Bai Pu understood that Spiritual Points were more precious and could be converted to money at any time; however, having money rarely gave you the opportunity to exchange for Spiritual Points.

Mostly because Awakened people generally don't lack money. The saying goes for rich in martial arts and poor in literature; those who can successfully reach the Critical Value of 20 points in Attributes and pass the trials, how many of them come from poor backgrounds?

People like Bai Pu are anomalies.

Even though Bai Pu was so poor, he couldn't bear to use Spiritual Points to exchange for money. Just like this equipment recycling, he still chose to settle it with Spiritual Points.

Su Xiaoxiao led Bai Pu to an abandoned equipment recycling warehouse, and Qilin shamelessly followed along, saying it was to broaden his horizons.

Bai Pu raised his hand, and piece after piece of abandoned equipment poured out from Storage Space, forming a small stream of equipment!

Qilin's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"Goodness, how many pieces of equipment are there? Did you empty the entire Bone Mountain Range?"

"It's just 10 cubic meters of equipment." Bai Pu shook his head and said, "The Bone Mountain Range is very big, I probably only cleared 90% of the skeleton monsters in the Black Mist Valley."

"90% of the entire Black Mist Valley..." Qilin muttered to himself.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly called to the base staff to come over to sort, then weigh them, while she handled the pricing.

While waiting, Bai Pu pulled out a book again.

"Bai Pu, have you ever thought of giving yourself a code name?" Qilin whispered, "How about going with the zoo theme, keeping in line with us? I've even thought of one for you."

Bai Pu didn't even look up, multitasking while saying, "Qilin is not a zoo theme."

"Hey, my name is Kong Qi, that's why I'm called Qilin, who says a Divine Beast isn't an animal." Qilin continued in a low voice, "You could be... Honey Badger, isn't that cool?"

Honey Badger, known as the fearless animal of the animal kingdom, somehow Qilin felt it suited Bai Pu very well.

"No."

Bai Pu ended the conversation and continued reading.

"All right, the total is... 10,928 Spiritual Points." Su Xiaoxiao pulled Bai Pu to look at the itemized list.

Bai Pu glanced at it, confirmed it correct, and nodded his agreement. After the transaction, his Spiritual Points directly broke through the 20,000 barrier.

"I sold so much abandoned equipment, it's a contribution to the organization, isn't there any benefits?" Bai Pu asked seriously.

Su Xiaoxiao, being stared at by Bai Pu, couldn't help but misunderstand: "Wh-what benefits? Don't look at me like that, I'm very traditional."

"Room and board." Bai Pu's account already had little money left; even eating was becoming a problem.

"Oh, that's no problem!" Su Xiaoxiao opened her personal information terminal, "I can decide on such a small matter, I'll authorize free meal and accommodation privileges for your identity card, but it's only for you to eat."

Actually, professional military Awakened of the Divine Strategy Army all have free meal and accommodation benefits. Giving Bai Pu a little green light wasn't a big problem, so Su Xiaoxiao readily agreed.

Qilin sighed: "In ten days you earned over 10,000 Spiritual Points, calculated you're a millionaire, and you're still concerned about meal fees..."

Bai Pu lightly coughed: "I'm saving the Spiritual Points for a reason."

Other than being used for trading between Awakened, the main use for Spiritual Points is equipment enhancement.

When enhancing equipment to +4, +7, and +10, they are critical Enhancement Levels, where you randomly obtain Enhancement Special Effects.

Of course, Bai Pu currently doesn't have the equipment worth enhancing.

The highest-value accessory, [Scorpion-tailed Lion's Sting], has already been enhanced by Fish Intestines to +4, obtaining the first Enhancement Special Effect. Pushing to +5 doesn't have any meaning, because the accessory doesn't have any improvements until reaching a critical Level, unless it could reach +7, but that's too difficult.

After enhancing to +4, the failure rate is high, and each failure leads to the Enhancement Level resetting to zero. After enhancing to +7 (including hitting +7), the failure rate is even higher, and failure causes not only the Enhancement Level to be lost, but even the equipment itself to shatter!

Other items like the [Gleaming Bone Hammer], as a weapon, should be enhanced, but Bai Pu has already decided to replace it. The [Iron Spike Shoulder Guard] also isn't considered a main defense piece, so the meaningfulness of enhancement isn't significant.

After grabbing a meal in the cafeteria, Bai Pu went back to his room and fell asleep. During the ten days in the Boundary Land, he hadn't had a good sleep, recovering his depleted Spiritual Power at most with short two-hour naps, and now he really needed some rest.

He slept until the next day, after waking up, his intelligent assistant Xiaobai sent a flurry of messages.

Bai Pu scanned the messages and selected the important ones to respond to.

[966xxxx4068: Bai Pu, I'm the Golden Bull. I'm sorry, I didn't know those people intended to kill you, I didn't even know they prepared a Bloody Artifact, I thought they just wanted to scare you out of the Boundary Land, teach you a lesson. I'm willing to compensate, hoping you'll forgive me.]

Then there was a message from Li Ling.

[Li Ling: Bai Pu, I've talked to the Golden Bull, he wants to compensate you with a set of Virtual Combat Training Equipment, do you think it's feasible?]

Bai Pu replied to Li Ling first.

[Bai Pu: There's no need, I didn't expect him to sacrifice benefits to protect me. At most, I just won't add him as a friend in the future.]

[Li Ling: Are you sure? A set of Virtual Combat Training Equipment costs over 300,000.]

Bai Pu's eyes widened.

He immediately replied.

[Bai Pu: Since he's sincerely apologizing, I shouldn't refuse, after all, we're all part of the same organization.]

[Li Ling: Okay, so where do you want it installed? Your room might not fit it.]

Bai Pu thought for a moment.

[Bai Pu: Install it at Xicheng Seventeenth Middle School, the college entrance exams are approaching, and I just need to focus on studying there.]

[Li Ling: Donation or loan?]

[Bai Pu: Donation, after the exams, I probably won't use the equipment anymore.]

[Li Ling: On behalf of the alma mater, I thank you.]

[Bai Pu: Don't rush to thank, the school needs to meet a condition to obtain the equipment.]

[Bai Pu: The canteen needs to provide food, free kind.]

Li Ling waited for a while before replying.

[Li Ling: Okay, no problem, the dormitory will be arranged as well.]

[Bai Pu: Thank you.]

After ending the communication with Li Ling, Bai Pu sent a message to 966xxxx4068: Thanks for the compensation, I'm not angry at all anymore.

[966xxxx4068: That's great, thank you, Bai Pu, you're really magnanimous.]

[System Notification (blue font): 966xxxx4068 requests to add you as a friend. Do you agree?]

Bai Pu unhesitatingly clicked "No."

...

Xicheng Seventeenth Middle School.

A military green jeep came to a stop.

The students from the Seventeenth Middle Combat Squad stood on both sides of the main road, lined up to welcome.

The old principal shook Li Ling's hand: "Thank you, thank you! Li Ling, you truly remember where you came from. I don't know how many times I've applied for this equipment with the bureau, each time they just brushed it off. Now it's great, the Combat Squad students can finally practice more efficiently."

Li Ling awkwardly glanced at Bai Pu and said: "Principal, our Great Tang Group's donation comes with a condition, Bai Pu has priority in using the equipment..."

"That's of course." The old principal's side, Teacher Ren the class teacher hurriedly assured.

"Additionally, please help with Bai Pu's accommodations before the college entrance exams."

The old principal was stunned: "So, do meals and accommodations have special requirements?"

"No special requirements, just the same as other students." Li Ling confirmed.

The old principal laughed: "Then there's no problem."

Bai Pu glanced at the students standing stiffly like little trees on either side, slightly frowning. Li Ling signaled, saying: "Teacher Ren, let the students disperse. There's only about ten days left until the exams, everyone's time is very tight."

Teacher Ren nodded, instructing the Combat Squad students to leave.

The old principal called over a girl: "This is Shiyi, my granddaughter. Shiyi, take classmate Bai Pu around to the canteen and dormitory, familiarize him with the surroundings."
