white, wore old glasses that hadn't been changed in over a century, and ate only cafeteria food.

Chen Shi asked, "Then why is there so little money?"

Wu Su replied that because the scientists at Research Institute Zero don't need money and have no concept of money, they can simply report any needs to the arsenal, so they only have a basic salary that isn't very high.

So if the final figure exceeds seven or eight hundred million, something must have been done in the end.

As the years have passed, Chen Shi has grown up and can now imagine the image of his parents from people's descriptions.

My father was a strict but occasionally humorous man.

My mother is said to be naturally naive, but she has maintained a youthful temperament and is extremely intelligent despite living for more than two hundred years.

They were very honest and upright. Over the years, the Long family tried to bribe them countless times, but they never accepted it and showed great resistance to it.

Where did these six or seven billion come from?

Wu Su said that in the last few years, which was the most dangerous time for you, the two of them got very close to Long Tai.

Therefore, it is reasonable to deduce that the parents eventually accepted the bribe from the Long family.

My parents, who were honest and upright all their lives, abandoned their principles for my sake and even lost their lives.

In that final moment, they must have been really looking forward to seeing the money in their accounts when they turned eighteen.

The child will be very happy, because the simple couple has never seen so much money in their lives. They think that such a large sum of money will definitely help the child overcome all difficulties.

Thinking about this, Chen Shi couldn't help but feel sad.
