Shanhai High School.
In a seventh-grade classroom.
Lin Zichen was attending class but he wasn't paying attention or looking at his book; his mind was full of thoughts about what happened yesterday.
Thinking about the Rat God Cult, he felt it was a security risk and that he'd need to be more careful in the future.
Thinking about the laser cannon of the mechanically modified woman, he realized he was still very weak. However, luckily he was young and had attributes like Use It or Lose It, Divine Human Wisdom Root, and Survival of the Fittest boosting him, so his growth potential was greater than anyone else's.
Thinking about the Phantom Squid atlas, he considered how to earn money to fill up the progress bar and then unlock some of the Phantom Squid's abilities by opening the atlas.
The school's scholarship?
The prize money from various student competitions?
What else?
Are there other sources of income?
