Chapter 0009: A person cannot be wealthy without external resources

The oyster red eagle is indeed a valuable item, having become extremely rare due to decades of hunting. This item is a favorite among the nobility, and displaying it on the walls of the hall adds prestige. The academy's salary is quite ordinary, which is why the annual graduation assessments have become an opportunity for the instructors to reap benefits.

Your Excellency, the chief examiner, greetings! We are merely fortunate, unaware of how much they can be sold for. Nanjing gave a glance, and William hurriedly handed over the eagle claws and eagle heads, which were originally intended for Wilson. Since he took the initiative to come forward, it indeed saved a lot of trouble.

"What? Only 3,000 Federation Coins?" William stared wide-eyed at the number, showing signs of losing his temper, but was stopped by Nanxing, who grabbed his arm.

Nanxing's eyes lit up; he was in dire need of weapons, his level of desire far exceeding that of William. It seemed that his family could hardly offer any assistance, so he had no choice but to find a solution on his own

However, this Xuanyuan Nanxing in the chief examiner's tent can be seen as a form of protection, and one must give Wilson some face. After much consideration, it seems best to follow the other party's rules. Challenge? Why not challenge? The first place is not entirely clear; who knows if the chief examiner is engaging in favoritism? Although the probability of such an occurrence is minimal, skepticism remains. Moreover, if successful, one could also win the affection of a beautiful person, so why not seize the opportunity?

When the lid of the box was opened, William, standing beside it, wore a blissful expression. Inside were the Longxiang laser sword, the Silver Serpent electromagnetic gun, three bottles of blackberry antidote, a very simple yet exquisite maintenance tool module, a half-body armor capable of extending six spider legs, and an anti-jamming spiral positioning device

The mucus of the mud frog is an excellent raw material for lubricants. If one can take the effort to collect a bottle, it would be worth more than that of the sonic lizard, making negotiations much smoother.

The message should be consistent - the picture - the book is undoubtedly authentic. Surprisingly, someone has hunted down two oyster eagles; these young novices are indeed remarkable. After expressing his sentiments, Nanxing smiled and said: "Thank you for informing me, forty-two Federal Coins, in total we can hand over four hundred eighteen shares to you. Moreover, the two of us have not retained many shares, even the selected fine pieces will be handed over as well"

Alright, I am also agreeable. Let’s proceed with the acquisition at forty-two Federal Credits, including the oyster hawk. The total amounts to nineteen thousand three hundred fifty-six Federal Credits, which means you two will each receive nearly ten thousand! It is quite rare for individuals of your age to earn an entire year's salary from someone else.

"You big oaf, I know your name is William. You should learn more from Xuanyuan Nanxing! Don't you think the esteemed examiner would resort to tricks in such matters? Most students who have just graduated would spend any money they have on weapons, and what about you?"

However, very few individuals are able to cross that chasm. Most diligent individuals find themselves stuck at the level of a sixth-tier soldier, and as age increases, their potential declines year by year, making it even less likely for them to take that crucial step forward. Nevertheless, the weapons maintained by sixth-tier soldiers should be of good quality.

Your Excellency, I have requested the high-energy particle accelerator components on behalf of William, as well as this somewhat damaged battleship talisman and that set of rescue mecha. If you could provide a venue for modifications and supply some miscellaneous parts from here, I assure you that the price will not be a loss for you. After all, these items can easily be crossed off the inventory list; rather than bringing them back to the academy, it would be better to handle them at a discounted price.

"Not bad, very good, these are exactly what we urgently need. Although they are second-hand goods, they have been maintained very meticulously." Nanxing began to laugh and said, "Examiner Wilson, I really didn't expect that despite your usual loud and boisterous demeanor, constantly cursing, you actually have such a meticulous side. Those veterans with over thirty years of service can't achieve this level; it is indeed worth the money you deducted."

The campsite was illuminated by several bonfires, where familiar faces gathered together, chattering away. Rumors always spread the fastest, especially those embellished with vivid descriptions. A few instructors, well-acquainted with the students, joined in, and soon the matter concerning Xuanyuan Nanxing and Lan Xinrui became a heated topic of debate. Moreover, a reliable piece of news was circulating wildly: Xuanyuan Nanxing had actually secured first place in the assessment

At this moment, it became evident that those students with greater influence quickly grasped the general course of events. Even though they suspected that there was some hype behind the matter, they were unwilling to believe that Xuanyuan Nanxing could secure the first place and decided to get to the bottom of it.

There are no channels; it is merely the second-hand goods that I have eliminated. You can go to my large tent to take a look. Wilson did not regard the two little fellows before him as students; they were the first and second in the graduation assessment! Their future potential is limitless, far surpassing that of this timid fellow who is holed up in the academy

Do not be too quick to rejoice, as the two cards you have only total six thousand Federal Coins, which means each card has three thousand Federal Coins

Lizard teeth and soft skins instantly became hot commodities; some individuals, unable to produce the necessary items, approached William to negotiate using the mucus secreted by the bodies of earth frogs as a form of payment

Nanxing smiled as she looked at Wilson, taking a blue military points card. This card is equivalent to an anonymous federal credit card, but it can also be used in military areas, making it very popular among soldiers. William was somewhat taken aback; after receiving the points card from the library, he fell into a state of ecstasy.

Nanxing raised an eyebrow and said, "William, it seems that we do not have enough money! Quickly go outside and set up a sign, telling those eager challengers that if they want to prove themselves, they must present one hundred lizard teeth and soft skins. Only eight spots are available, and no extensions will be granted."

"You little brat, what a waste of time! Do you know how many lizards are equivalent to hunting a clam hawk? Especially a creature this large, it’s worth at least twenty lizards. Although some have hunted two clam hawks, they have to share them among five people, and their size cannot compare to yours. I can now clearly tell you that in this examination, you two have secured the first and second places. How about that? You should feel more at ease now, right? Hehe, forty, forty federations? I can now clearly tell you that in this examination, you two have secured the first and second places. How about that? You should feel more at ease now, right? Hehe, forty, forty federations? I will also give each of you a military points card." Wilson began to haggle.

Upon entering the large tent, one notices that the ground is covered with blankets, and neon lights hang from above. Then, there are piles of components stacked high. Nanxing, filled with interest, cannot help but walk around the components, moved by the sight.

Well, the chief examiner should be quite familiar with my situation. If any rumors could be spread, it would be even more effective. To prevent those unruly individuals, I will stay here with you, as it seems to be a safer option

Wilson let out a sigh of relief; the spaceship accident had resulted in significant losses, and his year-end bonus was certainly gone. Several little ones at home were all counting on him as their father! Through this transaction, he finally managed to recover some of the losses, but there was more to come.

When Nanxing and William returned to the campsite, the chief examiner Wilson took the initiative to approach them, his eyes fixated on the enormous eagle claws and the eagle's head

Many people let out a sigh of relief, having finally endured these seven years, and can finally step out of the Glimmering Star. Although they have received news from previous graduates that the first two years of military service are extremely arduous and quite dull, the young men are filled with dreams. They hope to broaden their horizons in a new environment, aspire to work in entirely new fields, and wish to embark on a magnificent journey in life, engaging in battles with those of different races.

Alright! What had originally cooled down suddenly took on a whole new appearance after a short while. Despite Lan Xinrui's earnest explanations, the more she explained, the more powerless she felt. With so many people at the campsite and it being dark, how could anyone manage?

"Hehe, you little rascal, take it easy and don't cause any trouble. It doesn't matter during the assessment, but now it's under my control." Wilson stepped forward and patted Nanxing on the shoulder, then turned to walk out of the tent. Scandals cannot rely on William; one must never underestimate the power of hype.

Look at this color, look at this gaze, you have handled it very well, without losing its essence. If you are going to sell, sell it to me! I won't let you suffer a loss, 1,800 Federal Coins. If possible, sell me those lizard teeth and soft skin as well

"Xuanyuan Nanxing, come out! You have already met the requirements. Let me assess just how capable you truly are!" The long-haired youth activated his laser sword, the sword's light illuminating the scars on his face, a chilling aura spreading around him, a demeanor only someone who has taken lives would possess.

Are you suggesting providing channels for purchasing high-end weapons through agents

"Calm down and listen to the examiner's explanation," Nanxing said with an unchanged expression

"Hey! You little brat, you actually have your eyes on these things. I brought you in here to sell those treasures. Just a moment, I will take out the well-maintained equipment for you." Saying this, Wilson walked towards a corner of the tent and moved out a large box from there.

Young man, you have made quite a good harvest

Some say that Lan Xinrui pursued Xuan Yuan Nanxing, while others claim that Xuan Yuan Nanxing did something to Lan Xinrui. Do not underestimate the imagination of fourteen-year-old youths; at times, it can be even more wicked than that of adults

Wow, Mom is right, a horse does not grow fat without night grass, and a person does not become wealthy without external wealth. External wealth, oh external wealth, how I love you. William stormed out of the tent to act as a gatekeeper. If they could really obtain eight hundred lizard teeth and soft skins, the two of them would be considered to have a modest fortune, which would certainly be of great help in the future. Poor students who wish to rise often have to find their own way.

Hahaha, you two little rascals, this is my precious treasure. You are quite lucky; if you were to save money diligently, it would take at least three to four years of frugality to gather these items, and you wouldn't be able to get them for less than 35,000 Federation coins. Now, I am giving you a bargain, even including the box. If you wish to purchase other items in this tent, that will be calculated separately

On the fifth day of the assessment, when the sunlight is completely submerged below the horizon, it signifies the conclusion of the graduation class assessment at the Galan Star War Academy

The items piled here are all valuable goods dismantled from the troop transport ship, or rather, the valuable remnants left after the ship's crash. A cursory glance reveals a turbo capacitor decomposer, a bamboo-shaped energy converter, components of a high-level particle accelerator cannon, as well as a captain's lifeboat mech, and a silver-white battleship talisman used to deploy energy shields for defense against unexpected attacks.

Nanxing secretly glanced at the life emblem crystal attached to Wilson's wrist. Although the other party did not display their rank, it could be inferred from the color and size of the emblem that they had likely reached the level of a Sixth-Class Elite Soldier, just a step away from becoming an Enforcer

1,800 federal coins?" Nanjing nodded upon hearing the quote and said, "That is indeed a fair price, but the lizard teeth and soft skins require 45 federal coins each. You know, it is not easy for us; collecting these spoils has even delayed our assessments.
