NOVEL WEB Chapter 128: Huge Harvest, Crystals Collected! (Please Follow)
To be exact, this thief was brought here by none other than the Deputy Director himself!
He was also the thief's accomplice!
The Winged Dragon Academy Prides' pupils shrank, and they cried out,
"There were four or five incidents? That's insane!"
"Who knows what kind of disaster that evil Contractor is planning to harm the nation and its people!"
"Deputy Director, you absolutely have to bring him to justice!"
"Yeah, this time it's the Red Fire Demon Ants, next time it might be us."
As they spoke, one after another showed terror on their faces, pleading with the Deputy Director.
The Deputy Director clasped his hands behind his back, radiating a righteous and imposing aura, and said forcefully,
"Everyone rest assured, guarding Modu Academy was always my duty as defending Deputy Director,"
"That sneaky evil Contractor, we will definitely catch him and judge him with justice!"
Hearing this, the Winged Dragon Academy Prides felt much more secure, their eyes practically sparkling with admiration for him.
Their youthful hearts were moved, and they all straightened their backs and said,
"Deputy Director, you really are a role model for us!"
"Right, we should be like Deputy Director in the future—punish evil and stand for justice!"
"Pfft!" Hiding in the grass, Liu Ya nearly burst out laughing, her sparkling eyes curving into two crescent moons.
*Xiao Ye was absolutely stunned by the Deputy Director's words. When it came to showing off, no one could beat Little Deputy.*
In his mind, the notification from the Template Adjuster popped up.
[Red Fire Demon Ant, Grandmaster realm, successfully extracted 500 Creation Rule Fragment Crystals]
[Fire-red Demon Ant, Grandmaster realm, successfully extracted 500 Fire Element Rule Fragment Crystals]
[Red Fire Demon Ant King Beast, Grandmaster realm, successfully extracted 50 Supreme Crystals]
[Red Fire Demon Ant King Beast, Grandmaster realm, successfully extracted 30 Fire Element Rule Fragment Crystals]
"Holy shit!"
"So many drops?"
500 Creation, 530 Fire Element, and 50 Supreme Crystals!
Surprise hit him out of nowhere, and Xiao Ye's eyes widened in shock.
Getting 50 Supreme Crystals in one go was just insane!
Previously, he already had 30 Supreme, 438 Creation, 80 Wood Element, 115 Gold Element, 182 Fire Element, 60 Water Element, 38 Earth Element, 5 Dark Element, and 1 Ice Element.
Adding in this extraction,
His total was now: 80 Supreme, 938 Creation, 712 Fire Element, 115 Gold Element, 80 Wood Element, 60 Water Element, 38 Earth Element, 5 Dark Element, 1 Ice Element.
The upgrade requirements for the SSS-rank Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Template were:
10 Gold Element, 10 Wood Element, 10 Fire Element, 10 Earth Element, 10 Water Element, 50 Creation, 50 Supreme.
He had everything!
Not far away, the Deputy Director seemed to have finished his speech and began to wrap up,
"Alright, it's not a good time to practice combat these days, so you all head back to Winged Dragon Academy."
"As for me, it's time to begin the quest to catch the Contractor!"
Over twenty Contractor prodigy students took the cue and quickly gave their thanks,
"Thank you, Deputy Director, from everyone at Winged Dragon Academy."
Help us out by reading on M|V|LEM5PYR.
"Yeah, when you come to Winged Dragon Academy, we'll definitely welcome you with a banquet."
"Goodbye, Deputy Director."
After expressing their thanks, they left.
Watching the retreating Winged Dragon Students, who kept glancing back with worshipful gazes, the Deputy Director blushed.
Once the students were far away, Liu Ya and Xiao Ye stepped out of the grass.
"Heroic Deputy Director, righter of wrongs, you're really impressive," Liu Ya teased.
"Uh!" The Deputy Director awkwardly scratched the back of his head with his hand. "Teacher, please don't make fun of me… I only did it for your husband."
Xiao Ye said with a laugh, "Little Deputy, you did great."
Being praised, the big Deputy Director stood tall, fairly beaming, and said, "Heh heh!"
"Mr. Xiao, it's still early, should we head to the next spot?"
Xiao Ye had all the Crystals he needed and didn't really want to go, but seeing how enthusiastic he was, it was hard to refuse. He hesitated and said, "Where to?"
The Deputy Director's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "The Azure Water Demon Frog race! Their King Beast offspring are just as plentiful as the Red Fire Demon Ants!"
"Heh heh, I remember the Spirit Plant Academy Prodigy Students were raiding that Demon Beast Group today, and it should be about time they finish."
"If we go now, we'll get in on the loot gra—"
"Ahem, I mean, we'll go uphold justice!"
He hurriedly corrected himself, but when he said 'loot,' his face showed a barely-suppressed excitement.
*Xiao Ye, …*
*Uphold justice, my ass. You're addicted to showing off, aren't you?*
*Goddess Teaching Assistant would never get addicted.*
Xiao Ye glanced at Liu Ya, but just then she looked rather excited herself. "Xiao Ye, Azure Water Demon Frogs sound awesome, let's go!"
"…" The corner of Xiao Ye's mouth twitched.
"Teaching Assistant, why don't we just go home? Snatching other people's loot all day doesn't feel right. We should be good people and avoid doing things against our conscience."
*This guy was clearly the one who'd snatched enough, and now he was lecturing others.*
Liu Ya didn't seem to care in the least. She pouted her pink lips and muttered, "What do you mean, against our conscience?"
"How many times have we Kunpeng Prides been robbed before? Almost every week we get hit."
The Deputy Director nodded in agreement, "That's true. The other eight academies don't dare loot the top-ranked Titan Pride, so they make Kunpeng Pride their target."
"They even brag about robbing Kunpeng Pride's loot on the official forums if they get enough of it."
"So, as the strongest prodigy of Kunpeng Academy, Mr. Xiao, a few times nabbing loot is nothing. What goes around comes around—you loot mine, I loot yours. No need for a guilty conscience."
The Deputy Director sighed. *Mr. Xiao was just too kindhearted. He'd never experienced the end-of-the-world dogfight. Snatching loot was nothing worth fussing over.*
Liu Ya let out a sigh, "Sigh, Xiao Ye, if you don't want to go against your conscience, we can't force you. Let's just go back."
The Deputy Director tried to comfort him as well, "Yeah, yeah, no need to feel bad, Mr. Xiao. We can head home. I need to host the junior brothers anyway."
But when Xiao Ye heard about the Kunpeng students getting targeted by the other nine academies, robbed every week,
*A sudden surge of anger roared up inside him. He said,*
"Those guys have some nerve. Us Kunpeng Prides are not pushovers."
"Let's go, let's loot so— I mean, let's go uphold justice!"
As he spoke, he took the lead and strode onward. These Crystals were Supreme Treasures coveted even by Supremes—never enough for him. There were so many ways to use Treasures like these beyond just upgrading Templates, so the more the better.
*Deputy Director, …*
*Liu Ya, …*
*This sudden change of heart left them both speechless.*
Liu Ya stifled a laugh and quickly caught up. "Little Deputy, come on."
The big Deputy Director's face blossomed with a bright smile. "You got it! Time for justice!"
Both of them felt a strong sense of belonging to Kunpeng Academy. To vent their frustrations, they were more than happy to go snatch loot from other academy prodigies.
At one of the Thousand-Transformation Lakes—Demon Toad Lake,
Among the ten academies at Modu Academy, Spirit Plant Academy ranked fourth, and its prodigy students were fighting the Azure Water Demon Toad Demon Beast Group in Summoned Beast Form within the lake.
Ice Element White Snake, Ice Snow Lotus Beast, Ice Element Fairy Beast, and others had frozen the entire lake solid.
The Azure Water Demon Frog group had lost their home field advantage, and their combat power was greatly reduced.
The Demon Frog side was basically at the end of their rope.
Suddenly, a big fat guy appeared in midair above the lake, hands clasped behind his back, watching everything unfold.
