Artifact Smuggling Specialist

Chapter 52 The Strongest Mentor

Zuo Lan finally understood the purpose of Xue Chongshi's coming to the Ninth Soul Academy. He looked at the schedule in his hand and the jade slips on the table, and began to reflect on himself, how could he make someone look pink What do children do so much?

Zuo Lan is a tutor, and he has very little time to leave the Soul Academy, but Xue Chongshi hardly needs to take classes. Zuo Lan secretly guessed that the entire Water Academy might not be able to find a tutor who can teach Xue Chongshi such an awesome person student.

Xue Zhongshi, on the first day he came to the Ninth Soul Academy, he was directly named a "cute god" by countless elder sisters, aunts, and sisters of the Soul Academy. He even set up a fan club for him immediately after inquiring about his academy. Seeing that Zuo Lan was in a daze for a while, he didn't know what these people were thinking.

Zuo Lan, the most unreliable mentor of the Ninth Soul Academy, brought a most unreliable student Xue Chongshi, and made a strong comeback—this is the most talked about topic among most people in the Ninth Soul Academy recently after dinner.

Xue Chongshi didn't deliberately conceal his identity, and he and Chongyu, the original first-time genius of the Water Academy, didn't see eye to eye with each other. They had targeted each other several times, and even fought against each other when the instructor was in class. , although it was interrupted by the instructor halfway and the winner was not determined, it was also spread throughout the Ninth Soul Academy, and Xue Chongshi's identity was naturally known by everyone.

Born Xue Liu, the throne, but a traitor.

Zuo Lan believed that the Throne Xue Liu must have someone in the Ninth Soul Academy, but up until now, the Throne Xue Liu hadn't taken any action. Zuo Lan didn't know what these people were thinking. Anyway, the Throne Xue Liu was also very famous recently. The incident of the mysterious disappearance of the team, and now the incident of Xue Chongshi's betrayal of the throne family has also been rumored, and it is not known what will be faced next.

Zuo Lan hummed a song, collected all the jade slips on the table, and put them all into his ring. It was his turn to attend class in the afternoon. He had been back to the Ninth Soul Academy for a week, and now it was his turn. In short, all kinds of troublesome things are still the same as before. After returning from the secret realm and then coming to such a stable environment in the Ninth Soul Academy, the whole person feels a little different about the world.

Rare peace, but lurking danger.

Zuo Lan felt that he used to be a person who was content with pleasure, but now he has a sense of crisis. Even if there is no danger now, he is still calculating for his future path, step by step.

Just as he was packing up his things and was about to leave the room, he felt someone pushing the door in. He raised his head and saw Xue Chongshi.

"came back?"

Xue Chongshi nodded: "The matter over there is settled."

Zuo Lan then stopped again, and there were still two quarters of an hour before class, but Zuo Lan was not in a hurry at all, Xue Lan would make things difficult for him, even if he was late for class, it might not be much worse than it is now, anyway, he He is the most unreliable mentor in the entire Ninth Soul Academy, and it doesn't matter if he is a little less reliable, so he sat down again, and poured a glass of water for Xue Chongshi by the way: "It's solved? Is it so easy?"

Xue Chongshi also sat down, expressionlessly said: "It's pretty easy."

"What method did you use to threaten others?" Zuo Lan absolutely did not believe that an invisible bandit like Xue Chongshi could have a good talk with the people in the Artifact Refiner's Guild. Besides, the people in the Artifact Refiner's Guild were not so easy to get along with. , In negotiating this kind of thing, the ultimate reliance is strength.

Xue Chong explained that this time, according to Zuo Lan's plan, he approached the Artifact Refiner's Guild, a subsidiary of the Soul Art Guild, to talk about hidden cooperation issues. According to reliable information, the Artifact Refiner's Guild said that it would not sell things privately. In fact, they have been doing business with others in private, but the so-called "others" are naturally not that simple. They are generally relatively large forces, such as the three major black markets in the Soul Continent.

Zuo Lan asked Xue Chongshi to negotiate as the leader of the Lanhui. Now that Xue Chongshi came back and told him that everything was going well, Zuo Lan would never believe it.Because Zuo Lan knew exactly what the Artifact Refiner's Guild was like.

Besides, Lincang is the honorary president of the Artifact Refiner's Guild.

Xue Zhongshi took a sip of tea and said slowly, "It's just a few people who died."

Zuo Lan gasped, seeing the calm Xue Chongshi, suddenly felt that he had picked the wrong person, how could this person become his collaborator?Nima's dead a few people! ! !How on earth did you negotiate this business and cooperate with others? !

At this time, after Xue Chongshi said these words, the tense nerve in Zuo Lan's brain finally snapped, and he grabbed Xue Chongshi's collar and shook it vigorously: "Damn you, what did you just say? How many people died? How did you talk about business? Are you talking about business and cooperation, not killing people?!! Xue Zhongshi, you—"

Xue Zhongshi put down the teacup calmly, and then pressed the cold palm on Zuo Lan's palm, and Zuo Lan stopped all his movements at once. It made him shudder all of a sudden, Zuo Lan suddenly realized what he had just done, uh... that...

"Ahem, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I was too excited, you drink water, drink water..."

Zuo Lan let go of his hand, and then smoothed the neckline he had just scratched and wrinkled for Xue Zhongshi without leaving any wrinkles. It's time, if Xue Chongshi ran away suddenly, where would he find such a big benefactor?

"However, for things like cooperation, even if we don't agree with the aura of the Artifact Refiner's Guild, we won't cause trouble to the point of killing people, right?"

"The one who died was the one who died in the imperial seat." Xue Chongshi actually didn't mind Zuo Lan's actions just now. To be precise, he was used to it, and he had convulsions from time to time. This is Zuo Lan.

"Yizan Yansan? On behalf of Lan, you will discuss with the Craftsman Guild. What does it have to do with Yansan?" When talking about Yansan, Zuo Lan thought of Yan Shen, the president of the Ninth Soul Academy, and frowned.

"There was a dispute between them and the Artifact Refiner's Guild. It was none of my business. I was just watching from the sidelines. However, some of them seemed to recognize me and made rude remarks, so I took care of it." To put it lightly ...

The corners of Zuo Lan's mouth twitched wildly, buddy, are you sure you mean "handy cooking" and not deliberately wanting to retaliate?It's not because other people speak badly to you, so you want to show off others, and tell the world by the way—don't mess with you?

Zuo Lan really didn't want to say anything about Xue Chongshi's brain circuit.

"Then after you killed someone, what happened to the cooperation between the Lanhui and the Artifact Refiner's Guild?" It's better to ask the business.

"Originally, the Artifact Refiner's Guild wanted to sell a batch of Horcruxes to Yuzuo Yansan, but they were all dead, so the batch of Horcruxes was transferred to us directly."

"..."

……

Zuo Lan looked at Xue Chongshi as if he was looking at a monster: "It's so simple that you made a deal?"

"En." Xue Chongshi nodded lightly.

Zuo Lan really wanted to kneel down to him, and didn't want to say any more. "The deposit has already been placed? The contract is signed? What about the goods?"

"One-third of the soul crystal has been given. The contract is here. This is the order situation. There are 23 Horcruxes in it, ranging from high-level character to mid-level land, totaling 530 million. But they said that they hope to see Dailan will be truly responsible for delivering the goods."

Xue Chongshi took out a jade slip and handed it to Zuo Lan.

Zuo Lan took it, checked it, and scolded his mother immediately: "Fuck, this Artifact Refiner's Guild is too cheating, isn't it? What do you want? A handful of high-level Horcruxes are sold for 13 yuan, are you robbing people?" This is?! You actually bought it, are you crazy?!"

Xue Chongshi didn't know anything about the price, he just said: "The person from the imperial seat said that he bought it at this price. It is said that this is the market price."

Price... Price, your whole family!

Xue Chongshi didn't even know that this idiot was being ripped off! ! !

How should others view his Lan Hui? !The person in charge doesn't even know the price of the horcrux, is this trying to kill him? !The whole Lanhui will be underestimated as an old man, okay? !

"It is said that this is the market price... May I ask you where it is said to have come from?" Zuo Lan had a sullen face, and then raised the corners of his lips, showing a smile that seduces children.

Xue Chongshi didn't know why he always felt that his back was fuzzy. Looking at Zuo Lan's expression and listening to his words, it seemed that something went wrong, but Xue Chongshi really didn't know what he did wrong, so he said: "The craftsman People in the guild said."

Zuo Lan: ...

If the gods can hear my prayer, I want to say a word to the gods: I don't want this pig teammate!

It's really not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs!

Zuo Lan looked at Xue Chongshi quietly: "No one told you, don't believe the words of the merchant? He told you that it was the market price, and you bought it. If he told you the soul of a middle-level character The device is worth 3000 million yuan, do you want to buy it or not?"

Xue Chong explained: ...

There is no way, I have been practicing since I was a child, and I have never known these things. It is the first time I go out to talk about business and I should be cheated.

Zuo Lan comforted himself like this, the things recorded in the jade slips are still good, and Xue Chongshi has only paid a deposit so far, and the rest of the money has not yet been paid. Didn’t they say that they will only be willing to see the master behind the Lanhui? cooperation?Zuo Lan looked at the situation, if there is no ghost on the side of the Artifact Master Guild, it doesn't matter if he goes.Business matters, the involvement will not be great.

But he probably knows why Xue Chongshi has so much money, but he still wants to cooperate with him, because if Xue Chongshi is allowed to manage the money, he can only sit and eat his life, Zuo Lan suddenly feels the burden on his shoulders Very heavy, how many burdens of life he has provoked by himself.

Zuo Lan sighed sadly, and patted Xue Chongshi's shoulder: "Baby, I know you are suffering, it's okay, it's just this time that you were cheated, next time you go to negotiate with me, remember to tell you what you were told at the beginning. The guy who set the price pointed it out to me, and I will help you get justice. What about you, now think about what you should do next time, I am optimistic about you!"

After finishing speaking, Zuo Lan waved his sleeves and left, hands behind his back, incomparably leisurely.

Although the financial situation of the entire Lanhui is still in a state of making ends meet, the situation has begun to slowly improve. Since the last auction to gain fame, the team formation of the Lanhui has begun to speed up.

Xue Chongshi is Zuo Lan's collaborator, and Lanhui's income is shared. Zuo Lan himself takes the majority, taking [-]%, Xue Chongshi, who only provides funds and occasional help, gets [-]%, and the remaining [-]% is given to From the left family.

The main members of the Lanhui are the stelekeepers of the Zuo family, followed by those selected by Zuo Qiu, and then recruited some peripheral people one after another. Squat outside the Shushu Guild to recruit talents who have not been recruited by other forces.

The Soul Art Guild is the place with the most intensive flow of soul cultivation in the entire continent. There are always various affairs on the entire continent. Some people cannot complete them due to various reasons, so there is employment. People always ask for help In the Soul Art Guild, but it has nothing to do with it and can't get help at all.

Zuo Lan has already drawn up a frenzied plan for Lanhui. Since there is no mature information exchange network in Soul Continent, he will complete it.

For things that people can't finish, they will deliver the relevant information of this matter to Lan Hui, and pay the reward they are willing to give, and then Lan Hui will evaluate the grade and release it uniformly-in fact, this is what Zuo Lan knows in the novel. There are some methods, and they are very scientific, but it seems that no one here has used them, so he just took them for a while.

However, the establishment of this kind of platform generally requires great prestige. If they fail to succeed once, the Soul Art Guild will definitely not give up this opportunity. It is not Zuo Lan who is narcissistic. This method will definitely be favored by others, after all, it is his place. Most people in the world think and have practiced it.

They need money, people, and authority, but how can authority be established?This is another thorny issue, and we can only take one step at a time.

Zuo Lan pressed his forehead, came to the north building of the central teaching area, took a deep breath, pushed open the door of the big classroom, and put on a black tutor suit, which was loose and loose, holding a thick book of continental history in his hand. Zuo Lan's face, clear eyes, and a faint smile on his lips, just looking at Zuo Lan's appearance, would definitely not connect him with such a crazy class.

There was a huge silence in the whole classroom, because Zuo Lan disappeared for too long, and now he came out to class suddenly, most of the people came here because of the name, and wanted to know what was going on, but those who had attended Zuo Lan's class originally People feel that Zuo Lan has changed a bit.

After all, he is a person who has experienced life and death, and his behavior has a calmness that he didn't have before. Everyone looked at Zuo Lan, and all Zuo Lan's thoughts about the next life flew away at this moment, because at this moment , he only had this lesson in his mind.

All the hustle and bustle broke out when he stood on the podium directly in front of him.

"Ah ah ah..."

"Teacher Zuo Lan, he looks handsome again after half a semester!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo eventually!"

"The cinnabar mole on my heart!"

"Where's the recorded jade slip? Come on, vote for the ghost communication platform later, he's a celebrity."

"What recording, you want to record it together!"

"Shit, who took my place?"

……

Zuo Lan put the thick book on the low table in front of him, then saw a ruler beside him, picked it up and tried it out, and saw that there were too many people in the classroom, many of them could only sit on the floor, suddenly Some speechless.

He tapped the table with a ruler, raised his hands, and then pressed slightly, "Okay, everyone be quiet, those who can't find a seat can sit on the ground, or stand behind, try not to block other people's sight."

The whole classroom fell silent at once. At this moment, Zuo Lan was no longer the original Zuo Lan. There was a faint pressure in his eyes, and the blood from his hands.

Seeing that those who should sit down sat down, and those who should stand up stood up, Zuo Lan just patted, and a light curtain appeared in midair.There are several large characters in seal script: Continental History.

"First of all, I would like to apologize to all the students who like me. Due to personal affairs, I have been absent from class for about half a semester. The original teaching plan will definitely not be completed this semester. Then the grades of students who need credits for my subject How to do it?"

Zuo Lan deliberately played tricks, saw that the people below were all focused, so he tapped the solid light curtain with a ruler, injected a soul power, and the content on the light curtain suddenly changed.

"First, teaching progress. There are three classes left in this semester. What we are going to talk about is: "From the Age of Gods to the Age of Soul Sages to the Age of Soul Emperors", "Stories that Soul Emperors and Soul Emperors Have to Tell", "Gods Go where"."

Everyone immediately realized that there was something wrong with this class. These titles were too serious and did not conform to Zuo Lan's style. Shouldn't it be a very aggressive and unlimited subject? !

Zuo Lan raised the corners of his lips. He had already guessed the reaction of the people below, but he was not in a hurry.

Those people thought about these titles carefully, and suddenly understood something, especially "The Stories the Soul Emperor and the Soul Emperor Have to Tell" was full of love, so everyone's eyes lit up immediately, Although not everyone is a member of the Datong Association, everyone has a feeling of awe towards the strong, but there is also a desire to spy, thinking of being above such an authority, this is what everyone has desire, and Zuo Lan gave them a chance to satisfy their desire.

"Second, the final test. As I said earlier, those who can complete the thesis topic I gave can directly give credits without taking classes. The Soul Academy also gave a special permission, but—this semester is too short, so I changed it. A short dissertation. The title is—The Relation Between Desire and Historical Necessity."

Too...too...too cold...

What is the title of this thesis?All the people who were going to get the credits from Zuo Lan were stunned and couldn't react. Is Zuo Lan trying to cheat his father?

Two tentacles grew out of Dabai's head, they came out and landed on Zuo Lan's shoulders, looking at the scene in front of him curiously, the two tentacles on his head swung slowly from side to side, which always made Zuo Lan feel very dumbfounded.

He felt that Dabai's state seemed to have evolved, and secretly guessed whether he would have hands and feet in the future, but he was still in class, so he obviously couldn't think deeply about this problem. He looked at the expressions on the audience that seemed to be frightened by him, Evoked a kind and pure smile.

"Be serious with me, and you will lose."

So the audience suddenly realized that this was probably just a joke.

Then they heard Zuo Lan say: "The real topic of the thesis is—the relationship between desire and historical necessity."

Audience: ...

what?

Does it make a difference?

Maybe they got it wrong?

So a group of students who had just recorded the sound immediately called up the two recordings for comparison before and after, and there was no difference!no difference!exactly the same!Nima's tone of voice is the same! ! !It felt like Zuo Lan had re-read what he said just now! ! !

After comparing many times, someone finally gave up the treatment and cursed out: "Fuck, isn't this cheating?"

Zuo Lan had good ears, and he heard it right away, so he tapped the ruler on the man, hey, he seems to be from the Spiritual Academy, wearing white clothes, with a snake on the neckline, "Stand up, yes, it's you, don't look around blindly. Um, what's your name?"

"Jiang Zhongzhen." The man was a bit nervous, and he knew it was bad just after he scolded him, and now he can only blame himself for being pointed out.

Zuo Lan was overwhelmed by the name, and asked again: "Jiang Zhongzheng?!"

"No, it's Jiang Zhongzhen!" A big boy was embarrassed by Zuo Lan's eyes, because Zuo Lan looked at him, and the eyes clearly contained the message "You are an idiot".

"Jiang Zhongzhen... huh..." Zuo Lan couldn't help but like this name, who named this unlucky child?

Jiang Zhongzhen vomited blood and died, the audience was already laughing.

Jiang Zhongzhen himself rolled his eyes, almost foaming at the mouth.

Then amidst the chaos, Zuo Lan pointed his ruler aggressively: "I like your name, and I will give you full credits!"

!!!

……

???

The audience's jaws dropped, and suddenly it was as quiet as a morgue.

If... all of them hadn't hallucinated at the same time just now, tutor Zuo Lan just said that he would give Jiang Zhongzhen full credits?Are you kidding? I didn't write a paper!

Jiang Zhongzhen was short of these few credits this semester. When Zuo Lan said this, he was suddenly moved to tears. Tutor Zuo Lan is really a good person, a good person!Woohoo, the top ten people who moved the Soul Academy must be Mentor Zuo Lan!

"Thank you... Thank you Teacher Zuo Lan, you are such a good person—"

Zuo Lan waved his hand modestly, his face full of indifference, but Dabai on his shoulder shook the two tentacles on his head, grinned, showing a mouthful of big white teeth, and smiled brightly.

"Thank you, Jiang Zhongzhen, for your compliment. Remember to hand over your thesis to me at the end of the semester."

ha?

Big turning point?God unfolds!

Jiang Zhongzhen was stunned by Zuo Lan: "This... this... Didn't you say that you will give me full credits?"

Zuo Lan nodded: "Yes, I will give you full credits if your thesis is well written. It is absolutely unambiguous. Now I am giving you full credits. If you write poorly, I will deduct it. Until the deduction is over, no It will become a negative number, and the operation is very convenient.”

Bitch... this bitch! ! !

Everyone was envious and jealous of Jiang Zhongzhen's luck one moment, but the next moment they are avoiding snakes, scorpions and beasts!God, this baby is too miserable!Instructor Zuo Lan really took special care of him.

But... Nima's words can be taken back like this, it's really... cheating, okay? !

Zuo Lan spread his hands, then took them back and patted his own palms, and said leisurely: "I told you earlier, if you are serious with me, you will lose."

Countless people want to slap Zuo Lan in the face, and if you fuck off, you will lose no matter what, okay? !

Dabai cheerfully jumped into the air, landed on the podium, and started his own way of showing off his cuteness. He will work harder to become the mascot of the entire Ninth Soul Institute.

It's a pity that now is not the time for this guy to show off. The attention of the girls behind has been completely attracted by Dabai. Zuo Lan ruthlessly slapped Dabai's eyes into mosquito coils, and then fell to the ground with a smile , watching Dabai being thrown back into the Yuqing Baji space with his teeth bared, he suddenly felt in a good mood, and looked back, ah, why did his jaw drop so far?

Gee.

"Okay, let's start the class, and the thesis will be written starting from the three classes I taught."

Zuo Lan suddenly pulled out a cold smile, God knows what kind of shock the entire Soul Continent will have after his three lectures are finished.
