Chapter 471 - 384: The Old Lady’s Gift
days later, on the top floor of the farm office building.
"Brother Li Pu, just a small token of appreciation."
Mr. Pang warmly handed a chunk of Crystal Coins into Li Pu’s hands.
"This..."
Li Pu held the chunk worth 200,000 Crystal Coins, feeling a bit surprised.
Because this 200,000 was outside the previously agreed amount and not part of his remuneration.
"It’s what you deserve."
Seeing Li Pu’s confusion, Mr. Pang smiled and began to explain.
It turned out that in these 30 days, his farm underwent a significant transformation.
That is the investment in the Scarecrow army.
Under Li Pu’s directive and the Scarecrow’s leadership, this group of Scarecrows began to shift their playful energy into working.
For them, it actually wasn’t much different, even the work was more diverse and interesting.
Among all the tasks they did, the most impressive one was entering the high walls to feed the monsters.
Originally, with the Scarecrows’ combat skills, even in groups, it was hard to handle those ill-tempered monsters, because the monsters were also mostly in hordes.
In this aspect, Li Pu’s Scarecrow played a crucial role.
These days, it led its little followers charging everywhere within the high walls, seeing an unruly monster, it was all about one thing: fight, fight fiercely.
Now the monsters inside the high walls fear seeing the Scarecrow.
The key is the Scarecrow’s inherent ability of [Weeds], which plays a role at times like these, making its presence particularly weak.
This made it hard for the monsters to distinguish which one was the particularly powerful Scarecrow, they only knew that it must be hiding among the group of Scarecrows.
Therefore, when faced with the Scarecrow army now, these monsters are exceptionally docile.
Thus, the Scarecrow army naturally took over the feeding task from Bubu + Little Ugly Wolf and completed it quite smoothly.
Of course, feeding wasn’t Li Pu’s direction.
It was Bubu’s strategy to be lazy.
All in all, it achieved great results.
Mr. Pang personally observed, eventually concluding that this batch of Scarecrows could entirely replace the farm’s smart robots for feeding work in the future.
This way, the cost of feeding labor is entirely saved.
So, how could the wicked capitalist not love Li Pu, how could he not give him a bonus?
A bonus of 200,000 Crystal Coins is definitely not a small amount.
For Li Pu, it was both an unexpected fortune but also deserved, for him or rather the Scarecrows.
Besides, within these 30 days, he raised the monster levels in the valley base by a total of 1578 levels, earning a reward of 236,700 Crystal Coins.
Adding the successful completion of the Eggshell Beast training task and Bubu + Little Ugly Wolf’s feeding work, a total of 500,000 Crystal Coins.
Plus the 200,000 just now, that’s 700,000.
This fortune has already surpassed the new high he set coming back from Southwest Star Cup.
As for Mr. Pang’s side, he invited Li Pu to work more in the future.
Even said that if Li Pu quit school now, he could provide him a position immediately.
In Li Pu’s view, this talk was somewhat irresponsible.
Indeed, he doesn’t attend classes, but it’s not to the extent of dropping out, right?
Honestly, he would love to stay here to earn more money, but unfortunately, time doesn’t permit.
Not to mention the upcoming final exams, if he doesn’t go home for New Year’s during the winter break, his grandfather would definitely be upset.
However, 700,000 Crystal Coins made Li Pu quite satisfied, and it exceeded his expectations to a great extent.
It can only be said that sometimes if you don’t push yourself, you really won’t know the limits of your summoned beast.
Amid Mr. Pang’s warm requests, Li Pu finally sat on the Guan Guan Bird and embarked on his return to school.
Speaking of which, the past 30 days have been good for Guan Guan Bird too, enjoyed good food and drinks in the farm, doing no work at all, basically just eat then sleep, it’s gained quite a bit of fat.
Fortunately, even with the weight gain, its speed hadn’t slowed down; it quickly took Li Pu back to Xidu University.
Returning to the long-missed dormitory, Li Pu pushed the door open.
"I’m back, eh?"
But he quickly noticed that the atmosphere inside the dormitory was different.
The reason for such an atmosphere turned out to be Wu Guinan.
There was no Long Ren in the dormitory, only Wu Guinan and the Little Tree Man writing furiously.
The Little Tree Man naturally needs no mention, it was writing a review.
Though the Scarecrow wasn’t there, its spirit still existed.
So in these 30 days, the Little Tree Man owed 5 reviews of 10,000 words each.
This averaged to about once every 6 days causing trouble.
As for Wu Guinan, it was different, he was studying.
"You’re finally back, the timing couldn’t be more precise."
Wu Guinan didn’t even lift his head upon Li Pu’s arrival.
"Hurry up and revise, only two days left before the final exams."
Two days later, the year one students’ three-day final exam begins.
"Haha, really?"
Yet Li Pu responded with a serene smile: "So in the next two days, let me show you what a real genius is."
...
Five days later, the year one students’ final exams ended.
Li Pu sat in the dormitory dazed, holding the score sheet.
Skipping classes comes at a price.
This term, he failed all subjects.
He would never have imagined the exam content would be so difficult.
He obviously crammed overnight but ended up not passing a single subject.
His average score was just 48, 12 points short of the passing line.
