Douluo Continent: Dark Demon God Biao, inheriting the position of an evil god
Chapter 197 Yan Shaozhe's Abacus Beads Crackling
director's office.
"What? You want me to host this year's exchange students?"
Dai Yuntian almost thought he had misheard. He jumped up from his chair, his brows furrowed in a frown.
"Are you kidding me! Dean Yan, I'm very busy!"
Yan Shaozhe was startled by his reaction and quickly reached out to press down, putting on a reassuring smile:
"Oh, Yun Tian, calm down, calm down. Sit down, sit down and let's talk. We're discussing this, let's talk it out, let's talk it out..."
Dai Yuntian stood still, arms crossed, with an expression that said, "This isn't over until I get a reasonable explanation."
Yan Shaozhe was bitter inside, but he still had to force a smile. He rubbed his hands and sighed, "Sigh, Yun Tian, this matter... it really happened suddenly. The exchange students for this year's cohort had all been confirmed, but Xingluo suddenly said they wanted to change people, and not just ordinary people, but real heavyweights."
For a long, long time.
The Eldest Princess of the Star Luo Empire!
Moreover, the Xingluo Emperor specifically requested that Dai Yuntian receive him.
Moreover, although Xu Jiawei's letter was politely worded, its meaning was very clear, almost as if to say, "My sister is in Dai Yuntian's care, no one else will do."
"If you want to change people, then change people. There are so many teachers in the college, and plenty of upperclassmen. Why do you have to choose me?"
Dai Yuntian remained unmoved.
You should know that when upperclassmen in your previous school helped lowerclassmen carry their luggage, they always had ulterior motives, either to get a membership card or to lust after her body.
Not to mention the work of receiving exchange students, which is not only tiring but also has no practical benefits and is a pure waste of time and energy.
Only a fool would do that!
"The problem lies with the person who was replaced!"
Yan Shaozhe lowered his voice, his expression a mixture of helplessness and seriousness: "This time, the person we've acquired isn't an ordinary student, but a truly heavyweight."
Without even thinking, Dai Yuntian shook his head and said, "I'm not going. Whoever wants to go can go. I don't have time anyway."
"Hey, don't be so quick to refuse!"
When Yan Shaozhe saw Dai Yuntian's resolute attitude, he became anxious.
He couldn't refuse the task, but Dai Yuntian refused to go, putting him in a difficult position.
His eyes darted around, and Yan Shaozhe's face showed an extremely pained expression, as if he had made a tremendous decision. He gritted his teeth and held up two fingers to show his intention:
"Well... here's what we've got! The academy knows you and Le Xuan are collaborating on research into soul tools and are short of rare materials. If you're willing to take on this task and put in the hard work... the academy will make a special exception and give you a ton of rare blue gold stones! How about that?"
Rare Blue Goldstone!
It is one of the core materials for making advanced defensive soul tools, and the demand for it is huge.
One ton, the market price starts at least at one million gold soul coins!
Yan Shaozhe felt that the price was quite reasonable.
Running errands and spending time with the princess can earn you materials worth millions of gold soul coins.
Where else can you find such a good thing?
"One ton? I'll think about it."
Dai Yuntian hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise, and he deliberately put on an expression of difficulty in making a decision.
Earning this much from just one trip is actually quite good.
However, he felt that Shrek's potential could be pushed even further.
After all, Dai Yuntian always adhered to one principle.
Refuse loudly what is not in your favor, and gladly accept what is in your favor!
Anyway, the college suffers, but we get rich!
When Yan Shaozhe saw Dai Yuntian's "hesitant" look, his heart skipped a beat. He knew that the kid thought it was too little and was trying to raise the price.
He gritted his teeth, stretched out one hand, fingers spread, his face contorted in pain:
"Don't hesitate, three tons! Three tons of rare blue gold stone! Yun Tian, this is truly the academy's limit; we can't go any further!"
Seeing Yan Shaozhe's troubled expression, Dai Yuntian couldn't help but chuckle. He slowly said, "Five tons, I'll go for five tons."
"Five...five tons?!"
Yan Shaozhe's eyes widened instantly, and his voice rose a decimal notch: "You, Dai Yuntian! Are you trying to make a fool of me? You might as well just rob me! This is blatant extortion!"
Dai Yuntian looked innocent and shrugged: "Dean Yan, you can't say that. This is a distinguished guest from Xingluo. He has a noble status and a great responsibility! If something happens to him while he's here, I can't bear the responsibility."
"Five tons of materials, for me to do my best, for the academy to have peace, for the Star Luo royal family to be satisfied—it's a great deal!"
He leaned forward and asked with a smile, "So, you're telling me, will you give it to me or not?"
Yan Shaozhe pointed at Dai Yuntian, his fingers trembling, his beard bristling with anger.
He stared at Dai Yuntian's harmless, handsome face for a full ten seconds, then, as if all his strength had been drained, slumped back into his chair and waved his hand weakly: "Here, here, here, five tons it is! Get out of here, get out, get out! Seeing you makes me angry."
"Alright, thank you very much, Dean Yan. You're very generous."
Dai Yuntian immediately beamed, his expression changing faster than flipping through a book. He offered a compliment and then turned and slipped away.
The movements were incredibly clean and swift, as if afraid that Yan Shaozhe might change his mind.
Once Dai Yuntian's figure disappeared outside the door, Yan Shaozhe slammed his hand on the table.
"boom!"
The fine mahogany desk groaned under its own weight.
"I'm furious! That little rascal! Bandit! Robber!"
Yan Shaozhe clutched his chest, feeling as if his heart was bleeding: "Five tons of rare blue gold stones! Five million gold soul coins wouldn't be enough! One job has swindled me out of so much!"
"Is this kid some kind of bandit? If it weren't for the fact that his surname is Dai, I would have thoroughly investigated his family history for three generations!"
"No way, I can't let this go unpunished!"
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated and heartbroken he became.
Yan Shaozhe has always been the one scheming against others and taking advantage of them. When has he ever been so ruthlessly fleeced?
It was still by a twelve-year-old kid!
No, I can't let this loss go unpunished, and I can't swallow this insult!
Yan Shaozhe's eyes lit up, and a plan came to mind.
He walked to the door and instructed the students on duty outside, "Go and call Ma Xiaotao from the inner courtyard to me."
A moment later, a fiery red figure rushed into the dean's office.
It was Ma Xiaotao.
"Teacher, are you looking for me?"
Yan Shaozhe had now reverted to his dignified dean persona, picked up his teacup, took a slow sip, and said as if casually:
"Oh, Xiao Tao's here. It's nothing much, just wanted to let you know that Dai Yuntian has gone back to the academy, you know?"
Ma Xiaotao clenched her fists, a bright smile spreading across her pretty face: "That kid's finally back, that's great! I've been so pent up lately!"
Yan Shaozhe winked and said, "Xiao Tao, when are you and Yun Tian going to get closer to each other?"
Ma Xiaotao blushed and lowered her head shyly, saying, "Oh dear... Teacher, what nonsense are you talking about!"
As an adult, she naturally understood what Yan Shaozhe was saying.
But Dai Yuntian was still too young, and she simply couldn't bring herself to do it.
"Xiao Tao, you know Yun Tian's current situation. All the major forces are vying to gather information about him. You must seize this opportunity..."
Yan Shaozhe gave a meaningful chuckle.
He was making plans in his mind.
Since Dai Yuntian swindled five million gold soul coins from him, it's not unreasonable for him to use his disciple to keep the other party in check, right?
If Xiao Tao can really win over this kid, then these materials can be considered as a "betrothal gift"... no, a "dowry" for her apprentice!
Anyway, you won't lose money!
Ma Xiaotao blushed and her heart pounded after Yan Shaozhe's "direct" hint.
Her mind was a jumble of emotions, a mixture of shyness and a subtle, almost imperceptible, sense of anticipation and secret delight.
"Teacher! You...you're disrespectful to your elders! I'm ignoring you!"
She couldn't stay any longer. With a coquettish remark, she covered her face like a frightened little rabbit and ran out of the dean's office.
Watching his apprentice's retreating figure, Yan Shaozhe stroked his chin and smiled smugly.
"You little punk, trying to mess with me? You swindled five million from me, so I'll 'compensate' you with a wife! Let's see who gets the better deal!"
Yan Shaozhe could almost see the wonderful scene of Dai Yuntian being completely controlled by his "Fire Phoenix" and obediently calling him "teacher" in the future.
Well, this was a good deal! (End of Chapter)
