Quite Interesting (Ninth Extra Update)

Quite Interesting~ (Ninth Extra Update)

Herta was Yao Lan's first clone, and Liu Ying was the third. So who was the second clone?

Other than my adorable Asta, who else could it be?

The show was about to begin!

"I'm terribly sorry about what happened. I'm the owner here, Asta. Could I ask everyone to keep what just happened confidential?"

"We will offer compensation that satisfies all of you."

As Asta's voice reached the three of them, the students immediately turned their gazes toward Wu Zhangkong. After all, he was the only teacher here, so he was naturally the one who made the decisions.

"There's no need for compensation. After all, it was my students who came here first and set off the series of events that followed. We are the ones who should be apologizing... I'm sorry!"

Wu Zhangkong was clearly someone who knew when to yield. Although the owner had taken the initiative to admit fault, she was merely giving them a way out. Both sides could take a step back and pretend nothing had happened.

After all, if Wu Zhangkong truly demanded compensation and word of what had happened here got out, both he and his students would suffer severe damage to their reputations.

Rumors were terrifyingly destructive. Wu Zhangkong did not want his students to be treated that way, so he lowered his head.

"I'm sorry!"

Seeing Wu Zhangkong lower his head and bow to her, Xie Xie and Tang Wulin immediately followed suit. This incident had started because of the two of them, so it would have been hard to justify not apologizing.

But in the end, it had all been caused by curiosity. The two of them took this lesson to heart and swore they would never make the same mistake again.

"Sigh! You really are a good teacher!" Asta could not help but sigh. Wu Zhangkong had done this clearly for the sake of his students. "In that case, let's consider this matter settled..."

"Waaah... Thank you, Teacher Wu!"

Xie Xie was so moved that he threw his arms around Wu Zhangkong's leg. Even Tang Wulin held this teacher of his in great respect.

Yet at that crucial moment, a voice sounded beside them. It was Asta, the owner of Winterfire Hall.

"Teacher Wu? Could you be... Teacher Wu Zhangkong from Eastsea Academy?" Asta studied the man before her uncertainly, as if confirming his identity.

"Yes, I'm Wu Zhangkong. Is there a problem?" Wu Zhangkong did not particularly care about his reputation outside the academy. The names of powerful people always spread far and wide, so it was not strange for others to have heard of him somewhere.

But Asta's next words immediately made the atmosphere turn strange.

"So you're Teacher Wu Zhangkong! We had originally planned to deliver it directly to your door, but since you're already here, you might as well take it with you!"

"Something? What something? Why don't I know about it?" If it were something he had bought, Wu Zhangkong would certainly remember it. Yet he had no impression of this at all.

"Oh, it's like this." Looking at Wu Zhangkong, Asta began to explain. "Because of the special nature of our store, we provide home delivery."

"Someone bought something from us some time ago, and the name and address they provided happened to be Teacher Wu Zhangkong of Eastsea Academy."

"Look, this is it!"

Asta took something out of her Storage Soul Guidance Device. The sight instantly left everyone present dumbfounded.

Xie Xie and Tang Wulin's expressions toward Wu Zhangkong changed from respect to disbelief. Liu Ying covered her mouth, clearly unwilling to reveal her expression, but her eyes had already given everything away...

Teacher Wu, you bought one long ago?

This was absolutely terrible!

As for what Asta had taken out... it was an object wrapped in a coarse burlap sack. Yet anyone could tell from its shape that it was humanoid, and most likely one of the dolls sold in this store!

Most importantly... it had the words "Confidential Delivery" stuck on it.

Who were you trying to fool?

How was this thing supposed to be confidential?

Even Wu Zhangkong could no longer keep it together. He had just finished teaching his students a lesson, so why had something this huge immediately landed on him?

If this got delivered straight to Eastsea Academy, how was he supposed to continue being a teacher?

It would be complete social death!

Forget staying on Douluo Star—he might as well change planets and start a new life!

"I seem to have... never bought anything like this, have I?"

Wu Zhangkong's mouth twitched. He had never imagined things would develop like this. Reality truly had no logic whatsoever!

Still, he had to get to the bottom of this. Why was something like this being sent to him?

"This... I don't know either. How about you open it and take a look?"

Asta's expression clearly showed that she did not know the specifics either, so she suggested that Wu Zhangkong open it. But before that... he needed to send his students away!

If his students really saw something inappropriate, he would be finished as a teacher too.

"You go back to the academy first. Attend class tomorrow and train as usual. I'll return shortly..." Although the way his students looked at him had already changed, Wu Zhangkong still put on a teacher's authority and chased them all away.

"Let me see who exactly pulled this kind of prank!"

Wu Zhangkong was furious beyond measure. Someone out there actually dared to make such a joke at his expense?

If he found out who the mastermind was, he would definitely teach them a proper lesson!

However, when the humanoid package was truly opened, Wu Zhangkong froze. The figure inside was so familiar that it felt as though everything had returned to the past.

A tear slid from the corner of Wu Zhangkong's eye, completely softening the expression of the aloof male idol.

"Bing'er..."

The doll inside the package was none other than Wu Zhangkong's beloved, Long Bing!

But who exactly had done this?

"Hm? What's this?"

In Long Bing's doll hand, Wu Zhangkong found a letter. And the handwriting on it... somehow felt familiar!

To Teacher Wu:

Sorry, Teacher Wu. There was an error in the experiment, so the matter of resurrection will have to wait until later. Please make do with this for now.

—Herta.

Wu Zhangkong: "..."

I was wondering who it was. So it was you!

"Do you still want this doll? If not, you can return it..." Asta's voice came from beside him, and Wu Zhangkong immediately snapped back to his senses.

"Yes! Why wouldn't I?"

The item had already arrived here. If he returned it now and someone else bought it to defile it, what then? Even if it was not the real Long Bing, Wu Zhangkong could not accept someone else doing that to her...

"You didn't make any extras, did you?" Wu Zhangkong's gaze turned dangerous at that moment. If he found out there were any other Long Bing dolls, he would tear this store apart!

"Don't worry about that. This doll was specially customized, and there absolutely cannot be a second one!" Asta patted her chest in assurance. Wu Zhangkong looked genuinely terrifying right now.

"It had better be..."

Afterward, Wu Zhangkong still took the doll away. But as Asta watched his departing figure, the corners of her lips gradually curled upward, and a flash of red light passed through her eyes...

"Quite interesting~"

Breaking the limit, ninth extra update!

But I really need to sleep now. There isn't enough time left for me to write another chapter. Good night, really.
