201: Chapter 201 Who is this person? Even the dean is so respectful to him?

Having clarified the maximum range his Sword Domain could reach, Zhang Jian felt much more at ease.

The others began challenging various Dungeons throughout the academy one after another.

Zhang Jian, meanwhile, took a leisurely stroll.

After rounding a few buildings, he saw a group of people gathered together.

As it turned out...

Several senior students who had arrived early at the school had accidentally damaged the entrance to a hidden Dungeon and were now in a conflict with the patrolling instructor.

The students claimed they didn't see any guards and thought it was an unimportant place, so it wasn't intentional.

The instructor's face was livid, and he was left speechless by their retort.

Seeing Zhang Jian approach, a flicker of dissatisfaction flashed in the short instructor's eyes.

“You're the newly appointed instructor, Zhang Jian, right?”

“According to tradition, instructors who have taught for less than three years are responsible for maintaining order and ensuring the safety of the academy and its students.”

“Since taking office, you haven't reported to our Logistics Department. Are you only looking out for yourself and unwilling to take on this responsibility?”

Zhang Jian was stunned.

How did their argument suddenly get dragged onto me?

However, the other party spoke with such self-righteousness that Zhang Jian felt a bit guilty.

Just as he was about to ask who he should contact to learn more...

The Reception Envoy appeared.

He grabbed Zhang Jian. “The Dean is looking for you, come with me!”

When the others saw him, they all bowed one after another.

The short instructor's expression changed drastically, his eyes pleading with Zhang Jian, seemingly wanting him not to mention what had just happened.

Zhang Jian gave him a reassuring look and followed the Reception Envoy away.

In the Dean's office.

Xuan Jizi was lying leisurely in a rocking chair, squinting his eyes.

Seeing Zhang Jian arrive, he suddenly sat up.

“Little Jian, you've come at the right time.”

“I have to go out for a bit and might not be able to look after you for the next few days. I wanted to check on your situation before I leave.”

A wave of warmth rose in Zhang Jian's heart, and he cupped his hands.

“Thank you for your concern, Dean!”

He thought for a moment.

To improve his own strength, he had enough experience to level up at any time.

Skill and equipment recipes could be purchased or exchanged through the Reception Envoy.

For refining Sword Puppets, he had been using Materials from the academy's warehouse for free.

The growth of the others, relying on the cooperation of the Sword Puppets, was also going smoothly.

There really wasn't anything he needed to trouble the Dean with.

After thinking it over, he suddenly remembered what happened on the way and mentioned it.

Xuan Jizi waved his hand dismissively.

“What kind of issue is that? I'll have a word with the Logistics Department later and tell them not to bother you with any trivial matters!”

After saying that, he frowned, as if feeling something was inappropriate.

“That won't do.”

“If it's not the Logistics Department, it'll be some other department.”

“You are, after all, just an instructor; you'll still be subject to many constraints and limitations.”

“How about this, I'll promote you further and make you a professor. That should make things convenient!”

Zhang Jian was startled and hurriedly waved his hands.

“No, no, no.”

“I already feel unworthy of being an instructor.”

“If you make me a professor, I'll be flamed to death by others.”

Seeing Xuan Jizi's eyes bulge, Zhang Jian quickly added,

“I was thinking, since our academy is short-handed for daily maintenance of order, I can also contribute my part.”

He gestured to the Reception Envoy. “My level of refining Sword Puppets has improved recently. I can refine a few to contribute.”

The Reception Envoy's eyes lit up, and he looked excited.

“Great idea!”

“Dean, you haven't seen it, but Zhang Jian is simply a Genius at refining Puppets!”

“In just one day, Zhang Jian can not only refine Sword Puppets of the highest quality for his class, but he's even gone a step further, allowing the Sword Puppets to be influenced by his own Domain, helping others clear Dungeons with the Sword Puppets!”

Xuan Jizi became interested.

“So you're saying the Sword Puppets you refine are no worse than Professionals of the same Rank.”

The Reception Envoy gave Xuan Jizi a disdainful look.

“Dean, you're being narrow-minded!”

“They're not just stronger than Professionals; they're way stronger!”

“With the Domain's enhancement, they're even stronger than Wang Fei and those other Divine-Grade classes.”

“You have no idea. Wang Fei and his group, after splitting into two or three teams, can each clear Hell-grade Dungeons just by bringing one Sword Puppet!”

Now Xuan Jizi was truly moved.

“Is this true?”

Zhang Jian nodded.

Xuan Jizi's eyes glowed. “In that case, the strength of your Sword Puppets is indeed quite powerful!”

“Come, take me to see them!”

Xuan Jizi's interest was fully piqued.

The three of them went to the Materials warehouse together.

The staff members along the way were shocked to see this lineup.

If they weren't mistaken, the old man leading the way at the very front seemed to be Dean Xuan Jizi?

He usually never came to a place like this; if he needed anything, he would send someone to fetch it.

Has the sun risen from the west today? He's actually visiting the Materials warehouse in person?

Furthermore...

Not only were there no other high-level academy officials accompanying him, but from the looks of it, with the Reception Envoy leading at the front and the Dean walking in the middle, he was currently conversing with a young student.

It seemed...

That student was the main character of this group?

Clang!

An epic-grade material fell from Director Yun Wenhong's hand onto the ground, his eyes nearly popping out of his head.

He was one of the managers of this Materials warehouse. He had gone on vacation for the past two days and had just returned today.

Seeing this incredible scene, he simply couldn't believe it.

He pulled over a staff member who was using a talent skill to clean the warehouse and asked urgently,

“Am I hallucinating? Was that the Dean just now?”

The staff member said strangely,

“Director Yun, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. That was indeed the Dean.”

Director Yun Wenhong was horrified.

“Who is that student? Why is the Dean treating him so well? Is he his grandson?”

The staff member rolled his eyes.

“You really have an imagination.”

“For the sake of Planet Blue, for Huaxia, and for our academy, the Dean has never married in his life. Where would he get a grandson from?”

“That student is no ordinary person. He's our academy's newly promoted instructor, Zhang Jian.”

Director Yun Wenhong looked puzzled.

“Such a young instructor!”

“But that still shouldn't warrant the Dean having that kind of expression, right? Has this Zhang Jian done something world-shaking?”

The staff member nodded and then shook his head.

“It seems your time off at home has indeed left you a bit out of touch with the world.”

“You'll understand what's going on when you have time to go run a Dungeon later.”

Director Yun Wenhong pretended to be angry.

“You brat, playing riddles with me!”

The confusion in his heart only increased.

A young man whom even the Dean valued so highly, and who seemed to have performed deeds that everyone knew about.

Could it be the System update from a few days ago?

He instantly got goosebumps all over his body.
