Chapter 44: The Cost of Sun Fruits

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

New Era, Year 123, October 4th.

After the monthly exam ended, everyone returned to school.

In those three days, some people bravely faced danger head-on and some trembled in fear.

Once it ended, the rewards for their bravery were exchanged for money, and they couldn’t help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

Those who had been trembling in fear at the start were now regretting their hesitance. They should have just gone for it! They could have potentially become the next millionaire!

When they returned to school, Shen Yanhu didn’t rush them home. Instead, he booked a restaurant next to the school to celebrate their merits.

49 people crowded in the restaurant, sharing their experiences over the past three days.

Chu Lingjun was naturally surrounded by many students and became the focus of the conversation.

Chu Lingjun smiled and responded to them one by one. He didn’t say any condescending remarks, making everyone respect and trust him even more.

Soon, all kinds of delicacies and fruit juices were served, and the atmosphere peaked.

“First of all, I would like to congratulate all of you for passing this wilderness training. I am very proud of you!” Shen Yanhu raised the glass of orange juice in his hand.

“Thank you, sir!” Everyone raised their glasses in response.

“Alright, since everyone has worked hard, you all deserve a treat. Everyone can eat, drink, and order whatever they want.”

“Haha, thank you, sir. I’ll start with this one!”

“Before you start ordering…” Shen Yanhu’s smile faded slightly as he said seriously, “I want to talk to you about something serious.”

Everyone was bothered by Shen Yanhu’s expression and quieted down.

Seeing that everyone was looking over, Shen Yanhu said in a deep voice, “That is, in this monthly exam, many students have gained quite a lot, so I would like to make a serious suggestion here. In the next one or two months. Since you have more than enough to last, no one is allowed to leave the city, and no one is allowed to go to some remote places. There is much-needed rest to pursue.”

When Shen Yanhu said this, his eyes shone brightly as he stared at all the students in the hall.

Everyone who was enjoying the food was stunned. Some of the students were even more confused, not understanding what Shen Yanhu meant.

Chu Lingjun, who was sitting in his seat, stiffened as he suddenly thought of something.

At this moment, Shen Yanhu lowered his head and looked at Chu Lingjun. “Chu Lingjun, do you understand what I mean? You’ve gained more than enough, and many people in our town might not be able to earn as much as you in their entire lives. Do. You. Understand?”

“Yes, sir.” Chu Lingjun exhaled softly and said in a deep voice.

This world was not the same one that Chu Lingjun lived in in his previous life.

Although Quicksand Town had the protection of the army outside the city and the security of the city guards, in times of war, all kinds of dirty tricks will be played. The government isn’t able to take care of every corner of the city.

For example, Chu Lingjun would often hear all kinds of news about perverted murderers found in the urban areas, bloodthirsty killers roaming the streets, a rich man’s daughter being kidnapped, and even some heretic cult followers swindling lonely women.

In this world with supernatural powers, the security was much more tight than

Chu Lingjun hesitated for a moment before taking out a bank card from his pocket and handing it to Shen Yanhu.

“Sir, this is the bank card that the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce gave me. I think I should leave it with you first. Can you help me keep it?”

An ordinary man would not get into trouble, but he was now a millionaire!

Shen Yanhu was right. He had too much money on him and he couldn’t defend

Shen Yanhu smiled. This kid was very nimble!

Moreover, they were in a public area. Giving him the bank card in front of so many students was a wise idea.

Shen Yanhu would not dare to refuse his student in front of so many people.

Chu Lingjun was killing two birds with one stone!

Shen Yanhu wouldn’t covet Chu Lingjun’s one million dollars. After all, he only needed to hunt a few exotic beasts outside the city to earn the same amount.

However, as the saying goes, one must be on guard against others. Chu Lingjun’s move was perfectly executed.

The other students in the class quickly understood Chu Lingjun’s motive for doing this. Some of them hesitated for a moment before handing their bank cards to Shen Yanhu as well and asking him to keep it safe.

Most of the people who did this were ordinary people with no strong background like Chu Lingjun.

As for Ding Peng and Chen Zhiqi, they naturally did not need to comply. They could keep the money in their hands.

After a simple interlude, everyone continued to eat, drink, laugh, and play. The atmosphere was harmonious.

“Sir, I’d like to discuss something with you.” Halfway through the meal, Chu Lingjun found Shen Yanhu.

“Hmm?”

“My dad is a soldier in the frontline. He has been stuck at ninety-nine points for a long time…”

Chu Lingjun briefly explained his father’s situation to Shen Yanhu.

“I understand what you mean.” After listening to Chu Lingjun’s story, Shen Yanhu looked at Chu Lingjun in surprise and gratitude.

“You want to buy the Sun Fruit for your father so that he can break through to a Rank Two martial artist, right? And you want to ask me how many Sun Fruits you would need to buy, as well as some details of how to consume them?” “Yes.” Chu Lingjun nodded.

“You’ve got a good heart kid, but it’s a little taken for granted.” Shen Yanhu couldn’t help but laugh when he heard this.

“What do you mean?” Chu Lingjun was stunned.

“Normally, everyone would buy three Sun Fruits.”

“The Sun Fruit is a special treasure. It will only have a strong effect when you consume it the first time. The more you eat it, the lesser the effects. The effect will stagnate by the third fruit, and the fourth fruit will be a waste. However…’ Shen Yanhu suddenly paused and looked at Chu Lingjun with a smile.

“If three Sun Fruits could help your father breakthrough, then why hasn’t your father bought one for all these years?

“The price of the Sun Fruit has dropped. Three fruits will only cost around three hundred thousand dollars.

“Your father has been a soldier for so many years. If he really wanted it, he would have saved some money or gotten a loan, right?

“I know that your family’s situation is rather special, but if you can break through to a Rank Two martial artist, his cash flow will definitely multiply. It’s not difficult to earn back the 300,000 dollars. I’m surprised your father did not think of all of this.”

Shen Yanhu’s words were like a bolt of lightning that struck Chu Lingiun straight to the core!

He’s right!

Although the family was in financial constraints now, there was a huge difference between a Rank One and a Rank Two martial artist.. If he could really break through, his father would’ve done anything to break through!
