What kind of nutritional meal was this, so expensive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a higher-grade nutritional meal. Once you get into one of the Three Top Schools, you can eat it every day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Feng chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi picked up his chopsticks, looked at the four dishes and one soup, and didn’t hesitate—he picked up a piece of stir-fried meat and put it in his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meat was fresh, tender, juicy, perfectly cooked, and delicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi nodded—this taste was far better than the nutritional meals at No. 2 High School’s cafeteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder it cost twenty thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huiyi, his mother, ate a few bites and couldn’t stop nodding; her whole body warmed up, her complexion turning rosy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating a few bites, Lin Qi felt his whole body heat up, his stomach warming—his Strong Stomach began activating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Qi, your teacher Zhang Cheng recommended you to me, said you’re a genius,” Yue Feng said, taking a simple sip of soup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teacher Zhang…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi was surprised—he hadn’t known Teacher Zhang had any connection with Yue Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Qi, I watched your livestream match against Songbai High yesterday.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your performance proved your talent—you deserve a B-class contract.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Feng spoke slowly, his expression serious; beside him, Sun Guanli pulled out a tablet and projected its screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Lin Qi’s eyes, a contract document appeared: B-class Contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Finally!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi thought inwardly—he wanted a B-class contract. Chongming and Heiyao Martial Arts Halls wouldn’t offer it, but Chiqiong was willing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be modest, our Chiqiong Martial Arts Hall ranks first in Xiaoguo, even globally, in overall strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our requirements for geniuses are the strictest among all martial arts halls.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The number of geniuses who secure A or B-class contracts here is the smallest among the three major halls.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take Qiu Jie, ranked tenth in your class—he’d only qualify for a C-class contract here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But at Heiyao Martial Arts Hall, he’d get a B-class contract,” Yue Feng explained slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi nodded, listening quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although both are B-class contracts with the same money and resources upfront, things change later,” Yue Feng smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, I digressed a bit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“B-class contracts differ from C and D-class—they’re already on another level entirely, akin to A-class.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First, we’ll give you three million Xiaoguo yuan and two million yuan worth of resources, for five years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll also get a 25% discount on all purchases at our Chiqiong Martial Arts Hall-affiliated supermarkets.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moreover, you’ll have free access to our virtual training pods.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Plus a free private martial arts room equipped with fist-strength testers, speed analyzers, recovery pods…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll also receive 500,000 points from Chiqiong Home—another substantial sum.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These points will be used when you break through the First Realm or master your third killing technique.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Feng laid out every benefit in one breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi stared at the projected B-class contract terms, his heart accelerating uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed inwardly: No wonder it’s a B-class contract—it’s far superior to C-class. Just the cash alone is two million more, and resources another million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And all of this is given to him for free—no repayment required.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even the same league—the gap was enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this money, he could pay off all his family’s loans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention other benefits—like the free private martial arts room. He’d been in Guo Heng’s room before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew exactly how convenient it was—he’d been envious then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, if he signed, he’d get it for free. Beside him, Fang Huiyi froze mid-chew, stunned the moment she saw the B-class contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could Xiaoqi sign a B-class contract?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she was in school, she’d only signed a contract with an ordinary martial arts hall—just 200,000 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her brother Fang Zhe had only gotten a D-class contract from Heiyao Martial Arts Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Lin Zhen, the most talented among them, had only secured a D-class contract from Chongming Martial Arts Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d assumed Lin Qi’s limit was a C-class contract with Chiqiong—never imagining it’d be B-class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deeply shaken, Fang Huiyi stared at her son Lin Qi and suddenly felt a strange unfamiliarity—her mind went blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Qi, this is the full B-class contract offer. Will you sign?” Yue Feng asked, looking at Lin Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi didn’t rush—he turned to Fang Huiyi:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, what do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huiyi snapped back, speaking slowly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiaoqi, you decide.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt her life experience offered no useful advice—better let her son choose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi nodded, his expression calm as he declared:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I sign this B-class contract!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No more consideration?” Yue Feng asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi put down his chopsticks and shook his head: “No need. I accept the B-class contract.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I refuse after you, Director Yue, came here personally, I’d be ungrateful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Feng burst into laughter:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Interesting—I’m liking you more and more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Sun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Guanli cleared the dishes, pulled out documents and the tablet, pointing to the signature spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi took the black pen and carefully signed his name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Lin Qi】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he pressed his fingerprint, repeating the process on the tablet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alpha!” Yue Feng called.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the table, a smooth blue metallic sphere opened a pair of black eyes and floated into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It swiftly flew to Yue Feng’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, I’m here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A female voice emerged from the metal sphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take a photo of us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, Lin Qi, let’s take a photo together—upload it to headquarters’ network.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once approved, the contract activates immediately,” Yue Feng explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi nodded, stood beside Yue Feng for the photo, then pointed curiously at the metallic sphere:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Feng smiled: “Alpha is an intelligent lifeform—it greatly enhances my efficiency in training, daily life, and work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi stared at the hovering “Alpha,” moving through the air—utterly astonished. He’d never seen such an intelligent lifeform before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, these are rare and expensive—more costly than virtual pods,” Yue Feng added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi shook his head—virtual pods cost over ten million; intelligent lifeforms were even pricier, beyond imagination. He certainly couldn’t afford one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Qi, from now on, you are officially a member of Chiqiong Martial Arts Hall.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Feng looked at Lin Qi seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I came here personally to sign with you—that’s a privilege no other B-class genius has received.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to the rules of the three major martial arts halls, contracts can be upgraded—but the conditions are brutal, and few ever succeed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Historically, those who upgrade their contracts are exceedingly rare; those who rise from B-class to A-class are rarer still.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I believe you can—your potential hasn’t been fully revealed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you significantly climb the rankings in the mid-term or final national assessments, your B-class contract will upgrade to A-class.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I am willing to believe you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Feng spoke slowly, each word deliberate, his expression solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he finished speaking than the entire office fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1303,"2026-06-20T20:27:41.493Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6e702756f16a0552480f1d02b6d4608803cff6749d380b049541cc2847413cc1","high-martial-world-getting-strong-by-grinding-er-chapter-58","high-martial-world-getting-strong-by-grinding-er-chapter-56",992,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhigh-martial-world-getting-strong-by-grinding-er-cover.jpg"]
