Hearing the One-eyed Instructor's words, Fang Zhou couldn't help but feel a little curious.

He had previously come across some high-grade Marvels and seemed not to have encountered such issues.

For instance, the Green Excellent Quality [No.1 Seed Medal], the Blue Fine Quality [Heroic Spirit Battle Banner], and even the Purple Rare Quality [Berserker Mark], were all quite smooth to use.

I wonder if, with my current Spirit Attribute, I can wear these three pieces of New Star Equipment?

He took off the Apprentice Mage Hat he was wearing and the two Apprentice Rings on his hands, then gently picked up the pointed New Star Mage Hat and placed it on his head.

The equipment section of the attribute panel was instantly updated.

After moving around a bit, Fang Zhou felt that compared to the previous Gray Inferior Quality Apprentice set, this New Star Mage Hat indeed gave him a noticeable sense of load.

However, it seems there's still a lot of room to spare.

So, under the encouraging gaze of the One-eyed Instructor, Fang Zhou picked up a New Star Ring and gently placed it on the middle finger of his left hand.

The mental load increased a bit more, giving Fang Zhou a feeling akin to being overstuffed after a large meal.

Fang Zhou glanced at the attribute panel. The equipment section had updated again.

The One-eyed Instructor asked with some concern, "How is it, Fang Zhou? Can you handle the attribute load from these two pieces of New Star Equipment?"

Fang Zhou nodded lightly and looked at the last New Star Ring.

I feel like I can still squeeze a little more in.

Under the incredulous or skeptical gazes of the other Seed Students, Fang Zhou took the last New Star Ring and placed it on the middle finger of his right hand.

Hmm.

Fang Zhou raised his head and slowly scanned his surroundings.

Although using three pieces of New Star Equipment made him feel slightly strained, daily activities, meditation, cultivation, and even some low-intensity battles should be manageable.

However, this is my current limit. I really can't fit anything else.

He looked at the attribute panel again to confirm the equipment section was updated. The New Star Mage Hat and the two New Star Rings were functioning normally. Fang Zhou let out a slight sigh of relief.

It shouldn't take long for me to advance to Apprentice Upper Rank. By then, with a significant attribute increase, I can naturally use more New Star Equipment. This also means that before I break through to Apprentice Upper Rank, I'm not in a rush to go to the military academy's resource depot and exchange for a New Star Necklace to complete the White Regular Quality 'Cultivation Four-piece Set.'

Looking at the fully armed Fang Zhou, the One-eyed Instructor couldn't help but praise, "You really are exceptionally talented! An Apprentice Middle Rank who can handle the load of three White Regular Quality pieces of equipment. You must cultivate hard in the coming days and strive to break through to Apprentice Upper Rank as soon as possible. If you can reach Apprentice Upper Rank before the recruit competition, wearing more New Star Equipment will give you a huge advantage over the other military academies' elite students."

Fang Zhou nodded, his modest demeanor containing an indubitable confidence.

Break through to Apprentice Upper Rank in one month? For me, that'll be a breeze.

After getting used to the feeling for a moment, Fang Zhou picked up the resource box and made way for Bai Xiaochan and Meng Hongzhuang behind him.

Bai Xiaochan squeezed forward first, reported her name and number, and spoke with the One-eyed Instructor about her military academy rewards.

Meanwhile, Meng Hongzhuang looked at Fang Zhou. He had undergone a complete transformation with his new equipment and looked more dashing than ever. She smiled and asked, "Lord Fang, I'll soon have an interest-free loan of a few hundred contribution points. What resources do you think I should prioritize exchanging them for?"

Fang Zhou thought for a moment, pointing at the luxurious New Star Mage Hat on his head. "I suggest you first exchange your points for the Cultivation Four-piece Set: the Apprentice Mage Hat, Apprentice Necklace, and two Apprentice Rings. Then, get some Gemstones and Refining Stones to enhance the set to its limit, maxing out your cultivation rate. Also, drink the Four-dimensional Attribute Secret Medicines as early as you can. The sooner you do, the bigger your lead will be. If your contribution points are limited, get at least one bottle of the Spirit Attribute Secret Medicine."

At this moment, the other Seed Students in the logistics depot perked up their ears to listen to Fang Zhou's advice, and they all felt they were learning a great deal.

Seeing this, Fang Zhou raised his voice slightly and continued, "Once you reach E-level authority, you have to max out your time in Concentration Meditation and Skill Training. Also, if your contribution points allow, consider drinking one Spiritual Recovery Potion and one Soul Calming Potion every day to extend your training time."

He counted on his fingers, generously sharing his experience with paid-for cultivation, making sure to provide only solid, valuable information with no fluff.

However, the other Seed Students, Meng Hongzhuang included, felt their heads spin just listening to him. At that rate of spending, the interest-free loans they were about to receive would be depleted in just a few months.

Meng Hongzhuang's face scrunched up, and she gave a wry smile. "Lord Fang, we're not as wealthy as you. At best, I can grit my teeth and try to follow this routine for the next month. I'll strive to break through to Apprentice Middle Rank early so I don't miss the upcoming recruit competition."

Fang Zhou nodded, naturally understanding that the financial situations of the other Seed Students couldn't compare with his. He softly comforted her, "Just act within your means. There's no need to be too hasty."

Meng Hongzhuang frustratedly ruffled her twin ponytails, saying with a worried frown, "Ah, it's true that even a hero can be stumped by a lack of money! I thought that after becoming a Seed Student, I wouldn't have to worry about contribution points anymore. I didn't expect that the more points I get, the faster I spend them! And this doesn't even count the cost of acquiring and cultivating skills!"

Hearing this, Fang Zhou nodded in emphatic agreement, his expression wistful.

What Meng Hongzhuang said is true.

It's just like my own situation. I have over 2,000 contribution points and a 1,000-point interest-free loan, but if I want to select some Black-Iron-rank Skills for my Skeleton Clone, get a full set of White Regular Quality New Star Equipment for my main body, and then refine and inlay them to the limit... I'm afraid there won't be much left.

However, Fang Zhou's sigh was sincere because he was thinking of his own circumstances. The other Seed Students didn't know that, in addition to his main body, he also had a Skeleton Clone—a literal Gold-eating Beast—that required meticulous nurturing.

Seeing Fang Zhou sigh so pretentiously, the group of Seed Students grumbled inwardly.

Having arrived late, Ye Fan stood in the crowd, unable to stop himself from clenching his fists.

So infuriating!

He wasn't angry at Fang Zhou, but at himself.

It's my own incompetence! I haven't worked hard enough! That's why I gave Fang Zhou this chance to show off in front of everyone. Given time, I will take his place!

At that moment, Bai Xiaochan had also finished exchanging her rewards.

She walked over to Fang Zhou's side, her face alight with excitement, and latched onto his arm, pulling him outside.

"Let's go, Fang Zhou! I'm treating you to dinner today. Feel free to order whatever you like from the deluxe set menu on the second floor of the cafeteria!"
