Get Out If You Don't Buy

Back at the academy.

After dinner, Luo Yan didn't return to his dorm but headed straight for the Logistics Department.

He wanted to exchange for some potions and speed up his cultivation.

Right now, he had over three hundred academic credits he hadn't used.

While the Calming Agent had a good cost-performance ratio, its benefits for cultivation were limited.

Luo Yan wanted to see if there was anything more suitable, as long as the academic credits required weren't outrageously high.

He was willing to give it a try.

Especially after witnessing Di Zheng's fight today, he felt a deep urge for power, a desire to become strong.

And in this chaotic world, to survive, and to live better than others.

Clearly, immense power was the foundation of everything.

As for academic credits, he could always earn more after spending them.

Entering the Logistics Department, Luo Yan heard someone shouting.

"What, work points can't be exchanged for items anymore?"

"How could this happen?"

"We could still do it last semester!"

"When did the rules change? How come I didn't know?"

"What about the things my baby needs?"

"You want me to buy them outside?"

"The quality outside isn't as good as our academy's."

"Buy academic credits?"

"Fine, you wait for me!"

"I'll find someone to buy them!"

At the exchange window, a handsome young man turned around, about to leave.

Seeing Luo Yan, he slapped his forehead and pointed at him, "Aren't you that freshman, the one who killed Luo Beichen, what's his name again?"

"Luo Yan! Right, Luo Yan!"

Luo Yan glanced at him and ignored him, habitually walking towards the exchange window along the wall.

"Don't go."

"My name is Yang Likai, my dad is Yang Zhen."

"Do you know Yang Zhen?"

The youth calling himself Yang Likai followed behind him.

"You don't know my dad, do you?"

"My dad is the Bureau Chief of the Construction Bureau!"

"No, can you just listen to me for a second."

He quickly stepped forward, blocking Luo Yan's path.

Luo Yan looked up, his gaze sweeping over the youth's fair neck, lingering particularly on the carotid artery.

Yang Likai felt a chill in his neck but didn't pay it any mind, continuing, "When you guys came back from the Forbidden Zone last time, I heard the academy rewarded you with three hundred academic credits."

"You can't use that much anyway, so give me some."

"I'll trade work points for it."

"100 work points for 1 academic credit."

"Be quick about it, give me your student card, I'll transfer it for you."

Luo Yan sized him up.

He wondered where the confidence came from.

That he was sure Luo Yan would sell him the academic credits.

"You want academic credits?"

Luo Yan spoke, "Sure, but 100 to 1, I'm not selling."

Yang Likai was stunned for a moment, then said, "Fine, then 200, no more than that."

"Work points for 1 academic credit."

"Are you buying?" Luo Yan said.

Yang Likai's mouth fell open, and he shouted, "Is that how you sell things? You're robbing me!"

Luo Yan walked past him, "If you're not buying, get lost."

Yang Likai's face immediately turned from green to purple.

He clenched his fists, but then saw the Logistics Department security guards looking at him lazily.

Yang Likai snorted and turned to leave.

Over on the other side.

Luo Yan had already arrived at the exchange window.

Behind the window was a young woman a little older than Luo Yan.

She seemed to be a senior student working a part-time job here.

Seeing Luo Yan, she smiled and asked, "Junior, what do you want to exchange for?"

Before Luo Yan could speak, a man walked over from behind the counter. He looked to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

He wore a pair of tea-colored, round-framed glasses, held a small abacus in his hand, and wore slippers. He walked over and lazily patted the girl's shoulder.

"Little Ya, it's getting late, you should go back first."

"Okay, Mr. Haoting." The young woman stood up, winked at Luo Yan, and left the window.

The man named 'Haoting' sat down, placed his abacus on the table, and asked with a smile, "Student, what do you want to exchange for?"

Luo Yan said concisely, "Cultivation resources that can improve cultivation speed."

Pushing up the round-framed glasses on his nose, the man said with an unchanged smile, "There are quite a few potions that can improve cultivation speed."

"Calming Agent and Cloud Water Agent are the bestsellers."

"I've used the Calming Agent, it's too slow," Luo Yan shook his head.

He added, "The Cloud Water Agent has too low a cost-effectiveness."

"Understood." The man with glasses reached out and manipulated the beads on his abacus. "You need a potion that can cultivate quickly, improve progress, and also has good cost-effectiveness."

"In that case, the 'Spark Agent' should be most suitable for you."

"As the saying goes, a single spark can start a prairie fire. The Spark Agent can accelerate Essence Energy absorption speed to the greatest extent, and the most important point is that it can help you remove impurities, making your Essence Energy as pure as possible."

"From an efficiency perspective, one dose is equivalent to two doses of Calming Agent, and it also has a purification effect that Calming Agent lacks."

"And its price is moderate, only costing 10 academic credits."

"However, you are a celebrity at school."

"I also appreciate your attitude towards Yang Zhen's son just now."

"I'll give you a discount here, only charging you 8 academic credits, how about that?"

Luo Yan quickly calculated.

The Cloud Water Agent, which was only 20% better than the Calming Agent in effect, cost 5 academic credits.

The Spark Agent had double the efficiency of the Calming Agent, with the added effect of purifying Essence Energy, and after the discount, it only cost 8 academic credits.

The cost-effectiveness was indeed very high!

Luo Yan looked up and said, "I'll take 10 doses, can you make it any cheaper?"

The man with glasses chuckled, "I didn't expect you to be so calculating. Follow my lead, alright, I'll give you a little more benefit."

"Let's call it 75 academic credits for 10 doses, I can't go any lower."

"Deal!"

Swipe card, take the potions, leave.

After Luo Yan left.

The man named 'Haoting' said with a smile, "Look, who dares to say no one dares to try my new potion now."

"This student Luo took it, didn't he."

"Those fools, when they realize how good the Spark Agent is and come asking me for it, no one will get it for less than 20 academic credits!"

He picked up his abacus, hummed a little tune, his slippers making a slapping sound as he walked, swaying as he left the exchange room.

Returning to the dormitory, Luo Yan took a shower and prepared to cultivate.

This past weekend at Zeng Shan's house, he had followed Wei Fenghua's advice and focused on recuperation.

After two days.

He felt that there were no major issues.

Naturally, he was unwilling to waste time.

He opened the window, facing the night sky.

Luo Yan sat down cross-legged.

He first did some preparatory exercises to calm his mind.

Then he picked up a 'Spark Agent'.

The Spark Agent was deep blue all over, with occasional flashes of orange-yellow light within, resembling sparks.

He brought the potion to his lips, took a deep breath, and absorbed the liquid within before beginning his Visualization Technique meditation.

As the Visualization Technique activated, Luo Yan clearly felt a much vaster Essence Energy than usual surging from all directions, rushing to pour into Luo Yan's body.

Once this Essence Energy entered Luo Yan's body, it felt like a flame ignited within.

With a boom.

It ignited all the Essence Energy that had entered.

During the burning process, the amount of Essence Energy gradually decreased, but the Essence Energy refined by the flame was a third more pure than before.

It swiftly filled Luo Yan's meridians, and those meridians were rapidly scoured and tempered.

In less than fifteen minutes.

The meridian was completely tempered.

Luo Yan rejoiced inwardly.

This 'Spark Agent' was indeed extraordinary; its tempering speed was much faster than the 'Calming Agent'.

If a 'Spark Agent' was used daily, perhaps it could shorten the time to complete the Observing Mountains and Seas Primary Level Three cultivation by a third!
