"Wow, isn't this our busy boy? He finally came back after missing a whole month of classes?"
With the speed of the Venom supercar, Xia Xu naturally returned to the University of Science and Technology of China very quickly. As soon as he finished the procedures for returning to school, he ran into Grant who had just finished class.
"What do you mean by skipping classes? I asked for leave. This is the privilege of a talented entrepreneur."
Xia Xu shrugged and walked towards him.
At this moment, Grant was carrying his own quiver bag in his hands, and there were groups of students around him, a few of whom were also carrying similar packages.
Of course, they were not planning to engage in any armed activities, they just finished an elective course on archery.
The University of Science and Technology of China offers a very wide range of elective courses. If you want to learn more about art, there are tea art, flower arrangement, painting, and music; if you want to learn more about martial arts, there are archery, horse riding, tai chi, etc.
Moreover, they are not just perfunctory like other universities. They all really invite experts to teach, and even have special archery halls, and cooperate with horse farms and gun clubs.
By the way, Xia Xu actually also signed up for an archery course. He had originally intended to improve his shooting ability. It just so happened that it was an elective course, so he could train and earn credits at the same time.
Unfortunately, plans cannot keep up with changes. Because I had to take a full month off for the second heart reconstruction, I only attended the formal courses for one week, not to mention the elective courses, which were not offered before.
"Why did you suddenly ask for a whole month's vacation? Did you encounter any difficult problems?"
Grant quickened his pace and walked side by side with Xia Xu. He asked with a little curiosity while trying to attract business for himself: "For the sake of our friendship, if you are willing to provide sufficient compensation, I don't mind solving some problems for you."
"I don't think I need to. To be honest, your current small body can't withstand a blow from me."
Xia Xu rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Ever since he deeply felt his own "poverty" last time and learned that he was really a billionaire, Grant has returned to this state. The poor habits engraved in his bones are indeed not so easy to eliminate.
"I think the last accident has somewhat affected my glorious image in your mind."
Grant retorted unhappily, "If you let me keep my distance or give me a few guns, I can easily deal with that giant. No matter how powerful your long sword is, you won't have a chance to get close to me."
"But the fact is that you were of no use last time, and I don't need to hire an archer who can only shoot arrows, even if you can hit the target every time."
Xia Xu spread his hands helplessly.
"This can only be blamed on your place being too strict."
Grant complained with regret.
He is a super sharpshooter who has traveled to many countries. He can make a group of vicious gangsters tremble in fear when given a sniper rifle or even an ordinary revolver. Killing werewolves is as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.
Until... he came to Xia Country!
God knows how difficult it is to get a gun in this crappy place.
The most important thing is that even if he could get it, it would be difficult to use it. As long as the gunshots were heard, there would be a lot of trouble and investigation. After suffering two lessons, he dared not to do it again.
"Oh, by the way, I remember that your archery skills are terrible. I think you definitely need a shooting coach. Believe me, there is no one better than Grant."
Unwilling to give up after his attempt to act as a mercenary failed, Grant had to find another way.
"This is great. Let's go to the archery hall at night."
Xia Xu did not refuse this time.
His shooting ability is indeed not that good, and he also lacks long-range means, so he needs to train seriously.
When it comes to shooting guidance, there is obviously no better candidate than Grant, who has a five-star shooting talent. Learning more experience and skills can be used even if you switch to other high-tech long-range weapons in the future.
"Let me make it clear, good brother, this will cost you money."
Grant perked up and quickly added.
"How many?"
Xia Xu raised his eyebrows.
"Fifty, no, one million."
Grant rolled his eyes and said with a grin.
"You think I'm a sucker, don't you? With one million dollars, why don't you just rob a bank?"
Xia Xu was so angry that he laughed.
"This is a one-on-one lesson taught by shooting master Grant himself, and it's only one million. You've made a lot of money."
Grant laughed.
"Okay, that's fine, one million is one million."
Xia Xu changed the subject and nodded in agreement for some unknown reason.
"You...wait, you're really going to give me a million?"
Grant was just joking and had never expected Xia Xu to agree so readily. He was unable to react for a moment.
"Of course, just like you said, we good brothers should settle accounts clearly."
Xia Xu smiled slightly, then showed regret: "It's just that I originally intended to give this to you as a gift. Now that you strongly request it, I can only reluctantly charge the market price."
As he said this, he had already pulled out a needle-less syringe as thick as his index finger from his pocket. The transparent, hollow syringe with the shimmering liquid medicine faintly visible inside had a unique sense of mystery.
"What is this?"
Grant was stunned.
"Super enhancer, can greatly enhance physical fitness."
Xia Xu said with a smile.
“There is such a good thing?”
Grant's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Are you really going to give it to me?"
"Originally, yes, but now I have to charge too."
Xia Xu smiled.
"What's the price?"
Grant asked.
"We are good brothers. I will give you a discount of 40 million."
Xia Xu looked cheerful.
It is indeed a discount, 40% off.
"You robbed?"
Grant screamed in anger.
"You grabbed it first. It's an exclusive sale. There's no demand for it. Take it if you want."
Xia Xu shrugged indifferently.
"Can I buy it on credit?"
Grant hesitated for a moment, looking conflicted.
If this is true for body enhancers, tens of millions is not an unreasonable price. After all, it is a groundbreaking product that can create super soldiers. The military will definitely rush to buy it if they sell it to them.
"Of course, we are good brothers. Come on, take it."
Xia Xu smiled and readily put the needleless syringe into Grant's hand. He patted his shoulder and said, "To offset the one million for the course, you still owe me thirty-nine million. Remember to pay it back as soon as possible."
"I... I'm already 40 million in negative assets?"
Grant was holding the syringe with his head in disarray. Firstly, he had not yet recovered from the unexpected achievement of becoming a multi-millionaire in debt, and secondly, he did not expect Xia Xu to be so straightforward.
Forty million, just give it to me like this
Even if the price is a bit inflated, even if you are really rich, isn't this too outrageous
This is something worth tens of millions. The person who received it feels a little nervous. Are you really going to just give it to me casually
"Um...thanks, I'll return it to you as soon as possible."
Grant became a little embarrassed and said thank you, but in the end he didn't have the heart to refuse.
In fact, he had long felt that his own strength was insufficient and he really needed something that could strengthen his body.
"No need to thank me, young man. Just work hard to pay off your debts."
Xia Xu said with a smile.
"Your strong physique before was also due to the use of this medicine?"
As the saying goes, one should be under obligation to return what one has received from a person. After receiving the 40 million, Grant seemed a little uncomfortable for a moment and kept making small talk.
"No, I didn't."
Xia Xu chuckled and shook his head.
"Why not?"
Grant asked with some confusion.
"To be precise, this thing is not a medicine, but a genetic serum that is only useful for certain organisms."
Xia Xu smiled.
Grant was stunned: "Specific creatures?"
"Hey, haven't you always been curious about why Atuo is so powerful?"
Xia Xu gestured to Atuo next to him with a meaningful look.
"You mean to say I'm a dog?"
Grant's face turned green when he heard this, and he was furious.
"That's not what I said."
Xia Xu laughed loudly, quickly took a few steps forward, and escaped safely.
What he gave Grant was, of course, the wolf-strengthening serum.
He managed to squeeze out this share by combining orders from special departments with the K protein from himself and Gu Haiming.
He actually planned to supply Grant with this thing a long time ago. After all, according to the original plot, Atto's strengthening serum should be something that increases Grant's strength.
It was already a big enough advantage to get the initial serum and manufacturing technology. Now that he has the ability, he naturally doesn't mind compensating for it. At the same time, it is also a precaution against Grant's failure in some incident due to the lack of the original reinforcement.
As for the charges, it’s mostly just a joke.
Of course, if he really wanted to receive the money, he would definitely not be polite. After suffering the price blow of Hyte Alloy, he now realizes that he is just a poor man. If Grant insists on giving it to him, he will not refuse it.
"Asshole, give me back the feeling I just had!"
