Senior Liu Diewu's reaction was far more enthusiastic than Fang Zhou had imagined.

Not only did she agree to keep an eye on the market for Fang Zhou, but she also offered to relay his trade intentions to Gu Yueyuan.

While expressing his gratitude, Fang Zhou couldn't help but touch his handsome face and sigh silently.

I clearly wanted to make a living with my strength...

After a moment's thought, he sent Liu Diewu another message on his personal terminal.

[Ordinary Apprentice] (Fang Zhou): "Thank you, Senior Die Wu. I also wanted to ask for your advice. Generally speaking, for powerful, high-year students like yourself, what kinds of resources are considered hard currency?"

[Green Robe, My Heart Swings] (Liu Diewu): "Haha, Junior Fang Zhou, you sure have a sweet tongue. My talent is nothing compared to yours, so you don't have to praise my strength. Based on my experience, there are only a few types of resources we consider hard currency."

[Green Robe, My Heart Swings] (Liu Diewu): "The first type, and the most sought-after, are the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures needed by the various Professions. I'd been trying to acquire Evergreen Fruit on the trading channel for over half a year with no success. I only managed to finally get it by trading with you. Another example is the well-known Green Excellent Quality [Ancient Beheading Greatsword] on the trading channel. The seller is a third-year Seed Student, and he specifically requires a Black Iron-grade, Flame Attribute Heavenly and Earthly Treasure, or a matching weapon exclusive to Flame Mages. But even though he's had it publicly listed for nearly a year, he still hasn't found a suitable trade."

[Green Robe, My Heart Swings] (Liu Diewu): "The second category is various types of practical Equipment. Some Magic Professionals might find Equipment needed by Combat Professionals during their quests and explorations. Likewise, Combat Professionals sometimes come across Magic Professional gear that doesn't suit them. They can trade amongst themselves for mutual benefit."

[Green Robe, My Heart Swings] (Liu Diewu): "The third category is all sorts of powerful Marvels. For instance, space storage-type Marvels are the most popular. Of course, Marvels useful for wilderness survival are also in demand, and as for combat-type Marvels, it goes without saying that people will snap up as many as become available."

[Green Robe, My Heart Swings] (Liu Diewu): "The fourth type of hard currency is Cultivation Resources. You should be familiar with these. For us Magic Professionals, any materials, potions, or Marvels that can enhance the speed of spirit recovery or the efficiency of soul nourishment fall into this category."

[Green Robe, My Heart Swings] (Liu Diewu): "The fifth category involves personalized needs. For example, if a student found cultivation insights for the Undead Mage Profession from another race or civilization, other Professionals likely wouldn't need it, but I'm sure you would be desperate to get it. It's the same for me. If someone had Natural Druid skills or cultivation insights beyond what the military academy provides, I would be willing to pay a huge price to trade for them."

[Ordinary Apprentice] (Fang Zhou): "I understand, Senior Die Wu. Unfortunately, most people share the same needs, so few are willing to trade these resources away. I've occasionally seen a few resources that tempted me, but the sellers' demands were always very specific, mostly requiring direct item-for-item trades, so I could only look on helplessly."

[Green Robe, My Heart Swings] (Liu Diewu): "Sigh, that's a common problem, so don't be too anxious. We still have the various Cultivation Resources that Sea City Military Academy customizes for us Seed Students, so maintaining a fairly rapid growth rate isn't an issue. That's also why I'm so grateful to you. Thanks to you, I was able to smoothly obtain the Evergreen Fruit and save myself a ton of effort. By the way, I heard from Hongzhuang that you've gotten another big equipment upgrade. You should sell off that phased-out Apprentice Equipment as soon as possible. Every contribution point you can recover is worthwhile. After all, I hear that your Apprentice Equipment was all extravagantly enhanced to the limit. Even many of the second-year Seed Students are practically champing at the bit for them."

Seeing Senior Liu Diewu's message, Fang Zhou paused in a daze before the realization hit him. If she hadn't mentioned his old equipment, he would have almost completely forgotten about it.

Tonight, in the forging workshop of the Undead Mage research project team's lab, Instructor Huang Qiuyue had enhanced all three pieces of his New Star Equipment to their limits, and he had put them on immediately. The three corresponding pieces of Apprentice Equipment were casually tossed into his Space Storage Capsule. For a moment, he had forgotten that he could trade those three items to recover some contribution points.

Besides those, the Space Storage Capsule still held some of the rarer demon materials he had obtained during the No. 1 Cave Hunt. He could definitely list these demon materials on the trading channel and specify his own requirements. Though the chance of a successful trade was slim, it was worth a shot. If I get a trade, I'm lucky; if I don't, it's fate. If someone happened to fancy these resources and could offer the materials he needed in exchange, it would be a fantastic outcome.

Having figured this out, Fang Zhou chatted a bit more with Senior Liu Diewu before opening the trading channel. Following the instructions and manual, he meticulously took photos of the extremely enhanced Apprentice Mage Hat, two Apprentice Rings, and a pile of demon materials from all angles. He then created corresponding holographic projections and publicly displayed them on the trading channel.

As for the price, Fang Zhou did a careful calculation and listed the three extremely enhanced Apprentice items at cost: 30 contribution points each.

An apprentice item was 10 contribution points.

A Level 1 Refining Stone was 10 contribution points.

A Level 1 Gemstone was 10 contribution points.

Although many people on the trading channel were Seed Students from Sea City Military Academy who enjoyed various discounts based on their sequence ranking, Fang Zhou's three pieces of equipment had been brought to their Extreme Enhancement state by simulating it with his Soul Power. Anyone who bought one would save the time and cost of finding a Blacksmith Sub-professional to handle the Refinement and Inlaying. For them, it was a very cost-effective choice.

As for Fang Zhou, as long as he could trade these three pieces of equipment away and recover enough contribution points to break even, that was sufficient. With a net worth of several thousand contribution points, he wasn't looking to get rich by selling three pieces of Apprentice Equipment.

Of course, for rarer demon materials like the Troll Heart and the Fierce Ant Queen Gland, Fang Zhou didn't set a price in contribution points. Instead, he separately listed his own requirements: either knowledge and resources related to the Undead Mage Profession, or hard currency like equipment, resources, or Marvels that aided cultivation or combat.

His thinking was simple: it would be best if he could sell them, but it didn't matter if he couldn't. These demon materials might come in handy for my own research projects or missions later on.

After some thought, Fang Zhou also sent a notification to his three little assistants—Bai Xiaochan, Meng Hongzhuang, and Shen Ziwei—in the [Undead Mage Support Team] chat group.

[Ordinary Apprentice] (Fang Zhou): "@[We are really powerful] @[Bear Dominating the World] @[Heaven is on the Left, Warrior is on the Right] I just listed three extremely enhanced pieces of Apprentice Equipment on the trading channel: an Apprentice Mage Hat and two Apprentice Rings. They have all been refined to +1 and inlaid with the corresponding Level 1 Gemstones. I'm only asking for the cost price, 30 contribution points each. First come, first served."

Without waiting for a reply from his assistants, Fang Zhou stood up from his bed and stretched. With those minor affairs settled, he felt a great weight lift from his mind.

It was time to begin tonight's cultivation!

Dressed in the New Star Set that had just been enhanced to its limit, and carrying the Slime Candle and a Spiritual Recovery Potion, Fang Zhou left his dormitory and headed for the Skill Training Room. According to the cultivation plan he had set for himself based on his current situation, his training focus for this period was the skill [Soul Realm]. Today would be no different.

The night had fallen, the moonlight like a swathe of white silk.

When Fang Zhou stepped into the Skill Training Room next to the first-year boys' dormitory, he was surprised to find that it wasn't quiet like it usually was. Previously, because only Fang Zhou could use it through his access as a primary researcher for the Undead Mage research project team, only one small room had been opened for his personal use.

But today, the 100 first-year Seed Students of Sea City Military Academy had been officially confirmed. These students had all been granted E-level access, allowing them to exchange for skill training time. Taking this into account, the military academy had generously opened all the rooms in the entire Skill Training Room for these Seed Students to practice their skills.

Although Fang Zhou had been practicing his skills here for over a month, tonight was his first time seeing the Skill Training Ground in its entirety. He was in awe as he toured the facility, which was far more functional than he had previously realized.

Just then, several of the first-year Seed Students who were already training their skills noticed him.

"Good evening, Lord Fang!"

Fang Zhou turned his head and saw it was Yue Lingyun, the [Jungle Hunter], greeting him. The Seed Student, ranked number 18, who had wanted to trade for the Evergreen Fruit, now stood looking at Fang Zhou, panting heavily.
