Chapter 375 The Purpose of Making Money
"I don't know. I think it's more than 50. The tighter I get, the fewer I kill. What about you?"
"The sound kept ringing in my ears. I'm going to be deaf from this. I don't know how many I've killed."
"Let's go find the Village Chief and see how we can earn martial arts coins. What's going on with the sound? What kind of place is this Martial Arts Island? Why the locusts are so powerful." Lily said.
Kevin and Lily left the corn fields and returned to Novice Village. They found their old grandfather under a thatched cottage at the entrance of the village.
"You guys are back. How's it going?" Grandpa asked with a smile.
Lily hurriedly asked, "Old Grandpa, what's going on? Why the sound ring in my ears when killing one? Also, why are locusts so powerful?"
"You are not the first to ask this question, and I believe you are not the last to ask this question," said the village chief's grandfather. Kevin said, "Village Chief, don't make a fuss. Hurry up and tell the truth. Why is Martial Arts Island so strange?"
"Ha—ha, boys and girls, I also want to know the answer to your questions."
"You also want to know the answer?"
"That's right. I want to know the reason too. Alright, this is the martial arts coins you earned today. I'll give them to you."
As he spoke, the village chief flipped through a black bag in his hand and took out a piece of paper money.
When Kevin saw the black bag, he was shocked, "Storage bag."
"What, you actually know that." The village chief looked at Kevin in surprise "Ha—ha, it's just a storage bag."
"Little girl, this is the martial arts coins you earned today, a total of 5.50 yuan "I killed for an hour, only 5.5?" Lily felt dumbfounded. "You killed a total of 55 locusts." Kevin hurriedly asked, "How did you know that she killed 55 locusts?"
"Don't ask so much. Anyway, remember, in Martial Arts Island, everything is done according to the rules of Martial Arts Island. Don't ask everything." Kevin stopped asking when he saw Grandpa's resolute appearance. Obviously, there was definitely something wrong with Martial Arts Island, but it wasn't something he could know. Kevin looked at the Village Chief, wanting to see what stage he was. He discovered that the Village Chief did not have the slightest bit of internal strength or momentum. However, Kevin did not believe it.
Lily took the 5.50 yuan, which she earned after an hour of tiredness. "What about me? How much did I earn?" Kevin asked. The village chief took out a few hundred—dollar bills from his bag of holding and smiled, "You've earned nine hundred dollars."
"Nine hundred, so many." Lily was also shocked. Compared to her 5.50 yuan, it was indeed a lot. "Ha—ha." Kevin put away the 900 yuan. Lily asked, "Grandpa Village Chief, is Kevin the freshman who earns the most in a day?" The village chief shook his head and said, "No."
"Who else earns more than him?" Lily asked. "Yesterday, there were a few internal stage freshmen. They killed locusts here for a day and earned tens of thousands of yuan. Of course, this kid, his swordsmanship is extremely high. He killed locusts cleanly and swiftly, and his speed is also the fastest." Kevin immediately said unconvincingly, "Then I still have to continue killing locusts. I want to surpass the internal stage freshman from yesterday." Lily said, "I'm tired today. Let's go back and rest first. Come back tomorrow. In any case, there are still seven or eight days left before the freshman examination. It's even longer before the registration starts."
The village chief smiled and said, "Little girl, this old man might as well mention something to you. If everyone has such an attitude, then I'm afraid you'll have to leave Martial Arts Island."
"Why?"
"You're tired after killing for an hour. If you come back tomorrow. Do you know that the 5.50 yuan you just earned is just enough for a bowl of clear soup noddle? Of course, you won't starve after eating only one bowl of clear soup noodle a day. You still have the strength to take the exam. But, do you know why freshmen earn martial arts coins?"
"Why?" Kevin asked. "Because if you want to earn martial arts coins, you have to do a mission to kill locusts. In the process of killing locusts, you have already stimulated your potential. The goal is to open up the freshman's conception and governor vessels. If you haven't opened up the conception and governor vessels by the time of the formal examination, you won't have the chance to enter the Martial Arts Academy."
"What, the purpose of killing locusts is to open the conception and governor vessels?" Lily was shocked.
"That's right, earning martial arts coins is one aspect. The most important thing is to open the new conception and governor vessels. Do you still want to go back and rest now? Of course, this child is already at the internal stage. You can go back and find a hotel to sleep in. You have already opened the conception and governor vessels. Killing these locusts is just to earn some money for you." Kevin frowned and said, "No, many people who received the gold medal admission notice did not open the conception and governor vessels."
"Although they haven't opened the conception and governor vessels yet, they still received the admission notice. Because they are more talented and will definitely open it. After they arrive at Martial Arts Island, they will naturally come to Novice Village to earn their tuition fees. They will also open it later, there is only one less exam." Lily immediately said, "I'm not going back. I want to continue killing locusts."
"Then you guys go. I hope you can open the conception and governor vessels before the formal examination."
"I will definitely." Lily swore. After that, Kevin and Lily continued to kill locusts. The corn field was very large, and more and more people went in to kill locusts. Kevin's goal in killing locusts was to earn money, while Lily's goal was to open up conception and governor vessels before making money. Kevin kept killing.
At dusk, the sky darkened, and Kevin left the cornfield. Kevin looked at Lily, who was still trying her best to kill the locusts.
"Lily, it's almost time for today. You won't make it in a day. Come tomorrow."
"Alright." Lily walked out with sweat all over his body. Kevin wiped the sweat off her face with a bit of heartache.
In the cornfield, there were still many new students who ignored the time and continued to kill locusts.
Actually, the examination had already begun. Whether or not she could clear the conception and governor vessels by killing locusts was the examination. Kevin and Lily returned to the village entrance again. The old grandfather was eating dinner at the village entrance. "Grandpa Village Chief, I'm here to collect the martial arts coins I earned today. After receiving them, I'm going back to the hotel to eat and sleep." Kevin said.
"Alright, you've earned a total of 13,200 martial arts coins. In the morning, you've already received 900 martial arts coins, leaving 12,300 martial arts coins." The village chief handed Kevin a bundle of 100 yuan bills.
"Wow." Lily exclaimed in admiration. It seemed that she could follow Kevin and have a wealthy life. "What about me?" Lily hurriedly asked. "You earned a total of 95 martial arts coins. You received 5.5 in the morning, leaving 89.5 martial arts coins. Take it." Lily pouted. She didn't even earn a hundred yuan. How pitiful.
