Yang Qingxuan's credits had always been zero, so naturally he had never been to the Credit Hall.
This time, he couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of him.
In an open space of more than a hundred acres, people came and went in an endless stream.
In the center, there was a ten-odd feet wide brick road that led directly to the Credit Hall. The open space on both sides of the road was divided into different areas. All kinds of stalls were arranged in rows, and the crowd was surging. It was extremely noisy.
It was a strong contrast to the usual "elegant and quiet" of the academy. It felt as if he had walked into a market square, or even a vegetable market.
"Are there really people selling vegetables? … "
Yang Qingxuan was stunned. About ten feet in front of him, there was a student in blue squatting. In front of him was a stall with more than ten winter gourd-like fruits, but they were only one-third the size of winter gourds. There were also some bracken-like plants.
The student shouted, "Green gourd, big green gourd, fragrant and sweet big green gourd. Malan fern, and Malan fern, delicious and beautiful Malan fern. "
Yang Qingxuan, "…"
"Big dragon sticklefish, freshly baked big dragon sticklefish. This student, do you want one? " A student on the left shouted at Yang Qingxuan. In his hand was a roasted fish wrapped in a lotus leaf, emitting waves of fragrance.
Yang Qingxuan remembered that he hadn't eaten for a few days. He didn't think it was fine, but once he thought about it, he felt hungry. He asked, "How much is this fish?"
The student hurriedly and politely said, "10 credits for one." He picked up a lotus leaf, wanting to wrap one for Yang Qingxuan.
"What?" Yang Qingxuan opened his mouth and said, "I didn't hear wrong, right? Collecting credits?"
The student's movements suddenly stopped. He looked up and down at him a few times, put the lotus leaf back, and said coldly, "Freshman?"
Yang Qingxuan's stomach growled. He nodded and said, "Yes."
The student impatiently waved his hand and said, "Freshman, scram, don't waste my time!"
Yang Qingxuan was depressed. He took out ten silver coins and handed them over. "I'm a newcomer, so I don't know much about the Credit Hall. Could you please explain a thing or two to me?"
The student's face turned even colder. He looked at the ten silver coins with contempt and said, "You want to bribe me? Am I that kind of person? "
Yang Qingxuan was even more depressed. He took out another fifty and handed them over.
Only then did the student's expression soften. He put away the silver coin and said, "You're too polite. It's just a question. Is there a need to be so polite? Speak, what's the matter? "
Yang Qingxuan pointed around and said gloomily, "Why are there still people selling vegetables …" It seemed inconvenient for him to finish his sentence.
The student snorted. "You're selling fish, right?"
Yang Qingxuan smiled.
The student sneered and said, "In front of the Credit Hall, all transactions are conducted using credits as the currency. Don't underestimate these vegetables and fish. If they can be exchanged for credits, then they must be extraordinary. "
He pointed at his fish and said, "This Dragon Bonefish comes from Divine Sound Mountain. It's a treasure of Amber Creek. The water of Amber Creek comes from Welcoming Dragon Pond. However, you're a freshman, so you don't know what Welcoming Dragon Pond is. That's a forbidden area in Divine Sound Mountain. Elder Lu Jiangpeng, one of the seven elders of the academy, cultivates there. If ordinary people were to enter, they would have to be carried out by the infirmary. "
He glanced at Yang Qingxuan contemptuously and said, "Be careful when you go to Divine Sound Mountain in the future. Don't accidentally enter Welcoming Dragon Pond."
Yang Qingxuan smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for telling me."
The student said proudly, "My Dragon Bonefish was born from the nourishment of Welcoming Dragon Pond. It contains extremely cold spiritual energy. After eating it, it can nourish the spleen and lungs and stimulate the meridians. It has an unexpected effect of clearing meridians and nourishing qi. If you're in White Water City, you won't be able to eat it unless you're a noble of the empire. "
He continued, "Look at the cucumbers and marigold ferns that shorty is selling. They're not ordinary vegetables. They're all produced in Divine Sound Mountain and are nourished by spiritual energy. After cooking and eating them, they can increase one's True Energy."
The cucumber-selling student turned around abruptly. His eyes were filled with anger as he shouted, "Pheasant, how dare you call me shorty? Didn't you get beaten up enough last time?!"
Pheasant was startled. He didn't expect the other party to hear him. He hurriedly apologized with a laugh.
Yang Qingxuan finally understood that everything sold here was beneficial for cultivation. Only cultivation resources were worth students spending credits to buy.
He walked along the main road and looked around. Some were selling clothes with gold and silver threads, which obviously had strong defensive capabilities. Some were selling pearls and jade, which were pure and transparent and emitted dense spiritual energy. Some were selling weapons, elixirs, martial arts techniques, and even space rings. There was a dazzling array of goods, and many of them made Yang Qingxuan's heart beat faster.
However, after asking about the prices, he suddenly felt uncomfortable. His few credits were only enough for him to eat a few fish and a few cucumbers.
"If you can't afford it, why ask about the price? What's the use of being handsome? You can't exchange your butt for credits! "
In front of a weapon stall, the seller saw that Yang Qingxuan was embarrassed and immediately waved his hand to chase him away.
Yang Qingxuan's self-esteem was hurt. He touched his hair provocatively and tidied his clothes. He raised his head and snorted before walking straight into the Credit Hall.
The Credit Hall was simple and grand. Inside, it was spacious and bright. Although it was noisy and lively, it was more solemn and serious than the outside. Everyone deliberately lowered their voices to communicate.
As soon as Yang Qingxuan entered, he was immediately attracted by the scene in front of him.
Above the spacious hall, jade-colored plates were flying in the air. There were more than a thousand of them, dazzling the eyes.
A strange force, like a never-ending gale, wrapped the jade-colored plates inside and repeatedly rotated in the air.
Yang Qingxuan was shocked. He looked carefully and didn't know what force was used to rotate the jade-colored plates. However, each of the jade-colored plates was transparent and sparkling, and all kinds of small words were engraved on them.
Below, hundreds of students looked up at the constantly changing jade-colored plates, looking for a mission suitable for them.
Yang Qingxuan's eyesight was very strong. He knew that the jade-colored plates were engraved with missions. When he looked carefully, he almost fainted. On each of the jade-colored plates, there were words written:
"The Floating Fragrance House will hold a banquet on the 2nd of September. Afraid that there won't be enough people, two students with good knife skills will be specially recruited to help kill chickens and sheep on that day. 9 credits."
"A lonely old woman, Feng Shi, has lost her husband for many years. Her heart is lonely. Specially recruited a talkative male student to accompany her. Four hours a day, 5 credits a day."
"I am Jia Da. Outside the city, I have three thousand hectares of fertile land. Because of the hot summer, I have specially recruited thirty nimble students to kill grain. 20 credits."
"Li PingEr, a big family in the west of the city. Over forty years old. Specially recruited a strong and muscular student to be her bodyguard. Duration: three months. 100 credits."
