A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 747 - 733: Economic Crisis

Learning that the next class would be in a month, and that it would be about Golden Blood, Baiyu felt content.

Even though he didn't understand much of the course content.

However.

He still learned quite a bit from the class.

Moreover, he had to attend every class afterward; otherwise, he wouldn't know the exact time and content of the next class.

This teaching method.

Missing just one class could mean losing out on one's unique session.

After Ren Wu announced the end of the class, the eight people in the classroom did not leave.

"Everyone, how about we get to know each other first? We're classmates for future classes. I'm Green Dragon, from the Free Federation,"

A guy speaking universal language stepped out and broke the silence first.

The remaining few people saw this and did not continue to leave.

This study group, although their courses were different, they were supported by powerful factions behind them.

These young people from strong backgrounds generally liked to socialize.

They constantly expanded their social circles anytime, anywhere.

Of course.

There were also some exceptions here.

Baiyu wasn't fond of getting involved with these people who definitely brought big trouble. For him, safety was most important.

However.

Everyone stayed behind.

If he were to leave alone, it would draw attention, so he sat in the classroom, not leaving or speaking.

Quietly seated in the corner.

Waiting until the others finished introducing themselves, he then introduced himself: "My name is Yu, from East Prosperity."

The East Prosperity Imperial's renown was rather high.

Of the eight people, only one was from the Northern Continent; the remaining seven were from well-known countries or factions on the Southern Continent.

There was the Free Federation, the Nation of Ten Thousand Artifacts, the Great Yan Dynasty, and the East Prosperity Imperial.

These forces.

Were all renowned, ruling and dominating that region.

There were also a few from cross-national organizations.

With such massive institutional support, they were able to join the small classes at the holy Purple Crystal School, taught by the best teachers.

After the eight had gotten to know each other and familiarized themselves with each other's code names, this post-class gathering ended.

...

The next day.

Baiyu got up from the dormitory, ready to go to the school training ground to practice Blood Qi, only to be met by a student walking briskly towards him, with a striking patch of youthful white hair.

"Baiyu, I've found the person you're looking for,"

The guy walked up to Baiyu, winked and said, "This information is not simple, it took me quite a lot of effort."

This was the "information broker" Baiyu had found in recent days.

On a college campus like this, there weren't a few people selling information; if you needed it, you just had to ask around and you'd find someone.

Baiyu didn't know this man's real name, only the nickname Little Ghost, who was responsible for Level Five freshman data.

After all.

Level Five freshmen were generally the easiest to get information on and handle.

If you wanted to find higher-level students, the risks encountered would be greater.

After returning from the Bounty Hunter Association, Baiyu sought out the person, asking him to collect information on the task target.

Days later.

This person had clearly completed this simple commission.

"The person you're looking for is a freshman at the Investigation Academy, named Jie Shanlie. Look, here's his detailed information, a total of fifty Silver Snake Coin,"

Little Ghost pulled a stack of printed materials from the backpack behind him.

There were also photos attached.

Baiyu swiftly flipped through the documents, carefully compared the photos, and after confirming the accuracy, readily paid fifty Silver Snake Coins.

Little Ghost cheerfully accepted the money, "I love doing business with straightforward people like you. If you need any information in the future, just let me know.

Not only for freshmen, but I can gather information on Level Four or even Level Three students.

Prices are guaranteed to be fair.

And absolutely confidential; no third person will know about our transaction."

"Alright, I'll let you know next time,"

Baiyu nodded and returned to the dormitory, carefully studying the task target's information.

Jie Shanlie isn't someone who likes going out.

Based on records since enrolling in recent days, his life is very routine, basically just dormitory, training ground, classroom, cafeteria.

Moreover, his time to each place is especially fixed.

The daily time difference doesn't exceed five minutes.

This is an extremely disciplined person with strong self-control; unless in special circumstances, he absolutely won't leave the school.

Baiyu was a bit troubled.

Was his first assignment as a Bounty Hunter in the Great City about to be a bust?

Honestly speaking.

His task was just to report the whereabouts to the client; it's a bit like being a private detective.

Regarding whether the person went out or not.

He really didn't have control over that.

But if he never goes out, his mission counts as a failure because the client requests had been specifically to report the target's outings.

"Forget it, failure is failure,"

Baiyu didn't mind too much; after all, he wasn't short of money now. He took on this task merely to improve his Bounty Hunter Level and gain some experience.

However.

When Baiyu arrived at the ATM planning to withdraw some money to deal with any emergency using the card given by the Third Prince, he found the card was frozen.

Many times.

You often don't know which comes first, tomorrow or an unexpected situation.

Baiyu's face showed a hint of awkwardness; if the card couldn't withdraw, then all the money he had left was fifty Silver Snake Coins.

Ugh...

This was still the task deposit.

"Did something happen to the Third Prince?" Baiyu fiddled with the card in his hand, speculating secretly.

If nothing happened.

Then the card given by the Third Prince couldn't possibly be frozen.

The only explanation was either the money association went bankrupt, or the funds stored in the association were temporarily frozen.

This money association was one of the top ones on Canglan Star, standing incredibly firm.

So to speak.

The problem must have occurred on the Third Prince's side.

Considering that recently, there was fierce power struggle and profit war within the East Prosperity Imperial, it was hard not to think of this.

Nonetheless.

Baiyu wasn't clear about the current situation nor could he assist.

However, a very urgent matter was now before him.

That is money.

As the saying goes, a penny can make things difficult for a hero; in the holy Purple Crystal School, to survive, you need either money or students.

Silver Snake Coin and academic credits.

Are the hard currency here.

The holy Purple Crystal School isn't a charity organization, and compared to other Martial Arts Schools, the tuition fees here are higher, as are the living costs.

Now with no economic source.

Baiyu must find a way to earn money.

The bounty task that seemed optional to him before has now become Baiyu's only source of income.

Especially since there haven't been any official classes yet.

There's no way to earn academic credits, only relying on Silver Snake Coins to survive.
