Zhou Xueguo’s eyes widened when he saw this.
He stammered, “This… this is…”
“Scarlet Blood Vine, Rhino Horn,” Zhou Hao said softly. “With these two, Mother should be able to repay the company’s debt, right?”
Zhou Xueguo leaned closer and stared at the two things in Zhou Hao’s hand.
After a long while, he said shakily, “Son, where did you get this?”
He knew very well that these two materials were very expensive. They cost at least 500,000 yuan.
Moreover, judging from the quality, it was probably top-notch and even more expensive.
Zhou Hao knew his father’s personality. If he didn’t give him a convincing source, Zhou Xueguo would definitely not take it to repay his debt.
“Dad, one of my classmates gave it to me,” Zhou Hao stammered.
“In your class? Was it Xu Ling from the Xu family?” Zhou Xueguo asked directly.
Zhou Hao nodded.
Zhou Xueguo immediately understood and did not know whether to laugh or to cry. “Son, why would you ask them? These two things are very expensive. No matter how good your relationship with her is, we can’t ask for such a huge favor. We’ll return them tomorrow.”
Zhou Hao hurriedly said, “Dad, if I return it, what will Xu Ling think? She’ll think that I’m disrespecting her.”
Zhou Xueguo thought about it and felt that his son was right.
A daughter from such a rich family would definitely not accept a returned gift.
If Zhou Hao forced her to take it back, he might even anger her.
However, for Miss Xu to casually give away such a valuable item, it seemed like her relationship with their son was not simple.
After hesitating for a while, Zhou Xueguo still accepted the Scarlet Blood Vine and the Rhino Horn. However, he said righteously, “Son, this won’t happen again. As for these two materials, consider them as borrowed money. I’ll write an IOU later and you can give it to her.”
Zhou Hao nodded. Soon, Zhou Xueguo handed over the IOU.
“Keep it well. Don’t lose it.”
After Zhou Xueguo left, Zhou Hao returned to the bed and pondered alone.
Based on Zhou Xueguo’s reaction to the two materials, Zhou Hao’s parents would probably be scared silly if he showed them the millions of yuan in his card.
After all, there were six million in the card. If he sold the other demon beast materials, he could accumulate more than ten million.
It was not easy for him to explain where he got such a huge sum of money.
Unless he revealed his strength.
But if that happened, his parents would probably be even more worried.
This was because they knew very well that the stronger one was, the greater the responsibility. Furthermore, with his parents’ personality, they probably also wouldn’t let him hide in the city and be a coward.
“Regardless of whether or not I have money, I still have to end up worrying… Looks like I can’t just sit idly in school!” Zhou Hao lay on the bed helplessly with his hands behind his head.
The next day.
The warm morning sun shone on Qu City High School. As soon as Zhou Hao entered the classroom, he heard a chaotic discussion.
The aftermath of yesterday’s tournament had not subsided yet. The topics of discussion among the students in the class were basically all about the tournament.
Sitting in his seat, he habitually opened the virtual screen.
On it, the luck points read: 53,000 (Current level: overwhelming luck.)
After opening the mystery boxes last night, Zhou Hao had also killed the Red Spot Python and the Iron Tooth Dragon Alligator, allowing him to accumulate more than 50,000 luck points.
The king-level Iron Tooth Dragon Alligator alone got him 50,000 luck points. However, he was in no hurry to open any mystery boxes. He planned to accumulate more luck points before opening more boxes.
He browsed the heated chat hall and the mystery boxes for more information before turning off the virtual screen.
Not long after, a refreshing fragrance surged over.
He looked up and met Xu Ling’s gaze.
“Don’t think that you can relax just because you paid off your debt. If you don’t break through to the first level of blood essence, you won’t even be able to find a job after you graduate!” Xu Ling said coldly as she sat down.
Then, without looking back, she left as her long black back swayed around.
Zhou Hao couldn’t help but laugh.
This Xu Ling probably had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
He hadn’t realized it before.
However, seeing that Xu Ling still had the mood to lecture him, it was likely that Xu Ling had already recovered from her frightened state last night.
Ring ring.
As soon as class began, the homeroom teacher strode in, surprising the students.
“Why is the homeroom teacher here?”
“If I remember correctly, we have material science during this period!”
“I don’t know.”
The homeroom teacher ignored the discussion below and swept his gaze around. His eyes landed on Xu Ling and Zhang Yi before he smiled and said, “Our class did well in the tournament yesterday. Xu Ling and Zhang Yi have entered the top five. They’re worthy of praise.”
He led the applause, and the students below followed suit.
“However…” The homeroom teacher’s tone suddenly changed.” Due to the accidents yesterday, many students were unable to participate in the tournament. The school leaders discussed it overnight and prepared to hold another competition in three days.. The rewards will be doubled. ”
