"Principal, please give me some face in public. I am, after all, a lieutenant representing the Jingnan Military Region. What's the point of constantly dragging me down like this? I feel ashamed, not you."

Chu Tianxing's expression turned stern.

"You brat, trying to intimidate me with the military region now? Let me ask you, what was the situation with that beast before? Where did you get it from?"

"Where else could I have gotten them from? Of course, it was in Yunnan. How would I know what happened? I was singing to the ants while I was brushing them up, and they came over to mess with me."

These creatures are close to anteaters, the natural enemies of ants. Their arrival caused all the flying soldier ants to flee.

"I had no income, so I had no choice but to kill them all."

"That's strange, how could a new type of alien beast appear?"

Seeing Chu Tianxing deep in thought, Wang Zheng rolled his eyes dismissively.

"This is a Red Armored Beast, a special exotic beast from South America, an evolved form of the Armadillo family. I have already reported all the relevant information."

Chu Tianxing noticed Wang Zheng's disdain, but his face was more serious than ever before.

"Nonsense, how could I not know this is a Crimson Armored Beast? What I mean is, there has never been any trace of this kind of beast in Yunnan or even in any region of China. Isn't its sudden appearance a new discovery?"

Looking at Chu Tianxing's expression, Wang Zheng was unsure whether his principal genuinely knew him or was trying to cover for him.

However, Wang Zheng quickly stopped dwelling on the issue; now he was ready to start his business.

Wang Zheng mysteriously took out a "Queen's Honey Dew" from his storage space and handed it to Chu Tianxing, then whispered furtively:

"How about it? Good stuff, right? I didn't even give it to the military region. If I sold it to the school, how would I get paid? I only want the spirit crystals!"

She looked exactly like the auntie selling CDs under the overpass and the conman selling mobile phones at the train station.

Chu Tianxing's face twitched, as if recalling the heartbreaking scene a few months ago when he, a superb expert, hunted down alien beasts in Da Meng for the sake of the school.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say to this money-grubber, but if I asked him to give it up, he really couldn't bear to part with such a good thing.

Chu Tianxing knew his stuff; after hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke:

"If you exchange it with spirit crystals, it'll probably cost 3 to 5 crystals per crystal, depending on the quality. However, these are rare, so the actual price is hard to say."

Wang Zheng immediately flew into a rage when he heard that it was so cheap.

"So cheap? Principal, are you kidding me?"

This is Queen Honeydew, produced by the Queen Ant herself, and you can drink it directly! The absorbable portion is much higher than that of spiritual energy crystals.

"Principal, you're being unfair! I always try to supply the best things to the school first, but you're relentlessly trying to drive down my prices. If you keep doing this, I'll just sell them to the military region."

Hearing Wang Zheng's unreasonable arguments, Chu Tianxing felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger.

However, he had to admire Wang Zheng's methods of finding treasures. He had just gone out of the city during the day and not only captured the queen ant alive, but also three foreign exotic beasts of the fifth rank. It was estimated that this kid had wiped out the entire ant colony in one fell swoop.

Does Chu Tianxing possess such strength?

have!

But can he do it?

It's impossible.

Even if he were lucky enough to encounter them, and he killed them all, he still wouldn't be able to bring back the Queen Ant and the Three-Headed Crimson Armored Beast, unless Old Chu was willing to swallow his pride and spend a lot of time dragging them back from the ground.

Otherwise, when it comes to collecting materials from the corpses of alien beasts, Old Chu really is no match for Wang Zheng.

Seeing that the little brat kept glancing at him with suspicious eyes, Chu Tianxing immediately cursed in an annoyed tone:

"Go ask around about the market price yourself. Why would I rip you off? This thing is being sold to the school, not to me. Even if you gave it to me, I wouldn't want it. Go back to the school and sell it yourself!"

Wang Zheng was still somewhat incredulous, so he immediately washed the honey off his hands, then cracked open the thick outer shell and swallowed the honey-like liquid inside in one gulp.

Although Wang Zheng said he found it dirty, his body language betrayed him, scraping the juice inside clean with his fingers.

Chu Tianxing got angry at his appearance and kicked him, sending him tumbling.

"Would you like to stick your tongue in and lick it too?"

Hearing Old Man Chu's mockery, Wang Zheng blinked, put down the "large egg" in his hand, and withdrew his tongue that he had just been about to stick out.

Looking at the data panel, where the spiritual energy value had only increased by a little over 300 points, Wang Zheng was speechless.

'That Queen's Dew is utter nonsense. It's not even as good as two low-level spirit crystals. It's all water.'

Wang Zheng immediately made the decision:

"It's changed, one to five it is one to five."

Principal, I have twenty-two left, I'll sell you nineteen, so it'll be twenty.

I'll keep the remaining three for Xiaoman, Wu Huan, and Mei Yiqi, and say they're rewards from you.

So, I ended up losing two coins, but they're all classmates, so I won't hold it against them.

There are 100 low-grade spirit crystals in total. I know you don't have that many on you right now, so let's draw up a note first, and I'll get them when I go back to school. Please sign it.

Before Chu Tianxing could speak, Wang Zheng neatly arranged the nineteen "Queen's Honey Dew" on the table and quickly took out paper and pen to start writing.
