"Still... took out the loan..." Xi Ye looked speechlessly at the balance of 10 billion in his account, his mind feeling dizzy. Even now, he hadn't recovered from the sweet talk of his beautiful teacher.

Actually, he used to despise his old man for being so easily swayed. Every time he resolved to drop out of school, he would be persuaded by this teacher to prepay the tuition for the next hundred years. Especially later, when the family was so poor that they had sold off the mines, the old man could still be coaxed into taking out tens of billions in loans. Afterward, amidst everyone's complaints, he was ousted from the position of patriarch. He didn't even know if the loans had been paid off yet.

Should he go back and see his old man?

Thinking of the 10 billion God Coins in his balance, Xi Ye suddenly felt a lot more confident. But then he thought that this was all a loan, and he would have to pay it back in the future, and he immediately deflated a lot.

A 3.5% interest rate, damn, he really dared to take out such a loan!!

Now he finally understood his old man's situation back then. The teacher was indeed an old saleswoman who had lived for tens of thousands of epochs. He wondered how many other unlucky people she had scammed besides him.

With money, naturally, he had to go shopping for supplies. Since he had already borrowed so much, he might as well be extravagant for a while and buy to his heart's content!

He decided to go to the Federation's largest shopping planet for a spending spree. So he booked a luxurious Star Sea train, generously booking business class for himself and a few followers, costing him over 500 God Coins just for the tickets. In the past, that would have been a year's worth of living expenses!

Spending borrowed money really didn't hurt at all!

On the Star Sea train, several players stared wide-eyed at everything around them. The train was made of Dragon Steel, giving it a ferocious and domineering feel from the outside, like a giant steel dragon. The interior was extremely luxurious, with the jade bones of Star Sea Giant Whales used to pave the floors, with patterns carved by top elven artists, decorated with Phoenix Crystals, and adorned with Hai Lan Star Grass worth 8,000 God Coins per plant, comparable to an ancient elven palace.

The business class seats were all seamlessly stitched with the genuine leather of Star Sea beasts above the twelfth rank. Each seat was equipped with the latest dream crystal touchscreen, which not only had a realistic texture but also had a massage effect on the eyesight.

Although the players didn't recognize the value of the items, they still felt the extremely luxurious atmosphere. Several of them came from decent families, especially the descendants of Grandpa Lu. When Grandpa Lu was blacklisted, he opened several coffee shops, and his Cappuccinos sold like crazy. After several generations of accumulation, they were considered middle class in the D Planet Federation. As a standard rich Nth generation, he had eaten at Michelin restaurants, stayed in presidential suites, and was a man who could afford War Horse energy drinks, but at this moment, he sat cautiously on the chair, his expression as restrained as a poor man entering a palace.

Secretly, he used the game's smart screenshot function to capture everything he had seen in the past few days, preparing to go back and start a thread to praise the game to the heavens!!

Xi Ye, on the other hand, lay comfortably on the leather seat, leisurely tapping on the dream crystal screen, linking his Federation account, and opening his class's Celestial Group chat.

It showed that there were over a million unread messages, and he immediately curled his lip and complained, "Are these guys so idle?"

Actually, before finding the Milky Way Galaxy, he was the guy who spammed the group the most during the ten thousand years on the spaceship. Now that he had turned over a new leaf and was on the right track, looking at those active guys in the group, a sense of superiority arose spontaneously. He thought to himself, "A bunch of losers!"

In any student group, the real big shots rarely speak. He was now a man with a loan of 10 billion God Coins, so of course, he wouldn't chatter in the group like before, but he still had to lurk, otherwise, how would he know if these losers were doing as well as him?

After opening the screen and zooming in, he browsed through it a bit. The general information was still as boring as before. Either someone had a 1,700-game winning streak in Alliance Glory, or someone had screenshots of continuous chicken dinners. The more insane ones were posting videos demonstrating how to cook specimens...

However, the content of the records in the past two days was slightly different. They seemed to be discussing the unified exam.

Xi Ye suddenly remembered that it seemed that these days were the days for the Federation's once-in-a-decade large-scale interstellar campus recruitment!

This topic was a bit sensitive because most of the people in the group were failures who had chosen the wrong major in the college entrance examination. Of course, Xi Ye, who had a loan of 10 billion, was not on the same level as them, but he was also very curious about what kind of past these failures had.

Celestial A Class Senior: "Ah, back when I set off on my ambitious journey, my younger brother was still wearing open-crotch pants. Now his great-grandson is participating in the unified exam, and I haven't even found a female Goblin. I've decided that when I find a planet, I will colonize it as a breeding stallion, even if the natives of that planet are uglier than Goblins!!"

Celestial C: "Damn, what if it's a hermaphroditic Cockroach Person?"

Senior: "I'll screw it!"

Everyone: "Awesome, awesome!"

Celestial G: "Speaking of which, have you guys encountered any juniors asking about exam questions recently? I'm speechless. Although we were all top science students from various planets back then, it's been over 20,000 years. Who the hell still remembers what we learned in high school? And can the exam questions now be the same as the exam questions from 20,000 years ago?"

Celestial B Class Dust Cutter: "Who says it isn't? Some time ago, a junior in the family group secretly messaged me about the synthetic test tube sequence for Artificial Blue Phoenix Crystals. After giving the list of test tube mixture materials, he asked me what test tube e connects to f, c connects to d, and what a connects to? How the hell would I remember what it connects to? Besides, we didn't even have Blue Phoenix Crystals that year!"

Senior: "Oh? Artificial Phoenix Crystal synthesis? That's Hex Chemistry content, a subject required for Clockwork Interstellar University and Piltover Interstellar University to admit students. You actually know such high-end knowledge?"

Dust Cutter: "Nonsense, my family is a pure Piltover Family, passed down for almost half an epoch. My Hex Mechanical Physics and Hex Organic Chemistry were the strongest among my peers back then. Several ancestors were fighting to give me their genes. If I hadn't entered thislame Celestial Group Academy, I might be a cutting-edge scientist with an annual salary of a million God Coins now. Now I can't even answer such a low-end question for a moment!"

Senior: "Is... is that so? Then how did you reply to your junior?"

"How else could he have done it?" Dust Severing Swordsman sent a rolling eyes emoji: "A into W into outer circle scrape into Ruthless Iron Hand into A into A to trigger Bloodrage then execute with Guillotine for a solo kill!!"

Senior Brother: "..."

God C: "No problem with that combo!"

God G: "That depends on whether the opponent has a displacement skill. If they do, you can't do a small step back outer circle scrape after W, otherwise they'll just use their displacement to get away, and your Ruthless Iron Hand won't be able to pull anyone."

Xi Ye almost subconsciously retorted when he saw this: If you can start with a basic attack into W, of course you have to activate Sprint for a wave of solo kill, how could the opponent possibly escape?

But then he thought about his current worth, how could he still discuss such issues with this group of scrubs?

Just as he was thinking about how to elegantly and uniquely make an appearance, suddenly a shadow enveloped his light screen. Xi Ye was stunned for a moment, frowned, and turned off the screen. Then, he saw an extremely strong and mighty Thunder Warrior in the reflection!

This silhouette... couldn't be... Xi Ye's heart skipped a beat.

"Yo, quite leisurely, our family's future star!"

Hearing this familiar mocking voice, Xi Ye was sure it was that guy.

Then he looked over with a complicated expression: "Long time no see, Father!"
