580: If you don’t go to bed at midnight, you will be deducted 1 credit!
In the various dormitories, after the calls between the Old Man and his children and grandchildren ended, some Old Men with connections made other calls.
"Mr. Wang, how have you been recently?" In the dormitory, after the unpleasant call with his son ended, the White-Haired Old Man with a white beard and hair called this Old Friend he was still in contact with.
"Old Qiao?" In the call, the Old Man's voice carried a hint of surprise: "Haha, I'm doing great. It's rare for you to call me."
"It seems that after retiring, Old Qiao, you've also been very busy, so busy that you often can't answer when I call."
"Sigh, at my age, what can I be busy with? Being busy is just a waste of time." The White-Haired Old Man smiled and shook his head: "You've done well. Your plans over the years have been completed one by one, much more impressive than I was back then."
"Not at all, Old Qiao, please don't say that. Now that I'm in a new department, I'm not as capable as before." The Old Man on the phone smiled humbly, putting down the material about the related strange beasts in his hand.
"New department?"
"Yes... wasn't the missing person case that swept the World a while ago quite big? For this matter, a department was specifically established, and now I'm working in this new department."
"Oh..." Qiao Lao didn't ask further.
"I still don't know what Old Qiao called for this time?" The King on the phone proactively asked.
"There is something, but it's not a big deal." In the dormitory, the Old Man referred to as Qiao Lao coughed and cleared his throat: "It's like this, you know about the university for the elderly, right?"
"Yes, I know that. There are several in our city."
"Well, I'm currently attending a university for the elderly."
"Oh? Old Brother, you're still going to school at this age?" The Old Man on the phone was slightly surprised.
"Live till old, learn till old." Qiao Lao chuckled, and then changed the subject: "But ah, my son, he doesn't want me to go to school now, and he even wants to seal our School!"
"Seal your School? I've met that Child, Xiao Qiao, he shouldn't be such an unreasonable Child, right?" The Old Man surnamed Wang said, and then took the material about the related strange beasts delivered by his Assistant, frowning slightly while looking at the material.
"Reasonable? Mr. Wang, you really don't know how unreasonable my Child is." Qiao Lao's words about his son were full of suppressed anger.
Clearly, the anger from the previous call had not yet dissipated.
"I'm actually just worried that the investigation team my son sends tomorrow will come over, falsely accuse and frame this School of mine, and use some invalid evidence to seal the School."
"So I thought, if Mr. Wang, you have time, could you send two people down to be a witness?"
"Just to be fair, and not let them boss us around and turn white into black."
Listening to Qiao Lao's words, King, who was looking at the material about the strange beasts, chuckled: "I thought it was some difficult matter. Old Qiao, you don't need to ask me for help with this matter, I happen to have people going to various Schools to conduct investigations recently."
"Since Old Qiao, you've said so, I'll have those investigators check your School first!"
"Haha, then I'll trouble you, Old Brother." Qiao Lao said happily.
"What trouble is there? It's completely on the way. I was going to do this myself anyway, but if the person I send to do the notarization really finds a problem with your School, Old Brother, they won't show any mercy."
"Don't worry, there are no problems with this School of mine."
The call ended, and in a simple office, King slowly put down his telephone.
All his attention was focused on the material in front of him.
[It has been confirmed that the strange beasts come from another World.]
[The passage they came through is a spatial rift caused by extreme spatial instability.]
[Preliminary estimate, there are currently over thirty spatial rifts worldwide.]
[According to the latest observation, within ten days in Hong City, a rare large spatial rift is highly likely to appear!]
[Please prepare for the evacuation of the public as soon as possible.]
Cultivation University, 303 Dormitory.
"Ah, by the way, where are your bags?" When Li Hongda was sleeping, after tidying up his things, he suddenly remembered something.
He hadn't seen the bags on the backs of these three roommates on the way back!
"Lost them. Those things were heavy as hell and affected my swordplay." Xiao Dahe waved his hand casually.
Tang Weida yawned: "I lost it when I was seriously injured by that Dragon. After my Child saved me and I became like that, I didn't have the heart to find the bag again."
"I put it down when I was helping Dad contract the strange beast, and forgot to carry it back." Tang Pinde had only recently woken up, and his words were weak.
"You guys just left all three bags in that Forest?!" Li Hongda's tone was serious.
"What's wrong?" Tang Weida didn't understand the situation.
"What's wrong? Those are good things that my Child put a lot of effort into creating. You guys lost them without even using them once, you have to compensate!"
"Compensate? Compensate then, how much?" Tang Weida didn't even raise his eyelids when he heard this.
"One meal each!"
"What?! Old Li, are you so black-hearted? I'm telling you, you can be greedy with my money, but if you want to eat my food... no way!" Tang Weida's tiger eyes widened.
"Otherwise, what? Those are good things that my Child put a lot of effort into creating, there aren't many in the whole World! If you don't compensate with a meal, do you want to compensate with money?"
"Old Li, what you're saying is wrong." Suddenly, a voice that didn't belong to anyone in 303 Dormitory came from outside the door.
"Hiss... Lao Zhang, are you trying to die? Why are you running to our dormitory in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?!"
Li Hongda was startled by the sudden voice.
"I'm here to correct the mistakes in your words." Zhang Tongqian spoke slowly.
"Those three bags containing wilderness survival equipment are indeed very precious, but their preciousness is not in the intrinsic value of the things themselves. Their preciousness is reflected in the fact that they are evidence."
"Evidence? Lao Zhang, why have you been acting so strangely since you came back from that Forest?" Li Hongda said, reaching out to touch Zhang Tongqian's forehead: "No fever, are you senile?"
Zhang Tongqian pushed away the Old Man's hand next to him, stroking his beard: "Actually, after our battle with the Blue Flame Tyrant Dragon ended, a group of Wei Shi Alliance people had already arrived at the place where we fought the Blue Flame Tyrant Dragon."
"It is precisely because of the three bags you left there that the Wei Shi Alliance's suspicion of us was aroused, and thus they will come to our School tomorrow to investigate."
"Some of them have already roughly determined in their hearts that we are really Cultivators!"
"Is that true?!" Li Hongda got up from the bed in alarm.
"I have calculated it."
"What's the use of your calculation? Those three bags are evidence, and when they bring them out tomorrow, they will be our evidence of being present!" Li Hongda said, slapping the back of his hand, his face full of eagerness.
"Don't panic, on the task wall, you can buy the same bags and tools you lost." Zhang Tongqian said with a smile and a wave of his hand.
However, the subsequent voice made him unable to maintain his profound state.
"Student Zhang Tongqian, not sleeping in the middle of the night, deduct 1 credit!" As the prophecy diary pages turned, a calm voice appeared.
