Bonus Chapter. Enjoy!
==========================
"Yuhao! Quick, quick, quick!"
"Hurry up and see what's at the top of your recommendation list?"
"Brother is dying of anxiety!"
Inside the Sea of Consciousness, the chubby body of the Skydream Ice Worm was constantly wriggling, its small eyes full of curiosity.
"Okay, I'll look right now."
Huo Yuhao responded in his heart and clicked on the "Wisdom Recommendation" list that belonged to him.
"Swish—"
The light screen refreshed.
Ranked first was not some Immortal Herb, nor some Spirit Bone or pill.
It was a knife.
[Life Guardian Blade] (Made of Life Gold, not the one from the original work).
"Huh? What's this?"
The Skydream Ice Worm was dumbfounded.
"A knife?"
"Is there a mistake?"
"And..."
The Skydream Ice Worm's gaze moved down, landing on the exchange price below that Carving Knife.
The next second, this million-year-old big worm let out a scream.
"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands... hundred millions?!"
"Three hundred million Contribution Points?!"
"Is it crazy?!"
The Skydream Ice Worm felt like its Mental Force was about to go haywire.
Huo Yuhao was also full of confusion and doubt.
He also felt it was somewhat unbelievable.
A Carving Knife, is it really worth that much?
Although he knew the production of Spirit Tools was inseparable from carving knives, and top-tier carving knives were indeed priceless, this knife... just looking at the picture, it really looked ordinary.
Just when Huo Yuhao and the Skydream Ice Worm were both very confused.
"Buzz—"
That small gray sphere that had been floating quietly deep in the Sea of Consciousness suddenly trembled slightly.
Immediately after, an old and majestic voice sounded in the ears of the boy and the worm without warning.
"Ignorant."
These two words, although not loud, carried a pressure that pierced straight through the soul.
"Who?!"
The Skydream Ice Worm shuddered all over in fear and looked around warily.
"Who's speaking?!"
"Stop looking, big worm."
As the voice sounded again, the small gray sphere slowly floated over, emitting a faint gray halo.
Within that halo, a blurry, elderly figure could be vaguely seen.
"This old man's name is Electrolux."
"Holding the sun and moon to pluck the stars, there is no one like me in this world."
"That is this old man."Huo Yuhao was stunned, looking at the gray figure calling himself Electrolux, waves of shock surging in his heart.
"Electrolux?"
The Skydream Ice Worm squinted its small eyes and said somewhat unconvinced:
"Plucking stars or not, you sure talk big."
Electrolux glanced indifferently at the Skydream Ice Worm.
"This old man is just a remnant soul."
"Previously, because my soul state was unstable, I had been in a deep sleep to recover, and only recently did it stabilize slightly."
After a brief explanation, Electrolux ignored the Skydream Ice Worm and turned his gaze to the image on the exchange list.
Looking at that "Life Guardian Blade," a trace of emotion actually appeared in Electrolux's old voice.
"Little fellow."
"If you can obtain this knife, it will be the greatest fortune of your life."
"Because...the material of this knife is the Life Gold!"
"Life Gold?"
Huo Yuhao and the Skydream Ice Worm asked in unison.
It was a term they had never heard of before.
"That's right, Life Gold."
Electrolux said slowly:
"It is a wondrous object that condenses the purest life force between heaven and earth."
"Tch..."
The Skydream Ice Worm curled its lips disdainfully.
"Saying it so mysteriously, isn't it just a metal with slightly stronger life force?"
"How precious can it be?"
"Can it be more precious than me?"
"I am a Million-Year Spirit Beast!"
"Can this broken thing compare to me?"
Hearing the Skydream Ice Worm's boastful words, Electrolux had no emotional fluctuation.
"Little worm."
Electrolux shook his head.
"Your origin... to be honest, is not that great. It's a miracle you've lived this long, or rather, your luck is very good."
"But..."
Electrolux's tone changed, instantly becoming sharp:
"All your life force added together is only about the size of a teardrop of the Life Gold."
"And that's an overestimation of you."
"What?!"
The Skydream Ice Worm was like a cat that had its tail stepped on, its fur instantly standing on end.
"Bullshit!"
"My million years of cultivation! Million years of life! You say it's not as good as a broken piece of thing the size of a teardrop?!"
"You are insulting me! You are insulting the great Brother Tianmeng!"
Of course, no matter how loudly it argued, the Skydream Ice Worm didn't dare to make a move. Electrolux was very strong, at least it was completely outmatched, and they were both in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness; if they broke something, it wouldn't be good.
"This school... is not simple at all."
Electrolux's voice carried a hint of deep emotion, ignoring the Skydream Ice Worm.
"Even with this old man's past experience, I actually can't see through this academy."
"To even take out something like the Life Gold and casually put it on the exchange list for students to exchange..."
"Little fellow."
Electrolux looked at Huo Yuhao and said seriously:
"Being able to stay in this school is your great fortune and the biggest opportunity of your life."
"This is enough to prove that this school is extraordinary, and the person in control behind it is likely a figure of immense power."
After saying this, the light of the small gray sphere gradually dimmed.
"This old man's energy is limited and cannot remain awake for long."
"One last word to you, this Life Gold will have a huge effect on you."
The voice grew smaller and smaller, finally disappearing completely as Electrolux fell back into a deep sleep.
Inside the Sea of Consciousness, peace was restored.
The Skydream Ice Worm muttered a few words, then looked at Huo Yuhao and asked somewhat uncertainly:
"Yuhao, do you... believe that guy's words?"
Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the Carving Knife on the bracelet's light screen, and a firm light flashed in his eyes.
"I believe him."
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and said in his heart:
"Brother Tianmeng, that senior Electrolux should have no reason to deceive me."
"And..."
Huo Yuhao paused and analyzed:
"If this thing really wasn't precious, the academy wouldn't have priced it at three hundred million Contribution Points."
"You should know, the Qiluo Tulip Ning Tian wants is only one million."
"Since the system recommended it to me, it means it's really important to me."
Huo Yuhao clenched his fists.
"Although it looks like an astronomical figure now, I must save up enough!"
Just as Huo Yuhao was making up his mind.
On the podium, Teacher Shen Yi's voice sounded again, pulling his thoughts back to reality.
"Alright, everyone can explore the functions of the bracelet slowly after you go back."
"Now, we need to talk about serious business."
Teacher Shen Yi clapped her hands, attracting everyone's attention.
"I know that seeing those dazzling treasures in the mall, you must all be very tempted right now, wishing you could take them home immediately."
"So, what I'm going to tell you next is how to earn Contribution Points in this academy."
Teacher Shen Yi wrote four large characters on the blackboard.
[Secondary Profession]!
"Besides completing the daily cultivation tasks and special assessments released by the academy."
"The fastest and most stable way to accumulate Contribution Points is your second profession!"
Teacher Shen Yi's gaze swept over everyone:
"You have all filled in your second profession intentions."
"The academy will provide you with the top teaching resources and equipment."
"As long as you can achieve something in your respective sub-professions and produce high-quality finished products, the academy will recycle them in the form of Contribution Points!"
"For example, a piece of Thousand-Refined metal, a third-class Spirit Tool, or an excellent design blueprint."
"These are all ways for you to earn Contribution Points!"
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment.
"Secondary Profession..."He subconsciously looked at his hands.
"The Secondary Profession I chose is... Soul Engineer."
However, since entering the school, in the past half month or so, although he had also read books about Spirit Tools and accumulated a lot of theoretical knowledge.
But his main time was still spent on improving his Spirit Power level, daily teaching, and the training Mu Ye arranged for him.
Now it seemed that he had to put learning on his schedule.
