Chapter 29: Strong Leadership
"You people have such a strong desire to kill."
"Why is everyone thinking about killing?"
"Killing is illegal!"
Yu Sheng scratched his head in agony.
In just a few days, several people had repeatedly brought up the topic of murder in conversation with him.
It even gave him an illusion...
Perhaps the people in Sin City were friendlier.
Du Xu was somewhat gloomy and took a while to organize his thoughts before explaining again, "I'm not very articulate, what I mean is... I want to become stronger."
"You'll become stronger if you go bald!"
Yu Sheng, recalling a comic he had seen online not long ago, spoke earnestly.
Du Xu pondered silently and didn't continue the conversation.
Meanwhile, Yu Sheng leaned against the window, finally able to enjoy a moment of peace.
Over these few days, he had continuously absorbed the grey energy, and the base of the Loong Pattern Staff in the Scroll had completely solidified, but the egg showed no reaction at all.
It was as if the two were not related.
Could his previous guess have been wrong?
For a moment, Yu Sheng fell into deep thought.
...
Back at school, almost all the students had chosen to go home.
However, Wang Wenxuan showed no intention of leaving; instead, he shamelessly stuck close to Yu Sheng, claiming he needed to protect him from potential dangers and accompanied him to Baichun to exchange money.
Just before leaving, Zhao Zicheng gave Yu Sheng a mysterious look, while Du Xu hurried off as if he had grasped the true essence of life.
"Hehe, Yu Sheng."
"Do you think we've had enough rest?"
"Should we..."
Wang Wenxuan rubbed his hands together, grinning mischievously, completely lacking the demeanor of a master.
Yu Sheng gave him a deep look: "I just got off the train."
"No rush, then. Take your time to rest."
Wang Wenxuan laughed awkwardly, following closely behind Yu Sheng, never straying a step, and fidgeting awkwardly.
It was hard to imagine that this man, known as 'Madman Wang' in Baichun, praised by countless people, could have such an honest day.
After all, even when his boss scolded him, he dared to talk back.
Money...
Indeed, it solves everything.
How can a hero stoop for rice
Only if it's made of gold.
...
"I'm here to submit my task."
Yu Sheng pushed open the door to the Principal's office and said, looking at the Principal's somewhat balding head.
The Principal, with a warm smile on his face, responded, "I've heard, but the results of the assessment aren't out yet, and the exact rankings are still uncertain. Since this is a transaction, let's wait until everything is settled..."
Yu Sheng nodded in agreement, then turned to Wang Wenxuan: "What place do you think I should come in?"
"First!"
"Definitely first!"
Wang Wenxuan said without hesitation.
Yu Sheng turned back to the Principal: "Now... I'm first."
Principal: ???
Are you joking with me?
What do you mean you're first just like that?
Asking a random person their opinion and whatever they say goes?
What kind of nonsense is this!
Fraud!
Definitely fraud!
Even the lowest grade demon crystal is very expensive.

Three...
"May I ask who this is?" the Principal said, maintaining his dignity without getting angry, still with a spring-like smile as he looked towards Wang Wenxuan.
"He seems to be... from the provincial office," Yu Sheng said somewhat uncertainly, adding, "Um, he should have a say in this assessment."
As soon as Yu Sheng's words fell, it seemed as if a breeze blew by his side.
Looking again, the Principal had already swiftly moved past Yu Sheng with agility not matching his age, and was vigorously shaking Wang Wenxuan's hand.
"Oh, it turns out to be a leader from the provincial office, my apologies for the oversight."
Upgraded spring-like charm!
Beaming with joy!
Even carrying a hint of anticipation, delight, and respect.
For a moment, the Principal's small eyes seemed to display a variety of emotions simultaneously, and compared to Yu Sheng's clumsy acting, the Principal could easily be described as an Oscar-worthy actor.
His prematurely balding forehead even reflected a faint glow in the sunlight.
"No wonder he's a leader from the provincial office, so young and successful, and handsome too."
"Unlike our small place, alas..."
Speaking, the Principal's face bore a perfectly measured touch of sorrow as he sighed softly, "No money, no resources, just watching one prodigy after another remain mediocre due to lack of resources."
"As Principal, it pains me deeply!"
"Now that I think about it, I almost wish I could use my aging, frail body, dragging along my serious illness, to go to Demon-Suppressing Pass again, to fight and snatch for these poor children."
"To secure their ladder of progress!"
The Principal's words were powerful and his eyes were filled with the passionate blood of one willing to die for humanity and his students.
The entire office was filled with a sense of tragic grandeur.
Wang Wenxuan looked somewhat bemused at the Principal, who was just over forty and still in his prime, and was momentarily lost for words.
Is this what you call aged?
A frail body?
And where exactly is the serious illness?
But the atmosphere he created was indeed impressive, so much so that even Wang Wenxuan felt the blood in his veins begin to stir.
"Director Sun?"
"Come here!"
The Principal opened the door and called out.
A middle-aged woman with thick glasses and a solemn expression, looking very strict, walked over from next door, looking at the Principal.
"Go, have the cafeteria prepare a good meal."
"Today I wish to have a heartfelt discussion and drink deeply with this leader from the province!"
"I believe the leader will see our difficulties and grant us funding."
The words 'province', 'leader', 'funding' were emphasized heavily by the Principal, and in Wang Wenxuan's somewhat puzzled look, it seemed as if something was implicitly settled.
"School rule number three: No extravagant waste."
"This counts as misappropriation of public funds."
Director Sun adjusted her glasses and said quietly.
"Deduct it from my salary!"
"Don't let the leader see us in a bad light!"
The Principal glared at Director Sun, teeth clenched, each word deliberate!
"Very well, Principal." Director Sun nodded, turned, and walked away, her entire demeanor devoid of any superfluous chatter.
Meanwhile, the Principal turned back with a smile, his face crowding together like a blossoming flower: "May I know in which department the leader serves?"
"Reserve Forces."
Wang Wenxuan said somewhat groggily.
The next second...
The smile on the Principal's face gradually froze, and the hand that was holding Wang Wenxuan's slowly let go: "Oh..."
"Reserve Forces, huh."
After murmuring this, the Principal hurriedly rushed out, and his shouts could still be heard in the hallway: "Director Sun, come back!"
"Forget what I just said!"
"My word... why are you so efficient!"
"How can you have sent the menu to the kitchen in just a few minutes??"
The Principal's despairing wails echoed down the hallway.
