I am the Clone of a Death Row Inmate

Chapter 231: Chapter 196: Requesting a Spot, Reward in Hand

”Then I’ll have to trouble you, Mr. Zhou. In that case, please exchange all my rewards for contribution points,” Su Ze said.

’It seems contribution points are quite useful. They can be exchanged for supplies and even used to hire an St-rank powerhouse.’

’If all else fails, I can just exchange the contribution points for high-level resources and sell them via Evolutionary Technology. I wouldn’t lose anything.’

He made a mental plan: once he had enough contribution points, he would hire an St-rank powerhouse to help him hunt a 4th-order S-rank beast.

’A 4th-order S-rank beast was strong, but if Mrs. Yun successfully completed her fourth evolution and became an St-rank powerhouse, he could hire another one from Dongli. Two St-rank powerhouses against a 4th-order S-rank beast? The odds would be in their favor!’

...

Back at the villa, Su Ze focused entirely on taking his elixirs and practicing the movements to digest the extracts in his body.

Considering he still had to set aside time to go to the Royal Hunting Ground in Lin Hua Country and hunt a 4th-order S-rank beast, Su Ze felt an even greater sense of urgency.

The next day, the reward from the school came through.

The 1.3 million contribution points were deposited, bringing his total to 1.87 million.

He also received a message from Chen Xuejiao, telling him the reward from the Sovereign Country would be delivered that afternoon. It included not only the 4th-order miraculous item he wanted but also a natural medicine even better than Sun and Moon Epiphyllum Honey: the Acceleration Fruit!

The Sovereign Country’s reward was clearly far more generous than the school’s, and Su Ze was filled with anticipation.

However, Chen Xuejiao hadn’t said what effect the miraculous item had, only that it would come with an instruction manual.

As for the Acceleration Fruit, Su Ze had looked into it. He learned it came from a 5th-order Spiritual Plant, and its purpose was to drastically speed up an evolutionist’s ability to digest extracts. Furthermore, the fruit had no usage requirements; even an evolutionist in the Pupa Stage could use it, though it would be a bit of a waste.

”There aren’t many Acceleration Fruits available, but I managed to get ten for you this time. Use them sparingly,” Chen Xuejiao advised.

”Thank you so much. How much do I owe you? I can pay with my Evolutionary Technology Points.”

”Don’t worry about it. Just consider it a bonus for your team’s championship win.”

Su Ze was stunned. Ten Acceleration Fruits! According to online estimates, they were worth around ten billion—and that was assuming you could even find any for sale.

’The Sovereign Country doesn’t really care about the team competition. To give a reward worth ten billion to a team champion... there had to be some special treatment involved.’

’Su Ze was sure that the other five members of the championship team, like Li Yongguan, definitely wouldn’t be getting a reward like this.’

’Chen Xuejiao might have pulled some strings for him to get this special treatment, but he doubted she had that much influence on her own.’

Su Ze’s thoughts turned to the ”big shot” Chen Xuejiao had mentioned. ’It seems a relative I’ve never met is giving me some special consideration.’

...

That afternoon, Pei Wuhua notified Su Ze and the others in their group chat to head to the school auditorium and collect their rewards.

The rewards from the Sovereign Country had arrived!

Su Ze had been waiting for this. The moment he got the message, he set off.

When he got there, he was surprised to see that everyone else had arrived at almost the same time.

’Looks like everyone was eager to get their hands on the Sovereign Country’s rewards.’

The person delivering the rewards this time wasn’t Chen Xuejiao or her team, but a middle-aged man he’d never seen before. He placed the rewards for the others on a table, but Su Ze’s was conspicuously absent.

Seeing Su Ze approach, the middle-aged man smiled. ”Your reward is quite valuable. I have to deliver it to you personally.”

With that, he placed a box in Su Ze’s hands.

”Thank you,” Su Ze said, storing the entire box in his Storage Pendant.
