86: Star Ring Academy, Internal Operations Team

Seeing that Qin Yu's attitude was still cold, Zhao Liancheng felt a little disappointed.

He had originally intended to use the rare metals and Mechanist knowledge he had spent a fortune collecting over the past few days to build a closer relationship with Qin Yu.

After all, Qin Yu's Class was an SSS-level unknown Class, and he was also this year's top scholar of the college entrance examination.

It was obvious that as long as Qin Yu didn't die prematurely.

Then, in the future, he would definitely grow into a powerhouse they could only look up to.

However, he also knew that given the stupid things Zhao Yuanming had done, for Qin Yu to personally say that he would no longer pursue the matter was already a huge blessing for them.

Therefore, after exchanging a few more flattering words with Qin Yu, Zhao Liancheng pulled Zhao Yuanming away to say goodbye:

"Then, Student Qin Yu, we won't bother you any longer."

"In the future, if you have any trouble in Jiangzhou City, just let me know directly. I will definitely help if I can."

Qin Yu nodded, then watched the two people walk out the door.

And once the two had completely disappeared from sight.

Only then did Qin Yu get up, close the door, and check the other rare metals Zhao Liancheng had sent inside the space ring.

He had just checked the various books inside the space and instantly triggered a prompt from his Class Panel.

He hadn't had time to check the metals within.

"Tsk tsk, it seems like Zhao Liancheng really put his money where his mouth is..."

"Just these two kilograms of gold are probably worth one million Dragon Kingdom Coins, plus all these other metals like chromium and titanium..."

"I was originally thinking of going to Lin Tian to restock."

"Now, these should be enough."

After a careful inspection, Qin Yu was quite satisfied with the rare metals Zhao Liancheng had sent.

However, he also knew why Zhao Liancheng would spend so much money sending him so many things.

Apologizing was just a pretense.

The real purpose was to use Zhao Yuanming's situation as an excuse to gain a favor from him.

Thinking about this, Qin Yu recalled how, when his Class was just an E-level lifestyle Class, “Mechanist,” every Tom, Dick, and Harry dared to mock him, and now... the dignified Vice Minister of the Jiangzhou City Inspection Department, a Tier 4 Class Changer at Level 42, had to be so subtle when giving him a gift.

Qin Yu clenched his fist, feeling the powerful strength surging through him as Mechanical Power flowed, and for a moment, he felt emotional... "Strength is the foundation, especially in a system that possesses Transcendent Power."

He put the space ring away into the forging space.

He glanced at the time. In just this short while.

The time had already reached 1:30 PM.

Thinking of the surprise Lin Xiaoshan had mentioned, Qin Yu didn't delay any longer. He went to the garage by the door, casually drove an SUV out, and headed toward the city center.

Half an hour later, inside the hotel arranged by the Education Bureau for the Star Ring Academy group.

As soon as Qin Yu arrived at the hotel lobby, he saw Lin Xiaoshan, Guo Jun, and Dong Tianyu.

Besides these familiar faces, Qin Yu also noticed that there were a few unfamiliar people in the group whom he hadn't seen in the secret realm.

Moreover, the uniforms these people wore were different from those worn by Guo Jun and Dong Tianyu; the overall color was no longer the previous light green.

Instead, there was an additional white Star Ring pattern on the chest.

They clearly looked much more advanced than the uniforms worn by Guo Jun and Dong Tianyu.

"Qin Yu, you're here?" Seeing Qin Yu walk into the hotel lobby, Lin Xiaoshan immediately waved him over.

Although Qin Yu was puzzled as to why Star Ring Academy would send people to the remote small city of Jiangzhou City after the College Entrance Examination had already ended.

He temporarily suppressed his curiosity.

Instead, he walked up to Lin Xiaoshan and the others, nodded greetings to Guo Jun and Dong Tianyu, and then curiously asked Lin Xiaoshan:

"Teacher Lin, may I ask who these people are...?"

"How should I address them?"

Qin Yu's question hadn't even been answered by Lin Xiaoshan.

Dong Tianyu had already jumped in to answer first:

"Haha, Junior Brother Qin Yu, I heard Teacher Lin say that you were previously assassinated by a small local financial group in your Jiangzhou City, right?"

"These people were specifically sent by the academy's order to help you resolve this matter. They are the Internal Combat Department of our Star Ring Academy!"

After Dong Tianyu finished speaking, these people wearing distinctly different Star Ring Academy uniforms also greeted Qin Yu one after another:

"Junior Brother Qin Yu, hello, hello. I am Guo Zihao, the Captain dispatched by the academy to investigate your assassination."

"I looked at today's College Entrance Examination results. Tsk tsk, the top scholar of the college entrance examination, impressive! The future of our academy will likely rest on your shoulders."

"So this is the top scholar of the college entrance examination? Haha, speaking of which, since our academy dropped to fourth or fifth place, not a single top scholar of the college entrance examination has been willing to come to us in over a decade."

"Junior Brother Qin Yu, tell us, did Teacher Lin use some kind of hallucinogenic potion on you right when you awakened your Class to make you agree?"

"Feel free to admit it. If it's true, Big Sister will help you vent your anger! But since you've agreed, you can't back out now, okay?"

"Hahaha..."

Although Guo Zihao and the others clearly held positions much higher than ordinary academy students like Guo Jun and Dong Tianyu.

But the plots about snobs looking down on others, as seen in novels,

did not appear at all.

Everyone was quite enthusiastic toward Qin Yu.

Especially one of the pretty female students, who even flirted with Qin Yu.

Obviously, even though Qin Yu was only Level 19 in their eyes and could only be considered a low-tier Class Changer, his identity as the top scholar of the college entrance examination and his total energy level of 5470 euler were undeniable.

This still made them take him very seriously!

In response, Qin Yu naturally replied warmly to each of them: "Captain Guo, hello. Thank you for traveling thousands of miles to Jiangzhou City to investigate for me..."

Only after chatting with everyone for a few words did Qin Yu turn back and ask Lin Xiaoshan:

"Teacher Lin, could this be the surprise you mentioned on the phone?"

"Then this truly is a surprise!"

"With Captain Guo and the others stepping in, I believe Li Xingzhang won't be able to hide for long."

However, what Qin Yu didn't expect was... as soon as he said these words.

Everyone present, whether it was Lin Xiaoshan, Dong Tianyu, Guo Jun, or Guo Zihao's group, immediately wore strange, stifled smiles.

This scene naturally made Qin Yu feel momentarily confused.

It wasn't until a while later that a guess arose in Qin Yu's mind... and soon, his guess was confirmed by Guo Zihao:

"Student Qin Yu, it seems you still don't quite understand the efficiency of our academy's Action Department."

"The few of us arrived while you were still taking the College Entrance Examination..."

"We found Li Xingzhang on the very night we arrived."

"The reason we called you over now is naturally to 'report back' to you, the person involved."
