Chapter 76 - 74: No Conscience at All

Dinner was over.Everyone gradually left the gathering.

Hang Yu thought that occasionally attending such gatherings wasn’t too bad.

He had rich experiences and knowledge of the Spirit Realm, familiar with the terrain, monsters, skills, and items there, but knew little about changes in the present world. Such gatherings were a good supplement.

Hang Yu left the Husky in the hall.

He went to relieve himself and had just walked out of the restroom when he bumped into a woman with an incredibly voluptuous figure, extremely beautiful.

Her attire was very formal, with a suit, long trousers, leather shoes, and black-framed glasses, trying hard to look intellectual and serious, yet it was difficult to hide her naturally enchanting aura. She was the most attractive woman Hang Yu had ever seen in terms of both figure and looks.

Goddess Su, Teacher Su, Scheming Su?

She approached with a charming smile and greeted him.

That subtle longing in her eyes seemed to possess a kind of soul-stealing magic.

Hang Yu, knowing Su Yunbing very well, expected her to come looking for him, just not this soon. She even came to block him in the men’s restroom. Those unaware might have thought she was up to something.

"Oh, Teacher Su, what a coincidence, you’re using the restroom too?" Hang Yu, well aware of Teacher Su’s purpose, deliberately stepped aside and gestured towards the men’s restroom, "Please, after you."

Su Yunbing took a deep breath.

Frankly, if she wasn’t considering that she probably wasn’t a match for the guy in front of her, she’d have the urge to shove him into the toilet.

"Hey, Teacher Su, what do you want to do? This is a public place; we’re all respectable people. Don’t do anything impulsive, or I’ll shout." Hang Yu felt a bit uncomfortable under her gaze, like a girl encountering a lecher, stepping back two steps.

Su Yunbing snorted softly and then stepped forward two steps.

"Yesterday’s Atoman was you, wasn’t it!"

"Atoman? What Atoman?"

The unmistakable gaze of wisdom that saw through everything from Teacher Su made anyone uneasy, but Hang Yu remained unfazed, pretending to be dumbfounded, even casting a contemptuous gaze filled with surprise, and continued.

"Teacher Su, you’re already thirty years old, right? Please, don’t be so childish. I stopped watching Atoman after fifth grade."

Bah!

What nonsense!

You’re thirty!

I’m clearly twenty-eight!

Besides, if I had a childlike heart, it would be no problem to watch Teletubbies, let alone Atoman. Yesterday’s Tielo was definitely you, you can act dumb all you want!

Women are very sensitive about their age.

Even Goddess Su couldn’t escape this.

Su Yunbing’s ample chest heaved twice, making one worry whether the taut little suit could hold the pressure, but although she ranted inwardly, none of it showed on her face.

Hang Yu and Su Yunbing were like-minded people.

The two had many similar traits.

Su Yunbing’s exterior came across as meticulous, noble, cold, serious, and intellectual, but after spending time with her, one would discover that her inner self was completely different from her exterior.

If someone sliced open Hang Yu’s charming appearance, both his heart and innards would probably be pitch-black, just deeply hidden most of the time.

Su Yunbing knew exactly what she needed to do.

There was no need to tangle over the topic of Atoman.

She decided to be upfront: "As far as I know, Classmate Pang Dahai, plus his cousin Pang Ren, and Zhou Ze, Fatty’s studio has only three Spirit Chefs, which makes one wonder where the confidence to open such a big shop comes from."

Impressive, Teacher Su.

This intuition nearly matches my dog Er Gou’s.

Hang Yu deliberately asked back, "What do you think, Teacher Su?"

"Classmate Pang clearly found a way to restore Spiritual Power, and it’s a medicine that can be stably produced and supplied!"

Su Yunbing adjusted her glasses, light of wisdom shining through the lenses, "I suspect it’s someone behind the scenes who has the capability for a stable supply of potion, and he might even be the pharmacist himself."

"But this is just your speculation, Teacher Su."

"I’m not speaking baselessly. This person just tricked a Medicine Refining Skill Stone from me, so his denial is useless. As a decent fellow, he might as well admit it."

Oh, great!

Can’t we talk nicely?

Can’t you be straightforward?

What do you mean tricking your Skill Stone?

Last time, I was the one who got ripped off!

"Teacher Su, it seems you came for collaboration, but this potion is quite expensive; even I don’t have enough for myself."

Hang Yu didn’t want to beat around the bush either.

The over twenty million he got from Old Bear had already been spent.

Twenty million was used to build the Cyan Dragon Community’s team, and another four million to support Fatty in opening a restaurant. Since Su Yunbing kindly came offering when he was short on money, how could he decline the goddess’ goodwill?

Obviously, Su Yunbing didn’t buy Hang Yu’s story.

Knowing Hang Yu well, she knew he had strong principles. Once he decided something, it was hard to change. So, if the collaboration truly wasn’t viable, he would’ve refused outright, rather than waste time in circles.

How much was the base price and cost of this batch of potions?

This answer was crucial, relating to the price negotiation.

Hang Yu surely wouldn’t disclose it willingly, and Pang Dahai kept his lips sealed.

However, that couldn’t stump Su Yunbing; she had already guessed seven to eight parts of it based on menu pricing.

Due to the high cost of potions, the restaurant surely incurred losses, which Pang Dahai wouldn’t do, and neither would Hang Yu; she came prepared.

"Quit beating around the bush and just name a price."

Hang Yu shook his head and said, "There are so many people in Jiang City, and my potions are very limited. Why does Teacher Su think I’ll sell them to you?"

"Because we, after all, have a teacher-student relationship and have collaborated before. We are quite familiar, aren’t we?"

Teacher Su gave a soul-stealing smile, "As the saying goes, one wouldn’t let wealth flow to outsiders. Rather than selling to someone uncertain, why not directly sell to me? I can keep it confidential for you, can cover for you, and the price would be reasonable. Is that sufficient reason?"

"Hmm, makes some sense... Catch!"

Hang Yu took three potions and tossed them over.

Life Recovery Potion, Spirit Recovery Potion, Pain Relief Potion.

Su Yunbing’s eyes brightened, revealing a trace of joy.

Good stuff!

Indeed excellent stuff!

These were far better than Spirit Fruit and Spirit Grass of the recovery category!

If she could get such potions in bulk, the confidence in exploring the Spirit Realm would substantially increase, her team’s production capability could advance significantly compared to others, and even survival skills would improve considerably.

However, upon hearing Hang Yu’s quote.

Su Yunbing almost spat out blood.

"We’re so familiar, Teacher Su, so I’m not looking to con you. Life Potion is 250,000 each, Spirit Potion is 250,000 each, Pain Relief Potion is 350,000 each, cash first, goods later. How many would you like?"

The fear of sudden silence in the air.

Hang Yu noticed that Su Yunbing’s face turned instantly dark.

She held back for quite a while before finally squeezing out, "Classmate Hang, doesn’t pricing your teacher like this prick your conscience?"

Hang Yu blinked, "Why say so, Teacher Su? This price is a fair inside deal; for others, it’d start at 500,000 or 600,000."

He snickered inwardly.

During the last rip-off, her big chest didn’t seem to harbor any conscience.

This is what they call what goes around comes around!
