Chapter 606 - 592: Shopping Spree

Hearing the words "dual cultivation," Liu Miaomiao’s face instantly flushed red to the tips of her ears.

"Um..."

Liu Miaomiao was just about to say something, but Lin Xinghai pulled her away without another word.

However, Lin Xinghai didn’t head back to the dorms. Instead, he went to the academy’s resource exchange center.

Entering the main hall, Lin Xinghai walked directly to one of the exchange windows and said to the staff member inside, "Hello, I’d like to exchange for 2,100 Body Tempering Pills."

The female attendant was stunned for a moment, then she rubbed her ears and asked, "Excuse me, student, how many Body Tempering Pills did you say? I don’t think I heard you correctly. Did you say 21?"

After all, the price of a Body Tempering Pill on the outside was 20,000 Huaxia Coins each.

Even when exchanging with Credit Points, they were 2,000 points each. Anyone who could fork over 42,000 Credit Points in one go to buy 21 Body Tempering Pills would be considered quite wealthy among the students.

Lin Xinghai was taken aback. He could only slow his speech, stating word by word, "I want two thousand one hundred Body Tempering Pills."

"Student, if you’re deliberately causing trouble, I’m calling security," the female attendant’s expression instantly hardened.

"I don’t have time for jokes. Deduct the points and give me the Body Tempering Pills." Lin Xinghai took out his student ID and placed it on the counter.

The female attendant was about to say something more, but when she saw the special insignia for a Special Class Student on the ID card, her expression instantly became one of shock and uncertainty.

Especially when she saw the name Lin Xinghai, she immediately thought of the person who was currently the talk of the town, hailed as the number one genius of East Sea Academy.

She glanced at Lin Xinghai’s appearance, but unfortunately, as externally hired staff, they didn’t have the clearance to browse the campus forums and couldn’t confirm if he was the person himself.

Of course, that didn’t stop her from taking Lin Xinghai’s student card and placing it on the scanner to check. When she saw the 8-figure Credit Point balance on the card, her eyes instantly widened.

"Right away, sir. Please wait a moment." After confirming that Lin Xinghai truly had the Credit Points for the purchase, the attendant immediately had someone bring over the Body Tempering Pills.

It’s worth mentioning that 2,100 Body Tempering Pills should have cost 4,200,000 Credit Points.

However, Lin Xinghai had placed first in the entrance examination, so he enjoyed a 50% discount on all purchases within the academy. In the end, he only paid 2,100,000.

And after buying the Body Tempering Pills, Lin Xinghai asked for 1,000 Nine Yang Blood Pills.

Nine Yang Blood Pills were even more expensive, at 3,000 Credit Points each. Even with his discount, buying 1,000 of them still cost him 1,500,000 Credit Points.

After buying the elixirs, the next items on the list were the special alloys required for a Legendary Level Mecha.

"Can you calculate the price for the contents of this list?" Lin Xinghai activated the projection function on his wrist-mounted computer, showing the female attendant the list Little Fatty had sent him.

The female attendant, who had thought she was growing numb to the shocks, instantly became wary after seeing the contents of the list. "Student, these are all strategic materials. Although our academy can procure them, you need a valid reason, and it requires an approval process."

"I’ve commissioned a custom Legendary Level Mecha from Hongyu Group. All that’s left are these core components to complete it. That’s my reason. As for the approval, please hurry up and get it reviewed for me," Lin Xinghai said.

Hearing the reason Lin Xinghai gave, the female attendant was utterly dumbfounded.

You have to understand, Hongyu Group was a corporate behemoth. Even the academy’s instructors would find it next to impossible to custom-order a Rare Level Mecha from them.

As for a Legendary Level Mecha, many powerhouses who had just advanced to the Divine Demon Realm didn’t even have one yet!

Yet the first thing Lin Xinghai mentioned was a Legendary Level Mecha. ’What incredible nerve!’

To be honest, if she didn’t know that the person before her was likely the academy’s number one genius, and if he didn’t have such a colossal amount of Credit Points in his account, she absolutely would not have bothered with him.

But now, even with immense doubt in her heart, she could only nod. "Alright, I’ll submit the application for you with that reason. However, the amount of strategic resources you’re purchasing is quite large, so the review process is usually lengthy. It will take at least a week or more to get a response, so you’ll have to be pa—"

The female attendant’s words caught in her throat before she could finish, because the moment she clicked the application button, a message immediately displayed: Approval Granted.

"The system must be malfunctioning, right?" she couldn’t help but mutter under her breath.

According to the standard review procedure, even if it was fast-tracked, it should have taken the better part of a day at a minimum. An instant approval like this was simply impossible.

However, when she clicked to view the details, she was even more shocked, because it had been automatically approved by the system.

This kind of thing usually only happened with high-level academy officials. Because as long as their authority level exceeded the required level for the material review, their requests could be approved directly.

’Judging by the amount of resources Lin Xinghai applied for, if he can get direct approval, doesn’t that mean he has at least A Level clearance?’

Upon guessing this possibility, her breathing quickened.

She first ran a system diagnostic to confirm there were no errors, then saved a backup of the entire application process. Only then did she compose herself and look at Lin Xinghai again.
