Chapter 38: My Brain Works Pretty Well

"Elder Cai, can I have that Destiny Skull from earlier?" Xu Yuan asked.

The corner of Cai Yue'er's mouth twitched.

You little brat, don't be too outrageous.

How could they possibly possess the skull of a Rui beast?

"We told you to make a reasonable request. We could even satisfy you if you wanted a 100,000-year soul bone."

Xu Yuan nodded.

"I'd like to know if Shrek has a library? A database of some sort."

Cai Yue'er didn't expect Xu Yuan to ask this question.

She nodded.

"Of course, we do."

"What about meditation techniques? Are there records of the meditation techniques of past Shrek seniors?"

Xu Yuan had a few questions, but he wanted to understand more before making a request. The more he asked, the more cautious he seemed.

"Yes."

"Then I want permanent access to Shrek's database to consult materials." Xu Yuan made his decision.

Cai Yue'er frowned.

This could be achieved, but was Xu Yuan being wasteful by choosing this request?

Studying theory?

A seven-year-old child, studying theory is fine, but Xu Yuan already has too many development branches. Does he still want to add theoretical research at this time?

However, considering that Xu Yuan's most crucial question was whether there were records of past seniors' meditation techniques, she breathed a sigh of relief, guessing that Xu Yuan might not be studying theory, but rather wanting to improve something through the meditation techniques of his predecessors.

But this was also far beyond the content that Xu Yuan should be involved in at this stage. Cai Yue'er was still worried that Xu Yuan would neglect his cultivation as a result.

"Okay."

Cai Yue'er hesitated, but Zhuo Shi, who was beside her, spoke up.

Of the three examiners in the final stage of this assessment, one was Cai Yue'er, and Zhuo Shi was one of the other two.

Cai Yue'er glanced at Zhuo Shi in confusion, but she didn't refute him on the spot.

And just like that, Xu Yuan's perfect score reward was decided.

Xu Yuan and the others directly entered the inner courtyard.

Wang Hao, as a senior currently studying in the inner courtyard, also took on the task of taking the younger students to school.

"Senior, what do we inner courtyard disciples need to do?" Xu Lizhi asked.

"The main task of inner courtyard disciples is to cultivate, upgrade their Douluo Armor, and of course, the academy will also issue some tasks during this process." Wang Hao looked at the three and introduced them to the life in the inner courtyard: "You are too young to do anything. These years should be mainly focused on cultivation. The seniors in the inner courtyard can all be said to be your teachers."

"See that? That is the Sea God Pavilion. Ordinary inner courtyard students may not even be qualified to enter." Wang Hao glanced at the three with envy.

Obviously, Xu Yuan and the others had a chance.

"Junior Xu Yuan passed the inner courtyard assessment with a perfect score, and you two also passed the assessment at the same time. It is estimated that you will be allowed to go to the Sea God Pavilion during the formal admission ceremony in a few days."

The admission ceremony was for the outer courtyard.

Most of the students in the inner courtyard were promoted from the outer courtyard, so there was no admission ceremony. At most, they would celebrate on their own.

However, there were also special circumstances, such as Xu Yuan and the others who directly entered the inner courtyard. Naturally, there would be an admission ceremony, but it would not be held together with the outer courtyard.

With Xu Yuan's perfect score this time, entering the Sea God Pavilion was inevitable.

"Alright, there aren't many things to pay attention to. I actually mentioned them all to you just now. The most important thing is cultivation. This requires your own efforts."

Wang Hao took the three to the dormitory area and left.

"Let's each tidy up our dorms first."

The dormitories of the inner courtyard disciples were all individual villas, independent houses.

The three of Xu Yuan each chose an empty house, put all the daily necessities in place, cleaned the room, and reunited at Xu Yuan's door.

"Senior Wang Hao said that all transactions in the academy are conducted through contribution points. How much do you all have in your cards?"

Xu Lizhi scratched his head and said, "I have five hundred in my card."

"Five hundred." Ye Xinglan also had five hundred.

Xu Yuan nodded and said, "I have a thousand points."

"When Senior Wang Hao introduced us, he said that in addition to food expenses, everything in the academy depends on contribution points. We should first figure out the value of contribution points, and at the same time, we must figure out how to earn contribution points."

"Brother Xu Yuan, what do you say we should do?" Xu Lizhi asked.

Ye Xinglan was not good at words, but she also looked like she was listening to Xu Yuan.

"Earning contribution points is nothing more than transactions or tasks. For transactions, we should only be the party spending contribution points at this stage. For tasks, I don't know if forging and other sub-professional jobs count. By the way, what are your two sub-professions?" Xu Yuan asked.

"I am a mecha repairman," Xu Lizhi said.

"I am a mecha manufacturer," Ye Xinglan said.

"What level are you both?"

"Level two." × 2

Xu Yuan understood.

"Level two should already be able to accept some tasks in the corresponding association to earn money. By the same logic, our academy should have similar associations, and we should be able to earn contribution points through the association."

Xu Lizhi and Ye Xinglan nodded.

"Of course, there is no need to rush if we haven't encountered a place that requires contribution points yet." Xu Yuan led the two to find the cafeteria.

Xu Yuan was a person from two lifetimes, but Xu Lizhi and Ye Xinglan were really only seven-year-old children.

Under Xu Yuan's mature tone and inexplicable leadership aura, Xu Lizhi and Ye Xinglan were also very obedient.

The three were the only three special recruits who passed the assessment in recent years. They belonged to the youngest in the inner courtyard. There would be a lot of communication, and Xu Yuan quickly established his core position.

While eating, Xu Yuan taught the little fatty the soul power operation skills of the Heaven Devouring Earth Engulfing Great Art.

I don't know if it was a talent problem, or if he was full of motivation, but the little fatty had already entered the door after a meal.

As a reward, the little fatty happily ate 10% more food than usual.

Ye Xinglan frowned throughout the entire process.

She was very much against the little foodie eating so much, as being too fat is bad for the body.

"My Heaven Swallowing Earth Devouring Art strengthens not only the digestion ability but also the absorption ability. As long as the little fatty doesn't slack off on physical training, he won't get fat."

"Little fatty, practice the Heaven Swallowing Earth Devouring Art well. This ultimate skill still needs improvement, and I'm counting on you."

Xu Lizhi nodded fiercely.

"I just inquired, and the academy does indeed have associations for all sub-occupations. I also got the approximate locations, so the three of us will go join the associations first."

"Mm-hmm."

"Big Brother Xu Yuan, aren't we going to split up? By the way, Big Brother Xu Yuan, what is your sub-occupation?" Xu Lizhi asked curiously.

"Just call me Brother Yuan from now on," Xu Yuan said, "As for my sub-occupations, I've learned mecha design, mecha manufacturing, and mecha repair. I've also reached the second level as a blacksmith."

"Ah?" Xu Lizhi was stunned, saying in disbelief, "Brother Xu Yuan, you've learned four sub-occupations?"

Ye Xinglan also had a ghostly expression.

Where did you get the time to learn so many things?

One occupation is already enough to almost kill you.

Xu Yuan smiled and pointed to his head.

"My brain is more useful."

My brain is above everyone else's!

Chapter 39: The Problem of Martial Soul Existence

At the Mecha Manufacturing Association, Xu Yuan and Ye Xinglan participated in the assessment together and became members of the Shrek Mecha Manufacturing Association.

"Both of you are second-level mecha manufacturers, and you can also undertake some mecha parts manufacturing. You can take on tasks through the association's channels. The association will only take a 5% cut, and the rest will all belong to you. In addition, as long as you can complete five tasks each month, the association will also give you a reward of one thousand contribution points."

Joining the association has its benefits.

For example, the reward of one thousand contribution points. According to what Xu Yuan knows, the value of contribution points is extremely high. Even when exchanging, one hundred Federal Coins cannot be exchanged for one contribution point. This also means that the value of one thousand contribution points exceeds one hundred thousand Federal Coins.

Just completing five tasks is enough.

"Since both of you are inner court students, the association can provide you with exclusive workshops."

"By the way, this is the association's schedule of courses. If you have time, or are interested in a part being explained by a senior or teacher, you can come to the association to watch and learn, but you will have to pay contribution points."

The association's benefits were quite comprehensive. After Xu Yuan and Ye Xinglan understood the benefits, they quickly left the Mecha Manufacturing Association.

The next stop was the Mecha Repair Association. Compared to the Mecha Manufacturing Association, this place was slightly less crowded. Xu Yuan and Xu Lizhi quickly lined up to take the assessment.

The benefits were similar to those of the Mecha Manufacturing Association, and Xu Yuan and Xu Lizhi were also able to enjoy similar treatment at the Mecha Repair Association.

Xu Yuan also didn't receive a warning saying that he could only receive one subsistence allowance.

As long as they could complete the tasks of their respective associations, then taking a few subsistence allowances was fine.

Calculating it this way, Xu Yuan could receive at least four subsistence allowances.

That is four thousand contribution points. Adding the contribution point income from completing the tasks themselves, he could earn about seven or eight thousand contribution points a month.

No, there's still one more association.

After the Mecha Manufacturing Association and the Mecha Repair Association, Xu Yuan had the two accompany him to complete the assessments for the Mecha Design Association and the Blacksmith Association.

In total, Xu Yuan registered with all four sub-occupation associations, all as second-level professionals.

"Let's go, there's still one more association," Xu Yuan led the two to the last association.

Mecha Master Association.

The four associations joined earlier were associations formed by sub-occupation professionals, while the Mecha Master Association was an association formed by mecha masters within the academy, which could also customize mechas for students.

It's just a pity that the students who come to Shrek Academy all want to become Battle Armor Masters, and they don't have much interest in mecha masters. Therefore, the Mecha Master Association is the most depressed association in the entire Shrek Academy.

But this doesn't mean that the Mecha Master Association is useless.

At least, the benefits that should be there are still there. For example, professionals from the four major occupations can cooperate with the Mecha Master Association.

After all, the production and upgrading of mechas cannot be separated from the four major occupation professionals. Even if the Mecha Master Association mostly signs agreements directly with the other four major associations and hires cooperation from other associations to carry out customization, the Mecha Master Association itself also has its own professionals.

It can only be said that the main body is completed by itself, and the parts are outsourced to the sub-occupation associations.

Xu Yuan led Xu Lizhi and Ye Xinglan to the Mecha Master Association, joined it, and became a professional of the association, and could also receive tasks from here.

"Our level is not high. Even if we receive tasks from the Mecha Manufacturing Association and other associations, they are all scattered tasks. We don't have a comprehensive understanding of the effects and uses of the parts we make. The tasks of the Mecha Master Association are systematic, and many mecha manufacturers cooperate to carry out the manufacturing, so there are more opportunities for communication and learning," Xu Yuan explained to the two.

After joining the association, Xu Lizhi and Ye Xinglan returned to their dormitories and began to cultivate.

Xu Yuan came to the academy's library.

At the beginning, Cai Yue'er said that even if Xu Yuan wanted a 100,000-year soul bone, the Sea God Pavilion could not disagree with such a request, but Xu Yuan was not stupid.

If he really made such a request, the impression score would be secondary, the most important thing was when he could get the 100,000-year soul bone.

Even Shrek Academy, does it really have 100,000-year soul bones stored at all times?

Even if there is, can't they tell you that there are no 100,000-year soul bones temporarily, and wait for an opportunity to give them to you?

Which academy can give you a 100,000-year soul bone when you just enter school? Even if there is inventory, you have to wait a few years and observe your character before giving it to you.

Moreover, even if you get it, when will Xu Yuan be able to fuse the 100,000-year soul bone?
