Chapter 34: The Battle for Cheng Han

Qiu Yuan glanced at the aggressive vice principal and then glanced at the Wuteng Jiao behind him, instantly understanding everything.

This is bad!

This guy really intends to snatch it halfway!

Qiu Yuan forced a smile and nodded, "Principal Dongting."

Although Qiu Yuan appeared to be smiling on the surface, his tone carried a hint of gritted teeth, indicating that he was probably cursing in his heart.

Yan Dongting, as expected of a retired soldier from the Black Armor Army, spoke straightforwardly, "I heard that Class 3-2 has a genius, so I came specially to take a look."

Although Qiu Yuan had anticipated it, when he heard the word "genius," his heart still skipped a beat.

Yan Dongting then looked at Cheng Han with extreme friendliness, "You must be Cheng Han, indeed a talented individual. No wonder you can form a seal so quickly!"

The corner of Cheng Han's mouth twitched, and he replied, "You overpraise me."

The features of this body can only be barely considered delicate, far from being a "talented individual."

Moreover, is being handsome directly related to forming a seal?

What a peculiar way of thinking!

Yan Dongting's next words were extremely domineering, "The main reason I came here this time is to talk to Cheng Han about signing the 'preparatory book.'"

Qiu Yuan could hardly believe his ears.

He couldn't even be bothered to come up with an excuse, and now he plans to openly snatch someone?

Vice Principal, can you be even more shameless?

However.

Yan Dongting proved that he could!

The vice principal looked at Qiu Yuan again and said with a smile, "Teacher Qiu, please leave for a moment. I want to have a private conversation with Cheng Han."

Qiu Yuan's anger surged up instantly.

Damn it!

He actually wants to drive me away on my own turf, that's too much!

In his anger, Qiu Yuan no longer cared about the vice principal's identity and bluntly said, "You should know that I am an inspector from the Fourth Battle Group of the Black Armor Army. According to the rules..."

Yan Dongting's tone was extremely aggressive, "What rules? It's just an understanding between the five major battle groups."

"But understandings can be broken! Every battle group wants to sign truly outstanding talents. Whoever has the ability to snatch them will get them."

"I'll tell you the truth, no matter what means I have to use today, I will represent the Second Battle Group and sign Cheng Han."

The vice principal added intentionally or unintentionally, "Any means, including using force."

The so-called "using force" obviously refers to violence.

To put it more bluntly, it means throwing you out of the meditation room and asking if you're afraid.

Cheng Han felt quite emotional.

Indeed, with strong power, one can do whatever they want.

Faced with such unreasonable behavior, Qiu Yuan couldn't bear it any longer, "Although you are the vice principal, you should still be reasonable."

Yan Dongting spoke with a tone of "reasoning is worth a few coppers per pound," "If reasoning is useful, why would I have worked so hard to become a soldier?"

Qiu Yuan fell silent.

Cheng Han quietly observed this drama, not saying a word.

He knew very well that in the face of the current situation, he had to choose a side, and the consequence would be offending the other side.

Sitting on the fence?

That's wishful thinking!

A weak person who wants to sit on the fence will only be crushed by both sides.

To stand firmly on the fence, one must have the strength that forces both sides to take notice. But he is currently at most a "rookie," far from it.

But it doesn't matter, they are all part of the Black Armor Army. No matter which battle group he joins, it doesn't make much difference to him.

Yan Dongting smiled again and said, "Teacher Qiu, I understand your situation very well. If you easily back down like this, it will be difficult to explain to the Battle Team."

"I have an idea for you. First, file a complaint with Principal 'Yanshan', and then make a big fuss. As long as you do your best, it will be considered a satisfactory explanation to the Battle Team."

Cheng Han glanced at Yan Dongting without showing any emotion, and instantly had a different view of him.

This person may seem reckless, but deep down, he is actually a very shrewd individual. He is quite skilled at the tactic of "giving a slap and offering a sweet date."

After a brief confrontation, Qiu Yuantian suddenly turned and walked towards the door.

Obviously.

He realized that he couldn't resist the powerful Vice Principal and was forced to choose to back down.

Yan Dongting quickly called out, "Teacher Qiu, don't leave in a hurry. I know you prepared a draft document in advance. I came here too hastily and didn't bring the document. Can I borrow it?"

Qiu Yuantian was so angry that his nose almost twisted.

He was forcibly taken away by someone and then kicked out. Now they even want to snatch his document?

This is truly too much!

He snorted heavily and walked away without looking back.

Yan Dongting shook his head and said, "It seems that the rumors in the school are not wrong. Teacher Qiu does indeed have a bad temper."

The corner of Cheng Han's mouth twitched.

Even a clay Buddha would get angry when someone bullies them. How could he not have a little bit of anger?

Wan Tengjiao took the initiative and said, "Uncle Dongting, Teacher Qiu probably didn't take the document with him. There is a cabinet in the small compartment. I'll go and check there."

Yan Dongting nodded, "Thank you for your trouble."

Wan Tengjiao pushed open the compartment door and walked in quickly.

Yan Dongting turned to Cheng Han and straightforwardly said, "Cheng Han, would you like to become a 'reserve soldier' of the Black Armor Army's Second Battle Team?"

Cheng Han calmly asked, "I want to know what I can get."

Since this person clearly has a direct and straightforward style, he didn't want to play any language games and decided to ask directly.

Yan Dongting showed a look of appreciation and laughed, "I like young people like you who are straightforward."

He continued to explain, "After forming the seal, you will face a more difficult level, which is to condense the 'Body Tempering Seal'. Only then can you become a warrior."

"And during this process, you will need many auxiliary secret medicines for Body Tempering. As long as you sign the reserve document, the Second Battle Team is willing to provide you with free Body Tempering secret medicines for a period of four years."

"In addition, during these four years, the Battle Team will provide you with a monthly subsidy of thirty silver coins, as well as a signing bonus of sixty silver coins."

The salary of an ordinary person is usually around twenty silver coins. To be honest, a monthly subsidy of thirty silver coins can definitely be considered generous.

Yan Dongting continued, "Of course, this is just the initial contract. If you perform well in the future, the Battle Team will provide even better conditions."

In other words, if you don't perform well, it's a one-time deal. You'll have to find your own way in the future.

The Vice Principal deliberately made a comparison, "Among the students who have formed the seal in Tenth High School, the longest period of subsidy is only two years, which is only half of yours."

"And their subsidy amount is at most fifteen silver coins per month, with a signing bonus limit of thirty silver coins. Both of these are much less than what you will receive."

"Cheng Han, considering that you are a very outstanding talent and have a high probability of becoming a warrior in the future, the Battle Team is willing to offer better treatment."

Yan Dongting thought that Cheng Han would definitely agree happily.

Because Wan Tengjiao mentioned earlier that Cheng Han is an orphan and his living conditions are not very good. How could he resist the temptation of thirty silver coins per month?

However.

Reality turned out to be very different from expectations.

Cheng Han showed no signs of being moved, "Not enough."

Yan Dongting was stunned.

Cheng Han bluntly said, "I believe that Teacher Qiu can offer the same conditions. So why should I choose the Second Battle Team?"

If only one Battle Team came knocking on his door, he would have no choice but to agree.

But with two Battle Teams competing, he naturally had bargaining power. Why not ask for a little more benefit?

A person does things for their own sake.

May heaven and earth be destroyed!
