Chapter 21

Qin Huang didn't realize that Zhu Yingxuan had already set his sights on him. Even if he did know, he wouldn't have cared. His secrets weren't that easy to uncover.

He first took Wu De to the school infirmary for a check-up and found that the guy's injuries weren't as severe as they looked. This thick-skinned, heavyset fatty had a much stronger resistance to pain than he had imagined! After basic treatment and the application of an organic biological healing agent, the alarming bruises and bloodstains quickly disappeared.

So, fifteen minutes later, the two of them returned to the classroom for class.

"Boss, thanks to you today, otherwise that pair of scoundrels would have really messed me up!" Wu De said gratefully.

Qin Huang, while making course notes on his portable light brain, said, "That guy was probably after me when he picked a fight with you! Next time, don't try to be a hero. Just notify me as soon as you encounter such a situation. With me around, no one can do anything to you!"

Wu Neng, who was standing beside him, looked at his brother with confusion and couldn't help but whisper, "How did they find you? Was it really because you embarrassed them? Or is there another reason? You must know something!"

"Uh... I don't know, really..." Wu De's voice betrayed a hint of guilt.

Just as Wu Neng was about to ask more, Qin Huang vaguely sensed something amiss. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a light purple ** strap, connected to a delicate, semi-transparent bra **. It felt incredibly smooth and had a faint, pleasant fragrance.

"What is this..." Qin Huang was startled, then quickly regained his composure. He cautiously looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention, lowered his voice to ask, "Where did this come from? Could it be that what Shu Luoya said was true? Did you really steal her underwear?"

Wu De's face turned red, and he chuckled awkwardly, "Boss, well... that mean woman always badmouths us behind our backs. I just wanted to teach her a lesson. So..."

Outside, he knew Shu Luoya wouldn't let him off easily, so he took advantage of Qin Huang's distraction to secretly stash the stolen goods on him. That's why he was so willing when she proposed a strip search.

After all, no matter how powerful those two were, they wouldn't dare to search the boss. He was confident in his plan.

Qin Huang's face darkened, and he said angrily, "It seems you deserved that beating! If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten involved in your mess!"

"Boss, I... I won't do it again!" Wu De said in a low, guilty voice.

Qin Huang snorted coldly and said sternly, "Find a way to return the item! Remember, don't do such dirty things again. I'm ashamed of you!"

Wu Neng just shook his head. His brother had no other hobbies, just an excessive interest in **. He always hung around the girls' dormitories, looking for opportunities to "acquire" their personal items, which he would then keep as his private collection or even sell to others! For this, he had been cursed behind his back by many girls in the school.

Of course, this guy had a face thicker than a city wall, not only unashamed but also proud of being a "girlfriend"! He often boasted about his exploits to those around him.

After the afternoon classes ended, the three brothers left the teaching building. Qin Huang remembered his plan and took them to the large shopping area.

Compared to the outside, the various stores inside the military academy offered certain price advantages, especially for certain specialized cultivation resources, which were sold to students at more favorable prices.

Entering the main door, a few students were scattered around, browsing.

Qin Huang scanned the area and went straight to the high-end potion section. Each item here was extremely valuable, so they were all locked in transparent crystalline metal safes, fixed to alloy shelves, with various high-tech anti-theft measures. Some particularly important items even had robotic guards nearby.

"Welcome! Is there anything I can assist you with?" A beautiful and elegant female attendant greeted them politely.

Qin Huang said, "I'd like to see the Sand Rhino Golden Berry potion products. Do you have any in stock?"

The Sand Rhino Golden Berry is a specialty plant of the Xiro Kingdom, known for its fruit juice's excellent auxiliary cultivation effects, making it very popular in the human world.

The attendant immediately understood and asked, "You're planning to purify your constitution and increase your cultivation speed, right? We have an oral solution made primarily from Sand Rhino Golden Berries, combined with over a dozen precious herbs. Are you interested?"

She took out a golden-red oak box, with a red diamond logo on the lid, intricate green cloud patterns, and a bright silver border, making it look exquisite and luxurious.

Gently opening the lid, inside were five palm-sized light blue crystal bottles. The crystal-clear walls, illuminated by the white lights, emitted a smooth, watery glow. The light red liquid inside gently swayed with her movements, creating a mesmerizing effect.

This potion is one of the more popular cultivation resources on Dinas, mainly due to its mild nature. Although its effects are average compared to other potions of the same level, it is stable and has no negative side effects even with long-term use. It can also be used as a potent healing agent in emergencies.

However, its high price makes it a luxury item that only a few can afford.

"Alright! I'll take it!" Qin Huang examined it for a moment and said.

The attendant smiled and said, "This juice costs 3,000 star coins per bottle. How many would you like?"

"Twenty bottles!" Qin Huang's words drew the attention of the other students in the store, their envy and jealousy evident.

3,000 star coins is no small amount, equivalent to a year and a half of living expenses for an average student. This price is enough to deter most students in the school. Only wealthy students like Xiao Pingyue and Zhu Yingxuan could afford it.

Twenty bottles of juice cost 60,000 star coins, a staggering sum for ordinary people, requiring a decade of hard work to save up!

It wasn't until Qin Huang paid with his card that Wu De and his brother realized he wasn't joking. They asked in disbelief, "Boss, when did you get so much money? Did you really rob a bank?"

"What are you talking about!" Qin Huang glared at him and said irritably, "I earned it all myself!"

Seeing that they were about to ask more, he waved his hand and said, "Don't ask here. I'll explain when we get back!"

The attendant took out a box, packed the four potion boxes inside, sealed it, and handed it to him, saying respectfully, "Thank you for your purchase, sir. We hope to see you again!"

With less than a month until the final exams, taking one bottle a day and practicing continuously would be enough to raise his source energy index to over 12 by the exam day! Not only would he pass without any pressure, but he could also secure a spot among the 300 elite mobile warriors.

Once he became an official mobile warrior, his status in the school would significantly improve. The school would regularly provide a certain amount of cultivation resources, and he would receive discounts when purchasing various potions in the future.

As they were about to leave, a coquettish voice came from outside, "Darling, you promised to buy me two bottles of Sand Rhino Golden Berry juice last time. You must keep your word!"

Zhu Yingxuan chuckled and said, "Of course! When have I ever lied to you? I brought you here this time, didn't I?"

In a moment, a handsome man and a beautiful woman walked in. The woman was wearing a white dress, her fair and delicate skin making her look charming and captivating. It was Su Wenxue.

"Hey! Why is it you?" She saw Qin Huang's face as soon as she entered and was taken aback, then asked in surprise.

Qin Huang had no interest in speaking and nodded at her indifferently before heading for the door.

"Hmm? Wait!" Zhu Yingxuan saw him and, as his gaze fell on the box in the young man's hand, his eyes narrowed in surprise, "Is that... Sand Rhino Golden Berry? How did you get it?"

The box still had a label, so he recognized it immediately.

Qin Huang said coolly, "Of course, I bought it! What else did you think?"

"This is impossible!" Su Wenxue's face changed. In her memory, the young man didn't seem to have a prominent family background, and such items should have been out of his reach. She couldn't understand why he not only had the means to buy such high-end cultivation resources but also in such a large quantity!

Thinking about how she herself couldn't afford such precious resources and had to repeatedly beg her boyfriend to get him to agree, she felt a strange sense of frustration.

Zhu Yingxuan's expression turned serious as he examined him closely, "I never thought you'd have the means to afford such things. No wonder your strength has improved so quickly. I wonder where you got the star coins."

Qin Huang smiled faintly, "That? I'll answer your questions patiently when you become a judge. But for now, I can only say, 'no comment.'"

Zhu Yingxuan's face darkened. He wanted to lash out, but remembering that the young man's strength was no longer what it used to be, he might still be stronger, but he wasn't confident he could suppress him. If they came to blows, he might be the one to suffer.

Thinking about the ongoing investigation into his past, he decided to wait until he had more information before deciding how to deal with him.

In the end, he just nodded and, without a word, led his girlfriend away.
