Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 818: Chapter 125: Ruthless Tactics

"Senior Brother Wang, if I remember correctly, you and I clearly wrote it in black and white. You asked Ziang to help me develop a suitable Western antiemetic, and I’ll help you develop suitable rebound protective gear. It was stated that it just needed to be developed, you didn’t say it had to be mass-produced," Xiao Xian said leisurely. If it weren’t for Zhou Ziang giving her a heads-up, she would have almost fallen for the Wang father’s and son’s trap.

"What good is a single wrist guard to me," Wang Shuai was half-angry.

"Don’t make me sound so petty, I will also throw in another wrist guard and a protective vest. Look, here’s the whole package. Plus, I’ve promised Senior Wang Fenglei to make a set for him as well. So in total, I am providing two sets of protective gear to the Wang Family. Twice the good fortune, it gives enough face to the Wang Family," Xiao Xian said while presenting the Dragon’s Beard Grass Armor she’d been rushing to finish for days.

Wang Shuai was reluctant to take it, or not to take it, his face stiffened. After a while he grunted, "Let’s speak frankly, what do you actually want in order to mass produce this kind of armor?"

"Mass produce? Did I hear you right," Xiao Xian dug at her ear, saying pitifully, "Senior Brother Wang, you know I’m just an Intermediate Student, with limited cultivation. Moreover, I am attending an international exchange program this time, whether I come back safely is still uncertain. Even if I agree to re-sign an agreement with the Wang Family, I still have to weigh whether I have the life to come back and fulfill that agreement."

Wang Shuai’s face looked even worse than when he had entered, and he struggled to spit out a few words: "I can give you some advice from my own experience, and provide appropriate protection to avoid unnecessary trouble at the exchange meeting."

Xiao Xian and Xuerou exchanged a "what a good person" look, as Xiao Xian continued to shake her head and lament slowly, "That still won’t work, Senior Brother Wang, men and women are different, you can’t possibly be my bodyguard 24 hours a day, right? Moreover, as a team leader, you will have your own responsibilities. Even disregarding my personal safety, my current Spiritual Power is shallow, and it takes several months to make a set of armor. I’m afraid by the time my hair turns gray and my teeth fall out, I still won’t be able to mass-produce armor according to your requirements to contribute to the country and the Wang Family," Fortunately, Xuerou foresaw this, and exaggerated the difficulty of making armor. She could easily drag the time by saying it takes a month or even two per set of armor.

Xuerou shivered endlessly, while Wang Shuai’s face was so cold, it could drop ice shards.

"I can find a way to enhance your spirit control abilities," Wang Shuai finally said something that made Xiao Xian and Xuerou smile brightly.

This time, they really knocked on the right person’s door.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Wang, I also believe the Wang Family has methods to help improve one’s cultivation," Xiao Xian sighed, she had only resorted to cross Wang Shuai for the sake of making her and Yiyi’s exchange experience in the United States more comfortable. Otherwise, she wouldn’t risk being stared at with daggers by Wang Shuai over a million times.

"But don’t thank me too early, controlling Spiritual Power, especially the kind of plant Spirit Control you possess, isn’t my strong suit. I understand the point of your conversation today, but you’ve actually sought out the wrong person. In this regard, the Mei Family is much better than the Wang Family, so the person you should ask is Mei Nian. However, regarding insider information about the exchange program, I can offer that unconditionally," Wang Shuai slyly smirked, and took a sip of the coffee Xuerou poured for him.

Interacting with people is like flying a kite, you can’t be too tight or too loose, if you don’t give an inch, the line will snap. If it’s too loose, the kite will drift out of control, and Wang Shuai always handles this well.

The international exchange student program is selected every six years, and each country follows a few principles during the selection: Moderation, Loyalty, and Potential.

This means that the selected people aren’t necessarily the strongest in related authoritative schools of the country. They might only be of secondary level, but they must have potential to explore, and their loyalty to the campus and country must be high.

Take Xiao Xian as an example, the reason she was selected is because she has a lot of potential.

In roughly a year since she enrolled, she advanced from a primary student to an Intermediate Student. During that year, she also managed to complete the responsibility fields in the Spiritual Fruit Garden well.

Then she improved the overall environment of Area C, certain things, even though students in the campus might not be aware, the school administration keeps it all documented.

A potential new student is like a grain of sand awaiting the oyster to turn it into a pearl. Only through trying ordeals will it truly become a radiant pearl.
