Chapter 405: Academy Reward, Unexpected Surprise

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although Wang Xiao had a lot on his mind at this moment, he could not help but be interested when he saw the mysterious expressions of the three of them.

“Could it be a large sum of money?”

Wang Xiao had a flash of inspiration and guessed. Before the three of them could express their opinion, he shook his head. “No, no. Although the Academy Head is more realistic, he won’t give such a tacky reward… Is it a high-level item?”

“I think you’d better not guess. In any case, you definitely won’t be able to guess!”

Xu Junrou sneered and casually held Zhou Xiruo’s arm. “In any case, Xiruo has already received it on your behalf. How about treating us to a meal and we’ll tell you?”

“Oh? Xiruo helped me collect it?”

Wang Xiao smiled evilly when he heard this. “Then can’t I just take a look? In any case, our warehouses are shared.”

As he spoke, Wang Xiao had already opened the interface. Xu Junrou immediately shouted angrily, “Why are you like this?! I can’t even get you to treat me to a meal. You’re so stingy!”

“This isn’t stingy. It’s to use the best resources in the most important areas!”

Wang Xiao replied calmly. As he spoke, he had already found the additional resources in the territory. There were actually a total of 60 [Core Upgrade Stones]!

“Is this a reward from the academy?!”

Wang Xiao could not help but exclaim. His first reaction was disbelief.

After leveling up to a level three lord, if he wanted to continue leveling up the [Lord Core], the [Core Upgrade Stone] was an indispensable key item.

Although this thing was not a strategic resource, it was not something that could be obtained casually.

Generally speaking, it had to be distributed by the university after the young lord entered the university. Therefore, other than those rich children with illustrious families, most lords of the Blue Planet could only stop at level three before entering the university.

It was also because of this that after Wang Xiao decided to upgrade his [Lord Core] in advance, he chose to buy it from the Lord’s Shop.

However, he did not expect that as soon as the deal with the Lord’s Shop was settled, the academy would give him a total of 60 [Core Upgrade Stones]! It was enough to upgrade his [Lord Core] to level five!

“There’s still 30 for her?”

Wang Xiao glanced at Zhou Xiruo and immediately reacted.

He and Zhou Xiruo were in a vassal contract. Their resource warehouses were shared, so similar resources would naturally be displayed together.

However, Zhou Xiruo did not know what Wang Xiao was thinking. Seeing the other party looking at her, she was stunned for a moment before hurriedly waving her hand. “It’s fine. You need it more anxiously than me now. If you want to use it, just use it.”

Zhou Xiruo wanted to talk about Lang Buli’s [Lord Core] , but she could not say it in front of outsiders.

Wang Xiao understood what she meant and could not help but feel a little touched. However, Xu Junrou did not know what was going on. When she heard this, she rolled her eyes at Wang Xiao and said angrily, “Xiruo, let me tell you. Men can’t be treated too well. Otherwise, he will think that it’s what you should

Zhou Xiruo blushed when she heard this. “Xiao Rou, don’t talk nonsense!” “I’m not spouting nonsense. You’ll know in the future!”

Xu Junrou said seriously. Then, she frowned and looked at Wang Xiao. “I’m warning you. If you dare to occupy Xiruo’s [Core Upgrade Stones], be careful that I won’t let you off!”

Wang Xiao did not know why Xu Junrou was suddenly so hostile to him, but he had never thought of occupying them, so he did not take it to heart. He smiled bitterly and said helplessly, “Don’t worry, I already have enough.”

With that said, Wang Xiao smiled and winked at Zhou Xiruo. “I’ll tell you good news. I’ve already agreed on the deal with the Lord’s Shop. I’ll be able to obtain that batch of resources tomorrow night at the latest!”

“Really?”

When Zhou Xiruo heard this, she immediately revealed a pleasantly surprised expression. “You went out in the morning to do this?”

Wang Xiao nodded and did not say anything else. Then, he frowned and looked at Xu Junrou. “But don’t you think it’s strange? The [Core Upgrade Stone] is a resource that will only be distributed after entering a university. Why were they given to us in advance?”

“I’ve also heard about this.”

Xu Junrou’s expression suddenly became serious. She looked around to ensure that no one was paying attention before continuing, “I heard that the battle at the front line is tight. The military needs to recruit a batch of soldiers as soon as possible.”

“The various academies have all distributed the [Core Upgrade Stones] in advance. We were only lucky to be in the first batch because of the celebration. In the future, they will use other names to distribute them to the other students one after another.”

“I see…”

Wang Xiao nodded thoughtfully. It was not a secret that the battle at the front line was tight. News had long spread during the previous lord competition.

However, now that this matter had happened at the critical moment of the “school exchange”, it was really difficult for Wang Xiao not to link these two things together.

However, on second thought, Wang Xiao felt that he was overthinking. The other students would also receive the [Core Upgrade Stones] in the future. This meant that the effect of this policy was extremely large and the resources were unlikely to be specially prepared for them.

Of course, before the other students really received the [Core Upgrade Stones], any guesses could only be guesses.

As he thought to himself, Wang Xiao looked around and casually asked, “By the way, have you seen Brother Xuan? I have something to talk to him about.”

“Brother Xuan doesn’t seem to be here.”

Wang Xiao smacked his lips. He originally wanted to discuss the school exchange with Gao Lixuan, but since he could not find him, he could only give up.

Then, the few of them chatted for a while before Yi Han and Xu Junrou bade farewell and left.

Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo had nothing to do, so they strolled around the academy.

After walking for a while, Zhou Xiruo suddenly asked in a concerned voice,

“Wang Xiao, is everything going smoothly?”

Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment before nodding. “Everything is going quite smoothly. Why are you suddenly asking about this?”

“Nothing. I just feel that you seem to have a lot on your mind.”

Zhou Xiruo smiled and held Wang Xiao’s arm. “I’m your vassal lord. If there’s anything, don’t face it yourself. You have to tell me.”

Hearing Zhou Xiruo’s serious tone, Wang Xiao immediately felt a warm current surge in his heart.

Now, Wang Xiao had many friends, and many of them were even life-and-death friends. However, the only person he could really hide nothing from was Zhou Xiruo.

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely tell you if there’s something. ”

Wang Xiao patted the back of Zhou Xiruo’s hand and chuckled. Just as he was about to say something, he accidentally saw a girl walking past in the distance and immediately stopped.

“Why is she here?”

Wang Xiao frowned and muttered. His first reaction was that he had seen wrongly.. This was because it was absolutely impossible for this person to appear in Yuheng Academy or even Kaiyang City!
