Hearing Wang Zheng suddenly talking seriously about the future development of Blue Star, Zhao Yucai looked gratified.
“I’m glad you could think of these things. Actually, we’ve been trying to do what you’re talking about, but as you said, 27 years seems like a long time.”
But for a new era that has emerged from nothing and created something new, these past twenty-odd years are still too short. There are still so many things we want to do, but unfortunately, time waits for no one..."
Zhao Yucai sighed deeply, composed himself, and continued:
"As for whether there are related techniques and cultivation methods in the cave, who knows?"
This group of people has always been very secretive. Although we have made relevant requests, they have always been vague and evasive. I think it is very likely that they regard it as a precious secret that is not to be passed on.
It's funny, they were beings who entered the cultivation era earlier than us, and were the first realm to be targeted, yet they didn't understand the principle that when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact.
It can only be said that this group of people only reluctantly united with us under the pressure of the Heavenly Demon; they were no longer on the same side…
At this point, Zhao Yucai became serious and instructed Wang Zheng:
"Wang Zheng, remember this: if you ever encounter these people in the future, be careful. Even among the Awakened on Blue Star, there are still conflicts, let alone these outsiders!"
But as soon as he said those words, Zhao Yucai regretted it.
For no other reason than seeing Wang Zheng frown and ponder deeply again, his mature-beyond-his-years appearance made one unable to help but overthink.
Zhao Yucai stopped mid-sentence, suddenly realizing he was putting too much pressure on the young man. He gently patted Wang Zheng's shoulder and said softly:
"It's my fault. I always felt that you were so strong that you should take on more responsibilities, but I always forgot that you are just a child."
"Alright, alright, I won't put so much pressure on you. Although the future will ultimately belong to you young people, I don't feel old yet..."
Having pulled Wang Zheng out of his heavy thoughts, Zhao Yucai did not intend to continue the topic.
"Alright, that's enough for today. Let's go. Next, I'll take you to see where you're staying. Don't go out and have fun this summer. Take some time to relax and cooperate with our inspection work."
Don't look at me like that. You can make any requests you have. Who wants your status as the first person in the country with all-around extraordinary attributes, and one that's so powerful? Who else would we study if not you...?
Wang Zheng had originally thought that after the inspection was finished, they could discuss the ownership of the treasures in the ruins and then he could return to Jingnan. He hadn't expected Old Zhao to pull this stunt at the last minute, and he instinctively refused:
"Can't we not stay? There are so many things to do at school, and it's almost time for the new semester to start. Plus, my mom is about to undergo a metamorphosis. If you really want to discuss going to southern Beijing, how about it? I promise I'll cooperate!"
Seeing Wang Zheng looking so uncomfortable, Zhao Yucai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"What are you worried about, kid? Is the capital city more terrifying than those ruins teeming with demon kings? Of course, if you insist on leaving, there's nothing I can do. After all, you're stronger now, and you've got more wings..."
He paused for a moment, then deliberately spoke slowly:
"It's a pity. I was originally planning to persuade Old Li to share some of the benefits from the ruins with you under the guise of testing. It seems you, Principal Wang, don't appreciate it. Never mind then, you can go back now, forget I said anything!"
Wang Zheng: Huh!? Such a good thing? That makes sense. With my current strength, they should be the ones worrying, not me! Damn, I'm used to being so calm…
Upon hearing that there was a demon king's inner core as a benefit, Young Master Wang, who had just used up all his spiritual energy, immediately became restless and changed his tune without the slightest embarrassment.
"I must stay! I'll fight anyone who tries to stop me from cooperating with the country! What are these little things compared to the national interest!"
Then Wang Zheng, practically drooling, shamelessly asked Zhao Yucai:
"Those demon king inner cores scattered all over the ground, there must be at least two or three hundred of them. How many can I get? Slurp~"
That's why he's a leader; he managed to completely control Young Master Wang with just a few words.
Seeing Wang Zheng's shameless behavior, Zhao Yucai felt much more relaxed and smiled at Wang Zheng:
"You, you're never serious. Even with your immense strength, you don't feel safe. But the mention of a few demon king cores makes you unable to move. Sigh, really..."
Although Young Master Wang's strength has soared, he has still spent too little time in this world. To say that he could immediately possess the demeanor of a grandmaster after transcending the mortal realm would be an understatement; he would have been possessed by another body.
Besides, how can a person's character be changed so easily? With Wang Xiaokou's greedy nature, he'll probably never be a good person in this lifetime.
After receiving Zhao Yucai's promise, Wang Zheng finally settled down in the Imperial Capital Military Region.
However, Lao Li and Lao Zhao were indeed very kind to him, giving him whatever he wanted.
Not only were high-grade spiritual energy crystals and spiritual energy liquids readily available, but even several demon king inner cores were given to Wang Zheng for testing.
Who can blame him when this kid is currently the only one who has raised his attributes to this level?
Others can only envy this.
Wang Zheng wanted to absorb all the inner cores tested at once, but after he absorbed the tenth inner core, Li Guofeng made an excuse about being busy with military affairs and disappeared in a flash.
With the God of Wealth, who was in charge of the national treasury, gone, the remaining inner elixir naturally didn't go to Young Master Wang.
After all, if a grandmaster throws down ten inner cores and hundreds of kilograms of liquid spiritual energy, the total amount of spiritual energy would still be over 700,000. Where did all that spiritual energy go?
You can't exactly say that everyone's pooped out, can you? There's no sign of the spiritual energy concentration in the toilet increasing!
Wang Zheng is clearly a bottomless pit. No matter how much resources you pour in, you won't hear a sound. Who can withstand this greedy creature that never gives back? It's better to cut your losses in time.
As for him clamoring to go back to Jingnan because of this?
Whether you reply or not is up to you!
As for Young Master Wang himself, he only realized he had gone too far when the new inner core stopped being delivered and Li Guofeng stopped coming to find him.
But he had an explanation.
"You can't blame me for this. The highest spiritual energy cap among you is only seventy or eighty thousand. I've increased it by seventy or eighty thousand in a week, which is quite a lot. If I didn't use it to upgrade my skills, it would have directly become a million or so and scared you all to death. Who would be responsible then? If I had known Old Li was so stingy, I would have increased it by more..."
