"Earn credits? How? Is it legitimate?"
Earning credits was way more exciting than earning money!
As for whether it was legitimate, Xu Zhi had only asked casually.
Meng Chuanling's rather ordinary features took on a mysterious expression when she heard Xu Zhi's words. "All the legitimate methods are written in the school rules. Where else would you find a way to earn more?"
So it was illegitimate, then?
"But don't worry. Although it's not written in the school rules, the Institute tacitly permits it and won't interfere."
"Oh?" Xu Zhi was intrigued. "So what exactly is the method?"
Meng Chuanling did not beat around the bush. "At the Light Institute, the best way to earn credits is through competitions. That applies to legitimate methods, and naturally to illegitimate ones as well."

Just ordinary arena matches to make money?
Why make it sound so mysterious, then?
Perhaps seeing
