Chapter 7: Benefits

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

During the lunch break, Chu Lingjun, Ding Peng, Chen Zhiqi, Lin Yin, and a dozen other students were called to the office by Shen Yanhu one by one.

“This is the book fee you paid before school started. As for this month’s lunch fee, because you have awakened your lightning power, according to the school and the Education Bureau’s regulations, all of it will be returned to you.”

Shen Yanhu took out a stack of money from the drawer and handed it to Chu Lingjun. It was about a thousand dollars. He then took out a notice and gave it to Chu Lingjun to sign.

“Thank you.” Chu Lingjun smiled as he put away the money and signed the notice.

The Dragon Country in this world had already implemented 12 years of compulsory education. There was no need to pay for school fees any longer. However, he still had to pay for some materials and to eat.

At the same time, some martial arts cultivation methods could also be found online for the first and second levels. However, for higher-level ones, they would have to apply to the government websites or the Martial Arts Association to access them, or if one was rich enough, they could just purchase them.

Shen Yanhu took out two cards from the drawer after Chu Lingjun finished signing the documents.

“This is your meal card and student card.

“According to the rules, those who have awakened their powers will have extra food for lunch every day. You have awakened a lightning power, so your calorie intake will be higher.

“The specific content of the tonic food will be arranged by the school and the Education Bureau according to the region and season. You can go to the school cafeteria to take a look at what you like.

“This is your student card. According to your awakened superpower, you can collect ten spiritual stones from the school logistics department every month.”

“Thank you, Teacher!” Chu Lingjun replied respectfully.

This was why he had to contract the electric eel yesterday.

The refund of the book fees and lunch fees were secondary. The most important thing was the resources the school had invested in him after he awakened his superpower.

The market price was 10,000 dollars for one spirit stone, so 10 spirit stones would be 100,000 dollars!

This was a huge sum of money!

Chu Lingjun’s father had risked his life at the front line, but his monthly salary would never sum up to this much.

The spirit stones contained extremely pure spiritual energy. After Chu Lingjun absorbs it, he can directly convert it into vitality or store it in his body for his spiritual energy to mobilize and cast spells.

“Alright, if you don’t have any objections, then sign this agreement.” Shen Yanhu smiled brightly.

With Chu Lingjun as his top student in class, the form teacher will also benefit from it.

When he reported Chu Lingjun’s results in the morning, the surrounding teachers were so envious that they almost drooled. The principal also praised him a few times.

Chu Lingjun picked up the contract and glanced at it. He had already checked the details of the contract online.

There were a few main points.

Firstly, after signing the contract, Chu Lingjun will have to study at Quicksand High School until he graduates and is not allowed to transfer schools.

This rule was very reasonable. The school will be investing a lot of resources on him.

At the same time, it was also to prevent vicious competition from other schools.

Secondly, after signing the contract, the school had the right to stop the distribution of resources and benefits if Chu Lingjun committed any crime or violated public order.

Thirdly, in order to nurture top students like Chu Lingjun, Chu Lingjun must not refuse to participate in actual combat or missions unless there were special circumstances that might hold him back. This might even be like having a criminal record.

In the past, there was a student in the school who was unwilling to go out for experience after enjoying all kinds of welfare resources.

They were always worried that they would be bitten to death by mutated beasts or encounter all kinds of accidents if they went out.

They were too afraid of death.

After confirming that there was no problem with the contract, Chu Lingjun signed his name.

Shen Yanhu looked at the student in front of him with interest.

Most students didn’t even look at the contract and signed it directly.

Chu Lingjun, on the other hand, was rather mature and experienced. He actually endured the long paragraphs and patiently read through each text.

Shen Yanhu praised him, but he still said, “Your performance was not bad. You have awakened your thunder power, but this is only the starting point, not the end. You still have to continue to cultivate diligently. There’s always someone better than you out there. There’s a genius in Class One that had a vitality of fifty points!”

“Fifty points?” Chu Lingjun was speechless!

Originally, he thought that Ding Peng was considered invincible to the world. He did not expect that there was someone even braver than him. Whose student was this?

“The one from Class Six is even more monstrous. Although his vitality is only thirty points, which is only one point higher than Ding Peng, he has awakened a combat domain superpower, elemental immunity!”

“Wha… What’s that? Elemental immunity?” Chu Lingjun was shocked.

“Yes.”

I was wrong. So Ding Peng was considered a loser amongst the elite…

Shen Yanhu also smiled bitterly. He was originally feeling smug, but he didn’t expect that there would be so many new geniuses this year.

“It’ll be impossible for the person in Class Six to be completely immune to the elements, right?” Chu Lingjun frowned after recovering from his shock.

” Of course,” Shen Yanhu said. “His superpower has just awakened, and he hasn’t fully developed, used, or cultivated it. Even so, the school tested him and he has already reached 10 percent elemental immunity. When he grows up, his immunity will only become stronger and stronger.”

Chu Lingjun heaved a sigh of relief.

However, it was a little exaggerated to be able to resist 10 percent of damage just after awakening.

In the future, this person would be a huge killer!

After some formalities, Chu Lingjun left the office.

“Call Ding Peng in when you go out.”

“Yes, sir.”

The school would give different rewards to each student according to their talent, so as to maximize the potential of the students.

When they arrived at the school cafeteria, Chu Lingjun inserted his meal card into the computer. It displayed the dishes he could choose from.

[1. Rice, chicken, duck, fish, meat.]

[2. You can choose one set of meat from bloodthirsty raging bull, fanged iron boar, or wind blade rabbit.]

[3. You can choose one serving of spiritual bamboo shoot soup, bird’s nest soup, hibiscus brain, or lobster essence.]

[4. You can choose one serving of stewed chicken soup, spirit seaweed with wolfberries, pork rib soup, and snail soup.]

[5. You can choose Charcoal roasted sparrow jerky, barbeque sauce roasted crocodile meatballs, garlic ice deer ribs as snacks.]

Chu Lingjun drooled as he looked at the pictures on the computer.

This was also the reason why the students would choose to have lunch at school.

The lunch here wasn’t an ordinary lunch, but lunch made from exotic beast meat.

Because of the government’s lunch subsidy, most meals were affordable as a student.

Eating these mutated beasts with spiritual qi for lunch would increase the students’ cultivation.

Chu Lingjun had awakened his lightning superpower, so he didn’t need to pay for his meals.

Chu Lingjun chose a bowl of rice, a serving of green vegetables, a serving of fanged iron boar, a serving of spiritual bamboo shoot soup, a serving of spirit seaweed with wolfberries, and a serving of garlic ice deer ribs.

Chu Lingjun didn’t order any more.

In order to prevent wastage, the school cafeteria was installed with many surveillance cameras.

Every student had to abide by the rules. They could order more, but if they couldn’t finish the food, they would be fined or barred from school.

Chu Lingjun brought the plate to his seat and gobbled everything down. After eating, his stomach immediately felt warm and his energy surged. Cool energy flowed to his brain.

These dishes replenished and increased his spiritual power.

The garlic ice deer ribs were huge. A small rib bone was as thick as Chu Lingjun’s arm.

Chu Lingjun nibbled on it until there was no more.

After Chu Lingjun ate for a while, a few figures walked in from outside the restaurant. They were Ding Peng, Chen Zhiqi, Lin Yin, and the others.

There were quite a few people in the school cafeteria, and there were only some empty seats next to Chu Lingjun.

In addition, they were classmates and Chu Lingjun was the class monitor. These people subconsciously walked over after they finished eating.

“Is there anyone sitting here? Shall we eat together?” Ding Peng took the initiative to speak.

“Nope, no one. Come and eat.” Chu Lingjun smiled.

“Sure.”

Ding Peng and the others smiled and nodded. In the foreseeable future, Chu Lingjun’s strength should be the strongest in the class. Whether it was cultivation or class activities, they might have to rely on Chu Lingjun.

They also wanted to build a good relationship with Chu Lingjun.

When Ding Peng heard this, he quickly took a seat next to Chu Lingjun.

After the talent test in the morning, Ding Peng believed that Chu Lingjun would be the strongest mage, and he would be the strongest warrior!

The two of them could be the golden duo and be invincible to the world!

Ding Peng placed the dishes on the table with some longing, but when he saw Chu Lingjun’s dishes, the smile on his face froze.

He had four exotic beast meats.

Ding Peng and Chen Zhiqi only had three.

Lin Yin, Zhuo Chang, and the others were even worse off… They only had two.
