Chapter 86 Tong You exposes his shortcomings
"Why don't you guess they're in the trunk of the bottle tree?" Tengchong looked at Yunxiang sullenly. She must have done it on purpose, thinking they deserved it. In reality, Yunxiang was just stating the facts.
"It's obvious that we're not poisoned! Whether they control the bottle tree or it grows in water, the ultimate goal is definitely to poison people. Since we're fine, it definitely wasn't on the bottle tree."
"Then what about those mutant beasts we encountered along the way?"
"Uncle Dong has a bad taste. Do you think he saved you in vain? He didn't let you try out his new formation just because he was in a good mood." As for why he was in a good mood, Xie Yu knew it very well.
"Then who do you think the real murderer is?"
"It could be anywhere in the galaxy. Of course, it could also be an enemy of Five Coins." Xie Yu shrugged, his attitude nonchalant. It really didn't matter. There was no way to investigate this matter. He could only take it as a lesson to warn himself.
"It's the same as if I didn't say anything."
"Hey, don't you think it's a waste of time to discuss the real murderer here?" Lin Ziyu looked at these people speechlessly. Men really love solving puzzles the most.
"How could that be?" Jin Jiaren closed his notebook. He had just been listening with great interest.
"What's the result?" Lin Ziyu looked at Jin Jiamin unhappily. Didn't he always demand a result for everything?
Jin Jiaren smiled cunningly, "The result is that Senior Tengchong and his men have been poisoned, and they need to find Lobelia chinensis to make an antidote."
“…” Lin Ziyu took back her previous words. Not only were the people in the Manufacturing Society foxes, but their friends were also foxes.
"Where can I find the antidote?"
"Lobelia is the companion herb to Flame Stone. Wherever there's Flame Stone, there's this one. Currently, the only place to find Flame Stone is in the single extinct volcano belt on Lianjiao Star. It's underground, and the magma is there. It takes three days to travel east. Do you want to go?"
Tengchong frowned. "This volcano hasn't erupted in hundreds of years. Are you sure there's magma?"
"Not sure." Jin Jiamin shook his head.
"You should consider that if it suddenly bursts into flames, you will really die." Xie Yu reminded maliciously.
"You want to persuade me to quit?" Tengchong raised his eyebrows. He was not raised to be scared, so how could he be fooled?
"You kid, you're not trying to keep all the good stuff for yourself, are you?" Bie Nao glanced around and lowered his voice. Even within a club, there were still people who were close to each other. The others also lowered their voices.
"Hmph, do you think everyone else is you? I'm just being kind. I have no objection if you're willing, but do you really want to go?" Xie Yu asked again. The few people became even more suspicious, always feeling that Xie Yu was up to no good.
"Go, you must go!" President Zeng Li expressed his opinion.
"You don't have the final say!" Xie Yu said coldly.
“…”
"We all listen to the president. What's the matter, Xiao Xieyu, do you have any objections?"
"Of course not. So you guys aren't planning on graduating this year?" Everyone was confused by Xie Yu's question. You Hao was the first to react.
"Oh my god, it's already the end of August and we have to submit our graduation projects before mid-September. Have you all submitted them yet?"
"..." After a moment of silence, Tong You said weakly, "I'm not ready yet."
"Oh, you're talking about this even before bed, how can you have time to prepare this? I suggest you just go and chat with Principal Jin. Talk until Principal Jin's superpowers explode, and with a wave of his hand, you graduate!"
"puff……"
"—You Hao, you're still laughing at me. You prepared your project early, but it's so crude, even worse than a first-year student's. You keep getting failed marks every year. When you apply for a job in the future, the interviewer won't see anything but giant red marks. They'll be so heartbroken that they'll wipe away their tears of sympathy and reluctantly accept you as a handyman.
But are you sure you can handle odd jobs? And don't make a scene. You're the one who makes the most noise. You won't be able to find it when it's time to hand in your graduation project. The key is that we all saw you do it before, so it's not easy to say you didn't do it. But are you born in the Year of the Pig? How can you forget this? "This... Yun Xiang had really met someone like this in his previous life. He would lose his admission ticket every time he took an exam. He didn't know what to say.
Tengchong saw Tong You's gaze turned towards him and immediately said, "Tong You, I didn't laugh at you just now."
"Come on, if you don't smile on your face, how can you not smile in your heart?"
"..." How to refute this? You must say a resounding "No!"
"Hmph, I'd say it anyway if I didn't." More stubborn than a woman, Tengchong muttered to himself, wisely keeping silent. He didn't want to offend the women of the Talisman Society. Look, this is what a man is.
Tengchong looked at Tong You resignedly, and Tong You spoke frankly, "This guy is the funniest. The project draft is full of ellipsis. No, except for the name and number, the rest is all ellipsis. Of course, there are commas and sentences, after all, they need to be divided into sentences. Long ones use periods, short ones use commas, and the same number of points use semicolons. A few even have double quotes above them. Can you imagine?"
"Puff..." The one with wings "..."
"I'm just wondering, if you omit something yourself, do you also omit it when you quote someone else?"
“Puha…”
"Didn't the teacher beat him?" Xie Yu asked what Chu Yunxiang was thinking.
"Reflect on your mistakes facing the wall!" Tong You said this with a look of grief and indignation on his face, "He likes to face the wall on weekdays, why does the teacher cater to his preferences?" And he, knowing that he likes to talk, was punished by being made to shut up for several days. It was really unfair.
... He wanted to laugh again, but he held it back. Yun Xiang forced himself to stop laughing, "You definitely didn't tell the teacher about his hobbies. After all, looking down and in a daze can easily be seen as studying hard, and not talking can also be understood as observing discipline, especially when compared with his deskmate." Yun Xiang hinted at something.
Tengchong and Tong You are classmates, but among them, only Tengchong can deal with Tong You.
"Oh, why didn't I think of it before."
"You little bastard, take care of your fiancée."
"Ha!" Yun Xiang touched her nose awkwardly. Although she couldn't understand Tengchong's large number of ellipsis, she inexplicably felt that she was in harmony with him.
Tong You turned his gaze towards Zeng Li, and everyone immediately perked up. "That's boring, let's stop talking."
Huh?
"President, why don't you explain it yourself?"
"What do I have to explain?" Zeng Li looked puzzled. "This is my last year. Is that a problem?"
"Are you younger than the seniors?"
"...I've been training with my family for a long time, so can't I be a few years lower?"
"Oh, I thought you were old—"
"You mean I look older than them?" Even nice people have tempers, especially when it comes to sensitive issues like age.
"Have you thought it through? Are you going back to prepare for your graduation project or going underground in the volcano to collect herbs?"
"Graduation, let's talk about it first. Yuqing Pills are available in the market, you can buy them with a little money. Even if they are not available, they will be available when my junior comes back."
Good plan? Xie Yu raised an eyebrow. "Oh, graduation is indeed important. As for the materials, we can collect them later."
"What materials?" When You Hao heard the word "materials", he immediately became interested and pulled Xie Yu away from the crowd.
The Tengchong guys wouldn't allow You Hao to have it all to themselves, so they shamelessly followed him and even dragged Zeng Li along, which was exactly what Xie Yu wanted.
