I can use my morality points to allocate stats

Two hundred-yuan bills just happened to blow right to his feet, as precise as if they had been handed to him directly.

Lin Mo looked around. There were even fewer people around than last night, and he didn't see anyone frantically searching the ground for money.

He quickly reached down and picked up the two hundred yuan, stuffing them into his pocket.

If two points of luck value could get him two hundred yuan, then three points would be three hundred, and four points would be...

Following this progression, even if he couldn't build a foundation and become a true cultivator, saving up money to become a millionaire wasn't just a dream!

In high spirits, Lin Mo immediately decided to treat himself to a big meal.

"Time for some barbecue!"

Lin Mo happily headed towards the barbecue stand.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the stand, he saw Chu Wange again.

She was still wearing her red outfit, standing in the same position as yesterday, face to face with the owner on opposite sides of the charcoal grill.

Lin Mo walked over and greeted her familiarly: "What a coincidence, you're here again?"

Chu Wange turned her head to look at him and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Meeting three times in two days was indeed quite a coincidence, to the point where Lin Mo almost thought the school beauty was deliberately "ambushing" him.

But of course, that was impossible.

Shahe Park's location was very special, situated right between Nanshan No. 4 Middle School and his neighborhood.

Plus, the school's control over third-year celestial exam students wasn't as strict as for first and second years. Many third-year students could come out for a late-night snack after evening self-study if they got a leave slip.

However, those like Chu Wange who stayed until midnight were still the minority.

Geniuses really do get special treatment... Lin Mo glanced at her standing still holding the vegetable basket and asked curiously:

"Why are you just standing there? Aren't you going to pick any food?"

Chu Wange looked at him and said, "I'm out of money."

Before Lin Mo could speak, he saw the barbecue owner across from them put his hands on his hips and say irritably:

"Listen, young lady, why do you come here every day thinking you can freeload?"

No money again?

Lin Mo looked at Chu Wange suspiciously. Surely she wasn't planning to chop wood for food again?

The barbecue owner waved his hand impatiently and said:

"Go on, get out of here! I run a small business, no credit allowed! And don't come back, we don't welcome freeloaders like you. Now scram!"

Oh, so this time she wanted to run a tab... Lin Mo thought to himself, then raised an eyebrow and said to the owner:

"Is that any way to talk? Look at the money!"

He pulled out the two hundred yuan he had just picked up and waved it in front of the owner.

Chu Wange's eyes lit up when she saw the two red bills.

The barbecue owner chuckled: "Oh, you brought two hundred today?"

I picked up two hundred... Lin Mo raised his chin: "That's right!"

The barbecue owner chuckled again: "Alright then, I won't round down the change today."

Lin Mo: "...Boss, no wonder your business isn't as good as others. You really don't know how to do business."

The barbecue owner scoffed:

"Nonsense! My business is the best within a hundred meters!"

Lin Mo looked around at the empty park at 1 AM, then turned back to him with a chuckle of his own:

"Well, I can't argue with that."

The barbecue owner didn't seem to mind his sarcasm and snorted:

"My skills are so good, even if someone set up another barbecue stand nearby, I'd run them out of business!"

Lin Mo couldn't refute this point. Otherwise, based on yesterday's experience, he wouldn't have come back for a second time today.

He was still craving it...

Lin Mo coughed twice and turned his head, only to find that Chu Wange had already started picking food items and putting them in her basket.

Her hands moved so fast that the basket was already half full.

He hurriedly joined in, quickly tossing a few skewers of his favorite grilled pork belly into the basket.

Twenty minutes later...

Lin Mo took a bite of the spicy and fragrant grilled pork belly and casually asked Chu Wange across from him:

"By the way, do you have a single spirit root or dual spirit roots?"

He remembered that last year's top celestial exam student at Nanshan No. 4 had dual metal and wood spirit roots, but had only reached the 8th level of Qi Condensation.

Chu Wange was at the 9th level of Qi Condensation, so she should at least have dual spirit roots.

Chu Wange continued eating intently as she mumbled through a mouthful: "Mmm mmm mmm..."

"What?"

Lin Mo didn't catch that and looked up at her.

He saw Chu Wange slide another skewer of beef into her mouth in one smooth motion. There were still traces of chili powder at the corners of her rosy lips, giving her a unique beauty like a girl from Sichuan or Chongqing.

After she finally managed to swallow the beef in her mouth, she said:

"Single."

Then she eagerly reached for the next skewer.

A single attribute spirit root!

Lin Mo marveled inwardly.

Single spirit root, also known as a heavenly spirit root.

Because it only had one attribute, the purity of the spirit root was usually above 80%, and cultivation speed was several times faster than those with multiple spirit roots.

Her cultivation level of Qi Condensation 9th level finally had a reasonable explanation.

If Ye Chen was the child of fortune, relying on consuming pills to raise his cultivation level.

Then Chu Wange before him was an absolute genius. Even her rumored identity as a second-generation celestial was just a pretty decoration for her.

She didn't need any cheats because she herself was the cheat code.

Ye Chen had worn the title of "child of fortune" for three years, yet he was only at Qi Condensation 6th level.

Even if he successfully broke through to Qi Condensation 7th level before the celestial exam, he would still be a full two levels below Chu Wange.

Looking at it this way, there shouldn't be much suspense about who would take the top spot at Nanshan No. 4 this year. The only question was how Chu Wange would rank in the provincial celestial exam...

As he was thinking, Lin Mo suddenly smacked his forehead as he came back to his senses.

How did he suddenly slip into a "bystander mentality" again? He had almost forgotten that he was also a "protagonist" now...

He looked at the merit value and luck value lying in his status panel and snorted inwardly:

This year's celestial exam rankings will definitely include me.

In the coming month, I'm going to work hard!

...

...

That night, Lin Mo went home and wrote in his diary.

Don't get the wrong idea, he was a proper person. The main reason for keeping a diary was to record the merit value he accumulated each day.

This way, he could reasonably plan his time and use the merit value to improve himself.

[May 8, sunny day. Current total accumulated merit value: 2210, luck value: 2 points.

I didn't look carefully yesterday, but today I took a few more glances. The school beauty's looks are truly high-level, easily scoring over 90 points in attractiveness. It seems I've finally met my match on the path of good looks.]

[One more thing, her figure is quite nice too, the Daoist robe is quite large... (entire section crossed out).]

Lin Mo looked at the notes on his phone and muttered to himself:

"This is all for the sake of cultivation, a very reasonable record..."

[May 9, sunny day. Deducted 1120 merit points today, not bad, keep up the effort.

That old man in the park came again today, I almost couldn't hold back. I should change my standing spot tomorrow.

Good news: Picked up another 200 yuan.

Bad news: The school beauty came to freeload again.

Has she gotten used to it?

The Daoist robe is quite large... Does this count as a physical transaction?

Nevermind, it's money I picked up anyway. As the saying goes: Money you pick up should be spent quickly, or else you'll have bad luck. It's definitely not because I'm craving the food...]
