Chapter 67: A Wagers 100 Million Psychic Coins
Chapter 67: A Wagers 100 Million Psychic Coins
"100 million?"
Hemley's steps came to an abrupt halt.
He turned to look at Su Yu with disbelief. "You're sure you want to wager 100 million Psychic Coins? Do you even have that much?"
Scholars of the Scholar's Sanctuary mostly earned their living by drawing magical scrolls.
Drawing a single first-tier scroll could earn you about 70 to 80 Psychic Coins, and it took several minutes to complete one.
100 million Psychic Coins would mean selling over ten thousand scrolls!
"Of course I can come up with it. It's up to you whether you want to take the Su Yu said with a smile.
Seeing Su Yu's fearless demeanor, Hemley took a deep breath. "Alright, what do you want to bet on?"
"The Scholar's Sanctuary must have the 'Advanced Scholar Exam,' right?"
"Of course."
"My condition is to participate in the 'Advanced Scholar Exam.' If I pass, the Sanctuary must allow me to join and grant me the [Advanced Scholar Badge]."
"If I fail, I'll donate 100 million Psychic Coins to the Sanctuary. Are you willing to take this bet?"
Su Yu smiled at Hemley.
The [Advanced Scholar Badge] was a piece of jewelry, and a golden epic piece of jewelry at that! The first player to obtain this item in the previous life had detailed its stats, and it was a significant enhancement.
After all, this was an epic item that could be brought into the real world!
To obtain the [Advanced Scholar Badge], one had to pass the 'Advanced Scholar Exam.'
However, the 'Advanced Scholar Exam' wasn't something you could just sign up for. You had to be a member of a major faction like the [Scholar's Sanctuary], [Silver Pine Spire], [Secret Magic Academy], and have a high enough contribution and at least 'Veneration' reputation level to participate.
(Reputation levels in a faction are: Neutral, Friendly, Respected, Venerated, and Revered.)
In his previous life, Su Yu was a member of the top-tier faction [Silver Pine Spire]. He had worked tirelessly to raise his reputation to 'Venerated' and relied on his extensive game knowledge to pass the 'Advanced Scholar Exam' and obtain the golden epic badge.
The entire process was even more grueling than preparing for a civil service exam!
If he could get this item early, it would undoubtedly give him a significant boost in both the game and the real world!
Hemley stared at Su Yu with wide eyes, his expression clearly saying, "You must be joking."
"Listen, little brother. I've been in the Sanctuary since I was a child, and it took me until I was 35 to pass the 'Advanced Scholar Exam.' You're just an adventurer from another world."
"100 million Psychic Coins! I'll raise it to 100 million! Do you dare to take the bet?" Su Yu cut him off.
"110 million?"
All the scholars around turned to look at Su Yu, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Was this the son of a great noble? How could he afford such a sum?
"That, little brother." Hemley was at a loss, completely blank, not knowing what to say.
good.
After a long pause, he finally stammered, "I, I am a core member of the sanctuary, but the 'Advanced Scholar Exam' is not something I can decide."
"100 million Psychic Coins!" Su Yu continued.
Su Yu's voice wasn't loud, but to every scholar present, it sounded like a bomb had gone off!
100 million Psychic Coins!
Even a major faction like the [Scholar's Sanctuary] couldn't ignore such a massive sum..
least.
Su Yu proposed the the the the extremely unequal imbalance was,,, of'ts bet was extremely unfair levels,,,,, the bet, the Scholar's the the [ of the exam for 100 million Psychic Coins, the sanctuary's higher-ups would probably be ecstatic!
Su Yu's expression was calm, as if 100 million Psychic Coins were nothing more than scraps of paper to him.
If this were a real alternate world, Su Yu wouldn't dare to be so "reckless."
After all, it's wise not to flaunt one's wealth. Today's bragging might feel good, but tomorrow you might find yourself robbed by a stronger individual.
But this is a game, protected by the system gods. Su Yu couldn’t possibly be robbed by an NPC, which is why he had the confidence to make such a bet.
"I'll bet with you!"
At that moment, a hoarse voice echoed from within the Scholar's Sanctuary.
The voice initially sounded distant, but by the time Su Yu heard it, an elderly man clad in a simple green robe, with a kind face, had already appeared in the hall.
The old man moved even faster than his voice!
"It's Lord Alex!"
"I greet Lord Alex!"
"Lord Alex, may the light of wisdom forever shine upon you."
Haimley and the scholars present quickly bowed to the elder, their greetings filled with deep respect.
The elder nodded to everyone present, then slowly approached Su Yu.
"Little brother, I am the 6th Rank Sacred Domain Mage, Alex. I can be the examiner for your Advanced Scholar Assessment."
Mages at the 75th level, or 6th Rank, have their own domains activated, earning the title of "Sacred Domain Mage," the most powerful beings in the entire game world! In the previous life, it was noted that there were only about a thousand NPCs above the Sacred Domain rank, including all humans, elves, beastmen, dwarves, abyssal demons, and deep-sea giants.
Given that this elder was a Sacred Domain Mage, he must be one of the main figures behind the Scholar's Sanctuary.
"It's an honor to meet you, Lord Alex."
Su Yu bowed respectfully to the elder and smiled. "I did this mainly to prove to Haimley that our ‘newcomers’ can also possess profound knowledge."
As he spoke, he glanced at Haimley.
Haimley was momentarily speechless.
Being able to casually pull out a hundred million Spirit Coins already places you well beyond the realm of a mere ‘newcomer,’ doesn’t it?
And to pass the "Advanced Scholar Assessment" at such a young age? These otherworldly adventurers must be a group of prodigies, right?
Haimley stood rooted to the spot, beginning to question his own existence.
The elder, however, smiled faintly. "Since you’re confident about passing the 'Advanced Scholar Assessment,' let’s go ahead and give it a try. If you succeed, we at the Scholar's Sanctuary welcome your joining us!"
"I am also very honored to join the Sanctuary and become one of its members."
"Then, little brother, follow me."
The elder led the way, guiding Su Yu into the inner sanctum of the Scholar's Sanctuary.
Most of the scholars nearby had never witnessed an "Advanced Scholar Assessment" before. Seeing that Haimley didn’t try to stop them, they all hurriedly followed behind Su Yu, eager to gain some insight.
Behind the stone book statue, a long corridor stretched out.
They walked along the corridor until they reached the central courtyard of the Scholar's Sanctuary.
Unlike the nearby faith temples with their grand statues, the central courtyard of the Scholar's Sanctuary was a lush garden filled with flowers and plants.
Many scholars were seated in the garden, engrossed in their books, reading with great interest.
Compared to the chaos and fires outside the city, this place was a tranquil haven, a true paradise.
On the side of the courtyard were several rooms. The elder led Su Yu to one of the room doors and.
"This is where the Advanced Scholar Assessment will take place. I will be your examiner."
"Alright." Su Yu nodded. "Regarding this bet, should we sign a magic contract to ensure its validity?"
"No need, I trust your integrity."
The elder smiled and stepped into the room.
