The banquet went smoothly, and Xia Ping successfully earned 20,000 Hate Points. Who knew how many people cursed him, but there was nothing they could do except swallow their anger.
By evening, the guests who had attended the banquet had gradually left. Only Xia Ping's family remained in the villa.

Xia Ping said to Xia Chuanliu, "I brought you some gifts when I came back from the Yanhuang University entrance exam."
"You went to take the exam. I heard it was brutal and a lot of people died. You still managed to bring back gifts?" Xia Chuanliu blinked.

"Th-those are the legendary Gem Fruits, aren't they?"
His mother, Huang Lanxin, was astonished when she saw the fruits. She had studied cooking for a long time, so she knew a thing or two about the precious ingredients found on Yanhuang Planet. Gem Fruits were one of those legendary ingredients.
"I heard these Gem Fruits are incredibly valuable. A single one is worth fifty million Federal Coins. Only the bigwigs at the top are qualified to enjoy them. You can't buy them on the market at all. They're priceless."
She rubbed her eyes, unable to believe what she was seeing.
"That's incredible, son. Where on earth did you find these Gem Fruits?" Xia Chuanliu was just as shocked.
Xia Ping smiled. "The exam took place in some ruins. There happened to be a Heaven and Earth Strange Tree growing there, so I picked these Gem Fruits."
"Son, why don't you just fly up to the sky while you're at it? Everyone else takes the exam
