It's just that the bonus isn't much. I remember that it's only… five million?"
You Chu immediately turned serious. "No problem. When do I report?"
He didn't care about money. He mainly wanted to contribute to the country's scientific research.
"Don't rush it."
Luo Qing seemed to find it amusing that her prospective junior was so eager to devote himself to scientific research. She couldn't help but laugh.
"I only said that I'll introduce you to our laboratory, but before that, you still have to get into our school."
"Huh?" You Chu said.
'More exams?'
"That's right. Of course, we have to pass the exam first." Luo Qing paused. "That's true, but the entrance examination for Summoners this year is long over.
Even if you sign up for the exam now, the fastest you can get in is next year… in theory."
"Theoretically?" You Chu asked, catching the point.
Luo Qing smiled mysteriously. "Yes, but it's not entirely impossible for you to enroll this year… As long as I help you fight for it."
You Chu brightened.
He didn't need to take the entrance exam to get into the school? Was having a Senior who protected him so well just the best?
"It's a competition organized by the Student Union this year," Luo Qing explained. "It's mainly participated by first-year students who have just entered our school this year.
However, this competition also allowed some Summoners who did not meet the requirements for the academy's entrance examination but were judged by the Student Union to have special talents to participate.
If the contestants get into the top ten in the competition, the academy can ignore the results of the entrance examination and make an exception to admit them."
"But I didn't take the entrance examination at all…" You Chu said.
"It's okay. The Student Union will be in charge of reviewing the list of participants," Luo Qing said. "I know someone from the Student Union. As long as I inform them, it won't be a problem to squeeze in another person."
This was indeed a hard-earned opportunity for You Chu. If he decided to take the path of a Summoner, it would definitely be a good choice to study at a top school.
In this world that was full of admiration for Summoners, as long as one could officially enter Jiangdu Summoner University, they would already have a rather high social status without even needing to graduate. No matter which path they chose in the future, their future would be bright.
Just like Luo Qing now, with the reputation of a graduate student from Jiangdu Summoner University, others had to give her face wherever she went.
However, You Chu was still thinking that it would be even better if he could skip the competition segment and directly enter the school…
"Oh, right, there's also the scholarship I just mentioned." Luo Qing smiled. "That's the prize money for this competition. I said that the prize money for first place is five million, but that's actually just an estimate. The exact amount hasn't been decided yet.
The Student Union is still wrangling with the Finance Department about the funding for the competition, but it should be at least three million…"
"Senior, don't worry." Before she could finish, You Chu said seriously, "I definitely won't waste this precious opportunity. I promise to obtain outstanding results!"
'I won't be sleepy if you have a chat about that. JPG.'
He had even called her Senior in advance.
Satisfied with the drive her would-be junior was showing, she nodded approvingly.
This was the momentum she wanted.
However, You Chu immediately looked troubled and hesitated.
"What's wrong?" Luo Qing expressed concern. "You can tell me if you have any difficulties."
"…Actually, it's nothing," You Chu said helplessly. "It's just that I think that even if new students participate in a school competition like Jiangdu Summoner University, there will definitely be many experts, right?
Senior, you might not know this, but my family background is actually very ordinary. It's very difficult to become a Summoner.
I have to study by myself while working part-time to earn money. I'm afraid I won't make much progress even if I work day and night for a month…"
Luo Qing thought for a moment and felt that he made sense.
Summoners had always been a very costly path. Lack of money had always been the biggest roadblock for countless Summoners to advance.
If one wanted to make a name for themselves in this industry, money might not be enough, but it was clearly impossible without money.
Although the Light Swordsman, Moonlight in You Chu's hand was an extremely rare [Epic], its quality represented the growth potential of this card, not its current combat strength.
What could represent a card's current combat power to the greatest extent was the level of this card.
The rank of the spell spirit was divided into eight ranks.
Although the spell spirit level was not necessarily related to the Summoner level, the two were generally considered to be related. This was because the higher the level of the spell spirit, the higher the energy level, and the greater the need for the Summoner's superb skills and control.
Normally, a Bronze Summoner could only successfully command a Level 1 spell spirit. The energy contained in a Level 2 spell spirit was already beyond the limit of a Bronze Summoner.
As an Epic card, Moonlight might have few opponents among the level-one spell spirits, but when the time came, she might not only have a level-one spell spirit on the field.
"Hmm… How about this?" Luo Qing thought for a while and suggested, "I still have something to do in Black City. Give me your contact information and address, then go back and wait for me for two days.
"When I'm done here, I'll find you some card refinement formulas and go to the academy to exchange some materials for you…"
"Don't worry, Senior. I promise I won't let you down!" You Chu immediately added.
