A Mysterious Opportunity

Backstage at the Qingdou Hall, the other six students from the Summoning Department already regarded Lin Chen as a god, and all expressed that they only needed their share of resources, and the rest would belong to Lin Chen alone.

Mo Fan rushed over and put his arm around Lin Chen's shoulder, saying, "Lin Chen, you look so handsome today! You're almost as handsome as me. I wonder how many female fans you'll attract."

"So-so," Lin Chen said modestly.

"They were just a bit too much of a show-off, not even giving me a chance to play. Otherwise, I would have shown them what a genius is like," Mo Fan continued.

"Didn't you ask me to shine in front of the whole school? Why are you regretting it now?!" Lin Chen chuckled and teased.

"Who knows? My little wolf recovered halfway through, and you didn't even give me a chance to show my face," Mo Fan complained. "Next time you have a good opportunity like this, remember to save it for me, your brother. Let's dominate all the universities in the country together!"

"I'll definitely do it next time." Lin Chen nodded and continued, "By the way, my summoned beasts are all at the Warrior level now, so I don't need that bottle of Beast Refining Blood. I'll sell it to you for half the cost price. If you don't have the money, you can pay me back later."

"Brotherhood is in our hearts!" Mo Fan released his right arm from Lin Chen's shoulder and pounded his chest twice. "When I become successful, as long as I have a bowl of soup, you'll have a piece of meat too!"

"Then you'd better work hard, my future happiness depends on you." Lin Chen smiled.

"The internet is so advanced these days, information spreads so fast, wow!"

Lingling, who was sitting to the side engrossed in scrolling through her phone, suddenly made a sound, immediately drawing the attention of Lin Chen and Mo Fan.

The post Lingling is browsing is titled "A college dropout single-handedly defeats a thousand others and forcefully enters a prestigious university." The title is rather exaggerated, but the content is fairly standard and quite realistic.

By this time, quite a few people had already replied to the post.

"I've scrolled past so many posts about this topic today, there are just too many, I only just clicked to check the status now!"

"Exactly, these marketing accounts are getting more and more outrageous. They're saying someone can fight against a thousand people all by themselves. That person would be exhausted, especially since they're a student who failed the exam. If they're that good, how could they fail the exam? If that's true, I'll eat my phone on live stream."

"Hey upstairs, the fact that he kicked me during his live stream is confirmed, it's even trending on Weibo!"

"What?"

Upon seeing this, Lingling immediately exited the post, opened the trending topics list, and found that Lin Chen's challenge to the entire school was already in the top fifty of the trending topics list.

Moreover, the titles of these posts started out normal, but they became increasingly outrageous and evolved into pure clickbait.

After reading these posts, Lin Chen was utterly exasperated. Who on earth was forwarding and liking these posts? They didn't seem to have a brain at all.

Even the post titled "A male student failed his college entrance exam, went berserk, and attacked hundreds of female students in one day..." was pushed to the top spot by them.

……

After saying goodbye to Mo Fan, Lin Chen took Lingling back to Qingtian Hunting Grounds. As soon as they entered the store, they found Old Man Bao looking at them strangely.

"Did you really do those things?" Bao Tou Dong looked Lin Chen over carefully for a few moments and couldn't help but ask.

"President, have you seen those posts?" Lin Chen's expression froze.

"I saw it." Old Bao nodded. "How could you do that?!"

"It's one thing for others to believe those marketing accounts that scam traffic, but you're the president! We've known each other for a year. Don't you know what kind of person I am?" Lin Chen was speechless and immediately complained.

"What traffic-grabbing nonsense?" Old Bao asked, puzzled. "Didn't your school's official website say that you were the one who fought against a thousand people in the Beast Fighting Tournament, until no one in the entire school dared to challenge you? How come it wasn't you who did that?"

"Is this what you mean?" Lin Chen asked.

"Otherwise what?" Old Bao asked, looking puzzled.

"Grandpa, Lin Chen is..." Lingling was about to explain when Lin Chen covered her mouth.

Lin Chen nodded quickly and said repeatedly, "Yes! Yes! Yes! That's exactly what I'm talking about."

Seeing Lin Chen's expression, Old Man Bao knew that he must have misunderstood something, but he was too lazy to pursue it. Instead, he returned to the previous topic: "Taking a thousand people by yourself, you really showed off. The pressure on your shoulders will be huge in the future."

Lin Chen looked completely bewildered, staring at Old Man Bao in confusion: "Chairman, didn't you think I was being high-profile? How come it's my fault now?"

Old Man Bao was taken aback at first, then seemed to remember something, and remained silent for a moment before giving Lin Chen a thumbs up.

……

Two days later, Lin Chen received a notification from Jiang Yunming, informing him that his enrollment procedures and all the necessary school documents had been prepared.

Lin Chen immediately went to Mingzhu University and began his four-year university life.

A month passed quickly, and the controversy surrounding the Beast Fighting Tournament was replaced by some new activities and events at the school.

One of the things was that, because of Lin Chen's appearance, the responsibility for the freshman competition was no longer borne by Mu Nujiao alone; instead, it was borne by Mu Nujiao, Dongfang Ming, Shen Mingxiao, and Bai Zangfeng together. Together, in the name of the four great families, they donated public resources equivalent to those provided by the school to all the freshmen.

That day, Lin Chen had just gotten up when he received a notification from Dean Xiao, asking him to go to the school library to collect his prize from the Beast Fighting Tournament.

Following Dean Xiao's directions, Lin Chen went up to the top floor of the library, which was off-limits to ordinary students.

Inside an office, Dean Xiao was sitting at a desk looking at a document. When Lin Chen entered, Dean Xiao looked up and gave Lin Chen a gentle smile.

"Hello, Dean Xiao!" Lin Chen greeted him politely.

Dean Xiao nodded: "Without further ado, let's get straight to today's topic."

"Mmm." Lin Chen rubbed his hands together, a little excited.

"The public resources were originally divided into countless portions for students in each department, but now we can only convert these into resources of equal value for you," Dean Xiao explained.

"As long as there aren't too many layers of deductions, it'll be fine." Lin Chen nodded; he understood the reasoning behind it.

"Let me give you the magical artifact first. I didn't prepare any armor for you. After all, you were unharmed during that rain of fire in the tournament, so you must have a pretty good magical artifact," Dean Xiao said.

Lin Chen nodded. Although the Azure Cloud Armor he obtained from Chen Fu was not good at physical defense, its magical defense was quite good and could withstand mid-level magic, which was sufficient for his current needs.

"By the way, I don't need any magical artifacts either," Lin Chen reminded him. Although the Sun brothers' Windwalker Boots didn't have much offensive power, they were quite fast and durable.

Dean Xiao looked at Lin Chen with some surprise, then waved his hand, and a demon-slaying tool appeared on his desk: "Since you already have armored demon tools and booted demon tools, I suppose you wouldn't be interested in ordinary demon-slaying tools."

"This is from my personal collection, called the Sleeve Cloud Arrow. It can be concealed in your sleeve for maximum stealth when used, and it can deliver a strike at the level of a mid-level general. What do you think?"

"This one is good, let's take this one!" Lin Chen nodded in satisfaction. Although he already had some offensive methods, having another powerful trump card was not a bad thing.

Lin Chen took the Cloud Sleeve Arrow, left his spiritual imprint on it, and put it away.

"Next, it's about cultivation resources. I've applied to the main campus for the Three-Step Tower, allowing you to cultivate there once," Dean Xiao said.

"I've heard of the Three-Step Tower, this is a good idea!" Lin Chen nodded.

"I've heard of it, so I won't go into too much detail. Just be careful when you go in." Dean Xiao said, taking out a bank card from his pocket and handing it to Lin Chen. "As for the third resource, it's the scholarship. This is the school's total scholarship for this semester, about two million yuan."

"Thank you!" Lin Chen took the bank card from Dean Xiao's hand.

"Finally, there's that bottle of Beast General's Spirit Blood. Although it's not very useful to you, you can sell it for money, or use it to acquire another Warrior-level summoned beast." After Dean Xiao finished speaking, he paused and asked with some curiosity, "Lin Chen, what exactly is the effect of your innate talent?"

Before Lin Chen could speak, Dean Xiao continued, "If you can use your talent to raise your dragon-type summoned beast or contracted beast to near the commander level before the end of the next semester, I will give you a very significant opportunity."

"What kind of opportunity?" Lin Chen's eyes lit up. Dean Xiao's emphasis must mean it has a very big impact on the Dragon type, which is perfect for Greymon and Guilmon.

"You should keep working hard. As for when the opportunity arises and you have the corresponding strength, it will naturally tell you." Dean Xiao waved his hand, indicating that Lin Chen could leave.
