After deducting five hundred points, Yang Feng still had over two hundred thousand remaining. Such an enormous sum frightened Liu Haotian out of his wits.

Yang Feng said calmly, "This is the reward Sword Deity granted me."

Upon hearing this, Liu Haotian looked at Yang Feng as if beholding a treasure trove. "No wonder you chose to live in a single dormitory—so many points!" he exclaimed. "Since I entered Qingbei University until now, I've only managed to earn a little over ten thousand points. All added up, it's not even a fraction of what you have."

"Ah! Truly, comparison is the thief of joy. Next to you, I'm nothing but a pauper!"

"All right, from today onwards, Room 305 in Building Six is yours. Without your permission, no one is allowed to enter your dormitory. Until you leave, no one can move in."

"Rest well. If you need anything, you can always come find me!"

Yang Feng nodded, then asked, "Senior, have you ever heard of Ning Qingcheng?"

Liu Haotian paused, then shook his head. "I haven't. Is Ning Qingcheng your relative?"

"But Qingbei University is vast, with tens of thousands of students. It's normal that I haven't heard the name."

"Tomorrow, you can check at the Academic Affairs Office to see if anyone by that name is enrolled."

"Also, you should buy a phone tomorrow. It'll make communication much easier; otherwise, it'll be troublesome."

Before leaving, Liu Haotian reminded him repeatedly.

Once Liu Haotian departed, Yang Feng finally found peace.

Entering his single dormitory, Yang Feng found the room not large, simply furnished, but spotlessly clean.

He lay on the bed and quickly drifted into sleep.

Knock, knock, knock!

Early the next morning, someone knocked on his door.

Yang Feng opened it, his face filled with surprise.

The visitor was none other than Gu Panpan, whom he had encountered during the last monster hunt in the wild.

Gu Panpan smiled at Yang Feng and teased, "Yang Feng, just a few days apart and you don't recognize me anymore?"

Yang Feng nodded, "Of course I do!"

"Yang Feng, let me take you to breakfast, then show you around Qingbei University!" Gu Panpan laughed mischievously and pulled him along.

Beside the dormitory area stood the university cafeteria. Early in the morning, many students were already there for breakfast.

Gu Panpan piled her tray high with food, her appetite clearly robust.

After finishing their meal, Yang Feng produced his points card. "I'll pay!"

Seeing this, Gu Panpan didn't object.

Soon, ten points were deducted from Yang Feng's card.

Gu Panpan asked in astonishment, "Yang Feng, you actually used points to pay? You know you can use Daxia currency in the cafeteria, right? In Qingbei University, anywhere that accepts Daxia currency, nobody uses points!"

Yang Feng replied sheepishly, "I don't have any Daxia currency."

Gu Panpan was taken aback, then rolled her eyes. "You should've said so! I have plenty of Daxia currency. Don't waste your points, they're hard to earn back."

Yang Feng smiled, "It's fine."

Gu Panpan nodded, "Luckily, it was just ten points. But remember, wherever Daxia currency is accepted, never use points!"

Yang Feng nodded, "I understand."

He planned to visit the trading hall when he had time, sell the materials and equipment he had acquired, and exchange them for some Daxia currency.

With this thought, an inner core from a beast appeared in his hand.

He had obtained this core after slaying the Wind Wolf King. It was dazzlingly beautiful.

"This inner core is for you," Yang Feng said, handing it to Gu Panpan.

"It's gorgeous!" Gu Panpan immediately sensed its extraordinary nature.

Holding the inner core, she felt a warmth spread through her body.

She tossed a detection water sphere.

"This is the Wind Wolf King's inner core?" Gu Panpan exclaimed in delight.

Yang Feng nodded, "Yes."

Gu Panpan examined it closely, her face alight with affection.

She looked at Yang Feng and asked, "Do you know how much this core is worth?"

Yang Feng shook his head, "I don't."

He had seen it priced at about two hundred thousand Daxia currency in the trading hall.

But later, Huang Hu told him it should be worth at least three hundred thousand.

Yet Yang Feng suspected the Wind Wolf King's inner core was far more valuable than that.

Otherwise, the Young Master of the Four Seas Society wouldn't have gone to such lengths to obtain it.

Although it dropped from a one-star dungeon, the hard mode of a one-star dungeon was not something just anyone could clear.

Gu Panpan whispered, "This is the core item for the Wind Wolf King necklace. It's worth at least one million Daxia currency!"

"If you take this inner core to the trading hall, it's worth a million."

A million Daxia currency?

Yang Feng's eyes widened; he hadn't expected the Wind Wolf King's inner core to be so valuable.

Clearly, Huang Hu didn't really understand its worth, claiming it was only worth two hundred thousand.

As for the Four Seas Society, they were even worse, offering a bounty of two hundred thousand for the Wind Wolf King's inner core, clearly deceiving practitioners who didn't know its value.

For ordinary people, a million was indeed a fortune.

But for Gu Panpan, it probably wasn't much. After all, she had given Yang Feng a mid-level skill book worth a million.

Gu Panpan loved the Wind Wolf King's inner core and immediately tucked it away.

"Thank you, Yang Feng!"

Yang Feng smiled, "I'm glad you like it."

After breakfast, Gu Panpan took Yang Feng on a tour around campus.

Qingbei University had its own trading hall. Unlike outside, where deals were made with Daxia currency, within Qingbei University, transactions used points.

The university's trading hall offered some items unavailable even in the national Daxia trading hall.

Besides the trading hall, Qingbei University boasted over a hundred skill training facilities, scattered throughout the campus.

Of course, using these facilities was not free; points were required.

The university library was said to rival the national library, containing countless books. While ordinary books could be read freely, precious ones required points to access.

In short, without points, one could barely survive at Qingbei University. To truly thrive, points were indispensable.
