178: Chapter 178 Divine Item, Map of the Nine Provinces

Zhan Wuji immediately said with grievance, "But you haven't paid the final payment yet."

Speaking of this, Zhan Wuji immediately straightened his back, "Right, I am here to collect the final payment."

"What final payment? Didn't we pay it all off at once?"

Long Junhao's eyes darted away, and he lowered his head to take a sip of tea.

Zhan Wuji's eyes widened immediately, and he hurriedly went up to Long Junhao, "What do you mean by that? You are the principal, you can't default on a debt."

"Oh my, what defaulting on a debt? It sounds like I embezzled your equipment."

"Didn't you see it just now? The equipment has already been distributed to the students for free; I can't go back and collect the final payment from them, can I?"

Long Junhao looked at Zhan Wuji with a feigned expression of difficulty.

Zhan Wuji didn't know what to say for a moment.

Collect the final payment from students? What kind of joke is that? He would be cursed behind his back by the entire school's staff and students.

But since the principal had already said so, it was clear he didn't intend to pay the rest of the final payment.

In this situation, Zhan Wuji could only swallow the bitter pill himself. Fortunately, the remaining amount wasn't very large, just one-third left.

Now he suddenly understood why the principal was so generous, giving out equipment to students for free; it turned out he was waiting for him here.

A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit. Zhan Wuji swore that in the future, when doing business with the principal, he would absolutely demand full payment upfront.

Seeing that getting the principal to pay the bill was a dead end, Guo Xi and the others all indicated to Tang Mo that they would go back to get the money immediately and asked Tang Mo to wait a moment.

In a short while, only Long Junhao and Tang Mo were left in the office.

"Kid Tang Mo, what are your plans next? Do you want to enter the abyss with us?"

Tang Mo shook his head and refused. He still wanted to enter the abyss alone; there would be fewer restrictions, and he could fight to his heart's content.

Long Junhao only assumed that Tang Mo was tired and wanted to rest. After all, ever since Tang Mo entered Xiafu University, he seemed to have never rested.

He went from the dungeon to the abyss, and after finally coming out of the abyss, he went to the battlefield. Today, he had just finished challenging the Coiling Dragon Pagoda and even made history.

With all these things piled together, Long Junhao asked himself, if it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to handle it either.

"Hmm, resting is good too. Sometimes, taking time to settle down is a good thing."

Tang Mo nodded and said, "Hmm, I will keep the principal's teachings in mind."

Before long, Zhan Wuji and Guo Xi and the others returned one after another with money, and it was all cash, which saved Tang Mo a lot of trouble.

After getting the money, Tang Mo stood up and said goodbye to everyone.

Tang Mo did not intend to expose the god-tier artifact in front of them yet.

After all, power gained suddenly can easily make people lose themselves. It was better to let them adapt to the power of the saint artifact-grade equipment first, and then decide whether to tell them about the god-tier artifact.

Walking on the way back to the dormitory, Tang Mo took out the heavenly sword token to send a message to Wei Shenchou,

asking if he still wanted saint artifact-grade equipment. If he did, he should come to his dormitory, but he must bring enough gold coins. At that time, the payment and goods would be cleared, and no credit would be given.

Wei Shenchou laughed and scolded Tang Mo for being a little money-grubber, but his actions were extremely swift. Within ten minutes, he was already standing at the door of Tang Mo's dormitory.

After seeing the saint artifact-grade equipment Tang Mo took out, Wei Shenchou was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Hahaha, kid Tang, it wasn't in vain that I thought so highly of you; you actually prepared so many good things."

"It's just that the level requirement is a bit high, but that's okay. It just so happens that several abysses have been acting up recently, and the bureau intends to send people in to clear them out."

"Originally, this old man didn't intend to go, but now it seems I have no choice. These treasures are really going to be the death of me."

Letting him ramble on, Tang Mo collected the gold coins Wei Shenchou had brought.

This time, Wei Shenchou brought a total of 45 billion gold coins and took away five sets of saint artifact-grade equipment; it seemed they were prepared for other Sword Bearers.

"Originally, you were also supposed to wait for orders, but now it seems that won't be necessary."

"With these things, the other four Sword Bearers definitely won't be able to stay idle; I guess they won't need that many people."

Tang Mo nodded; he didn't want to go anyway.

"Are there any news about the Orc Allied Forces countries after their defeat?"

Wei Shenchou smiled contemptuously and said, "Are you saying they still want to send troops over?"

Tang Mo: "Wouldn't they?"

Wei Shenchou shook his head and said, "No, they don't have that much power anymore."

"This time, they only managed to send out troops by forcing themselves to persuade their Beast Lord masters, only to end up in a crushing defeat."

"This also makes them afraid to underestimate the combat power of humans again."

"Moreover, the status of those orcs is not as high as you imagine. In the world of fierce beasts, orcs are the lowest existence, no different from ants."

"Not to mention their masters avenging them or anything like that."

Wei Shenchou snorted coldly and said, "If those beasts are truly so blind as to invade our Great Xia again, I will definitely make sure they never return!"

Immediately after, Wei Shenchou whispered into Tang Mo's ear, "Some time ago, the Guard Army dug up an incredible treasure from the Ancient Emperor ruins!"

Tang Mo: "Ancient Emperor ruins? Is it a tomb?"

Wei Shenchou: "Yes, the reason the Orc Allied Forces launched an attack on Great Xia this time was because they learned that a god-tier item would be unearthed from the Ancient Emperor ruins and wanted to seize it."

"So what was dug up?"

"A god-tier item! The nine provinces rivers and mountains map."

Tang Mo: "The nine provinces rivers and mountains map is a god-tier item?!"

Wei Shenchou: "Yes, and the nine provinces rivers and mountains map is not a one-time use item; it can be used repeatedly."

"It's just that the consumption is a bit high; it requires three Sword Bearers to work together to activate it, and it cannot be sustained for long."

"However, even if it can only be sustained for a moment, it is definitely not something those beasts can withstand."

Wei Shenchou was someone who had experienced the great battle with the Abyss Lord. Since he could say this, he must have made comparisons.

Tang Mo couldn't help but click his tongue in secret; even he had never seen such a god-tier item.

However, he still had the sumeru realm artifact on him, so even a god-tier item shouldn't be able to hurt him.

This time, Tang Mo didn't sell all the saint artifact-grade equipment; he kept a portion, intending to use it to upgrade the sumeru realm artifact.

The upgrade of the sumeru realm artifact requires devouring equipment, so Tang Mo specifically set some aside for it.

Once the equipment was in hand, Wei Shenchou asked about some things regarding Tang Yuyan.

Upon learning that Tang Yuyan had already left, Wei Shenchou unexpectedly fell into silence.

Tang Mo looked at Wei Shenchou with some suspicion. Ever since he first met Tang Yuyan, Wei Shenchou's reaction had made Tang Mo have to suspect something.

Wei Shenchou's concern for his Older Sister was a bit excessive. This didn't look like ordinary concern; it looked more like the care of an elder for a junior.

Therefore, Tang Mo asked directly, "Elder Wei, do you know my Older Sister?"

Wei Shenchou was stunned for a moment, then immediately explained, "No... I don't know her."

Tang Mo: "You don't know her? Then why were you so concerned about my Older Sister when you first met? Isn't that a bit abnormal?"

Wei Shenchou immediately said again, "That was just out of respect for you, Tang Mo. With my status, putting a little pressure on the school ensures they will be more diligent in treating your sister."
