Chapter 349

【Student Lin Qi, congratulations on winning the championship in the Global Freshman Competition, achieving excellent results, and winning supreme honor for Xia Guo!】

【According to the competition rules, you will receive a prize of 150 million Xia Guo currency!】

【You will also receive a grand gift!】

【At the same time, the time for the three cultivation buildings—the Spirit Refining Tower, Gravity Room, and Disaster Beast Trial Tower—will each be increased by 10 hours!】

【Spirit Refining Tower: 34 hours/month】

【Gravity Room: 31 hours/month】

【Disaster Beast Trial Tower: 31 hours/month】

……

"Thump thump!!"

Seeing the prize money, Lin Qi's heart suddenly beat forcefully, accelerating crazily!

150 million Xia Guo currency!

It was a full 20 million Xia Guo currency more than the prize money he had anticipated.

This prize money was simply too much; although the various prizes he had won since high school added up to well over 200 million.

But this was the first time he had received such a large prize at once.

His brain operated at high speed; with 150 million in prize money, plus the 45 million Xia Guo currency from the Disaster Beast Trial Tower.

That was 195 million Xia Guo currency, plus the 10 million-plus Xia Guo currency he already had.

"Hiss~"

Lin Qi couldn't help but gasp; his net worth had already broken 200 million!

This was 200 million!

Even after deducting 50 million, it was enough for him to purchase a large amount of cultivation resources!

The harvest this time was simply too huge!

"Sure enough, one must participate in competitions; it's simply too profitable. One time, and I can earn a huge sum."

After recovering his mood, Lin Qi looked at the other reward.

The cultivation time for the three major cultivation buildings had increased by a full 10 hours.

This was also a very generous reward, enough to significantly increase his cultivation efficiency.

Then he saw one of the messages among them.

【You will receive a grand gift!】

This message didn't look like an official message?

"Master, Liu Yuanzhang is calling via video call!"

Just as Lin Qi felt puzzled, the black-haired Xiao Chan beside him reminded him.

"Beep!"

Immediately, she raised her jade hand, projecting the video call, and Liu Yuanzhang's avatar appeared on the screen.

Liu Yuanzhang was in his study, and he said with a chuckle:

"Lin Qi, did you receive the message about the prize money arriving?"

Lin Qi nodded: "Just received it; the prize money is even higher than I imagined!"

Liu Yuanzhang drank a sip of water and said:

"That's natural; you are the champion, so the prize money should naturally be more than the runner-up, otherwise how would it show the importance of the champion!"

Lin Qi nodded; the runner-up's prize money should be 120 million, so he had 30 million more than Javier.

This was the gold content of being the champion.

"Besides that, there is also a grand gift; this is the true champion's reward. The so-called prize money is just an attachment to the grand gift."

"The day after tomorrow, come to my office!"

"This is a grand gift specially prepared for you!"

Hearing this, Lin Qi immediately felt curious.

What kind of grand gift could be more valuable than 150 million in prize money?

……

On the other side, in the study of a luxury villa in the Sixth Academy.

Liu Yuanzhang hung up the video call, slowly stood up, and picked up his phone to check the information.

"Who could have thought Lin Qi would actually win the championship!"

"The reward this time is indeed generous, just right for Lin Qi."

After looking at the picture on his phone, he immediately revealed a smile.

……

Cang Province, Tianhai City, Yujing Haoting Residential Area

It was already 12:00.

In the study of a luxury detached villa,

This was a "small" study of over 100 square meters. Yue Feng, wearing a black bathrobe with rugged features, was still processing documents. He sat on an intelligent chair, and in front of him, the intelligent life Alpha projected several large screens.

He scanned the documents before him quickly.

"It's already May; there is only a little over a month left until the college entrance examination."

"It has already entered the final sprint!"

"The quality in our Tianhai City this year is not bad, but still incomparable to the previous batch."

"After all, a Lin Qi emerged!"

"However, it's not bad that a Jiang Miaoyin emerged; her brother is Jiang Tao, two S-rank geniuses in one family."

"If it weren't for the monster Lin Qi, Jiang Tao would actually be the most dazzling one."

"Who could have thought he was actually an S-rank genius too!"

Yue Feng nodded secretly, feeling pleased; this year's Jiang Miaoyin was now also an S-rank genius, and he was responsible for signing both.

Of course, his greatest contribution was signing Lin Qi.

!

"Speaking of Lin Qi……"

Yue Feng suddenly remembered that the Global Freshman Competition seemed to have ended.

"I, this acting manager, am simply too busy; I actually forgot!"

Yue Feng slapped his forehead and quickly opened the Red Dome Home forum, where information on every large competition would be posted.

"I remember very clearly that for this Global Freshman Competition, awakened S-rank and SS-rank geniuses would all participate, with about 180 people!"

"I stopped at the top 250 back then, encountering an awakened genius and being eliminated; it was truly a pity!"

"With Lin Qi's talent, he might be stronger than me, at least top 63!"

"Top 32 is also possible; he has already created a record!"

"Holy crap, champion!!"

Yue Feng looked at the most prominent position on the homepage, which clearly read:

"Congratulations to Student Lin Qi, a freshman at our nation's Profound Heaven Martial University, for winning the Global Freshman Competition championship"

He blinked his eyes forcefully, confirming he hadn't misread it.

He read it carefully three times, confirming it was "Global" and not "National."

He stood up with a swoosh, touched the stubble on his chin, and forced himself to calm down.

"Hoo~"

His breathing became heavy, his eyes widened, and his heart simply couldn't calm down.

"The champion!!"

His heart was trembling; he knew too well the gold content of the Global Freshman Competition championship.

That was a top-tier competition with millions of geniuses, and this year there were 230 awakened geniuses and 18 SS-rank geniuses competing for the championship.

And the genius he signed, Lin Qi, an unawakened genius, had defeated countless awakened geniuses along the way, even SS-rank geniuses.

That was an SS-rank genius; a seedling likely to break through to the Ninth Realm in the future!

Then he suddenly thought of another question.

"Lin Qi's talent is too perverted; does he still count as an S-rank genius?"

"Even SS-rank geniuses can't compare to him; although he hasn't awakened, upgrading such a special genius to SS-rank feels like no problem."

"Yes, such a genius must become an SS-rank genius!"

Yue Feng made a decision instantly.

He sat down immediately and sent a message to the manager, Wu Lingyun.

"Old Wu went to another world and has important things to busy himself with; there is still over a month, and he will be back!"

"When the time comes, I will take him to the headquarters to propose upgrading Lin Qi's contract to SS-rank!"

"He needs more resources to grow!"

"I can't imagine how strong Lin Qi will become after obtaining more resources!"

Yue Feng felt excited just thinking about it; such a top-tier genius was discovered by him.

It was not only for the headquarters' reward but also for the future of humanity.
