The instructors were already aware of Wu Youren's abilities.
They could also guess that, besides the methods he had shown, the boy probably had some other secrets he was keeping hidden.
In any case, in the eyes of these instructors, he could at least be considered "lucky".
In this respect, he is somewhat similar to Chen Quanxu.
Manna has some social connections, and others have similar needs; who would complain about having too many strange objects?
Wu Youren called for help, she was his first choice—after all, he was the creditor—and Kenpa was the second choice.
The latter is older and should have more experience handling similar situations.
As it turned out, Luo Xi arrived in her car with a group of people, Daiqisi even followed them.
Having lots of friends is definitely necessary! While Wu Youren was happy, he also secretly reminded himself: be careful!
Moderate generosity can help you make friends, but if you don't control it well, it can easily breed greed.
Luo Xi chased away the onlookers; what everyone was most interested in was, as expected, what he had gained during his ten-plus days away.
The boy hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Have you asked Hong Da about this?"
No matter what, always put the leader first. This is true in a society based on personal connections, and even more so in a barbaric society!
"You're one of the smarter guys!" A hoarse, smoky voice rang out, but the person was nowhere to be seen. "I was wondering where Manna was in such a hurry to go."
"I'll choose first. If it's not important, you can have it. Remember, fair trade!"
When the Great Knight spoke, even the previously assertive Daiqisi could only stick out her tongue inwardly.
"This harvest was a bit disappointing," Wu Youren said. "There were only two strange objects in total, and no crystals."
"Let me see it," Luo Xi said urgently, then glanced warily to his left and right.
"Wait a moment, there are still those few, including Instructor Burning Blood," the boy said calmly.
"Let me make this clear first, you guys should discuss who gets to keep it yourselves. Don't ask me about it, I can't get involved."
"Good for you, little guy, you're sensible," Kenpa laughed upon hearing this, "At least you haven't gotten cocky. I have high hopes for you."
Even in fair trade, sellers have considerable power when it comes to in-demand goods.
It's truly impressive that someone so young can understand self-control and resist the temptations of power.
"No crystals again?" Manna couldn't help but ask, "Did you go into the mountains, or did you awaken your powers?"
If you become Ability User Apprentice, you'll need to use Resentment Qi Crystal in many situations.
This question was a bit rash, but Wu Youren secretly gave it a thumbs up: Great assist!
He shook his head. "How could I dare go into the mountains? But recently, there have been a sudden increase in Corpse Weird, and it seems like more monsters are dropping."
Ordinary formless Weird Race mainly drop crystals, while Corpse Weird drop roughly half.
However, since he only summoned strange creatures, it's not surprising that he formed this impression.
"That's a surge of Weird Qi," Kenpa replied casually, then asked in surprise, "You didn't know?"
"He secretly ran off to Tianjing," Manna snorted coldly, then her expression turned serious. " Hong Da asked me to ask you something: What happened?"
With a total population of Tianjing million, it would be difficult to keep track of the comings and goings of any one individual.
However, the occasion Wu Youren experienced was rather unusual, and his own image was also quite unique.
He didn't know that those chasing him were from the New Army system, but the Earl Jing'an and the people from the Youthful Splendor Martial Academy recognized him.
So it was perfectly normal for the news to reach Hong Da's ears.
Wu Youren was prepared for this problem. "Well, I want to build some mechanisms, but I can't find suitable materials in the Red Pine."
Red Pine Martial Academy is located in the far suburbs of Tianjing. Although its supporting facilities are complete, its supply of materials is not as comprehensive as that of Tianjing.
"Then you can tell me!" Manna said seriously.
"I have no idea what we'll find," the boy said, shrugging. "It's better to see for ourselves."
Manna looked at him thoughtfully and asked, "Didn't you take on some mission from your head guard?"
This question is a bit malicious, but the fact that she asked it directly proves it's not that important—at least she had a chance to explain.
Wu Youren touched his forehead and sighed, "Alright, I'd also like to know about the market price for ghost items."
It's not that I don't trust Hong Da's valuation, it's simply that it's good!
"Still can't be trusted?" someone laughed, as Instructor Burning Blood had also arrived.
"Nan Little Wu, you're thinking of me. Um, there's definitely a price difference between Tianjing and Red Pine."
"But you're a smart man, so let me ask you one question... Even if you were in Tianjing and could sell the strange artifact for a higher price, would you dare to sell it?"
"I wouldn't dare," Wu Youren shook his head and answered honestly, "I didn't do anything this time, yet I was chased for several blocks!"
"The ones chasing you are from the New Army," Daiqisi said. " Hong Da is preventing you from going to Tianjing for your own good."
"Once you're detained, those people aren't as reasonable as Red Pine, and the Martial Academy might also be dragged into a quagmire because of you."
"Yes," Wu Youren nodded obediently, "I understand from now on."
Although his "little scheme" was seen through, he didn't think it was a bad thing.
Who can act without self-interest? He's not a saint.
"During your two days in Tianjing, the Weird Qi broke through the blockade," Daiqisi said solemnly, "The reason is unknown."
"To be honest, it was so sudden and out of nowhere that if you weren't in the city, you probably couldn't completely deny it."
"Huh?" The boy was stunned, his mouth agape. "This... this... this is giving me way too much credit!"
"The main problem is that you've only just met your boss," Ranxue said leisurely. "You know, some things are better left undone than killed!"
"But..." Wu Youren's mouth moved, as if he wanted to argue something.
In the end, he sighed and gave a bitter laugh, "So being chased and chased around is actually a good thing?"
He had already figured out this logic, and even Chen Quanxu thought it wasn't entirely a bad thing.
However, when it's time to act, you still have to act. After all, who isn't an actor in their own life?

"Alright, stop scaring him," Manna said.
Was I bluffing? Ranxue didn't bother explaining further, glancing at the boy, "Fighting Corpse Weird alone, you have some serious tastes."
"When it comes to making money, why should I be picky?" Wu Youren smiled dismissively.
Then he carefully looked around before cautiously pulling a leather pouch out of his backpack.
Inside the skin were two strange objects, one light gray and the other dark blue.
The fact that these people are huddled together so mysteriously doesn't mean they have no one to help them.
A sense tried to probe over, and suddenly a cold snort came, "Hmm?"
Hong Da insists on prioritizing the spoils of war, but when trouble comes, she's truly capable of handling it!
After dispelling the other Great Knight ' senses, she said, "These are all drops from the Corpse Weird, you can choose."
There have been many Corpse Weird lately, and the strange items that have been exposed have become known to many people.
Instructor Hong also wanted those two items, but since they weren't particularly rare, she didn't see the need to compete with the Knight for them.
"You guys are going a bit too far," a female archer said as an SUV pulled up.
One of her hands was still wrapped in bandages, an injury from frequently drawing the bow.
The male archers who were absent were more seriously injured—they had been temporarily conscripted by the Martial Academy a few days ago when the Corpse Weird were rampant.
The two instructors had already completed their annual mission, but suppressing the Corpse Weird required long-range firepower, and they couldn't back out of this situation.
Fortunately, it's purely a ranged attack unit, and it has the right to retreat in close combat, so the danger isn't too great.
"You'll get a share," Manna said with a smile, "It's just a matter of time."
They were chatting happily when, around noon, a slight commotion arose inside the quarantine site.
The already unpalatable cafeteria food became even more bland and watery.
Many martial artists complained, "We're just being isolated, not being imprisoned, okay?"
However, I could barely tolerate eating less at one or two meals, but by the afternoon, I was running out of some types of wound medicine.
The main supplier of these materials is Red Pine.
In the surrounding area, only a force as large as Red Pine could organize such a massive supply chain.
The government can only mediate, let alone now that it's snowing and the roads are difficult to travel.
The staff at Red Pine explained that due to the heavy snowfall, the Martial Academy was also experiencing shortages, and anyone who couldn't stand it could leave the quarantine site.
This put pressure on the military; if the quarantine sites continued to be run around like this, something bad was going to happen.
The military could only find Red Pine's people to ask them, "What exactly do you mean by this?"
The people on Red Pine's side were also furious, "They eat our food, drink our water, and even steal from us... We can't afford to serve this kind of arrogant person!"
The incident involving the boy who kept the bird was just the trigger; similar incidents had occurred frequently at the quarantine site before.
The isolated Red Pine people are easy to coordinate internally, but the martial artists from outside are a mixed bag, with all sorts of people.
Everyone wanted to use this opportunity to tell outsiders who the real owners of this place are!
The truth was eventually revealed.
The group that bullied Wu Youren, numbering over a dozen, couldn't withstand the pressure and had no choice but to leave the quarantine site dejectedly.
It's freezing cold, the roads are blocked by heavy snow, and supplies are scarce. Leaving at this time is really not a good choice.
But these people just wouldn't pay up, which really shows their backbone.
However, for the people of Red Pine: to act tough on our territory?
This time it really has nothing to do with Wu Youren. As a local tyrant, who doesn't have a temper?
The group drove three SUVs away from the quarantine point, followed by more than a dozen other vehicles at a distance.
Further on... there are still faint little black dots, but they're not very clear!
The three cars drove for more than a kilometer, then with a turn of the steering wheel, they obediently drove back.
Supplies were already scarce, medical supplies were in short supply, and even fuel was running low.
This group was determined not to back down; if they had no other choice, they would go find the Barbarian Tribe.
Whether you seek refuge or rob, the supplies you have are simply not enough to survive.
However, the vehicles following behind were filled with blatant malice!
Faced with the choice between willfulness and humiliation, they chose willfulness and humiliation!
