Zhao Sifang asked again, "Second Uncle, defining privilege within privilege. What kind of privilege is that?"
"It means that within a certain range, Little Qin can define privileges for himself."
"…There's even a privilege like that? Wouldn't that be privilege within privilege within privilege?"
Zhao Longfei gave Zhao Sifang a cold glance, "If you can get your hands on one of those crimson crystals. No, even a small one—no, even just a piece the size of a copper coin, I can give you this privilege. Not a single person on the board of directors would dare say no."
Zhao Sifang scratched his bearded chin.
Confirmed.
In his second uncle's eyes, the status of the crimson crystal was extremely high.
Probably even higher than his own life.
If he found out the truth, he'd definitely string him up and beat him.
'Keep it a secret!'
'This must be kept a secret!'
He asked again, "This privilege that Little Qin has…"
Smack—
Zhao Longfei smacked Zhao Sifang on the head again, "You dare call him 'Little Qin'? Call him Brother Qin!"
"…"
"This privilege that Brother Qin has, is there no restriction on it?"
"There is. If his God Hunting Points don't rank in the top three of your grade, this privilege will be revoked."
"Top three? Then how many points does Little. Brother Qin have now?"
"Over six thousand."
"…"
"Don't be fooled by how low Brother Qin's points seem. He's killed a god within a week—one week, six thousand points. And it was at Exit 38324 of the Safe Zone!"
Zhao Sifang, having just learned of this, was in disbelief, "Exit 38324 of the Safe Zone? Do we have that many exits in our Safe Zone?"
Qin Siyang cast a calm glance at Zhao Longfei, who was busy bragging, and said leisurely, "It's now Exit 120911 of the Safe Zone."
"Huh? Why?"
"Because after you school principals and deans went out to hunt a god, you directly ruined that exit. It became a 'soulless' Safe Zone exit."
"Soulless?"
"It means you can stare at it all you want, but you won't see a single god."
Qin Siyang's face was full of resentment.
If it weren't for these people, he would still be reigning like a king over Region 14121.
Now, things had gotten troublesome.
Zhao Longfei rubbed his scarred head, momentarily speechless.
"Top three, huh…", Zhao Sifang muttered, "The special admissions results came out yesterday. Getting into the top three won't be easy."
Qin Siyang glanced at Zhao Sifang, "Brother Zhao, I remember you have over twenty thousand points. That should put you at the top in our batch at South Glory, right?"
Zhao Sifang shook his head, "I'm not even in the top three. I'm fourth."
"What? Over twenty thousand points, and you're not even in the top three? Brother Zhao, how many of your points were earned solo?"
"All of them."
Qin Siyang was dumbfounded.
'Over twenty thousand points, and he still can't make the top three?'
Li Tianming frowned, "I remember back when I was around, ten thousand points was enough for first place in special admissions."
Zhao Longfei explained, "Professor Li, your information is outdated. The Sequence only awakened five years ago, and the special admissions scores have been increasing significantly every year."
"It actually makes sense. Let's say everyone awakened their Sequence four years ago. You took the special admissions test last year, while I'm taking it this year. I've had an extra year to accumulate points, so naturally, my score would be higher."
"This is a very common trend. When the first special admissions took place four years ago, South Glory's point threshold was just a thousand. This year, South Glory's special admissions threshold has almost reached five thousand points."
"Five thousand?"
Qin Siyang shouted in shock.
"Doesn't that mean I'm basically at the bottom?"
Zhao Sifang frowned at Qin Siyang's outburst, "Qin Siyang, how can you speak to your teacher like that?"
Smack!
Zhao Longfei slapped Zhao Sifang on the head, "Zhao Sifang, how can you speak to your Brother Qin like that?"
Zhao Sifang clutched his head.
He finally understood.
All the values of righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faithfulness that his second uncle had taught him over the past decade—none of them mattered as much as pure benefits.
But Zhao Longfei didn't think there was anything wrong with that.
For eighteen years, he had taught Zhao Sifang to be a good person. Now, it was time to teach him to be a smart person.
Perfect timing.
This should be the turning point in his education.
"Alright, Principal Zhao, stop hitting Brother Zhao already. He's already been smacked three times in just a short while."
"You see, even Little Qin is speaking up for you. Aren't you going to thank him?"
"…Thanks, Brother Qin."
Qin Siyang waved his hand dismissively but felt a bit gloomy inside.
He had thought he'd dominate the school, arriving as a legend.
Now, it seemed like his ranking in the grade for God Hunting Points might not even be better than his simulated test rankings back at Ju'an School.
'How frustrating.'
'With such low points, even if Zhao Longfei gives me privileges, I won't have the face to use them.'
No more talking.
For the next few months, he'd just stay in Zone 9 and hunt gods.
Li Tianming said, "Little Qin, Old Zhang, Principal Zhao, and I have some matters to discuss. Why don't you chat with Little Zhao for a bit?"
Although Li Tianming had established a contract with the crimson crystal, he was still weak and needed a strong backer to stand firm.
And without a doubt, Zhao Longfei was the best backer.
Qin Siyang understood Li Tianming's thoughts. He himself had already exhausted himself dealing with the Vine Core last time and didn't want to get too involved again.
After all, he wasn't the one studying the Vine Core or the Crimson Crystal, so he wasn't that interested.
As long as he could secure appropriate benefits, that was enough.
So, leaving it to Li Tianming was just fine.
Qin Siyang nodded, "Alright. Then I'll leave it to you guys. I'll chat with Brother Zhao."
Zhao Sifang happened to have something to say to Qin Siyang as well.
The two of them stepped aside.
Seeing Zhao Sifang looking hesitant, Qin Siyang asked, "Brother Zhao, did you see what was inside my backpack?"
Zhao Sifang nodded.
"Brother Zhao, are you planning to tell anyone?"
Zhao Sifang shook his head.
"You want to help me keep my secret? Can I ask why?"
"Qin Siyang, when we were on our way here, you just found out that the crimson crystal could establish a contract through a drop of blood, right?"
"Oh? Brother Zhao, you're pretty sharp to have figured that out."
Zhao Sifang sighed and shook his head, "I never expected that just a casual conversation would make me miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"If my family found out about this, they wouldn't let me off. Since you haven't made this public, why should I go looking for trouble?"
"But I should also thank you. If I had really stolen your crimson crystal, I might have lived my whole life in guilt."
Qin Siyang looked at Zhao Sifang curiously.
'In this day and age, there are still people this upright?'
After thinking about it, he found it reasonable.
The poorer the background, the rarer it was to have a conscience.
"Brother Zhao, don't blame yourself. If the contract hadn't been established, I wouldn't have dared to leave my bag with you."
"I tried to steal your crimson crystal, so I don't deserve to be called 'big brother.' Just call me Little Zhao."
"This…"
"Brother Qin, I'll be counting on your guidance from now on."
"…Alright, Little Zhao."
