The Era of Gods-Chapter 237 - : Game Rules (Request for Monthly Pass)
Chapter 237: Chapter 237: Game Rules (Request for Monthly Pass)
The class teacher paused, and his aggressive gaze softened slightly as he said:
“You have a month to consider, and if I don’t have an answer before the next major class, it will be considered an automatic forfeiture.”
After leaving the class teacher’s office, Lin Xiao walked while pondering.
The class teacher’s proposal
He was quite tempted.
After all, just as Jin Sisi had said, he came from an ordinary background, and under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for him to gain access to such top-tier resources and opportunities.
There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and resources don’t just appear out of nowhere.
Just like the resources he was now getting from Glorious, they came as a result of him joining Glorious. In the future, if he grew and Glorious needed him, he wouldn’t be able to get away.
Of course, with the vast power of Glorious, it was unlikely that anything would happen—it was practically a free ride.
But that’s how rules work, once something happens, he wouldn’t be able to escape.
The immense resources held by Jin Sisi were not free for the taking; they could only be exchanged for a price, and the condition for the exchange was this so- called “privilege.”
At this time, Lin Xiao was more mature than before he had entered Glorious, much more cautious in character, for people grow with time. He had not dared to agree immediately without understanding the situation clearly; he had to figure out what this so-called privilege was, and how much power it entailed.
On his way, he searched the campus network, entering “Prodigy Sub-Ranking Privilege” as the keyword.
Then he looked through a heap of content, checking one by one, and after a hundred or so, none was what he wanted to know.
He didn’t continue searching afterward, knowing for sure that such information couldn’t be found online—it was blocked.
But he had a way. If there was no news on the internet, then he would find someone who might know, like his little aunt.
He immediately sent her a message full of affection, casually asking her about it at the end.
It took a while before Shen Yuexin replied:
“The class teacher is gathering several students for special training, I don’t have time; you ask my brother, I’ve told him, just contact him directly.” emmm
Special training?
Contact the big brother-in-law.
Truth be told, he was reluctant. This big brother-in-law seemed to have a temperament and was stingy. However, since his little aunt had mentioned it, it seemed improper not to contact him. What if he came over to hit me?
He contacted a strange number provided by Shen Yuexin, thought it over, and asked the same question again.
Then there was no response, and he didn’t dare to rush him.
He ate his dinner back in the dorm, and without his permission, a projection popped up, transforming into the image of his big brother-in-law. He scrutinized the dormitory and said:
“What do you want to ask?”
Lin Xiao put on an ingratiating smile and went over the question once more.
“Asking knowingly, it must be deliberate.”
Xia Yu, after listening, turned to look at Lin Xiao, sizing him up with a strange gaze, and said:
“Did that little girl Jin Sisi take a liking to you?”
“Cough, it’s my class teacher.”
The way this was phrased could give someone the wrong impression.
“That’s a good thing, why not agree?”
This virtual projection seemed a bit different, even managing to sit down on his bed and, stroking the sheets, said:
“You are so poor, on your own, you’d almost have no chance of being listed on the Prodigy Sub-Ranking before the college entrance exam. Now that a rich woman is offering to take care of you, that’s a good thing.”

Lin Xiao knew the brother-in-law did not look favorably on him. He grinned sheepishly and said in a soft voice:
“Brother, what exactly is this privilege?”
“It’s nothing much, you can think of it as an Infinite Wish Art from the will of Gaia, which can satisfy any of your wishes within the rules, including allowing you to ignite the Divine Fire and ascend to godhood instantly without any side effects.”
Lin Xiao’s eyes suddenly widened in surprise. In that moment, he thought of a legend—the supreme lord of the Toriel Crystal Wall Universe, His Majesty Ao, apparently possessed the terrifying divine power to deify mortals in an instant. This led to the speculation, could the Gaia Will be the supreme god of the Main World?
While he was reflecting, Xia Yu continued:
“Although this Infinite Wish Art is extremely precious, in the world, one must give to receive. You can’t possibly have all the good things to yourself. With your background, you’ve practically reached your limit getting to where you are now. If you want to go further, you need support, and you can agree.”
“Moreover, that little girl Jin Sisi likely wants this privilege to save her father. If successful, you would earn the favor of someone with the divine power of Level 19, an obligation of life-saving. It wouldn’t be less valuable than this privilege.” “Hisss, Level 19 divine power…”
Lin Xiao felt his brother-in-law had a point. He pondered for a bit and was about to speak when his disagreeable brother-in-law snorted and said:
“Don’t count on my sister. Although we don’t lack the resources, as a man, relying on your girlfriend’s handouts is not something you’d want.”
“Cough, actually, I’m willing…”
He didn’t dare speak out loud, fearing he would be hit.
“Alright, considering your recent good behavior and honesty, I won’t beat you. Remember, until you meet our expectations, keep your hands to yourself and don’t bully my sister.”
Two sword and saber shadows crossed in front of him, and the menacing silhouette of his eldest brother-in-law just disappeared like that.
This big brother-in-law is really…
Lin Xiao was speechless.
Fortunately, although the big brother-in-law didn’t like him, he wouldn’t deceive him on account of his little aunt.
If it was as Xia Yu had said, this really was a good deal. A favor from a Powerful Divine Power, just one step away from great divine power, at God Level 19, was truly as valuable as this authority. The only difference was that the authority seemed more omnipotent with a higher limit, but favors were ongoing.
Lin Xiao was not one to dilly-dally, and he quickly made up his mind.
He immediately contacted his homeroom teacher, saying,
“I agree to the teacher’s proposal!”
Soon, Jin Sisi’s projection personally transmitted to him. Slightly tilted, she said to Lin Xiao,
“You will never regret today’s decision.”
He could clearly feel the change in the homeroom teacher’s attitude toward him after his agreement. If before she merely saw him as a promising student, now they had become collaborators, and the conversation became a bit more cordial and friendly.
She said,
“Since you’ve agreed, then my investment in you starts now. Due to the rules, I cannot provide you with a large amount of resources for free, but I can facilitate things for you within the scope of the rules. For example, for each major class, you can specify the cards or rewards you need, or you can use the excess cards you have now to exchange for needed cards or other resources from me.”
“Any kind of resource?”
Lin Xiao immediately thought of something and asked.
Jin Sisi nodded,
“Everything!”
“You have no idea how terrifying the resources controlled by the homeroom teacher of an elite class in a high school affiliated with a Super Academy can be. Although they don’t belong to me, I have the full authority to manage them. Within my power, you can obtain almost anything you want.”
“What about Ancient Treasures?”
“How much do you want?”
“Damn!”
That swagger!
” I can reward you with Ancient Treasures during major classes and let you get them within permitted rules. But personally, I would advise you that at the current stage, you don’t need these Ancient Treasures. What you need is Divinity, as much as possible.”
Her beautiful, valorous face had an extremely serious expression as she told him,
“The midterm exam two months from now is one of the many great opportunities I have. Your Divinity Level then will relate to your initial advantage. You’d best elevate your Divinity Level to Level 4 within these two months.”
“I can do it.”
He now had fifteen points of Divinity. According to the conversion where four points of Rank 3 Divinity equalled one point, twenty points of Divinity would suffice, and he had just acquired twenty-seven points of Divinity. Along with the two remaining points in hand, he had a total of twenty-nine points, more than enough.
“In this major class, you obtained twenty-seven points of Divinity, eleven hundred units of Plane Origin, and a Blueprint for Steel Golem Manufacturing. The Divinity and blueprint you should keep for personal use, while I suggest you use these eleven hundred units of Plane Origin to exchange for what you need, such as Ancient Treasures or Divinity, or other necessary cards.”
“Your God Domain Strength has already reached Rank 7. To advance to the next rank, you’ll need a whole ten thousand units of Plane Origin, which is highly unlikely even with my help before college. It’s better to exchange them for something more suitable for you.”
Lin Xiao nodded; this was exactly his intention. He rubbed his hands together and asked,
“If I’m to exchange for complete Ancient Treasures, how many can I get? And what about Relic Fragments?”

Jin Sisi replied,
“If it’s a complete Ancient Treasure, within my authority, I can only exchange one Rank 1 Ancient Treasure for you. But I can choose the strongest masterpiece within Rank 1 for you. If it’s Relic Fragments, you can get about thirty pieces.”
“Can I pick out the fragments myself?”
“Fragments?”
Jin Sisi looked at him curiously and then nodded,
“Yes, you can.”
“Then, I would like to exchange for thirty Relic Fragments.”
“Are you sure?” freёweɓnovel.com
“Positive!”
“Alright then.”
She found Lin Xiao’s choice odd, but he must have had his reasons. Everyone has secrets, and she had no interest in probing into others’ secrets. She simply pressed her fingertips to her forehead for a moment, and when she opened her eyes and waved her hand, a series of differently sized and colored Relic Fragments, exuding an almost imperceptible aura, flew out and lined up before him. She looked at Lin Xiao and said,
“Although these are within my authority, our exchange has been reported.”
Lin Xiao nodded repeatedly, understanding that their exchange was under school surveillance, but he didn’t mind.
As long as it complied with the rules, that was all that mattered. He wasn’t interested in taking shortcuts or exploiting loopholes. Exchanging a thousand units of Plane Origin for any thirty Relic Fragments was a good deal indeed.
The number of Relic Fragments in Jin Sisi’s authorized inventory was astonishing, likely the accumulation of all Glorious Middle School Department stores over the years. These things were of no use to others, and as they accumulated generation after generation, the numbers had become quite exaggerated.
Lin Xiao carefully sensed these fragments, quickly glossing over them, specifically picking out those rich in Creation Energy.
To avoid undue suspicion, his fingers moved swiftly over them, selecting any with a sufficient amount of Creation Energy without comparing each one.
He quickly picked out thirty fragments and then took out eleven Gold cards containing a hundred units of Plane Origin each from his pocket and handed them to the homeroom teacher, completing the exchange.
