Chapter 205: Generous Rewards! (1/2)
“First, let us welcome class 56, placing fifth in this tournament!”
When the group of students led by Zhao Ziyun heard Lei Shan’s words, they had pleasant surprise on their faces. They had never expected to receive the additional rewards, as they had placed last during the final round.
“Although your class has the lowest number of points among the top five, everyone can see that all of you have performed splendidly. Placing last is not a disgrace, as you are all still the elites of your generation.”
This was Lei Shan’s sincere acknowledgement of their strength. For Zhao Ziyun and his classmates, even if they received no other rewards, just these words were already a sufficient reward.
“As an acknowledgement to your strength, each of you will obtain a reward of five thousand Starnet Stones.”
Some were happy with this reward while some were disappointed. This wasn’t exactly a small sum of money, but it wasn’t a large sum of money either. Then again, this was a pretty good reward for a fifth-place holder, and it was much better than getting no reward.
“Next, class 147. Your class has the lowest number of students, yet you have performed exceedingly well. The indomitable spirit displayed by your class is something everything in the Starnet Academy can learn from. You will be rewarded with a one-use core of the violet grade.”
When Yan Suzi and her classmates heard that, they were all elated. Although this was a one-use consumable, it was a violet-grade item and was quite valuable. Even if they decided to not use the reward themselves, they could still sell it for a large sum of money.
After giving Yan Suzi’s class their reward, Lei Shan looked at Luo Han’s class.
“Next, the third-place holder, class 121. I have to admit that you guys have performed remarkably. The strength your class has demonstrated so far is absolutely sufficient for you to reach all the way to the top if you had appeared in any previous year instead. I hope all of you can learn from your mistakes – and to reach an even higher height.”
Then, numerous puppet cores with a violet glow flew out of Lei Shan’s palm.
“You will also be rewarded with cores, but these cores are inheritable. Although I don’t know if this is what you want, I believe these cores will definitely be helpful for all of you.”
Lei Shan’s words sent everyone into shock. The ten-plus violet cores he had rewarded were worth several dozen millions of Amethyst Coins. Everyone started looking forward to Lei Shan’s upcoming rewards. After all, if even the third place class members could get a violet core each, the rewards for the first- and second-place classes should be even better. It did not take long for everyone to have their curiosity answered.
“Class 21 students, in all honesty, you need to be thankful that you have a good class monitor. Hu Xian’er is definitely one of the top students even in the entirety of Starnet Academy. Without her, it would have been very hard for your class to get this result.”
Lei Shan was ruthlessly honest to the point Bai Kai and the others felt embarrassed when they heard his comment.
“But do not be unduly humbled. I trust all of you have obtained sufficient experience from this tournament. Study hard in the academy. I look forward to the day all of you become an elite like your class monitor.”
Then, numerous pieces of golden tickets flew towards the class 21 students.
“These are the vouchers for Ethereal Pavilion. With them, each of you can freely redeem one violet-grade puppet. You can even request a custom-made puppet.”
That stunned everyone. They had already expected the second-place reward would be great, but this had still surpassed their expectations.
Each year, the Ethereal Pavilion would put some of these vouchers out for sale. And each year, they would sell not more than five hundred of these vouchers, with the five hundred vouchers being spread among their various branches throughout the continent.
