Chapter 60: Points Should Be Spent Wisely
Lin Moyu truly understood why points were more useful than gold coins.
Four-person dorms were the cheapest at 500 points per month.
Two-person dorms cost 1000 points per month.
Single dorms cost 2000 points per month.
As for detached houses, they required tens of thousands of points monthly.
If you didn’t have points, you could pay in gold coins.
But that would add two more zeros to the price.
A four-person dorm cost 50,000 gold coins per month, while a single dorm cost 200,000 gold coins.
This was indeed not cheap.
Lin Moyu only had a few hundred gold coins on him.
Each point could be exchanged for 100 gold coins.
But gold coins couldn’t be exchanged for points.
If caught doing so, there would be severe punishment.
Bai Yiyuan had said most things could be traded in Summer Capital University.
Exchanging gold coins for points was one of the few exceptions.
Additionally, many resources could only be purchased with points.
This made points the most important hard currency in the university.
Anywhere gold coins could be used, points definitely wouldn’t be used.
Points were to be saved whenever possible.
Through the detailed explanation, Lin Moyu learned a lot.
The person was called Jiang Tao, a student who entered Summer Capital University two years ago.
He now worked as an administrator in the residential area, managing some minor affairs while earning some points.
From his words, it was clear that points were not easy to earn.
Perhaps due to Bai Yiyuan’s influence, Jiang Tao was especially polite to Lin Moyu.
"Lin, I know you just finished the big exam and should have quite a few points."
"But I still advise you to save points when possible. There will be many places to use points later."
Lin Moyu roughly understood he should spend frugally.
But he had no gold coins and didn’t want to live with others.
"I want a single dorm."
Jiang Tao looked at Lin Moyu, "Are you sure?"
Lin Moyu nodded.
Jiang Tao sighed, "Ah, the rich really are willful. Not knowing to save now, you’ll regret it when you realize how hard it is to earn points."
He sighed as if speaking from experience.
He led Lin Moyu into the residential area, to Building 8, directly to the 2nd floor.
"Building 8 is all single dorms."
"On the 2nd floor, except for 206, 208, and 209 which are occupied, the rest are available. Take your pick."
Lin Moyu looked down the row and pointed at the nearest one, "This one."
"Room 201. Give me your ID card, I’ll register it."
ID cards could only be used by the owner. Even if lost, others couldn’t use them.
Jiang Tao took out a device, swiped the ID card, and had Lin Moyu confirm with his fingerprint.
With a beep, points were deducted.
Jiang Tao’s eyes widened as he let out a strange cry.
"How do you have so many points?"
The device displayed Lin Moyu’s point balance.
After deducting 1000 points, 133,605 points remained.
Over 130,000 points shocked Jiang Tao.
Lin Moyu said, "Rewards given."
Jiang Tao looked at Lin Moyu like he was seeing a god of wealth, "No wonder you want a single dorm, you have so many points."
"Since entering the university, I’ve only earned less than 10,000 points total, not even a fraction of yours."
"You’re really rich."
"Alright, from now on, Room 201 in Building 8 is your dorm."
"No one can enter without your permission."
"Until you move out, no one else can rent this room."
"Rest well, let me know if you need anything."
Lin Moyu nodded, then suddenly asked, "Senior, have you heard of Lin Mohan?"
Jiang Tao thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Never heard of her."
"Your name is Lin Moyu, is Lin Mohan your relative?"
"There are too many people in Summer Capital University, it’s normal not to have heard of someone. You can ask at the academic affairs office tomorrow."
Jiang Tao rattled off a lot more, then suddenly said before leaving, "Oh right, remember to buy a communication device tomorrow, otherwise it’ll be very inconvenient."
Closing the dorm door, it finally became quiet.
The single dorm wasn’t large, simply furnished but clean.
Lin Moyu sat on the bed and began meditating to recover his spirit power.
Early the next morning, someone knocked on the dorm door.
Lin Moyu opened the door, surprise and delight in his eyes.
Ning Yiyi, unseen for days, stood prettily at the door, "What’s wrong, don’t recognize me?"
Lin Moyu smiled slightly, "I do."
Ning Yiyi giggled, "Come on, I’ll take you for breakfast, then show you around Summer Capital University."
There was a university cafeteria next to the residential area. Many people were having breakfast early in the morning.
Ning Yiyi quickly grabbed a pile of food.
Quite a lot.
Ning Yiyi’s appetite was as big as ever.
When it was time to pay, Lin Moyu took out his ID card, "I’ll pay."
Ning Yiyi giggled and didn’t stop him.
With a beep, 5 points were deducted.
Ning Yiyi exclaimed in surprise, "You’re actually using points to pay? You can use gold coins here. Anywhere you can use gold coins, you definitely shouldn’t use points."
Lin Moyu said softly, "I don’t have gold coins."
Ning Yiyi slapped her forehead, "You should have said if you don’t have gold coins. This young lady has plenty of gold coins. Don’t waste points, they’re so hard to earn."
Lin Moyu smiled, "It’s fine."
Ning Yiyi said with relief, "It’s okay, it’s only 5 points."
"Anyway, remember, anywhere you can use gold coins in the future, never use points."
"Points should be spent wisely."
Lin Moyu humbly accepted the advice.
He thought about going to the exchange later to sell the materials and weapons he had recently obtained.
At least he could exchange them for some gold coins.
Thinking of this, a gem appeared in Lin Moyu’s palm.
