112: Got caught

Boss Xiao, we really can't scrape together that much money!

Yeah, our combined earnings from the last round were less than 500,000, not enough to buy everything!

I can't even get a loan for that much by mortgaging my house!

Wang Qiang and the other two were immediately in a difficult position.

One Military explosives cost 120,000, so fourteen of them would be nearly two million.

The three of them, plus Eagle, couldn't possibly gather that much money!

Alright, alright, I'll transfer it to you.

Xiao Yun felt a bit helpless.

These guys have been working in the restricted area for so long, it seems they haven't made much money.

No wonder they were so happy just picking up some small blue and green items in this round and bringing out over a hundred thousand.

At this moment, not counting the materials brought out in this round, Xiao Yun's account still had twelve million.

So, Xiao Yun didn't waste any more time and transferred two million to Wang Qiang to purchase the materials.

Wang Qiang, you guys aren't going to run off with the money, are you?

What are you talking about!

Hearing this, Wang Qiang immediately became displeased.

Even if I, Wang Qiang, were struck by lightning, I would never do such a treacherous thing!

I can vouch for him, Captain Wang might be a bit unskilled, but his character is very reliable.

That's right, besides, Boss Xiao, we still need to rely on you for our livelihood in the future!

Hey, I never said I'd take you guys with me afterwards.

Xiao Yun quickly distanced himself.

Taking people into the restricted area was simply too much trouble.

Especially with outsiders, it was difficult to use many of his skills.

Otherwise, if he had used full-map teleportation in the previous round, he would have probably blown open all the material rooms and safes in less than 10 minutes.

Alright, hurry to the black market, the mission must be completed today.

Understood!

...

After Wang Qiang and the others left, Xiao Yun also arrived at the Exchange.

As for whether they would run off with the money, Xiao Yun didn't think so.

Just as they said, they were still hoping to rely on him for their livelihood in the future.

The gains from leading them out in this round had already far exceeded their initial expectations when entering the map.

Wang Qiang wasn't a fool; he naturally knew which was more important: currying favor with him or a mere two million.

He made a sale at the Exchange.

Except for the camera, all other materials brought out in this round were sold.

When the teller at the Exchange saw a table full of gold, silver, and copper coins poured out of Xiao Yun's backpack, he was quite shocked.

This was a coin collector!

A backpack full of coins was even more exaggerated than those who collected antique silver dollars.

After the transaction, Xiao Yun's account received another 2.4 million.

The 2 million that had just been spent was replenished, and the amount in Xiao Yun's card reached 12.4 million again.

Xiao Yun, do you remember that experts from the Research Institute are coming this afternoon?

In the lounge area, Liu Shihhan asked.

I remember, what about it?

Didn't we just happen to bring out a camera in the last round? We can rent it to them then.

Liu Shihhan said with a smile.

Xiao Yun nodded silently, it was fine to rent big red to Haibei Research Institute.

Although it was a local research institute, its technology and scale certainly couldn't compare to the Dragon Kingdom Research Institute, but since they couldn't be contacted for now, and Xiao Yun was in urgent need of money.

You are Xiao Yun, right?

Just as the two were chatting, a male teacher wearing glasses, looking somewhat quiet and thin, found them.

At first glance, Xiao Yun also remembered his name.

Qian Gang, the young male teacher who was very famous at school.

And this beautiful person must be Liu Shihhan, the school beauty of our First High.

Huh? Are you a student from our school?

Liu Shihhan was a bit confused and didn't recognize the person in front of her.

Xiao Yun, however, was a bit helpless; Qian Gang appearing here surely meant he wanted him to return to school.

But he seemed to have come alone, the other two teachers were nowhere to be seen.

Perhaps they split up to look for him, Xiao Yun thought to himself.

Teacher Qian Gang, are you also here to run a knife?

Out of politeness, Xiao Yun still greeted him.

Oh, don't even mention it, I don't know what happened to Dam No. 0 in the last round, a bunch of soldiers surrounded the Substation, and we got hit when we passed by, it was terrible!

Qian Gang was very helpless; a full set of equipment wasn't a small sum for teachers from public schools like them.

If it weren't for the school subsidizing teachers entering the restricted area, the equipment he lost in the last round alone would have probably cost him half a year's salary.

Can I sit down and chat for a bit?

Please do.

Qian Gang sat down next to Xiao Yun, looking at him with an appreciative expression.

I have to say, Xiao Yun, you are truly amazing. As a high school student, to be able to achieve a 1.6 million withdrawal is quite astonishing in our entire Haibei City!

Alright, alright, I know you have something to say.

Xiao Yun waved his hand.

He hadn't expected Qian Gang, a grown man and an older teacher than himself, to praise him like a little fangirl with such adoration, which made him feel a bit uncomfortable.

Haha, Xiao Yun is smart. Actually, I didn't come to you for anything important, it's just that Teacher Yu Youya couldn't reach you and was a bit anxious.

Qian Gang said with a smile.

After all, there are leaders coming to school today, and they are specifically coming for you. And as your homeroom teacher, Teacher Yu Youya couldn't reach you, you should understand her worry, right?

I know, but I don't have time to wait idly at school.

Oh, I understand. After all, you have such great talent, and you must be eager to go to the restricted area now, how about this?

Qian Gang's attitude was very gentle, and he asked in a consulting tone.

Anyway, the leaders don't know when they'll arrive. When they do, Teacher Yu will contact me. I see your team seems to only have two people, so how about I follow you guys, and if the leaders arrive, we can trouble you to go to school together?

Oh? That could work.

Hearing this, Xiao Yun also nodded silently.

After all, it was the city leaders who wanted to see him, and he couldn't just refuse.

Taking Qian Gang along seemed like the best way to not waste time.

As for teaming up, since he was already stuck with Liu Shihhan, adding one more person wouldn't matter.

It's just that if he couldn't keep up with his pace later, he shouldn't blame him for leaving him behind.

Really? That's great!

Qian Gang was instantly very excited, as if he had successfully met a celebrity.

I don't know how many students would envy being able to team up with a master like Xiao Yun.

Alright, alright, Teacher Qian, this is getting a bit too mushy.

Before Xiao Yun could speak, Liu Shihhan next to him couldn't stand it anymore and quickly pulled Xiao Yun closer to herself.

This teacher is too much of a suck-up!

Just listening to what he said to Xiao Yun, she was getting goosebumps.

Seeing this, Qian Gang also scratched his head awkwardly.

This Qian Gang... is he really a teacher?

After interacting with him, Xiao Yun also felt puzzled.

This Qian Gang seemed different from other teachers who were arrogant towards students; he seemed to treat students with great respect.

He didn't know if it was just for him, or if that was just his personality.

By the way, Xiao Yun.

At this moment, Qian Gang also asked an important question that the school and leaders were concerned about.

The materials you brought out before, their quality shouldn't be low, right? Can you share them with me?

Before? I did bring out some precious materials, but are you talking about the last round or the 1.6 million withdrawal round?

Ah? The last round?

Hearing Xiao Yun's words, Qian Gang's face immediately showed surprise.

Xiao Yun, how much did you withdraw in the last round?

3.5 million.

What!?

Qian Gang's face immediately filled with disbelief.
