Chu Jingnan knew that his old man had a small storage ring, which he had commissioned from the state after he accidentally encountered and killed a Devouring Beast in his early years.
Even he wouldn't be interested in that tiny bit of space.
Such rare and precious materials often depend entirely on luck; no matter how strong you are, it's useless if you don't encounter them.
In the early years, most of the Fel Devourers were hunted down, and the vast majority of storage equipment and raw materials for crafting are now in the hands of the state.
He knew Wang Zheng's background very well, so it was impossible for him not to be curious about how Wang Zheng got these materials back.
Chu Jingnan was quite interested in the sudden appearance of such a large storage device.
Although he knew in his heart that Wang Zheng must have his own methods, he didn't ask any more questions. After all, everyone has their own secrets, right?
But as he looked at the huge number of alien beast corpses piled up on the ground, he suddenly remembered that according to Wang Zheng and the old man, the two of them only met up when they returned, and then went straight back to Jingnan.
During this time, Wang Zheng also took the time to rescue survivors from a shelter. So, it seems that these high-level alien beasts could only have been killed by this kid himself.
As Chu Jingnan considered this, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
"What happened in Yunnan was a siege by strange beasts, meaning this kid fought his way out of the beast tide all by himself. In other words, is this kid stronger than me now?"
This sudden idea left Chu Jingnan somewhat incredulous.
He took two steps forward and looked at the smooth, mirror-like cuts on the necks of those strange beasts (thanks to the bone knife, not Wang Zheng's superior knife skills), and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
Chu Jingnan carefully examined the young man in front of him; he knew Wang Zheng quite well.
'This kid is a healer; besides his incredible brute strength, he doesn't have any other offensive methods.'
In other words, when faced with a massive horde of beasts, this guy not only withstood the onslaught but also had the option to fight back?
The thought of being in the same enclosed basement room with someone who was a top-tier hand-to-hand combat expert, whether in the healing or superhuman category, and being so close to each other, filled Chu Jingnan with a strange mix of emotions.
He carefully savored the tension, and with his mind blank, he involuntarily took a few steps back.
For a moment, Chu Jingnan squinted at Wang Zheng, who was still stubbornly spouting nonsense in an attempt to get more credits, and his thoughts seemed to fly back to the battlefield thousands of kilometers away.
The thought of this guy traversing the battlefield teeming with strange beasts all by himself, constantly reaping their lives, filled him with a strange sense of excitement.
Although he has always presented a calm and collected image, deep down he still possesses the same passionate spirit as Chu Tianxing, only he has been suppressing it due to some past events.
Looking at the shameless, brazen look of the kid in front of him, Chu Jingnan found it hard to connect this freshman with the infamous killing god who had made a name for himself on the Yunnan-Guizhou battlefield.
He couldn't help but give a wry smile.
'My judgment of character isn't as accurate as the old man's. Wang Zheng had some skill before, but that was about it. But this time, this kid's going to become famous throughout the land…'
Wang Zheng looked at Chu Jingnan, who was still staring blankly into space, and gradually stopped talking.
Thinking to himself, this Da Chu is indeed different from Old Man Chu. No wonder he wears gold-rimmed glasses and a suit; he is worthy of this attire.
He was clearly an old capitalist, a shrewd businessman. I was practically talking myself hoarse, but he didn't say a word.
After a long while, Chu Jingnan finally came to his senses when the empty underground space returned to silence.
He looked at Wang Zheng, who was staring at him expectantly, and couldn't help but find it a little funny.
Look at all this blood and gore. There are so many high-level beasts here. Even if only half of them contain spirit crystals, the spirit crystals that Wang Zheng just pulled out would fetch an astronomical sum if sold.
Chu Jingnan shook his head.
I don't know where this kid's greedy nature comes from. What's the use of having so many resources? He can't possibly use them all.
Moreover, I've heard that this guy is not short of money at all, but he can't resist anything good and tries to stuff it into his pocket. It seems that the first time my daughter met him, he almost robbed her.
Could he possibly consume all these cultivation resources and turn them into strength?
Or is his motivation for cultivation simply to earn more resources?
Chu Jingnan naturally never imagined that his wild guesses would actually be so close to the truth.
However, upon further reflection, he thought of how Wang Zheng had risked his life to bring the old man back, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"Just consider it repaying a favor. What's the use of giving him more credits? Besides, with the limited pool of credits at my school, he might not even be interested..."
