Chapter 95: Credit Exchange Half-Price Benefit

"Gender is not restricted, only the top ten in the assessment are recruited, limited to 3 people! Note: Candidates ranked 1-3 will receive a Credit Exchange Half-Price Benefit once a year; freshmen ranked 4-10 in the assessment will be awarded one Concentration Pill annually!"

How generous!

The Credit Exchange Half-Price Benefit means one can designate an item in the Credit Exchange Manual, and the required Academic Credit is only half. If one exchanges it for an item costing thousands of Academic Credits, that would be a huge profit.

Let us repeat once more, one Low-grade Soul Crystal can only be exchanged for one Academic Credit!

This was originally a benefit for Instructors, and according to the Instructors' ranks, the benefits also differ; for example, a Third-rank Instructor gets it once a year, a Fourth-rank twice a year, and a Fifth-rank Instructor gets it three times a year.

For the Instructors, the Credit Exchange Half-Price Benefit is very important and is the benefit they value most, so they do not give it away easily. However, because Instructor Ning Bizhen has an incurable injury and cannot continue to cultivate, the importance of the Credit Exchange Half-Price Benefit to her is greatly reduced, so she used it as a bargaining chip to recruit excellent freshmen.

Most importantly, the Credit Exchange Half-Price Benefit is not a one-time thing; it can be obtained once every year. The Yuanling Academy is a four-year system, which is almost equivalent to four half-price benefits.

So wealthy and imposing!

Li Zhangsheng only had this one thought; compared to Instructor Ning Bizhen, the note-based rewards of other Instructors seemed very petty.

What is Instructor Ning Bizhen's background, anyway?

Li Sheng comes from the Battle Academy and had once explained some information about the various Instructors of the Battle Academy to Li Zhangsheng and the others, but he never mentioned Instructor Ning Bizhen.

Li Zhangsheng was puzzled; logically speaking, given Instructor Ning Bizhen's "generosity," Li Sheng should not have missed her.

Could she be a new Instructor?

She doesn't look like one either; the recruitment positions of Instructors have a certain logic to them. The stronger the strength and the higher the seniority, the closer the position is to the center, while new Instructors often have their positions on the periphery.

As for Instructor Ning Bizhen, her position is relatively close to the center; even if she really were a new Instructor, her strength would definitely not be poor.

Ning Bizhen's note-based reward was also seen by the other Instructors. Those Third-rank and Fourth-rank Instructors were fine, as their targets were not the top ten freshmen in the assessment. As for the three Fifth-rank Instructors, they all had expressions of being unable to laugh or cry; for some reason, none of them lodged a protest with Vice Principal Xu.

It was also at this moment that Ning Bizhen discovered Li Zhangsheng. Her eyes lit up suddenly. Although she had come in a hurry, she had read the data on the top ten freshmen in the assessment, including their images.

Among them, Li Zhangsheng was best in three categories and ranked first in the assessment; he was also the freshman who left the deepest impression on her.

"Li Zhangsheng, please stay!"

Just as Li Zhangsheng was preparing to leave, Instructor Ning Bizhen suddenly called out to him and began to coax him: "Li Zhangsheng, I have a certain understanding of your situation. In my view, you are an unpolished piece of jade, but your family cannot provide too many resources, making it difficult to help you go further!"

What about those three Second-tier Students? Zhao Shuyi was born into a Famous Clan; Xu Xiangzhi goes without saying, having Vice Principal Xu backing him; Zhang Yi seems slightly worse, but he also relies on a County-level Clan, especially since his father is the Clan Leader.

Regardless of family status, background, or resources, you are far inferior to them. As time passes, you will inevitably be left behind by them, and wanting to go further will undoubtedly be even more difficult.

I know you have reservations about me and do not know me well enough, but I can guarantee here that as long as you are willing to become my student, I will surely exhaust my abilities to guide you to success!"

Ning Bizhen acted according to her nature; in just a few sentences, she analyzed Li Zhangsheng's greatest flaw, which was truly hitting the nail on the head.

If Li Zhangsheng did not have special abilities, it might really be as Ning Bizhen said; the Li Clan would find it difficult to provide him with much help, and in this regard, he could not be compared to Zhao Shuyi and the others at all.

If it were anyone else, they would likely be persuaded immediately.

Unfortunately, Li Zhangsheng is quite special!

He is indeed short on resources, the help the clan can provide is very limited, and he does not have a powerful elder like Vice Principal Xu to protect him, but he possesses a magical special ability and believes he will not fall behind others.

As the freshman ranked first in the assessment, even if he is not yet a Second-Rank Beast Master, Li Zhangsheng is still a key focus of attention for all the Instructors. There are too many Instructors to choose from, which forces him to consider carefully.

"Instructor Ning, I still need to think about it!" Although Instructor Ning Bizhen's words were reasonable and well-founded, Li Zhangsheng would never be blinded by the benefits before him and remained calm.

It must be said that the Credit Exchange Half-Price Benefit once a year is quite generous, which means he can save a large amount of resources.

However, every freshman can and must only choose one Instructor. Unless the Instructor dies, resigns, or makes a major mistake, the teacher-student relationship cannot be dissolved; this is mainly to look after the Instructors' reputations.

For Li Zhangsheng, he is more inclined toward a powerful Instructor with profound knowledge. Although Instructor Ning Bizhen is good, she is simply too young; her age is not much higher than that of a newly graduated Instructor, and she does not give the impression of being the type of Instructor with profound knowledge.

A teacher is one who propagates the Dao, imparts professional knowledge, and resolves doubts!

The Instructor Li Zhangsheng needs should ideally possess the following points: strong strength, rich knowledge, outstanding tactics, and ample time!

The stronger the Instructor's strength, the greater their say and the wider their connections, which is naturally more beneficial to the student and can help the student secure better opportunities.

In a sense, an Instructor is also a student's backing; when you encounter danger or are bullied, you can seek help.

Rich knowledge can better and faster improve the students' level of knowledge.

Outstanding tactics; the importance of tactics is beyond doubt. If the Demon Pet is the executor, then the Monster Tamer is the guide. Reasonable tactics can significantly increase the win rate!

There is no need to mention ample time. Many Instructors are quite busy; they also need to cultivate, train their Demon Pets, and handle various trivial matters. If they have many students under them, even if you are excellent, the time to teach you will inevitably be limited, and it is possible that senior students will be asked to teach on their behalf.

After some investigation, Li Zhangsheng had several candidates in mind: Lu Qian, Zhu Zhibin, Luo Hong, and Instructor Ning Bizhen.

Lu Qian has strong strength and extensive connections, and he attaches great importance to students' basic skills. His shortcomings are that he is relatively pedantic, has many students, and his teaching time is limited.

Zhu Zhibin's knowledge base may not be as good as Lu Qian's, and he is not pedantic. He also has many students, most of whom are quite outstanding, and he often lets senior students teach the freshmen.

Luo Hong also has his merits; his application and insights into tactics are quite unique, and he has been at the forefront for years. He does not have many students, and they are not particularly outstanding. His shortcomings are his relatively weak strength and lack of extensive connections.

As for the final candidate, Instructor Ning Bizhen, Li Zhangsheng does not know her true situation, but she is easier to talk to, her time seems relatively ample, she certainly does not have many students, and coupled with the attraction of the Credit Exchange Half-Price Benefit, she naturally became a candidate for Li Zhangsheng.

The shortcomings are also very obvious: Instructor Ning Bizhen is too young. Because she is too young, Li Zhangsheng believes her teaching experience is limited, her knowledge and tactical levels are likely not rich enough, and coupled with her unknown strength, she does not seem like a good choice.

By the same token, the other three candidate Instructors also have significant flaws.

In short, to choose the Instructor most suitable for himself, Li Zhangsheng must consider carefully.

Sometimes, having too many choices is also a trouble!

It is not just Li Zhangsheng; the three Second-tier Students also feel the same way. They felt the enthusiasm of the various Instructors and found it difficult to choose for a moment, having a sense of "choice paralysis."

Just as Li Zhangsheng was hesitating, suddenly, a subtle Mental Power established a connection with him and transmitted a piece of information to him.

It seems a group needs to be created.
