Chapter 196: Chapter 103: Frenzied Plundering! 100 Million Huaxia Coins

It was as loud as a marketplace.

When Lin Yi appeared near Ring No. 1, the sight that greeted him made him raise an eyebrow.

The ring was already surrounded by a dense, jostling crowd, packed so tightly it was impossible to get through.

’It looked like more than half the new students in the training camp had gathered here!’

The air was thick with a mixture of anxiety, excitement, and greed.

"Lin Yi’s here!"

"It’s Forest God! Forest God is finally here!"

"Forest God! I have the money ready! Sell to me first! I want to buy points!"

"Forest God, look at me! I have the most money! Sell to me! Sell to me!"

Like a school of sharks smelling blood, Lin Yi’s appearance instantly ignited the crowd’s frenzy.

The crowd erupted into a commotion. Countless gazes shot toward him as the students shouted excitedly, desperately shoving their way forward as if a single step’s delay would mean missing the opportunity of a lifetime.

Seeing Lin Yi arrive as promised, many people showed looks of immense relief, the weight on their minds finally lifted—

’Forest God hadn’t backed out. The sale was still on!’

Lin Yi’s brow furrowed slightly, displeased by the chaotic scene before him.

He pushed off from the ground, his body soaring like a hawk, and landed lightly in the center of the ring to look down on the crowd.

He took a deep breath, and his voice boomed like muffled thunder in everyone’s ears:

"All of you, be quiet! Stop pushing! Everyone, line up immediately! Form an orderly queue! Anyone who doesn’t get in line—"

"Will get nothing!"

No queue, no sale!

These four simple words were more effective than any reprimand.

It was as if someone had hit a pause button. The chaotic scene fell silent in an instant.

An instant later, the crowd erupted into an even greater commotion, but this time it was to scramble for the best spots!

Pushing, shouting, and even minor scuffles broke out instantly as everyone tried to squeeze to the very front of the line.

「A few seconds later.」

A crooked but somewhat orderly line quickly formed in front of the ring.

At the very front of the line, a student in an expensive-looking combat uniform, his face flushed with excitement, practically lunged at the edge of the ring. He looked up at Lin Yi, his voice cracking with eagerness:

"Forest God! Me! I want to buy one thousand points! Cash or transfer? I can pay right now!"

"One thousand points?!"

Those words were like throwing a bucket of cold water on a grease fire!

"There are only a little over two thousand points in total! You want to buy one thousand all by yourself? If you buy a thousand and someone else buys another thousand, what are the rest of us in the back supposed to get? Nothing?"

"No way! Absolutely not! There has to be a purchase limit!"

"That’s right! A limit! Forest God, you have to set a limit! Otherwise, the first few people will buy up everything!"

"A purchase limit! A purchase limit! A purchase limit!"

The students farther back in the line immediately erupted. The crowd was furious, and their roars were deafening.

The expressions of the students near the front of the line changed. As much as they wanted to buy more, they were afraid of becoming a public target.

The students in the second and third spots quickly shouted, "A limit of 200 points per person!"

That way, the top ten of them could all get a share.

But when the students farther back heard this, their faces turned pale with anger.

"200 is way too many! There are still hundreds of people back here! The limit should be 100 per person!"

"Even at 100, it won’t be my turn! 50 per person!"

"Even 50 is risky! Limit it to 20 per person! That’s fair!"

The shouts rose and fell in waves.

Each person, depending on their position in the queue, desperately shouted out the purchase limit most advantageous to them, trying to ensure they’d get a chance to buy.

Watching the crowd below descend into arguments once more, Lin Yi’s eyes went cold. He slammed the butt of his Owl Dragon Spear heavily onto the alloy ring!

THUD!

The deep, resonant bang, tinged with the clang of metal, instantly drowned out all the noise.

A sharp, imposing aura radiated from him.

It made the students in the front row subconsciously take a step back.

"Shut up, all of you!"

Lin Yi’s voice carried an unquestionable authority. "Students in the C-rank classes start with a maximum of 10 free points! Even if you wanted to bet more, the system wouldn’t allow it! Therefore—"

"—the purchase limit will be 10 points per person! First come, first served. You get them when it’s your turn in line!"

A limit of 10 points per person!

This meant that only the first two hundred people in line would be eligible to buy!

"Nooo!"

A wave of wailing instantly erupted from the middle and back of the line.

"What?! Only two hundred spots? And I’m number two hundred and one?!"

"Oh god! So close! If I’d known, I wouldn’t have gone back. I would’ve just waited here!"

"It’s over, it’s all over. I queued up for nothing!"

"Let’s just go! It’s hopeless!"

A sense of despair spread through the latter half of the line.

Many sighed, their faces filled with frustration and resentment.

But they knew the rule had been set and they were powerless to change it.

The crucial point was, they couldn’t beat Lin Yi, so they were powerless to resist.

They could only mutter curses under their breath and turn to leave, dejected, ready to go back to their dorms and sleep it off.

They held out no hope that someone would be foolish enough to buy fewer than 10 points and free up a spot for them.

Just as the crowd began to disperse in twos and threes,

Lin Yi’s sharp gaze caught a familiar figure in the crowd—

Gao Yongkang.

He was walking away with the flow of people, a look of disappointment on his face.

"Gao!" Lin Yi called out. "Over here!"

Gao Yongkang froze for a moment, then his face lit up with surprise. He quickly pushed through the crowd and ran to the edge of the ring. "Lin Yi? What’s up?"

Lin Yi looked at him and asked directly, "How many points do you want to buy? You don’t need to queue, and there’s no limit for you."

’As a friend from his hometown, it was a bit of special treatment he could afford to give.’

Gao Yongkang’s eyes widened instantly. The immense surprise made his voice tremble. "R-really? I... I can buy even though I didn’t queue up?"

"Of course," Lin Yi affirmed with a nod.

"That’s great! Lin Yi, you’re a true friend!" Gao Yongkang was so excited he almost jumped. He shouted without hesitation, "In that case, I’ll buy 100 points! I’ll transfer you the money right now!"
