Chapter 35  : Crystal Core Exchange, Fang Yuan Killed Madly

  “Stop arguing.”

Instructor He Liwei interrupted their argument,

“Now, let’s count the crystal cores in our hands and go to the military supplies department to exchange for food and accommodation for tonight.”

They came to the entrance of the shop that looked like a snack bar next to the villa.

“I have a level-one crystal core.”

“This is a level-two crystal core. Can I exchange it for more?”

“Can I exchange the carcass of the demonized giant rat?”

“I want to eat!”

“Can I take a shower?!”

“I want to drink coke!”

“I want two clean quilts!”

After receiving the spoils of war, everyone couldn’t wait to carry out the trade.

Last night and the whole day’s battle had exhausted them. What they wanted to do the most at the moment was to eat a full meal, take a fragrant hot shower, and then crawl into the warm quilt to have a good sleep!

The salesperson of the military supplies department looked at everyone with a smile.

“Okay, okay. Please line up, one at a time.”

“Two quilts, sold at the price of a complete level-one demonized beast carcass. Thank you for your patronage.”

“One liter of Coke, sold at one level-one demonized beast crystal core. Thank you for your patronage.”

“Half a box of instant noodles, sold at one level-two demonized beast crystal core. Thank you for your patronage.”

“You need to go to the villa area’s bathhouse to take a bath. Each bath is priced at one level-one demonized beast crystal core.”

“If you want to spend the night in the villa area, please provide level-three demonized beast crystal core.”

“Also, a friendly reminder: the value of two demonized beast carcasses is equivalent to the demonized beast core of the same grade.”

Everyone was stunned.

“Wow! I’ve seen illegal shops, but I’ve never seen such illegal shops!”

“Big Brother, you’re robbing me in broad daylight! Are you crazy about money?”

“Do you know how much the crystal cores and demonized beast carcasses are worth outside? You’re really asking for too much!”

However, the salesperson only smiled slightly, “It’s very simple. Trading is a two-way transaction. If you feel that the price here is unreasonable, you can choose not to buy.”

This attitude made everyone so angry that they vomited blood.

The camp was three hundred kilometers away. Other than the military supplies department, there was no other shop.

It was impossible not to spend money here.

If you had no choice, you had to exchange the demonized beast crystal core. Otherwise, you would be left hungry and no place to sleep at night.

The students were covered in mud as they sat around the fire.

A bucket of instant noodles was passed from one end to the other, back and forth.

Everyone took a sip, and all the noodles were sucked clean.

Even the soup in the box was licked clean.

The night was long, but everyone was hungry and didn’t have the intention to sleep.

At this moment, a vague figure appeared in the light of the fire.

Fang Yuan walked in from outside the city. “Eh? What are all of you doing sitting in such a place? Why aren’t you staying at the Villa? What are you eating? Instant noodles? Why? Could it be that the roasted meat isn’t fragrant enough?”

Li Yi Zheng said, “D*mn, Brother Yuan! You’re finally back. You don’t know, do you? That military supplies department is ridiculously dark!”

Wang Zijun said, “Today, they all said that you had run away. Student Fang Yuan, I knew that you would come back.”

Zhang Yu said, “You really don’t know? That demonized giant rat was as big as a boar. It was really scary. All of us used our entire class’s strength and only managed to kill one.”

Chen Ying said, “No matter what, it’s good that you’re back. Have you not eaten yet? I still have half a pack of compressed biscuits here. Let me give you some.”

…

Seeing that Fang Yuan had returned, the students of The First High School reported to him about the situation of the day.

The students of the Experimental Middle School were not far away.

As they only had three demonized beast crystal cores and three carcasses in total, their lives would not be any better than those of the students of The First High School.

When they heard that Fang Yuan had returned, they all came over.

“The deserter is back? Let’s go! Let’s go and watch the joke!”

“Haha. Today, we have to teach this kid what it means by do not eat without working.”

“That’s for sure. The students of The First High School might not even be able to protect themselves. He ran away at the last minute, and he still want to eat? Let’s let him starve for a meal or two first!”

The students of the Experimental Middle School went over to joiin the fun when they saw Fang Yuan.

Although they didn’t eat much themselves, but when they saw Fang Yuan who had just returned, it seemed like he was in a worse situation than they were.

In comparison, they did not feel as miserable as Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan said, “I have not eaten, but I don’t plan to eat compressed biscuits. I want to change to something else.”

The people around were stunned. “Brother Yuan, you killed the demonized giant rat?”

“Yes,” Fang Yuan said calmly.

Fang Yuan’s companions started to get excited.

However, there were more voices of doubt from the Experimental Middle School.

“Good fellow, you can’t go to the battlefield, and you’re the best at bragging.”

“You ran away from the battlefield during the day, but you still dare to come back at night and say that you killed a monster.”

“How shameless.”

Fang Yuan ignored these voices. He walked straight to the military supplies exchange counter and summoned Chester to the table.

All what they could hear was “Crash! Crash! Crash!”

The sound of crystal cores hitting the counter continuously.

So many crystal cores!

So many, many crystal cores!

So many, many, many crystal cores!

Some were big and some small, but they were all shining with a pitch-black light and were stained with blood.

Obviously, they were the demonized giant rat crystal cores that he had obtained today.

“One, two, three… one hundred and seven, one hundred and eight, one hundred and nine, one hundred and ten!”

“Student Fang Yuan, you actually got one hundred and ten crystal cores by yourself?!”

The waiter whose face was black just now was shocked in his eyes. “You… how did you do it?”

“Killing monsters.”

Fang Yuan said calmly, “Didn’t you want to kill the demonized giant rats? I saw a few hundred of them outside the city, so I killed them all. However, there seemed to be a few left in the middle, and they ran into the city. After that, I couldn’t find them. I don’t know if you guys saw them.”

After hearing that, the other students were also speechless.

Li Yizheng cried out in surprise, and asked on behalf of everyone, “So the nine that entered the city, could it be that they just… just escaped from your battlefield?”

“It seems so.” Fang Yuan scratched his head and said.
