This feeling is just... so damn satisfying

"Teacher, there's nothing wrong with my competition process, right?"

Lu Xiaobai wore a smile as he looked at the middle-aged man who had just demanded to check his video.

Principal He fell silent upon hearing this.

Although the other party's competition process was outrageous, looking at it as a whole, it really left people speechless.

After a long while, he nodded and said:

"It didn't violate the principles. The only inappropriate part is that your team exceeded four people. Fifty points will be deducted as a penalty!"

Lu Xiaobai had been staying with The Pig, Cow, and Sheep Trio, and halfway through, Jiang Yi and others who were responsible for leading the way appeared. This caused the team size to exceed the limit, but this would only result in a small penalty of deducting some points.

"Teacher, it's fine, deduct as much as you want, just deduct ten times that amount from me!"

Lu Xiaobai naturally understood the rules. He immediately waved his hand grandly and said forthrightly.

"..."

Everyone looked speechless.

With your more than 20,000 points, even if a few hundred points are deducted, it wouldn't hurt at all...

At this time, Wei Wenshi said with a face full of smiles:

"Principal Lan, you should announce the results."

His eyes were full of smugness, and even his posture straightened up a bit.

It had been almost a year, and their class had finally taken first place, and with such an overwhelming advantage at that. This feeling was really...

Too awesome!

The four principals exchanged glances, looking helpless, and finally announced the results...

And with the announcement of the rankings,

Lu Xiaobai looked at the text message floating before his eyes, also smiling so widely that he couldn't close his mouth.

[Three-star mission 'Secure first place on both leaderboards in the wilderness combat training' completed]

[Reward obtained: Starry Sky Points * 3]

"So comfortable..."

Lu Xiaobai chuckled, feeling thoroughly refreshed...

These were three Starry Sky Points, enough to instantly level up any Star Skill or Special Skill by three levels. This was already worth decades of hard work for others!

"I'm not in a hurry to use them for now, I'll save them."

He hadn't decided which Star Skill to upgrade yet, so naturally, he decided to save them for later.

If any special situation arose again, he could completely use them for an emergency like this time...

After all, if it weren't for the level four [Empty Hands], he might not have been able to steal the energy cores so smoothly.

"Student Lu..."

At this moment, Principal Lan's gaze turned toward him. He hesitated for a moment but still said:

"Those energy cores..."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaobai chuckled and said:

"Don't worry, Teacher. Since I damaged them, I should naturally compensate for them. When the time comes, not a single core will be missing, and they will be reinstalled into those mechanical octopuses."

He didn't care at all. Those mechanical octopuses were just basic models, and their market price was only over 200,000 each.

Moreover, he had only damaged the cores. He could buy one for around 100,000, and all of them added up to just over a million.

He didn't even need to notify his family; he could easily pay for it himself. After all, he had previously received a two million reward from the federal government for capturing the Star Bug race...

Principal Lan nodded, then looked at his students and said:

"Since the competition is over, we'll take our leave first."

"Don't go. According to past procedures, we still need to have some academic exchange."

Wei Wenshi hurriedly stopped them.

He hadn't shown off enough yet, so naturally, he didn't want to let the others leave so easily...

Principal Lan glanced at him and said calmly:

"Old Wei, we still have to go back and scrape together the money. If we go back a day late, the students' rewards..."

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Wei Wenshi instantly patted his head and said:

"Look at my memory, I forgot. The rewards this time are different from before. You still have to go back and sell everything to scrape together the money."

"In that case, I won't delay the four of you. However, if you need loan services, you can let me know. I have friends who are in this business. Don't worry, they are all legal loan sharks!"

"..."

Principal Lan and the other three twitched the corners of their eyes, muttering in their hearts.

If it's a loan shark, how the hell can it be legal!

How come they didn't realize before that this Old Know-it-all was so detestable...

"Goodbye, everyone!"

Wei Wenshi didn't care about what the four of them thought. He still had a face full of smiles, and at the same time, he called his students to board the spaceship.

Soon, the people from the Starlight Elite Class vanished from the area.

Principal Lan and the other three exchanged bitter glances.

This time, they knew what it meant to shoot themselves in the foot...

After all, Wei Wenshi didn't want to agree to the request to increase the stakes earlier; he was just pressured into it by the four of them. In the end, it turned out that they had to pay out of their own pockets...

Principal He remained silent and muttered:

"I finally wanted to earn some resources for the students, but it ended up like this. Capital, you win!"

"..."

The other three principals had incredibly bizarre expressions upon hearing this.

However, thinking of Lu Xiaobai's background and family, it seemed like capital really did win this time...

...

An hour later.

Wei Wenshi and Lu Xiaobai were alone in a cabin.

"Xiaobai, the Star Skill you used in the sea belongs to the Interstellar Thief King from back then, right?"

"As expected of the Know-it-all Principal, you can even tell that."

Lu Xiaobai nodded and admitted it directly.

This Star Skill would be exposed sooner or later anyway.

However, even so, it wouldn't have any impact on him. The Thief King's reputation was so great back then, but still, hardly anyone could guard against his [Empty Hands].

Knowing about it was one thing, but being able to guard against it was another matter entirely...

Hearing the other party call him 'Know-it-all', Wei Wenshi looked a bit embarrassed and hurriedly changed the subject:

"The Lu family is indeed the Lu family, to be able to get their hands on this Special Skill."

"..."

Lu Xiaobai chuckled and didn't explain that he had gotten this Special Skill from those siblings.

After all, those two were too weak right now. Once the news was exposed, the Jin family would definitely try to wipe them out...

"Also, if I'm not mistaken, you also possess a Star Skill for self-harm and healing, right?"

Wei Wenshi's expression shifted slightly as he spoke in a certain tone.

"Hmm?"

Lu Xiaobai was slightly taken aback, then understood that the other party had mistaken [Fake Injury] for two different Star Skills...

Actually, not to mention Wei Wenshi, even people from several other top factions thought so. They even thought about using some Star Skills that suppressed healing effects to counter the Lu family's [Fake Injury]...

Seeing the principal looking so certain, Lu Xiaobai naturally wouldn't explain anything. Instead, he gave a thumbs up and said:

"As expected of the principal, you really know a lot!"

"Haha! Nothing can be hidden from this old man."

Wei Wenshi wore a look of pride, his heart once again won over by his own wisdom...

"..."

Lu Xiaobai had a weird expression but didn't say anything more.

"However, although your vitality level is low, kid, you actually know how to combine and use multiple Star Skills. Your brain really works quite well; you can even compare with this old man!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Principal."

Lu Xiaobai smiled.

The only reason he managed to rack up such a massive amount of points this time was indeed due to the combination of [Sleight of Hand] and [Feign Injury]. Without either of these skills, it would have been absolutely impossible to farm such an absurd score...
