The Awakening ended.
This year, Xia City High School struck gold, with 600 of their 3000 students awakening—30 at Level C, 3 at Level B, 2 at Level A, and the lone Level S, Xu Gu!
It was the best result in a decade!
Without a doubt, as the only Level S in both Xia City High School and the entire city, Xu Gu became the focus of everyone in Xia City.
Countless forces came rushing in.
They all wanted to curry favor with Xu Gu, offering all sorts of treasures, powerful accessories, Creation Points, fighting and scrambling to give them to Xu Gu.
The benefits promised were so stunning that even the vice-principal was shocked, and the principal was moved, unable to stay calm.
Envious eyes became dry with longing!
But they were all mercilessly turned away by Xu Gu.
As a Level SSS Leader Sky, how could he be swayed by such petty favors?
"Teacher Lin, handle these for me."
Xu Gu remained composed, showing no interest in wasting his time on this matter, simply instructing his Car Servant, Lin Yuna, to deal with it:
"Accept the freebies. Reject anything that requires a price to pay."
"Alright~ Master~"
Lin Yuna's cheeks flushed red. She was still excited just being in Xu Gu's presence, observing his large, awe-inspiring form, feeling weak in the knees, her chest heaving with excitement.
Level S, oh!
For an ordinary person like her, despite owning a few publicly-traded companies and standing out a bit for her looks and figure, she still counted as one of the most humble existences in society.
Becoming the Car Servant of a Level A, or even Level B Mechanical Man, was already considered huge luck.
She never dared dream that she would become the Car Servant of a Level S Mechanical Man!
Just as the saying goes, 'When one man gains enlightenment, even his pets ascend to heaven,' the higher Xu Gu's status, the higher hers would be too! Shielded by Xu Gu's status, she could even look down on other low-level Mechanical Men!
However, there were a few parties that Lin Yuna, after all, had no authority to deal with.
"Student Xu, I'm a recruitment officer from Imperial Capital Academy. Would you like to join our school? We can directly subsidize you with 200,000 points!"
"I'm from Magic City Academy, 300,000 points!"
One point is equal to one thousand Star Coins!
300,000 points, if converted into Star Coins, would be no less than three hundred million!
In this world, materials are extremely plentiful and the labor of common folks is quite cheap; therefore, the purchasing power of Star Coins is about the same as it was back on Earth in my previous life.
These numbers are undoubtedly astounding!
Just to know, the vice-principal has hustled for most of his life and is only worth a few billion!
"Our Imperial Capital Academy will send a teacher to help you with your leveling! We guarantee you'll be at Level 10 by the time you enroll!"
"I'm from Magic City Academy. We guarantee to get you to Level 15!"
"We'll take care of food and accommodation!"
"We'll provide you with an estate!"
"You!"
Watching the recruitment officers from the two prestigious Mechanical Academies argue over Xu Gu, offering so many conditions, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
"What? Direct subsidy of 300,000 points? I couldn't save that much in ten years!"
"Level 15 upon enrollment? That's just two months? My God! It took me like ten years just to reach Level 10…"
"Why don't we get anything?"
And nearby, two newly awakened Level A Mechanical Men looked dejected.
...
[Creation Points deposited: 500,000]
[Transferred by: Lin Yuna]
Xu Gu, who was watching the bickering recruitment officers from the two academies, felt the buzz and raised an eyebrow with a smirk.
His Car Servant really pulled through!
"This is my entire fortune. As your Car Servant, what's mine is naturally yours, Master!
"Of course, that's just in points for now. I also have some shares in companies, which I can sell if Master needs it," Lin Yuna said, gazing at Xu Gu with utmost tenderness and charm.
"More than enough!" Xu Gu laughed heartily.
That's a whopping five hundred million!
To get a super Car Servant and be paid for it!
Really nice.
From time to time, there would be exclamations from Mechanical Men.
"My god! A full five hundred points! To awaken as a C-level Motorcycle, recruit a Car Servant and still get paid?"
...
"Xu Gu, what are your plans...?"
The two recruitment teachers finally stopped bickering and decided to let Xu Gu make the choice.
However, they found that Xu Gu had vanished long ago.
At this moment, Xu Gu was already on his way home.
"Master, a Star Sky Manor has been rented.
"Everything within the Star Sky Manor is constructed to your height, meticulously built to offer the utmost comfort!
"Do you want to visit your old home?"
Lin Yuna asked thoughtfully.
"No need."
Xu Gu shook his head. Although it's said that a Mechanical Man can reproduce at a certain level, in this life, his parents were just ordinary people, and due to an accident, had been dead for many years, with no relatives to speak of.
There wasn't much of value in his previous accommodation either, naturally, there was no need to go back.
...
Transforming into Motorcycle form.
Speeding on the exclusive road for Mechanical Men, he quickly drew the attention of countless Mechanical Men and commoners!
The colossal body was shining with a handsome metallic luster, and inside the carriage was a fifteen-meter-long sword, attracting a wave of envious glances.
"Where did this giant come from?"
"That's the genius youth who awakened as an S-level heavy truck!"
"What a strong oppressive feeling!"
"It's so big! Even at Level 1, the firepower must be in the twenties, right?"
"Country bumpkin! The attribute of an S-level, Level 1 firepower must at least be forty or fifty!"
"What? Higher than my Level 18?"
"You're just a broken bicycle, isn't it normal to be higher than you?"
...
Listening to the exclamations of the Mechanical Men on the road, Xu Gu's mind stirred:
"I can't slack off! I must seize the time to level up. SSS-level may be rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns in Nanhe Province, or even the whole Hua Country, but it's certainly not the only one!"
"I am not yet invincible!"
"I must strive to level up!"
"With such talent and cheats, if I don't grind, it would be too unfair to myself!"
...
Star Sky Manor was like a castle, sixty to seventy meters tall, but only had two floors!
It looked like a prehistoric fierce beast, crouching
At the same time, it was also filled with a sense of technology.
Xu Gu walked into Star Sky Manor, looked up at the thirty to forty-meter-high ceilings, and the vast expansive rooms, with a smile on his lips.
"This house must be expensive, right?" Xu Gu asked Lin Yuna.
"Several hundred million. The land here is not expensive. Renting for a month is only a few million. However, when the master goes to develop in big cities like Magic City or Imperial Capital, the rent might be as high as several tens of millions."
Lin Yuna looked at Xu Gu's figure and couldn't help saying.
That's too big!
Other Mechanical Men are generally only two to three meters tall, the tallest being five to six meters.
But Xu Gu, a full fifteen meters! So the house suitable for him naturally costs more. Of course, it's also fine not to stay in a house, just find a parking spot and park there.
Xu Gu shook his head slightly.
Renting a house? How could that be possible? I, the mighty SSS-level Mechanical Man, Leader Sky, how could I possibly rent a house to live in!
Not to mention living in a parking spot!
"Find me a suitable place to level up."
"Okay!"
"Make money!" Xu Gu's eyes flashed with resolve. First little goal, exterminate all Steel Beasts around Xia City, level up to 30, and earn a million points!
