Other than Lu Daoxing, everyone perked up their ears, their eyes shining with light.
Like starving wolves staring at a chunk of fat, they all stared at Qin Siyang.
Qin Siyang looked at Chang Tianxiang, "Professor Chang, I've managed to get a batch of Wind-Corroded Venom Meteorite. I remember you needed this, right?"
Joy lit up in Chang Tianxiang's eyes, "That's right! To research gods and sequences, I need Wind-Corroded Venom Meteorite as the medium."
The other professors, meanwhile, glanced over in envy, like resentful women. The light in their eyes vanished in an instant.
Qin Siyang took out a storage box and handed it to Chang Tianxiang.
"Professor Chang, inside here is about twenty kilograms of Wind-Corroded Venom Meteorite. Will this be enough for you?"
"It's plenty! Honestly, I don't even need this much. It's too extravagant. Wind-Corroded Venom Meteorite is a precious material. You should keep some for yoursel."
"I've already kept a portion for my own use. Professor Chang, you should accept this. I know you usually won't ask me for materials, so if you've spoken up, it must mean you need a good amount."
Chang Tianxiang nodded slowly, his eyes full of appreciation, "Then I must thank Student Qin here! I'll continue my research with effort, and if I discover any way to help you improve your efficiency in hunting gods, I'll give you an answer as soon as possible."
"Many thanks, Professor Chang!"
"It's what I should do."
Lu Daoxing looked at Qin Siyang, "Little Qin, do you still have more Wind-Corroded Venom Meteorite? Give me a hundred jin… no, a hundred kilograms, okay?"
Qin Siyang frowned, looking at Lu Daoxing in puzzlement, "Professor Lu, what do you want Wind-Corroded Venom Meteorite for? You never told me you were lacking this. And besides, a hundred kilograms, that's way too much."
Wu Yu snorted, "Old Lu is just greedy for treasure. He wants a piece of anything good he sees. Old Lu, Wind-Corroded Venom Meteorite can't even be applied to god-hunting tools, what do you want it for?"
"You can't put it that way," Lu Daoxing said solemnly, "In scientific research, the most important thing is to plan ahead."
"It's only true that for the god-hunting tools we have right now, Wind-Corroded Venom Meteorite isn't useful. But what if in the future I develop a tool that can use it? Who can say for sure!"
Wu Yu replied calmly, "Then wait until it's useful, and ask Little Qin or Professor Chang for some at that time. Grabbing too much all at once will only choke you."
"You, Old Wu…"
Hao Liang, seeing Lu Daoxing trying to play clever while his own request for a multi-headed weasel was nowhere in sight, also grew angry.
"Old Lu, don't overdo it. Watch out you don't end up like a dog that tries to guard eight piles of shit and can't watch any of them!"
"…"
Lu Daoxing's face flushed red at the remark, and he left without looking back.
Zhang Kuang, off to the side, half-closed his eyelids and muttered, "Little Qin's efficiency really is frighteningly high. In such a short time, he's already helped Old Lu and Professor Chang solve their material shortages."
Lu Daoxing also sighed, "If you ask me, those gods outside the Safe Zone, they're false. The real god is still Little Qin."
"That's right, Little Qin's speed at collecting materials is absurdly high. I think, even if we went a hundred or two hundred kilometers outside the Safe Zone, we might not have Little Qin's kind of luck."
Everyone once again showered Qin Siyang with praise.
Meanwhile, Hao Liang still pressed his palms together in prayer.
"Please let Little Qin run into a multi-headed weasel the next time he leaves the Safe Zone! I'm begging!"
Looking at Hao Liang's anxious yet devout expression, Qin Siyang had no way to respond.
Hao Liang's request was something he probably couldn't fulfill anytime soon.
Others wanted specific materials, which could still be obtained through trade.
But what Hao Liang wanted was an entire god, highly unlikely to be something traded, it had to be hunted personally.
The multi-headed weasel he needed was an extremely rare, lightning-fast small god that lived near a large god known as the Nightmare Lantern Tree.
To hunt a multi-headed weasel, one had to first find a Nightmare Lantern Tree.
And searching for a Nightmare Lantern Tree, a giant god, meant Qin Siyang's chances of encountering danger would multiply several times over.
There weren't any rare materials like Crimson Crystals in the Nightmare Lantern Tree anyway, so to risk an adventure for a Multi-headed Weasel really wasn't worth it.
But Qin Siyang was too embarrassed to say that. What if he got lucky and happened to pick up a Multi-headed Weasel?
Amidst a chorus of praise, Qin Siyang left the [Miracle Building] and returned to his own guesthouse.
He looked at the calendar on his phone.
Tomorrow was June 2nd.
In less than a week, it would be time for the college entrance exams.
Qin Siyang prepared to make a call, to check in on Wen Shu.
It was already after school hours, so Wen Shu should be home.
He dialed Wen Shu's number.
"Hello, Wen Shu, it's me, Qin Siyang."
Wen Shu's gentle voice came through the receiver, ["Mm, I know. You're calling me, what's the matter?"]
"Uh… isn't the college entrance exam coming up soon? I just wanted to see how your preparations are going."
["My preparations are pretty solid. I feel like I should more or less be able to get into Jiulong Academy."]
"How's your state of mind?"
["Not bad. The college entrance exam is just a slightly more serious mock exam, nothing really different."]
"That's right, you're exactly correct. The entrance exam is just an ordinary mock exam. Just perform normally and it'll be fine! Are classes still going on at school?"
["Yes, classes are still normal. But most classmates are signing each other's uniforms, busy with graduation and farewell matters. Some students have already left school early to go work in factories."]
"That's understandable. Aside from you, no one in our grade seems confident about getting into an academy. Once high school is over, everyone has to go their own way. Those who can go work in factories already, that counts as a pretty good future."
["Mm, that's true."]
"These next few days, why don't you just rest at home? That way the noise from your classmates won't disrupt your rhythm or affect your performance."
Wen Shu laughed softly twice, ["Don't worry. It's not like you don't know me, no one can disturb me."]
Qin Siyang licked his lips and awkwardly scratched his forehead, "Right, you're right. Your strength… really no one can disturb you."
["Qin Siyang, how have you been lately?"]
"I'm doing pretty well. Right now I'm just lying in a high-end guesthouse at South Glory University, waiting for the semester to start."
["Really? Don't lie to me."]
"Uh… well… occasionally I do some other activities, just to pass the boring time."
["You need to be careful."]
"I've always been careful. If you don't believe me, once you get here you can ask around, everyone at South Glory University knows me, Qin Siyang, for being steady."
["All right, I understand. Since you say so, once I get to Zone 7, I'll ask around about your deeds."]
Qin Siyang paused slightly, "…Actually, there's nothing much, just little things, not worth mentioning."
Wen Shu laughed again, ["It's been so long since we've seen each other, I have to find out a bit about your situation. I'll ask about you."]
"When you come here, you'll definitely be busy. Better to focus on your studies. My matters aren't important…"
["I'll ask about you."]
"…"
