"Alright, then let's choose Ji Fei's independent courtyard."
Mu Jinyu quickly made the decision.
Firstly, when he killed Ji Fei, he didn't find his Qiankun Ring.
He thought, maybe Ji Fei had already anticipated dying at his hands during the final battle, so he didn't bring the Qiankun Ring, possibly hiding it in his house.
Secondly, almost all the independent courtyards for interdiate students in Dongyue Mansion were previously occupied, essentially second-hand houses.
In that case, why should he disdain staying in Ji Fei's house?
After killing the person, taking over his house feels quite satisfying!
"Alright, co with , I'll take you to Ji Fei's previous independent courtyard."
Xuu Lin saw Mu Jinyu was interested in Ji Fei's house, said nothing, nodded, and then signaled him to follow her.
"Okay, Instructor Xuu."
Mu Jinyu got up, said a word to Ji Xiaoyun and Chu Huannian, and then followed Xuu Lin out of the small wooden house.
Following Xuu Lin out of the shabby dormitory area for beginner students, they quickly arrived at a nicely constructed courtyard area.
Each courtyard generally occupied several acres, with rockeries, fish ponds, pavilions, and towers, far superior to the broken wooden dormitories of beginner students.
"This is Ji Fei's courtyard; from now on, it will be yours..."
Xuu Lin brought Mu Jinyu to a courtyard with the sign "Number 96" and said to Mu Jinyu.
'Number 96.'
Mu Jinyu looked at this house number, wondering if it related to strength, or was it just an ordinary house number?
"Instructor Xuu, is this house number based on the strength ranking of interdiate students?"
Mu Jinyu finally asked directly.
Xuu Lin glanced at him, nodded with a smile: "Yes, there are around five to six hundred interdiate students in Dongyue Mansion, and Ji Fei originally ranked at 96, which was pretty impressive."
"I see." Mu Jinyu nodded slightly, then asked, "So, are there any rewards for higher student rankings?"
"Yes," Xuu Lin replied. "The first-ranked interdiate student receives a monthly reward of one thousand credits, the second-ranked eight hundred credits, and the third-ranked six hundred credits. Ranks fourth to tenth get five hundred credits."
"Ranks eleven to fifty receive three hundred credits, ranks fifty-one to one hundred get a hundred credits, but the students after that receive nothing."
"A reward of one hundred credits, that's quite generous!"
Upon hearing Xuu Lin's explanation, Mu Jinyu's eyes lit up with delight.
He had joined Dongyue Mansion, expending much effort during the induction training to earn first place, which only rewarded him one hundred credits.
Yet, after becoming an interdiate student, just ranking between fifty-one and one hundred yields a monthly reward of one hundred credits.
If ranked first, it's even better, with a thousand credits every month.
How many Life and Death Divine Weapons could he buy with that?
Xuu Lin saw Mu Jinyu's slightly surprised expression, knowing what he was thinking, and recognizing he didn't fully understand the rules of Dongyue Mansion, thus reminded him: "Of course, there's no such thing as a free lunch. After becoming an interdiate student, living here, you will need to pay fifty credits each month as accommodation fees."
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Jinyu tilted his head toward Xuu Lin and said, "So, it's only a fifty-credit reward?"
His tone was slightly sullen, feeling that the reward Xuu Lin ntioned sounded better than it actually was.
Xuu Lin smiled gently and said, "That's for those among the top one hundred who receive at least a hundred-credit reward, it can be offset by giving fifty credits. Whereas for those ranked beyond one hundred, there's no credit reward!"
"Therefore, becoming an interdiate student is quite challenging, requiring constant tasks each month to earn credits to offset the accommodation fees!"
"Then it seems better not to beco one," Mu Jinyu considered the normal interdiate students' situation, feeling they were working extrely hard to earn credits just to live here, was it not quite a loss?
It might be better to remain as a beginner student obediently.
Xuu Lin laughed: "It's not as bad as you think. Being an interdiate student has many benefits, like being allowed to recruit three maids..."
"Hmm." Mu Jinyu nodded slightly; aiming for this benefit, he must beco an interdiate student, even though losing fifty credits each month left him sullen, he had no choice.
After all, to him, it was like coming for free.
Xuu Lin continued: "Besides, interdiate students don't need to attend lectures at the classroom like beginner students; instead, they can directly spend credits to have instructors teach them at their residence, to solve their doubts!"
"Of course, although this requires spending more credits than attending lectures at the classroom, the one-on-one guidance is clearly worth it, and many beginner students desire this privilege but can only attend lectures."
"Additionally, interdiate students gain access to training rooms, allowing entry into various training rooms within Dongyue Mansion by spending credits."
"There are Origin Qi Training Rooms suitable for your Foreign Race Bloodline cultivation, rooms for Sword Dao and Way of the Sword training, containing various Sword Intent, and other training rooms containing weak Law fragnts; all these are accessible as long as you have enough credits."
After speaking, Xuu Lin looked at Mu Jinyu with a smile and asked, "Now, do you still think being an interdiate student is worse than being a beginner? Is spending fifty credits on accommodation a loss?"
"Not at all!"
Mu Jinyu shook his head.
Although the Origin Qi Training Room suitable for Foreign Race Bloodline cultivation was not useful to him, the other training and cultivation rooms were quite beneficial to him.
And Dongyue Mansion's policy of charging fifty credits monthly as accommodation fees likely aid to motivate these interdiate students to earn more credits, instead of just earning so credits sufficient for their cultivation.
If they beco complacent, they will soon be expelled from the interdiate student ranks, losing these privileges.
"By the way, instructor, if credits are insufficient for a period, and I can't pay fifty credits that month, will I be imdiately expelled from the interdiate student ranks?"
Mu Jinyu asked.
Xuu Lin shook his head: "It's not that serious; as long as the double credits are made up next month, aning one hundred credits, and if double credits aren't paid the following month, the third month will require another doubling over the outstanding credits. After three months without settling the credit debt, the interdiate student qualification will be canceled; upon clearing the debt and passing further assessnts and evaluations, there will be a chance to beco an interdiate student again."
"Hmm, that seems reasonable."
Mu Jinyu nodded slightly.
He was truly concerned about if he had to leave for a while and didn't have ti to return to Dongyue Mansion within a month, and his account had just enough credits, wouldn't he be disqualified?
Luckily, with a three-month deadline, he doesn't have to worry too much!
And if there's a legitimate reason he can't return to Dongyue Mansion for three months, he won't care whether his interdiate student qualification is revoked.
