Last Totem Novel - Chapter 117

Chapter 117 Reception
Since ancient times, the Western Continent has been praised as the “darling of the gods.” There were four distinct seasons, the land was flat and fertile, and there had never been a large-scale war.

Every spring, standing on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, the ice and snow melted, the stream trickling, the young grass timidly poked out its head, and the earth was full of vitality.

In the summer, walking through the forest, the sun shone through the lush leaves on the slightly wet soil. The air was filled with the fragrance of nature, making people feel comfortable. Here, clear streams could be seen everywhere. If you were tired of walking, you could still sit on a rock and stare at the trickling stream in a daze.

When autumn arrived, the golden wheat field looked endless from high up in the sky. Under the setting sun, when a gentle breeze blew past, the wheat straw would sway neatly like a golden ocean.

As winter approached, sitting in the room with the heating turned on, wearing short-sleeved clothes, one could deeply understand that the winter here was actually not cold.

This was the Western Continent, the beloved son of the gods.

It was the end of August, the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the harvest season.

However, for most of the students in Silver City, this was a regrettable period of time. Because the summer vacation is coming to an end, and the new term is about to begin.

Class, class, homework, exam …

All in all, each class is a headache.

“Wuwa ~ School is about to start again.”

At this time, in front of an old building on the outskirts of Silver City One, a girl in her early twenties frowned and muttered to herself.

The girl had a sweet appearance and a gentle voice. She combed her short and medium hair covered with watermelon and wore a light blue dress. She was slightly skinny and was about 1.6 meters tall. Her name was Qin Ke’er, and she came from a large mountain village in the eastern part of the Far East Continent. This mountain village was called the Qin Family Village, and it was the largest village within a radius of more than a thousand kilometers.

Qin Ke’er is the village chief’s third daughter. Since she had been smart and outstanding since childhood, her father had taken her to the Fire Horn Temple thousands of kilometers away and begged the Great Grandmaster to take her as his disciple (the Fire Horn Temple was a branch of the Ancient Era’s Horned Rhino bloodline).

After a series of questions and answers, the Great Grandmaster refused on the ground that he was “still young.” However, considering that her father had donated a lot of money to the Fire Horn Temple, the Great Grandmaster agreed to send her to the Central Silver City Military Academy in the Western Continent for two years. After these two years of study, if she had any insights, the Great Grandmaster would take her as his disciple.

In other words, she was now a “self-financed” person.

There are roughly three types of students in the Central Silver City Military Academy, namely, “free students”, “self-funded students”, and “escort students”.

Among them, “free birth” is divided into two kinds, respectively, “noble free birth” and “commoner free birth”. All the registered Silver City nobles, regardless of whether their grades were good or bad, only needed to rely on their identification to directly enter the academy. Meanwhile, the “Free Life for Civilians” was designed for the civilians of Silver City No. 1. Admission is free if local commoners do well in the high school graduation exam (college entrance exam).

He was neither a noble nor a local commoner, so he could only rely on his own pockets. This was “self-sustaining”.

The term “preservation” refers to the students sent by the three great faiths, clans, and forces. All their expenses were paid by the organization behind them, which was, to put it bluntly, someone else’s own money.

On the surface, Qin Ke’er seemed to be the life-preserver of the temple. In fact, the main reason why she could come to school was that her father had donated enough money to pay for her tuition. Of course, their family was not at a disadvantage in this matter. Because the money her father had donated was barely enough to pay for her two years of schooling, and the Ancient Temple had to take care of her during her schooling.

At present, Qin Ke’er has been studying in the academy for a year and will be returning next summer. However, ever since she came to the Western Continent, she had been completely subdued by this prosperous world. She only wanted to stay here and not return to the barren Far East. Her appearance was not bad, and her grades were above average. As long as she had the money to buy permanent residence in Silver City No. 1 (similar to a green card) or marry a local, she would be able to stay.

However, she didn’t like ordinary locals and wanted to find someone rich. But the rich might play with her. Therefore, she decided to save some money and buy a permanent residence for herself before slowly finding a marriage partner.

However, she was a female student and there were not many ways to make money other than selling meat.

The Central Silver City Military Academy was a cruel and notary place.

Everything in the academy required money. Not only did they need money for food and accommodation, they even needed to pay extra for certain courses.

This was the cruelty of the academy. Although there were a bunch of nobles in the academy who gave birth free of charge, they actually spent more than anyone else.

The reason was very simple. Without money, they could only live in the cheapest collective dormitory. Four people were squeezed into rooms less than 20 square meters. How could these Silver City nobles be accustomed to such a life? So, high-grade single-person dormitory, 65 gold a semester, townhouse, 270 gold a semester, single villa, 550 gold a semester, luxurious single villa, 2350 gold a semester, super luxurious …

There are also meals, meals halls without money, western restaurants with money, high-grade western restaurants, luxurious western restaurants, super luxurious western restaurants …

All in all, as long as you can afford it, there’s nothing here, nothing to spend, nothing to spend.

However, as the number one military academy in the world, if everything had entered Qian Yan’s eyes, it would have been criticized endlessly and criticized to the point of being utterly incomplete.

Therefore, while studying, the college also provides many opportunities for students to earn money. This is the notarization of the college.

The college implements a “credit” system, which allows students to graduate after completing their credits. From this point of view, this place seemed to be no different from an ordinary academy.

However, in the Central Silver City Military Academy, “credits” were actually hard currency! Can trade, can buy food, can rent dormitories, can buy equipment, can replace everything provided in the academy, big to mecha, small to diploma …

Credit is a higher unit of money in a college than gold coins.

There are three main ways for students to get credits.

First, according to the exam results obtained unequal credits, scores are divided into three grades, pass, good, excellent.

Second, the academy holds competitions every Friday, and winners get varying credits.

Thirdly, the academy would regularly announce various tasks, and those who completed the tasks would earn the credits indicated in the tasks.

Among them, the third reward was the richest, but also the most dangerous and difficult. It is rumored that many students die in missions every year …

In the academy, money, or ability, can be very comfortable.

No money? No ability? Alright, study hard, get full credits through the exam, then graduate and get a job.

However, the number of credits that passed the exam was often just enough to meet the demand for a diploma. Those with excellent grades might get ten points more. However, these ten points would definitely not be enough to cover the tuition fees and living expenses for a year. In addition, there was a restriction in the academy. Anyone over the age of 28, regardless of whether they graduated or not, could not stay in the academy unless they successfully applied to become teachers.

Qin Ke’er was one of those people who relied on exams to earn credits. Her results were not bad, but she didn’t have much ability or money. Therefore, she could only be a spectator whether it was a competition or a mission.

However, as a life-preserving member of the temple, she still had some benefits.

Right now, for example, she was working as a summer worker for the Ancient Temple’s office in the Western Continent.

Her mission today was very simple, receiving a “country bumpkin” from the Northern Wilderness Continent.

The reason why she had decided that the other party was a country bumpkin without seeing him before was because the person who arranged the mission said, “That person is from the Northern Wilderness. He is a commoner and has not died. He probably hasn’t even seen a movie. I’m afraid that he will cause trouble everywhere. Help me watch him.”

“How annoying! What time do you come?”

At this moment, Qin Ke’er cursed to herself. She waited from nine o’clock in the morning until one o’clock in the afternoon. She hadn’t eaten lunch yet, and her stomach was so hungry that she began to growl. However, she did not dare to leave, because the person who arranged her mission had repeatedly stressed that she must receive that person in the first place. Otherwise, that person would cause trouble everywhere and they would have to clean up the mess.

“The Northern Wilderness is rather chaotic. I heard that the people there are desperate if they don’t agree. What if something happens? This is the Western Continent, the headquarters of the Temple, no less than our Far East.”

Recalling the other party’s original words, she could only obediently obey orders and wait while shouting …

Another half an hour passed, and just as Qin Ke’er was about to turn from anger to anger, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the sky. She looked up and saw a small aircraft circling in the air, looking for a landing place.

Qin Ke’er hurriedly took out her red handkerchief and waved it as she ran to the open space beside the old house.

“Here, idiot, here, come here …”

After a while, under Qin Ke’er’s guidance, the aircraft landed smoothly on the open space.

“Chi …”

With a long deflation sound, the aircraft’s rear hatch lid slowly opened.

Qin Ke’er’s eyes widened as she looked at the exit with her breath held. Although she already knew that the other party was a country bumpkin, there were still some handsome men among the country bumpkins.

“Buzz … Buzz …”

As he was full of anticipation, a young man rode out of the rear cabin on a red motorcycle.

When she saw the young man’s appearance clearly, Qin Ke’er shriveled her mouth in disappointment. This person’s appearance was ordinary, but he was still stupid. Forget pulling a beard and wearing glasses. Forget wearing glasses, it’s still a very ugly black plastic rimmed glasses …

This person is dirty from head to toe and even wears canvas boots. Who wears canvas boots these days? Forget it, ride a motorcycle, ride a motorcycle, and ride a half-new one …

If he was carrying more soil than the native people of the Far East, he wouldn’t be a garbage collector, right?

His figure is not bad, but it’s just not bad …

In less than five seconds, Qin Ke’er had secretly spat on the other party from head to toe.

“Hello, my name is Zhang Tie. I’m from the Northern Wilderness Continent.” The young man raised his head and extended his hand to her.

Looking at the other party’s hand, she hurriedly put her hands behind her back and pretended to be shy, as if she was embarrassed to shake hands with someone she had met for the first time.

Has this hand been washed? This was Qin Ke’er’s true thoughts.

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

The young man was also open-minded, revealing a warm smile as he retracted his hand.
