A short while later, when Wu Huan came out in a casual outfit, his mother had already prepared a large table of dishes and warmly invited Wang Zheng to sit down.
During the meal, the simple-minded aunt kept thanking Wang Zheng, and didn't forget that her two children remembered the kindness of young master Wang.
In order not to worry Wu Huan's mother, Wang Zheng and the others did not mention the topic of strange beasts at the dinner table.
After the family had finished their lunch together in a harmonious atmosphere, Wang Zheng excused himself, saying that he had only come to the port on his way and had some things to take care of.
Despite Wu's mother's repeated attempts to persuade him to stay, she finally asked Wu Huan to help see Wang Zheng off.
After the two left the residential area and strolled along the streets of the new city, Wu Huan asked Wang Zheng:
"Captain, what brings you to the harbor? Is there something wrong? Do you need any help?"
Wang Zheng didn't deliberately say that he came specifically for his brother; he just smiled.
"I came out to relax after hitting a plateau in my skills, and before I knew it, I was at the seaside. Then I remembered that your hometown is also a harbor, so I came over..."
Hearing Wang Zheng speak so readily, Wu Huan suppressed his gratitude and didn't point it out.
What kind of getaway is this? It's over 800 kilometers from south of Beijing to the harbor. It's like a spontaneous trip, and we ended up here.
Oh, right, the captain can fly.
However, the address registered in the school records is his hometown fishing village. If it was really just a spur-of-the-moment decision, how did he find this residential community?
Of course, these were just Wu Huan's thoughts. Even if she had low emotional intelligence, she wouldn't say it out loud. After all, it had been more than a year, and Wang Zheng had already figured it out.
This strong girl knew very well that Wang Zheng had come to help her, but she simply lowered her head and said again, "Thank you."
Young Master Wang didn't seem to care much about it, saying it was a trivial matter to him.
Although what he said was true, the girl didn't seem to think so.
Although Wu Huan was surprised by Wang Zheng's treatment methods, he then thought that his captain was never someone who could be expected to be understood in the same way as ordinary people.
Just like how everyone knew he was very strong, before the martial arts tournament ended, no one thought he could really win the championship.
Now that it seems his hidden combat abilities are so strong, and given that he's an Awakened One specializing in support, it's quite reasonable that his healing abilities are also quite good.
Wang Zheng naturally had no idea what the young girl was thinking, but it didn't matter to him anyway.
Wang Zheng turned around, looked at Wu Huan who was following behind him with her head down and silent, waved his hand to interrupt her thoughts, and said a few words of advice:
"After this ordeal, Wu Lei has truly learned from the experience. I tested him with my mental energy before, and he will have a lot of energy left in his body after this treatment."
This will also benefit him greatly, and he may very well awaken naturally in the future. Once he recovers, you should supervise him to train hard and not let him waste his time…”
This matter has been brought up again, so it's clear that Wang Zheng wasn't just fooling that kid before.
After all, on Wang Zheng's data panel, the kid's initial spiritual energy limit was only 56 points, but after treatment, it had reached 78 points.
With the Spirit Gathering Pills I gave myself, using both methods together, reaching 100 points of natural awakening within three years would be more than enough.
Wu Huan nodded silently, feeling a mix of emotions, and thought that life was truly amazing.
The person in front of him, whom he had a terrible first impression of and loathed, had now become his support.
Despite being only a few months older than me, he possessed an indescribable composure hidden beneath his frivolous exterior.
Sigh, no wonder Principal Chu values him so much.
This is definitely not just a matter of strength. His captain is a first-rate individual in terms of character, ability, manners, and cultivation.
Just as Wu Huan was completely devoted to Wang Dashao, Wang Zheng noticed the atmosphere had become silent and casually started a conversation.
“Although awakening isn’t the problem, I don’t think that kid even recognizes the Spirit Gathering Pill. He’s at the perfect age to build a foundation. Many parents exchange cash for credits at the school and then exchange those credits for potions. What about you? Didn’t you get him a few?”
Upon hearing this, Wu Huan bit her lip and shook her head.
“I’ve already converted all my previous credits into cash. As you’ve seen, Captain, my family situation is like this. My mom isn’t very educated and can only do manual labor. It’s already very difficult for her to support our education, and then there’s Xiao Lei…”
Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng suddenly remembered that there were men in the Wu family.
Unfortunately, this honest and law-abiding family was plagued by a gambling addict who ran away after accumulating a mountain of gambling debts a few years ago, leaving behind only the helpless Wu mother and her two young children.
Over the years, the family has relied on Wu's mother doing odd jobs to earn a meager living, and she has managed to raise her son and daughter with great difficulty.
At this time last year, if Chu Tianxing hadn't said that Nanjing University would waive all tuition and fees and also award an extra scholarship to help his family pay off their remaining debts, Wu Huan wouldn't have resolutely rejected the invitations from universities in Beijing and Shanghai and instead went to Nanjing University to report for duty.
Wu Huan always remembered Chu Tianxing's kindness, which was why she despised Wang Zheng's mercenary nature at the time.
However, by now, her impression of Wang Zheng has changed drastically, and she no longer thinks that Wang Zheng was selfish and self-serving.
Although she didn't know the specific reason, given the captain's character, how could he be a selfish person? There must be some hidden reason...
When Wu Huan mentioned his family background and seemed a little down, Wang Zheng quickly changed the subject.
"Didn't I give you high-level spiritual energy crystals and liquid spiritual energy before? Since you've already sold your credits, why don't you sell something more valuable?"
You should know that even a single high-level spiritual energy crystal is worth far more than you could earn by selling some academic credits. Selling just one could improve your family's living conditions.
When Wang Zheng asked the question again, Wu Huan lowered his head, his face flushed.
"That's what the captain asked me to use to improve my strength. If I sell it, I'll be going against your original intention..."
Seeing that Wang Zheng's gaze had softened, Wu Huan quickly added, blushing:
“My family is not short of money now. I earn a considerable income from hunting strange beasts part-time, and I don’t have many expenses on campus after school starts, which is enough for my mother and younger brother to live on…”
Seeing her anxious expression, Wang Zheng couldn't help but reveal her identity.
"I know, Corporal Wu. It's a special handling mobile response unit, you know. I know all about their benefits and treatment!"
