Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi? Chapter 245 – Chapter 245 Chapter 245 Paving the Way for Yu Qings Future

Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Paving the Way for Yu Qing's Future Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Paving the Way for Yu Qing's Future Some guests, not finding any bad news, watched the drama with composed emotions.

Others could be immediately seen as having just come out of the Secret Realm. They were furious to find that one of the several rooms their team had booked was currently occupied by someone else. With a slap, they sent the lobby manager flying two meters, spitting a mouthful of blood and fainting.

The receptionist tugged by Ye Nai screamed in fright, while the PR manager trembled with closed eyes.

Ye Nai walked over, pushed the PR manager towards the front desk's counter, causing the latter to cry out in pain.

“My room is currently being lived in by a man. If you're sensible, I won't beat you up. Just refund me the room fee for these two months, and compensate with three times that as financial compensation. Otherwise, you will end up in the hospital alongside your colleague.”

“I'll refund, I'll compensate, please don't hit me,” the PR manager begged.

The PR manager immediately gestured to the staff behind the counter to take care of the matter.

He was just a frail Ordinary person, with no courage to wrestle with those fierce men and women who dared to enter the Secret Realm. From his point of view, he was happy to offer a refund and compensation, but the hotel wasn't under his control. The management was divided into several factions, with the lobby manager from another faction. Such troublesome matters were always caused by that side, and now his bad luck was dragging him down too.

Ye Nai didn't have the time to waste on arguments. The conditions she laid out were reasonable and within the PR manager's authority, and it was settled quickly; she received a bank message notification on her phone.

Only then did she let go of the receptionist she was holding, turned around, and left.

Another team, not satisfied with a little compensation, began to shake the PR manager fiercely, demanding a more considerable compensation for the entire team.

Leaving the noise behind her, Ye Nai stepped out of the hotel.

In the Secret Realm, she had sent a signal warning of an enemy attack, which meant that the Secret Realm would certainly have to be under martial law for some time, affecting the nearby hotels. Therefore, she had originally planned to stay at the hotel for two days to observe the situation before checking out.

But who knew the hotel would be so ‘kind' as to give her a big gift before she checked out—it was really nice of them.

Riding her electric bike back to the city center, she found a chain-brand four-star hotel and checked into a business suite with a one-bedroom, a living room, a water bar, and a kitchen.

After taking a shower, she sat cross-legged on the living room sofa and started to check her phone.

In her messaging app, she first looked at the messages from two boys, which were their October exam results, a slight improvement over September, indicating that forming a study group with top students for meals was effective.

Ye Nai didn't reply; no news was good news.

Then she looked at separate messages from her younger sister Yu Jiao and their mother, both informing her of the good news that Yu Qing had passed the Intermediate accounting exam. The messages were sent on the day she entered the Five Bridges Secret Realm.

Over these days, her sister and mother intermittently sent her some greetings. Her mother confirmed in October that she had passed, although the certificate would not be in hand until November. However, once they reported the results, the salary she received in November already included a raise. She was now planning a transfer, hoping to move to a big city.

Ye Nai immediately replied to her mother, suggesting prioritizing cities beyond the capital among the five burgeoning hubs of the nine provinces. These wealthy cities had mostly restored their urban infrastructure to pre-war levels. The Secret Realms there were built like parks, allowing Ordinary citizens to freely enter and enjoy.

External transfers definitely cost money, and anything that can be settled with money is a minor issue. If the leadership doesn't want money but desires mutant beast meat, that's even easier to manage. A box of mutant beast meat is worth much more than a box of money.

Yu Qing was first and foremost concerned about money.

[Xiao Nai, you don't know, ever since the Secret Realm disappeared, the local price of mutant beast meat has skyrocketed. That stinky rat meat I bought without thinking for 50 a pound, has now risen to one hundred and ten a pound, and if it's cleaned it goes directly for two hundred a pound. Don't think it's too expensive, there are people who will buy it, I really don't know how East Ridge suddenly got so many rich people.]
[Money isn't the issue. As long as we can use mutant beast meat to pave the way with the leadership, it's worth it. Now that the price of meat is so high, it's your chance. I'll send you two pounds of clean wild boar hind leg meat, you offer it to the department leadership to eat, openly tell them this is a trade, to find you an external transfer or an overseas opportunity. If he can't decide, then let him pass the message upward, you provide them with high-quality mutant beast meat, they don't have to pay for it, just give the address for delivery.]
[They won't accept it, it violates discipline.]
[What's there to be afraid of, just see if they give you the delivery address or not.]
[What if they just eat the meat and don't do anything? I'm telling you, there really are such people in my unit.]
[There are no fools who can be leaders, even if one's petty, they are still clever. They know the value of mutant beast meat better than you. Who doesn't want to advance? You want to advance, they want to advance even more. If they don't take it, how do those above them advance? I'm the direct supplier; as long as they find you a good spot, I could even set up a stable supply chain for them. Everyone involved in the chain can make money, ensuring you stay safe and sound until retirement. If they take the meat but don't fulfill their end, I have the evidence in hand, just wait and see if I don't flip the table.]
[Okay, then I'll give it a try.]
[It must be a wealthy city, this condition can't change. Wealthy cities have developed educational resources, there are even schools set up for the relatives of Awakeners. If your little sister's grades are good enough, we can get her into such schools.]
[There are schools like that? Are they private?]
[No, they're public, a benefit for the children and relatives of Awakeners. If you like conspiracy theories, you could also see it as keeping the children of Awakeners and their close relatives together as hostages, to prevent Awakeners from acting recklessly and harming the state interest.]
[…Ah?!]
[Surprising, isn't it? You wouldn't hear such news in East Ridge, right? In big cities, it's a topic people casually talk about. To get their kids into such schools, the parents who want their children to advance are willing to pay any price.]
[What kind of status do you need to get into such a school?]
[The first tier is for children of Awakeners themselves, or capable elder siblings arranging for their younger siblings to be admitted. The second tier is for nieces and nephews, and the third tier includes the descendants of extended relatives. The loophole for outsiders is in the third tier. But to not degrade the quality of students, those admitted through the third tier must demonstrate strong grades, taking the graded tests from the online learning center. The more levels they pass, the better, and the schools only accept students with good grades.]
[Is it not okay to be just a little short?]
[Of course not, to convince Awakeners wholeheartedly to send their children to study there, the school must ensure strict teaching quality. Everything is determined by grades. If your little sister wants to transfer there, it's like an entrance exam—the difference of one point can eliminate hundreds of candidates.]
[The requirements are too strict; your little sister's grades may not be enough. Would she have an advantage at other public schools?]
[It still depends on the grade curve from the ability tests. That's the stepping-stone for transfer students. If indeed her grades don't meet the threshold for top public schools in first-tier cities, it's best to head to second-tier cities and see if she can get into these cities' top schools.]
