Chapter 7: Genius Loan and Part-time Work (Seeking follow-up reads)

"The second floor is different, the food eaten is called nutritional meals, the rice and vegetables are specially cultivated, and the meat ingredients use first-level Calamity Beast meat."

"Even the most ordinary first-level Calamity Beast meat contains considerable Source Energy, which can help martial artists strengthen their flesh and improve their Qi and Blood value."

"In the entire No. 2 High, only teachers, leaders, and students with good family backgrounds will choose to go to the second floor."

Lin Qi shook his head: "It's a pity, even the cheapest nutritional meal costs over a hundred yuan per serving."

"Ordinary food, if you eat a bit more, only costs 10-something yuan."

He looked at the rich food on the tray, with large pieces of meat, and the cafeteria auntie of No. 2 High didn't have the traditional skill of "shaking the spoon."

They would all give a bit more, equivalent to 1.5 portions, and the school also turned a blind eye to it.

Eating more than usual today only cost 15 yuan.

After the meal, Lin Qi rubbed his stomach, feeling warm, and his whole stomach was running rapidly, exerting a strong digestive and absorption ability.

"I've decided, starting tonight, I'm going to eat nutritional meals."

Jiang Tao made a decision instantly.

"I can't feel sorry for the money anymore."

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, my Genius Loan application has been approved, and the money will be deposited into my card in a few days."

Jiang Tao shared the good news, his smile uncontrollable.

Lin Qi showed a surprised expression: "Taozi, then congratulations."

The Genius Loan is quite similar to the student loan of the previous life.

It is an interest-free loan provided by the Xia Guo Martial Arts Education Bureau in conjunction with many banks, specifically for genius students from ordinary and difficult families.

The Genius Loan is divided into four grades, and even the lowest grade has 200,000 Xia Guo Yuan, which is a considerable amount.

The Genius Loan has extremely harsh requirements; if you are not a genius, you cannot apply for it.

And the one Jiang Tao applied for was the first-grade Genius Loan, which was a full million Xia Guo Yuan.

"It's a pity I failed!"

Lin Qi gave a bitter smile. He and Jiang Tao applied for it at the same time last semester, but he applied for the third grade, and as a result, he received a notification that the application failed shortly before school started.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, as long as you can enter the Elite Class, the Genius Loan can definitely be applied for."

"Previous years have all been like this, almost none have failed."

Jiang Tao comforted him.

Lin Qi nodded; he had heard about this matter. As long as he entered the Elite Class, the probability of passing the application would significantly improve.

Lin Qi looked at the stairs to the second floor, and the requirements for the Elite Class emerged in his mind.

Immediately, he made a decision; he must speed up his progress.

"Tonight, I'll eat nutritional meals with you."

At the same time, thinking that he still had 3000 in balance, he would spend it all on purchasing resources, and he would pay back Jiang Tao's money after entering the Elite Class.

"Good brother, let's work hard together!"

Jiang Tao nodded firmly.

"However, you have to help me find a part-time job, I'm too short of money."

"Leave it to me, let's go do it together."

Building 3, 3rd floor, teacher's office.

This was a separate office, only enjoyed by excellent martial arts teachers.

The office was extremely spacious, a full three or four hundred square meters, besides the office area, there was an empty area with weapons like sabers, spears, swords, and sticks.

In front of the black desk, stood a wide-screen monitor, and Wu Kang sat leisurely in an ergonomic chair.

He held the form in his hand and checked it.

"There are 15 students applying for the Elite Class this time."

Yan Hong sat on a brown leather sofa, drinking mineral water leisurely, while narrating the situation.

After Wu Kang finished reading roughly, he spoke slowly:

"In the third year of high school, there are 10 martial arts classes, with a total of 521 students, and only 50 people can enter the Elite Class in the end."

"On average, there are about 5 people per class, but Class 1 is known as the Small Elite Class, and there may be about 10 people who can enter the Elite Class, while fewer can enter from other classes."

"So we need Teacher Wu to be able to help them, after all, how many people enter also concerns our bonus."

"It's not our business if they enter the Elite Class."

Yan Hong said.

Wu Kang stared at the application form with Lin Qi's name written on it, and after a while, he slowly opened his mouth:

"Fine, then I'll help them!"

Hearing Wu Kang's words, Yan Hong also revealed a smile.

In the afternoon, in martial arts class.

On the second floor of the cafeteria, at a corner seat. Lin Qi looked at the food on the table with heartache, two meat dishes and one vegetable, emitting a strange fragrance, hooking his body to swallow saliva involuntarily.

"This is a nutritional meal, 100 yuan per serving."

"Eat!"

After saying that, the two began to eat.

"Hmm!"

The vegetables were refreshing and crisp, the meat slices were tender and entered the mouth, quite chewy, the rice was crystal clear and white, every grain of rice was like a pearl, emitting bursts of tempting fragrance, hooking people's gluttony.

Jiang Tao and Lin Qi couldn't help but start eating heartily.

After a short while, the two finished eating.

"Really delicious, the taste is completely different."

Jiang Tao sighed with satisfaction.

Lin Qi nodded, his whole body wrapped in a burst of warm air, and an invisible airflow flowed slowly from his stomach to all parts of his body.

!

Invisible heat filled his whole body, and the fatigue of his body slowly dissipated.

【You ate a nutritional meal, your stomach began to absorb, Qi and Blood value +0.01】

【...... Qi and Blood value +0.01】

Lin Qi was surprised in his heart, just eating nutritional meals could improve his Qi and Blood value?

If he ate nutritional meals every day, his Qi and Blood value would improve crazily, and reaching 6.0 would be no problem at all.

After the meal, Jiang Tao returned to the classroom to rest.

And Lin Qi was alone, leaving the school gate of No. 2 High.

Facing the bustling street, stationery stores, snack bars, milk tea shops...

All kinds of light screens were shrouded in the shops, advertising, and new energy vehicles were driving fast on the roadside.

No. 2 High is a key high school, located near the city center, and there is also a university town around it.

His physical fitness had long since surpassed the first-class athletes of his previous life, and he soon arrived at his destination.

Soon he arrived at his destination.

In Lin Qi's field of vision appeared a wide entrance—Cangqiong Martial Arts Supermarket.

Cangqiong Martial Arts Supermarket, a place specializing in selling martial arts cultivation resources.

Affiliated with the Cangqiong Group, it has chain stores all over the country, and this one is the largest one near No. 2 High.

Lin Qi stepped into it, the bright lights shining on rows of shelves, and the brand-new items reflecting light, attracting customers.

This was a supermarket of over a thousand square meters, with potions, weapons, training equipment, clothes...

Divided into various areas.

Lin Qi's goal was clear, and he went straight to the potion area; he was here today to buy Qi and Blood capsules.

"I only have 3000 yuan, besides the 200 yuan for food every day, the rest can be spent on Qi and Blood capsules."

Lin Qi picked up a red square box, which contained Qi and Blood capsules.

A box costs 120 Xia Guo Yuan, a box has 12 capsules, one capsule costs 10 Xia Guo Yuan.

Lin Qi's family could only afford this kind of resource, practicing martial arts three times a day, taking one capsule before each training.

One month is 900 yuan, plus 500+ for food, at least 1400 yuan per month.

This was also what the family squeezed out.

As for better resources, the family couldn't afford it.

Since he decided to impact the Elite Class, three Qi and Blood capsules a day were not enough, and he needed to take more.

Lin Qi picked up ten boxes in a row, and then went to another shelf, on which were rows of potions containing red liquid.

"Qi and Blood Potion" is a martial arts resource with better effects than Qi and Blood capsules, 500 yuan per bottle.

Even with Lin Qi's current financial resources, he could only grit his teeth and take two bottles.

Then he took the things, and went to buy many compressed biscuits, socks, and even a pair of brand-new sneakers.

Finally, he carried the shopping basket and lined up for self-checkout.

In front of him was a father and daughter, only to hear the middle-aged father say to his beautiful daughter who was only seven or eight years old:

"Xiao Yu, your brother is a signed genius of the Cangqiong Martial Arts Hall, and you can get a 10% discount when buying things at the martial arts supermarket under the Cangqiong Group."

"We bought 5250 yuan this time, and after the discount, it only cost 4725 Xia Guo Yuan, saving 525 yuan."

The little girl widened her eyes: "Saved 525, that's a lot."

"I also want to become a signed genius of the Cangqiong Group in the future."

The father laughed: "Then Xiao Yu, you have to work hard."

Lin Qi behind showed a trace of envious expression.
