Chapter 339

"Mister Negri, we have a good opportunity" Comet happily said as he knocked on Negri's door.

"Yesterday, the Mobis Institute was attacked, a few of its buildings were destroyed, so we need to pay for some repairs. The Mobis Institute has agreed to give us a few auditing student slots" Comet excitedly explained. Those were slots for the institute, even if they were just auditing students.

In this world, the best chance to become an upper-class person was to become a scholar. The phrase 'knowledge is wealth' was a well-known saying in this world. Coupled with the connections of the students in the academy, every spot in the academy was extremely precious.

Under normal circumstances, the minimum requirement to be admitted was to be an Upper of at least five generations, as well as an exorbitant tuition fee, as well as passing the institute's test.

Even if the institute heavily sponsored them, the most they could do was lower the standard to three generations. For a Sediments like Comet, they would have to wait until they were at least his great-grandchildren before they could be admitted into the institute. Because even if he obtained the status of an Upper, he wouldn't be recognized as an Upper, he would have to wait until his son had been properly educated before he could be considered a first-generation Upper.

And now, there was such an opportunity. Sponsoring the repair fees and obtaining a position as an auditing student was an obvious way to gain something without risking anything. Combined with the fact that the Mobis Institute had just been attacked, this single slot still attracted the attention of countless people.

Those who lived in an egalitarian society found it hard to imagine the importance of status in this world, as it represented a kind of innate success. Sediments were the descendants of losers and losers, they were born with no value at all, so much so that they couldn't even be considered real people. Living in this world, even if they had power and influence, they would still be discriminated against.

This discrimination wasn't limited to just one or two people, but rather the entire society.

The Sediments who lived in such an environment also believed themselves to be Garbage, so they would feel a deep sense of inferiority whenever they faced the Upper. At the same time, as soon as they left their identity as Sediments, they would crazily imitate the Upper, paying even more attention to their etiquette than the Upper.

"What a sick society." Negri understood very well how sick this society was. The majority of Sediments were actually much stronger than the so-called Upper, but due to factors like education and resources, the majority of them could only become true Garbage.

"Every person is a treasure, every person who has managed to display the potential of their soul is a polished gem. You were able to break through your limits and emerge from the quagmire of the Sediments, so you have already polished your own radiance, but you are currently being covered in dust" Negri looked at Comet, the former leader of the mafia, and spoke slowly. This society's sick mindset was turning Comet into a clown.

"Looks like you need a little help and motivation." Negri said as he stood up. This caused Comet's body to tremble. During this period of interaction, Negri had easily used psychological techniques to implant fear in Comet's heart.

"Mr. Negri, what are you doing!" Comet's voice was filled with fear. However, he didn't have the slightest bit of ruthlessness and dominance he had in the past. He was like a rabbit waiting to be slaughtered, only able to howl in fear.

"Although you have the effect of hinting, look at you now. You have become a real piece of trash." Negri's eyes flashed with disappointment. A syringe-like tube was inserted into Comet's neck, slowly injecting the black liquid inside.

"It's called Nightmare, something I made recently. I hope you'll like it." Negri spoke softly, but his voice slowly became louder and louder in Comet's ears. Everything in front of his eyes became blurry. Nightmare was transmitted from his carotid artery to his entire body, then through the connection between the two bodies, it stimulated a certain part of Comet's brain to secrete hormones.

The unconscious Comet slowly began to dream, a very frightening dream.

"Jimmy, Pillow." Hearing Negri's call, the two hurriedly ran up to Negri. They were now free from their previous poverty, able to eat, drink, dress and sleep well. Naturally, everything they had was given to them by Negri, so they didn't dare to hesitate in the slightest to follow Negri's orders.

As soon as they entered, they saw Comet lying on the ground, his body twitching in fear. They were at a loss as to what to do.

"I'll give you a mission. The Mobis Institute currently has several auditing student slots. I'll hand over the funds from the Whiteheart Mining Company and the Dirt-Stained Moss Food Company to you. I don't care what methods you use, get me a slot."

"Otherwise, those who are useless will have no value to their existence." Negri glanced at Comet on the ground, then said with a gentle smile: "For example, Mr. Comet."

"Understood, Mr. Negri." The two brothers trembled as they hurriedly replied.

Things progressed faster than expected. The auditing student slot soon belonged to Negri. Under Negri's whip, the two brothers displayed their own initiative.

First, they found out which families were vying for the positions of auditing students. Then, after eliminating a few people who were not competitive enough, they took action. The others were attacked at the same time. Venom was splashed on their faces, objects fell from a high altitude, and some of the other competitors were disfigured or crippled.

The price Jimmy Pilo paid was nothing more than a full meal, hiring a few Sediments who didn't care about their lives, as well as bribing the person in charge of the auditing student recruitment at a high price. Reality proved just how much an Upper's grace was worth.

Under the influence of that money, the person in charge turned a blind eye to Jimmy Pilo's unruly behavior and gave them a slot.

Naturally, the retaliation of the other competitors was also a price they had to pay, but compared to that, Jimmy and Pilo were more afraid of disappointing Negri.

At this time, there was still one day until the House of Mages' Mana Banquet, and about one month until the Day of Offering Gods. After all, the ripening of the Fruit involved too many things, so there were bound to be fluctuations.

Seeing Jimmy and Pilo's joyful expressions from completing their mission, Negri shook his head. The two of them were quite capable, but due to their limited knowledge, there were still some issues with their methods.

If not for the Mobis Institute's abnormalities, as well as the fact that the auditing student recruitment wasn't normal, the two of them wouldn't have succeeded with their little tricks.

Regardless of what happened, the slot was secured. After paying the sponsorship fee, Negri became an auditing student of the Mobis Institute, while Mr. Comet was currently unconscious and having nightmares for an entire day. His veins were now visible under his skin, turning pitch-black.
