Chapter 297: Chapter 297: Reaping What You Sow
At this moment, Zhao Longfei deeply regretted it.
When negotiating the special admission conditions, he had agreed to give Qin Siyang a privilege that allowed him to designate something himself.
However, Qin Siyang's privilege was too special, it disrupted the environment and balance of the school.
So, at the beginning, Zhao Longfei had set the condition that Qin Siyang must rank first in both God-Hunting Points and Research Points.
On the surface, this condition seemed perfectly reasonable. The level of privilege should correspond to the level of ability.
Qin Siyang had accepted it.
But at that time, Qin Siyang did not know that South Glory University had specially admitted a military student with a staggering 80,000 God-Hunting Points this year.
No matter how skilled Qin Siyang was, it was impossible for him to gain over 70,000 points before the semester even started.
Zhao Longfei had planned everything meticulously.
By the time Qin Siyang failed to meet the requirement, he wouldn't have to grant him the privilege that could disrupt campus order, and he could even scam him out of the Vine Core.
It was a win-win.
After signing the agreement, Zhao Longfei had already displayed a confident, "everything is under control" smile.
But plans never keep up with change.
This kid Qin Siyang was a total monster.
No one expected that acquiring the Vine Core was only the beginning.
After obtaining the Crimson Crystal and miraculously reviving, Qin Siyang became so fearsome that Zhao Longfei had to give in.
He relaxed the privilege condition to the top three rankings instead.
The third-place holder, Gu Yunpeng, had only a little over 30,000 God-Hunting Points.
At Qin Siyang's current pace, earning thousands of points per trip outside the Safe Zone, reaching over 30,000 wasn't even a challenge.
Zhao Longfei was deeply worried.
This kid Qin Siyang was full of sneaky ideas.
If he really got that privilege, there was no telling what kind of disaster he might stir up.
So, after much deliberation, Zhao Longfei decided to use public opinion to restrain Qin Siyang.
He used an anonymous temporary account to leak Qin Siyang's first version of the special admission agreement on the school forum.
Now, everyone knew about Qin Siyang's privilege.
Then, he fanned the flames on the forum, spreading claims that Qin Siyang was an unparalleled genius who would undoubtedly overturn the rankings with his God-Hunting Points.
On the [Sequence Education] forum, Zhao Longfei, under the alias [Jade-Faced Little Flying Dragon], tirelessly hyped up Qin Siyang every day.
He raised Qin Siyang so high that if he couldn't secure first place, using that privilege would be too embarrassing.
In fact, the nickname Miracle Bro for Qin Siyang was first coined by [Jade-Faced Little Flying Dragon].
Zhao Longfei even frequently argued with skeptics who believed it was impossible for Qin Siyang to earn 70,000+ points in just a few months.
The forum became divided into two camps.
One side, the [Qin Siyang Support Club], believed he would undoubtedly reach the top.
The other side thought he would fail and lose his privilege.
But regardless of where they stood, no one believed that Qin Siyang could keep such an unbelievable privilege without being the top-ranked student.
No matter how talented he was, if he wasn't first place, how could he still keep that privilege?
Even if the school allowed it, would Qin Siyang have the face to use it?
That would be shameless.
A brilliant young man like Qin Siyang couldn't possibly be that kind of person.
In short—
Zhao Longfei had thrown Qin Siyang straight onto the fire.
And for that, he deserved full credit.
His enthusiastic support even caught the attention of the leaders of the [Qin Siyang Support Club].
Because he was so active, [Jade-Faced Little Flying Dragon] was directly promoted to an elite core member of the club.
But—
Zhao Longfei never expected this.
Qin Siyang was brutal.
It was as if Lady Luck herself had taken a liking to him.
Every time he left the Safe Zone, he came back with treasures.
Not a single trip was wasted.
He even solo-killed a Thunder Snow Wolf, and, by sheer coincidence, found Titan Grass Fragments in its stomach.
Zhao Longfei was aware of the Management Bureau's mission rewards.
Both the Thunder Snow Wolf and the Titan Grass were incredibly valuable.
This single trip must have earned Qin Siyang at least 20,000 points.
And if he had a chat with Minister Tang Wanjing from the Management Department, maybe he could negotiate for even more.
But if Qin Siyang hadn't been forced into this by the overwhelming public scrutiny. These rare materials would have either gone to South Glory University or to professors employed by the university.
Now?
They were all gone.
Completely, utterly, gone.
And so—
[Jade-Faced Little Flying Dragon] was officially grounded.
Qin Siyang, on the other hand, couldn't care less about Zhao Longfei's reaction.
What was done was done.
He had to take first place in the school's new semester rankings.
Otherwise, life in the Safe Zone would become unbearable.
He'd probably have to wear a mask in public just to avoid being recognized.
Qin Siyang said, "Professors, Principal Zhao, I've been out in the field for too long. I'd like to go rest now."
"Let's hurry up and get this done."
"If you need to pee, start preparing now. If not, drink some water."
"In a moment, we'll finalize the contract for the Titan Foxtail Grass."
"Old Li, handle Dean Chen's share for me, will you? It's not convenient for me."
"You all get ready. I'll split the Titan Grass fragment into ten parts."
Qin Siyang took out his God-Hunting Dagger and evenly divided the Titan Grass fragment.
"Old Li, you go first."
Li Tianming pulled up his pants, eyeing Qin Siyang warily as they stood face-to-face.
"Little Qin, can you stop staring at me?"
"The contract-sharing ritual requires me to look at both you and the contract item. If I don't look at you, how do we complete the ritual?"
"…I can't pee if you're watching me."
"Huh? Old Li, are you really that shy? But back when we were in the faculty restroom…"
"Shut up! Let me try again!"
Under Qin Siyang's gaze, the sound of water trickling was heard.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk… Didn't expect that…"
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Nothing, just making an observation."
"Observation, my ass!"
"Professor Lu, do you have a magnifying glass on you?"
"I do, actually. Need it?"
"Yeah, hand it over. I want to take a closer look—"
"QIN SIYANG!!"
"Alright, alright! I won't look anymore."
Li Tianming's face turned bright red from anger.
After finishing with Li Tianming, it was Zhang Kuang's turn.
Zhang Kuang scratched his messy hair and asked, "Little Qin, do you have some kind of weird fetish?"
"What? No! Principal Zhang, don't be nervous. You can turn your back to me. I'll stand behind you and still be able to see both you and the Titan Grass fragment on the ground."
Li Tianming immediately snapped, "Qin Siyang! Then why the hell did you have to stand right in front of me?"
Qin Siyang gave a simple, honest smile, "Old Li, I just thought of this method now."
"So you only messed with me?"
"No way. I always treat people equally."
["Lie."]
Even after the lie detector exposed him, Qin Siyang just shrugged and smiled.
The last one to share the contract was Zhao Longfei.
As soon as he unbuckled his belt, Qin Siyang suddenly clapped a hand on his shoulder.
"Principal Zhao, do you regret it?"
Zhao Longfei froze for a second, then turned his head with a forced smile, one uglier than crying.
"Regret what? I don't understand what you're talking about."
