The Night Before the College Entrance Examination: A Million Skill Points, Adding Points to a Forbidden Spell!

"Agreed!"

"No objections!"

"Agreed!"

For a moment, voices of approval rang out throughout the conference room.

Qi Guoguang saw that the majority had voted in favor.

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

"Meeting adjourned!"

Qi Guoguang walked out of the conference room.

A trace of worry appeared between his brows.

These were troubled times indeed!

More than ten days ago.

A World BOSS had undergone a Mutation in the wilderness outside Canglan City. He had witnessed a Mage expert with Fire and Wind Dual Cultivation who could fire off a Tier 7 skill four times in a row.

And now, an Abyssal Flame Emperor had emerged from the Abyss, capable of casting a Tier 8 spell that he could not comprehend with a mere flick of the hand.

The two had one obvious thing in common.

Based on analysis of their Magic Imprints.

They were both very young!

Far younger than he was!

Qi Guoguang felt a sense of helplessness.

It was the helplessness of having devoted his entire life to this field.

Yet still being completely unable to compare with a true genius on the path of magic!

Vast heavens above, why are you so unfair to me?!

Meanwhile.

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 had barely gone out to level up.

The main reason was that the Leveling Zones and Dungeons around all of Jiangcheng were already far below Lin Yi's level.

Even if he went leveling, he would gain very little experience.

Lin Yi had no interest in doing something so inefficient.

With the major exam approaching, the other students were grinding levels like mad.

Only Lin Yi had lazed around at home for ten days.

It was worth mentioning that the Jiang Family seemed genuinely grateful that Lin Yi had saved Jiang Chen.

The next day, old Master Jiang Xian had personally brought the recovered Jiang Chen to Lin Yi's home to thank him.

They had utterly startled Lin Yi's parents.

They were flattered beyond measure.

Lin Yi received a full 200 freely tradable Skill Point Scrolls, as well as a Silver Grade Mage set.

That was an extremely valuable gift of thanks.

Lin Yi estimated that selling it off would net him several hundred thousand Great Xia Coins!

This time, Lin Yi had come to the Treasure Pavilion to have Zhang Dahai sell the equipment set gifted by the Jiang Family, along with the two Gold Grade pieces he had already been holding onto.

After seeing Platinum Grade equipment.

Lin Yi found that Mage set rather uninteresting.

And more importantly...

It looked ugly when worn!

Lin Yi did not want to sacrifice his image for those few attributes...

So he sold it off.

Lin Yi arrived at a shop that specialized in buying Skill Books and Skill Point Scrolls.

Zhang Dafu had introduced him to this little shop.

Thanks to Zhang Dafu's reputation, all the Skill Point Scrolls in Lin Yi's possession were sold at prices roughly 10% above market value.

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. Card balance: 1,293,346.21 yuan!]

Lin Yi's savings had officially surpassed one million!

Sure enough, if he wanted to get rich overnight, he still had to rely on selling goods.

Especially tradable Skill Point Scrolls.

These things seemed to have become a super-hard currency across all of Blue Star.

They could even rival the gold of Earth from Lin Yi's previous life.

The price of Skill Point Scrolls was fixed across Blue Star. It was basically impossible for it to fall; it would only rise!

Perhaps that was why Lin Yi's good friend Zhang Shan had previously said that his father was holding onto several Skill Point Scrolls.

The value of storing these things rose faster than the interest from fixed deposits!

[Ding! Detected that your savings balance has surpassed one million. Your talent, Gift of the Gods, has unlocked a new function!]

Lin Yi was startled.

Damn, reaching a million in savings unlocked another new function!

Lin Yi opened the talent interface and only then saw the details of the new function.

[Skill Evolution: You may 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 Mutation version of a skill of the same tier, with greater power and stronger effects!]

[For ease of comparison, your Tier 8 fire-element skill was freely evolved into its Mutation version upon awakening. When using this function in the future, the corresponding currency will be consumed, and the currency cost will increase further with each use.]

Lin Yi froze.

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!

Spend money to become stronger for real!

Skills even had Mutation versions?

His Tier 8 fire-element skills, Supreme Ascension and Fire Spirit Incarnation, were actually different from the Tier 8 skills of other fire-specialized Mages?

Well, his skill was a mishmash. It was both a transformation-type skill and one that dealt heavy damage over a wide area.

It really should be much stronger than ordinary Tier 8 fire-element skills.

It seemed he truly needed to put making money on the agenda in the future!

Lin Yi opened his personal panel again.

Then he looked at the Skill Points section.

[Distributable Skill Points: 974639]

The free Skill Points he had received every day over the past ten days had accumulated to nearly a million!

Lin Yi still had not forgotten the small goal he had set on his awakening day almost a month ago.

To add points to Fireball until it became a Forbidden Spell!

Now, that small goal was within reach.

Should he spend some money and speed things up?

However, Lin Yi opened the payment interface.

When he saw that it would cost 100,000 Great Xia Coins to exchange for a little over 80,000 Skill Points.

His teeth ached.

That was more than one yuan for a single Skill Point!

Although for anyone else, if they could really buy one Skill Point for a little over one yuan, they would probably laugh themselves awake from their dreams.

But Lin Yi had the privilege of getting Skill Points for free without spending a cent.

That created a psychological gap.

No spending!

He could not spend any more.

Otherwise, the million Great Xia Coins in his account would not be enough to burn through.

He was only short by a little over thirty thousand points anyway.

If he left it running until tonight, it would be enough.

That afternoon, Lin Yi returned to school.

The main reason was that tomorrow would be the annual National College Entrance Examination for newly advanced Class Users in Great Xia on Blue Star!

For all the students who had only recently changed classes and had yet to shed their youthful immaturity, this would be the first true major turning point in their lives!

Either they would leap over the dragon gate and soar into the sky.

Or they would live an ordinary life forever.

The reason they returned to school was mainly to be fed motivational speeches and given some preventative advice by the teachers and principal.

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

Lin Yi had not really been interested in attending this kind of motivational gathering.

But Zhang Shan had kept insisting that he wanted to see him.

They had not seen each other for a month.

Because the results of the National College Entrance Examination would be released that very day.

There was no need to wait.

They took the exam on the spot, and the rankings were announced on the spot.

At most, filling out applications and university admissions would take some time.

So in most cases, once the college entrance examination was over, everyone would go their separate ways and never return to their high school again.

So Lin Yi agreed.

This pre-exam motivational meeting did not last long.

It ended in less than half a day.

Lin Yi exchanged well wishes with Jiang Ya, Zhang Shan, and several other classmates he was close with before they all went home.

When he returned home, Lin Yi discovered that his father had unusually not worked overtime that day.

Instead, he had taken leave and returned home to have dinner with him.

His mother, Xu Qingfang, had cooked an entire table full of delicious dishes.

His parents were both very happy.

But Lin Yi could tell.

They were actually even more nervous than he was.

Tomorrow was the most important day of their child's life. No one could truly understand how parents felt.

After eating and drinking his fill.

It was already close to nine at night.

Lin Yi took a shower.

He lay down in bed.

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

However, before going to sleep, Lin Yi opened his personal panel once more.

This time, his Skill Point balance had finally surpassed seven digits, just like his savings balance!
