Chapter 23: Finally Here, the Spirit Realm! (Second Update, Seeking Follow-up Reads)
“Teaming up is fine!”
Zhao Zheng said with a smile, “However, you have to listen to me.”
To compensate for Zhao Zheng's losses, Song Haitang didn't want any further complications at this point.
So, she would just go along with whatever Zhao Zheng said.
“Okay, I'll listen to you.”
“First, regarding the number of people in the team, it's limited to just you and me.” Zhao Zheng asked with a smile, “Can you agree to that?”
It wasn't that Zhao Zheng was unwilling to help his other classmates.
However, she didn't hesitate for long before nodding in agreement:
“Okay, just the two of us then.”
Mainly because after she had said in class that she would definitely bring Zhao Zheng along, fewer people were willing to team up with her.
Because everyone unanimously believed that Zhao Zheng was a super burden!
Although Song Haitang's Flare-Flare Fruit was powerful, it would only be powerful in the future. Right now, the difference between everyone wasn't that big, and relying on Song Haitang alone wouldn't provide much assistance.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, many people no longer considered Song Haitang as a cooperative teammate.
The remaining boys who were willing to team up were almost all harboring ulterior motives, aiming for Song Haitang herself.
The girl felt that it would be better not to have those teammates at all.
“Okay, the matter of teaming up is settled then.”
Zhao Zheng revealed a smile.
His sudden agreement to Song Haitang's teaming request was also a whim.
Simply put, he wanted to use Song Haitang as his "shield"!
Since the Spirit Realm could check everyone's scores, if he went to the Spirit Realm alone and obtained a super high reward, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
Bringing Song Haitang along would be different.
After all, Song Haitang possessed the Flare-Flare Fruit, belonging to the genius category.
A genius!
Isn't it normal to perform exceptionally well?
Even with a burden, it might still be possible to achieve god-like feats!
When the time comes, as long as Zhao Zheng pushes all the credit to Song Haitang, he can continue to hide and remain inconspicuous!
As for reputation…
When he becomes invincible, both fame and fortune will come!
“By the way!”
Seeing Song Haitang preparing to leave, Zhao Zheng suddenly remembered something important.
He asked, “Haitang, do you have money?”
This question stunned Song Haitang, but she still nodded honestly.
“I do.”
Her father was also a Transcendent, and also the president of the Transcendent Association, so her family conditions were definitely very good.
At least much better than Zhao Zheng's family.
“How much money do you have on your card right now?”
“I don't know the exact amount. Before coming to school, my dad gave me some money, plus the lucky money I've had since I was little… Adding it all up, it's probably more than a million!”
Hiss!
Good heavens.
A little rich girl!
More than a million wasn't a large sum, but it was still rare for a student to have that much.
It could only mean that this student's family conditions were very good.
“Can you lend me 500,000?”
Zhao Zheng opened his mouth and then said, “Don't worry, I'll write you an IOU, and I'll definitely pay you back.”
“There's no need to write any IOU, I trust you.” Song Haitang said indifferently, then asked, “Is 500,000 enough? If not, I'll transfer a million to you! Anyway, the money is just sitting here with me, and I don't need it.”
For Song Haitang, Zhao Zheng's willingness to ask her for money was really a small matter.
The value of a Flare-Flare Fruit couldn't be measured even with tens of billions.
What was a million?
Moreover, she wasn't lying. The money was just lying in her bank card, gathering dust. She didn't need it.
“Uh… okay!”
Zhao Zheng was a little unaccustomed to the girl's generosity.
This was the first time he had encountered someone lending money like this.
Suddenly, he felt that Song Haitang had many good qualities.
She was beautiful, kind-hearted, and generous!
Most importantly, Song Haitang wasn't like those other little fairies, who didn't have the fate of a princess but had the princess disease, thinking that men should all revolve around them.
Besides being a little stubborn, Song Haitang's personality was far superior to those little fairies.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng became increasingly satisfied with Song Haitang!
This was simply the perfect "shield" candidate.
“Send me your card number.”
The girl didn't play games. After Zhao Zheng sent his card number, she transferred the money immediately.
Not long after.
Zhao Zheng received a notification that a million had been credited to his account.
…
After having money.
In the following days.
Zhao Zheng became busy.
He first spent more than 400,000 to directly buy a small apartment near the school, and then ordered a deluxe version of the sunbathing equipment, moving into the apartment…
Sorting these things out took him a full ten days.
Mainly because the procedures for buying the house and ordering the sunbathing equipment took time to wait.
At first, Zhao Zheng had also considered simply putting the sunbathing equipment directly in the school dormitory.
But this idea was rejected by himself as soon as it appeared.
Because it was too much trouble.
The deluxe version of the sunbathing equipment was too large, comparable to a bed!
It wouldn't be easy to get such a big thing into the dormitory, and it would be very eye-catching.
Moreover, the deluxe version of the sunbathing equipment also consumed a lot of electricity.
Zhao Zheng didn't want to be questioned by the dormitory aunt every day because of electricity bills.
It was more convenient to move out.
Anyway, the school didn't prohibit students from living outside.
In fact, students with conditions in the school almost all bought houses nearby and lived outside.
This made it easier for them to vent their desires!
The Spirit Realm trip once a month, walking on the edge of life and death, created unimaginable pressure on people.
If they couldn't find a channel to vent, people's minds could easily go wrong!
Messing around in the school was a bit inappropriate.
No one would care outside…
…
Time.
Had already come to the last day of May.
Early morning.
Zhao Zheng woke up from the sunbathing equipment…
Since buying this thing, he simply used it as a bed, sleeping inside it every day.
Although constantly sunbathing didn't increase his attributes.
However, it could keep his body in excellent condition!
The first thing he did after waking up was to check his attributes:
Race: Human.
Constitution: 290
Spirit: 95
Strength: 290
Agility: 290
Talent: Kryptonian Bloodline.
Spirit Points: 0
Explosive attributes!
As a newcomer who had never entered the Spirit Realm, his attributes were definitely off the charts.
The Great Superman physique was really great!
He would enter the Spirit Realm tomorrow.
And he could get another attribute tomorrow!
At that time, Zhao Zheng would have three attributes breaking 300.
If there were no powerful monsters in the first layer of the Spirit Realm, then don't blame him for going wild…
After washing up.
Zhao Zheng ate breakfast downstairs before heading to school.
When he arrived at the classroom, he was just on time.
The class bell rang.
Then, Old Chu followed closely behind and walked into the classroom.
“Tomorrow is the day you enter the first layer of the Spirit Realm, so after class today, don't go to training anymore. Have a good rest for a day! Recharge your energy and enter the Spirit Realm in the best condition!”
Hearing that they could rest, the crowd didn't show any joy, but many people looked nervous instead.
As long as they thought about entering the Spirit Realm tomorrow and facing the test of life and death, no one could relax.
Old Chu also had a serious expression and asked, “Have you all found your teammates?”
The students nodded one after another.
Then, everyone subconsciously turned their attention to Zhao Zheng…
