Gao Han returned to school and went directly to the business department to find Teacher Chen to submit an additional task of half a ton of thunderstone ore.
"The timing is just right, have you completed the task?" Teacher Chen was the person in charge of the handover, and he knew from the beginning that he had to take on the task of promoting students to higher grades.
Gao Han handed him half a ton of thunderstone ore.
Teacher Chen looked at the additional amount he submitted and said, "You actually went to the Shanhai disaster area to dig for thunderstone mines. That place is half of the Tang family's territory."
Gao Han nodded, "It just so happens that I am going to participate in the Tang family's trial."
Teacher Chen was stunned for a moment, "Your last name is not Tang, why are you participating in..."
The conversation suddenly stopped here.
He remembered one thing. Every year, the Tang family selected suitable people to go to disaster areas for training, selected outstanding talents for the Tang family, and finally sent them to the main family.
This is not actually an experience, but a test of life and death.
It is somewhat similar to the Yuan family's method, both of which are methods of elimination based on the survival of the fittest. However, the Tang family's trials are more dangerous, and one could lose one's life if one is not careful. No young generation is not afraid of death, so these branches sometimes find cousins to replace their children.
Gao Han is a cousin of the Tang family. It is no big deal for him to participate in the Tang family's trial. It is obvious that he was forced by the Tang family.
"These big families are really committing evil." Teacher Chen said with emotion.
Gao Han did not comment.
Teacher Chen smiled again and said, "However, you are also very capable to be able to dig up so many thunderstone mines on the Tang family's territory. I will notify you after the mission is verified."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen. I'll be leaving now."
"Wait," Teacher Chen called him again, "The final exam results are out, remember to go and check them out."
The school’s results are always released quickly. Gao Han left the school right after the exams, so he hasn’t seen it yet, but he has a group of enthusiastic classmates.
When he left the Shanhai disaster area, after sending the message to Sima Yi, he found many more congratulatory messages in his communicator.
The message was sent by Zhang Hao, Ma Zechao and Luo Xinxin, congratulating him on getting the top spot in all subjects.
Gao Han thanked Professor Chen again for his kindness.
His grades have already met the requirements, and now all that's left is the review by Lei Shikuang. Once the review is passed, he can report directly to the third grade when school starts in more than a month.
Except for a few school leaders, no one else knew the news.
When they returned to the villa and closed the door, the silver lizard ran out of his arms and quickly ran into the kitchen. After a while, it came out pushing the bowl it usually used for eating. Then, it rubbed its two paws in a humane way and looked at Gao Han in a flattering manner.
Gao Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was really thinking about those spirit stones all the way. No wonder it was so quiet. He must have stopped feeding it the spirit stones for fear that it would make noise.
After thinking for a while, he took out a spirit stone.
There are still quite a few impurities in this spirit stone, some of which are adsorbed on the surface, and some have seeped into the inside.
"These spirit stones really contain a lot of impurities. If you absorb them like this, will the impurities accumulate more and more in your body?" Gao Han was a little worried.
The Silver Lizard didn't think too much about it. Seeing that he was holding the spirit stone but not giving it to him, it pounced on him in a hurry and bit the spirit stone in his hand with its teeth.
Gao Han immediately let go, and with a click, the spirit stone was eaten by it in a few bites.
He took a few bites with his mouth, and when he smacked his lips, he spat out some black stuff.
Gao Han took a little bit of it and found that these black things were the impurities in the spirit stone. It could actually filter out the impurities by itself, so he touched its head.
"Little guy, how many surprises do you have waiting to be discovered?"
After eating a piece of spirit stone, the silver-essence lizard wanted to eat more, so it rubbed its head against his leg.
Seeing that it was fine, Gao Han gave it two more small pieces.
The silver spirit lizard made a few more clicking sounds. The spiritual stone that the Tang family needed a long time to refine could not last more than ten seconds in its mouth, so it had to chew it like a snack.
"You can't eat anymore." Gao Han was afraid that it would burst due to spiritual energy, so he decisively refused before it could act coquettishly.
The silver lizard didn't believe it and circled around him for a long time. When it found out that he was really heartless, its head suddenly became depressed and it dragged its lunch box back to the kitchen.
Gao Han couldn't help but take a picture of its bleak back.
Three days later, his assignment passed the review and Instructor Chen sent him a message to ask him to come over.
During these three days, Gao Han did nothing except refining weapons.
He did not move out the spiritual stones and instruments he had harvested.
The villa was broken into before. If it was done by the Tang family, they might come to the villa to test it again this time.
"Fugui." Gao Han walked out of the room and shouted.
The silver lizard walked out slowly, glanced at him, and unlike usual, immediately jumped into his arms.
"You're such a cunning person." Gao Han couldn't help but laugh and curse upon seeing this, and took out a small piece of spirit stone and threw it over.
Like a frisbee dog, the silver lizard's eyes lit up instantly, and it jumped up and bit the spirit stone in the air. After eating it, it jumped into his arms and lay quietly.
Ever since it knew that he had a lot of spirit stones, the Silver Spirit Lizard was no longer as obedient as usual. Every time he asked it to do something, he had to trade spirit stones for it.
If this continues, Gao Han feels that no matter how many spirit stones he has, they will not be enough for him to eat.
He looked at the extremely clever silver lizard, and then at the communicator.
Thousands of miles away in Zhongli Tingzhou, the communicator on his wrist made a sound of receiving a message.
"Your son is getting smarter and smarter. It's hard to raise him. When will you come back to take care of him yourself?"
Zhongli Tingzhou's expression was indescribable, but he still replied to him.
"Maybe not in the next month."
"I really have a son?"
"I remember that it seemed like only two months had passed since I last lost my memory. We... couldn't possibly have a son so soon, right?"
Gao Han had already arrived at the business department and was talking to Teacher Chen, so he did not immediately look at Zhongli Tingzhou's reply.
"The Tang family has been having a hard time recently, so they probably don't have the time to bother you again." Teacher Chen said with a smile.
Gao Han had some guesses in his mind and asked, "What happened to the Tang family?"
Teacher Chen said, "The Tang family claimed that they had lost something important in the Shanhai disaster area. You should have encountered them when you came out that day. They insisted on looking at the storage items of the soul refiners in the disaster area, and they happened to block the Sima family and started a commotion."
"Sima Yi arrived later, and the Tang family actually suspected that the things they lost were stolen by the Sima family. They thought it was impossible for them to just happen to show up, so they concluded that they stole it."
Gao Han said: "I was the one who informed Sima Yi."
Teacher Chen laughed, "Yes, Sima Yi also said that you informed him. The Tang family is really interesting. However, they are so anxious that they are willing to offend even the Sima family. The stolen things seem to be of great importance, otherwise the Tang family would not take it so seriously."
Most of the spirit stone mines symbolize the glorious future of the Tang family. How can we not take it seriously?
If the ancestors of the Tang family knew about this, they would probably be so angry that they would open the coffin and jump out.
"Teacher, do you know what the Tang family lost?" Gao Han asked.
Teacher Chen shook his head. "The Tang family is keeping it a secret. We don't know yet. But the Tang family is desperate now. They are looking for the person who stole their things. After some time, they may not be able to keep it a secret anymore."
Gao Han nodded, took out two magical instruments and placed them in front of Teacher Chen.
Before he could speak, Teacher Chen suddenly picked up one of them excitedly and said, "It's actually a spiritual weapon!"
He vaguely knew from Professor Fan that Gao Han should be able to refine spiritual weapons, but he had never seen it with his own eyes.
After being happy for a moment, Teacher Chen was speechless and said, "You are willing to sell the spiritual weapon?"
"I'm short of money lately." Top-level talismans are very expensive, and the materials for spiritual weapons are also very expensive. Gao Han actually doesn't have much left on him, and he has promised Master Chen that if he sells magical weapons, he will give priority to him.
The other one is an ordinary upper-level magic weapon. In fact, its spiritual aura is already very high. It is definitely at the top level among upper-level magic weapons. However, compared with spiritual weapons, it is far behind.
Teacher Chen had no reason to refuse the business that came to his doorstep, and he even gave him a preferential price.
"By the way, the superior talisman I mentioned last time, the business department has recently stored a few of them."
Gao Han was actually a little distressed when he went to the disaster area this time, because it was actually a waste to use top-level talismans to deal with those mutated creatures. So when he heard what Teacher Chen said, he bought a few without hesitation.
Teacher Chen explained, "Those who previously bought high-level talismans at high prices are buying them again recently, and the school doesn't collect much."
Gao Han suddenly remembered what Professor Fan had said before, "Teacher, do you know who bought the talisman?"
Teacher Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay to tell you. It's not a secret anyway. It was the Yuan family who bought it."
However, he did not say why the Yuan family wanted to purchase so many high-level talismans at such a high price.
Gao Han did not ask any more questions. After leaving the business department, he opened the message from Zhongli Tingzhou and burst out laughing at the first sight.
"Of course I have a son. His name is Fugui. You gave him the name."
"As for why it happened in two months, think about it yourself."
When Zhongli Tingzhou saw these two replies, he fell silent instantly, and his frown was so tight that it could almost pinch a fly to death.
His eyes were fixed on the words 'Think about it yourself'.
It seemed as if I could sense a resentment coming from the communicator, and I suddenly had a bad guess in my mind.
Could it be... that he cheated on me?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Zhongli Tingzhou's face suddenly darkened, and a gloomy atmosphere instantly enveloped him.
I had originally decided to go back to school in a month, but this firm idea suddenly wavered.
Gao Han didn't realize that what he said casually made Zhongli Tingzhou imagine something different. After going to the business department, he went to Professor Fan's office again, but found that no one was there.
At the end of the semester in Penglai, most tutors rarely stay in school. This is their least busy time and they usually go out to take care of their own personal matters. However, this does not mean that the safety factor of Penglai University is reduced. On the contrary, it has increased.
Because there are only a small number of students left in school, most of the students are either doing tasks or going home.
Ma Zechao and his team were the first type. After the summer vacation, they formed a group to go to the disaster area to carry out the mission. It is said that Zhang Hao and Luo Xinxin also went in a group.
If Gao Han hadn't been busy, they would have also wanted to invite him to go with them.
Gao Han, however, did not plan to go to the disaster area for missions again. He had already made a plan for the next month and a half, and he wanted to break through to the third level of cultivation before the new semester arrived.
