207: Chapter 207 The dignified warehouse manager, actually just running errands for Zhang Jian?

He Zhongtang was a bit puzzled.

"I admit that I underestimated this Sword Puppet before; I didn't have as much foresight as you."

"Now we just need to improve the Sword Puppet's strength as quickly as possible. With us brothers working together, we could rival a top-tier team, and our progress certainly won't be slow."

"Who else do we need to find?"

Wang Wei glanced at him.

Since the other party's attitude had changed, he didn't hide it from his partner.

"I plan to pay a visit to Professor Zhang Jian."

He Zhongtang was stunned for a moment before he realized what he meant.

"You mean that handsome young man who made this Sword Puppet for us?"

Wang Wei glared at him.

"Don't look down on him just because he's young. If the Sword Puppet hadn't played its role today, wouldn't we both have died here?"

He Zhongtang smiled sheepishly, "That's true."

While he understood, he was also a bit curious.

"The last time we were able to see him, it was because the Reception Envoy and the Dean gave the word; it was a perk for our patrol duty."

"If we want to visit him directly, I'm afraid we don't have a good excuse."

Wang Wei looked around, confirmed that no one was paying attention, and then waved the skill book in his hand at He Zhongtang.

He Zhongtang's mouth fell open, and a flash of sharp light crossed his eyes.

"Does... Professor Zhang need this thing?"

Wang Wei nodded.

"I saw his post on the academy forum; he seems determined to get passive-type skills."

He Zhongtang suddenly realized.

"No wonder you didn't choose the mythical level scroll earlier and chose this instead."

"I thought you were short on money and wanted to sell it quickly."

He pondered for a moment.

"If this thing can help us strike up a conversation with Professor Zhang, it's not a loss."

He quietly took a skill book out from his chest, his eyes filled with pride.

"Fortunately, I picked up one at the market a few days ago. I was struggling with whether to use it myself or sell it, but now it's finally come in handy!"

Wang Wei's eyes widened suddenly.

"Damn, you guy are devious. You quietly hoarded such a great treasure!"

He Zhongtang chuckled.

Since his partner also had the goods and could accompany him, Wang Wei was naturally happy.

After sending a message to Zhang Jian's account on the forum, he soon received a reply.

"Come to the Materials warehouse to find me."

The message also included the corresponding area location.

"It's a go!"

The two excitedly high-fived and set off impatiently.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the entrance of the Materials warehouse.

Wang Wei was still feeling anxious about whether the staff here would let them in.

Just then, a dignified-looking middle-aged man came up to greet them.

"Are you two the ones who contacted Professor Zhang?"

Wang Wei quickly showed his chat history with Zhang Jian, as well as his employee ID and galaxy badge.

The middle-aged man nodded after looking at them.

"I am Director Yun Wenhong, just follow me."

Wang Wei followed along, bewildered, marveling at how influential Zhang Jian seemed to be here, actually sending someone to pick them up.

He Zhongtang, on the other hand, was already looking horrified.

Director Yun Wenhong!

This is the director of the Materials warehouse management office!

A third job change level 80 high-ranking Professional.

The owner of the unique top-tier profession [Space Walker].

He is already a heavyweight figure in the academy.

For such a person to actually be running errands for Zhang Jian...

Just what kind of status does Zhang Jian have?

His steps also became cautious.

Seeing this, Director Yun Wenhong curled the corners of his mouth.

It seems there are still people who recognize me.

As for running errands for Zhang Jian, it was really just a coincidence.

He happened to be strolling through the Materials warehouse just now.

He inadvertently wandered near the area where Zhang Jian was located, and a staff member ran over to ask for instructions, saying that someone wanted to visit Zhang Jian.

On a whim, he took on the task of picking them up and delivering the message.

Leading the two nervous men, he walked through layers of heavily guarded areas.

The two kept their heads down, not daring to take another look at the various treasures emitting all kinds of light.

Until Director Yun Wenhong's voice came through.

"Alright, we're here."

The two then raised their heads and saw Zhang Jian sitting quietly in front of a furnace.

"Professor Zhang, your guests have arrived."

Director Yun Wenhong stepped lightly to Zhang Jian's side and whispered, prompting him.

Zhang Jian opened his eyes and was taken aback when he saw Director Yun Wenhong.

If he remembered correctly, both Xuan Jizi and the Reception Envoy had introduced him last time as the actual manager of the Materials warehouse, a Venerable-level figure.

Why was he responsible for running errands for him?

He didn't act arrogant either; instead, he quickly stood up and reached out to greet him.

"Sorry for the trouble, Director Yun!"

Seeing that Zhang Jian didn't look down on him because of this, but instead had a good attitude, Director Yun Wenhong was secretly pleased.

"It's no trouble at all, it's a service to Professor Zhang!"

He nodded at Zhang Jian, "Then I'll go back to work. Professor Zhang, call me if you need anything."

After sending Director Yun Wenhong off, Zhang Jian turned to greet the two men.

"I heard you have something I need?"

Hearing how Zhang Jian addressed Director Yun Wenhong, He Zhongtang confirmed that he hadn't mistaken the person, and his heart was already in turmoil.

He hadn't heard what Zhang Jian said at all.

Wang Wei saw him standing there foolishly with a dazed expression, so he quickly pinched the back of his hand.

"Professor Zhang is asking you something."

He Zhongtang woke up as if from a dream and apologized repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, Professor Zhang, I was distracted!"

The two quickly took out the skills they had brought and handed them to Zhang Jian.

After taking them, Zhang Jian examined them one by one.

The [Life Enhancement] that Wang Wei took out directly increased stamina attribute points, which was considered quite rare among passive skills.

Naturally, he couldn't let it pass.

Zhang Jian nodded, "Not bad, I'll take this one."

Wang Wei's face immediately showed joy.

As for the two passive skills He Zhongtang took out, one was to increase attack range, and the other was to increase mental resistance.

Zhang Jian looked at them a few extra times, and only when He Zhongtang's expression became somewhat uneasy did he speak.

"These two are also fine."

He Zhongtang felt relieved.

Since he was prepared to take everything, Zhang Jian directly made an offer.

"My acquisition price on the forum is 300 million huaxia coins. Since you delivered it directly to my door and saved me quite a bit of time, let's just count it as 400 million, how about that?"

His generous offer made He Zhongtang gasp, and he subconsciously wanted to agree.

But he was secretly tugged by the corner of his clothes by Wang Wei.

Based on his trust in his partner, he immediately shut his mouth and said nothing.

Wang Wei put on a smile and said cautiously.

"Speaking of which, it's fate. We were just patrolling in the wild area and encountered a powerful BOSS. If it hadn't been for the Sword Puppet crafted by Professor Zhang, I'm afraid we would have lost our lives."

"These skill books were also the loot from the BOSS's death just now. Consider it our thanks to Professor Zhang for saving our lives!"

After he finished speaking, He Zhongtang's expression changed, and finally, he changed his tune.

"That's right, we admire Professor Zhang, so there's no need for money."

Zhang Jian was a little surprised at first, then looked at the Sword Puppet behind the two, and smiled.

"These two are quite interesting!"
