Domestication of Divine Beasts at the Beginning

Chapter 67 – The Old Principal owes Su Bai one hundred million! And the Principal still needs to keep accounts

Five million is no small amount, and with the resources Jiangzhou Martial Academy gained from the last battle zone league, each person would have at least fifteen million.

With so many resources, breaking through to Bronze High Tier should be easy.

But that's for others.

For Su Bai, fifteen million?

Is that even money?

And a promotion to High Tier?

I wish!

Seeing Su Bai not cheering, the Old Principal looked at him puzzled and asked:

"Su Bai, do you have any questions?"

Su Bai wasn't cheering not because he wasn't happy, but because he was afraid the Old Principal might go back on his word, so he wanted to confirm it again.

"Principal, did you just say you would provide me with additional resources to advance to Bronze High Tier?"

The Old Principal nodded, thinking that Jiangzhou Martial Academy would soon enjoy the status of a prestigious school, all thanks to Su Bai. Providing him with resources to reach Bronze High Tier was a small matter.

"Principal, you're such a good person!"

After Su Bai expressed his gratitude, he started discussing the details with the Old Principal:

"Principal, you should know that a Beast Tamer's advancement has two thresholds. The first is raising one's mental power to the peak of the corresponding level."

"Rest assured, my mental power has already reached the peak of Bronze Mid Tier, so I don't need extra resources from you to enhance it."

As Su Bai said this, he wore a look of saving money for the academy and the Old Principal, which moved the Old Principal. However, the Old Principal had a vague sense of unease but couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.

Knowing Su Bai's greedy nature, the Old Principal had carefully considered his promise, even willing to make a significant sacrifice to secure a good ranking in the finals.

But he still had a mental ledger. Advancing from Bronze Mid Tier to High Tier would cost about fifteen million in resources.

Since you're a Beast Tamer and need to feed your beasts, let's double it to thirty million, shall we?

This amount of money is still manageable!

With this in mind, the Old Principal nodded and said:

"Yes, go on."

Su Bai continued:

"The second threshold is the level advancement of the tamed beast, which allows the Beast Tamer to advance as well."

"But you might not know, my tamed beast is so large that its Bronze Mid Tier can rival Silver Tier combat power."

"So, it consumes relatively more resources, but since you promised to help me with the advancement resources, you won't go back on your word, right?"

The Old Principal was stunned. He knew what Su Bai said and was mentally prepared for a significant expense, but Su Bai emphasized it again.

Why does this bad feeling keep growing stronger?

But once spoken, words are like spilled water!

The Old Principal said with a stern face:

"Su Bai, just tell me how much you need. Our Jiangzhou Martial Academy won't be short of resources for you!"

Seeing the Old Principal's confident demeanor, Su Bai smiled with satisfaction. This was the moment he had been waiting for!

He glanced subtly at Gu Yueqingshu and the others, who were all witnesses!

Then Su Bai began:

"Principal, let me be straightforward. My tamed beast advanced from Bronze Low Tier to Bronze Mid Tier at the cost of over thirty million resources. Generally, advancing from Mid Tier to High Tier costs about three times that of Low Tier to Mid Tier."

"I'll cover the small change myself; you just need to give me a hundred million."

After Su Bai finished, the Old Principal's eyes widened in disbelief, looking at Su Bai as if to say, "Are you kidding me?"

What?

A hundred million?

Do you think I'm a fool, or do you think the academy is a bank?

Seeing the Old Principal's disbelief, Su Bai explained:

"The thirty million for advancing from Low Tier to Mid Tier can be verified. Among them, ten Bronze Tier Beast Cores were awarded to me by Mr. Wenyuan from the military, and you gave me fifteen Bronze Tier Beast Cores last time."

"One Bronze Tier Beast Core is worth 150 military merits, which is 1.5 million, so twenty-five cores are 37.5 million. Advancing from Mid Tier to High Tier, wouldn't it cost a hundred million?"

"Principal, don't you think my calculation is correct?"

As Su Bai spoke, he rubbed his hands together expectantly, hoping the Old Principal would confidently say again: Our Jiangzhou Martial Academy is not short of resources for you!

Gu Yueqingshu and Bai Ningbing were both dizzy from Su Bai's calculations. Thirty million is enough for a Martial Artist to advance from Bronze Tier to Silver Tier.

For you, Su Bai, it's only from Bronze Low Tier to Mid Tier?

And advancing to High Tier costs a hundred million?!!

Luo Yonghao and the other first-year prodigies were completely dumbfounded!

They looked at Su Bai in shock.

Is this guy scamming money?

The Old Principal knew that Su Bai wouldn't deliberately falsify accounts to scam him. What Su Bai said could be verified, and he indeed knew that Su Bai had exchanged for these things.

But he never expected that Su Bai had already used up all these resources!

Advancing to Bronze High Tier costs a hundred million?!!

Is Su Bai raising a beast? This is a rice bucket!

No, it's a rice vat!

For a moment, the Old Principal felt a mix of emotions, and unknowingly, the few strands of black hair on his head had turned much whiter.

But with so many students present, the Old Principal couldn't go back on his word. Moreover, providing Su Bai with resources was to help him achieve a higher ranking for the academy in the finals.

"Ahem... Su Bai, the school is actually not in an easy position."

"How about this, I'll give you three thousand military merits first, and the rest, let's put it on the account?"

"Don't worry, as long as you perform well in the finals, I promised to provide you with the resources to advance to High Tier, and you won't be short of them."

"You can rest assured about that!"

Hearing this, Su Bai was dumbfounded!

There's even an option to put it on the account?

Wow, Principal, you're really something!

Then what's the point of saying you'd provide us with resources to break through?

Su Bai, who was about to complain, noticed that the Old Principal looked even more haggard.

Indeed, Jiangzhou Martial Academy was never a prestigious school, and funds had always been tight. Being able to provide so much now was already a significant effort from the Old Principal.

A hundred million is no small amount.

Su Bai exhaled slowly. All along, he had been running around to earn money and resources for Little Eight and Xiao Bai, and now having the Old Principal willing to help share the burden was already a relief.

Forget it, for now, his strength should be sufficient, and as a student, he should aim to bring glory to the school!

"Alright, then three thousand military merits!"

"Uh... the rest on the account!"

Su Bai's first sentence delighted the Old Principal, but the second one...

Forget it, forget it...

After agreeing on the school's support for the students' resources, Su Bai went to the logistics department of Luohe Martial Academy.

This time, Jiangzhou Martial Academy had a bye for two rounds, winning only one match, and Su Bai hadn't even played. As a main team member, he only had two hundred military merits.

So Su Bai decided to exchange these military merits for money, sending a million back home and calling his dad.

"Dad, I earned some money during the competition and sent you a million. Please check your account."

On the other end of the line, his dad was still working in the factory. Hearing that Su Bai had sent him a million, his eyes widened as he said:

"What? How much did you say you sent me?"
