60: Chapter 60: It’s Just Two Big Bags; How Big Can They Be?
At the same time, in the principal’s office.
Jiang Wenfu was casually chatting with Qin Wanfeng, while waiting for Xiao Zhan and another to come out.
Just then, Jiang Wenfu suddenly received a message from the guards.
“Principal, Xiao Zhan is coming out carrying two large bags of Spirit Fruits!!”
“It’s just two bags of Spirit Fruits, what’s the big fuss?
You don’t even look like a guard,” Jiang Wenfu chided.
“No, Principal, it’s two large bags, two large bags!!” The guard was a bit anxious, worried about not being clear enough, “Principal, look at the surveillance, you’ll understand once you see it.”
“Alright, alright, I know, it’s just two large bags, how big can they be…
Jiang Wenfu said as he turned on the surveillance monitor.
To his shock, he was left speechless!
The image he pulled up showed Xiao Zhan strolling leisurely out from the Secret Realm.
With the Death Demon Scythe acting as a carrying pole, hanging two snake skin bags.
Small at the front, large at the back, the Spirit Fruits packed to the brim!
Exaggerated to the extreme!
He looked just like a porter in the mountains!
And Xiao Zhan, by far, was even more exaggerated.
This explosive scene, even by the standards of all these mountain porters, was also tremendously shocking, it blew Jiang Wenfu’s jaw to the ground.
“How did this guy find so many Spirit Fruits!”
Jiang Wenfu’s eyes were wider than bell clappers, filled with disbelief!
Usually, freshmen who participated in the big competition and entered the Secret Realm would, at most, come out with a dozen or so Spirit Fruits after eating some and carrying some.
Those older students who had been in multiple times and were a bit more familiar with the Secret Realm wouldn’t get more than thirty or forty in one trip.
After all, although the Secret Realm wasn’t dangerous, it required exploration, and many paths led to dead ends, wasting precious time.
But Xiao Zhan, on his first trip in, had actually brought out two large snake skin bags!
Two large snake skin bags!
And each one was bulging at that, at a rough glance, there must be at least four or five hundred in total!
The entire Secret Realm’s Spirit Fruits added up were only about a thousand or so!
Did this guy just swipe half of them?
Jiang Wenfu felt like his brain had short-circuited?!
Suddenly, he remembered what Xiao Zhan had told him before entering the Secret Realm.
He hadn’t paid much attention at the time, but now that he thought about it carefully, he felt that Xiao Zhan’s gaze had been a bit odd when he looked at him.
“This guy, he must have come prepared!” Jiang Wenfu slapped the desk with annoyance, regretting not to have slapped himself twice.
He blamed himself for being too cocky, and now he was slapped in the face!
If he had known, he would have limited the amount.
Qin Wanfeng, standing beside him, understood what happened as soon as he saw the scene on the monitor, his lips couldn’t help but curl up with amusement, yet he consoled, “Principal, don’t be upset just yet, it’s not necessarily Spirit Fruits in that bag, maybe it’s something worthless?”
“Are there worthless things in the Secret Realm?
Are you out of your mind?
With Xiao Zhan’s character, you don’t even have to guess, it’s definitely all Spirit Fruits inside!” Jiang Wenfu couldn’t help roaring.
Qin Wanfeng’s attempt to console had somehow managed to detonate Jiang Wenfu’s emotions even more!
These Spirit Fruits were the capital for cultivating the aces at his White Emperor Institute, yet half of them had been whisked away by Xiao Zhan just like that!
How was he supposed to cultivate his aces now?
“Director, as a man living between heaven and earth, how could one be so downcast over a few Spirit Fruits?” Qin Wanfeng continued to offer consolation.
But this consolation sounded more like schadenfreude.
Jiang Wenfu knew this guy liked to watch the fun and didn’t mind stirring things up; he was quite blunt in reply, “Cut the crap there.
You wouldn’t be so nonchalant if it was the Special Service Bureau’s Spirit Fruits that got taken!”
“You’re wrong to say that, Director.”
“How am I wrong?” Jiang Wenfu glared, his aura showing no sign of retreat.
At this standoff, Qin Wanfeng just chuckled and spread his hands open, “Well, I’m currently sitting, not standing…”
He really was bloody sitting!
No wonder his back didn’t ache.
Jiang Wenfu was speechless.
This guy was mocking him, totally not seeing him as the senior brother!
He was about to give him a piece of his mind.
At that moment, Qin Wanfeng straightened his face and said, “This guy, carrying big and small bundles, acting like he’s restocking a store.”
“But he’s a bit too rough, using an Artifact Spirit as a carrying pole; only Xiao Zhan would think of that.
Doesn’t he know that’s his wife?
He could be more compassionate.”
“Director, don’t be too vexed.
Our ace plan is all about ‘stacking’ anyway.
Who else would we give those Spirit Fruits to?
It’s quite a feat if he can eat them all!
And if he becomes more powerful, you get to bask in the reflected glory, don’t you?”
Hearing this, Jiang Wenfu stepped down gracefully.
He wasn’t really angry to begin with; it was just Qin Wanfeng stirring the pot on purpose!
He then sat down and said, “What’s done is done; I’m not that petty.
But since he took so many of my Spirit Fruits, I have to warn you, don’t you work him to death.
Otherwise, I’ll seek compensation from your Special Service Bureau!” The rightful source is novel★fire.net
“It’s compensation for the person, not for the Spirit Fruits!” He added.
Qin Wanfeng was quite confident, “This kid is more savvy than I thought.
Sending him this time, I have great confidence!”
“Hmph, you’d better be!”
But Qin Wanfeng was puzzled, “Come to think of it, the brilliance and strength this kid has shown don’t match an F-level talent at all.
How come the information was registered as F-level?”
Jiang Wenfu was puzzled about this too, but it wasn’t a big deal for him.
This world relies on strength, not talent.
Even if Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong were both F-level, as long as they have the strength, they can enter the Secret Realm whenever they want!”
Qin Wanfeng pursed his lips, then stood up from his seat.
“Alright, time to leave.
Senior brother, hope we’ll meet again someday.”
Hearing this, Jiang Wenfu’s expression stiffened momentarily.
Sorrow crept into his eyes, and looking out the window, he reflected, “The last time we met was what, ten years ago?”
Qin Wanfeng’s memory also drifted to ten years ago, and he sighed, “Yeah, can’t believe it’s been ten years since we last saw each other.”
The atmosphere turned somewhat melancholic.
Jiang Wenfu then smiled and punched him on the shoulder, “Come on, brotherhood is in the heart!
Don’t be so gloomy, acting like a woman!”
Brotherhood is in the heart!” Qin Wanfeng laughed too.
The hearty laughter dissolved much of the somber mood.
And don’t forget what you promised me, make sure Xiao Zhan comes back alive!”
Qin Wanfeng nodded firmly and took one last look at Jiang Wenfu before leaving the office!
Jiang Wenfu watched him go, his gaze once again clouded with sadness, as he sighed.
Ten years this time, who knows how long it’ll be until the next.
