"Alright then, what kind of weapon do you want?" Chu Tianxing decided to stop teasing the kid.
Wang Zheng covered the microphone with one hand and turned to ask his mother, "Mom, what weapon is the most precious?"
Li Liang thought for a moment and replied, "All weapons, like superpowers, are ranked from F to A, from lowest to highest. Weapons are made by fusing materials from exotic beasts with special metals. The higher the material grade, the more materials are used and the more precious they are."
Wang Zheng realized what was happening instantly.
"Principal Chu, I need a hammer! A long-handled, solid hammer will do, preferably with a round head and spikes, and the heavier the better. It has to be a hammer, not a spiked club, and it needs to be grade A."
Chu Tianxing anticipated that this kid would make an outrageous demand, so he immediately refused.
"A hammer is fine, but A-grade materials are out of the question. I can only give you F-grade materials. Giving you a high-grade weapon would be a waste since you've only just awakened."
At this moment, Wang Zheng spoke up again: "Principal, there's no need for us to keep haggling like this."
I said A-grade, you said F-grade; I said B-grade, you said E-grade; then I said C-grade, you said D-grade; in the end, I still got a C-grade weapon.
It's exhausting to go around in circles like this. For a leader like you, it would be a loss of face to do this over a weapon.
Let's compromise and each give the other a C-grade hammer.
"It's not that I'm unwilling to give you weapons made from C-grade materials, but you need to know that the higher the grade, the greater the density, and the heavier the weapon."
"You've only just awakened; you can't wield a C-grade weapon, you can't handle it."
Chu Tianxing spoke with great earnestness.
But Wang Zheng doesn't believe a single word of it now.
"You don't need to worry about that. I have superhuman strength, I can definitely lift it. If you don't believe me, ask my mom, she definitely won't lie to you."
Chu Tianxing said helplessly, "Fine? C-grade it is. But there aren't any long-handled C-grade hammers in the school warehouse. You're in such a hurry to train, you probably can't wait. I do have a short-handled one, do you want it?"
"Yes! I want this one!"
Wang Zheng spoke through gritted teeth, thinking that if it really didn't work well, he would sell it back to the school and replace it later!
"Okay, I'll send it to you tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you, Principal Chu." Wang Zheng hung up the phone with a smile.
Li Liang said with a helpless smile.
"Why are you doing this? What is a C-grade weapon to Principal Chu? You don't need it now."
“I know it’s nothing to him, but he’s such a big shot, and he cheated me during the day. I won’t feel comfortable until I get my revenge.”
Wang Zheng spoke these words with righteous indignation, without a trace of guilt, and never once considered rewarding students with spiritual energy crystals, which would be a historic first.
...
Since he no longer needed to go to school, Wang Zheng slept until noon the next day.
After lunch, Wang Zheng called his mother. After receiving confirmation that the special recruitment agreement, spiritual crystals, and weapons had been delivered to the research institute, Wang Zheng immediately asked Wang Shengrong to drive him to the research institute and bring everything home.
After returning home, Wang Zheng first carefully examined the weapon.
At first glance, Wang Zheng knew he had been tricked by Old Man Chu again. The hammer was bright silver all over, shaped like a melon and thicker than Wang Zheng's waist. It was covered with spikes and was about one meter long. It looked very imposing and powerful.
Judging from its shape, it is clearly a short-handled hammer, which is usually held in two hands, one in each hand.
This one was clearly sent on purpose by Old Man Chu. Wang Zheng picked it up and tried it; it weighed almost 100 pounds. He found it a bit difficult to swing with one hand, but he could add more later so he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to lift it.
Wang Zheng then opened the box containing the spiritual crystals. One of them was the same blue teardrop-shaped crystal that Li Liang had brought back before, while the other two were dark red rhombus-shaped crystals.
Wang Zheng first picked up the teardrop-shaped spiritual energy crystal, and then watched as the spiritual energy value on his panel began to rise continuously.
This time, the spiritual energy value stopped rising at 205 points.
Wang Zheng was furious, thinking that this old man Chu was really no good. All he did was go back on his word and ask for an extra C-grade weapon from him.
He used a substandard spiritual crystal to appease himself.
The same spirit crystal that Li Liang brought back added a full 123 points, while the one given by Old Man Chu only added 103 points, a difference of 20 points.
Seeing that the spiritual crystal had become completely transparent and could no longer absorb any spiritual energy, Wang Zheng angrily threw it aside.
Then Wang Zheng picked up another deep red spiritual crystal, and the spiritual energy value in the data panel began to rise rapidly again.
This time, the upper limit of spiritual energy increased by a full 180 points, and the spiritual energy value reached 385 points, setting a new record.
"Very good, keep up the good work."
Wang Zheng reached for the last remaining spiritual crystal, intending to break through the 500 limit in one go and advance to become a D-level Awakener.
This time, however, the spiritual energy value stopped increasing after reaching 499 points, and the last spiritual energy crystal was still a light red color, clearly indicating that it had not been completely absorbed.
Seeing that there was no way to increase the spiritual energy limit for the time being, Wang Zheng guessed that it might be because his physical fitness was insufficient and he could not unlock the third talent, so the limit could not break through 500 points. So he turned his attention to his data panel.
Stamina: 150/150
Spiritual Energy Value: 499/499
Physical condition: 15+
Strength: 16+
Intelligence: 8+
Spirit: 7+
Agility: 8+
