Chapter 198

All kinds of thanks will do.

Zhao Chi thought for a moment, then said

"First, I want to thank my chief instructor Li Ruanyu. When I was at my lowest, she never gave up on me, and she helped me enormously by supplementing my foundational knowledge. Thank you, Instructor Li."

Li Ruanyu smiled softly, tilting her head as she looked at Zhao Chi.

There was a trace of tenderness in her eyes.

"Next, I want to thank our Class 4 monitor Lu Yi. Her theoretical knowledge is excellent, and whenever I had a problem, I would always ask her first. She always answered patiently. Thank you, Lu Yi."

The students around Lu Yi all looked at her, and Lu Yi smiled.

"Damn it…" Cao Feng cursed softly.

Zhao Chi continued: "After that, my friend Yang Xiong. There's nothing much to say, just thanks for his unwavering support."

Hearing this, Yang Xiong excitedly shouted out from the audience again, out of nowhere.

Though it was a bit foolish, Yang Xiong didn't care.

"Then I also want to thank the year-level chief instructor You Shengjun, as well as all the chief instructors and instructors. Every instructor gave me professional guidance on the problems in each subject. Thank you."

"Finally, thank you to Dean Liao Zheng, for shielding us from a lot of unnecessary trouble and letting us study in a relatively safe environment. Thank you, Dean Liao."

"Thank you, the Eighth Academy."

Zhao Chi gave Liao Zheng a nod, signaling he was done.

Liao Zheng laughed: "Zhao Chi, you've covered everyone in your thanks. Go back and prepare well this time. If you take first place again next time, you'll need a whole new set of remarks."

Zhao Chi smiled.

Liao Zheng said: "Once again, congratulations to Zhao Chi."

This time, applause broke out across the entire venue.

After Zhao Chi and Li Ruanyu went down, Liao Zheng spoke again:

"Today's test ends here. All of your intern lord statuses have been promoted.

"From today onward, you are all Junior Lords.

"All of your lord permissions have been fully unlocked. You can collect taxes remotely, set positions, accept missions, campaign beyond your domain, and so on.

"However, all of your territories have only just been established, so when accepting missions or campaigning outward, act within your means.

"And don't forget the schedule for the weekly classes.

"Alright, today's test has concluded successfully. Everyone, keep it up. Dismissed!"

The test was finally over.

Zhao Chi had a lot of things to do.

The first thing was to exchange his credits for useful supplies or items.

Items exchanged with credits, like the reward chest just now, were academy rewards and didn't require tax.

That was truly hard to come by.

Apart from Zhao Chi, those nearly 1,000 Junior Lord students all had the same such thoughts.

The students crowded out through the main gate, all heading toward the Logistics Department.

But some students walked toward Zhao Chi.

"Zhao Chi, let's get acquainted. I'm Zhao Qian from Class 3. We should be relatives too, right?"

"Zhao Chi, Zhao Chi, I'm Sun Li, Class 6. Add me as a friend. Maybe we can do missions together later."

"Hello, Zhao Chi. I'm Zhou Wu from Class 1. My territory has a lot of stone. If you need any, look me up."

"Excuse me, you're Zhao Chi, right? I'm Zheng Wang from Class 10. I specialize in the prisoner trade. If you have any prisoners, I'll buy them back at a high price. Add me as a friend."

Along the way, Zhao Chi kept adding and adding, adding over 20 classmates from other classes as friends.

Each of these people had their own strengths.

Zhao Chi had no reason to refuse, and added them all in a friendly manner.

Yang Xiong said from the side: "Zhao Chi, you've become famous in one go today, but keep a low profile. Don't attract the attention of those people."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Don't worry, I understand."

Lu Yi was walking with the other female students from their class, and quite a few students from other classes had gathered around them too.

It seemed the number of people trying to add Lu Yi as a friend was even higher than for Zhao Chi.

But they were all chased off by Cao Feng.

Cao Feng snarled: "Get lost, which class are you from? And you, go stand aside too. Who wants to add you as a friend?"

Zheng He, Li Ke, and the others also helped drive them away.

At this moment, Wang Lie walked over.

Zhao Chi immediately called out to him: "Wang Lie, are you still buying goblins?"

Wang Lie hesitated: "Of course I want to buy them, but I don't have much money right now. I'll only have funds the day after tomorrow."

Zhao Chi sent over the list and said: "No problem. I can give you the goblins first, and you pay me the day after tomorrow. How much for 10 goblins? You cover the tax, okay?"

Wang Lie nodded: "Really? That's great then. If I pay the tax, I can only give you 50 silver coins. If you agree, let's sign a contract."

"No problem. I'll send them over to you once I'm back."

"That's wonderful. Thank you, Zhao Chi."
