The Night Before the College Entrance Exam, Million Skill Points, Adding Points to Forbidden Spell!

"Agreed!"

"No objections!"

"Agreed!"

For a moment, the entire conference room erupted in voices of approval.

Qi Guoguang saw that the majority had voted in favor.

He stood up and said, "Then the meeting is adjourned. I need to submit the materials to the higher-ups."

"Dismissed!"

Qi Guoguang walked out of the conference room.

A trace of worry crept into his expression.

Troubled times!

Over ten days ago.

A World BOSS in the wilds of Canglan City had undergone a Mutation, and he had witnessed a mage who practiced Fire and Wind Dual Cultivation and could unleash four consecutive Tier 7 skills.

Now, from the Abyss, there had emerged an Abyssal Flame Emperor who could casually cast Tier 8 spells beyond his comprehension with a wave of his hand.

The commonality between the two was very clear.

Analyzing from their Magic Imprints.

They were both young!

Far younger than himself!

Qi Guoguang felt a sense of powerlessness.

It was the helplessness of someone who had devoted his entire life to this path.

Yet was utterly outclassed by true geniuses in the art of magic!

Oh, vast heavens, why are you so unkind to me!

Meanwhile.

In Jiangcheng.

Lin Yi walked out of the Treasure Pavilion.

He headed toward the other end of the Life Professioner street.

Over the past ten days, he hadn't gone out to level much.

Mainly because all the Leveling Zones and dungeons around Jiangcheng were now far below Lin Yi's level.

Even if he went to level, the experience he gained was minimal.

Lin Yi didn't want to do something with such poor returns.

With the big exam approaching, other classmates were grinding levels like crazy.

Only Lin Yi had been slacking off at home for ten days.

It was worth mentioning that the Jiang Family seemed genuinely grateful to Lin Yi for saving Jiang Chen.

The very next day, the old man Jiang Xian personally brought the now-awakened Jiang Chen to his door to thank him.

It startled Lin Yi's parents.

They were flattered.

Lin Yi received a full 200 freely tradable Skill Point Scrolls and a set of Silver Grade mage equipment.

This was an extremely valuable gift.

Lin Yi estimated that if he sold it off, it would be worth several hundred thousand Great Xia Coins!

This time, Lin Yi came to the Treasure Pavilion to sell the equipment the Jiang Family had given him, along with two Gold Grade pieces he had saved up earlier, to Zhang Dafu.

After seeing Platinum Grade equipment.

Lin Yi found that mage set rather uninteresting.

And more importantly...

It looked ugly!

For the sake of those stats, Lin Yi didn't want to sacrifice his image...

So he sold it off.

Lin Yi walked into a shop that specialized in buying Skill Books and Skill Point Scrolls.

This little shop was recommended by Zhang Dafu.

With his reputation backing it, Lin Yi sold all the Skill Point Scrolls he had at about 10% above market price.

After clearing out this batch of goods.

Lin Yi also received a text message from Great Xia Bank.

[Your bank card ending in 4396 has received a transfer of 749,680 yuan. Current balance: 1,293,346.21 yuan!]

Lin Yi's savings had officially broken through the million mark!

Sure enough, if you wanted to get rich quick, you had to rely on selling goods.

Especially tradable Skill Point Scrolls.

This stuff seemed to be the ultimate hard currency across the entire Blue Star.

It could even rival the status of gold from Lin Yi's past life on Earth.

The price of Skill Point Scrolls was locked in across the whole Blue Star—basically impossible to drop, only ever rising!

This might also be why Lin Yi's good buddy Zhang Shan had mentioned that his father had a few Skill Point Scrolls stashed away.

Holding onto this stuff, its value grew faster than the interest on a fixed deposit!

[Ding! Detected that your deposit balance has exceeded the million mark. Your talent, Gift of the Gods, has unlocked a new function!]

Lin Yi was startled.

Damn, a million in savings, and it unlocked another new function!

Lin Yi opened the talent interface to see the details of the new function.

[Skill Evolution: You can consume 1,000,000 Blue Star Currency and the corresponding Skill Points to evolve one of your Tier 8 or higher skills, turning it into a Mutated version of the same-tier skill, with greater power and stronger effects!]

[For ease of comparison and experience, your Tier 8 fire skill has been evolved into its Mutated version for free upon awakening. Subsequent use of this function will consume the corresponding currency, and the cost will increase with each use.]

Lin Yi was stunned.

Damn, his talent had really turned into a pay-to-win talent.

Not only could spending money speed up Skill Point acquisition, but now it could even evolve skills!

Truly, spend money to get stronger!

Skills had Mutated versions too?

His Tier 8 fire skill, Supreme Ascension, Fire Spirit Incarnation, was actually different from other fire-specialized Class Users' Tier 8 skills?

Well, his skill was a Frankenstein's monster—a transformation state skill with a Large Area of high damage.

It really should be a lot stronger than an ordinary Tier 8 fire skill.

Looked like he really needed to prioritize making money from now on!

Lin Yi opened his personal panel again.

Then he looked at his Skill Points column.

[Available Skill Points: 974,639]

The free Skill Points he'd been racking up every day for the past ten days had added up to nearly a million!

Lin Yi still hadn't forgotten the little goal he'd set on Awakening Day nearly a month ago.

To upgrade Fireball to a Forbidden Spell!

Now, that little goal was within reach.

Should he splash some cash to speed things up?

But when Lin Yi opened the spending interface.

And saw that it cost 100,000 Great Xia Coins to exchange for just over 80,000 Skill Points.

His teeth started to ache.

That was over one yuan per Skill Point!

Sure, for other people, if they could really buy Skill Points for just over one yuan each, they'd probably be laughing in their dreams.

But Lin Yi had the privilege of freeloading Skill Points without spending a single cent.

That created a psychological gap.

No more spending!

He couldn't spend anymore.

Otherwise, the million Great Xia Coins in his account wouldn't be enough to burn through.

Anyway, he was only short by a little over 30,000 points.

Just idling until evening would be enough.

In the afternoon, Lin Yi went back to school.

Mainly because tomorrow was the annual Blue Star Great Xia New Class User College Entrance Exam!

For these students, who had just recently changed classes and were still green around the edges, this was truly the first major turning point in their lives!

Either the carp leaps over the dragon gate and soars to the sky.

Either live a life of mediocrity.

Going back to school was mainly to get pep talks and warnings from the teachers and the principal.

Basically, they told everyone not to be nervous, just perform normally, and so on.

Lin Yi, honestly, had no interest in attending this kind of motivational gathering.

But he couldn't resist Zhang Shan's constant requests to meet up.

They hadn't seen each other in a month.

Because the results of the National College Entrance Examination came out on the same day.

There was no need to wait.

Take the exam, get the results on the spot.

At most, filling out preferences and university admissions took some time.

So in most cases, once the exam was over, everyone went their separate ways and never returned to high school.

Lin Yi agreed.

This pre-exam pep talk didn't last long.

It was over in less than half a day.

Lin Yi exchanged good wishes with Jiang Ya, Zhang Shan, and a few other close classmates, then headed home.

Back home, Lin Yi noticed that his father had rarely taken the day off from work today.

Instead, he had asked for leave to come home and have dinner with him.

His mother, Xu Qingfang, had even cooked a huge table of delicious dishes.

Both parents were very happy.

But Lin Yi could tell.

They were actually more nervous than he was.

Tomorrow was the most important day in their child's life, and as parents, that feeling was something no one else could understand.

After eating and drinking their fill.

It was nearly nine in the evening.

Lin Yi took a shower.

Then lay down on the bed.

He had to get up early tomorrow, so he needed to sleep early tonight.

But before sleeping, Lin Yi opened his personal panel again.

This time, his Skill Points balance had finally broken through seven digits, just like his bank account balance!
