Chapter 377 Two Unexpected Events
In just a few hours, Seanda fell from power and Yu Hong took office; the timing was incredibly coincidental.

Yu Lin and Hayden exchanged a glance, both guessing who the mastermind behind it all was, and were even more shocked by the immense influence she wielded over His Majesty the President.

Nan Rong ended the video call with Tian Li. The other party agreed to her request without hesitation and also invited her to attend the ceremony where the peace agreement was signed with the Kungu Empire.

It was called an invitation, but it was really just an exchange; they knew she couldn't refuse.

At the end of the call, the "Big Boss" casually added, "By the way, I'll send over some of the handmade dresses and jewelry I ordered last time when I pick you up."

This kind of thing doesn't seem to be something the Great Demon King should be concerned with. Nan Rong pondered for a while and felt that he was still paying too much attention to the evolution of this plane, so he wanted to perfect every detail.

If that's the case, why doesn't he just do it himself?

Since they're already in a high position, why not just turn everyone in the entire plane into obedient servants, so they can do whatever they want? Why bother with the extra trouble of keeping them in check?

Nan Rong was too lazy to think about it and decided to ask directly when they met.

Attending the peace talks ceremony, plus the receptions over the next two days, will take about ten days to travel back and forth.

As a newly hired mentor, asking for so many days off would be embarrassing for most people.

But Nan Rong didn't think there was anything wrong with it. The focus of the experimental class students' studies during this period was to consolidate the results of the gene optimization agent, while also cultivating the mental sea magic to increase their total mental power and enhance their control ability, laying a solid foundation for synthesizing the agent quickly and effectively—it didn't really matter whether she was there or not.

With that in mind, she first asked Ms. Patricia for leave, and then asked Jelly Dumpling to create a new experimental class group, where she posted relevant notices and informed everyone that she would conduct a mental strength test upon her return to assess everyone's efforts during this period.

During the period when the statistics were being compiled, Jelly Dumplings discovered a problem.

“Master,” it said, “two of the gene-enhancing agents you gave out this morning have not yet been used.”

"One of the second-stage A-level gene optimization agents was given away by a student. The other one, however, was stolen."

"Oh?" Nan Rong raised an eyebrow: "Explain in more detail, what exactly happened?"

“Well done, Thom.” The man in the hologram was unusually amiable. “I will report your loyalty to the steward truthfully and will not let you suffer any losses. I will make arrangements for you to become an outer member in the family exam the year after next.”

"Thank you, Butler Sean!" Tunken heard his own voice, excited and thrilled.

The light in his eyes quickly dimmed after the communication was disconnected.

The delivery drone from FlashExpress has arrived. After handing over the syringe containing the disposable medicine storage box, Tom Ken buried his head in his arms for a while before raising it again.

Along with other orphans adopted by the Childe family from a young age, he underwent various forms of training and testing from childhood. Once a particular talent was discovered, he would be taken away for specialized education.

The true guiding principle that permeated the first nineteen years of Tonkne's life was the daily, deeply ingrained education in loyalty.

The idea of ​​dedicating everything to the Childe family was ingrained in every cell of his body; to conceal even the slightest thing would be tantamount to a complete denial of himself.

So he didn't hesitate to report the matter of the potion to Butler Sean, and under his instructions, the potion was sent out of the academy.

Tanken held a very low position in the family and was not yet qualified to know which official member of the Child family would receive the potion.

He knew he should feel proud and honored because he had made an extraordinary contribution to the family.

But for some reason, once the potion was truly out of his hands, Tonks felt an uncontrollable sense of despondency.

Perhaps it's because, deep down, in some corner of my heart, there still lingers a trace of resentment and unwillingness that I don't even want to admit.

But such top-tier medicine shouldn't be used on someone like me. So why would Instructor Nan do that?

He gave away such precious medicine to himself and to every student in the class for free.

She would never have imagined that someone like herself existed.

Tom Ken clenched his fists until they turned blue, barely managing to suppress the surging regret and almost rebellious thoughts.

Fortunately, there was also the mental sea training method. His education from childhood made it almost impossible for him to hide anything from the higher-ups; even if such a thought arose in his mind, his mouth would blurt it out before he could even finish thinking about it.

But he couldn't mention the mental sea training method to anyone, not even a single word.

Neither its name nor its operating method.

He can think, he can cultivate, and he can benefit from it, but he just can't speak, he can't write, and he can't use the AI ​​to send messages.

This kind of passive concealment can hardly be called betrayal, can it?
Sang Pei woke up in his dormitory bed, feeling dizzy and weak all over.

She glanced groggily at the AI; it was already 2 PM. This was supposed to be the time for the simulation training class, and she was already an hour late.

Some hazy memories crept into her mind: the potion-synthesis class that had thrilled her, the exceptionally capable Instructor Nan, and the miraculous mental cultivation method.
Oh, and that first-stage A-level gene optimizer.

Sang Pei smiled, reached into his pocket, and then froze.

The right pocket is empty. The left pocket is empty too.

The bag, filled with books, notes, and miscellaneous items, also did not contain the gold crystal injection.

Fine beads of cold sweat quickly soaked Sang Pei's forehead and shoulders. She stumbled around the dormitory for a whole time, but did not see any of the gold crystal injections.

She was still very dizzy. She tried hard to recall what had happened before she fainted, and suddenly a picture popped into her mind.

It was at the corner outside the dormitory building that Zeng Hao and his group stopped him and asked him a few questions about Professor Nan's classes.

Sang Pei naturally wouldn't bring up the injection, and they didn't ask any further questions.

The last image in my memory seems to be a piece of obsidian cut into the shape of a coin, which Zeng Hao was casually tossing away.

Black obsidian is a very common material, often used for large-scale home decoration, and it is not very expensive.

Throughout the conversation, Zeng Hao kept smiling and repeatedly made the same gesture: tossing the food up, catching it, tossing it again, and catching it again.

She was puzzled at the time, wondering why Zeng Hao, with his family background, would play with such cheap items.

His dizziness worsened, making it almost impossible for him to think. Sang Pei slumped back onto the bed and subconsciously began practicing the Mental Sea Exercise.

It felt as if a clear stream flowed into my brow, and my muddled mind gradually began to function again.

I don't know how much time passed before the dizziness completely disappeared, leaving me feeling refreshed.

Although she still couldn't remember what happened next, she was certain that Zeng Hao and his group had taken the gold crystal injection.

She had to immediately find CCTV footage and witnesses who had entered and exited the dormitory.
Sang Pei suddenly opened his eyes, only to find someone standing by the bed.
