Full-Time Magister: The Strongest Summoned Beast is Actually Myself

Chapter 69, Mingzhu Merit

At the same time, with the death of the Demon Mother, the green and yellow demons who were still in a riot seemed to have lost their spiritual leader. One by one, they fell to the ground, emitting painful cries, as if their spines had been suddenly removed.

But the stadium was still in chaos, filled with screams and screams of people running for their lives. Most people were unaware that the culprit hidden behind the scenes had already been killed on the spot by Chen Hao.

Seeing that the situation on the field had stabilized somewhat, Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan exchanged a glance.

"It seems Chen Hao has taken care of things." Zhao Manyan breathed a sigh of relief.

“Then let’s not sit idly by.” Mo Fan nodded and immediately began organizing the rescue operation.

Almost all the girls who had been parasitized were unconscious, their faces as pale as paper, their breaths weak, as if they would wither away at any moment. The two quickly moved the injured to a safe area and called for backup.

Chen Hao didn't delay. He immediately contacted Lingling to report the news of the Demon Mother's death and notified the school and the Hunter Alliance to take over the scene as soon as possible and carry out the aftermath.

This terrifying parasitic crisis has finally come to an end.

……

In the Qing Campus, ever since Chen Hao and Mo Fan plundered the entire department's resources for two consecutive years, their reputations have been completely ruined. One is a big devil, and the other is a little devil, known as the two kings of Bo City.

However, on this day, at the routine monthly school-wide commendation meeting, something astonishing happened.

"This commendation... awards Chen Hao, a student from the main campus, with the first-class merit at the school level, and Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan, students from the Qing campus, with the second-class merit, for stopping the Scaled Demon Mother's riot and saving the lives of more than 4,000 teachers and students across the school."

Academician Li's voice echoed in the hall, causing an uproar.

Applause didn't erupt immediately; instead, an eerie silence followed. Many even thought they had misheard. Those two lawless resource-grabbing kings of Bo City had actually become heroes?
The recent incident involving the scaly monster in the gymnasium has been widely discussed, with the four or five thousand students who experienced it embellishing their accounts into multiple versions during the holiday.

Whether it's a witch possessing another's body, a mass coma, a radiant demon slaying, or a bloody battle on an elevator platform... no matter which version, the two kings are always present.

It wasn't just rumors among students; the news media also reported on the incident.

Campus incidents have always touched a nerve in society, and this unusual infiltration of demons and plagues has been featured in special reports by many mainstream media outlets.

Although zero casualties were not achieved, the death toll was kept below ten, which is a miracle in similar historical events.

It should be understood that similar incidents of demonic parasitism, once they spread, can result in hundreds of deaths and injuries, or even tens of thousands, and there are precedents of entire cities falling into chaos.

The government and media deliberately downplay the sad events to avoid causing unnecessary panic.

On the contrary, this incident, which was well-controlled, decisively handled, and involved limited sacrifices, was portrayed by many media outlets as a model of "students' heroic disaster relief."

Therefore, at this school-wide assembly, Academician Li, Dean Xiao, and the heads of various departments took turns to the stage to praise Chen Hao and Mo Fan, highly affirming their heroic actions and clearly stating: "These are the magicians that Mingzhu Academy wants to cultivate!"

……

Hongsheng Forging Workshop. "Mo Fan, Mo Fan! How about you sell me this medal? Ten million, cash transfer!" As soon as the commendation ceremony ended, Zhao Manyan clung to him like a leech, his face full of eagerness.

He also benefited from Chen Hao and Mo Fan's influence in this incident, as he made a lot of appearances during the rescue. In order to balance things out, the school also gave him a merit award. However, he was also eyeing Mo Fan's reward at the same time.

"Are you serious?" Mo Fan's eyes lit up. He'd been following Chen Hao for so long, accumulating quite a few resources, and had made a fortune at the last beast-fighting tournament. If this seemingly useless medal could really sell for ten million, his lightning-type spirit seed funding would be in place immediately!
"Of course, would I lie to you?" Zhao Manyan chuckled, looking like you'd hit the jackpot.

While brewing tea, Chen Hao lifted the lid and said without looking up, "Idiot, go search on the university forum and see what the Pearl Medal is worth."

Mo Fan was taken aback, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately took out his phone and started frantically clicking on the forum page.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Manyan panicked: "Hey, hey, Chen, what are you doing! Mo Fan, 15 million, I'll add another 5 million, can you please stop investigating?"

Mo Fan ignored him completely, his fingers flying across the keyboard as his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"What the hell... You spoiled brat, do you really think I, Mo Fan, am some ignorant country bumpkin?" Mo Fan raised his head, a sneer on his face. "You come up here and try to bargain down something worth twenty million to ten million? Are you robbing a bank?"

"It's not as exaggerated as you say!" Zhao Manyan quickly retorted. "Those posts on the forum are way too outrageous, okay? Twenty million? That's the ultimate ideal price. Who has ever actually sold it? My offer is already very sincere, less than a 10% discount!"

Mo Fan raised an eyelid: "Then go up and buy one yourself and try it out?"

“I…” Zhao Manyan opened his mouth, but finally sighed and sat down with a thud: “Fine, fine, I admit it. You two are heartless bastards, one cheated me out of my money and the other ruined my plans.”

"Don't act like a wronged woman," Chen Hao pushed the tea towards him. "If you make this deal, you should be able to earn quite a bit back in your family, right?"

"Hiss!" Zhao Manyan gasped, staring at Chen Hao in shock. "You even know this? Dude, who are you?"

These scions of powerful families relied not only on their looks to vie for power within their clans, but also on their military achievements, prestige, and influence. And medals like the Order of the Pearl, registered with both official bodies and academic institutions, were excellent political resources.

The aftermath of the Demon Mother incident has not yet subsided, and its impact has spread throughout Shanghai and even the whole country. Being able to secure this credit is no less significant than Mu Nujiao taking over all the public resources of the entire system.

In the original novel, Zhao Manyan rose to prominence because of this great achievement, but now that Chen Hao has become a variable, he can no longer easily take advantage of the situation.

However, given his special status, he remained calm. He was no ordinary scion of a prominent family, but rather the legitimate second young master of the Zhao family.

This medal not only allows him to receive a wave of resources from his family, but also gives him a legitimate reason to make money off his father. This is the fundamental reason why he was willing to compromise and raise the price.

Chen Hao blew out a puff of hot air and said slowly, "I'm just a blacksmith shop owner, where would I get my connections? But you two, as brothers, shouldn't you support my little business?"

"It's not like you've got any decent products from forging." Mo Fan rolled his eyes, picked up his teacup, and retorted without holding back.

At this moment, two figures with faces as black as the bottom of a pot quietly stood behind him. Zhao Manyan, who originally wanted to say a few words, immediately sensed that the atmosphere was not right, shrank his neck, and wisely shut his mouth.
