Douluo Continent: I Moved the Entire Dragon King

Chapter 47 Mu En was suffering inside, but he didn't say it.

Although Beibei didn't have a specific concept of the total amount of Sea God Pavilion's inventory, he knew very well what the words "a quarter of Shrek Academy's inventory" meant.

That means thousands of years of accumulation, and countless generations of Shrek people bringing back rare and precious materials from various dangerous places.

If the first two are like cutting off flesh, then this one is like sucking out tendons and marrow!

Moon remained silent for a long time.

His cloudy old eyes were fixed on the screen, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest of his wheelchair, as if he were engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

Finally, he slowly raised his head, looked at Bei Xin, and said in a tone that carried a hint of negotiation, "Brother Bei Xin."

"A quarter of the total is indeed far too large."

"This will shake the foundations of Shrek Academy."

"Could we reduce it a little bit? Like one-tenth?"

Moon tried to bargain.

However, when faced with Moon's request, Bei Xin simply smiled faintly, without the slightest intention of backing down.

"Sect Leader Mu, I think you've misunderstood something."

Bei Xin pointed to the tablet in Moon's hand: "This list is for reference only."

"What do you mean?"

Moon was taken aback.

"It means—"

Bei Xin's smile deepened.

"You just need to refer to the numbers above to make the payment."

"No bargaining accepted."

"Either give it all to us, or—leave the person behind."

"you!!"

Upon hearing this, Old Lin couldn't hold back any longer.

She took a sudden step forward, and the fluctuations of her soul power instantly became intense, her well-preserved old face flushed with anger.

"This is outrageous!"

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

Old Lin pointed at Bei Xin, his fingers trembling: "This is blatant robbery! They're trying to drive Shrek Academy to its doom!"

"You're asking for our millennia-old legacy? Aren't you afraid of being overwhelmed?!"

Faced with Elder Lin's questioning, Bei Xin remained standing with his hands behind his back, not even lifting his eyelids.

That arrogant attitude, that complete disregard for the elders of Shrek Academy, made Elder Lin feel like he had punched cotton, feeling extremely frustrated. This kind of attitude was clearly something only the people of Shrek Academy had ever shown to others. When did it become someone else's turn to show it to him?

"You can accept these conditions or not."

Bei Xin said slowly, "We never force anyone to buy or sell."

"only----

His gaze swept across the tightly closed door of the solitary confinement cell, and he said in a low voice, "If you don't accept this, then these people will probably have to stay here for a long time."

Threat!

A blatant threat!

Old Lin clenched his fist tightly, his nails digging deep into his palm.

What does it mean to be able to accept something or not?

This is clearly holding a knife to their throats and forcing them to accept! If they don't accept, and the news gets out that Shrek Academy's top combatants are locked up in solitary confinement, it will severely damage Shrek Academy's reputation!

"Elder Mu!"

Old Lin turned to look at Mu En, his eyes filled with resentment: "We can't agree to that!"

"If we agree, how will we explain it to the other elders in the academy? How will we explain it to our ancestors?"

Mu En closed his eyes. At that moment, this once-powerful Limit Douluo seemed to have aged ten years.

"well----"

A long sigh, filled with endless desolation.

Moon opened his eyes again and then slowly spoke.

"We accept."

"What?!"

Old Lin looked at Mu En in disbelief and exclaimed, "Old Mu?! You—"

She truly couldn't believe it.

Old Master Mu actually agreed?

Mu En waved his hand, stopping Elder Lin from trying to dissuade him.

"Huiqun, there's no need for further words."

There's no way.

Mu En looked at Old Lin, a helpless glint in his eyes: "Things are inanimate, but people are alive."

"Those herbs are stored in the storeroom; although they are precious, they are just inanimate objects."

"But Shao Zhe and Xuan Zi are living, breathing people, titled Douluo, the future and present pillars of the academy."

.

"For Shrek, their value far exceeds that of inanimate objects."

"As long as people are still alive, resources—can be earned back one day."

Upon hearing Moon's words, Beibei, who was standing to the side, was suddenly shocked.

Looking at the elderly man in the wheelchair, a feeling of respect welled up in his eyes.

Is this the demeanor of the Sea God Pavilion Master?

Is this the vision of Xuanzu?

Faced with such immense humiliation and loss, he was able to calmly weigh the pros and cons, maintain his composure, and not be swayed by his emotions.

If it were Xuanzi and the others, they would probably have already started fighting and been locked up. But... a quarter of them, plus the two conditions mentioned earlier, is truly a crippling blow to Shrek Academy.

Moon's analysis was also correct. Although Shrek Academy had a wealth of resources, they were not used very often and were mostly just kept as reserves.

Actually... Moon didn't want any calm deliberation. If this hadn't happened, Shrek Academy wouldn't have needed to suffer such a huge loss. Even he himself felt guilty for letting down the predecessors of Shrek Academy by losing so much money.

Hopefully, after spending a great deal of effort to get Xuanzi and the others out, they will be more cautious in their actions in the future.

""

Since Moon, the top decision-maker, had already put it this way, Old Lin, though heartbroken, had nothing to say.

However, after his anger subsided, Old Lin's mind began to work at lightning speed.

"Hmph, I've agreed."

"but----"

Old Lin's eyes darted around slightly, a cunning thought flashing through his mind: "These guys are, after all, outsiders."

"How could they possibly know exactly how much inventory Shrek Academy has?"

"That so-called quarter, isn't that something we decide?"

"At that time—"

Old Lin was secretly planning: "I'll just have someone send over a random batch of herbs that look plentiful and precious, and pretend that this is only a quarter of what's available."

"In reality, it's probably less than one-tenth!"

"Anyway, they can't verify it!"

Thinking of this, Old Lin's expression softened slightly.

Fortunately, there's still room for maneuver.

Although there will definitely be some losses, as long as it is handled properly, it will not really deplete our savings.

This is called "all's fair in war"!

However, just as Old Lin was basking in his own cleverness...

"Since you've agreed, things will be much easier."

Bei Xin seemed to see through Lin Lao's thoughts, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"To ensure the fairness of the transaction, and to prevent certain unnecessary errors —"

"We will use specialized machines to detect and count the inventory of medical supplies at Shrek Academy."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Old Lin's face turned deathly pale, even more so than before.

With a flick of his wrist, a small, silver-white metal sphere, no bigger than a fist, appeared in his palm.

"This is a fully automated resource auditing drone."

"It possesses state-of-the-art space scanning and material analysis technologies."

"As long as you bring it into your storeroom, even if it's hidden deep underground or in a secret room sealed with a soul-guided array, it can scan it clearly in an instant."

"Accurate down to each and every single herb."

"Absolutely nothing is missed."

—"

Old Lin was completely desperate.

It’s over.

Even the last illusion was shattered.

Their technical skills completely outclassed her cleverness.

"Sect Master Mu."

Bei Xin tossed the metal ball in his hand and looked at Moon: "If you want to redeem him, please go back now."

"Have her take this little one back to your esteemed institution, and wait until the supplies have been inventoried and delivered—"

"We will naturally release those in solitary confinement."

Moon glanced at the small ball, his heart filled with mixed emotions. Was this also the power of Soul Guidance Technology?

He turned his head, looked at Old Lin, whose face had turned ashen, and sighed: "Huiqun, go."

"Prepare the items as requested by Brother Bei Xin."

"This matter should be addressed sooner rather than later."

"Old Master Mu—"

Old Lin opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he could only let out a powerless sigh.

"Yes, I understand."

She took the metal sphere that Bei Xin handed her, which was floating in the air.

"snort!"

Old Lin snorted coldly, glared fiercely at Bei Xin, then turned to look at Mu En, his eyes full of worry.

"Old Mu, what about you and Beibei—"

"It's alright."

Moon waved his hand.

"Beibei and I will stay in this school for now and take a short walk around."

After saying that, Moon turned to Bei Xin and asked with a smile, "Brother Bei Xin, is it alright for us to take a tour of the academy?"

Bei Xin readily agreed, "Of course."

"Thank you very much."

Moon bowed in thanks.
