At this point, Wang Zheng put on a pretentious, melancholic expression, almost bursting into tears.
However, it wasn't that he lacked the ability; it was just that Wang Zheng himself felt it was a bit fake, and he understood the principle of moderation.
Li Guofeng, enjoying Wang Zheng's performance, found it amusing to see the kid using his own principal as a pity tool again. After trying to suppress his laughter, he spread his hands and decided to tease the kid.
"I'm afraid we can't exchange the inner core. It's not worth enough. You were able to kill the demon king yourself, so how could you not distinguish the value of the demon king's corpse from the inner core?"
Wang Zheng was prepared for this, and he thought that Wang Zheng's careful consideration along the way was a waste of time.
So Wang Zheng immediately followed up on Li Guofeng's words and said:
"Look, you admit that I killed the demon king. If you really think it's not worth it, then give me back the demon king's corpse."
And I only want the King of Mastiffs, I don't want the others!
I've heard that eating dog gallbladders can clear the liver, improve eyesight, stop bleeding, and promote blood circulation. I'd like to try it..."
Our young master Wang already knew from Yan Hao that the equipment made from the dismembered Mastiff King had already been distributed. Now, where are we going to find the Mastiff King's corpse for him...?
Li Guofeng never expected that he would be tricked by this kid before he left, and he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
He had seen many talented young people before. With a population of hundreds of millions in China, there had been quite a few geniuses.
Let alone a 17-year-old A-level, there have been grandmasters in their early twenties.
It's important to understand that the difference between Grade A and Grade General is not just a matter of one grade; the difference in the quality of spiritual energy is immeasurable.
Even without considering the mathematical representation, just looking at the attribute points alone, the effect is at least doubled.
As for Wang Zheng's special fire ability, such a powerful special elemental ability is rare, but other special abilities do exist.
But he had never encountered someone who possessed both of these qualities and had the audacity to play tricks on him and use linguistic traps before; this was the first time he had ever met one.
To be honest, whether it was Wang Zheng's strength, his special abilities, or the little tricks he deliberately displayed, none of these things made the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese military look at him with new respect.
What truly interested Li Guofeng in this young man was Wang Zheng's pure heart and his concern for his principal.
He said he came specifically for Wang Zheng, and that wasn't entirely untrue. He had originally planned to come and see this young man who had shone brightly in Yunnan and caused a confrontation between the Beijing Military Region and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Let's see what this kid is capable of.
Having experienced it firsthand, I can only say that the result was pretty good, even more interesting than I had imagined...
Thinking of this, Li Guofeng shook his head helplessly. He decided to treat it as an investment. It was a good thing to be able to help such an outstanding young person grow up as quickly as possible.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a small box carved from white jade from his storage equipment and threw it at Wang Zheng, while laughing and cursing:
"I don't know if a dog can be blind, but it can definitely be outrageous. You're officially on my radar now. If you dare to cause trouble in the future, I won't let you off the hook!"
"No, no, I wouldn't dare! Thank you, Commander!"
The box, which looked very precious, flew over, and Wang Zheng knew exactly what was inside.
He said thank you, but his thieving eyes seemed glued to the box, not daring to look away for a moment. Then he reached out and caught the jade box steadily.
The thought that he had just casually mentioned something and actually obtained an extra demon king's inner core filled Wang Zheng with excitement.
He squinted, his fingers gently rubbing the cool touch of the white jade box, feeling the suppressed fluctuations in his hand, his mouth almost watering.
However, one should still be wary of others. He quickly opened the jade box, glanced at the golden inner core inside, and then poked it with his finger.
After confirming through the data panel that it was indeed the Demon King's inner core, Wang Zheng happily tucked the box into his pocket and put it away.
Seeing Wang Zheng's greedy expression and distrustful attitude, Li Guofeng was both amused and exasperated. His face immediately hardened, and he angrily rebuked him:
"What do you mean by this, kid? Do you think I would lie to you?!"
When Wang Zheng saw that the big boss was angry, he quickly tried to defend himself.
"No, no, it's a misunderstanding, Commander-in-Chief, you've misunderstood..."
I'm just naive, yes, naive. I was just curious, just looking around, really, just looking around, nothing more..."
Seeing the young man clutching his chest, looking like he wouldn't give it back no matter what, Li Guofeng couldn't help but break into a smile. Then, suppressing a laugh, he said to Wang Zheng:
"You brat, this inner core is a personal gift from me to you, as a way of recognizing your contributions in Yunnan."
Whether you leave it to your principal or use it yourself is up to you; it's your own spoils, and you have the right to dispose of them as you see fit.
"Work hard from now on and strive to make greater contributions to the country and society. Do you understand?"
"yes!"
Wang Zheng stood ramrod straight, saluted, and replied loudly.
As for pulling another stunt like, "This one was a freebie, I haven't received the one I exchanged yet..."
Wang Zheng wouldn't dare.
He's reckless, not stupid. If he actually does that, not only will he upset this big shot, but he might also implicate Old Chu.
