"This is…"
Ye Chen opened the wooden box, and inside was a black metal longbow, about five feet long, with a thick bow body. Under the sunlight, it actually emitted a ray of brilliant light.
It was obvious that this bow was no ordinary item. Ye Chen immediately said, "Principal, this gift is too valuable. I cannot accept it."
He had no relationship with the principal, so how could he have the nerve to take other people's things for free? If it was just an ordinary item, it would be fine, but this bow was obviously very valuable. Those bows that sold for more than 100,000 yuan on the market might not be as good as this one.
Chen Mingwu didn't answer. Instead, he picked up the longbow and looked at it as if he were looking at his lover. He murmured, "This bow is called the 'Black Iron Bow'. My teacher had someone specially craft it for me. It has accompanied me in my battles and is my favorite old friend..."
He chuckled and said, "Take it. I don't need it anymore, so I'm giving it to you to use in battle. It's better than letting it gather dust in a wooden box. I've nurtured this bow for many years, so it's very resilient. You can use it up to a mid-level quality without any problem."
"But Principal, I really can't take this bow."
Seeing Ye Chen repeatedly refusing, Chen Mingwu frowned and said in a low voice, "Just take it if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Are you still a gentleman? Isn't your bow broken? How can you be the world's best archer without a good longbow?"
"Thank you, Principal."
Seeing that he couldn't get away with it, Ye Chen had to take the bow. It felt heavy in his hand and the bow was icy cold. It was indeed a good bow, completely different from the compound bow he had used before.
"That's right!"
Seeing this, Chen Mingwu smiled again. "If I, Chen Mingwu, want to give something away, no one dares to refuse it. If I don't want to give it away, no one can snatch it away!"
Ye Chen smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't expect the principal to have such a stubborn personality. This was probably closely related to his military career.
"Okay, I won't keep you here for now. In a couple of days, I'll contact the president of Chuncheng Wuda to come to our school to inspect your situation. You must perform well then. If he takes a fancy to you, you'll be admitted to Chuncheng Wuda, the best Wuda in our province."
Ye Chen nodded, "I will definitely perform well."
Chen Mingwu patted Ye Chen's shoulder with satisfaction and personally sent him to the door of the office.
Before leaving, he said to Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, although you are loyal to Da Xia and treat others sincerely, sometimes you should think about yourself. After all, if you don't care about yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth."
"Um?"
Ye Chen frowned slightly, not knowing what the principal meant by his last words to him.
First he asked me to change my job, then he suddenly talked to me about Japan, and then he gave me his bow.
This series of actions made Ye Chen believe that the principal was giving him patriotic education.
But what did he mean by the last words he said to himself?
With doubts, Ye Chen subconsciously walked out of the principal's office.
He ran into Wang Changzhi head-on.
This is the director of their ordinary class, and in a sense, he is also Ye Chen's "class teacher".
"Hello, Teacher Wang."
Ye Chen greeted him and wanted to walk over directly. After all, Director Wang had never given him a good look in the past three years, and before the assessment, he was angry because he shot arrows randomly, which made him angry and wanted to deduct his points.
I thought Director Wang would turn a deaf ear to me as usual, but unexpectedly, he called Ye Chen over and said with a big smile on his face, "Student Ye Chen, you did well on the test this time. You are worthy of being a student of mine, Wang Changzhi."
"It's all thanks to Teacher Wang's good teaching..."
Ye Chen flattered him a little, and as if he suddenly thought of something, he said, "I have an unwelcome request, I hope you can approve it."
"What is it? Tell me."
"I violated discipline before, and Director Wang said he would deduct our team's points. However, this incident has nothing to do with my teammates. I hope you can be merciful and let them go, and only deduct my points..."
"Hi!"
Director Wang waved his hand and said magnanimously, "I thought it was nothing. I've forgotten it a long time ago... Teacher Wang, I don't hold grudges!"
After saying that, the two looked at each other and then burst into awkward laughter.
After parting with Ye Chen, Wang Changzhi came to the principal's office.
"Did the person leave?" Chen Mingwu looked out the window and asked absentmindedly.
"Leave."
"Have you completed everything I asked you to do?"
"Principal, I'll take care of things, don't worry."
After Wang Changzhi finished speaking, he pondered for a moment and said, "But aren't we going a little too far by doing this?"
"but."
Chen Mingwu said calmly, "Judging from the assessment video, he is indeed a good candidate. What's even more commendable is that he can share his scores equally with his teammates. However, a strict selection process is also necessary. This is the organization's consistent regulations. Ye Chen has not experienced the baptism of the battlefield and the harsh test, so we can only artificially create some trouble..."
"Actually, we can just wait for him to grow up freely. When the time is right, we can..."
Chen Mingwu interrupted directly, "That would take too long, and the risks are enormous. I believe Ye Chen is a rough diamond, and I trust my own judgment. Such a genius is worthy of my attention and cultivation. The current environment is too harsh, with internal and external troubles. Daxia needs such a pillar of talent."
He turned and looked at Wang Changzhi. "So we must take precautions early to ensure he can grow up safely. This isn't about forcing things to grow, nor is it about keeping things like greenhouse-grown flowers. Rather, it's about making necessary interventions. There have been countless talented people in Daxia who were deliberately infiltrated and assassinated by external forces before they could even mature. This is a lesson we must learn from."
