When he looked up, he saw his brother-in-law staring at him with an unfriendly expression. His eyes were filled with warning. Lin Xiao also sat there obediently with his hands in his chest.
"Damn, why is my brother-in-law here?"
Although the mid-term exam's standards were high, with his brother-in-law's identity, there was no need to trouble such a big shot to escort him, right? Was he here to protect his sister?
Xia Yu stared at Lin Xiao fiercely and then looked at his sister who was sitting there obediently. Both of them were doing the same thing, and he didn't know what to say.
It wasn't that he really hated him, but he just found out that his sister was taken away by a pig before he could dote on her for long. He felt an inexplicable anger in his heart.
He snorted coldly, and Lin Xiao heard his brother-in-law's voice.
"Follow me."
After he finished speaking, he walked out of the room with his hands behind his back. He looked up and met Shen Yuexin's eyes. She stuck out her tongue and stood up.
"Hurry up, or brother will get angry."
When the two of them stood up, the others at the round table looked at them strangely. They didn't seem to have seen their brother-in-law who had just appeared.
There was a corridor outside the room, and there were rows of rooms along the corridor. The two of them came to a room with an open door and entered. Xia Yu was sitting inside, looking at something. When he saw his sister asking him to sit down with a smile, he ignored her. It was Little Aunt who pulled his clothes and sat down, causing his brother-in-law to stare at him unkindly.
The two of them sat for a while, and Xia Yu kept looking at something. He seemed to want to ignore him, but when she said "brother", he couldn't pretend anymore.
He sighed and looked at the two of them. Finally, his gaze fell on him. He unwillingly stretched out his hand and threw a crystal card with a strange pattern to him.
Lin Xiao hurriedly caught it. It was cold and hard, but he didn't know what it was made of or what it was used for.
"Okay, you can go now."
An invisible force made him stand up and walk out of the room involuntarily.
Before he went out, he saw his brother-in-law take out a dozen crystal cards and put them in Shen Yuexin's hand. He said, "Keep them safe.
"Keep this well. When the time comes to enter the Wanxiang Ruins, each card can directly choose an initial option and can be stacked repeatedly."
Lin Xiao …
Bang!
The door closed. He stood at the door and looked at the card in his hand, speechless.
Obviously, this thing was an extra resource at the beginning of the game. One piece represented an extra set. Thinking about the dozen pieces in his little aunt's hands, this was equivalent to cheating at the beginning of the game. Moreover, she had cheated more than ten times.
It had to be said that the difference in resources between those born with a good background and those born with an ordinary background was too great. At the very least, Lin Xiao's family couldn't provide him with anything in this situation.
This wasn't a matter of whether the family was willing to give it to him or not. Rather, it was simply impossible for them to do so. This was a privilege, and ordinary True God families had no way of obtaining additional privileges from the Wanxiang Ruins.
Lin Xiao flipped the crystal card back and forth. He shrugged and put it away. In any case, it was an extra resource for the start of the game. It would be a waste not to take it.
Without waiting for Little Aunt, he walked towards the meeting room with his hands behind his back. Just as he reached the door, the door of another room was pushed open. The class teacher, Jin Sisi, walked out and waved at him.
"Come here."
Then, six similar crystal cards were handed to him.
"When you enter the Wanxiang Ruins, each card will receive an additional initial option that can be stacked repeatedly."
"Ahem!"
A smile immediately appeared on Lin Xiao's face. He took the six cards and asked casually as he put them away.
"Does everyone have this or am I the only one who has this?"
"This is the privilege assigned by the school, as well as my personal privilege."
Speaking of this, her expression turned serious and she said in a deep voice,
"I'm not putting all the privileges on you without a price. If you can't get a good enough result this time, the share of resources allocated to me by the school will decrease. This will affect my evaluation for this semester and the resources you can obtain in the future. Therefore, you have to do your best!"
Lin Xiao nodded seriously.
"I won't let you down."
"Well then, you can go back first."
When he returned to the original room, Shen Yuexin was already sitting there chatting with the only other girl in the team. The other male students were also chatting with each other. When they saw him enter, they all stopped.
Gu Xiaoming and Yun Shaoning nodded at him. This made him quite surprised that Yun Shaoning was able to squeeze in.
Then, Li Xiushen and Dongfang Piao Xue nodded at him. They had talked before and agreed not to attack each other in the Wanxiang Ruins.
Other than them, he didn't know the remaining eight people.
This time, there were a total of fifteen students going to the Wanxiang Ruins, including Lin Xiao. Ten of them were from the school, six from One Middle School, four from No. 2 Middle School, and the remaining five were from individuals. Lin Xiao guessed that they were from the families behind them.
All fifteen of them came with their avatars. The ones sitting there were all avatars. No one dared to come with their real bodies.
They were all familiar with each other and recognized each other, but Lin Xiao didn't recognize any of them.
When he sat down, Dongfang Piao Xue, the handsome man with snow-white eyebrows, stood up and said,
"Everyone knows that the participants of the Wanxiang Ruins this time are from the top four forces of the Autonomous World, as well as the descendants of the top True Gods and aristocratic families. The competition is very fierce. Although we are divided into One Middle School and No. 2 Middle School, we belong to Radiance. When the time comes, we have to unite against the outsiders."
Li Xiushen also stood up and said, "Radiance from Radiance is from Radiance.
Because of this, we will definitely face more challenges when the time comes. In particular, those who are not from Huaxia Super Schools will definitely not be convinced by us. According to past situations, there will definitely be challengers before we enter the ruins. When the time comes, we can share the pressure and avoid making a fool of ourselves in front of hundreds of millions of spectators from the Main World. "
"Hundreds of millions of spectators from the Main World?"
Lin Xiao whispered to Shen Yuexin. She replied, "The rules are a little different this time.
"There are some changes to the rules this time. I heard that a True God with a Divine Title of Gambling and Betting has persuaded the guardian of the Vientiane Ruins to open it to the public. He has also set up an official lottery center to allow people to place bets."
"Ah …"
Lin Xiao opened his mouth wide in surprise.
"That works too?"
"Why not? It's not like it hasn't happened in history. It happens once every one or two hundred years. Many people have made a fortune by relying on this."
The one who explained was Li Xiushen.
He smiled and said, "This is actually a good thing for us. If we perform well in the ruins, we can directly show it in front of hundreds of millions of spectators. This is a kind of qualification, which is very beneficial to our reputation. As long as we are strong enough, we can be ranked on the Exceptional List or the Heroes List immediately after the event ends. There is no need for cumbersome inspection and verification procedures. Moreover, after we are admitted to a university in the future, we can easily get sponsorship no matter if we establish a Divine System or do anything else."
"Moreover, we can also place bets on ourselves."
Dongfang Piao Xue's white eyebrows twitched. He said to Lin Xiao,
"If you are confident, you can evaluate your ranking according to your strength and place bets on yourself. If you win, you will make a lot of money."
At this point, a young man with a blue halo in his pupils that contracted inward said,
"It is said that there was a big upset more than two thousand years ago. There was a contestant with average strength who bet on himself to get first place. As a result, he really succeeded. Not only did he rely on the resources rewarded for the first place to cross the natural chasm and enter the Heavenly Legends List, but the prize money he won also made his wealth soar. In an instant, it was comparable to all the assets of a small Divine System."
"Comparable to the assets of a small Divine System?"
This example was very tempting. Lin Xiao immediately had an idea. When the time came, he might be able to give himself a wave of benefits.
Suddenly, he thought of something and quickly asked,
"By the way, can we bet on ourselves?"
Li Xiushen shook his head and said,
"Definitely not, but you can ask your family or friends to help you bet. Also, don't expect to take advantage of the loopholes. It is impossible to let you bet on yourself or when you will lose."
Lin Xiao was speechless.
With a topic, the group of young people quickly chatted. Then, everyone introduced themselves.
"Lin Xiao, from Second High School."
"Li Xiushen, from One Middle School."
"Dongfang Piao Xue, from One Middle School."
.....
"Lin Huang Yu, from One Middle School."
"Xu Zhen, from One Middle School."
"Yun Yi, from One Middle School."
"Lu Zhou, from One Middle School."
.....
Good lord, they were all from One Middle School. Out of the 15 people, 11 of them were from One Middle School. Only 4 of them were from Second High School. The gap was a bit big.
The rest of the time passed as everyone chatted. Although Lin Xiao's background was the worst, he had used his strength to let them put aside their prejudice. Or rather, in the eyes of these elite young people, Lin Xiao, who had such potential, was destined to be on the same level as them in the future. Naturally, they could talk about it.
After all, there was an old saying in Huaxia that had been passed down until now.
"Kings, lords, generals, and ministers, it is better to have guts!"
The ancestors of many of the young people present also started as ordinary people. They grew up step by step and finally became gods. Even Shen Yuexin's father, that great existence, started as an ordinary person.
But fortunately, her father was still alive. If it was another rich family, he might not even have the chance to pursue her.
The void battleship they were on had just come out of Yanhuang No. 2 super war fortress and was heading to the Vientiane Ruins' Crystal Wall System.
Normally, one could directly teleport to the Crystal Wall System in the Chaos Void Sea through various super war fortresses. However, the Crystal Wall System where the Vientiane Ruins was located was different from other Crystal Wall Systems. According to the information given by their homeroom teacher, as a Crystal Wall System that was once conquered by the top academy, Vientiane, it was indeed possible to directly teleport there a long time ago.
However, with a great change, the Vientiane God System, which was recognized by billions of gods in the Main World as the 13th Super Academy of the Main World, was destroyed. Millions of gods died in that great change, and even the Crystal Wall System collapsed, shrunk, and collapsed in that earth-shattering change.
Now, the passageways to the outside world had basically disappeared, including the passageway to the Main World. If one wanted to go there now, one must first go to the Vientiane Temple in a Crystal Wall System that was at the edge of Vientiane. Only by going through the remaining six Godhoods of the Vientiane God System and above could one enter the collapsed Crystal Wall System.
