Chapter 59: The Value of Credits

When it came to a battle of words, Jing Xin was no match for Shi Ji. Talking to this guy always gave her a headache, making her feel like she would burst into flames at any moment.

Jing Xin clenched her fists, trying to suppress her anger. She didn’t want to waste words with Shi Ji. The more she spoke, the angrier she felt.

This guy seemed determined to oppose her.

Forget it. She’d have plenty of chances to deal with him later.

Taking a few deep breaths, Jing Xin relaxed a bit.

“I don’t have time for your nonsense. Let me tell you, I know all about your past at the Star Hero Academy. If you don’t behave, don’t blame me for being harsh. I admit you’re good with words, but don’t push me. Your credits are in my hands.”

At the Star Hero Academy, Shi Ji never cared about others. The academy accused him of disrupting other students, but he believed it was nonsense. How could sleeping in class disturb others? He always sat in the last row, not bothering anyone.

Hearing Jing Xin threatening to dock his credits didn’t faze him. He had only 60 credits, and if she docked any more, he’d be expelled. Jing Xin wouldn’t dare dock his credits without a valid reason.

Shi Ji remained calm, even peaceful. 

“Instructor Jing Xin, I only have 60 credits. Go ahead, dock one if you like. Maybe I’ll set a new record at Yinshuang Academy. Just in time for college entrance exams, I might still have a chance.”

Shi Ji turned the threat back on her.

In truth, Shi Ji was quite worried. He had no money and was glad to get by at Yinshuang Academy. If he got expelled, he’d be left out in the cold.

Jing Xin frowned, glaring at Shi Ji. 

How could this guy be so infuriating, not a single pleasant word?

Just looking at Shi Ji made her blood boil.

“I’m done talking with you. I called you here to remind you that every student represents their class. You’re in my class, and you need to be mindful of that. Especially your credits. Our class is an A class, with over thirty students. Except for you, everyone else has over a hundred credits. You barely passed the threshold.”

Shi Ji didn’t feel ashamed. He kept a cool head about it.

“Are credits really that important here?” Shi Ji asked, slightly more serious, dropping the jokes.

Jing Xin’s mood improved slightly. “You experienced the importance of credits in the cafeteria, didn’t you? Let me tell you, at Yinshuang Academy, one credit is almost equivalent to ten thousand yuan.”

Ten thousand!!!

Hearing that one credit was worth ten thousand yuan, Shi Ji felt his brain explode. 

‘Damn, one credit equals ten thousand, so his 60 credits meant 600,000 yuan.’

His expression turned serious, and a smile crept across his face. He said earnestly, “Instructor Jing Xin, as your student, I care about your well-being. I’d like to apply for withdrawal from the academy. Where can I exchange my 60 credits for money?”

Jing Xin’s previously calm mood darkened again.

What on earth was in Shi Ji’s head? Was he joking?

“How dare you curse me! Dream on! Is money all you ever think about?”
