Lin Mo Yu truly understood the value of points being better than gold.
The cheapest dorm was the four-person dorm, costing 500 points per month.
The two-person dorm cost 1000 points per month.
A single-person dorm would cost 2000 points per month.
As for those stand-alone houses, they required tens of thousands of points per month.
If you didn't have points, you could pay with gold.
Just add two more zeroes to the end.
A four-person dorm would require 50,000 gold per month, while a single-person dorm would cost 200,000 gold.
That was certainly not cheap.
Lin Mo Yu currently had only a few hundred gold.
Each point could be exchanged for 100 gold.
However, gold could not be exchanged for points.
If caught, there would be severe punishment.
Bai Yi Yuan had said that most things could be traded in Xia Jing Academy.
Exchanging gold for points belonged to the minority.
Besides that, there were many resources that could only be purchased with points.
Therefore, points became the most important hard currency in the academy.
Where gold could be used, points would never be used.
Points should be saved whenever possible.
Through the man's detailed explanation, Lin Mo Yu had learned a lot.
His name was Jiang Tao, a student who had entered Xia Jing Academy two years ago.
He was now a manager in the residential area, responsible for managing some small matters, while also earning some points.
From his words, it could be heard that points were not easy to earn.
Perhaps because of Bai Yi Yuan's relationship, Jiang Tao was particularly polite to Lin Mo Yu.
"Lin classmate, I know you just finished the grand exam and should have quite a few points."
"But I still have to advise you to save points whenever possible. There will be many places where you need points later on."
Lin Mo Yu generally understood. He should be frugal with his spending.
However, he had no gold and didn't want to share a room with others.
"I want a single-person dorm."
Jiang Tao looked at Lin Mo Yu, "Are you sure?"
Lin Mo Yu nodded.
Jiang Tao sighed, "Sigh, you're truly wealthy and carefree. You don't know the value of saving now, and you'll regret it when you know how hard points are to earn."
He sighed and lamented, as if he was a seasoned veteran with a tale to tell.
He led Lin Mo Yu into the residential area, into Building 8, and went straight to the second floor.
"Building 8 is all single-person dorms."
"On the second floor, except for 206, 208, and 209, which are already occupied, the rest are empty. You can choose any of them."
Lin Mo Yu looked down the row, pointing to the nearest one, "This one."
"Room 201. Give me your ID card, I'll make a registration."
The ID card could only be used by the owner. Even if it was lost, it would be useless for someone else to pick it up.
Jiang Tao took a machine, swiped the ID card, and then had Lin Mo Yu confirm with a fingerprint.
Beep, the points were deducted.
Jiang Tao's eyes widened instantly, and he let out a strange cry.
"How did you get so many points?"
The machine was displaying Lin Mo Yu's point balance.
After deducting 1000 points, there was still 133605 points left.
Over 130,000 points startled Jiang Tao.
Lin Mo Yu said, "Reward for the exam."
Jiang Tao looked at Lin Mo Yu as if he was a god of wealth, "No wonder you want to live in a single-person dorm, you have so many points."
"Since I entered the academy, I've only earned less than 10,000 points. Not even a fraction of yours."
"You're truly wealthy."
"Alright, starting now, Room 201 in Building 8 is your dorm."
"No one can come in without your permission."
"Until you leave, no one else can rent this room."
"Get some rest. If you need anything, come find me."
Lin Mo Yu nodded, then suddenly asked, "Senior, have you ever heard of Lin Mo Han?"
Jiang Tao pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "Never heard of him."
"You're called Lin Mo Yu, and Lin Mo Han is your relative, right?"
"There are too many people in Xia Jing Academy. It's normal not to have heard of him. You can ask at the Academic Affairs Office tomorrow."
Jiang Tao rattled off a bunch of things, then suddenly said before leaving, "Oh, remember to buy a communicator tomorrow, otherwise it'll be very inconvenient."
Closing the dorm door, Lin Mo Yu's ears were finally peaceful.
The single-person dorm was not big, the furnishings were simple and clean.
Lin Mo Yu sat on the bed and began to meditate, recovering his mental energy.
The next morning, someone knocked on the dorm door.
Lin Mo Yu opened the door, his eyes filled with surprise and joy.
Ning Yi Yi, whom he hadn't seen in days, stood at the door, looking pretty and charming, "What's wrong? Don't you recognize me?"
Lin Mo Yu smiled slightly, "I do."
Ning Yi Yi giggled, "Come on, come on, I'll take you to have breakfast, and then I'll show you around Xia Jing Academy."
There was a school cafeteria next to the residential area. It was early in the morning, and there were many people having breakfast.
Ning Yi Yi quickly grabbed a bunch of food.
Quite a bit of food.
This girl Ning Yi Yi's appetite was still as good as ever.
When it was time to pay, Lin Mo Yu took out his ID card, "I'll pay."
Ning Yi Yi giggled and didn't stop him.
Beep, 5 points were deducted.
Ning Yi Yi was surprised, "You're paying with points? You can pay with gold here. You should never use points where you can use gold."
Lin Mo Yu whispered, "I don't have gold."
Ning Yi Yi slapped her head, "You don't have gold, you should have said so. This miss has plenty of gold. Don't waste points, they are hard to earn."
Lin Mo Yu smiled, "It's alright."
Ning Yi Yi said with relief, "Good, good, it's only 5 points."
"Just remember, never use points when you can use gold."
"Points should be used on important things."
Lin Mo Yu humbly accepted.
He should go to the Exchange Market sometime and sell the materials and weapons he recently obtained.
At least he could get some gold.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo Yu's hand produced a gem.
