Chapter 219: Academy of Joy (3)
Su Yu said, "With 500 merit points, you can read it 5 times. Like you said, you only need to read it a few times. So it should be enough for you to read 5 times, right? If you agree, both of us will gain something out of this. Who knows? Maybe you only need 3 times to master it. You can even save 200 merit points and make a profit. What do you think?"
"I can make a profit?"
Zheng Yunhui shook his head. How did the conversation take such a turn? He had to pay to read his own stuff...and he was going to make a profit doing that? What? And Su Yu sounded so convincing.
Zheng Yunhui stayed speechless for a long while before he said, "Su Yu, in that case, I'm not going to buy the text from you. I can agree to rent it, but 100 merit points is too expensive. Let me read it for 10 merit points. I'm only at the Mental Tempering Stage. It's a Mountainsea willpower text so it won't suffer much damage from me. I can even read it a dozen or so times without damaging it. What do you think?"
Su Yu looked at Zheng Yunhui in astonishment. This fellow had agreed so easily?
When Zheng Yunhui saw Su Yu's shocked expression, he smiled, "That cocky asshole Liu He tried to use me as a weapon against you. Why should I agree? I only want to read the Skybreak Technique written by a Mountainsea. I'm not here to look for trouble. If you agree to let me read it, we can talk about this. If you disagree, there is nothing I can do except forming a feud with you."
Zheng Yunhui smiled, "If you let me read it, you can even earn something from it. And you can even ruin Liu He's plan. And you might even get me as a friend. Do you agree?"
Su Yu was about to speak when Zheng Yunhui added, "My grandpa is Zheng Ping."
"..."
Su Yu had a blank expression.
Zheng Yunhui was speechless. Su Yu didn't know who Zheng Ping was?
"My grandpa is the principal of the Great Xia War Academy."
A look of realization appeared on Su Yu's face. He was quite surprised. He only knew that Xia Chan was someone from the Xia Family. After all, the Xia Family was too well-known in Great Xia.
As for the others, he had guessed that Wan Mingze was probably related to Principal Wan. As for the other students, he had not paid much attention to them. In any case, there were more than one Zheng Family in Great Xia.n.-0VelbIn
So this Zheng Ping was a principal of the Great Xia War Academy! Then that was most definitely an important individual.
Su Yu thought about it and said, "30 merit points per read. If you agree, we can work together. If not, forget it. This text won't last forever. You're insulting a Mountainsea by offering a price like 10 merit points. Also, I will set a limit. You can't read it more than 5 times. And each time, you can only read it at my place with me beside you. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to do anything if you refuse to return it."
"Sure."
Zheng Yunhui was quite a reasonable person.
When Su Yu saw that, he sank into thought before asking, "Zheng Yunhui, do you lack money?"
"What?"
"Do you lack merit points?"
Zheng Yunhui looked at Su Yu in astonishment and replied, "Who doesn't? Do you really think that people like us have endless money? No matter how strong our seniors are, they won't be able to support us without limits. The money I spent on this text is supposed to be all my funds in the Great Strength Realm. I won't get more funds before the Infinite Strength Realm."
Su Yu said, "I have a thought. I suspect that Liu Hong had intentionally dropped your stuff and arranged for me to pick it up."
Su Yu connected a lot of dots in his mind and clenched his teeth as he continued, "In fact, Liu Hong was the reason I found this text. He deliberately whispered near me about the location of this text. That was how I found it. But after that, he had his little brother tell you about it. I'm certain that this whole thing is a plot by him."
The more Su Yu spoke, the more certain he was. "He is trying to pit us against each other. Since he is from an opposing faction, it is normal for him to act against me. But you...do you trust me when I say that he intentionally dropped your stuff?"
Zheng Yunhui raised his brow. Was it all intentional?
"Is he not afraid of his reputation in the black market? Why would he do something like this?" Zheng Yunhui said in disbelief, "Reputation is important in the black market as well. Also, there was indeed a raid during the day my text was lost."
"He had definitely taken advantage of the raid to drop your text." Su Yu was sure, "Definitely."
"And what do you intend to do?"
"Plot against him as well." Su Yu clenched his teeth in anger, "Get what you lost from Liu Hong."
Zheng Yunhui's eyes lit up, "Get what I lost from him? But that's 1,000 merit points. How am I supposed to do that?"
"We'll walk and talk."
Su Yu started walking. "Didn't he send you after me? Just do what he wants. We will agree to a private match and try to lure him into betting on the match. What do you think?"
"Hmm?"
Zheng Yunhui was excited, but his excitement was short-lived. He shook his head, "There are too many variables to that plan. He might not end up putting a bet at all. And even if he does end up betting on the match, he won't do it personally. And you won't know his bet. He might not even bet too much. Sure, a researcher might enjoy gambling, but this is only a match between students. For them, this is a quarrel between children. It might not even catch Liu Hong's attention."
That was an idea Su Yu had come out with after a sudden bout of inspiration. When he heard Zheng Yunhui's words, he nodded in agreement. There were indeed too many variables.
But he really wanted to scam Liu Hong once. That fellow had been making his life difficult repeatedly. He was very unhappy about it.
Suddenly, Zheng Yunhui smiled and said, "If you really want to scam Liu Hong, I have an idea."
"What?"
"When moving against an expert like Liu Hong, you have to aim for his weakness. I know he has been keeping his eyes on your Wentan Research Center."
Zheng Yunhui beamed and said, "Su Yu, we can agree on a supposedly private match with the Skybreak Technique and some data from your research center as the wager. You can just use some fake data. We'll try to scam Liu Hong by having him buy the fake data."
Su Yu understood, "You mean I'm going to deliberately lose and let you win the fake data. You can then sell it to Liu Hong?"
"Yeah." Zheng Yunhui smiled, "Of course, Liu Hong might not fall for it. After all, you're still new so you probably still don't know anything important."
Su Yu scratched his head and muttered, "Yeah. My status is too low so he might not fall for that. With my current strength, just what secret can I learn?"
Su Yu raised his brow and asked, "What if my teacher works with me? I'll have my teacher announce that I'll be officially allowed to join the main research. With that, I'll be able to get in contact with some secret data."
"Hmm?"
Zheng Yunhui looked at Su Yu in astonishment. His teacher? Why did he speak like his teacher was going to obey him?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
