National Awakening: My Left Eye Copies My Right Eye and Sublimates

98: Are you here to cheat your father?“It seems you’ve already figured it out. That’s right, to deal with Void Creatures, the ability to fly is essential.”

Hearing General Hu’s explanation, Xia Qi nodded.

Those who went to deal with Void Creatures back then were either high-Rank Professionals or possessed the ability to fly.

General Hu continued, “Of course, there are other items that grant flight besides fairy wings, but fairy wings are relatively easier to obtain.”

“Originally, we had calculated the time and location of Fairy Island’s appearance, but we didn’t expect it to spawn within Sakura Country’s territory, which nearly led to the failure of this Trial.”

“However, thanks to you, you rendered great service in this Trial.”

“At Shengjing University, merits are always rewarded. Tell me, what reward do you want? I’ll try my best to satisfy you.”

General Hu rambled on for a long time, but only the last sentence got to the point.

The reward was the reason he was called here.

“Since that’s the case, then I’ll speak?”

Xia Qi smiled and looked at General Hu.

“Go ahead.”

“Give me a thousand bottles of Talent Potion.”

As his voice fell, General Hu, who was drinking tea, sprayed tea everywhere.

“How many?”

His eyes widened, as if he had misheard.

“A thousand bottles.”

Xia Qi’s smile grew brighter. Opportunities to proactively make demands like this were rare.

General Hu looked at Xia Qi with a strange expression, “Do you know how much a thousand bottles of Talent Potion cost? The official price is one billion, and in the black market, it can sell for four billion.”

“You little brat, you’re not really taking me for a fool, are you?”

“This request won’t work, change it.”

General Hu wiped the corner of his mouth, placed his teacup on the table, and adopted an unyielding attitude.

Xia Qi thought for a moment, “Then reward me with ten middle-level rune reset stones.”

Since the Talent Potion couldn’t be given, then he would ask for some Rune Reset Stones; he could always farm dungeons to earn money and buy them himself.

“Ten, and Intermediate ones?”

General Hu shot up from his chair, “Do you know how valuable a middle-level rune reset stone is? Even Elementary ones are hard to buy, let alone Intermediate ones.”

“You’re asking for ten at once now. Are you sure you’re not messing with me?”

What General Hu said was true. Rare items like Rune Reset Stones couldn’t be bought in the black market, let alone other exchanges.

“Then tell me what to reward, I’m fine with anything.”

Xia Qi spread his hands helplessly.

“Look, do you want Advanced Materials or equipment?”

Xia Qi shook his head.

“How about I make an exception and reward you with flight equipment made from fairy wings?”

After hearing this, Xia Qi shook his head again.

These things were optional for him and had no practical use.

For flying, he could achieve it using his Divine Lightning or Divine Wind Talents.

General Hu was speechless with Xia Qi. He didn’t want this, he didn’t want that, so what should he reward?

Yet, he was the one who told Xia Qi to make a request, and he couldn’t fulfill a single one.

After a moment of thought, General Hu gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, then the academy will reward you with fifty bottles of Talent Potion, and I’ll personally reward you with fifty bottles.”

“As for Rune Reset Stones, although you have made contributions, it’s not enough to exchange for a middle-level rune reset stone.”

“How about this, I’ll give you a mission, and if you complete it, I’ll help you get one.”

Hearing General Hu’s promise, Xia Qi’s eyes lit up, “Okay, it’s a deal.”

He had originally planned to give up, but he still managed to get a hundred bottles of Talent Potion, which was already a great gain.

As for the Rune Reset Stone, doing a mission was not difficult for him.

Seeing Xia Qi smile, General Hu was amused by him, “You little brat are truly a shrewd one. You knew I couldn’t back down, so you intentionally made such demands, didn’t you?”

“No, no, I really just said it casually.”

Xia Qi certainly wouldn’t admit it, otherwise, if General Hu went back on his word, he would lose out.

“Alright, don’t get too happy too soon. This mission has a Rank requirement. You need to raise your Rank to 22 before you can undertake this mission.”

“As for how to raise your Rank, I won’t say much more. Director Chang is an expert; just listen to him.”

After speaking, General Hu didn’t linger and left directly.

Without a doubt, he was probably going to get the Talent Potion for Xia Qi.
