58: Just take first place!

After putting away the mandel brick, Liu Yan continued to stake out Bakshi.

Liu Yan staked out until nightfall but didn't see Chen Yu.

Even the next day, Liu Yan continued to stake out for an entire day, and by the afternoon, he still hadn't found Chen Yu.

This made Liu Yan wonder if someone else had retaliated against Chen Yu.

After much thought, Liu Yan returned to the school; tomorrow was the day of the Inter-school Sniper Elite Competition.

Liu Yan planned to visit the Principal to see how Fuji's after-effects were being treated.

He also had an M700 stored in Fuji's warehouse, and Liu Yan intended to use this opportunity to retrieve it.

Knock, knock, knock—

"Enter."

Only after Principal Wang's voice came from inside the Principal's office did Liu Yan push the door open and enter.

As soon as he entered, Liu Yan saw a figure sitting opposite the Principal; it was Fuji.

"Brother Ji?" Liu Yan asked tentatively.

Fuji turned around in surprise, but upon seeing Liu Yan, his expression became a little dimmer.

Seeing Fuji's appearance, Liu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and the guilt in his heart lessened considerably.

"Do you know that ECMO can only be used once?" Fuji's voice trembled slightly.

"If I'm not mistaken, you already have three after-effects. Using it on you would clearly be more cost-effective!"

The Principal couldn't help but speak at this moment:

"This guy has been pestering me all day, insisting on buying another ECMO from me to give to you, and saying I could name any price. But I only had that one."

Seeing that Fuji's after-effects had completely disappeared, Liu Yan felt much more relaxed and joked with a smile:

"It's fine, no matter how many after-effects I have, at least I haven't turned into an idiot yet."

Saying this, Liu Yan patted Fuji's shoulder.

Although Liu Yan was joking lightheartedly, to Fuji, it was not so.

For Liu Yan, ECMO might just eliminate after-effects.

But for himself, this was a special item his father never found, even until his death.

And the other party, despite suffering from triple after-effects, had simply given it to him.

"Anything in my warehouse, you can use freely from now on," Fuji said seriously.

Before Liu Yan could refuse, Fuji quickly raised a hand to interrupt:

"My warehouse is your warehouse, no more nonsense. When you graduate, come to my company, and I'll give you the highest industry benefits. If there's no money, I'll find a way!"

Hearing this, Principal Wang immediately couldn't sit still.

"Ahem, young man, I just finished using ECMO on you, and you're poaching my student right in front of me?"

Fuji scratched his head awkwardly.

Seeing the atmosphere become a bit awkward, Liu Yan quickly interrupted:

"Alright, Brother Ji, stop being sentimental. Let's go. I was originally going to the warehouse with you to retrieve the sniper rifle from before."

Hearing "sniper rifle," the Principal remembered that Liu Yan was going to participate in the Inter-school Sniper Elite Competition tomorrow and looked at Liu Yan, asking:

"By the way, for tomorrow's Inter-school Sniper Elite Competition, how confident are you?"

"For the sniper rifle, I'm actually not too confident, about 70%," Liu Yan replied honestly.

The Principal nodded, then reminded him:

"The Inter-school Sniper Elite is an individual competition, two people per school, with overall rankings based on the number of kills and the order of death."

"There are three people you need to pay special attention to."

"They are Xiao Soul from Royal Noble School, Liu Yang from New Era School, and... Shen Cangsheng from Third Academy..."

When mentioning Shen Cangsheng, a hint of worry appeared on the Principal's face.

Third Academy was undoubtedly the most top-tier school here, and anyone they sent to participate in the Inter-school Sniper Elite Competition would undoubtedly be a genius among geniuses!

Thinking of this, Principal Wang shook his head helplessly.

Indeed, he was pushing Liu Yan too hard. He shouldn't have forced Liu Yan using the guise of campus gangsterism before; now it was a bit hard to back out.

If Liu Yan didn't get first place, should he expel him?

Expel him? The Principal didn't dare to imagine what those students would do.

Not expel him? Then wouldn't he be breaking his word, slapping himself in the face?

Moreover, he still wanted to recruit Liu Yan to return to the school as a teacher after graduation. Even if it was just a visiting position, the improvement in the overall student level would be absolutely immeasurable.

Thinking of this, Principal Wang said seriously:

"Liu Yan, as long as you can get into the top five, I will personally give you a reward."

It should be known that Liu Yan's school, since its establishment, had never achieved a ranking within the top 20 in the Inter-school Competition.

"Is it quantum storage?" Liu Yan asked, his eyes lighting up.

The Principal had an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"

"How could I have quantum storage? No one who has that thing is an ordinary person."

"Most of them are given as rewards; otherwise, they wouldn't be exempt from inspection."

"Let me put it this way: if you put contraband into quantum storage right in front of security personnel, they can't do anything about it."

"You should know, it's not just a storage function; it also represents a symbol of status."

After listening to the Principal, Liu Yan shook his head.

He had thought he could get quantum storage without much effort.

But now it seemed he had no choice but to take first place.

He hadn't used the bust he brought out from Longbow Stream Valley until now.

Although the bust was not prohibited, it was inconvenient to carry, and if he unfortunately died and dropped it, the loss would be too great.

This was why Liu Yan hadn't used the bust after bringing it out.

The same applied to the weapon he brought out later.

As long as he obtained quantum storage, he could store all the big red in his possession, then stuff the quantum storage into his crotch.

This would allow him to carry it almost perfectly while greatly reducing the risk of dropping it upon death. This was simply the safe deposit box of the Third District.

Seeing Liu Yan shake his head, Principal Wang seemed to have anticipated such a reaction and sighed helplessly.

Indeed, getting fifth place in front of the geniuses from various schools was still too much for him.

"Alright, if you can get into the top ten, I will also personally give you a reward."

Liu Yan shook his head again.

"Forget it."

Seeing Liu Yan about to give up, Principal Wang began to get anxious.

Since the school's establishment, only Gao Tianyu had emerged as a genius like Liu Yan.

Although Gao Tianyu was also participating in this competition, besides Gao Tianyu, Liu Yan was undoubtedly the best candidate.

In fact, in the Principal's mind, Liu Yan was slightly stronger than Gao Tianyu.

"The last concession I can make is, entering the top 15, but on the premise that your ranking surpasses Gao Tianyu's."

"Don't bargain anymore. Even if Gao Tianyu enters this rank, I won't give him a reward!"

In fact, the Principal clearly knew that Gao Tianyu did not have the strength to enter this rank.

Although he was only slightly inferior to Liu Yan, he was more skilled in team cooperation.

Liu Yan, on the other hand, had almost always fought alone until now.

Liu Yan realized that Principal Wang seemed to have misunderstood him and explained with a smile:

"You misunderstood, you don't need to give me a reward. I only want the first-place quantum storage."
