"Who is this?" Qian Er asked, looking at the gaunt man standing next to his Third Senior Brother.
"Oh, I almost forgot to introduce you. This is our teacher's second student, named Gu Yue, a senior at our school. His signature pet is the Myriad Transformation Demon, just like our teacher. He's an elite-level pet master. You can call him Gu Lao Er."
Third Senior Brother finally seemed to react, smiling as he introduced the person next to him to Qian Er.
"Second Senior Brother."
Qian Er nodded slightly to Gu Yue, and the Second Senior Brother returned the gesture.
"Alright, alright, let's skip the formalities. Lao Yao, do you have any inside information?"
Interrupting their small talk, Third Senior Brother leaned in, asking with great interest.
"This, well…"
Looking into Third Senior Brother's eyes, Qian Er stroked his chin and played coy, drawing out the last syllable, which made Third Senior Brother's heart itch.
"Haha, can't say."
But after teasing him enough, Qian Er simply said he couldn't say and then refused to speak any further, leaving Third Senior Brother feeling uneasy.
"Lao Yao, where are you going?"
Second Senior Brother Gu Yue asked Qian Er kindly.
He was much more reserved than Third Senior Brother, which suggested that not all flesh-and-blood types were like Third Senior Brother.
"Going to the Resource Exchange Hall."
Hearing this, both of them revealed knowing expressions, clearly guessing Qian Er's purpose.
"Alright, go ahead. We're going to the Number Three Combat Arena to spar a bit."
Third Senior Brother said eagerly. After advancing to an elite-level pet master, he had been waiting for this day. Now that school had just started, he couldn't help but want to challenge Gu Lao Er.
He might as well become Wang Lao Er!
Nodding, Qian Er bid farewell to the two and walked into the Resource Exchange Hall.
"Oh, Junior Brother, you're here."
The Resource Exchange Hall was as crowded as ever. At the counter, Senior Sister Chen, who was boredly helping the incoming students exchange resources, saw Qian Er at first glance. Instantly, her whole body perked up, her previously hunched back straightened, and her bored expression was immediately replaced with a smile.
The students queuing around were initially wondering who the woman had seen to change her so drastically, but after following her gaze and realizing that it was Qian Er walking over, they immediately revealed understanding expressions.
Qian Er, ah, that explains it, that explains it.
"Yes, Senior Sister, please help me exchange all these things for resources that I can use."
Qian Er nodded, openly cutting in front of the line and walking to the side, enjoying the privileged service.
And no one objected to this, after all, his fists were big enough, they just couldn't beat him. If they could beat him, they would have already done it.
Taking the spatial backpack from Qian Er's hand, which was full of valuable materials from the Myriad Races, the reward for the wanted Myriad Races prodigies wasn't given to her, she had to go to the Pet Authority for that, the academy couldn't come up with that many resources.
"Okay, I'll help you count them."
Senior Sister also understood Qian Er's purpose, handing over the work at the front desk to another student council member and personally leading Qian Er to the back.
But even though she was mentally prepared, after opening the spatial backpack, she was still shocked by the glittering treasures inside.
"Evil Flame's Fire Seed, Azure Wind Beast's fur, Muscle Earth Rat's super-strong fascia… hiss… Junior Brother, if you exchange these things for money, the academy can come up with it, but if you exchange them for resources that you can use, the academy's inventory isn't enough. It'll take some time to exchange them outside."
Looking at the mountain of materials, Senior Sister sighed. This kind of thing really had a sense of reality after seeing it with her own eyes.
"Then take some time to exchange them. How many resources that I can use can the academy come up with now?"
Qian Er nodded, not surprised at all.
"Because there's also the reason for the daily resource distribution for students, so we can't give you all the dark-type resources, we need to keep some. So, the resources that can be allocated to you now are 110 portions of flesh and blood essence, 79 portions of unyielding bones, and 45 portions of Sacred Heart Lotus."
After consulting with her superiors on her phone, Senior Sister gave an accurate answer.
To be honest, this number was quite unexpected for Qian Er, but it was also within reason, after all, the school's annual budget was always tight, that was normal.
"Alright, give me all of these. I'll leave the rest here, and you can notify me when you've gathered enough to come and get them."
Not at all worried that the student council would embezzle his materials, after all, Qian Er's strength was there for all to see.
"Okay, but it should be soon. During that battle in the secret realm, the dean and the others fought outside the secret realm, and they gained a lot of harvest. All the corpses of those alien races have been transported back to be processed, and the number of these dark-type resources should be quite large in the future."
Saying this casually, Senior Sister suppressed the excitement in her heart and quickly went to call the teacher over.
With so many resources, even if Qian Er trusted her and entrusted her with full responsibility, she wouldn't dare to take over. People should have self-awareness. If something went wrong with these things, even if she was sold, she wouldn't be able to pay it back. At that time, would she still be thinking about taking it a step further? Selling herself to pay off the debt wouldn't be enough.
After saying goodbye to the teacher and Senior Sister, Qian Er returned to his new home with the spatial backpack loaded with various resources.
That's right, overnight, with the help of the teachers from the Civil Engineering Department, all the villas had been renovated, and the cat-maid wasn't injured, just a little frightened, and was still in a state of shock, bristling at any movement.
After returning home, Qian Er immediately locked himself in the training room and had the Blood Burning Saint cover himself with a blood membrane, while he accessed the dual portal in his mind and entered the apocalyptic world.
"Whoa, kid, you can really eat, huh?"
Opening his eyes again, the world in front of Qian Er had changed from a blood-red scene to the clear sky of the apocalyptic world.
It was still the same location he had left last time, but the difference was that those neatly arranged giant trees had all disappeared, all absorbed by the Dream Illusion Grass.
"Hehe."
Dream Illusion Grass didn't know what to say, just smiled foolishly.
"Alright, come over and divide the spoils."
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he piled the flesh and blood essence and other resources he had just exchanged in the bag together like trash, and what Qian Er was about to take out next was the big stuff.
A skull tree densely covered with branches and twigs, with a strange bull's head appearing on top of the canopy, was taken out of the spatial backpack and placed on the ground.
A bead entangled with vengeful souls, which dyed the surroundings black as soon as it was taken out, was held in Qian Er's hand.
The moment these two things came out, Little Ice Dragon, the Human Emperor Flag, and Dream Illusion Grass's eyes were all fixed on them.
ps: I don't know why, but my Sogou input method can't type 'd', it comes out as 'dui', 'dou' and other words. I'm using a computer to type now, and it's much better.
