“It’s at the academy…”
Liu Feng blurted out instinctively, then stopped himself.
His eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Chen Shu, who was beaming, and demanded,
“What the hell are you trying to do?”
“Uh… just a casual visit…”
“A visit?!”
Liu Feng’s voice rose by eight octaves. “Are you hatching some wicked plan again?!”
“No, I’m not.”
Chen Shu shrugged. “I’ve always admired it, and it’s a regret that I haven’t had the chance to see it with my own eyes.”
“Give me a break!”
Liu Feng glanced at him. “You, admiring it?!”
“Listen to your teacher, can we just stick to the right path?”
“I was just asking…”
Chen Shu sighed, having calmed down. “Teacher, do you know anywhere I can get a large amount of basic resources?”
For him, obtaining golden materials was rather easy. The problem was the basic resources!
Liu Feng was slightly taken aback and asked, “What do you need those for? To cultivate your fierce bandit force?”
“No, just for myself.”
“For you?”
Liu Feng’s eyes showed a hint of doubt and confusion. “Those things won’t improve you.”
“I really have an urgent need…”
Chen Shu frowned and said earnestly, “I need to use them to find the meaning of life!”
“???”
Liu Feng’s mouth agape. “Speak human language!”
Chen Shu glanced around, then lowered his voice.
“It’s related to… nuclear bombs!”
“!”
Liu Feng’s expression jolted, and he instantly became a bit more interested. “Can basic materials be used for configuration?”
“Of course.”
Chen Shu nodded. “It only takes ten thousand units of low-grade fire attribute materials to make a nuclear bomb!”
“Ten thousand units?!”
Liu Feng’s eyes widened. “That’s too wasteful!”
“Teacher, that’s a nuclear bomb!”
Chen Shu said, “Think about its value. I think it’s worth it.”
“…”
Liu Feng fell silent, thinking of the white sun rising from the sea. He was indeed a bit tempted.
It wasn’t very effective against high-level fierce beasts, but it was perfect for instantly killing low-level ones!
“Is there a possibility I can cooperate with the authorities!”
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest in his eyes.
Just then, an abrupt voice sounded:
“Cooperate on what?”
Qin Tian suddenly appeared beside them, a faint smile on his lips.
“Damn it! Principal, where did you come from?”
The two were shocked. They hadn’t detected any presence.
“The balcony.”
Qin Tian shrugged. “I feel like no decent person uses the front door anymore.”
“…”
The two were speechless, not expecting Qin Tian to have developed such a bad habit.
“What were you just talking about cooperating on?”
Qin Tian raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest in his eyes.
Liu Feng quietly explained to him.
When he heard the words ‘nuclear bomb,’ Qin Tian’s expression also jolted, and his eyes showed longing.
Clearly, Chen Shu’s heroic display of casually deploying nuclear bombs had been etched in everyone’s minds.
Qin Tian frowned and said, “Is there no quantity limit?”
Chen Shu stated with certainty:
“No, as long as I have the materials, I can keep configuring them, though it might take some time!”
An individual might not have many basic resources,
but the authorities certainly had no shortage and could fully supply Chen Shu’s configurations.
“With fifteen thousand units of low-grade materials, three units of golden materials, and one hundred million Huaxia coins in resources, I can provide one bottle to the authorities!”
“Wasn’t it just ten thousand units earlier?”
“I’m configuring it for free?”
Chen Shu pouted. “I need to be compensated for my labor, alright!”
“…”
Qin Tian stroked his chin and muttered, “The effect of that agent is indeed quite good…”
He had a keen eye. In this chaotic era, such a thing was a strategic resource, capable of instantly annihilating countless ordinary fierce beasts, even serving as a trump card.
“But it’s too expensive…”
He shook his head, contemplating the cost-effectiveness of the nuclear bomb.
Chen Shu said, “Scarcity breeds value. This is the only usable nuclear bomb in the world!”
Technological weapons like nuclear bombs were possessed by every country and force, but they dared not deploy them. Nuclear radiation would not affect fierce beasts; it would only make humans suffer the consequences themselves.
“Fifteen thousand units…”
Qin Tian’s eyes narrowed, as if he had realized something, and asked,
“I’d like to ask, how much of a kickback did you pocket, you kid?”
“…”
Chen Shu’s eyes widened instantly, and then he thumped his chest and stomped his feet.
“Principal, what kind of person do you take me for?!”
Qin Tian said blandly, “The Nanjiang Fierce Bandit.”
“…”
Chen Shu sighed and said, “You’re still the clever one. Let me tell you the truth, it only takes eight thousand units to configure one bottle!”
“Really?”
Qin Tian’s expression was strange; he still didn’t quite believe it.
“Absolutely true.”
Chen Shu nodded and said sincerely, “This is the limit!”
“I’ll go back and discuss it with the higher-ups.”
Qin Tian nodded, a flicker of interest in his eyes. However, he was only a school principal and had no decision-making power.
“Thank you, Principal, then!”
Chen Shu smiled, already fantasizing about a beautiful future life.
Qin Tian said, “By the way, in two days, Dragon Abyss City will hold a meeting regarding this escort mission. You should attend.”
“Okay, no problem!”
Chen Shu agreed, while also wondering if he should ask the old man for more rewards.
Qin Tian glanced at the two of them, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
“Teacher, I should be heading back too.”
Chen Shu stretched languidly and looked at the sky outside the window, already eager to return to Nanjiang City.
Other places just didn’t feel like home…
“Alright.”
Liu Feng nodded, not stopping him. But then, as if remembering something, he said earnestly,
“This time, I thank you on behalf of hundreds of thousands of our compatriots.”
“I have my own goals too.”
Chen Shu waved his hand and vanished from the spot with a flicker…
Nanjiang City, Anju Residential Area,
“I’m finally back, damn it…”
Chen Shu arrived at his doorstep, a sense of excitement rising within him.
Just as he reached out his hand, his expression jolted. Almost instinctively, his body shifted to the right, dodging the ‘attack’ from behind!
“Ambusher?!”
He raised an eyebrow, suddenly turning around, his right hand forming a fist, and smashing towards the figure behind him!
The opponent’s reaction was remarkably quick. They decisively pulled away, giving Chen Shu no chance to counter.
A short-haired girl was holding a urea bag, her eyes filled with joy.
“Sister Fang Si, must you resort to this?”
Chen Shu’s expression faltered, and he couldn’t help but shake his head and smile.
Fang Si’s lips curved upwards. “I need to see if my little brother has been disguised as a fierce beast.”
“Can you tell now?”
“I can! This instinct is unique to you in the entire world!”
Fang Si put away the urea bag and sighed. “This is almost like a causality skill.”
