The beast’s meat was tender and elastic. Even though the meat had been frozen in the refrigerator for more than a week, the texture didn’t change even after it was thawed.
Chu Lingjun took a bite and immediately felt a surge of pure energy flowing into his stomach. It spread to his limbs and bones, strengthening all of Chu Lingjun’s attributes.
Simultaneously, half of the energy was shared with the electric eel clone, which also enhanced the body attributes of the electric eel clone.
The electric eel clone became stronger, faster, and more defensive!
Of course, Chu Lingjun always had the choice to not share his energy with his clone
Although the two were one entity, Chu Lingjun was the main body while his clone was the support.
It seemed like this was the first time his father had eaten such delicious beast meat. He didn’t stop gobbling down the food until he had finished half of the plate. When he realized that there was almost no more left for the rest, only then did he stop with an awkward expression.
Chu Yue ate quite a bit too.
Chu Yue didn’t have much of an appetite for other food, but she ate two portions of this meal.
After breakfast, Chu Lingjun squatted down beside Chu Yue and checked on her condition.
The effects of eating such meat were showing. After eating exotic beast meat for more than a month, Chu Yue’s shriveled calves were starting to grow plump.
He pinched it to check its elasticity. It was not as brittle as before, but more like a lump of soft meat.
“Dad, since you’re home today, should we take Chu Yue to the hospital? Her leg muscles are recovering very well.”
“Yeah, although this mutated beast meat is expensive, it’s really magical!” Fang Shuping had to take care of Chu Yue every day, so she always took note of Chu Yue’s condition every day.
“Alright, we can take Chu Yue to the hospital today.” Chu Xingguo’s face revealed a gentle expression when he stared at his daughter. “When Chu Yue’s muscles recover, we can arrange for her bone correction surgery. Then, Chu
Yue will be able to stand up!”
Chu Lingjun’s eyes lit up with the news!
Chu Xingguo and Fang Shuping were also delighted that her condition was getting better.
Even with all the good news, Fang Shuping still showed a hint of worry on her face. “Lingjun, I heard that this bone correction surgery cost a lot. It should be at least a few hundred thousand dollars! Then there’s the post-surgical rehabilitation… and the medication needed to recover will cost a lot more…
There were too many things that cost too much money!
Chu Lingjun wanted his father to retire and let him break through to a Rank Two martial artist. All of this required money as well!
Money wasn’t everything, but money was the solution to 99 percent of the difficulties in life!
Chu Lingjun smiled. “Mom, there’s no need to worry. The mid-term exams are coming soon. ”
Quicksand High School had a monthly exam every month. The second month’s exam was for the mid-term exam, and the fourth month was for the final exam.
“Hmm? What do your exams have to do with our financial situation?” Chu Xingguo was confused.
“The prize money for the first place in the mid-term exam should be a few hundred thousand dollars. School isn’t just a place to study. It’s also a place to pick up girls, find partners, and get paid!” Chu Lingjun smiled.
“I heard that our mid-term exam will be held in the arena!”
Chu Lingjun had just sat down when Ding Peng walked over and spoke to him and Chen Zhiqi.
“Chu Lingjun, I’m going to defeat you this time and get first place!” Chen Zhiqi’s eyes immediately lit up as she said excitedly to Chu Lingjun.
Chu Lingjun rolled his eyes. “Zhiqi, I don’t want to hurt your feelings but do I have to remind you how many times you’ve lost to me?”
Chen Zhiqi’s face suddenly turned red and she was slightly embarrassed by the reminder. “Failure is the mother of success. I will definitely defeat you one day!”
“I’ll be able to break through to Late Stage Rank One in a few days. By then, I’ll definitely be able to defeat you!” Chen Zhiqi gritted her teeth as she looked at Chu Lingjun.
“That’s right. I’m about to break through as well. Chu Lingjun, just you wait. I’ll teach you a lesson with just one punch!” Ding Peng’s battle intent was just as strong as hers.
During the first monthly test, their vitality had already risen to 60 points.
At this time, the two of them had naturally reached 66 points, but they were stuck at the checkpoint and were trying their best to break through.
Chu Lingjun shook his head. During martial arts class, Chen Zhiqi and Ding Peng would pester him every few minutes, wanting to have a real battle.
Chu Lingjun naturally agreed. He always gracefully defeated the two of them, leaving them in the dust.
During the school term, Chen Zhiqi and Ding Peng could still put some pressure on Chu Lingjun.
Now, Chu Lingjun was starting to get bored. Just the power of the Electric Field alone was enough to beat the two of them up.
At this moment, Chu Lingjun noticed that Shen Yanhu had walked in with a folder. He walked around the class and left.
After a while, Shen Yanhu appeared at the door again. He glanced at the class and seemed to be disappointed because he could not find anyone.
After hesitating for a moment, he waved at Chu Lingjun and said, “Chu Lingjun, come here for a moment.”
“Alright.”
The two of them arrived at the office.
“Lingjun, I’m going on a mission. I’ll be back in a few days at the earliest. I’ll have to leave this matter to you. You’re reliable, so I’ll be at ease if you handle it.”
Chu Lingjun took the folder from Shen Yanhu’s hands and glanced at it. There were a few big words written at the top — Scholarship Application Form.
“And this is?” Chu Lingjun looked puzzled.
“These are the application forms of Meng Shu, Bai Qin, and Tian Yu. It’s a pity that they won’t be able to get this bursary.
“The three of them haven’t come yet. Tell them about this when you see them.
Pav attention to vour attitude and wording. Don’t let the other students know about this as well. You have to protect their self-esteem, understand?” contemporary romance
“Understood.”
Chu Lingjun glanced at the application form. It was written that as long as the application form was approved, the three of them would receive a monthly subsidy of 800 dollars.
“Why hasn’t the application for the bursary been approved?” Chu Lingjun couldn’t help but ask.
As the class monitor, Chu Lingjun naturally knew about the three’s household situation.
Meng Shu did not have parents since he was young. He only had a disabled grandfather who grew up with a family of hundreds. He had an uncle who had always taken good care of him. However, he became a city guard a few years ago and disappeared. He was very pitiful.
Bai Qin’s father was a powerful warrior, but he was attacked by a strange beast when he was out of the city. His family’s wealth slowly declined, and now he and his mother depended on each other. A few years ago, her mother was diagnosed with uremia and now had to go to the hospital every week to undergo hemodynamics.
Tian Yu was in the same situation.
All three of them had applied for a bursary, but the amount of bursary for poor students was not high. It was 1,500 dollars a year, so on average, it was only more than 100 dollars a month..
The scholarship was provided by a general named Gao Baisheng, who was stationed in Quicksand Town.
Under normal circumstances, the school would give two bursaries to poor students,
Shen Yanhu’s eyes dimmed when he heard that. He said in a hoarse voice, “General Gao Baisheng is dead.”
“Wha… What?”
Chu Lingjun’s expression changed drastically!
“The military should be issuing an obituary soon… Remember to do what I told you to.”
Shen Yanhu looked dejected and didn’t want to say anything else.
“Yes, sir!”
“I’ll be off!”
Shen Yanhu stood up from his seat and waved at Chu Lingjun before striding out of the office.
The further he walked, the more firm his footsteps became. It was as if he had made a final decision, and his entire body was boiling with killing intent..
