Chapter 144: Lord of the Abyss, Unlocked!

"If you can't take it, you have to take it."

Hua Zhen showed the decisiveness that a palace master should have, and waved his hand and said: "How much is the budget of the academy this year? Take it all, I don't believe that we can't afford hundreds of thousands of pieces of equipment."

"Do you think we are still the top ten?"

Gu Changling did not give the old man any face: "The equipment in that boy's hands is worth at least hundreds of billions. If purchased at market price, it can directly drain our budget for several years. The equipment is bought, and then what? Let's buy it at the market price. Do students wear their equipment and go out to work to earn money?”

Hua Zhen said lightly: "Why not? This is how I came here back then. Not to mention my student days, even when I was a teacher or deputy palace master, I still had to go to the battlefield to earn merit and support my family! Now every brick in the Wisdom Academy Wa, isn’t that how we earn it?”

Gu Changling shook his head: "That was then, and now is now. There used to be abyss monsters everywhere, so where is the front line?"

"Those with low-risk levels have long been eliminated and suppressed. Those that can be transformed into leveling areas have also been cleared. The rest are all tough!"

Gu Changling sighed: "In the past, the war was fierce and there were too many top-level monsters. A legend could be created in a few years. Now if you want to become a legend, you have to dive into the real abyss. The statistics of merit points have been updated for many years. ? You can’t let a bunch of kids go to the front lines to make money, right?”

"Hey." Hua Zhen sighed: "It makes sense. Times have changed. Every era has its own situation... Is it so damn hard to make money now?"

"Old Palace Master, Palace Master Gu, I have an idea." At this moment, Xie Ling came over with a shy face: "How about we find someone to borrow money?"

"Who can I borrow from?"

Gu Changling glared at him: "You did this trick in your third year. Donghua Academy still has your notice hanging on it. What did you do with the 100 million blue star coins?"

Xie Ling laughed sarcastically: "I am a genius, so I have to find some resources, right?"

Gu Changling refused to accept this trick: "The Wisdom School can't support you anymore? Are you going to use you to harm Donghua? Who doesn't know your little thoughts? Wasn't it the people in Donghua who scolded you for not being enterprising? waste?"

"What are you yelling about? Let him finish."

However, Hua Zhen said something fair and was very interested in Xie Ling's proposal: "Go on, who can I borrow it from and how can I borrow it."

Xie Ling said with a smile: "It's very simple. Just borrow a little bit as a family. Isn't your face worth something, old master? The top ten universities will pool together a little bit and then report it to the Federation of Universities. This year's funds are not enough. Let's take a look. Can you give me some support?"

He clapped his hands and spread out his little hands: "Pull in here, do it here, isn't that enough?"

Hua Zhen was silent.

Gu Changling was also speechless and sighed: "Xiao Xie, your idea is quite good, but have you ever considered an issue? Let's not talk about the difficulty of getting funding approval from the Federation of Universities, but it will definitely be difficult to borrow money from the top ten universities. Do you want a certificate? The school's resources have been carefully planned, and everyone wants to cultivate new talents. Why don't you just ask for a loan? "

"Master Gu, don't forget, I borrowed 100 million people from Donghua Academy."

Xie Ling smiled even brighter: "How did I borrow it in the first place?"

Gu Changling's expression changed.

This kid made a fortune from Donghua University, and his method was not very clever. It was completely a scam from hundreds of years ago.

His family has some connections in the Abyss Research Institute, and he said that the institute has developed a new formula for lucky potion, which is several times more effective than before. He happened to be able to make this new lucky potion, but he was short of money to buy materials and wanted to cooperate with Donghua Academy.

Originally, Donghua University definitely didn’t believe it.

Who knew this kid could actually pull out a bottle of samples.

Donghua University said that it could help him buy the materials. He said that the formula had not been announced yet and could not be leaked. He could only handle it by himself and pay for it.

So Donghua Academy signed a contract with him, using a batch of new lucky potions as collateral, and gave him 100 million blue star coins.

Then……

This guy just ran away!

Where is the new luck potion? His sample was just boiled water from a hidden auxiliary profession with a lucky BUFF added to it.

He used this clumsy trick to disgrace Donghua Academy, and the boy's notice is still hanging on him.

Gu Changling said with a dark face: "You mean to pledge Chu Ran's batch of equipment, and then we can borrow money to buy the equipment?"

"yes."

Xie Ling said matter-of-factly: "I have read history, and this method was used before. In the past, people borrowed money from banks to buy a house, and the pledge was the property that did not originally belong to them."

"Although there are other issues involved, such as personal credit and income, we have such a big deal as the Wisdom Institute, so we can't just run away, right?"

"Pledge more than 400,000 pieces of equipment and loan out the money. When they call for payment, we will drain the value of the equipment and resell the equipment to them."

"You don't have to pay back the money!"

Xie Ling's eyes flashed: "Old Palace Master, Palace Master Gu, what do you two think?"

Gu Changling said nothing and just looked at Hua Zhen.

Hua Zhen thought for a few seconds and said in a deep voice: "It works, let's do it!"

…

Chu Ran, who found a room on the second floor, had no idea what crazy plan the people downstairs were discussing.

He took out the blood-red gem, and the choice of whether to change jobs or not if the conditions were met jumped out in front of him.

Decisively chose yes.

The next second.

The blinding light spread out from him until it filled the entire room.

The blood-red gem in Chu Ran's hand immediately turned into liquid and flowed into his palm.

When Chu Ran saw this, his heart couldn't help but jump.

I've waited for a long time and finally waited until today.

This high-end passive skill is finally going to be unlocked!

"Come on, let me see if there is any surprise." Chu Ran's gaze moved downward, and when he saw the unlocked passive effect, his face changed drastically!
