"But how do we earn these points?"
Xia Ping asked with concern.
Nangong Wu thought for a moment. "Mainly through assignments. The university issues all kinds of tasks for students to complete, and those who finish them receive generous rewards."
"You can also earn points by making contributions. For example, if you obtain rare natural treasures, materials from demonic beasts, medicinal herbs, ores, and the like, you can turn them over to Yanhuang University, and the university will buy them from you for a certain number of points."
She explained how to earn university points.
"It looks like you can also earn a lot of points in the Freshman Ranking Tournament." Xia Ping tapped the screen, and the display projected the information.
Nangong Wu nodded. "That's right. There are plenty of points up for grabs. In this freshman tournament, first place gets ten thousand points, second and third place get five thousand, fourth through sixth place get three thousand, and seventh through tenth place get one thousand. The rest of the students only get one hundred starting points."
"So only the top ten get any real benefits. Looks like we don't stand a chance," Jiang Yaru said regretfully. She was confident in her abilities, but making the top ten at Yanhuang University, where talent was everywhere, was practically impossible.
"Probably only big brother has a shot," Feng Hetang said.
Xia Ping rubbed his chin. If he could win first place in the Freshman Ranking Tournament, he would earn ten thousand points—one hundred times what ordinary students started with. That was a whole different kind of head start.
He understood the principle: get ahead once, and you stayed ahead.
"No, no. You're all underestimating Yanhuang University. Even Xia Ping probably has no chance of making the top ten," Nangong Wu said,
