36: Chapter 36 From now on, Teacher Su and I are considered geniuses too.

After leaving Seventeenth Middle School, I arranged to meet Zhou Libin and asked him to help sell another eight runes.

Once sold, adding Teacher Wu's two million, I would have fifteen million.

I still had twenty-two such runes left. If I could sell them all, Teacher Su and I would have enough money to upgrade to Heaven Rank Middle Grade.

But the problem was, I had already asked everyone I could. Who else was left?

Near noon, I received a call from Teacher Wu saying the cash was ready and asking where to deliver the two big suitcases.

Yun Zhuo arranged to meet him at a restaurant, just in time for lunch.

In the private room, a matte hexagonal metal table with glowing edges popped up a holographic menu when touched.

Yun Zhuo curiously swiped through it a few times.

"Teacher Su, it's embarrassing to say, but we've known each other for so long, and I still don't know what you like to eat."

Teacher Su, who was pouring him tea, laughed. "You brat, you actually know shame? I thought your heart had been eaten by a dog."

"Actually, the moment I first saw you, my heart was eaten by you."

"Pfft, smooth talker... wait, are you calling me a dog?"

"Teacher Su, even if you call yourself a dog, I wouldn't dislike you. Not only would I not dislike you, I'd even let you bully others with my backing."

"You... Hmph! I can't win an argument with you."

"Is there any need for us to determine a winner or loser? From the moment I first saw you, I had already lost completely."

Facing Yun Zhuo's romantic offensive, Teacher Su's lowered eyelashes fluttered, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve upward. However, she deliberately gave a light cough, turned her eyes away, and her voice softened:

"With that silver tongue of yours, who knows how many girls you'll deceive in the future."

"That's something only my wife would care about. Why are you concerned about it?"

"I... we have a death pact, can't I be concerned?"

"Wrong. What we have isn't a death pact, it's a wonderful union, a match made in heaven. We've pledged the oath of mandarin ducks, to grow old together forever."

Seeing the joy hidden in Teacher Su's eyes, Yun Zhuo picked up the teapot, poured tea into her cup, and smiled. "Happy, aren't you?"

"Hmph, what a killjoy. You little scumbag, can't you let me be happy for a little longer?"

"Alright, alright. What do you want to eat? You need to be full to have the energy to be happy."

"Overlord Shrimp..."

At this moment, the private room door was pushed open, and Wu Song and Ban Jinlian walked in.

"Heh, you brat, now that you're rich, you're different, huh? You pick such a nice place to eat. I circled the entrance twice and didn't even dare to come in."

Yun Zhuo quickly stood up and laughed. "Teacher Wu, what are you saying? Isn't this thanks to you and the Teacher's Wife?"

As he spoke, he pulled out a chair for the Teacher's Wife and invited her to sit.

Teacher Wu took out two large suitcases from his storage bracelet, placed them on the table, and opened them one by one. "Two million. Count it."

"What's there to count? I trust Teacher Wu's character."

Ban Jinlian grabbed Yun Zhuo's hand and said, "Even brothers settle accounts clearly. If you don't count such a large sum of money, we won't be at ease."

"Alright, I'll listen to the Teacher's Wife. I'll count it."

After saying that, Yun Zhuo placed his hand on the corrosion crystal and silently recited in his heart: "Top up."

【Ding! Top-up successful. This time, a total of two million was topped up. Account balance is 2.15 million.】

"Not a penny more, not a penny less, exactly two million. Now the Teacher's Wife and Teacher Wu can be at ease."

Teacher Wu laughed. "You brat, if it's short later, we won't acknowledge it."

"Even if it were short, it would be because I lost it."

Ban Jinlian sighed from the side. "You can't be like this in the future, otherwise you'll suffer a loss sooner or later."

"Don't worry, Teacher's Wife. Except for you and Teacher Wu, if anyone else came, I would definitely use a money counter and count it a dozen times today."

After saying that, Yun Zhuo looked at Teacher Wu and said, "Teacher Wu, could I ask for another favor?"

"You have more runes to sell?"

"Heh heh, as expected, nothing can be hidden from Teacher Wu."

"Bring them here. Those people haven't left yet, and there was more than one wave. In the end, I sold them to that group from Spark City to the highest bidder. To tell you the truth, I made a net profit of 320,000 this time."

"We agreed before, I only want two million. Whatever Teacher Wu earns is your own ability."

After finishing, Yun Zhuo took out another seven.

Originally, Yun Zhuo only planned to give him five this time, letting him help sell them bit by bit.

Although the total number remained the same, spreading it out meant only a few million at a time. From what I could see, it wasn't enough to make Wu Song lose his mind over money.

Also, the Chen family probably couldn't wait any longer and was about to make a move. I had to raise my talent and hurry up and level up.

If I could level up even once more, my life would have that much more protection.

At the same time, Yun Zhuo didn't gamble with all his assets; he still had fifteen runes left.

If Wu Song couldn't even resist the temptation of seven million, there was still the ten million from Principal Zhou and Principal Ren.

As long as one of them kept their word and brought the money, plus the fifteen runes, I would still have a chance to push for Heaven Rank Middle Grade.

Although this was a bit like judging a gentleman with a villain's heart, for someone like me without a Foundation, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Then again, if I didn't say it myself, who would know I was judging a gentleman with a villain's heart?

As soon as Teacher Wu got the runes, he could no longer suppress his excited heart and stood up with a swoosh.

"I think you should just focus on combining and selling runes in the future. Why bother with university?"

"University is still necessary, otherwise no matter how much money I have in the future, I won't be able to keep it."

"Alright, alright, you guys eat first. While those people haven't left yet, I'll hurry and sell these off."

"Teacher Wu, no need to be so rushed, right?"

"How can I not be rushed? This is all money!"

The Teacher's Wife glared at Teacher Wu, then pulled Yun Zhuo back to his seat. "Xiao Zhuo, don't mind him. Let's eat."

Teacher Wu left quickly and came back quickly, just in time for some leftovers.

He wasn't picky. After tossing the bracelet containing seven million in corrosion crystals to Yun Zhuo, he shoveled some of the remaining soup and food from the table into his bowl.

The Teacher's Wife on the side couldn't watch anymore and gave him the food that had been packed up earlier.

On the way home, Yun Zhuo received calls from the two principals again. The general gist was that I was lucky to have caught someone coming to Dawn City to collect runes.

They sold them all at once and told Yun Zhuo to hurry and pick up the money.

Principal Ren gave 5.5 million, and Principal Zhou gave 9 million.

With more runes, they naturally couldn't sell for as high a price, but when it came to business, Principal Zhou was clearly a cut above.

Neither principal took a commission; they couldn't afford to lose face like that. What they wanted was for Yun Zhuo to bring glory to them in the Martial Arts Examination.

Back home, Yun Zhuo couldn't wait to open the inlay slot for Teacher Su, bringing her directly to Heaven Rank Middle Grade.

Moreover, this slot opening finally confirmed to Yun Zhuo that for every grade he rose, the conversion efficiency of Corrosion Energy was definitely not the three times Teacher Wu had mentioned, but five times.

It was the same for Teacher Su; her absorption speed of Corrosion Energy also increased five times for every grade she improved.

I had heard people around me say that Geniuses have good talent and level up quickly. Now, Teacher Su and I could count ourselves among the Ranks of Geniuses.
