Starting with summoning the succubus

Whether or not he owns a house is not important; that's not something he needs to consider right now.

He makes money mainly from four things.

1. Purchase Elena's upgrade materials. You can buy all of these for around 10. Even if you want to be the best, buying the highest tier will only cost you 20 at most.

2. Purchasing the materials needed to activate the power of the savage demon will also cost around 10.

3. Purchase the materials needed to activate the Winged Demon's power, which will cost around 20.

4. Purchase the queen insect, the kind of bioluminescent queen insect from Ye Sen, which has a market price of around 30.

If things go well, it's even possible that Qi Lin won't need to spend a single penny on items 1, 2, and 3.

After all, on the day Louisa's father arrived at the winter camp, he said that the top three students would be summoned by Mayor Dawn, who would provide them with some assistance.

When Qi Lin raises these three requests, the mayor might be so pleased that he'll grant them on his behalf.

As for the fourth request to buy insects, it's hard to explain. If I make up a reason, I don't know if the mayor will believe it... Anyway, Qi Lin felt that it was better to keep things related to the stat-adding system a secret, so he didn't want to trouble the mayor.

The Queen Noctiluca scintillans costs 30 each.

However, the queen insect needs a suitable environment to lay eggs, and Qilin does not have the laboratory conditions like Ye Sen.

In other words, buying just one queen insect isn't enough; he also needs to buy a portable, all-in-one insect nesting box. The price of that depends on the specific insect; the price of the box varies depending on the type of insect, and there are different tiers available.

Oh, and there's also feed and stuff. He didn't have to worry about these things in the lab before, as Ye Sen would take care of feeding them during the day. But now that he's raising insects himself, he'll have to buy feed himself.

But no matter what, 216 million should be enough for him to spend!

A single bioluminescent beetle queen lays 1000 eggs and accumulates 1,000 experience points per day.

What about the other two? Or the three?

Qi Lin seemed to see an endless wave of experience rushing towards him... However, the waves rose higher and higher, and finally, what came to him riding the waves was the figure of a woman in a white dress.

Jiang Ruobai from the Second Hospital.

"The time for cooperation has come."

Jiang Ruobai approached Qi Lin and smiled at him, saying, "I have come up with a perfect personnel allocation tactic that is enough to exhaust Lu Chengfeng and his men to the extreme. Come on, let's gather the people from the Second and Third Academies together for a short meeting."

"Uh, no."

Qi Lin shook his head and politely declined, saying, "I've decided to run for the title of champion, so there's no need for any cooperation."

"what?"

Jiang Ruobai was stunned, as if he didn't believe he had heard correctly. "Compete for the title of champion? Are you crazy! This year is different from last year. Last year, the champion only had to fight 6 people. This year, the champion... if you become the champion, you'll have to fight 18 people in a row! Are you really crazy for money?!"

Qi Lin shrugged noncommittally.

"you……"

Jiang Ruobai pointed at his nose, hesitated for a moment, then angrily turned and left, returning to the Second Hospital's group.

"What's going on, sis?"

"That guy's gone crazy with poverty!"

"???"

……

Over at the First Affiliated Hospital, Lu Chengfeng gazed at the situation from afar, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Brother Feng, do you want to be the champion?"

Fan Fei leaned closer and asked.

Do I look like a penniless wretch who's gone crazy with poverty?

Lu Chengfeng gave him a cold glance, then said in a deep voice, "You'll be the first one up later. Run around the edge of the arena and wear down Qi Lin's stamina and magic. Wear down as much as you can, understand?"

"Ah, ah?"

Fan Fei was stunned, pointing to his own nose, "Me?"

"You have a problem with that?"

Lu Chengfeng frowned.

"N-nothing..."

Fan Fei lowered his head, inwardly groaning.

……

Qi Lin sat under the tree, picked up his phone, and opened the group chat.

Three days ago, Song Junda compiled the information he knew into a table and sent it to the group. The 18 data sets in the table were all the final grades of the students from the First and Second Affiliated Hospitals.

However, there are only three people among them who can truly put pressure on Qi Lin.

Lu Chengfeng

[Sequence: True Qi Warrior]

[Strength: Tier 1, 9 stars]

[Agility: Tier 1, 7 stars]

[Defense: Tier 1, 9 stars]

[Spirit: Tier 1, 9 stars]

[Qi: Tier 1, 9 Stars]

There's not much to say about this guy; he's undoubtedly a warrior, most skilled in close combat, and likes to use brass knuckles as a weapon. He once defeated a second-tier transcendent being, making him Qi Lin's most powerful opponent.

Jiang Ruobai

[Sequence: Musician]

[Three aspects of physical body: omitted]

[Spirit: Tier 1, 9 stars]

[Psychic Power: Tier 9, 1 Star]

Students in this sequence lack the relevant extraordinary energy, so their physical training efficiency is quite low. They are not usually required to test physical-related data in exams. Therefore, the data for the three physical aspects are [omitted].

In short, what we really need to focus on regarding Jiang Ruobai is her mental strength and telekinesis.

【Psychic Power】is an invisible and colorless extraordinary energy that has excellent compatibility with 【Mental Power】. When the two are combined, the power that can be unleashed is quite terrifying.

Jiang Ruobai's greatest skill lies in using the sound of the flute to carry his mental and spiritual power, thereby unleashing various illusions and sonic attacks.

Amy Lilith

[Sequence: Beastmaster]

[Three aspects of physical body: omitted]

[Spirit: Tier 1, 9 stars]

[Beast Taming Power: Tier 1, 9 Stars]

This white girl was a student at the Second Academy. She was withdrawn, taciturn, and quite unsociable. She wasn't familiar with her classmates like Jiang Ruobai, and Qi Lin knew even less about her.

Moreover, Qi Lin noticed that the girl seemed to only smile when she was facing her own pet beast.

The Beast Tamer category consists of individuals who can use the [Beast Taming Power] to add various enhancements to their pets. Although their own strength is relatively weak, the enhanced pets are quite ferocious.

Some might say, "Isn't this easy to handle? Just bypass the pet and deal with the beast tamer first."

Everyone understands the principle of "capture the king first to catch the thief."

However, knowing how to do something and being able to do it are two different things.

-

These three people are Qi Lin's true rivals.

As for the others?

It's just a side dish.

……

……

Soon, the time Chi Yinghao had given everyone to adjust their state came to an end.

"Everyone, gather!"

Chi Yinghao shouted in a deep voice, drawing everyone's attention to him.

At the same time, a circular magic circle emitting an earthy yellow light rapidly formed around his feet, with a diameter of more than two hundred meters, directly covering a large area of ​​snow.

"This is a second-tier magic circle - Earth Bearing".

Chi Yinghao stomped his foot, stepping on the yellow magic circle beneath him, and looked at the group of students. "This magic circle is your arena. For many students, this magic circle is indestructible. However, some of you have the potential to destroy this magic circle. I look forward to seeing that."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of many students turned to Lu Chengfeng, Jiang Ruobai, and Qi Lin.

How many people can unleash second-tier destructive power at the first-tier level?

"Alright, the three-school tournament is about to begin!"

Chi Yinghao put his hands behind his back, scanned the crowd, and asked, "Come on, is there anyone who wants to run for the title of champion?"

"I."

Qi Lin stepped forward without hesitation.

Chapter 69: The Gauntlet Battle Begins!

"The three academies have all arrived, intending to compete for the title of champion."

Chi Yinghao glanced at Qi Lin in front of him, then looked towards the Second Hospital and the First Hospital, "Is there anyone else? Anyone who wants to compete with him?"

"..."
