Universe Infinite Canteen-Chapter 613: Radio Mango Tree

Tang Dewang left, and the students and teachers from Lingnan also left the field in succession, leaving only Hou De still celebrating.

Today’s participating students all received a minimum bonus of a hundred dollars, and even the reserve players, who didn’t make an appearance, got a participation fee of twenty dollars.

Furthermore, having defeated a formidable opponent, everyone was immersed in a sea of joy, eagerly discussing where to go for dinner and how to relax.

Principal Ma, too, was smiling as he watched the group’s passionate discussion.

This is youth!

Back when he was a student, he felt the same excitement after finishing exams.

Taking advantage of everyone’s high spirits, Ma Lu decided to announce more good news.

He clapped his hands and said, "Alright, that’s enough celebration for now. Next up, it’s time to clean up the catastrophe belt."

Hearing this, the students immediately quieted down.

Lu Yingying and Wei Ruonan couldn’t believe their ears; they had just engaged in a tough battle, everyone was exhausted, and yet Ma Lu was planning to take them to clean up the catastrophe belt.

Was this... self-imposed difficulty?

However, when the two looked around, they saw that the students didn’t seem overly reluctant; instead, they began to gather their things.

It seemed they had silently accepted this absurd decision.

Besides being disciplined by Li Zhengwei over this period, their previous experiences had taught them that cleaning up the catastrophe belt mainly depended on Principal Ma’s performance.

They were just there to assist and add a little chaos for Ma Lu, so their condition didn’t really matter.

And since everyone who went got paid, no one complained about Principal Ma’s daunting task now.

After making this decision, Ma Lu also told Lu Yingying and Wei Ruonan,

"You said Youyi wanted to take some photos of me in combat, come along. The catastrophe belt this time is nearby, and we can all fly back together when it’s done."

"Ah?" Lu Yingying hesitated. If it were just her, that would be fine—she was someone who enjoyed excitement and adventures.

But the problem was Wei Ruonan was also there, and if anything happened to Wei Ruonan, the entire Lu family would be in deep trouble.

However, before Lu Yingying could decline, Wei Ruonan spoke up first, "No problem, let’s go."

"Not in a hurry," Ma Lu then said, "Let me first send a telegram to Youyi, asking her to apply for the next challenge. Hmm, let’s take on the school ranked number 100 next week. Who is it again?"

"Guoguang Academy," answered Li Zhengwei, who then added, "Guoguang is unlike Lingnan; their strength is very formidable.

"Lingnan only has Luo Hengyi; Guoguang has five of him and their other students are also very skilled."

"No worries," snapped Ma Lu, "trust our own students. I sense they still have a lot of potentials to unearth."

If it weren’t for the presence of outsiders, Li Zhengwei would definitely have argued with Ma Lu; how could you talk about unearthing potential with a bunch of D and E graded talents?

Despite Hou De’s successful potential unearthing over the past week, Li Zhengwei still didn’t understand how it was done.

Even if they experienced such a miracle again, they still wouldn’t be able to defeat Guoguang Academy.

Entering the top hundred rankings is a different league entirely from those schools below.

But as the dictatorial principal now fully in charge of Hou De, Ma Lu was beyond reach; not only students, but even Hou De’s instructors had gotten used to executing his commands unconditionally.

At least for now, even the most outrageous decisions had proven to be correct after the fact.

Hou De’s development was progressing very rapidly.

Ma Lu didn’t know what others were thinking at the moment; he just wanted to gather some resources before returning.

While developing the school was important, he couldn’t lose sight of the main purpose of coming to this world.

What difference would it make if he didn’t stock up and just died returning? Dying and returning would be quicker, allowing him to continue gaming or browse his phone list to find a girl to share some emotional exchanges with.

…

An hour later, Ma Lu successfully killed the lord in this Second-level Disaster Belt, obtaining a "Radio Mango Tree."

Similar to the previous abstract fruits, the mangoes on this tree were quite magical, with one side as smooth as a mirror. Once plucked, the mirrored side would start randomly broadcasting a radio program from some Plane.

Ma Lu tried one; fortunately, it wasn’t "Goodbye Lover 4," but rather a sentimental program where two androids were disputing the custody of an electronic pet.

Afterward, the group returned to Ping City.

Lu Yingying was very pleased with this interview. During the flight, she had already started writing a press release.

The content somewhat reflected her personal emotions. In the article, she extensively praised Ma Lu, describing him as a man of profound intelligence who was well-versed in various military strategies, a planner of hidden moves, and possessed bravery that could quell demons and monsters.

He was, indeed, a rare gem of a man.

Even Ma Lu, with his thick skin, felt a bit embarrassed after reading it.

After finishing the press release, as the plane was about to land, Ma Lu asked Lu Yingying, "Your colleague Wei Ruonan..."

"What, you want her address too?" Lu Yingying playfully said with feigned anger. "You already have my address and phone number—you can’t be so greedy."

"No, it’s that her family background isn’t ordinary, right?"

"Eh, why would you think that?"

"Because Principal Tang initially didn’t want to stay for a group photo with us, but then he changed his mind after his secretary said something to him.

"His attitude changed probably because he recognized your or Wei Ruonan’s identity," Ma Lu said.

"It’s not me; I don’t have that much influence. Although my dad’s business is big, he’s just a businessman and has no ties with Lingnan."

"Then it must be Wei Ruonan. Who is she, exactly?"

This time, Lu Yingying didn’t answer but merely smiled mysteriously. "Want to know? Then you’ll have to please me. If I’m happy, maybe I’ll tell you."

"How can I make you happy?"

"Hmm, not today. I still have to go back to work at the news agency. How about we go see a movie tomorrow? There’s a new release, ’Ice Phoenix Battle Six-tailed Monkey,’ about talisman masters cleaning up catastrophe belts," Lu Yingying suggested.

"But I have to go back and deal with business; I won’t be able to return tomorrow," Ma Lu said. "How about this, I’ll bring a gift next time I come."

"A gift, huh? Sure, but just so you know, I have high standards."

"Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you’re satisfied."
