Chapter 35 Chapter 35
After dinner, Zheng Ying waited until there were only a few people left in the cafeteria before walking up to He Tingting and asking her to meet him in a quiet place on campus for a detailed discussion.
"The principal has reported your case to the provincial leadership. Their stance is unclear, and they've requested you provide more information for testing."
This idea that goes beyond nature is difficult to accept.
As long as He Tingting provided something, it was already very good that she was not detained for investigation.
"Okay, wait for me."
He Tingting turned around and fumbled around for a while.
When he turned around again, he already had a lot of things in his arms.
"Those on the left are vegetables. I took two of each. The piece of paper on the right looks like a map. I also pulled it out. I'll give them all to you."
Zheng Ying had heard from the principal that He Tingting could take objects from the air, but even though he had only heard about it, he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.
Where did the things come from?
He blinked, his eyes moving around He Tingting without leaving a trace.
"Okay, I'll take these to the principal and ask him to send them to the relevant department for inspection. I'll let you know if anything happens later."
This conversation slightly changed He Tingting's impression of him.
Maybe he wasn't as sinister as she suspected.
To be fair, judging from his appearance alone, Zheng Ying is definitely a respectable and decent person, and has nothing to do with the word "villain".
If the system's task had not been completed, He Tingting would not have suspected him.
At this point, she still wasn't sure who was behind it.
"Okay, thank you for your help."
After watching Zheng Ying leave, He Tingting glanced at the system and found that the task on it was still not completed.
Maybe the higher-ups have doubts about this matter, so let's wait a little longer.
She comforted herself in her heart, turned back to the cafeteria, and worked as usual.
The situation on Zheng Ying's side is more complicated.
The principal took him to meet the leader in person and handed over the things he had just received from He Tingting.
The higher-ups attached great importance to He Tingting and also wanted to know what effects these things would have on people, so they set up a special laboratory for this purpose.
As a special talent, Zheng Ying was also assigned to the laboratory.
The things He Tingting sent last time had been studied several times, and the newly delivered vegetables and meat were immediately separated by the staff inside.
The only piece of paper left for the newcomer Zheng Ying was the one that He Tingting emphasized.
He opened it and saw a map that looked like a child's drawing.
Just looking at this, Zheng Ying almost thought that He Tingting was fooling him.
This is clearly a cartoon drawn by a child. It's not a treasure map at all.
He took a look and wanted to put it down and find something else to do, but he took another look and couldn't let it go.
Although the style of the painting looks like a child's doodle, the area names appear to be correct.
Zheng Ying was doubtful.
In order to verify his idea, he went out and bought a map of the province from the bookstore.
When I came back and compared them, I found that the names all matched.
It's not even just the name. If you look closely, even the terrain matches. It's just that the painting is a bit abstract, making it difficult to understand at first glance.
Could it be that this map is real?
Zheng Ying had this guess in mind and studied the map more carefully.
While everyone else in the lab was busy, the person next to him took a break and glanced at him, seeing him staring blankly at a piece of paper.
Tsk, what a rare genius, he looks silly, is he as great as the rumors say?
Zheng Ying was completely unaware of other people's views.
He looked intently at the map in front of him, or rather the treasure map.
If what is described above is true, it would definitely be a great thing for the country.
Even if something goes wrong, we can't let it go.
Thinking of this, Zheng Ying suddenly stood up and ran out of the laboratory under the strange looks of the people around him.
He didn't stop along the way and gave the things to the principal.

The next morning, as soon as He Tingting arrived at the school gate, she saw the principal waiting there.
"You're finally here."
As soon as he saw her, the principal came over as if he had seen a relative.
He Tingting was startled and raised her hand to look at her watch.
It's only 8:30, she came earlier than usual, not late at all.
"Principal, what do you want to talk to me about?"
There were too many people at the school gate to talk, so the principal took He Tingting back to the office.
He let He Tingting go in first, and then he stealthily confirmed that there was no one around the office before carefully closing the door.
This stealthy behavior made He Tingting feel a little uneasy, and she couldn't help but ask again.
"Principal, what's going on?"
Principal Zhang then took out the paper he had been reading all night from his bag and handed it to her.
"This is what you gave to Zheng Ying before. Is everything on it true?"
He Tingting carefully studied everything extracted from the system. At a glance, she knew why the principal was so nervous.
There is nothing special about this map, either in terms of paper quality or style; it is even of poor quality, but the content on it is very valuable.
It records the location of a rare resource.
He Tingting had only seen that word in a chemistry textbook and couldn't remember what it was used for.
But the first time I saw it, I decided to hand it over.
"I can guarantee that this is definitely provided by the system. As for the authenticity of the things on the map, relevant personnel still need to verify it on the spot."
The principal's excited heart calmed down a little.
Seeing that He Tingting was also unsure, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll contact someone to confirm this matter."
He Tingting came out of the principal's office and walked towards the cafeteria, where she ran into a familiar figure again.
The other party seemed to be waiting for her deliberately. As soon as he saw her, his eyes stared at her.
"What's up?"
He Tingting had experience and spoke earlier than Zheng Ying.
She spoke first, and Zheng Ying felt a little embarrassed when he looked at those black eyes.
I couldn't remember most of the questions I had prepared. After hesitating for a long time, I only asked one question.
“Are the things on the map real?”
He Tingting didn't speak so officially to him.
There has never been any problem with the things produced by the system. When He Tingting handed the things over, she felt 90% sure.
"It's real, but it takes a professional to find it."
After she answered, she walked away.
When they passed by each other, He Tingting noticed Zheng Ying's eyes.
It was strange. She had already answered him, so why was he still looking at her like that?
He Tingting was puzzled and unconsciously became more alert.
When you are worried about something, the days go by especially slowly.
Every day when He Tingting came to school, she would look out the gate to see if the principal was there.
Not seeing the principal, she breathed a sigh of relief and went to work in the cafeteria.
Almost a week passed like this, and He Tingting finally met the principal at the school gate.
She couldn't tell whether she felt relieved or nervous, she felt a sense of relief that this moment had finally come.
"headmaster."
As soon as she said this, the excited Principal Zhang rushed over and grabbed her hand.
"Xiao He, you've done a great job this time!"
Upon hearing this, He Tingting's heart was completely relieved. "Found it?"
"I found it. I just called this morning. There is indeed pitchblende. The leader has talked to me. The next time you have news like this, you must inform me immediately."
A smile appeared on He Tingting's face.
"Okay, next time something like this appears, I will be the first to tell you."
The two of them were chatting happily. Wang Qi, who was standing at the door, saw it and felt jealous.
"I think she's a bitch. Otherwise, how could a cook like her talk to the principal in just a few days, and the principal's attitude towards her was so nice?"
His words were full of sourness, and Guo Zhuang felt annoyed just listening to them.
"Tingting is talented and deserves to be appreciated. What's the point of you making up all this nonsense? If you really have the talent, you can go to the university cafeteria and talk to the principal!"
Wang Qi suddenly fell silent.
If he had that ability, he would have stopped setting up a stall here a long time ago.
"Tsk, I'm not even friendly to you, yet you're still so protective of me."
Wang Qi said this very quietly, but Guo Zhuang heard it.
I just pretended not to hear, lowered my head and focused on the things at hand, avoiding the topic.
He could see that He Tingting had always treated him as a friend. Her eyes were very pure, without any shyness that could spark between a man and a woman.
In this case, expressing his boyish feelings would only destroy the pure friendship between the two.
It’s better to bury it in your heart. After a long time, the feeling will fade away.
He Tingting was completely unaware of all this.
The map incident was verified, and a huge stone in her heart was removed. She smiled more often when doing business.
While focusing on business, He Tingting discovered something strange.
Zheng Ying has been coming here more frequently recently, and He Tingting can see him at almost every meal.
It wasn't strange that he just came to buy food. When he bought food, he changed his previous cool guy appearance and always chatted with He Tingting.
He Tingting initially thought that he wanted to ask about the system, but because there were so many people around, she couldn't speak, so she deliberately asked a few vague questions.
As a result, Zheng Ying seemed to have not understood at all. Not only did he report to the stall every day, but he also always waited until there were no people in line before chatting with He Tingting.
Sometimes I even wait for a long time by the stall just to say goodbye.
The more He Tingting thought about it, the more strange it seemed to her. She even went to Sun Dongfang, who was more familiar with him, to inquire about Zheng Ying's usual behavior.
The answer she got was different from what He Tingting saw.
"Senior is a dedicated academic. He spends almost all of his time on research. He often keeps to himself and doesn't make many friends, but we all like him. I heard that last month a senior student sent him a love letter, and within one class period, Senior Zheng returned the letter intact."
Such a genius-level figure is considered to be a big shot in the school. His every move is closely watched, and naturally there is a lot of gossip.
But He Tingting listened over and over again, and didn't hear anything bad about this person.
Could it be that she was really being too suspicious?
Just as He Tingting had this thought, something happened that broke her doubts.
There was no one there early in the morning, so it was her turn to go to the cafeteria to clean up early. Zheng Ying arrived earlier than her and blocked the door.
"What do you want to do?"
