Douluo: I am a biologist, awakening the weapon spirit?

Chapter 112: Ma Hongjun, the Master of Mocking

Flanders looked a little anxious. A stone that had been in the kitchen for many years suddenly disappeared. This made him think too much.

If the stone was taken by someone inside the academy, then things would be easier to handle. In this way, his students would have a chance to use it and continue to improve their martial spirits.

Flanders was afraid that someone from outside would sneak in without anyone noticing and steal the stone quietly, which would be a bit scary.

Shrek's defense depends entirely on him, the two deans, Zhao Wuji, and the teachers. If someone can come in and steal things without alerting them, it means that this person can also sneak in and kill people.

But now Shrek’s students are all treasures. Putting aside the geniuses in cultivation, the academic genius must not be allowed to get into trouble.

That's why Flanders reacted like this when he discovered something was missing.

Compared with people, the value of the stone itself is secondary.

The dean suddenly came in and asked a question, and Ma Hongjun was a little slow to react for a while.

Seeing this, Flanders explained:

"It's the big rock in the kitchen that emits fire. I don't know when it disappeared. You often use it to cook. When was the last time you saw it?"

Ma Hongjun came back to his senses at this time, shook the pink ring on his hand, and said:

"Don't worry, Dean. I've put the stone away."

Ever since he learned from Ning Rongrong that the stone he used to cook food was Fire Cloud Rock and learned about the value of Fire Cloud Rock, Ma Hongjun has been thinking about this matter.

So as soon as he came back, he collected the Fire Cloud Rock at night, and then went back to sleep with peace of mind.

Flanders was stunned when he saw the ring on Ma Hongjun's hand, "Where did you get the storage soul guide?"

"It was given by Rongrong." Ma Hongjun pointed at Ning Rongrong who was sitting across the table.

"So that's how it is." Flanders was visibly relieved. "Since you have a storage soul guide, you can keep it for yourself. Remember not to lose it."

"I know, Dean." Ma Hongjun responded nonchalantly.

But then he realized something was wrong, "Dean, do you know that the stone is Fire Cloud Rock?"

"correct."

"Then you also know the value of Fire Cloud Rock?"

"Of course I know." Flanders glanced at him. "What's the matter? You don't want to sell the stone?"

"No, no, no, of course I wouldn't have such an idea." Ma Hongjun shook his head repeatedly, "I'm just a little curious. Haven't you ever thought about selling the Fire Cloud Rock for money and then using it to maintain the academy?"

"Hongjun, what do you think the academy is used for?" Flanders asked indifferently.

"Uh...training students?" Ma Hongjun answered uncertainly.

"Yes, it's to train students." Flender nodded, confirming Ma Hongjun's statement, and then asked another question:
"Then do you think I would sell a treasure used to train students for money?"

Ma Hongjun was speechless.

Flanders knocked Ma Hongjun on the back of the head lightly and taught him a lesson:

"Silly boy, you can't even do the math. The money I earn is used to train students. How could I do such a stupid thing that puts the cart before the horse?"

Ma Hongjun scratched his head and dared not say anything.

Flanders walked out with his hands behind his back, and said leisurely:
"Besides, your martial spirit problem is not easy to eradicate. If you sell the Fire Cloud Rock, your life will be in danger sooner or later. So you better keep the Fire Cloud Rock safe for me. If you lose it, I will definitely find trouble with you."

"Don't worry, Dean, I promise to keep the Huoyun Rock safe." Ma Hongjun said, patting his chest.

After Flanders left, Oscar couldn't help but sigh:

"I always thought the dean was a vengeful, greedy, and stingy businessman. I never thought he had such a generous side."

Dai Mubai patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder and said:

"The dean is really good to you. He gave you something worth 200,000 gold soul coins. You can be considered a wealthy man now."

Ma Hongjun shook his head. "This thing can't be considered mine. I'm just keeping it for the dean. It should be the property of the academy."

Hearing this, Dai Mubai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Oh, Fatty, you're really good, the dean loves you well."

"Of course. I, Ma Hongjun, am the direct disciple of the dean. Naturally, I cannot be a person who is greedy for money." Ma Hongjun raised his head proudly.

"If you had said this before, I would have refuted it, but today I think you are right. The dean is indeed not a person who is greedy for money." Oscar nodded and said.

Ning Rongrong whispered to Chen Feng:

"Dad thinks very highly of Dean Flanders. I didn't quite understand it before, but now I kind of understand."

Chen Feng nodded and said, "The dean is a qualified educator and an idealist, otherwise he wouldn't have persisted in running Shrek Academy for so long."

In the comics, after Ma Hongjun was accidentally injured by Tang San's Eight Spider Lance, Flanders' first reaction was to use precious herbs to rescue him. This shows that in his heart, students are the most important, and things like money and property can only come second.

Later, when the master was training the Seven Monsters, he used up all the herbs that Flanders had collected over the years. Flanders just complained a few times, but he still had to spend the money, and even owed debts.

All these things show that Flanders's unscrupulous businessman is just an appearance, just a means for him to achieve his ideals, and he is not really a stingy miser.

Come to think of it, if Flanders was really just a stingy and profiteer as he appeared to be, how could he become the boss of the Golden Triangle?
Putting aside other things, can the master be convinced by him?
And Flanders' performance today also shows that he is indeed a good person. It is no wonder that he can become the leader of the Golden Triangle and recruit several masters to form Shrek Academy.

After talking about Dean Flanders for a while, everyone quickly returned to the topic of how to arrange the holiday.

Dai Mubai's suggestion of a fighting spirit arena was not recognized by everyone because they had just returned from the Star Dou Great Forest last night, and although their physical fatigue had recovered after a night's rest.

However, the psychological pressure brought by encountering the terrifying creature Titan Ape and searching in the woods at night has not dissipated yet, so everyone does not want to do their work for the time being and just wants to have a good rest.

Dai Mubai himself actually didn't want to go to the Soul Fighting Arena. He was also very tired of this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest. He mentioned the Soul Fighting Arena before just because the topic came up.

So everyone discussed it and decided to go to Soto City for three days to eat, drink and have fun.

Seeing that Chen Feng hadn't spoken, Ning Rongrong invited him, "Xiao Feng, why don't you come with us?"

Chen Feng looked at Tang San, and then they both looked at Xiao Wu and said:
"No, Xiao San, Xiao Wu and I have something to deal with."

Xiao Wu was a little confused when she heard this, "Huh? What's going on?"

Chen Feng showed a malicious smile on his face, "Regarding your bad habit of flashing and jumping into people's faces, Xiao San and I both think it needs to be corrected."

"How... do you want to correct this?" Xiao Wu suddenly had a bad feeling. "Break his legs just by flashing into his face once," Chen Feng said with a smile.

"What?" Xiao Wu slammed the table and stood up, "Say it again!"

"Why are you yelling so loudly?" Chen Feng scratched his ears. "It's your own bad habit, are you blaming me?"

Xiao Wu glared at him angrily, as if she wanted to bore a hole in him with her eyes.

Tang San pulled her, "Xiao Feng was just joking with you. What we discussed was to correct your bad habits through fighting."

"That's more like it." Xiao Wu hummed and sat down. "Actually, I've realized that my habits are bad. I will slowly correct them in the future. There's no need for you two to make such a big fuss."

Chen Feng knocked on the table and said:

"No, this habit must be corrected as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we encounter a powerful soul beast again one day, you will flash up and kill it for free. Then, will we have to rescue you again?"

Xiao Wu pouted, looking unhappy.

Although she was very unhappy, she could not find any reason to refute it.

Seeing this, Tang San had no choice but to comfort him in a low voice.

From a distance, Ma Hongjun looked at Chen Feng with a serious face, then looked at Tang San who was whispering consolations, and suddenly had a strange association in his mind.

He hooked his finger at Oscar who was sitting next to him. Oscar came over curiously. Ma Hongjun smiled softly and said:

"Xiao Ao, do you think Brother Feng and Xiao San are a bit like Xiao Wu's parents? One is a strict father and the other is a kind mother, hahaha..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Hongjun saw Oscar looking behind him with a strange expression. He turned around in confusion and found Xiao Wu rushing towards him with gritted teeth and punching him in the stomach.

"Fatty, are you looking for death?"

"Oh my god, can you hear it from this distance?" Ma Hongjun was beaten by Xiao Wu and ran away in panic.

Xiao Wu chased him and cursed:
"I have very sharp ears. You fat bastard, how dare you talk about me? I'll beat you to death!"

Dai Mubai asked Oscar curiously, "What did Fatty just say? How could he make Xiao Wu so angry?"

The others also looked at Oscar curiously.

Ma Hongjun shouted to Oscar while running away:
"Xiao Ao, please don't tell me!"

Oscar hesitated for only half a second before selling out Ma Hongjun completely.

"He said Brother Feng and Xiao San look like Xiao Wu's strict father and kind mother."

Tang San's face turned dark, and several blue silver grass appeared silently, wrapping Ma Hongjun tightly.

At the same time, two rays of colorful light penetrated into Xiao Wu's body, significantly increasing her strength and speed.

Ning Rongrong held up the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, looked at Ma Hongjun with a smile and said:
"Xiaopang, please don't make jokes like this again in the future."

"I don't dare anymore. I don't dare anymore. Ouch, don't hit me. I was wrong!" Ma Hongjun was entangled and unable to break free. It was not easy to set fire in the cafeteria, so he could only take the beating obediently.

"Oh, that's what happens when you speak." Oscar said with a look of pity.

"Oscar, you are such a disloyal man! You actually betrayed me!" Ma Hongjun denounced the traitor while being beaten.

"How can this be called betrayal? This should be called execution of justice, killing one's own relatives for the greater good." Oscar said confidently.

"Well said." Zhu Zhuqing gave him a thumbs up, "That's the way to do it."

Xiao Wu returned to her seat only after she had let out a deep breath of anger.

Ma Hongjun was also released by Tang San. Although he was beaten by Xiao Wu, he did not suffer any injuries because Xiao Wu was careful with her attack. He just felt pain all over his body.

He returned to his seat and punched Oscar in angrily, as a way of teaching the traitor a lesson. Oscar just smiled and didn't care.

Ning Rongrong had already put away the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda and said to Chen Feng:

"Xiao Feng, I don't think we should rush to correct Xiao Wu's bad habits. Besides, Teacher Zhao has mentioned this before, and he should have the same idea. Why don't we just have a good time and relax for two days first?"

"Yes, yes, let's play for two days first. There's no need to be so anxious, right, Xiao San?" Xiao Wu agreed, and used Tang San as a shield.

"That's true... it's not impossible." Tang San didn't want to spoil everyone's fun, so he agreed.

Chen Feng had no objection and nodded in agreement.

In this way, everyone reached a consensus and set off to Soto City, starting a happy holiday of eating, drinking and having fun.

At first, the group acted together, but Chen Feng soon realized that no matter which world a woman is from, once she enters the shopping mode, her physical energy is almost endless.

Sometimes they try on two pieces of clothing in one store, and sometimes they go to another store to pick out two skirts. Chen Feng doesn't know where they get so much energy from.

For him, shopping is a very simple matter. He just walks into the store, picks up the desired goods, pays and leaves.

He felt that going from one store to the next was a sheer waste of time and energy.

Several boys were soon exhausted by the girls' shopping style, so they decided to just run away and find a place to play by themselves.

After separating from the girls, the boys immediately felt relaxed and comfortable. They walked leisurely on the street, buying some snacks recommended by Ma Hongjun from time to time. They felt much more comfortable than before.

After a while, Chen Feng's eyes fell on a building on the right.

This is a very gorgeously decorated building with an overall pink hue. There are two beautiful young ladies in cool clothes soliciting customers at the door. You can tell what they do for a living at a glance.

Seeing Chen Feng staring at this place, Dai Mubai said with a smile:

"Why, you want to go in and take a look?"

"We can't get in at our age, right?" Chen Feng said.

Dai Mubai laughed and said:
"Why can't you get in? No one cares how old you are."

Chen Feng was stunned for a moment and suggested:
"How about we go in and observe, oh no, criticize it?"

Due to both subjective and objective reasons, he had never been to such a place in his previous life, so he was curious about what was going on inside and wanted to go in and take a look.

This is entirely out of a scholar's thirst for knowledge and has no other meaning.
