NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 66: Let’s Make a Deal
In the evening, Zhong Tianyue, eating dinner with a small glass of wine, watched the scene appearing on his home projector with an amused expression.
He savored a sip of wine, his expression one of enjoyment.
He felt all his worries had been swept away.
This wine was something he had wheedled out of an old war buddy after much effort, usually too precious to drink.
Only because today's situation was special, needing to observe the battle, did he bring out this long-treasured treat.
When distributing God's Domain account login codes to each new student, the school actually had supervisory rights. The principal and high-level education department officials could observe students' actions through backend privileges, though only some records were available, it was convenient for identifying geniuses.
This authority would be transferred to the corresponding university the student entered after three years, until observation ended upon university graduation.
It was because of this that Zhong Tianyue had known Xu Luo had become an invading hunter.
This time, to increase his achievements and enhance his seed authority level, he even went so far as to explicitly suggest Xu Luo stir up trouble.
With curiosity, under the pretext of observing student situations, he had requested viewing rights from his direct superior to more intuitively observe battle scenes within Divine Realms.
After waiting several days with no movement, he knew this kid was preparing for something big.
Finally, today, action was taken, and in one go, eleven targets were hit, truly giving him a shock.
Previously, attacking five simultaneously was already exaggerated, but now it was even more reckless.
His so-called "make a big commotion" only meant for Xu Luo to take down several alien races within a certain time, eight or ten would do, but he hadn't said to attack so many at once!
To his credit, while attacking alien races, Xu Luo still thought to message the nearby human Demi-God to leave that area.
The battle with Moji made Zhong Tianyue a bit nervous.
After all, the Mercury civilization was a Level 3 civilization, the hegemon of the nearby star region, truly incomparable to humans.
But in the end, Moji actually fled without a fight.
Although Moji wasn't the most famous genius in the Mercury civilization, he was at least in the third echelon. Being from a Level 3 civilization, many surrounding civilizations paid close attention to Mercury's new Gods.
Moji, who had developed for nine years, ultimately abandoned his Divine Realm and fled. Even Zhong Tianyue was surprised by his decisiveness.
Putting himself in that position, having developed painstakingly for so many years, facing the sudden destruction of his Divine Realm, Zhong Tianyue felt he might not be as decisive as Moji when faced with such a choice.
However, taking out eleven alien races in one go was very satisfying to Zhong Tianyue. With this achievement submitted, even those above would have no reason to reject his application.
Just as Zhong Tianyue was contentedly sipping his wine, he saw that Xu Luo didn't stop while ahead.
Instead, after some activity within his Divine Realm, he produced even more units than before, then hurriedly went to invade others.
Unable to view inside the Divine Realm core, he didn't know exactly what happened, but at his age, he could guess that breeding cards or similar items were used to rapidly increase troops.
Then, the next moment, seeing him attack seventeen targets simultaneously, Zhong Tianyue felt a rush of blood to his head, almost choking on his breath.
"This brat!"
He should have quit while he was ahead after winning the first wave, but unexpectedly, he wanted to launch a second wave.
He was also very surprised at Xu Luo's strength. Being able to field so many troops the first time, and then refresh so many more, though prepared in advance, for a civilian kid without backing to achieve this level was enough to shock anyone.
Zhong Tianyue didn't hesitate to report the matter upwards, because this was beyond his ability to handle, and even the most capable students in their school couldn't help.
Reporting to the Education Department could allow them to screen for the most capable students nearby to provide support.
Watching the Zerg fiercely destroy one Divine Realm core after another, Zhong Tianyue hurriedly took a few sips of wine to calm his nerves.
The small plate of vegetables costing over 40 credits no longer seemed as delicious.
Even though he was the principal, with an income much higher than ordinary people, plus additional income from his Divine Realm, such natural vegetables were still considered a luxury.
Seeing Xu Luo defeat the second wave of enemies and begin to clean up the battlefield, Zhong Tianyue was happy but also a bit troubled.
It was good that this kid was powerful, but if he kept doing this, it would be beyond his ability to cover up!
When he saw the dense starships appear, Zhong Tianyue was also a bit frightened.
It had been a long time since such a large-scale operation occurred in the novice Divine Realm.
The kid had just been through a major battle, his units hadn't rested, and he estimated that breeding cards had been mostly used up earlier.
At this point, facing such a large joint encirclement by alien races, it would be hard to withstand.
Zhong Tianyue hurriedly messaged his direct superior.
"Old Wen, how's the contact going? Big trouble's brewing!"
"What's the rush? I'm busy here!" On the other end, Wen Zheng, the deputy director of Tianhai City's Education Department, retorted irritably.
"It was your bad idea, old man. You come running to me when there's trouble. Even I can't handle such a fierce student!"
At this moment, Wen Zheng was also observing the battle while using his authority to search for the nearest human new-generation experts.
Such a genius must be rescued; it would be too much of a waste to let him be encircled and killed like this.
Previously, he hadn't paid much attention to a new student, but this student was too impressive, destroying one alien race after another. Now, hearing old Zhong Tianyue's words about making a big commotion, taking out so many alien races at once, if they didn't protect him, what were they even there for?
"The nearest to him are Li Guangzheng, ten coordinate points away, and Xu Nana, eleven coordinate points away. I'm notifying both of them to provide support now. As for the cost of this rescue, it'll be deducted from his seed treatment!"
"Hurry, hurry!" Zhong Tianyue urged.
As for the treatment, with his Divine Realm about to be breached, who could care about such things?
Just as he hung up the call, Zhong Tianyue's communication device rang again.
Seeing the name, Zhong Tianyue was stunned.
Wasn't this kid in the middle of a battle? How could he be calling?
Was he asking for help?
Thinking this, Zhong Tianyue decided to teach this kid a lesson.
After connecting the call, he remained silent, just listening.
"Teacher, why don't we make a deal?"
Unexpectedly, after connecting the call, the first words from the other side were these.
Hearing this, Zhong Tianyue was very surprised, mainly because he hadn't expected that in the face of encirclement, Xu Luo's first words wouldn't be a plea for help, but a proposal to make a deal with him.
