Chapter 430: The Rich Are Willful, Accepting His Fate Without Money

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Under the resentful gazes of the mutated beasts, Wang Xiao finally stopped this repeated test. He had already completely grasped the effect of [Mimicry]. Next, it was time to test [Suffocation] and [Dream].

“Are you ready?”

Wang Xiao looked at the [Cloud Beast] that had returned to its ball form and asked in a low voice. However, just as he was about to give the order to activate the [Suffocation] skill, he suddenly discovered an awkward thing—he did not have enough energy.

After the soldiers signed a contract with the lord, all their actions would consume the lord’s energy.

It was unknown if it was because there were too many changes just now or if activating the [Mimicry] would consume a huge amount of energy, but Wang Xiao’s energy bar had already reached its limit.

Such a terrifying consumption shocked Wang Xiao. However, it was a diamond quality soldier after all, so it was normal for it to consume more.

“No wonder only those powerful lords will use diamond mutated beasts. This consumption is really not something ordinary people can withstand!”

Wang Xiao muttered and took out an [Energy Potion], but after some thought, he put it back.

The [Energy Potion] was used in emergency situations on the battlefield. If he used it often, it would cause damage to his body. In any case, the [Cloud Beast] was already his contract beast. He would have plenty of time to test it in the future.

“You should be tired too, right? Let’s leave it at that for today!”

As Wang Xiao spoke, he waved his hand at the territory. “This is my territory.

From now on, it’s your home. Choose a place you like and rest!”

With that said, Wang Xiao patted the [Cloud Beast] and suddenly realized that the feeling was different from what he had imagined.

The surface of the [Cloud Beast] looked very smooth, but it was soft and furry to the touch. It did not match Wang Xiao’s masculine temperament, but Zhou Xiruo would definitely like it.

As he was thinking about it, the [Cloud Beast] had already slowly floated towards a certain place. Wang Xiao stood on the spot for a while before withdrawing his consciousness from the territory.

When he opened his eyes on the bed at home, Wang Xiao realized that the sky was already bright outside.

Wang Xiao patted his face hard to dispel the thought of staying in bed. He dragged his tired body out of bed and walked towards the military building.

Probably because it was too early, there were not many people in the military building. Wang Xiao took the elevator to the top floor. He originally wanted to wait for someone in Chen Jinrong’s office, but he did not expect to meet Chen Jinrong the moment he opened the door.

The two of them made eye contact. Wang Xiao immediately felt a little embarrassed. He was stunned for a few seconds before he braced himself and shouted, “Good morning, Commander Chen!”

Wang Xiao’s expression changed and he hurriedly explained, “It’s not that I don’t take you seriously. I just didn’t expect you to come so early!”

“Oh,” Chen Jinrong replied. “I didn’t come early. I just didn’t go back last night.”

Wang Xiao was stunned when he heard this. Only then did he realize that Chen Jinrong’s face was indeed a little tired, and his eyes were bloodshot.

After being stunned for a moment, Wang Xiao hurriedly squeezed out a smile. “Commander Chen is indeed the leader of the military. Even though you’re in a high position, you’re still exhausted. You’re indeed a role model for us—but you still have to take care of your health!”

“Stop flattering me. Is this part of your lines?”

Chen Jinrong glanced at Wang Xiao angrily. “If you have something to say, say it. If not, leave quickly. I still have many things to deal with.”

“Yes, yes!”

Wang Xiao did not mind being scolded. He chuckled and sat opposite Chen Jinrong. He pursed his lips and probed, “Regarding the school exchange next week, you previously said that you would give me the right to choose people. I wonder if I can still do it now?”

“Student exchange?” 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝙚𝒘𝙚𝙗𝙣𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝒐𝓶

Chen Jinrong frowned. “Haven’t the candidates for the competition already been confirmed? What are you up to this time?”

“I don’t think I’m the one causing trouble, right?”

Wang Xiao smiled at Chen Jinrong. “I heard that there’s a new member called Liu Yingying?”

“…You’re quite well-informed.”

Chen Jinrong paused for a moment and nodded. He reviewed the documents and casually said, “This Liu Yingying’s identity is rather special. Remember to build a good relationship with her when the time comes. It will be beneficial to you in the future.”

“What benefits?”

The smile on Wang Xiao’s face disappeared. “Can there be a discount when buying things in the Lord’s Shop?”

Upon hearing the words “Lord’s Shop”, Chen Jinrong paused and looked up at

Wang Xiao. “Do you know her?”

“It’s more than that. I can recognize her even if she turns to ashes!”

Wang Xiao sneered and directly exaggerated the grudge between the two of them. He especially emphasized Liu Yingying’s pettiness and unreasonableness.

On the other hand, Chen Jinrong was quietly listening and did not interrupt. He initially did not have any reaction. It was only when Wang Xiao finished that he asked indifferently, “So what do you want?”

“I want to kick her out of the team.”

Wang Xiao went straight to the point and said, “You can let Gao Lixuan from Yuheng Academy participate, or you can choose someone else. In short, I don’t want to participate in the school exchange with her!”

When Chen Jinrong heard this, he shook his head without thinking. “No, Liu Yingying can’t be replaced.”

Wang Xiao was stunned. “Are you afraid of offending the Lord’s Shop?”

“That’s not true.”

Chen Jinrong waved his hand and pulled out a document from the side. “To tell you the truth, I agreed to let Liu Yingying participate because she agreed to bear all the expenses of this trip.”

“Now that I’ve already received the money, it’s fine if you insist on replacing her, but you have to pay for the expenses.”

“Fine, I’ll pay! Anyvvay, I can’t…”

As Wang Xiao spoke, he casually flipped open the document. When he saw the long string of numbers, he instantly swallowed the rest of his words. “Why, why are there so many expenses?”

“The twelve of them would travel for at least half a year. The carriages, accommodation, food and drinks all cost money. This is already considered a small amount.”

As Chen Jinrong spoke, he took back the document and looked at Wang Xiao with a faint smile. “How is it? Are you still going to replace her?”

Wang Xiao pursed his lips awkwardly. He could not afford this even if he sold himself. However, he felt a little unwilling to go back just like that.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Xiao tried his best to pretend to have a tough attitude. “It’s fine if you don’t change her, but you have to agree to one condition! ”

Chen Jinrong raised his eyebrows. “This matter was originally decided by me. Now that I’m asking you to follow the arrangements, I still have to agree to one condition of yours?”

“Right!”

Wang Xiao nodded heavily and directly put on a shameless attitude. “If you don’t agree, I’ll definitely cause trouble on the way after we set off. If I ruin your plan, don’t blame me for not reminding you!”

“Oh? Are you threatening me?”

Chen Jinrong smiled bitterly and looked at Wang Xiao. Before he could speak, he nodded again. “Since you’ve said so, I have to express my opinion.”

Wang Xiao was delighted. “You agree?” f(r)eewebn(o)vel.com

“It’s not that.”

Chen Jinrong shook his head and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared. “You don’t have to go on the school exchange this time..”
