god of tomorrow

"So cheap?"

Gawain was immediately displeased. That guy, Hill's blue-haired cousin, a son of a branch family, could be sold for 110 million.

Is the Gao family's heirloom really not even as good as a blue-haired guy?

"Where is the cheap price? It's a fair price, and I haven't even asked you for the certificate and invoice yet! You found this equipment; legitimate shops won't accept it. On the black market, they can haggle it down to 20."

At this point, Hill sighed, "You bunch of rich kids, living a life of luxury, never lifting a finger, and you have no idea how business works."

Gao Wen rolled his eyes. Going back three generations, they were all scoundrels. They didn't get accounts from the early days of the game, didn't understand the business opportunities presented by the open market, and didn't grasp the significance of the internet. They finally managed to catch the real estate investment boom, and guess what...

In short, he doesn't deserve the title of young master.

"Cousin, take another look. Spatial equipment is very rare."

“Space equipment is rare, but that’s relative. It’s not that scarce on the market. The craftsmanship of this Magic Corridor isn’t complicated… Don’t look at me like that. Just because an artisan can make it doesn’t mean I can.”

Hill pointed in the direction of the administrative office building: "You know the Magic Tower? It has its own spatial corridor, combining offense and defense, a strategic fortress. That's what you call high-end stuff. The one you have is a simplified, portable version, its advantage being its exquisite and lightweight design."

As she spoke, Hill gestured a fingertip's width, small and cute.

The only advantage of the Magic Corridor is its exquisite design. It has only a simple illusion array with zero attack power and, needless to say, defense. If it encounters a powerful mage, the maze can be smashed into blocks with a single punch, whether from the inside or the outside.

"Now that you mention it, 50 seems too high."

Gawain pursed his lips, then suddenly remembered that the Magic Corridor wasn't actually the Gawain family heirloom; the real treasure had been borrowed by Van Vicki and hadn't been returned yet.

If I'm not mistaken, the treasure should have fallen into Fan Sen's hands.

“Cousin, you really don’t treat 50 yuan like money! Look at you, I told you you’re a young master, but you’re not convinced and insist on pretending to be poor in front of me.”

Hill shook his head repeatedly, thinking that when Gawain got old, he would sell all the health products to him: "From the buyer's point of view, if I want to lower the price, I will naturally lower the price to the lowest possible level. But from the seller's point of view, I can exaggerate the magic corridor, renovate it, add a historical allusion, and I can sell it for 200 million."

"How did you advertise it? How did you sell it?"

"It's in Silver City, there are lots of college students here, if I dare to brag, they'll dare to buy..."

Hill went on and on, saying that being a college student meant limited ability, and the highest graduation grade was only a formal mage. At this level, the Magic Corridor had all the advantages, was cost-effective, and had no shortage of buyers.

As they talked, he realized something was wrong: "You've got me hooked. I'm not here to do business with you. Are you going to listen to my dirty tricks or not?"

I'm just looking forward to broadening my worldview!

Gawain spread his hands to show he was wronged; he hadn't intended to change the subject, it was Hill who had gone off on a tangent.

“As I just said, anything involving magical artifacts can be traced back to its source. Even if Fan Sen took precautions and purchased the Magic Corridor from the black market, there are still clues on the black market…”

Hill chuckled: "We'll disguise ourselves as the second prince's men, leading the magic corridor to attack the eldest prince's men, leaving clues to guide the eldest prince to Vansen. Vansen won't dare admit to attacking students at school, and facing the magic corridor, he'll be unable to defend himself. The second prince can't protect Vansen, so he'll definitely hand him over to the eldest prince as an apology..."

“Even if the second prince doesn’t hand over Fan Sen, he wouldn’t dare to have anything to do with this audacious guy once he knows the truth. Without the protection of his superiors, the parents’ association could tear Fan Sen to shreds.”

"..."

A good plan, harmful to others but beneficial to oneself, making the most of limited resources. Apart from involving the crown prince, there's nothing wrong with it.

"Cousin, what do you think?"

"No way."

Gawain shook his head. He'd made a fortune these past few days, and killing Van Sen wouldn't benefit him; at least for now, it would do more harm than good. Once he couldn't squeeze any more money out of Van Sen, without Hill needing to scheme, he'd come knocking on his door and end this side quest completely.

As for the struggle for the crown prince position...

It's good, there are plenty of tasks to be completed, but not now. The ecological niche is unclear, and he can't play this kind of high-level game yet.

"How could it not be good? Think about it..."

“Cousin, what I think doesn’t matter, and what you think doesn’t matter either. Stop worrying about useless things. The key is Xiu. He doesn’t have that kind of interest, so no matter how much others worry, it’s useless,” Gao Wen said realistically.

Hill immediately knelt down, looking dejected, and sighed, "I'll listen to you. Stop worrying about useless things and worry about useful ones."

“I didn’t say that…”

Gao Wen was speechless: "Well, based on your plan just now, the two of us pretended to be the Second Prince's men and went out to launch a sneak attack. You're so confident, you must be a really good fighter?"

If so, please do me a favor. My orders are not selling well, and I'm almost starving.

"It wasn't me. I gave myself away as soon as I opened my mouth. I found someone to work with you."

"Is it reliable? Aren't you afraid of being sold out?"

Gao Wenqi is really something. You can't judge a book by its cover. Hill's heart is too big.

“She owes me a lot of money. I borrowed a loan from her when I was a freshman in college, which established a debt relationship. It’s in installments over thirty years. Now she’s my knight.” Hill’s eyes darted around, and he seemed somewhat afraid when he mentioned his knight.

Gawain keenly noticed this change in expression: "Your knight is very strong... stand up straight, you are the creditor."

"This isn't a question of whether it's strong or not..."

Hill scratched his head, trying to find the right words, and said, "How can I describe it to you? She's a bit... a bit... perverted. I'm a nobleman, but I'm not that perverted."

Chapter 35 School isn't about fighting and killing; school is about interpersonal relationships and social interactions.

On Sunday, Gao Wen spent another fulfilling day at the library.

Unlike yesterday's close call, nothing was found today, only the rustling sound of pages turning.

Gao Wen guessed that Fan Sen had probably gone into hiding because he had underestimated his enemy and given them leverage, putting him in a very unfavorable position. He was unlikely to reappear anytime soon.

The patience is only temporary. When it reappears, it will be met with swift and decisive action, regardless of who is superior or inferior, and it will be a matter of life and death.

Perfect timing, Gao Wen needs time to develop.

The knight Hill mentioned was someone he had arranged to meet for a stroll, and perhaps help with a quest if possible. However, when Gawain returned to his dorm from the school cafeteria that evening, he only found a thoroughly embarrassed Hill.

We didn't manage to meet up.

Faced with Gawain's questioning gaze, Hill felt incredibly embarrassed and patted his chest, promising that tomorrow, Monday night, he would bring the man over no matter what.

Seven days a week, another new week begins, and it's Gao Wen's most anticipated physical education class.

The first PE class was a slap in the face, the second PE class was another slap in the face, today's task is to deliver a series of slaps.

It's wonderful to be able to juggle tasks during class, even consecutive tasks!

Unexpectedly, there were no physical education students taking extra classes for credits today. Teacher Leo had a serious face the whole time and was fully engaged in the new students' physical training. When his eyes occasionally met Gao Wen's, it was no different from when he looked at the other students.

No, why did you chicken out?

Gao Wen was very dissatisfied, and the classmates who were waiting to watch the show also had their own thoughts.

Student A: I really am a useless person. A true freshman should make the teacher avoid his sharp edge.

Student B: I knew it. With so many sports students dying, there would definitely be problems.

Student C: Teacher, please tell me that if we avoid confrontation, tolerate each other, bide our time, and seize the opportune moment, you will not give in.

Student D: Keep going! This is much more interesting than peeping at Dad peeping at my second brother peeping at my stepmother's butt at home.

After class, Gao Wen didn't rush to the teaching building to grab a front-row seat for the meditation class. Instead, he followed Leo to a corridor next to the teaching building.

The corridor was in a secluded location, covered with wisteria, and almost no one would come to such a place except for young couples having a secret rendezvous.

Sensing someone behind him, Leo stopped and slowly turned around, his eyes gleaming as he fixed his gaze on Gawain.

"Old Leo..."

"Gao Wen, there were too many people on the playground just now, so I apologize to you."

Leo took a deep breath and said earnestly, "I'm sorry, I was too loud before, and I took benefits from Van Sen to target you in various ways. I no longer associate with Van Sen, and I promise I won't do it again."

"..."

Is it possible that Gao Wen wants you to continue targeting him?

Gawain looked at the honest-looking Leo with surprise, his eyes filled with helplessness, confusion, and disappointment.

Such a good task triggering machine suddenly broke down.

Can you fix it by patting it?

"Gao Wen?"

"Ah! Ah? Ah..."

Gawain was speechless. Leo had put it this way, what could he do? Beat him up relentlessly, or take the opportunity to extort money and demand a hefty sum for emotional distress?

Stop joking, our teacher-student relationship is clear.

He wasn't afraid of making a scene before because Leo was in the wrong, but now that Leo has turned back, it would be unreasonable for him to keep bothering him.

Besides, how could someone who can be a physical education teacher and be responsible for teaching students combat skills be mediocre? In a real fight, Gao Wen estimated that his chances of winning were not high.

It's just a bit frustrating.

If apologies were enough, what would be the point of having police?

“I know that just apologizing isn’t enough. After all, my previous behavior had a serious impact on your physical and mental well-being. It was my fault, and I must make amends.”

Leo pulled a wallet out of his pocket. It was very similar to Vanvich's spatial artifact, except that the internal space was a bit small and could only hold some small items.

For example, two or three hundred thousand yuan.

“Here’s 20, the bribe money Van Sen gave me… It’s all yours.”

Leo gritted his teeth and gave Gawain the wallet as well. The wallet met the core definition of a magical artifact, and after being enchanted, it was worth at least 100,000. If it were a brand name item, the price would be even higher.

Gao Wen's eye twitched: "That's not right, I remember that we can't bring spatial equipment to school."

"In principle, no, but we can let the security department check it carefully." Leo didn't take it seriously; rules are rules, but people are flexible.

A very honest explanation. Gawain couldn't find a point to refute it. He pushed away the wallet that was handed to him: "Teacher Leo, you misunderstood. I'm not the kind of person who holds a grudge. My education doesn't allow me to do that. Now that you've realized your mistake, let's put the past misunderstanding behind us."

"Politeness goes everywhere," Gao Wen's tone immediately softened considerably.

Is this really true?

"My family rules forbid me from lying."

Gawain raised an eyebrow: "Professor Leo, I have a question that I hope you can answer."

"Please speak."

What is the reason behind being arrogant at first and then obsequious?

"I heard Vito took leave to go back to his hometown, and the HR department is arranging recruitment to hire three faculty members." Leo scratched his head, his smile becoming even more amiable.
