Fang Zhou exchanged a few pleasantries with them, and Lu Yiyi asked enthusiastically, "Which storeroom is Fang Xuedi planning to go to? We're quite familiar with them, so we can show you the way."

Fang Zhou looked at his personal terminal and replied, "Storeroom 2103."

Lu Yiyi blinked in surprise. "The storerooms on the second floor require E-level access to exchange for Cultivation Resources, don't they? Fang Xuedi, do you already have E-level access? I remember the list of first-year seed students won't be confirmed for about another month!"

Fang Zhou explained, "I'm still at F-level access, but I've joined the research group for the Undead Mage Profession, and these Cultivation Resources were applied for through the group."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiyi said incredulously, "There's actually a research group for the Undead Mage Profession?"

"Ahem!"

Lu Renjia glared at Lu Yiyi. "Isn't Fang Zhou's performance enough to prove the potential of the Undead Mage Profession?"

As he spoke, he eagerly led Fang Zhou into the logistics building.

"Come on, Fang Xuedi, I'll take you to Storeroom 2103."

Lu Yiyi realized her slip of the tongue and quietly followed behind, too embarrassed to speak further. As a second-year student, she naturally understood the significance of a research group. It was just that the Undead Mage Profession had always been synonymous with weakness in everyone's minds. Although Fang Zhou performed excellently on the Simulation Battlefield, the time had been too short to change most people's stereotypes. In her haste, Lu Yiyi had accidentally spoken her real thoughts.

Fang Zhou, naturally, didn't mind this minor verbal offense and swiftly followed Lu Renjia up to the second floor.

In Storeroom 2103, a one-eyed middle-aged instructor was tidying up a table. Seeing the three of them enter, he scanned the room and fixed his gaze on Fang Zhou, who was wearing a Mage Robe.

Fang Zhou stepped forward and introduced himself. "Hello, Instructor. I'm a first-year student, Fang Zhou. I just submitted an application to exchange for Cultivation Resources on my personal terminal. Here is my exchange list for your verification."

The One-eyed Instructor took the exchange list, glanced over it casually, and then looked back at Fang Zhou.

"TSK TSK TSK, so you're the new Undead Mage that Lu Laohu favors the most? You have a good presence. Keep up the good work! It's unprecedented for the military academy to set up a research group for the Undead Mage. Having a first-year student as the principal researcher is even more so. You'd better not let everyone down."

Hearing this, Lu Renjia and Lu Yiyi widened their eyes in shock.

What? A principal researcher?

In their minds, even if Fang Zhou joined the research group, he would at most be a research subject, just like that Demon Hunter, Ye Fan. Who would have thought he'd be entrusted with the responsibility of being a principal researcher!

The One-eyed Instructor glanced at them and said irritably, "What's all the fuss about? If you could independently develop an entirely new Skill Tree for a Profession, you could be principal researchers too."

Lu Renjia and Lu Yiyi quickly restrained their incredulous expressions, but their hearts were still filled with envy. They all knew that by becoming the principal researcher of the group, Fang Zhou could apply for a special fund to carry out his projects. At least during the Apprentice Stage, he certainly wouldn't be short on contribution points. Most importantly, he could also provide benefits to his friends in various ways, all within the rules. As a principal researcher, what's wrong with recruiting a few research assistants?

Poor ordinary students like them have to work tirelessly on various tasks at the military academy, feeling lucky if they can earn even ten contribution points a month. Comparisons are truly odious.

At the same time, they were also intensely curious. What Cultivation Resources is Fang Zhou exchanging for this time?

Just then, the One-eyed Instructor took a supply crate out from the storeroom, waved Fang Zhou over, and said, "Come here for identity verification. After you pay the required contribution points, you can take these resources."

Following his instructions, Fang Zhou completed the identity verification and began checking the contents of the resource list with him.

There was one bottle each of the Apprentice-level Power Secret Medicine, Constitution Secret Medicine, and Agility Secret Medicine; original price 150 contribution points, now 75 after the fifty-percent research fund reimbursement. Thirty bottles of Weak Effect Spiritual Recovery Potion; original price 30 contribution points, now 15. Thirty bottles of Weak Effect Soul Calming Potion; original price 60 contribution points, now 30. One hundred hours of usage time in the Apprentice-level Concentration Meditation Room; original price 100 contribution points, now 50. One hundred hours in the Apprentice-level Skill Training Room; original price 100 contribution points, now 50. Seven Primary Refining Stones; original price 70 contribution points, now 35. Seven assorted Primary Gemstones; original price 70 contribution points, now 35. And the Skill Insights for six Apprentice-level Skills—Summon Skeleton, Calm and Relaxed, Charge, Weapon Specialization, Block, and Battle Cry; original price 60 contribution points, now 30.

Under the stunned gazes of Lu Renjia and Lu Yiyi, Fang Zhou spent a total of 320 contribution points with the One-eyed Instructor, exchanging them for a vast amount of Cultivation Resources. Among the items were the Four-dimensional Attribute Secret Medicines, which were incredibly valuable and considered priceless for Apprentice-level Professionals.

So extravagant! This is truly lavish! Lu Renjia roared internally. It's one thing for an Undead Mage to exchange for a Spirit Secret Medicine, but why would you also get Power, Constitution, and Agility Secret Medicines? And why exchange for thirty bottles of Spiritual Recovery Potion and Soul Calming Potion all at once? Are you planning to drink one every single day? That's just inhumane!

Lu Yiyi couldn't help but cover her small mouth, her gaze toward Fang Zhou burning with fervor. This is the thickest golden thigh in history! She fiercely resolved to build a good relationship with Fang Xuedi! If even a few resources leaked through his fingers, it would be enough for her to feast and be full.

Even the seasoned One-eyed Instructor couldn't help but show his amazement. "Truly, the younger generation is formidable!"

Hugging the resource crate, Fang Zhou also felt a surge of excitement. With these Cultivation Resources, his strength would surge like a rocket over the next month.

After bidding farewell to the One-eyed Instructor and his two now-visibly-warmer seniors, Fang Zhou returned to his dormitory with a spring in his step.

Opening the resource crate, he first took out the three Attribute Secret Medicines.

The Power Secret Medicine was fiery red. Fang Zhou drank it down without hesitation.

Power Attribute +1.

Very good. Let's keep going! He then drank the earthy-yellow Constitution Secret Medicine.

Constitution Attribute +1.

Finally, feeling that it wasn't quite enough, Fang Zhou drank the emerald-green Agility Secret Medicine.

Agility Attribute +1.

These three Attribute Secret Medicines each increased Fang Zhou's attributes by one point, slightly more than the 0.6 point increase from the Spirit Secret Medicine.

This was to be expected. Since Fang Zhou's Spirit Attribute was already much higher than his other three core attributes, the higher an attribute's value, the more difficult it is to increase.
