"The me of today hasn't shown enough value yet—I'm just the trigger," When Qin Siyang spoke, his expression was relaxed.
He had the look of someone who had everything firmly under control.
Li Tianming and Qian Wenzhao had no objections to this.
Qin Siyang indeed had astonishing talent, far beyond what a high school student should be capable of.
He could even compete with those who had deep backgrounds like them.
Given time, he would surely become a dragon among men.
Qian Wenzhao said, "Old Li, explain to Qin Siyang what conditions he needs to pay attention to for special recruitment."
"Mm, I was thinking the same thing."
"Special recruitment conditions?"
Qin Siyang was momentarily stunned, "Isn't it just scholarships, resources, and God-hunting weapons? What else is there to pay attention to?"
"Of course, there's more."
"The most important condition is privilege."
"Privilege?"
"Yes," Li Tianming poured tea for the three of them, "In the safe zone, privilege is everywhere."
"When your God-hunting points rank in the top five at Exit 38324 of the safe zone, the coins you earn from God-hunting increase by ten percent. When you rank first, you can cut the queue for inspections."
"These are all privileges."
Qin Siyang thought for a moment, "Hmm... but these privileges don't seem very useful?"
"Yes, these privileges may not seem very significant. But that doesn't mean privileges, in general, aren't significant."
"The reason special recruitment can attract the top students is that it offers them greater privileges."
"For example, some special recruits have the privilege of entering the laboratory in their first year. Although they can't freely choose which professor to follow, the school will arrange for them to participate in frontline research under a professor."
"The earlier they enter the lab, the earlier they gain deeper knowledge about sequence awakening and gods. Speed is key—once you get ahead, you stay ahead. That's why many special recruitment agreements include this clause."
Qin Siyang waved his hand, "That's not a good example. Old Li, with our relationship, do I need special recruitment conditions to enter your lab? Isn't that like walking into my own home? Do you have any other examples of privileges?"
Li Tianming glanced at Qin Siyang and continued, "When you enter university, the school will assign some missions to hunt gods. After killing a god, you hand over its remains to the school and receive resources in return. These missions are highly competitive and a key way to obtain sequence potions. Some special recruits choose priority access to these missions as their privilege..."
"Old Li, that privilege is useless to me too," Qin Siyang kicked a locked metal box under the sofa.
Inside, the sound of glass bottles clinking against each other rang out, "Do I look like someone who lacks sequence potions? Besides, if you need any materials, just tell me. I'll get them for you. We can trade directly and cut out the middleman. No need for the school to take a cut. Isn't that great?"
Qin Siyang spread his hands, "Any other privileges?"
Li Tianming wiped the sweat off his forehead.
This Qin Siyang—sometimes reliable, sometimes a real headache.
"Uh, yeah, there's more."
"In university, aside from classes, hunting gods is the most important thing. Every semester, you're required to increase your God-hunting points by a certain amount. If you don't meet the requirement, you'll have to repeat a year or even get expelled. But if you're a special recruit, you can negotiate to lower this requirement, freeing up more time for other things..."
Qin Siyang shook his head and sighed, "Old Li, I earned over six thousand God-hunting points in a week. Don't you get it yet?"
"I'm the kind of guy who rushes outside the safe zone whenever I have free time. Do you really think I'd be worried about the God-hunting point requirement?"
Li Tianming glanced at Qin Siyang, tempted to strangle the cocky brat lounging on the sofa with his legs crossed.
'This kid is impossible to satisfy!'
"Ask them yourself when the time comes! I'm done talking!"
"Don't be like that, Old Li. You're knowledgeable, tell me more about the benefits of privileges?"
"Not happening!"
At this moment, Qian Wenzhao spoke up: "I remember some special recruits have the privilege of skipping final exams. Does that count as useful?"
Li Tianming scoffed, "That's the lowest-level privilege. What use would Qin Siyang have for that?"
"Hey, don't say that! I think that privilege is pretty good! Noted!"
Hunting gods and doing research were already exhausting enough.
As for coursework, it was just about gaining knowledge and understanding the world. Reviewing and doing exercises was a waste of time.
Why spend the final weeks of the semester studying in a school library when he could be out hunting instead?
Li Tianming looked at him in disdain, "Special recruits can only choose one privilege. You're really going to pick that one?"
Qin Siyang remained unfazed, "That applies to regular special recruits. Do I look like a regular recruit to you?"
"I've got the Vine Core, an Elder, a bunch of professors, and my own unmatched genius."
"Adding all that up, I'm easily worth fifty years of a university's future stability!"
"Other people get in through special recruitment. Me? I'm bringing capital into this investment."
"Honestly, I think I should at least get a seat on the university's board of directors."
Li Tianming snorted, "Why don't you just become the principal instead?"
Qin Siyang shook his head, "Nah, that's a bit much. A seventeen-year-old principal would put too much pressure on other universities. I don't want to cause unnecessary problems."
Li Tianming couldn't be bothered to argue anymore.
'Qin Siyang is getting ridiculously arrogant.'
'Whatever.'
'I will let him negotiate with the university and research institute himself.'
'By the end of it, he'll realize his own limitations.'
———
This Sunday was Qin Siyang's last bit of free time.
So he didn't go out hunting gods or browse the forums for study.
Instead, he spent the whole day at Wang Defa's internet café playing games.
He played from morning to night, with both lunch and dinner delivered by Wang Dezhong at Wang Defa's request.
Late at night, when everyone else had left, only Qin Siyang and Wang Defa remained.
They pulled up a table, set out their takeout meals, and had a late-night snack together.
"Boss Qin, you've been busy lately, huh?"
"Yeah, very busy."
"I figured. Someone as impressive as you was bound to get busy sooner or later."
Qin Siyang nodded, "Makes sense. Oh, by the way, I transferred ten silver coins to your account. I also sent five each to Ayu and Azhong."
"Huh? That much?"
"Keep it down. I don't have anywhere to spend money. Or rather, when I do need to spend money, this amount isn't even worth mentioning. I'm about to graduate and go to university, so I'm leaving some for you guys. At the very least, it'll ensure you're financially secure here."
"Well then, Boss Qin, I wish you the best of luck!"
"By the way, Afa, I have a question for you."
"Ask away."
"If, just hypothetically, I said you could create any privilege for yourself, what would you choose?"
"Create a privilege?"
"Yeah, if you could make up any privilege, what would it be?"
"Alright, here's my choice: the privilege to create privileges."
"The privilege to create privileges?", Qin Siyang chewed on a deep-fried centipede mushroom, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.
