Chapter 42: She Had No Right to Choose a School!
Because the plant-based department was relatively unpopular, schools on numbered planets and small planets did not have this major. Even on the major planets, there were very few that had this ability department.
Jiang Ning opened the StarNet and searched online carefully.
Among the first-class schools, Trantor Academy, Aston Din Academy, King’s College, and New Zealand all had plant-based departments.
However, the admission requirements for these schools were extremely strict. Besides the requirement that one’s psychic energy level must be A-rank or above, one also had to have a major planet household registration to be able to study there.
Jiang Ning directly passed on all four of these schools.
Below these four academies were the second-class academies, a total of six.
Their admission requirements were not as strict as the first-class academies. Jiang Ning logged into the official websites of these six schools one by one to take a look.
After looking through them all, these six schools either did not have a plant-based major or the tuition was too expensive. Overall, they were not very suitable for her.
The last category was the third-class academies, also commonly known as the last-tier schools by the star citizens, a total of ten.
These ten academies were very friendly to people from numbered planets, and their admission requirements were also much more lenient than the previous two categories. The tuition fees varied, and there were many choices available.
The proportion of the ten ability schools that offered a plant-based major was about one-half. She eliminated the schools that did not have a plant-based department one by one. The remaining academies were Saiya Ben Academy, Betty Academy, Basto Academy, Peter Academy, and Semir Academy, which had just added a plant-based major this year.
Among them, Saiya Ben Academy, which Dr. Tian had mentioned, had the best reputation, and the tuition was only sixty thousand star coins a year.
This was also the school she considered first. She opened the official website of Saiya Ben Academy, learned about the school’s style and appearance, and then clicked on the 【I want to apply】 entrance.
After filling in the information and preparing to submit, a pop-up window appeared.
【Sorry! This academy only accepts applications from citizens under the age of 16.】
Jiang Ning: “…”
She had never expected to be stuck by an age limit.
She browsed the academy’s forum for a long time before she learned that Saiya Ben’s academic year was a few years longer than other schools. To keep the students’ graduation age from being extended, they had to correspondingly restrict the admission age.
There was no other way. She could only change her target.
Jiang Ning logged into the official websites of the remaining academies. After a series of operations, she finally understood her current situation.
She had no right to choose a school at all!
In the end, Jiang Ning applied to Semir Academy.
The tuition was 30,000 star coins a year, it was the closest to Planet M412, it had a newly established major, no rank restrictions, no age restrictions, no education restrictions, and it accepted individual applications.
This was the only school that would accept her.
It was currently the school application season, and students from all academies were submitting their applications.
Ever since the last assessment test, after Ke Lai had brought back the A-rank mutated root that Jiang Ning had given her, the school had re-tested her psychic energy level. The good news was that her psychic energy had actually reached A-rank.
So Ke Lai had also been having a headache over choosing a school during this period.
The day after Jiang Ning filled out her application information, she received a call from Ke Lai.
On the phone, Ke Lai told her that her whole family was planning to move to a major planet, and she was going to study at Trantor Academy.
“Congratulations,” Jiang Ning said, and by the way, she also told Ke Lai the news that she was going to school as well.
“Has Semir Academy really fallen so far?” After hearing Jiang Ning’s description of its admission requirements, a look of disbelief appeared on Ke Lai’s face.
Realizing that what she had said was wrong, she quickly explained, “I’m not talking about you.”
“It’s okay.”
Ke Lai said slowly, “Semir Academy was once glorious. At its best, it even ranked among the first-class schools. It’s just that it slowly declined later, and its resources and teaching gradually couldn’t keep up with the times. Now it has fallen to a third-class school.”
“I have no right to choose,” Jiang Ning’s tone was faint. “Perhaps Semir Academy is not the best, but for me at present, it is the only one that can take me in.”
Ke Lai had a goal to strive for, and so did she.
The two of them avoided this topic and chatted about their recent situations for a while.
Three days later, Ke Lai moved. Jiang Ning specially went to the airline station to see her off.
As for her family’s spirit tool shop, Ke Lai’s father waved his hand and hired an agent manager to be responsible for the shop’s operations.
After seeing Ke Lai off, Jiang Ning also began to prepare for her school enrollment.
On Semir’s admission notice, the start date of the school was at the end of this month.
If she went to school, the sunflowers at home would surely wither without anyone to take care of them, so she needed to take these sunflowers with her.
She planned to reduce the number of sunflowers she had on hand to ten. The rest, she planned to sell them all.
Firstly, she could earn some living expenses before school started. Secondly, she was not sure if there was enough space in Semir Academy for her to raise these plants.
Ten was not a large number, and the suns they produced were barely enough.
She did not consume a huge amount of psychic energy to ripen them all at once like last time, but instead broke the workload down into several days.
There were twelve sunflowers left. Jiang Ning remembered what Chang Ming had said and specially informed Chang Ming before listing them.
She had already given a pot to Chang Ming and was not sure if Chang Ming still needed one this time.
【Little Jiang Loves Farming: The sunflowers are about to be restocked, a total of 12.】
【AAA Mutated Beast Wholesaler!!】
【AAA Mutated Beast Wholesaler: Master, we are really on the same wavelength.】
【AAA Mutated Beast Wholesaler: I’m ready to snatch them!!】
Several messages came from Chang Ming’s side in a row.
He had felt the effect a few days after bringing the sunflower back. The effect of the plant spirit tool was simply incredibly good.
Before he had even finished using one pot, he was already planning to get another one.
He was just about to send a message to ask Jiang Ning if she was still selling them when her message came.
【Little Jiang Loves Farming: Yes.】
Jiang Ning re-listed a new link in the backend. The link she had taken down last time could not be used again.
After setting the quantity, she hesitated in the price column.
‘Ding dong—’
A message notification came from the Star Brain. Chang Ming had sent another message.
【AAA Mutated Beast Wholesaler: Jiang Ning, I think the price of your spirit tool is still too cheap. It should be at least around nine hundred thousand.】
Chang Ming was being selfish. A higher price could quickly weed out a batch of poor people, which would increase his chances of snatching an order.
Anyway, he had plenty of money.
And after getting along, he felt that this Jiang Ning person was really sincere. Not only was her personality sincere, but her pricing was also very sincere.
If he kept taking advantage of her like this, what if one day Jiang Ning found out the real price of her sunflowers? Would she blame him?
Chang Ming watched as the chat box between the two of them kept showing 【The other party is typing…】
He waited anxiously for a long time.
The other side finally replied.
【Little Jiang Loves Farming: Got it.】
Jiang Ning switched back to the shop’s backend and set the price of the sunflower to 999,999 star coins.
Click to list.
She had accumulated a wave of traffic last time, so this time, as soon as Jiang Ning listed the new product, most of the netizens who had subscribed to her shop received a notification of the new product on their Star Brains.
【Pig Brother: Is the price wrong? Why does it show 999,999 star coins?】
He was one of the netizens who had come in later in Jin Jiu’s live stream. Because he had been in a wait-and-see stage last time, he had not placed an order. But later, he saw that all the reviews of the goods were unanimously positive, and they said that it could indeed increase psychic energy, so he wanted to wait for it.
But last time it was only 999 star coins, and this time the price had actually increased by nearly 1000 times.
【Bamboo Salt Loquat Dried: The sensible people have already placed their orders. The new ones are still asking about the price. (Screenshot)】
She threw out a screenshot of an order.
She had bought one last time because she thought the sunflower was beautiful. She hadn’t expected it to actually increase her psychic energy.
She had even gone to a professional institution offline to have it authenticated, and the experts all said that this was a top-tier spirit tool.
So she had been waiting day and night for this spirit tool master to release new products.
Limited to twelve orders, they were all snatched up in less than a minute.
Those who had gotten one all showed off with screenshots. The rest cried and begged Jiang Ning to add to the stock.
Of course, there were also some who were deterred by the high price.
As expected, such a good thing couldn’t happen every time.
Sigh!
Jiang Ning had just refreshed, and she saw that all twelve sunflowers had been sold out.
Jiang Ning: “!”
Are there really so many rich people in the interstellar space?
She had been hesitating whether the price she had set was too high, which would lead to it not being sold at all.
And now, she just wanted to fight it out with this group of rich people.
Jiang Ning prepared the twelve pots of sunflowers and directly contacted the staff of the space logistics station to come and pick them up.
Nine hundred and ninety thousand a pot, twelve pots totaled nearly twelve million star coins.
So much money, she wouldn’t have dared to think about it in the past.
“Hehe~”
Jiang Ning wiped her saliva.
Becoming rich overnight, she was afraid she would wake up laughing from her dreams.
But the money was still held by the platform and had not yet reached her account. Jiang Ning was still not at ease. For the first time, she took the initiative to contact the space logistics station and asked them to pick up the goods as soon as possible.
Only when it was in her pocket would she feel at ease.
The Changfeng backend received a large sum of money, and this matter even alarmed the company’s senior management.
The scale of their shopping website ranked among the top three in the interstellar space, and the website’s usual turnover was not low. But for a single shop to have a daily turnover of more than ten million was really unheard of.
So they looked through the shop information and found that this turnover actually came from a new shop that had only been open for three months, and the shop only sold sunflowers. The sales of the two products added up to less than 150.
And this order all came from the second product link, priced at nine hundred and ninety thousand star coins.
The senior management was collectively confused. “???”
Is selling flowers so profitable these days?
Not only were the leaders of Changfeng confused, but other netizens were also confused.
Due to the huge turnover, the exposure mechanism of the Changfeng website directly sent her 【Sunflower Sea】 shop to the top of the homepage.
Many clueless consumers clicked in one after another.
【Cotton Fluffer: Changfeng website? Are you guys crazy?】
【Sparkling: A shop with a monthly sales of 120+ has also reached the top?】
【Healing-type ability is assisting: Crazy! Hurry up and fix your crappy website. It’s affecting the shopping experience too much!】
【Cat Can Do a Backflip: Has anyone noticed the price of this shop? Nine hundred and ninety thousand, oh my god! That’s too expensive.】
【Rootless Water: Sunflowers? Are they selling flowers?】
【Tree of Life: Wait, it seems things are not that simple. It’s a spirit tool!】
【Son of Fire: A spirit tool, that’s reasonable! No, shop owner, please add to the stock.】
【I’m Very Rich: +1】
The comments in Jiang Ning’s online shop were still increasing.
Chang Ming, who had been waiting in front of the shop to snatch one the moment she listed the new product: “…”
Damn it! He didn’t get a single one!
He had clearly reduced a lot of competitors.
No, next time he had to suggest that Jiang Ning set the price even higher.
