90: Principal Wang's collapse

"You two, cover me," Liu Yan said, looking around furtively.

"Alright," Zhao Chuang and Fuji nodded, surrounding Liu Yan.

With lightning speed, Liu Yan pulled out the quantum storage from his crotch.

If it were before, there would be no need for such an elaborate process; finding an isolated spot would suffice.

But now, the Third District was bustling with people.

"buddy, we're already in the Top Secret Area. We won't come back if we die, so there's no need to stuff it in your crotch, right?"

Fuji suddenly thought of this, asking suspiciously.

"You wouldn't understand."

Liu Yan shook his head. Someone like Fuji, who had never played delta operation, would never comprehend the sense of security that stuffing things in one's crotch provided.

As Liu Yan tapped his fingertip, he retrieved the powerful vacuum cleaner, filled with equipment, from the quantum storage.

Even if it was full of equipment, it wouldn't affect the powerful vacuum cleaner's own weight.

And it could also be put into quantum storage, which made Liu Yan feel like he had discovered a new world.

If quantum storage was a safe for big red with infinite capacity, then the powerful vacuum cleaner was practically a safe that could hold all items in the Third District!

Combining these two meant all the resources on the entire map could be directly tucked into his pocket, allowing him to run and jump without hindrance.

After retrieving the powerful vacuum cleaner, the three searched high and low, finally finding the Old Man at the Recycling Stall they had seen earlier.

"This Third District is like a night market now," Fuji grumbled, looking at the vendors and shops everywhere.

"Old Man, this pile and that pile over there, calculate how much they're worth."

Liu Yan poured out all the junk equipment and miscellaneous items from the vacuum cleaner.

Five sets were for the Soldiers to wear later, and six sets were naturally for themselves.

The Old Man at the Recycling Stall rubbed his eyes, looked at Liu Yan, then at the equipment on the ground, and remained silent for a moment.

"You've joined my line of work too?"

He really couldn't figure out where the three of them had gotten so much junk.

If it were anyone else, these items wouldn't be bad.

But for Liu Yan, except for their very first meeting, the Old Man had rarely received such items from him since then.

"Same as before, sell all of these," Liu Yan said, looking at the Old Man.

"These things will take quite a while to calculate."

"Once I've calculated everything, I'll just transfer the money directly to you."

Ultimately, the Old Man shook his head, somewhat helpless.

Actually, he used to always collect these kinds of things, but ever since Liu Yan appeared, he had been spoiled a bit.

Each time, it was high-value, exquisite items, which not only brought high profits but also made accounting simple.

"Alright," Liu Yan nodded.

Before leaving, Liu Yan suddenly remembered something and turned back.

"Hire a few more people these next few days. I might have even more to sell than this in a few days, and you might not be able to handle it alone."

"If it's really not possible, I can give you a 3% discount then."

Considering the potentially massive volume later, Liu Yan specifically made a concession.

After all, each previous evacuation, with the three of them combined, only amounted to five or six million, sometimes seven or eight million.

But with the powerful vacuum cleaner, it was different. Emptying the map directly, twenty million in one round was not a problem.

"That's all for today. We won't be entering the Third District tomorrow because there's a graduation assessment that Zhao Chuang and I both have to attend."

After leaving the recycling stall, Liu Yan said to Fuji.

"Alright, you two are finally graduating. Come join my company then."

"Zhao Chuang, study hard for the exam. Without a graduation certificate, you won't be able to join the company. I won't even be able to pull strings for you."

Fuji turned to Zhao Chuang and reminded him.

Zhao Chuang scratched his head and glanced at Liu Yan.

Whether he could graduate or not, wasn't that just a matter of Brother Yan going easy on him?

After saying goodbye, Fuji walked towards the distant teleportation gate.

Liu Yan and Zhao Chuang walked together towards the school's teleportation gate. At this moment, Zhao Chuang spoke softly:

"Brother Yan, tomorrow's assessment..."

Even with his current muscle enhancements and the dark blue equipment opened from the mandel brick, facing Liu Yan, Zhao Chuang clearly knew his win rate was 0.

Unless, two more shield-bearers came along, and it was indoors, and there was an information asymmetry.

"Don't worry, I'll give it my all," Liu Yan nodded seriously.

"Although I've been saying the assessment is troublesome for the past few days, the Principal did use an ECMO for Brother Ji after all."

"No, Brother Yan, I mean... look..." Zhao Chuang stammered.

Asking Liu Yan to go easy on him was undoubtedly cheating, and this was what Zhao Chuang cared about most.

But without cheating, he absolutely couldn't graduate, and he would have to repeat the year, or even be unable to act with Liu Yan and Fuji.

"What the hell are you mumbling about? Speak louder!" Liu Yan shouted with a frown.

He hated it most when someone buzzed like a mosquito in his ear.

"Go easy on me!" Zhao Chuang gritted his teeth and replied righteously.

Liu Yan looked at Zhao Chuang's righteous face and was stunned for a moment.

"That's it? I thought you wanted to prove yourself in the assessment."

He had just thought Zhao Chuang was worried that he wouldn't take the assessment seriously when he was the examiner.

"Don't worry, the assessment won't be as difficult as you think. It's probably just everyone being graded according to their performance."

"With your current strength, even if I don't go easy on you, your score will definitely be enough to graduate."

After hearing Liu Yan's words, Zhao Chuang nodded, half-understanding.

As the two stepped through the teleportation gate and returned to school, they immediately heard Principal Wang's angry voice from the corridor.

"Joining you would have to be after he's revived! He's dead now!"

"Are you just going to watch such a genius perish?"

"What the hell do you mean you don't have it? If you don't, go find it! Can't Liu Yan even warrant a special item?"

"Damn it!!!"

The Principal slammed his phone against the wall, and it instantly broke in half.

Ever since Liu Yan shot down the drone, no more footage had come through.

Holding onto a sliver of hope, the Principal and the other teachers and leaders had waited at the entrance until now.

Ultimately, they could only accept the tragic truth.

Liu Yan was dead.

The Principal could only place his last hope on The Authorities.

But after some communication, they only refused the Principal's plea, citing the lack of a resuscitation ventilator.

"Principal Wang, what do we do now? Without a resuscitation ventilator, how can we save Liu Yan?" Teacher Qi asked anxiously from the side.

"Bullshit, I don't believe they don't have it! They're just unwilling to part with it, keeping it all for those useless rich kids!"

Principal Wang gasped for breath, cursing furiously.

He had originally planned to save Liu Yan first. With Liu Yan's strength, finding a resuscitation ventilator wouldn't be difficult, and then Zhao Chuang could also be saved.

But now, even Liu Yan couldn't be saved.

Finally, Principal Wang slumped against the corridor wall, as if deflated.

Given his status, it was almost impossible to demand a resuscitation ventilator.

What he hadn't expected was that The Authorities, who had once wanted to poach Liu Yan, would abandon him at this critical moment.

He couldn't understand why, in their eyes, Liu Yan's strength was less important than a resuscitation ventilator.
