Chapter 6: The Poor Rely on Mutation, Advancement is Easy

The first lesson for Order University students: Paying tuition!

The 21 newly appointed "Order Keepers" in the eyes of ordinary people sat upright, ready to pay their fees.

Qin Moyu, the instructor with wavy hair, a devilish figure, and an angelic face, parted her red lips slightly, and spoke words at a 37-degree angle that sent chills down one's spine:

"This semester, tuition is 10, accommodation is 2, meals are 2, props are 1, the cost of Vitality Cultivation and Orderkeeper skills is 5, and extracurricular service fees are 2. These are mandatory fees."

Additionally, the Gravity Chamber, the Mystic Trial Chamber, the Vitality Observation Chamber, and the Attribute Training Chamber all require fees, but you can choose whether or not to pay them.

Zhou Ming counted on his fingers. Leaving aside the other fees, the mandatory fee alone was 22. He only had 20 on him, including what Xie Lingyuan had given him. It wasn't enough!

I thought I'd still have some pocket money left, but it's not enough?

Indeed, money is the most basic necessity in any world!

Do I have to go home and drag my grandma and mom to get more loans?

This interest compoundes...

I've just awakened as an Order Being, and I've already started as a second-generation negative?

Fortunately, he wasn't the only one short of money. Ma Kun and his five other classmates looked constipated: "Teacher, why did the tuition go up this year? What are we going to do with only 20?"

Zhou Ming immediately perked up, "Me too!"

Are there any ways to work and study while studying?

Teacher Qin Moyu's face darkened: "You are the poorest class of students I have ever taught. You don't even have the most basic expenses? If you want to become a powerful Order Keeper, there are many places where you need money. How can you improve your attributes without training? How can you withstand the pressure of powerful gods without training in gravity?"

How can you advance faster without going to the Vitality Observation Room? In addition, there are powerful mental techniques, skills, injections, medicines, and supplements, none of which can be missing.

"Now you can't even afford this little bit of money? Do you really think that cultivating order is as simple as just sitting in school listening to teachers lecture?"

The students looked at each other, wondering if it was because they were reluctant to spend the money. "I don't have any money!"

Qin Moyu continued, "Times have changed. If you don't have money, you can take out a loan, sell your blood, become a male prostitute, pretend to be a beggar, or take on a part-time job. If you succeed in the future, you'll get everything back. If you don't even have the determination to make this kind of sacrifice, what are you doing as an Order Keeper..."

The classroom was completely silent. Everyone was stunned by the terrifying prospect of cultivation costs and the heavy burden of training for Order Beings. How much money would this require? They had previously thought that becoming an Order Being was success, but now it seemed like they had only just begun.

Zhou Ming frowned slightly. He had scraped together 200,000 yuan by selling everything he owned. If things continued like this, the Order Keepers really couldn't afford to play this game.

One of the boys asked, "My family has already tried everything to get a loan, but we can't get another one. We're considering selling our blood or becoming a male prostitute. Do you have any connections, teacher?"

"Those who are interested can contact me privately, or I can arrange connections for you. Remember, all sacrifices now are worthwhile. These three years of university are the fastest path to advancement in your life. If you miss this golden period, it will be much harder later!"

Qin Moyu's expression softened slightly: "However, let's settle today's tuition first. 200,000 is fine, and 20,000 for extracurricular services can be paid in kind, meaning you can work! We'll talk about the rest later!"

As he spoke, he picked up a blackboard that had been prepared beforehand, on which more than thirty kinds of jobs were listed: "Work-for-pay means that in addition to attending classes, you will work for the school. However, let me make this clear beforehand: if you neglect your cultivation because of work, you will be criticized in the monthly exam. Three criticisms will result in expulsion! Choose!"

Zhou Ming felt like he was being forced to work like a beast of burden at school. This terrible fate was something he couldn't escape in this life or the next. He looked at the blackboard and immediately locked onto a job. His heart started pounding: a furnace worker, a job even dogs wouldn't do!

Every week, senior students would accompany their teachers to the wasteland to hunt down "divine" creatures for trials. The corpses would be brought back to the school, and dissections would yield useful crystals, herbs, and furs. However, most of the divine creature corpses were useless and could only be thrown into the incinerator to be burned.

The furnace operator position was filled by a senior, experienced worker and a student. However, the job was thankless, dirty, and exhausting; even dogs wouldn't bother with it…

Damn it! If the dog won't do it, I will!

A bizarre corpse!

This job is a perfect match for my profession as a god-killer; my future depends on it!

As for those miscellaneous fees that Teacher Qin mentioned, we'll talk about them later!

……

After class, Zhou Ming, carrying the "Healer's Vitality Mindset Book" and the "Healer's Skills Book" that Teacher Qin had sold him, headed to the Burial Mound Courtyard.

As soon as I stepped out of the classroom, I saw the two geniuses, "Mage" Ye Chen and "Gun Master" Bai Muwan, being fawned over by a group of teachers.

"Ye and Bai, all your expenses from now on will be waived, and you will also receive appropriate scholarships!"

"Not only that, all kinds of medicines, supplements and nutritional products are covered by the school. After graduation, job placement is guaranteed. Whether you join the army or work in various departments of the State Council, we will arrange everything."

The East China Sea Base has a population of over three million and ten universities. The ranking of each university reflects the kind of students it has produced. For example, the top-ranked "Extraordinary University" has produced three members of parliament, nine directors-level leaders, twenty-six generals, and countless other elites from all walks of life. It is so prestigious that it has no friends.

Zhou Ming sighed with emotion. There's no comparison between people. Although Ye Chen and Bai Muwan are geniuses, they don't have to pay for school, have unlimited resources, don't have to worry about anything, and are even fawned over by the school, they have also lost the joy of being on welfare and furnace workers!

Turning away, he hurried off and soon arrived outside the cemetery. From a distance, he could see a plume of thick smoke and a foul stench permeating the air.

The dialog box bubble reappeared:

[The environment is terrible; it's of no benefit to your Order training here. Leave immediately.]

Zhou Ming was elated. Great! This place has been recognized!

Just then, a gruff voice came from the courtyard: "So you're Zhou Ming, right? You've got good taste, kid. Come on in and get to work!"

As Zhou Ming entered the courtyard, he was immediately struck by the mountain of bizarre and extraordinary corpses: crustaceans the size of water buffaloes, worms as thick as buckets and three meters long, three-headed, blue-faced, fanged monsters, birds the size of locomotives, apes and primates, and so on.

Opposite was a huge incinerator inlaid with special crystals. A gaunt old man with gray hair, wearing a dirty apron, was using an iron hook to drag three bizarre corpses into the furnace, a gloating expression on his face. He casually tossed an iron hook over:

"He's a rare talent. Ordinary students would never know the benefits of working here. My name is Lao Lü. From now on, you'll work for me. Hurry up, we need to finish before dark!"

I suspect you're being sarcastic, just like the "dialogue bubble."

Zhou Ming reluctantly tore his gaze away from the bizarre corpse and asked, "Is it just the two of us?"

This is such a big lump; it'll probably take a long time to finish it all in one day.

"Am I not human? Zhou Ming, you're like a persistent ghost, following me all the way here. A lowly, bottom-tier healer like you, a cheater on an exam, will only rot in the mud. I'll never give you a second glance!"

A clear, cool, mature female voice suddenly rang out from afar.

Zhou Ming looked in the direction of the sound and saw a girl with a bun hairstyle, a slender figure, and a pretty face, cleaning up the ash from the monster's corpse behind the boiler with a shovel.

Zhou Ming thought for a moment. The original owner had licked this girl's lips. Her name was Lin Ya. She was also a freshman in college. She was a "water-type mage" with a cold personality and a high opinion of herself.

However, although she is not a gifted mage, she is a top-tier Orderkeeper and comes from a well-off family. So why did she end up here?

He fell into deep thought, ignoring her, which confirmed the fact that I had come to lick her boots. He was also a little cowardly; ignoring her would be a waste of time. Finally, he made up his mind and said, "You're a piece of shit! Your mother is dead! Everything bounces back!"

The pride and aloofness on Lin Ya's face instantly turned into disbelief and shock; her mind went blank.

Old Lu also opened his mouth, clearly not expecting Zhou Ming's verbal sparring to be so powerful. Seeing Lin Ya about to explode, he immediately reprimanded her in a stern voice: "No arguing, or you'll lose points!"

Lin Ya then shoveled away the ashes with boundless hatred.

Zhou Ming also picked up the iron hook and walked towards the strange corpse "Xiaoshan". He hooked a huge bird monster corpse with his left hand. It was very heavy, weighing no less than four or five hundred pounds. It was only because he had awakened the Order that he was exhausted after pulling two or three of them.

He glanced at Lao Lü and Lin Ya discreetly, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the bird's strange head. The feathers, which looked soft, were as hard as iron. The next moment, a vortex appeared in his palm, and an imperceptible suction force instantly swept over the monster's entire body. Then, three strange forces arrived.

He turned around abruptly and saw three blurry characters appear before his eyes:

[Realm +0.5%]

[Flying Eagle Claw +0.7%]

[Non-attribute Strength +0.03]

This is……

What is the entry for "psychic manifestation"?

It is said that high-level Order Keepers can use mental projection to view their own attributes.

But, can someone of his own level, an Order Being, also see it?

No, these are three powers absorbed from the corpse of the bird-like monster!

This is the terrifying aspect of the "Godslayer"!

next moment,

His body trembled slightly, indicating that his level as a "god-killer" had clearly improved by a fraction.

Then a shallow, incomplete claw-like offensive skill belonging to a "god-killer" surfaced in his mind!

There was still a power without any attribute left, rampaging through my body and making my whole body itchy.

With a thought, he added this wisp of attribute-less power to his defense!

In the future, when encountering danger, especially since the healer is openly weak in defense, being able to withstand beatings is the most important factor!

Sure enough, the wisp of attribute-less power was digested, and the body seemed to have become a bit more "resilient"!

At this point, the "dialogue bubble" reappeared:

Sixth Brother, you're doing bad things; you're destined to fail.

He glanced at Lao Lü and Lin Ya again cautiously, and when he found that they still didn't notice anything, his eyes lit up!

He hurriedly threw the "Flying Eagle" corpse into the furnace, then went to hook another corpse.

This time it was a worm-like "mystery," slightly lighter, weighing around 300 pounds. Following the same method, I quietly placed my right hand on the worm's forehead.

next moment:

[Realm +0.4%]

[Non-attribute Strength +0.02]

[Giant Bobbitt Entanglement +0.2%]

Different types of mythical corpses absorb different levels of "realm advancement value" and "attributeless power value", but the monsters' own "offensive techniques" are copied exactly?

A thought struck him, and the instant the three powers entered his body, he immediately switched, concealing the "Godslayer" profession and taking control of the "Healer" profession!

Soon, the level of the healer's profession improved significantly.

A skill unique to healers also came to mind, but it had changed. Instead of directly copying [Giant Bobbit Entangling Silk], it was a strange passive buff skill called [Spiritual Battle Activation], which could temporarily increase the strength of other classes.

Become!

Although the absorbed healing skills have changed and no longer copied the supernatural skills, these practical skills are more suitable for healers. Skills that involve fighting people directly would feel somewhat out of place.

The "Godslayer" profession can truly benefit the "Healer" profession, as they share the same body and can switch between them at will!

That's awesome! Dual cultivation! Two major order professions progressing and growing together!

The feeling of sneaking around and leveling up is amazing!
