No, What Did You All Understand

Wei Wenshi waved his hand and then said, looking slightly distressed,

"For Starlight Middle School to take first place this time, you are the top contributor. However, since you are a direct descendant of the Lu family, you probably don't lack anything. I really don't know what to give you as a reward."

If it were an ordinary student, Alliance Coins, potions, or various supplements could all serve as rewards.

But Lu Xiaobai was different. The wealth of this guy's family was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine...

Hearing this, Lu Xiaobai raised an eyebrow and said,

"Teacher, actually, I'm quite interested in Star Skills with special effects. They don't need to be too amazing, something on the level of the Thief King Skill would do."

"And you call that 'not too amazing'?!"

Wei Wenshi looked speechless.

The Intergalactic Great Thief King was able to make such a huge name for himself relying precisely on that miraculous stealing skill...

"Uh... something a bit worse than that is fine too, as long as it has a special effect!"

Lu Xiaobai rubbed his hands together, his face full of anticipation.

"..."

Wei Wenshi sighed and said directly,

"The Star Skill Stones with special effects you mentioned are far too rare. I can only ask my friends to help keep an eye out."

Although he was a middle school principal, he was only an intermediate Star Martial Artist. He only had some ordinary combat Star Skill Stones on him, which held no great value for Lu Xiaobai...

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Principal."

Lu Xiaobai wasn't disappointed.

After all, special skills like Fake Injury and Sleight of Hand were indeed extremely rare, and he hadn't held out much hope in his heart anyway.

"It's just a small matter, and I can't guarantee I'll get any relevant news."

Wei Wenshi nodded, then continued,

"By the way, once the competition rewards are deposited, I will reimburse you for the energy cores you had to compensate for, and then we will separately calculate your placement reward."

After all, in his eyes, the other party had blown up so many mechanical octopuses just to help the school win honor, so it was only natural to try and make up for his losses.

"Teacher, you can distribute it however you see fit."

Lu Xiaobai didn't care too much when he heard this.

Although it was a joint reward from the five schools, it was nothing more than Alliance Coins, potions, and the like, which weren't actually of much use to him.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back first."

"Go on."

Wei Wenshi chuckled and said,

"I'm getting ready to start a video call with the other four principals to have some academic exchanges."

"..."

Lu Xiaobai had a strange expression on his face.

Academic exchange was a fake excuse; he was afraid this Know-it-all was just thinking about showing off to the other four...

A few minutes later,

Lu Xiaobai returned to the cabin where the students were staying.

"Brother Lu, you're amazing!"

"Over twenty thousand points! I couldn't even dream of someone getting that many points. You were on an absolute killing spree!"

"Brother, thanks to you, our Starlight Middle School can finally hold its head high!"

As soon as everyone saw him appear, their eyes were filled with admiration, and they looked extremely enthusiastic.

After this competition, everyone's attitude towards him had completely changed. After all, the whole class had benefited because of him alone...

Seeing this, Lu Xiaobai smiled and said,

"You guys don't need to be like this. I also gained a huge harvest this time myself."

The harvest he was referring to was naturally his three Starry Sky Points.

But when everyone heard this, they felt that he was just being humble despite his great contributions.

After all, once he deducted the energy cores he had to compensate for, he wouldn't actually get much of a reward, so where was this big harvest?

Moreover, if they hadn't taken first place, the rewards obtained wouldn't even have been enough to cover his losses. The risk and reward of this action were completely out of proportion.

But for the sake of the class, he had still resolutely done it!

For a moment,

Everyone's eyes were filled with emotion, completely won over by his charisma...

"Huh?"

Looking at everyone's expressions, Lu Xiaobai was also dumbfounded and couldn't help but say,

"No, what's wrong with all of you?"

"Brother Lu, you don't need to say anything more. We all understand in our hearts!"

"Yeah, we won't say much else, but if you ever need anything from us brothers in the future, just say the word!"

"Although we don't have powerful strength and aren't from any major factions, as long as there is a need, it just takes one word from you, Brother Lu!"

"..."

Looking at everyone acting as if they were willing to go through fire and water for him, Lu Xiaobai was still completely bewildered in his heart.

No, what exactly did you all understand?

Although he was confused, he smartly chose not to show it. After all, building a good relationship with everyone only had benefits and no drawbacks for him.

If The Pig, Cow, and Sheep Trio and the others hadn't helped lead the way this time, it would have been impossible for him to farm points so efficiently.

Sometimes, even inconspicuous people could play a huge role...

Half a day passed,

Everyone returned to Starlight Middle School.

"Everyone, take a rest and relax today. Official classes will resume tomorrow!"

Wei Wenshi left them with this sentence and then went back to busily showing off to his circle of friends...

Hearing this, everyone didn't show any signs of excitement. The vast majority of them still consciously headed to the Star Martial Arts Hall to study.

"Little Lei, I'll head back first."

Seeing that the siblings Lin Xue'er and Lin Lei'er were also preparing to head to the Star Martial Arts Hall, Lu Xiaobai spoke up.

He wasn't as hardworking as the others. After all, he was already guaranteed a spot in the top ten Starry Sky Academies.

Besides, the past few days of living in the wild had left him sleep-deprived and craving good food. He just wanted to enjoy a delicious meal cooked by Old Hu and then get a good sleep.

Hearing this, Lin Lei'er nodded and said,

"Alright, Brother Lu, you go back first. I'll just take the hover train myself tonight."

Lu Xiaobai didn't stay any longer and left the teaching building with Ah Da.

Half an hour later,

"First, I need to replace the mechanical octopuses' energy cores..."

Lu Xiaobai logged onto the universal network and was browsing the shopping page of Shenji Company. This was a company opened by the top-tier Liu family and was also the largest smart machinery company on the market.

Soon, he successfully found the energy cores he wanted.

"One hundred and twenty thousand for one. Not bad, acceptable."

His expression shifted slightly, and he decisively placed an order, buying twelve of them in one breath.

At the same time, he directly asked customer service to send someone to the Sandstone Sea Area on the Ancestral Planet to reinstall these twelve energy cores into the mechanical octopuses.

This service was free, as it wasn't a troublesome matter for professionals.

"That settles this matter."

Lu Xiaobai looked at the more than 1.4 million that had been deducted from his card and muttered to himself,

"My little treasury has been emptied again..."

He shook his head, but thinking that there would be competition rewards to make up for the loss, he didn't care too much in his heart.

"It's almost the end of the month, and my living expenses will refresh. That'll be another two hundred thousand Alliance Coins..."

As a direct descendant of the Lu family, he really didn't lack money...

Just then,

The white-bearded butler pushed in a dining cart, upon which sat a dozen or so mouth-watering dishes.

"Smells amazing!"

Lu Xiaobai's eyes lit up, and he directly began to feast.

He was almost sick of eating sashimi over the past few days...

After savoring the delicious meal, Lu Xiaobai lay down on his large bed and drifted off into a sweet sleep...
