Wang Zheng was full of admiration for Commander-in-Chief Li Guofeng, thinking to himself that this big shot was indeed the brain of the national military region, and his methods were undeniable.

Now that the capital has taken the initiative to make concessions and offer a way out, Wang Zheng certainly couldn't be ungrateful, so he went along with it.

It's just a different way of saying it anyway. The capital city side saved face and did some publicity. Their principal actually benefited. As long as they got something substantial, who cares what they say?

Therefore, when asked by the Commander-in-Chief whether he was willing to participate in the research on psionic bombs, Wang Zheng immediately made a decision with a grin.

"No problem. I have already fully realized my mistake, and I am willing to fully cooperate with the country in conducting research."

However, as you know, I am still a student. Not only do I have to go to school, but I am also a member of the Jingnan Military Region. Currently, the activities of the Heavenly Demons in Jingnan are rampant, and I also have to go on missions.

Therefore, I certainly cannot leave southern Beijing for the capital. I'm sure Major General Tang has already reported this requirement, right?

Seeing that Wang Zheng had accepted his proposal, Commander Li Guofeng nodded in satisfaction.

"That's not a problem. The Chinese Academy of Sciences will set up a special research team to live in the Jingnan Military Region. If needed, you can just come back to the military region."

Then the commander-in-chief asked with a hidden meaning:

“1000 kilograms of liquid spiritual energy is not so easy to store. Should I leave it here at the military region, or send it to Nanjing University along with the demon king’s inner core?”

Upon hearing this question, Wang Zheng also felt that the commander-in-chief was cunning and treacherous.

Isn't this blatant attempt to sow discord between me and the military region, and also to see if I'm really doing all this for my own principal...?

Wang Zheng pursed his lips. Who do you think you are? I have a spiritual energy limit of several hundred thousand now. Why would I need to covet the principal's little bit of stuff to restore my strength?

Therefore, without the slightest hesitation, he said directly:

"Send it directly to Nanjing University. Although the kid is weak, he knows how precious this thing is. He's afraid he can't protect it well, so let the principal keep it safe for him."

Seeing that Wang Zheng remained unmoved by this priceless resource, Li Guofeng clapped his hands, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration.

"Well said, as expected of the loyal and righteous King Zheng of Jingnan, you truly live up to your reputation. Hehe, then I won't take out this liquid spiritual energy; I'll just give it to your principal later..."

Wang Zheng rolled his eyes while looking down.

'That old man is really wicked; he's trying to seduce me.'

Don't you think about it? With my relationship with Old Man Chu, what difference would it make whether I'm in the military region or at Nanjing University?

Even if I really wanted to line my own pockets, even if the things were all in Old Man Chu's hands, wouldn't I still be able to take them whenever I wanted?

Besides, this liquid spiritual energy is nominally his own; Old Man Li really went to great lengths…

Although it was just a matter of securing supplies, Li Guofeng was essentially testing Wang Zheng to see if he could stay true to himself in the face of huge profits.

Surprisingly, after Wang Zheng chose to give all the liquid spiritual energy to his principal, the two bigwigs of the Jingnan Military Region were not angry.

Instead, his gaze towards Wang Zheng was filled with admiration, his smug expression seeming to say:

"Look, this is the great young man we cultivated in Jingnan. He values ​​loyalty and friendship over personal gain!"

However, Wang Zheng was not so easily fooled and did not lose his mind amidst the approving glances of the bigwigs.

Once everything was basically settled, the three bigwigs were exchanging pleasantries with each other.

Seeing that Commander Li Guofeng looked like he was about to leave, Wang Zheng quickly cleared his throat and continued:

"Commander-in-Chief, is there something else we haven't discussed?"

Li Guofeng, who had already been about to get up, turned back to his seat after hearing Wang Zheng's words.

"Oh, Major Wang, do you have any other questions?"

Meeting Li Guofeng's puzzled gaze, Wang Zheng took a deep breath, then mustered his courage and stammered:

"Well, the principal's matter is all resolved, but I still have a problem. The demon king I killed in the demon king battlefield... that mastiff king..."

Seeing the amused look in Li Guofeng's eyes, Wang Zheng mustered his courage and stated his conditions.

"An inner core!"

The bold get rich, the timid starve!

If he doesn't seize this opportunity now, he'll never be able to sleep when he thinks about it after he dies!

Seeing that Li Guofeng was about to speak, Wang Zheng quickly interjected:

"It's fine if you don't give it to me; you can keep it for our principal!"

Although three demon king inner cores were his target price, he didn't know if anyone in the country had actually anticipated it or if that was all they were willing to give. But that didn't stop him from actively seeking benefits.

Anyway, Li Guofeng just said that the three demon king cores were a gift to the heroes. Although I, Major Wang, am not injured and do not want the gifts, at least you should give me my spoils of war.

"Cough...cough...cough..."

Gu Min, who was standing to the side, knew he was in trouble the moment he heard Wang Zheng say he had something else to do, but he never expected that Wang Zheng would be so bold.

The Commander-in-Chief himself came to Jingnan and already met his demands, yet this brat still dares to push his luck here.

He then immediately began coughing wildly, signaling to Wang Zheng not to be too rude and to stop while he was ahead.

Commander Sun Zhongren also felt a chill run down his spine and quickly tried to explain.
