Chapter 60: Be Meticulous, Spend Worthily

Jiang Chen now deeply realizes that points are more valuable than Gold Coins.

Shenlong University dormitories have many options, each corresponding to different point or Gold Coin payment methods.

Four-person rooms are the cheapest, 500 points per month.

Two-person rooms cost Thousand Points Reward per month.

Single rooms require 2000 points per month.

As for those standalone houses, the monthly points required are in the tens of thousands.

If you have no points, you can also pay with Gold Coins.

Then you need to add two more zeros after it.

Four-person rooms need 50,000 Gold Coins per month, and single rooms even require 200,000 Gold Coins.

That's indeed not cheap.

Jiang Chen currently only has a few hundred Gold Coins on him.

It's certainly impossible to exchange for points; the preciousness of points, even Jiang Chen knows.

Each point can be exchanged for 100 Gold Coins.

But Gold Coins cannot be exchanged for points.

If discovered, there will be severe punishment.

Hong Jishi has said that at Shenlong University, most things can be traded.

Gold Coins exchanged for points belong to a small minority.

Besides that, there are many resources that can only be bought with points.

Thus, points have become the most important hard currency in Shenlong University.

Places where Gold Coins can be used will never use points.

Points should be saved whenever possible.

Under that person's detailed explanation, Jiang Chen already knows a lot.

His understanding of point usage becomes clearer, and he can't help but think of Lin Caier, knowing so much—wondering whether she is a Shenlong University student...

Since places that accept Gold Coins are very limited and most resources can only be bought with points, points become the university's most important currency, so Jiang Chen will naturally put good steel on the blade edge, and won't

waste.

The person instructed by Hong Shen to guide Jiang Chen on a tour is named Liu Qiu, who is in his third year at Shenlong University and is Jiang Chen's senior.

He now works as an administrator in the dormitory area, handling minor affairs and can also earn some points.

From his words and subtext, it can be heard that points are hard to earn.

It may be because of Hong Jishi, Liu Qiu is especially courteous to Jiang Chen.

"Student Jiang, I know you just finished the college entrance exam, you should have quite a few points."

"But I still want to advise you, save points whenever you can; there are too many places later that require points."

Jiang Chen roughly understands; he should spend points sparingly.

However, he has no Gold Coins, and he doesn't want to live with others.

"I want a single room."

Liu Qiu looks at Jiang Chen, "Are you sure?"

Jiang Chen nods.

Liu Qiu sighs.

"Alas, it's truly the luxury of having money; now you don't know how to save, and when you realize how hard points are to earn, you'll regret it."

He sighs, as if a seasoned veteran with a story.

He leads Jiang Chen into the residential area, into Building 7, and straight up to the 5th floor.

"Building 7 is all single rooms."

"On the 5th floor, except for 506, 508, and 509 which are already occupied, the rest are vacant; you can choose yourself."

Jiang Chen scans the row, points to the nearest one, "This one then."

"Room 501, give me your ID Card, I'll make a registration."

The ID Card can only be used by its owner; even if lost, someone who picks it up cannot use it.

Liu Qiu takes a device, scans the ID Card, then Jiang Chen performs fingerprint verification.

"Beep!" sounds, and points are deducted.

It was just that he saw the points balance displayed on Jiang Chen's ID Card,

Liu Qiu, like a huge catfish, eyes wide and round, kept scanning the card reader screen and Jiang Chen's body back and forth, as if confirming his eyes hadn't misread.

After checking several times, Liu Qiu's eyes suddenly bulged, emitting a strange cry.

"How do you have so many points?"

The machine is displaying Jiang Chen's points balance.

After deducting a Thousand Points Reward, 133,605 points remain.

Over 130,000 points startled Liu Qiu.

One could even say his heart raced; in all his years at the school, he had never seen anyone with so many points—truly a rare sight!

Jiang Chen says, "It's a reward."

Liu Qiu looks at Jiang Chen as if staring at the God of Wealth.

"No wonder you want a single room; so you have that many points."

"Since entering university, I've only earned less than 10,000 points in total, not even a fraction of yours."

"What a rich person."

"Alright, from now on, Building 5 Room 501 is your dormitory."

"Without your permission, no one may come in."

"Until you cancel the lease, no one else can rent this dorm."

"Rest well; if you need anything, find me."

Jiang Chen nodded, then suddenly asked, "Senior, have you ever heard of Jiang Ruo?"

Liu Qiu thought for a moment, shook his head, "Never heard of it."

"Your name is Jiang Chen, Jiang Ruo must be your relative, right?"

"There are too many people at Shenlong University, it's normal not to have heard of it; you can go to the Academic Affairs Office tomorrow and ask."

Liu Qiu chattered on a lot, and just before leaving said suddenly, "Oh, right, remember to buy a Communicator tomorrow, otherwise it'll be very inconvenient."

"

Closing the dormitory door, my ears finally cleared.

A single dorm, not large, arranged simply and very clean.

Jiang Chen sat on the bed, began Meditation, restoring his Spiritual Power.

Early the next morning, someone knocked on the dormitory door.

Jiang Chen opened the door, surprise flashing in his eyes, along with delight.

He never expected that on his first day arriving at Shenlong University, the person who came to his door would be her!

There stood Lin Caier'er, looking fresh and lively, after many days apart, at the doorway.

"What's up, don't recognize me?"

Jiang Chen gave a slight smile: "I recognize you."

Lin Caier'er giggled, "Come on, come on, I'll take you to have breakfast, then show you around Shenlong University."

Next to the residential area is the university cafeteria; early in the morning, many people come to eat.

Lin Caier'er quickly grabbed a pile of food.

There were many items, all looking like Lin Caier'er's favorites; recalling how the girl ate back in the wilderness, Jiang Chen smiled.

Lin Caier'er's appetite remained as ever.

When it was time to pay, Jiang Chen took out his ID Card.

"I'll handle it."

Lin Caier'er giggled and didn't object.

With a drip, 5 points were deducted.

Lin Caier'er exclaimed, "You paid with points? You could use Gold Coin here; wherever Gold Coin can be used, points are never needed."

Jiang Chen said softly, "I have no Gold Coin."

Lin Caier'er slapped her forehead, "Just say you don't have Gold Coin. I have plenty of Gold Coin; don't waste points, they're hard to earn."

Jiang Chen smiled, "It's fine."

Lin Caier'er, relieved, "It's okay, just 5 points."

"Anyway, remember: in places where you can use Gold Coin, never use points."

"Points should be spent on"

"the blade edge."

"You must calculate carefully; what you spend should be worth more than its cost!"

Jiang Chen humbly accepted.

When you have time, go to the Exchange and sell the materials and Weapon you recently obtained.

At least you can get some Gold Coin.

But as if recalling something, Jiang Chen's hand twitched slightly, and a gem appeared in his palm.

It emitted a dark red sheen...
