Chapter 66: The Hidden Dragon Plan

Lin Xuzhou and others were eating heartily. While eating, Lin Xuzhou said, “This time, the performances of Ye Xuan and Su Mengli were outstanding. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be able to join the Hidden Dragon Plan.”

Zhou Qiang nodded and said, “That’s right. We don’t need to talk about Su Mengli. With her SSS-class strength, no one can take her spot. As for Ye Xuan, it’s a pleasant surprise.”

Lin Xuzhou sighed and said, “They are indeed excellent, but the performances of the others are too average, unlike those top-tier schools. Although they don’t have an SSS-class freak like Su Mengli, they do have several SS-class ones. In addition, there are some geniuses with rapidly improving development and those naturally talented in combat. The resource quota that our Magic City University can obtain this year is probably not going to be high!”

With the rebirth of spiritual energy and scarce resources, spirit stones are the most precious resource controlled by the country and distributed uniformly. In terms of universities, the upper echelons adopt the law of natural competition, where the more outstanding the students of a school are, the more resources they will receive.

The Hidden Dragon Plan largely determines the resource quota that a university can obtain. The more students a university can select for the Hidden Dragon Plan, the more abundant the resources will be. In addition, the country is planning to open the Hidden Dragon List in the future, allowing all the geniuses from major universities to compete. The geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List will receive strong support from the country and obtain the most precious resources.

Now, the performances of Ye Xuan and Su Mengli during the disaster of the Python have already been reported to the higher-ups. Both of them have joined the Hidden Dragon Plan.

Unfortunately, the total quota for the Hidden Dragon Plan is a thousand people, but our Magic City University only occupies two spots, which is not much.

Zhou Qiang said, “Dean Lin, quality is more important than quantity. What’s wrong with having fewer people? With just Su Mengli alone, she can be worth a hundred!”

Lin Xuzhou smiled and said, “You’re right. After all, she’s SSS! Speaking of which, if Ye Xuan’s talent was a bit higher and combined with her strange abilities, he might be able to rival Su Mengli in the future!”

Just as Lin Xuzhou was speaking, a hand suddenly patted his shoulder from above. “Dean Lin, what are you guys talking about?”

Lin Xuzhou turned his head and saw Ye Xuan standing there with a smile on his face.

Lin Xuzhou looked at Ye Xuan and said, “What’s the matter? Have you figured out what we talked about before? Do you want to learn from me, the dean?”

“I can’t teach you this matter, otherwise people will say I’m disrespectful to the elderly. Old Zhou, I remember you were interested in those things. Give Ye Xuan a few websites to learn from and try to have children early!” Lin Xuzhou said.

Zhou Qiang, upon hearing Lin Xuzhou’s words, immediately got angry and said, “Old Lin, you can’t just slander me like that. When did I show interest in those things? You’re tarnishing my reputation!”

Lin Xuzhou laughed and said, “Look at you, why are you so worked up? It’s just a joke!”

Ye Xuan, after hearing Lin Xuzhou’s words, said, “Dean Lin, I came here to talk about something important. If you don’t listen, don’t regret it!”

Lin Xuzhou said, “Something important? You came to talk to me? Do you want to learn from me? I can’t teach you that. Otherwise, people will say I’m cruel!”

Zhou Qiang, still holding a grudge against Lin Xuzhou, couldn’t help but expose him. “Ye Xuan, you can rest assured. You and Su Mengli are treasures of our Awakening Academy. Even if you play tricks on him, he won’t do anything to you!”

Soon, the three of them arrived at an office. Lin Xuzhou sat down and said, “Ye Xuan, you can speak now. Did you find a spirit stone mine or something else?”

Ye Xuan shook his head and said, “I didn’t find a spirit stone mine, but I can provide you with spirit stones.”

Lin Xuzhou was stunned and said, “You didn’t find a spirit stone mine? Then where did your spirit stones come from?”

Ye Xuan smiled mysteriously and said, “I won’t tell you about that, but I can lend a batch of spirit stones to our academy. For now, I can lend the academy 3,000 spirit stones per month. In a year, it will be 36,000, and in five years, it will be 180,000. After five years, the academy will repay me 300,000 spirit stones in one go. What do you think, Dean?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuzhou was shocked and said, “Where did you get so many spirit stones?”

Ye Xuan shrugged and said, “In short, I didn’t steal them or rob anyone. The source is legitimate. I can’t tell you the specifics. So, will the academy borrow or not?”

Lin Xuzhou immediately said, “Borrow, of course we’ll borrow. You can first give me 3,000 spirit stones.”

Ye Xuan hesitated for a moment and said, “I don’t have them now. I can only give them to you at the end of the month. Let’s settle it like this. Every month at the end of the month, I will bring out 3,000 spirit stones.”

Currently, Ye Xuan can receive 3,600 spirit stones per month through the Knowledge Gem. He doesn’t need so many spirit stones himself, and even 600 is more than enough. On the other hand, in the early stages of the rebirth of spiritual energy, the resource quotas of major universities are tight. Ye Xuan’s actions can be considered as helping the university. At the same time, during the early stages of cultivation, Ye Xuan and Su Mengli rely on spirit stones for their daily needs, and they don’t need that many. Even 600 is more than enough. On the contrary, after five years, as the rebirth of spiritual energy intensifies, spirit stones will be continuously mined, and the resource quotas for universities will be dozens of times higher than now. It won’t be difficult to repay Ye Xuan’s 300,000 spirit stones.

Ye Xuan’s actions not only help Magic City University and earn Lin Xuzhou’s favor, but also allow him to earn spirit stones for future cultivation resources. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone, benefiting without any harm.

As for the consequences of his actions, Ye Xuan is not worried. He has already been recognized as a strange genius. As long as he shows enough value, no matter how strange he is, he won’t be dissected.
