Chapter 85: Chapter 74: Do You Have a Bootlicker System?
It’s night.
Inside the Healing Class’s four-person dormitory.
After weeks apart, the roommates reunite.
"Ke, I helped you with roll call in class today."
The speaker is Viss, the Healing Class’s number one simp (×) pure-hearted warrior (√).
Viss is a local, attending Ethereal Emblem High School since middle school, always flirting with a girl in class but afraid to make a move.
Terrified he’d ruin the relationship.
Chloe holds no opinion on this.
He thinks the girl is also playing games, occasionally casting a bit of bait but never really reeling him in.
Once caught, it’s no longer a fish in the pond.
Then after a few years of simping, college comes, and she has a boyfriend.
The guy is local, better off, sometimes seen driving a flashy magic car, taking her to a restaurant.
But that’s not why Chloe has such an opinion of her.
It’s because after getting a new extraordinary artifact, she quickly "amicably parted ways" with Brother Fu.
Before breaking up, the girl started playing games again.
"Thanks, Viss."
Though the principal had already prepared a leave note for him, Viss didn’t know.
Thinking he suddenly had something come up without time to request leave, so he helped mark him present.
He yawned and said tiredly:
"By the way, I went to the chamber today, they gave me quite a few things, see which ones you need and pick one."
He snapped his fingers, and a pile of exquisite gifts descended.
"Holy, Caroline’s Life Amplification Crystal Type I?"
"Bauhinia Flower Chamber’s second-generation Blood and Flesh Magic Expansion Array?"
"Basic Blood-sucking Vine? Good stuff."
The dormitory was filled with shouts and exclamations.
Fat Daniel pushed through the crowd, his broad shoulder wrapped around Chloe, whispering:
"Ke, don’t blame your brother for speaking out, honestly, have you hit the jackpot with a rich lady?"
Chloe kicked him in his broad behind and said:
"Do I need to cling to a rich lady’s thigh? I am the force myself."
"Awesome."
"Boss’s magnanimity."
Then the three each picked a piece of artifact.
Chloe watched with a grin, remaining mostly silent.
These were freebies.
Just like when he got the manuscript fee, he just had to go treat himself to a good meal.
Of course, he also went on a shopping spree at Mayer Trading Company.
Like the Life Amplification Crystal, it can make a healer’s life energy more active, further enhancing the effects of Flesh and Blood Magic.
He bought Caroline’s master Life Amplification Crystal Type V, enough for his use up to Sequence 5.
Being such a major customer, they gifted him the Type I as well.
The same goes for the Blood and Flesh Magic Expansion Array.
This thing can further expand the range of his magic’s effectiveness.
The second generation doubles the range.
He bought the fourth generation, which expands it 5.21 times.
The Blood-sucking Vine can extract life energy, shooting sharp spores to attack nearby people, a very dangerous plant.
But here, in Ethereal Emblem Healing Series.
This group of students can even turn bleeding demon plants into biological sniper rifles.
Extract life energy?
The Healing Series lacks no life energy.
Yet, Sequence eight and below can only use basic Blood-sucking Vine.
Chloe uses advanced Blood-sucking Vine, a mutated version.
Already having a higher replacement, these freebies become gifts for friends.
It’s also a way to share the joy of making money with his roommates.
...After all, the stuff he bought this time was really too much.
So much that the freebies could arm several student squads.
Couldn’t give them away, simply couldn’t.
Giving freebies without reason to those unrelated or in need, that’s utter foolishness.
He couldn’t do it.
Fat Daniel clicked his tongue in wonder.
He too had seen the big world.
Previously, he was the wealthiest in the dorm.
Just by looking at Chloe’s current expenditure, he could roughly estimate the heights this kid’s fortune has reached.
Truly a terrifying man.
Seeing his face showing signs of having wealth but unsure how to spend it, he said:
"What, too much money that you don’t know how to spend it?"
"Exactly, thinking of investing this money, money held isn’t money?"
"Why not start a mysterious association, like my Lion Heart Society, pulling a group of students in, trying entrepreneurship?"
In past lives, if someone told him that college students would start a business, he’d stare at them with eyes like looking at fools.
Ninety-nine percent fail.
No joke.
Without school entrepreneurship subsidies, most college student ventures end up losing money.
But Ethereal Emblem is different.
Mysterious associations, though somewhat company-like, fundamentally are built on extraordinary powers, forming a [group organization].
These group organizations often engage in Maze explorations.
Even Rephya would form a mysterious association in the future.
That association is the prototype for the future Hero Team.
If it were others, they might indeed lose money.
But only Chloe, with almost no possibility of loss.
After all... who else could better than him know which young talents in this world are worth discovering?
Moreover, Ethereal Emblem does have related policy support for newly founded mysterious associations.
Some Mazes, not usually open to students, if applied under an association, indeed grants access.
Know that external mysterious associations applying at Ethereal Emblem for Maze exploration need an entry fee.
But students don’t.
This alone saves a major portion of the association’s funds.
If further carefully select members, even without bringing in those geniuses from the original work, you could still make some money.
