After the regular meeting, it was getting late.
The four members of the Astronomy Class 08-1 team of the Forgiveness Hunting Team gathered in the corner of the classroom as usual to conduct their own regular meeting. As the captain of the hunting team, Zheng Qing has always been the host of this informal meeting:
"I have other arrangements next Saturday and need to continue to take leave, so I will take time this week to complete the patrol mission on Saturday night in advance... and I need to submit another leave application to Professor Monteria."
Thinking of Professor Monteria's stern gaze, Zheng Qing felt guilty. Taking leave for three consecutive weeks, even as a temporary assistant, was a bit too much. He felt that he would be kicked out of the laboratory by Professor Monteria at any time.
.But the silent contract that has been signed cannot be reneged on.
Thinking of this, he sighed deeply, tried to cheer up, and continued to make arrangements: "...So, the hunting team's training tasks this week are still arranged and responsible for the elders. Do you have any objections?"
As he said that, he looked at Zhang Jixin with an inquiring look.
The red-faced wizard crossed his arms, slightly lowered the corners of his mouth, and nodded with a serious expression, looking like "I'm very reliable."
"You still can't tell us what you were doing on Saturdays, right?" Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses, looked at Zheng Qing, and asked softly.
Zheng Qing hesitated for a few seconds and slowly shook his head: "Silence contract."
Several companions showed unexpected expressions.
Xiao Xiao's hand holding the quill paused in mid-air and added: "Even if you can't tell others, you should leave a letter and explain your whereabouts... This way, if anything happens, at least we can
I know where to find you."
He said this as if Zheng Qing would be stuffed into a tree hole by a kidnapper with his head covered in the next second.
The young public-funded student laughed dryly and nodded. He did not give a clear answer, but continued the topic of the meeting: "Let's stop talking about this matter... The next thing is D&K's business situation last week."
As he spoke, he pulled out a list - this was the account given to him by Feihe, the fox tribe's Hank, who was the accountant of D&K not long ago - he cleared his throat and read: "Last week's turnover was two jade, three beans, triangle zero and four
After deducting the cost, the net profit is one jade coin, seven gold beans, five silver cents and thirteen copper coins. The specific list items..."
As he spoke, he glanced at the dense numbers and sales information at the back of the summary, and suddenly felt a headache. He waved his hand and said briefly: "Interested students can apply to the doctor to view the accounts. Those who are not interested will wait until the mid-term accounts come out at the end of the semester."
Let’s distribute the dividends later. As for the profits of the current period, according to the previous system, they will be transferred to the hunting team’s provident fund to bear all the expenses of the next hunting competition.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Instead, Zhang Jixin held his chin and asked: "I heard that this year's Spring Hunt has been postponed? Do you know when it will be held? The standard talismans I bought before are about to expire."
Zheng Qing shrugged: "How do I know this kind of thing? I'm not from the school working committee or the student office."
"But you are a government-funded student!" Zhang Jixin blinked: "Government-funded students have channels to obtain sensitive information."
"I don't know." Zheng Qing twitched his lips and refused: "It might be faster if you ask Fatty to help inquire about this kind of thing. As for your soon-to-expiry talismans, put them in the store first and deal with them when needed.
Getting the goods from the store can always reduce some time loss."
"Received." Fatty Xin had Zheng Qing and Xiao Xiao's history of magic homework in front of him. He was comparing them, intending to combine the arguments of the two companions to improve his own argument.
Although he did not get accurate information, the red-faced wizard nodded with satisfaction by reducing the losses slightly.
"Is there anything else?" Zheng Qing looked around, wanting to end this tedious process as soon as possible.
Xiao Xiao cleared his throat and raised his hand.
"The Divine Will has once again extended an olive branch to us and hopes that we will attend the 'Linzhong Lake Security' meeting on Wednesday night to discuss the threat from the fishman tribe." He considered and asked: "Do you want to go and listen to what they have to say?
What?"
"No." Zheng Qing waved his hand and resolutely stopped him: "That's not an olive branch, it's a zipline leading to the abyss. We have long determined the society's policy on this issue and will never participate in the dispute between the two societies.
To stand in line...for this kind of thing, as long as we stand in the meeting room of one of their societies, we have already made our position clear."
At this point, he paused hesitantly, and finally couldn't help but ask: "We have rejected them four or five times, why are they still inviting us?"
"Because after all, you are a publicly funded student with so many titles, so you have some influence in the college." Xiao Xiao briefly analyzed: "In addition, you severely injured Serprano a few days ago...
…This is a great incentive for many forces within the Divine Will. Anyway, if you invite me twice more, you won’t lose two pounds of meat. If you are invited, wouldn’t they make a lot of money?”
It sounds a bit weird, but it gives people a wonderful sense of pride.
"But we are in Jiuyou Academy, and we can't avoid having a fight with Alpha after all." Zhang Jixin took out his gloves again at some point, and was slowly pulling on the skin of the gloves, and lifted one of his fingers.
Put one in.
"Fighting for the academy and fighting for the divine will are two different concepts." Zheng Qing suppressed the weird thoughts in his heart, raised a finger and shook it: "We must distinguish the subtle differences."
"Very wise." Fatty Xin, who had been immersed in his homework, muttered without raising his head.
The red-faced wizard stuffed his ten fingers into his gloves, stretched out his palms, and said nonchalantly: "You are the captain, you have the final say."
"One last thing," Xiao Xiao put away his notebook and tilted his head slightly to another corner of the classroom: "What should he do about that matter? It feels like there is a lot of pressure inside and outside the academy... about this matter
, we definitely need to show our attitude."
The place where the doctor's head is tilted is the direction where Nicholas's seat is.
From the corner of Zheng Qing's eye, he could see Liu Feifei and Nicholas sitting in the corner together, whispering something. Both of them looked sad.
He couldn't help but sigh softly: "I don't know either. But I always feel that if Liu Feifei continues to protect Nicholas like this, those guys outside will definitely start to pour dirty water on her. By then, no one can run away.
"
His description is a little vague, but the central meaning is very clear.
As a publicly funded student and first-year chief student of Jiuyou Academy, if Liu Feifei becomes a new target of attack by Alpha or Beta Town Post, the impact of the Nicholas incident will definitely be further expanded.
When the time comes, everyone will be involved.
