Chapter 242 Make World Tree Cry!
In the living room, the maid has prepared a sumptuous meal.
Eating is the favorite activity of two little elves.
Xiao Feng, who was feeling listless, instantly became energized when he smelled the aroma and happily flew to the dining table.
Xiao Yan also rushed over without showing any weakness.
Along the way, several accessories fell from her body.
Lin Ruoyu was taken aback.
It took a while for her to recognize that this little elf, shining with pearls and radiance, was Xiao Yan.
Chen Yu shook his head helplessly and followed Xiao Yan's path, picking up the equipment she had dropped.
On the dining table, in addition to the sumptuous dishes, there were seven sets of small tables and chairs.
Bowls and chopsticks were placed on the small tables, along with small plates filled with various foods.
These were obviously prepared for the little elves.
Xiao Yan and Xiao Feng didn't notice their designated seats and directly crawled onto the plates, continuously stuffing food into their mouths with their little hands.
The other five little elves sat down with Chen Yu. They didn't have as much interest in the food in front of them.
"Master, this is the comprehensive ranking list of the academy's students from last month."
Lin Ruoyu handed a tablet to Chen Yu.
The comprehensive ranking list is not a list of combat power, but a ranking based on students' various performances during their time at the school.
For example, the difficulty of job transfer tasks, dungeon ratings, task performance, cultural studies, and so on.
Of course, combat power assessment is also an important factor.
The list changes monthly and lists the top hundred students in each rank, with additional credit rewards for those on the list.
Chen Yu took the tablet and browsed through it.
At the top of the Rank One list was Su Miaoyue.
He had also heard of the second-ranked student, Yuan Xiao, who had declared that he would challenge Chen Yu in the ranking match dungeon.
He also knew the third-ranked student, Min Hongyi, who was Li Wei's girlfriend.
Li Wei himself was also on the list, ranking ninth.
At the end of the Rank One list, Chen Yu also saw the names "Lin Ailuo" and "Ling Fadao."
The descendants of the Overlord of Frost and the Throne of Fire, two forbidden powerhouses, ranked so low, which surprised him slightly.
But then he thought that Ling Fadao himself was from Kyoto and had come to Cloud River because he lacked confidence in his own strength.
Lin Ailuo and Ling Fadao were evenly matched in strength.
They were not top geniuses to begin with, so such rankings were not surprising.
On the Rank Two list, he himself was the first, which was not surprising.
On the Rank Three list, he recognized the third-ranked name.
It was the senior student who didn't like to dress properly and liked to cause mischief everywhere, Feng Xuejie.
There was no one he knew on the Rank Four list.
"Where did my sister go?" Chen Yu felt a little strange.
According to reason, Chen Mo, a Transcendent Level genius like her, should not be absent from the list.
"Could it be that my sister's level has already surpassed Rank Four?"
"She's neither dead nor on the list, so there's only one possibility."
Based on Chen Mo's deeds and the preciousness of the gifts she left him, it was not surprising that she had surpassed Rank Four.
In that case, his idea of surpassing Chen Mo was once again in vain.
"Ruoyu, can you inquire about someone for me at the academy?" Chen Yu said to Lin Ruoyu.
"My elder sister, Chen Mo."
"Chen Mo?" Lin Ruoyu was slightly surprised.
"How? Do you know her?" Chen Yu looked at Lin Ruoyu.
"I know a little." Lin Ruoyu said, "Master, your sister was a prominent figure who entered the school last year and had a lot of fame."
"Just after about half a year of starting school, she disappeared without a trace and didn't show up much at school."
"Can you help me find out where she is?" Chen Yu asked.
"Yes, master," Lin Ruoyu nodded.
"Also, I've obtained some spoils of war during this time, help me deal with them."
Chen Yu poured out the items he had just obtained from the box opening, as well as the precious materials dropped by the monsters in the copy.
"Clang!"
A crisp collision sound rang out.
Precious equipment and materials filled the corner of the living room, forming a small mountain.
Lin Ruoyu's eyes widened and her mouth slightly opened.
After a while, she regained her senses and exclaimed,
"I've heard that the more top-notch the genius, the less they rely on external resources."
"The most powerful ones can even earn money and level up at the same time. Master, you have made me understand the truth of this rumor."
During this time, Lin Ruoyu had been staying at home.
Without any service targets to gain experience from, she had still leveled up several times, which already indicated that Chen Yu's achievements were extraordinary.
It wasn't until she saw these equipment that she realized how terrifying his gains were.
"Master, are you planning to exchange all these things for gold coins, or try to exchange them for credits?"
"Can they be exchanged for credits?" Chen Yu asked.
"Yes," Lin Ruoyu said,
"Complete sets of epic-level equipment, epic-level or higher blueprints, rare-level or higher skill books, and other precious items like consumables of epic-level or higher can be exchanged for credits with the logistics department."
"Some special items, such as certain legendary-level building blueprints, mythical-level skill books, legendary equipment blueprints, and extremely rare materials, can even be exchanged for contribution points."
Contribution points are the high-level currency within Soaring Dragon University.
They can be obtained by completing important academy tasks or making outstanding contributions to the academy.
Chen Yu had contribution points in his account.
These were rewards for killing two demon god avatars in the ranking competition.
To exchange for the advanced mythical-level life tree leaves needed for the advancement of plant life, contribution was required.
"If they can be exchanged for credits, then exchange them for credits," Chen Yu said, "If we sell gold coins, do we need to sell them outside the campus?"
"The logistics department also provides gold coin exchange, but the price is much lower than outside," Lin Ruoyu answered.
"With the quantity and quality of the items you provided, selling them outside the campus would yield much higher profits."
"In that case—" Chen Yu summoned two Abyss Thorn Spirits, "When you go out in the future, take them with you."
"Yes, master," Lin Ruoyu expressed her gratitude.
Since Lin Ruoyu's soul had already been recorded in the Path to the Afterlife, Chen Yu's instructions to the two Abyss Thorn Spirits were:
Protect Lin Ruoyu as much as possible. If there is a situation where protection is impossible, kill the threat as soon as possible.
After finishing their meal, Chen Yu left the two little elves outside for Lin Ruoyu to take care of, and he returned to the Unsurpassable Sacred Ground alone.
Due to neglect during this period, the growth of the mythical-level plant Sword Intent Grass and Lotus was very slow.
Based on this situation, it would probably take several years for them to mature.
Of course, this was considered slow for Chen Yu.
For other planters to cultivate mythical-level plant life, it would take at least several decades, and they would also need to provide a large amount of resources.
Chen Yu used all of his remaining vitality attribute to accelerate the growth of Sword Intent Grass and Lotus, then walked to the World Tree and tapped its trunk.
A portal appeared, and Chen Yu stepped inside.
The mature version of the World Tree, dressed in a white dress and white stockings, knelt on a white halo and waved at Chen Yu.
Chen Yu walked over and said, "Shrink a little!"
Upon hearing this, the World Tree quickly shrank and turned into a cute little girl wearing a white bud skirt.
Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction and picked her up.
