Chapter 168: Taking Advantage of Power to Take Revenge
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The moment he saw the list of breakthrough materials, Wang Xiao indeed had the urge to cancel the contract. After all, even if he was a resourceful person now, it was impossible for him to casually take out more than 200 million star coins.
...However, in order to sign the contract with the Blazing Golden Crow, Wang Xiao had already given up on the Bright Moon Merman. Moreover, the nest of the fire-elemental mutated beast also needed the Blazing Golden Crow to maintain. Therefore, he finally gave up on this idea.
“The [purple gold mineral] costs 1,000 units. Our inventory is enough. It’s also easier to obtain the [Black Iron Ore] and [Mithril Ore]. We can get them if we get Ma Yunle to spend some money.”
Zhou Xiruo looked at the interface and analyzed, “As for the [Fire Spirit Grass] and [High-level Energy Core], although they’re a little expensive, it’s not unacceptable. It’s just that these two are more difficult…”
As she spoke, Zhou Xiruo pointed at the [Black Gold Ore] and the [Breakthrough Stone]. “These two are rare high-level strategic resources. You can’t buy them even if you have money. We can only slowly collect them ourselves.
“Sigh… This is difficult!”
Wang Xiao grabbed his hair and sighed. “We can still collect the [Black Gold Ore]. At most, we’ll supply the Lord’s Shop with one less batch. However, there’s really nothing we can do about the [Breakthrough Stone]. The drop rate of this thing in the secret realm is too low!”
Zhou Xiruo also looked troubled when she heard this. A moment later, her eyes suddenly lit up as she thought of something. “Why don’t… we find Commander Chen to think of a way?”
The newer secret realm, the higher the drop rate of the [Breakthrough Stone]. The military was in charge of exploring the new secret realm, so their probability of obtaining the [Breakthrough Stone] was almost the highest among all the lords of the Blue Planet.
However, Wang Xiao revealed a hesitant expression. Although he had always planned to ask for more benefits from Chen Jinrong, the time was not ripe yet. It was really not worth it to ask for a few Breakthrough Stones.
“Let’s collect it ourselves first.”
After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Xiao still chose to refuse. “If there’s really no other way, let Ma Yunle buy it at a high price. Commander Chen’s favor can’t be used so easily.”
Seeing that Wang Xiao had already made up his mind, Zhou Xiruo nodded and did not say anything.
Then, the two of them left the territory and returned to the secret realm. After mining the remaining copper mine, they crushed the key and left the secret realm.
Walking out of the building where the teleportation door was stored, Wang
Xiao took out his communicator and was about to contact Ma Yunle when Zhou
Xiruo suddenly patted him. “Wang Xiao, do you think that person is Adjutant
Wang Xiao looked in the direction Zhou Xiruo was pointing and saw Qi Lianjun standing expressionlessly under the shade of the tree at the edge of the field. His military uniform looked especially eye-catching in the academy.
“Why is he here?”
Wang Xiao was stunned. Then, he recalled that Xu Junrou had previously said that Chen Jinrong would come to the Yuheng Academy today. As the commander-in-chief’s adjutant, Qi Lianjun would naturally accompany him. However, there was no sign of Chen Jinrong now. Only Qi Lianjun stood there alone. It was more or less strange.
Just as Wang Xiao was wondering if he should go and greet them, Qi Lianjun also saw them. Then, he waved his hand and gestured for them to go over.
Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo looked at each other and walked over.
Because he had previously promised Xu Junrou to keep it a secret, Wang Xiao pretended to be surprised and asked, “Adjutant Qi? Why are you here? Are your injuries alright?”
“It’s fine now.”
Qi Lianjun smiled, but his smile was still awkward. “I came with the commander today. It’s not convenient for me to reveal the exact situation. Now that the commander has gone back, I found an excuse to stay because I have something to tell you.”
“You have something to say to me?”
Wang Xiao was stunned when he heard this. He thought for a moment and probed, “Does Commander Chen know that you’re here to look for me?”
Qi Lianjun shook his head and said seriously, “I want to tell you that victory and defeat are common in war. When participating in the academy’s ranking assessment, don’t take it to heart.”
Hearing this, the confusion on Wang Xiao’s face deepened.
Before he could ask further, Qi Lianjun continued, “I shouldn’t have told you this originally, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt that this matter was too cruel to you, so I decided to remind you. That’s all.”
With that said, Qi Lianjun turned around and left, leaving Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo looking at each other.
After a few minutes, Wang Xiao returned to his senses and looked at Zhou
Xiruo. “Do you understand what Adjutant Qi just said?”
Zhou Xiruo nodded, then shook her head. “I can understand what he means. It’s probably something like ‘don’t be anxious for quick success’, but I don’t understand why he said this.”
Wang Xiao shrugged and expressed that he did not understand either. He turned to look in the direction Qi Lianjun had left. Although he felt that it was a little strange, he did not continue to investigate.
After contacting Ma Yunle and reporting the materials needed for the breakthrough of the Blazing Golden Crow to him, it was already evening.
After Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo parted ways, they immediately rushed home. They took out a pen and paper and began to complete the “homework” Tian Gang had assigned to them.
In the beginning, Wang Xiao felt that the battle comprehension of 10,000 words was especially difficult to write. Later on, he realized that his feeling was indeed right.
Although Wang Xiao had comprehended a lot today, he only had a few words to summarize. After thinking for a long time, he only managed to gather about 3,000 words.
Helpless, Wang Xiao analyzed today’s “flag seizing battle” from beginning to end. In the end, he finally managed to gather 10,000 words.
Looking at the time, he realized that it was already midnight. Wang Xiao originally planned to go to the territory to take a look, but when he recalled the lesson he got from being late today, he still decided to quickly sleep.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Wang Xiao woke up early and headed to Yuheng Academy with the 10,000 words battle comprehension. Just as he reached the door, he met Tian Gang, who had come to work.
“Teacher Tian!”
Wang Xiao greeted him. “This is the 10,000 words battle comprehension you asked me to write yesterday. Do you want to take a look?”
“Oh? You really wrote it?”
Tian Gang looked at Wang Xiao in surprise. He took the thick stack of paper and casually threw it into the trash can without even looking.
Seeing this, Wang Xiao’s expression darkened. “Teacher Tian, what do you mean( Didn’t you ask me to write this!”
“I asked you to write it.”
Tian Gang nodded in acknowledgment and casually replied, “But I didn’t say that I wanted to see it, right?”
“You!”
Wang Xiao was immediately furious. Just as he was about to flare up, he suddenly thought of something. He looked at Tian Gang and sneered. “Teacher Tian, is this your way of taking revenge on me? Isn’t it a little too childish?”
“It’s quite childish.”
Tian Gang smiled gloatingly. “I’m very satisfied with your reaction just now, so after today’s training ends, you have to write another 10,000 words of battle comprehension… Oh no! You contradicted me just now, so you have to write 20,000 words today.”
Wang Xiao’s expression darkened. “You’re using your position to take revenge!”
Tian Gang smiled at Wang Xiao. “So what if I am?
…Alright! Let’s see who can outlast the other!”
Wang Xiao snorted and turned to leave.
Tian Gang sneered and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and picked up the battle comprehension from the trash can..
