Volume 1: Frost Star City Chapter 147: Cleaning Up and Hai Wu's Scheme

  "Clear the scene!?" Hai was taken aback for a moment, if he understood correctly, clearing the scene meant getting rid of all the problems that had accumulated over the years in one go! Wasn't this too crazy?!

  The foundry suddenly became lively, and Hai Wu's colleagues were all shouting to go to the trading center to take a look. Hai Wu shook his head and followed the crowd out.

  Arriving at the trading center, it was already packed with people. Su Dong's record of obtaining 10,000 White Spirit Crystals in just four hours had piqued almost everyone's curiosity, and they all wanted to take a look. The crowd surrounded him, three layers deep inside and out, trapping Su Dong in a corner.

  Su Dong had already entered a state of extreme excitement, his eyes slightly red, his hair disheveled, as he leaned on the table and wrote furiously.

  When encountering more difficult problems, Su Dong would also think about them, but the thinking time was not long, at most only one or two minutes.

  In fact, as the work deepens, Su Dong's problem-solving speed is accelerating, and the things he has learned are constantly appearing in his memory, just like they were printed on.

  "Fifteen thousand White Spirit Crystals!" someone shouted loudly.

  The trading center has posted the current progress of Su Dong's problem-solving, fearing that others will not know that Su Dong is clearing the field here. This is likely also to encourage others to come to the trading center to solve problems, after all, the trading center draws a commission, and the higher the transaction volume, the higher the center's income.

  There were actually Huā Yìng Yuè and Qín Yīn among the crowd. Coincidentally, since learning that Sū Dōng had gone to ask about the Tao, Huā Yìng Yuè had started having insomnia, and as time went on, she missed him even more. Every day, in front of Huā Lǎo Hēi, she would talk about Sū Dōng's affairs and was accustomed to silly smiling.

  Hua Laohei was at a loss, so he found Shuidaozi and stuffed Hua Yingyue into the cave. As soon as Hua Yingyue arrived here, she bumped into Qinyin. This girl had some purpose in coming here, but Hua Yingyue wasn't clear what it was, and it shouldn't be for Su Dong, because Qinyin usually didn't say anything bad about Su Dong.

  According to Qin Yin, she had been asking about Dao for a week and hadn't seen Su Dong. So the two girls came together to look for him, and after inquiring, they found out that Su Dong was clearing up at the trading center, so they came here.

  Huā yìng yuè still wears glasses, but they are no longer the heavy black frames of a bookworm. Instead, she has switched to a more feminine gold-rimmed pair, and even her clothes are brighter than before. If you said she wasn't dressed up, nobody would believe it.

  Unfortunately, Huaying Yue and Qinyue stood behind Su Dong for a long time. Su Dong didn't even turn his head to look at them, completely immersed in the fun of solving problems. Qinyue couldn't help but mutter to herself again, speaking ill of Su Dong.

  "Su Dong looks quite handsome like this." Hua Yingyue's face turned red, her eyes shining brightly.

  "What's so handsome?" Huā Yìng Yuè said with a bad tone: "It's like he's gone crazy, it's been over an hour and he hasn't even looked up once."

  "It's precisely because of focus that he's handsome." Huayingyue said disapprovingly.

  Qin Yin raised Hua Ying Yue's chin with both hands, furrowed her brow and said: "Girl, you shouldn't have taken a liking to him, what's good about this kid?"

  "Don't talk nonsense." Huayingyue hastily blocked Qin Yin's hand and covered it up.

  At this time, Su Dong, who had been writing quickly, finally spoke up.

  "Water. Food."

  "Alright, I'll be right there!" Liu Kang replied hastily, looking startled.

  As the administrator of this district, Liu Kang can get a commission from Su Dong, and he must serve Su Dong like a big brother.

  Soon, Liu Kang squeezed out of the crowd and prepared tea for Su Dong. There was cool boiled water, green tea, some small pastries, several hot dishes, a few hot steamed buns, and soup. Because he didn't know what Su Dong wanted to eat, Liu Kang had prepared many varieties.

  Su Dong didn't even lift his head, grabbed a bun and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowing it in two bites. Then he picked up the water cup, glug glug, gulped down a bellyful of cold boiled water.

  "Alright, take it away." Su Dong said in a low voice.

  The crowd around let out a sigh of amazement, in just a few seconds, this eating efficiency is really high, looking at Su Dong's state, it's simply infatuated.

  "No wonder he can trigger Chaos Fury, look at Su Dong's style, it's like he has a death wish."

  "Hey, there's no such thing as effortless success in this world. Who knows how much hard work and effort others have put in behind the scenes?"

  "Yes, no comparison can be made, we didn't even know where to drink when Su Dong was studying."

  The flattering words in the crowd made Huayingyue very happy, but Qinyun looked at Su Dong with a look of disdain and muttered: "Originally quite elegant, eating like a savage! Indeed, all this is fake."

  The person next to him didn't recognize Qinsai, and retorted: "How can you say that, Su Dong designed the Chaos Fury, it's an unprecedentedly powerful spiritual crossbow, unfortunately it's only for rent and not for sale, otherwise I would have bought one back too."

  Qin Yue gave him a white eye, and didn't know what kind of eye medicine Su Dong had given these people, they all spoke highly of Su Dong.

  Apart from Qin Yin and Hua Yingyue, there were two elderly men on the second floor in the distance, who were Gong Zibai of the Dan Medicine Department and Old Niu of the Spiritual Martial Department.

  Gong Zibai smiled and said, "This is great, Su Dong has finally made a name for himself. In the past, that chaotic anger was only noticed by the students of the Lingwu Sect, but now he has caught the attention of the entire academy."

  Gong Zibai looked at Lao Niu and said: "If Director Huitou finds out that you started this, you'll be in big trouble."

  The old cow said helplessly: "What does it have to do with me?"

  Gong Zibai smiled and said, "Of course it's related. If you hadn't told him the secret of the training center, would Su Dong be so desperate? Zuofang is a descendant of Zuojin Xian, their family's inheritance requires extremely high spiritual purity, Su Dong must have discovered Zuofang's secret, so he's desperately making money to bring out Zuofang's highest combat power. Pitiful, the two of them were actually thrown into the sheep-herding class."

  The old cow snorted and said, "Even if it's because of me, what can you do? Who made the Water Institute Director insist on suppressing these two strongest seedlings in this period, and didn't want to let them go to me, humph."

  Gong Zibai smiled happily, Lao Niu had a stubborn temper, it seemed that he was competing with Shuidaozi, or perhaps it was because he loved to be anxious, so he encouraged Su Dong and Zuofang to participate in the annual martial arts competition.

  He pulled the old cow with his hand. Gong Zibai said, "Director Shuiyuan has arrived, let's go, anyway you've already stirred up the fire in Su Dong and Zuofang's hearts, these two kids won't give up easily."

  The old cow is also a little afraid to come into contact with Shuǐdàozi, this man is too straightforward, occasionally doing something wrong makes him feel uneasy all over, and he says: "I'm taking the risk of ruining my reputation to tell them these things, if they dare to put down me, Old Cow, I won't agree first."

  Gong Zibai and Lao Niu walked out, just in time to see Hai Wèi and Zhu Zao's teacher and student. At the same time, the college's pillar, the three people who were very familiar with each other greeted each other.

  Gong Zibai sighed and said, "What a pity! Su Donghui is good at casting, but was assigned to the Resource Department. It's truly a great loss for the Casting Department."

  "The sea shook his head and said, 'It can't be said that way, the casting master creates spiritual weapons and armor, all of which are highly lethal. If one's heart is too poisonous, they won't be able to enter the casting department either.'"

  The sea is not for obvious words, meaning that Su Dong's level is very high, but he has problems with his temperament and it's better if he doesn't enter the casting system.

  Lao Niu slightly furrowed his brow and left the trading center with Gong Zibai. He said somewhat discontentedly, "Why do Hai Ye and Shui Yuanzhang have the same idea? They both think Su Dong is unreliable."

  Hai Ye was nicknamed "Hai Wu Wei" by everyone in the college.

  "Who knows what's going on here? Those who like Su Dong think he's a good candidate, while those who don't like him hate him to death. This is indeed very strange."

  Shaking his head, Gong Zibai and Lao Niu left the trading center.

  ……

  Gong Zibai's words hit the nail on the head. Su Dong's personality is extreme, so people's opinions about him are also extreme. Gong Zibai and Lao Niu really like Su Dong. Although Lao Niu doesn't say it out loud, he thinks so in his heart. On the other hand, Hai Weifeng, Shuidaozi, and others detest Su Dong.

  In the trading center, Shuǐ Dàozi was frowning as he gazed at Sū Dōng in the corner through a window. Next to him, Shuǐ Jìng's emotions were complex. Supposedly, his father disliked Sū Dōng, and Shuǐ Jìng should have followed suit, but instead, he found himself discovering that Sū Dōng was just strong-willed, not so unbearable after all.

  "Hmph! So it's a casting master, looks like I underestimated Su Dong after all. Who knows where he learned this trick?" Shuijing said with some annoyance.

  Shuijing was amazed at Su Dong's vast knowledge and talents, but unfortunately, she couldn't express it in front of her father.

  It was already late at night, and Su Dong had been sitting there for twelve hours, without even moving his nest. The unsolved problems beside him were slowly decreasing, and at this rate, before dawn broke, Su Dong would be able to complete the magnificent feat of clearing the scene!

  It's worth noting that this is a problem that has been accumulating in the college for many years. The easy ones have all been solved, and only the difficult ones are left until today.

  If Su Dong can solve all these years' accumulated problems in one breath, it would be a miracle!

  "This won't do, this kid is going to make a big show." Shuǐ Dàozi said with narrowed eyes.

  Shuijing Road: "Then what should we do? Su Dong is indeed capable and didn't rely on others to help him."

  "Even if he has skills, what's the use? He's still a descendant of the gods. Among the 148 war gods in the divine realm, which one doesn't have blood on their hands? If only he weren't a descendant of the gods, I'd be happy to see some geniuses emerge from the Wudang Sect. Unfortunately, his identity forces me to deal with him."

  Things are a bit strange, Shuǐ Dàozi dislikes Sū Dōng, and it's actually because of Sū Dōng's background!

  Do you know how big a name Fengshen Su Qun is? Ordinary people can't even flatter him, and I don't know what deep hatred Waterway Child has with the Shentong tribe. It's just that no matter how he looks at Su Dong, it's not pleasing to his eyes.

  "In short, Su Dong must not be allowed to clean up the scene. Go find Hai Wuwei and have him come up with a few unsolvable clues to send over." Shui Daozi said in a low voice.

  Shuijing was taken aback, his face looking unpleasant as he said, "Isn't this going too far? It's too sinister."

  "Can there be many gods who are sinister? Do as I say."

  Shuijing nodded slightly and left the room, finding Hai Wuwei in the crowd. Hai Wuwei also furrowed his brow upon hearing this, as it was indeed too underhanded. Although he didn't like Su Dong's treacherous Spirit Soldiers, he didn't want to see Su Dong being schemed against either.

  "Since it's the Dean's intention, I... will follow through then." Mizuho said hesitantly after a while.

  Soon, several latest questions were placed on top, Shuijing and Hai were both secretly feeling a little guilty for doing such an unscrupulous thing.

  Snap!

  Su Dong suddenly grasped the unsolvable problem in his hand, looked at it, and seemed to be about to write something.

  The sea is not surprised! Almost didn't shout out on the spot! This is a very difficult problem! If Su Dong can solve this kind of question, it means he absolutely has the strength of a fifth-level casting master!

  In an instant, the sea of people's hearts all came to a standstill, waiting for Su Dong to pick up his pen and provide an answer.

  But Su Dong's goose-quill brush hovered in mid-air, unmoving.

  "This kind of difficult problem is only worth twenty spirit crystals! It's simply a mental illness! Does he think I'm an idiot?" Su Dong muttered to himself, and then with a single hand, he directly threw away the useless question.

  Pfft!

  The sea was not held back by a single breath and almost vomited blood on the spot by Su Dong!
