Chapter 368 Rare Metals

"Please thank His Highness Prince Qian for his generosity," Lin You said with a smile. "I am very satisfied with this apology."

The head guard nodded in agreement, and then led the other guards to assist Lin You in transporting the metals into the storage room he designated. Throughout the process, the head guard was extremely respectful, showing no sign of dissatisfaction or resentment.

That's normal, after all, what idiot wouldn't pity themselves and sympathize with their master who lives a life of luxury?
After the convoy left, Xuan Ziwen walked to Lin You's side and looked at the pile of metal with surprise: "So many rare metals, I couldn't even get this much approved in my application... His Highness Prince Qian is really generous."

Although the Prince Qian asked those in the know to keep quiet about this matter, Lin You wasn't going to tolerate the old man's behavior and immediately went to brag to Xuan Ziwen.

As for how the prince will bristle and glare, well, whatever.

Lin You smiled and said, "This is what he owes me, or rather, what the Sun Moon Empire's royal family owes me."

Xuan Ziwen shook his head slightly: "You little rascal, you're really bold. Aren't you afraid of death? Although you're in the right, adults always have their limits of tolerance, especially those in the palace."

"Of course, I'm not stupid. I'll definitely stop short of making a move. Otherwise, if they really get angry with me, I'll laugh at them." Lin You nodded.

Xuan Ziwen looked at him with great interest: "When you have time, you have to tell me more about your 'element theory'. I'm becoming more and more attracted to your system, you know? Lately, many teachers have been asking me about it. Researchers are all like that, they can't help it."

"Then, regarding the changes in the properties of water, I think you need to put it into practice. We have always used ice-attribute soul power to make ice. It is unimaginable that you can make ice by arranging some kind of atomic structure or something. I think if you can replicate it, it will cause a great shock."

Lin You smiled and agreed, but felt a little emotional inside.

Through this incident, he not only acquired a large amount of rare metal resources, but also subtly established an unassailable image for himself within the academy. All of this will pave the way for his future plans.

Expand your reputation, promote your elemental theory system, get more people on board, and then pack them up and take them all away, teacher and all. Hehe.

That evening, Lin You went to the storage room alone. Looking at the pile of gleaming metal, a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"Looks like I'm in luck," he muttered to himself. "So many rare metals are enough for me to cultivate for quite some time."

He reached out and gently touched one of the golden stones. He immediately felt a familiar energy flow into his body from his fingertips. The power of the gold element circulated within him, giving him a warm and comfortable feeling all over his body.

Just then, light footsteps came from outside the door. Lin You immediately withdrew his hand and turned to look at the doorway.

"Who?"

The door was gently pushed open, and Ju Zi appeared in the doorway. She looked at Lin You, then at the pile of metal, a curious expression on her face.

“I heard you received a large sum of compensation, so I came to see if it’s true,” Orange said as she walked into the storage room and examined the metal. “I didn’t expect there to be so much.”

Lin You smiled and said, "Your Highness Prince Qian is very generous."

Orange glanced at him: "You're really something else. You haven't been at our academy long, but you've already completely offended the royal family."

“They provoked me first,” Lin You shrugged. “I was just acting in self-defense.”

Orange walked up to a pile of metal and reached out to touch it, but Lin You stopped her.

"Be careful, some metals contain radioactive elements. Although you can't sense them or know their specific abilities, I can see them."

Lin You said, "Not all pretty things can be touched casually." In front of him were many metals, some of which he recognized, such as cobalt, a hard, silvery-white metal with pale blue spots. It was really strange; this thing had extremely strong gamma rays with great penetrating power, and it needed to be shielded with lead or concrete to be handled with care.

But by the time he realized all this, it was too late, and he could only suffer in silence.

These people from the Sun Moon Empire probably don't even know how powerful this thing is. Although it's very precious, isn't it a bit too scary?
Ju Zi withdrew her hand, looking at him with some surprise: "You know about these things?"

“I’m very sensitive to elements.” Lin You nodded. “Some of these metals have high levels of radioactivity, and prolonged exposure could be dangerous—no, absolutely risky.”

Orange nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "So what do you plan to do with this metal? Use it to make soul tools?"

“Some of it will be used for research,” Lin You replied. “I haven’t decided on the rest yet. But since you’re here, I do have an idea.”

"what idea?"

“I remember you also have a lot of knowledge about soul tools.”

Lin You looked at the oranges and said, "If you're interested, you can choose some of these metals to make your own soul tool. Consider it a token of my gratitude."

Orange raised an eyebrow: "A thank-you gift? Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for spending so many days with me in the Jingyang Mountains," Lin You said with a smile. "If it weren't for you guys, I might still be starving there. The food I cooked was absolutely awful."

Orange blinked, then smiled slightly: "Alright, since you're so generous, I won't stand on ceremony."

She showed no awareness of saving Lin You any money, but it was precisely this sense of entitlement that made Lin You nod secretly.

If this girl were truly wary, she would have been polite enough, not acted this way.

Not long after, Orange finished packing up and left with a smile.

However, as soon as she stepped out of the room, she slowly stopped and glanced at her bracelet soul tool, where the pale blue halo still emitted specks of light.

"Let's make him a soul tool! We can't just take someone's things for nothing." She suddenly had a brilliant idea, and then walked along, thinking about what she could do for him.

A ring? No, that won't do. This has a special meaning. Ju Zi knows very well that His Highness the Crown Prince is always watching her. Don't be fooled by how well he treats her. In reality, if she were to betray him or displease His Highness, her situation would be in danger.

Moreover, not only herself, but more importantly, Ju Zi understood that she had long been regarded as one of the Crown Prince's own people. In other words, she could not get too close to men, especially other young men, otherwise it would only bring misfortune to Lin You.

Prince Qian may not be qualified enough, but he is the Crown Prince.
The thought that she had originally planned to seek revenge against the Star Luo Empire by siding with this guy, but now her enemy had become the military under the Sun Moon Empire, made her sigh helplessly. She couldn't side with him too much, or she would only shoot herself in the foot.

Her life was like walking on thin ice.

Is it possible to reach the other side?

Forget it, I'm still Lin You's senior sister. His Highness the Crown Prince shouldn't be so petty, right?
