Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 105 Apology
Hearing this, several people breathed a sigh of relief. This meant compensation was coming. Glancing at his two colleagues, and seeing that Cai Yue'er seemed to be showing signs of an outburst, Mr. Li immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Cai Yue'er.

Old Li sighed helplessly in his heart. Cai Yue'er was a troublemaker. With her personality, she would definitely not make compensation. Zhuoshi was Wu Changkong's teacher after all, and could barely be considered the grandmaster of several of them. It was not appropriate for him to negotiate compensation. In the end, it was still him, a passerby, who had to clean up the mess. So he was the only one who was suitable to represent the academy to compensate the little guys.

Blocking the aura that had just risen from Cai Yue'er behind him, Elder Li used his mental power to transmit a message: "I will discuss the next matter, you two should stop talking."

After repeated persuasion from Mr. Li, Cai Yue'er finally calmed down.

Elder Li smiled kindly at them and said, "It was their fault before. Tell us what you want, and the school will do its best to compensate you. Now that we're here, we're all family. I'll be the one making the decision, and I won't let you suffer any injustice."

Hearing this, Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, Tang Wulin, and Gu Yue all looked at Lin Xingyu. They really didn't expect that the other party would be willing to negotiate and even take the initiative to offer compensation to them.

Several people turned their eyes to Lin Xingyu. The meaning was very clear: Lin Xingyu had the most and the broadest knowledge here, so the power to compensate was given to him.

Feeling the gazes of several people, Lin Xingyu stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "The first request is very simple. I hope she can apologize to Gu Yue. After all, it was Gu Yue who was wronged in this matter."

The first requirement is to identify yourself and the others as being on the victim's side and make your own position clear first. This way, no matter whether the negotiations are successful or not, it will be easier for everyone to go out, and no matter where you go, you will have a legitimate reason.

Even if we file a complaint or seek revenge in the future, we will have a legitimate reason. After all, we are the victims, and you have accepted it.

"No problem!" Mr. Li agreed immediately.

Cai Yue'er in the back was still a little conflicted, but after thinking about it, she decided that if it was under these conditions, she would be willing to apologize if she could let a few people stay in the academy. After all, although she had a strange personality, this was not her home and there was no protection for her. After all, with her personality, if it wasn't for the protection of Shrek Academy, it was hard to say what would happen after she went out. She knew very well what to do.

For the sake of the academy, she was willing to restrain her temper. After all, some of the people on the other side really had connections to go to other academies.

Seeing that Mr. Li readily agreed, Lin Xingyu nodded and continued:

"The second condition is that I heard that Shrek Academy uses contribution points internally. My request is not high. You have deducted a total of 35 points from Gu Yue. If one point is equal to 10,000 points, then you can compensate us with 350,000 contribution points each."

After hearing Lin Xingyu's second request, the three examiners and Shen Yi were a little stunned. It would be fine if you knew the situation inside the academy, but 350,000 contribution points, some students from other colleges don't even have that many until graduation. You really dare to make such a request.

It would take many years for senior students in the academy to save up so many contribution points. If they were really given 350,000 contribution points, and saved a little, they would not have to work during their entire stay in the external college and could just enjoy themselves.

This is not a place to go to school, this is a place to enjoy life.

The purpose of Lin Xingyu's condition is very simple. After all, once you enter Shrek Academy, you still have to work. You don't even have enough time to practice, so how can you have time to work for you? Of course, you should make as much money as you can first, and then life will be easy in the future.

Upon hearing this condition, Mr. Li hesitated. He discussed with Zhuoshi, Cai Yueer and the other two using telepathy for a long time. Then Mr. Li coughed and said.

"No problem. I agree to this condition as compensation for your losses."

Xie Xie and the other three were still a little stunned. They didn't know how many federal coins 350,000 contribution points were equivalent to.

Hearing that the other party agreed so easily, Lin Xingyu raised his eyebrows. It seems that he still underestimated the wealth of Shrek Academy. After all, it is a force that has stood on the continent for 20,000 years. Besides, this thing has to be spent in Shrek City, so the other party will not lose much.

It seems that he is still a little petty, so Lin Xingyu decided to be more ruthless with his next blow.

"The third condition is that the main victim of this incident is Gu Yue. No matter what, Gu Yue should be given some special compensation. The compensation given to Gu Yue should be more valuable than ours, not the same as ours. So I want to give Gu Yue something special."

"I hope to compensate Gu Yue with a hundred thousand year soul bone."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan, Gu Yue, Xie Xie and Tang Wulin all looked over in astonishment. They didn't know how much the contribution points were worth before, but they knew a little about the level of a hundred thousand year spirit bone. None of them expected that Lin Xingyu would dare to ask for such a high price.

"Impossible!" After hearing Lin Xingyu's words, before Zhuoshi and Cai Yue'er behind him could react, Mr. Li directly refused.

Shen Yi, Zhuo Shi, and Cai Yue'er all looked at Lin Xingyu in shock. They never expected that he would dare to ask for such a high price.

Elder Li took a deep breath and said, "You are still young, and you may not understand how precious a hundred thousand year soul bone is. The total number of such bones that have appeared in history may be less than the number of Titled Douluo currently in existence."

What Old Li said was indeed true. This was the era with the most Titled Douluo, and there were only so many hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. Even if their cultivation level did not increase with each passing year, and they could be accelerated by rare treasures, then even if all the hundred-thousand-year soul beasts on the entire land were killed, there would not be many left.

The hundred thousand year spirit rings on the Titled Douluo now may seem numerous, but many of them are actually ten thousand year souls, which were created through various secret methods. Some forces even use secret methods to separate them from people who are nearing the end of their lifespan.

As the number of soul beasts gradually decreased, many powerful forces set their sights on souls. Whether it was artificial souls or soul recycling, people were constantly trying these things.

"Add to that those that were damaged or lost in battle, and these things are even fewer. Many Titled Douluo have never even seen them."

"If you had a soul bone that was thousands or even tens of thousands of years old, I could think of a way, but the quality of the ones that exist now is not high. Giving them to you would actually harm you."

Lin Xingyu was not disappointed when he heard Mr. Li's straightforward refusal. After all, bargaining is about making a big offer first and then talking slowly.

"How many tens of thousands of years can the academy give you in terms of soul bones?" Lin Xingyu asked.

Looking at the few people, Li Lao thought for a moment and said, "Don't even think about a hundred thousand year soul bone, but a ten thousand year soul bone, hmm."

Looking at the people in front of him, Old Li was a little embarrassed for a moment. It was not that he could not give them the ten thousand year soul bone, but Gu Yue already had a teacher, and he was still a member of the Spirit Pagoda. Judging from the situation, it was unlikely that she would betray her master. If he gave her a high-quality soul bone, wouldn't it be like throwing meat buns at a dog, which would never come back?

If you really want to stay at Shrek Academy, that's fine. After all, while the academy's primary focus is on guiding and shaping students' values ​​in the early stages, the inner courtyard offers plenty of goodies. After all, any power that relies solely on relationships without profit won't last long. The academy has stood on the continent for 20,000 years and understands this clearly. But there's a good chance this girl will run away after graduation...

Although they can have a connection with each other through this relationship, isn't this just a complete scapegoat?

Elder Li, who was pondering what to say, saw his eyes sweep over Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He said, "Well, I see that your soul needs are quite high. Whether it's the star attribute soul this little girl needs, or the soul requirements of this little fellow's martial soul, the academy will try its best to help you find a matching ten thousand year old soul. Souls with special requirements like these are really hard to come by. Many people have no connections even if they have money."

"If you can buy it somewhere else, the college will pay for it for you, how about that?"

How can someone be loyal the first day they join a force? Mr. Li's idea is very simple. He wants to keep these little guys. Then, whether it is to lure them with benefits, persuade them with reason, or appeal to their emotions, there are plenty of ways to make them gradually develop a sense of belonging to the academy and make them truly like this academy in the future.

After all, the academy has accumulated rich experience in education (delete the word "brainwashing") over the past 20,000 years, and Mr. Li is still very confident about this.

Lin Xingyu looked carefully at the old man opposite him. Tang Wulin and the others were a little moved, but they just looked at Lin Xingyu quietly without saying anything.

The value of a ten thousand year old soul was not low, and they had known this for a long time. The cheapest ten thousand year old soul was at least fifty million federal coins, and those with special properties were constantly doubling in price. They still understood how much the compensation was.

"Okay." Lin Xingyu also decided to quit while he was ahead. He would get as much as he could and would definitely not agree to any outrageous requests.

"My last request is that our future homeroom teacher won't be Mr. Cai."

Upon hearing this, Cai Yue'er's face immediately darkened.

Zhuo Shi ignored Elder Li's previous advice and said directly, "This request is not acceptable. How each class's head teacher arranges their duties is the school's business. This matter will not change because of you guys. This is absolutely unacceptable."

Lin Xingyu was a little surprised when he heard Zhuoshi's words. He then thought about it and made some rough guesses. Every force has its own rules of operation, and these rules cannot be changed by outsiders, even by its own people.

After all, the ancestral laws cannot be changed, even if the ancestors come back.

This should have touched the other party's bottom line. After all, there is a division of power within Shrek Academy. This should have forced the other party to change its own power and directly touched the other party's interests, so the other party's attitude is so tough. After all, I can sacrifice a little for the academy, but you can't touch my foundation!
Cai Yue'er is the dean of the Foreign Affairs College and the head teacher of Class One, Grade One. Asking her to leave is equivalent to directly attacking the source of her power, which is impossible no matter how you think about it.

There is another layer of relationship between students and teachers, and the network between them is built based on personal connections.

Even if a few people leave here and go to other schools, some rules cannot be changed.

Mr. Li sighed. What kind of a deal was this? He just wanted to make a quick buck, but ended up having to clean up his colleagues' messes. He said, "Let's both compromise. We won't approve this request no matter what. You can consider other requests as an alternative."

Seeing the other party's tough attitude, Lin Xingyu nodded. He understood that this condition would not be accepted no matter what. After thinking for a while, he said, "In this case, we want a privilege. If this person has any obviously unreasonable requests after enrollment, we can simply ignore them."

"After all, this is also for the purpose of enabling normal communication between each other. It is always better for everyone to live in harmony than to be hostile to each other."

Hearing Lin Xingyu's words, Cai Yue'er's face darkened even more. "So you're targeting me, aren't you? I do have a bad temper, but as a junior, can't you just be patient?"

Zhuo Shi stroked his beard and stepped forward, saying, "That won't happen. After you enroll, you'll all be family. I believe Mr. Cai won't make things difficult for you. By then, we'll all be teacher and student. How can a teacher make things difficult for a student?"

Hearing this, Lin Xingyu did not answer but just looked at Cai Yue'er silently.

Seeing Lin Xingyu's gaze, the others followed silently.

Seeing Lin Xingyu's gaze, Zhuoshi and Li Lao suddenly felt a little embarrassed. After all, the thing they were targeting had just happened.

"Look at the situation. These little guys are obviously afraid that this kind of situation will happen again. Why don't you agree first and stay. There will be plenty of time to communicate slowly later." Zhuoshi used his mental power to quietly convey a message to Cai Yue'er.

On the other side, Mr. Li also kept persuading Cai Yue'er.

Seeing this situation, Shen Yi quietly took two steps back, hoping that no one present would notice her. She just came to report with her senior's students, hoping to ease the relationship between her senior and the teacher. Why did it end up like this?

In the end, Cai Yue'er nodded slowly and imperceptibly. Seeing this, Old Li and Zhuoshi both breathed a sigh of relief. The matter was finally over.

Elder Li said, "There's nothing wrong with this, but you must obey the teacher's normal requests. The teacher cares about you. If there are unreasonable requests without first communicating with Elder Zhuoshi, there must be a misunderstanding. Elder Cai will not deliberately make things difficult for you."

Zhuo Shi was slightly taken aback when he heard this, then smiled and said, "That's right, kids. If you have any questions, you can come to me. I welcome you anytime. My years of experience can still provide you with a lot of help."

"Are you satisfied?" asked Mr. Li. Now that the problem was solved, he could finally leave. This was not his business.

"Thank you, Senior, for your justice!" Lin Xingyu said with a bow. This Titled Douluo had a very good temper. The others also came forward to express their gratitude.

Finally, everyone looked at Cai Yue'er.

Cai Yue'er stood there for a long time before she slowly walked forward, looked at Gu Yue, and after a moment's silence, said, "I'm sorry."

After saying that, he took a few steps back and walked to the back.

Although her voice was low, everyone felt relieved when they heard her apology. After all, she was a Titled Douluo, and her status was very important.
