Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 224 - 223 natural treasures of heaven and earth
Zhou Bai said, "Right, then write me an IOU. In a few days, at the end of the month, when I have the points, I’ll exchange them back for this treasure."
Christina exclaimed in shock, "Have you gone mad, Zhou Bai? You want to exchange this lump back for thousands of points?"
Zhou Bai replied, "Just watch."
On the other side, Zheng Wentian frowned slightly upon hearing Zhou Bai’s words, as he had already planned to keep the marvelous treasure for himself.
To be able to ignore the power of the Primordial Spirit, how useful must this thing be? Just thinking casually, Zheng Wentian could come up with dozens of uses for it, even perhaps as a means to conceal attacks against the Heavenly Demon.
Hence, Zheng Wentian said, "We’re all classmates here; there’s no need to be so exacting about these things. It’s only a few thousand points. Zhou Bai, you don’t need to return them." Having said that, he tried to leave with the treasure.
But he saw Zhou Bai grab him and say, "What are you doing? Are you trying to rob me of my treasure?"
The Golden Armored God General stepped in front of Zhou Bai and said, "Presumptuous."
Zhou Bai immediately shouted, "Thievery! Someone is robbing me in the Dao School!"
Seeing the faint attention from people around, Zheng Wentian quickly said, "Enough, don’t talk nonsense. When have I ever robbed you?"
"Then why don’t you write the IOU when I ask you to?"
Zheng Wentian gritted his teeth and thought to himself, ’It’s better if this treasure doesn’t cause any unforeseen problems. Even if the news is going to come out, I should deliver it to my father before that happens.’
With that in mind, Zheng Wentian said, "Zhou Bai, you don’t need to return those 5000 points to me. Just give me the treasure and that will be enough."
"How can that be?" Zhou Bai indignantly replied, "My treasure is obviously worth more than 5000 points. Aren’t you trying to cheat me?"
Seeing Zhou Bai speaking loudly and about to draw attention once more, Zheng Wentian said, "Alright, alright, calm down. I’ll add another 2000 points; how about selling it to me then?"
"2000 points?" Zhou Bai looked at Zheng Wentian skeptically. "You only have a few hundred points in your account, right? Can you even come up with 2000 points?"
Zheng Wentian felt a flare of anger upon realizing Zhou Bai even knew how much was in his account.
However, thinking of the treasure he acquired that day, he still managed to control his anger and said, "I indeed cannot come up with that many points, but I am of the Immortal God race. Don’t you trust my reputation?" Zheng Wentian said, "Even if I owe you 2000 points, what about that?"
Zhou Bai frowned slightly and coughed softly.
Then, Elsa suddenly sprang out and began sniffing all around Zheng Wentian.
Zhou Bai quickly pulled the Shiba Inu back and said, "What are you doing, Elsa? How many times have I told you not to sniff other people’s elixirs? You don’t need to eat anything recklessly!"
Zheng Wentian paused, blocked Zhou Bai, and said, "It’s fine, I get it. You’re tough, Zhou Bai."
He then pulled out several bottles of pills, "Here are Body Refining Pills and God Refining Pills, to enhance the cultivation of the physical body and Primordial Spirit. They’re all brought over from Central City. I’ll give you enough for three months of cultivation, which altogether is definitely worth 2000 points. How about it?"
Moments later, Zheng Wentian left the dormitory building satisfied, then used his Primordial Spirit power to scan the vomit again, to find it still ignored his power.
He then took out a talisman, pinched a Taoist skill, and saw the talisman quickly expand to completely seal the cup.
He then handed the treasure to the Golden Armored God General, "Take this back to the heavens and present it to my father. Remember, this matter is of great significance, and you must deliver it. Also, make it fast. With Zhou Bai being such a loudmouth, who knows when the news might leak."
The Golden Armored God General, carrying the package with a solemn expression, said, "Rest assured, young master, this subordinate shall not fail the mission."
Zheng Wentian watched the other party leave with satisfaction, thinking to himself, "The value of such a treasure might be far greater than that of the Twilight Taoist Skill. Father will definitely be pleasantly surprised when he sees it."
"Right, I can’t hit Zhou Bai during this assessment," Zheng Wentian thought to himself, "It would be best to figure out where he got his treasure from."
On the other side, Zhou Bai was looking at the items in his hand with great satisfaction, selling them one by one until he had exchanged them for more than 40,000 laziness points.
Christina said, "Those cultivation pills look pretty good. Aren’t you going to use them?"
"What’s there to use? Cultivating on my own won’t establish as solid a foundation as adding points with laziness," Zhou Bai said to Christina, with an air of someone who had been there before, "Tina, on the path of cultivation, establishing a solid foundation is most important. You must not be careless and always think about taking shortcuts by using pills."
Christina: "You’re such a scoundrel."

Zhou Bai looked at Elsa, who had turned back into her human form, and praised, "Well done, Elsa, you get extra meat tonight."
Elsa responded with a series of ’hehehehe’ laughs, completely lighthearted.
Christina: "You’ve corrupted Elsa."
"I’ve taught her how to survive in this society, thank you very much."
Zhou Bai looked at his assistance panel, where not a single laziness point remained due to the expenses of cultivating the Twilight Taoist Skill. But this time, Zheng Wentian had unwittingly given him a blood transfusion, boosting Zhou Bai’s laziness points to over 40,000.
"Over 40,000 points, although it’s not a small amount, it’s still not enough."
Zhou Bai’s mind once again recalled the number of laziness points needed to learn the Tianhe Star Explosion technique.
"It needs a total of 1 million laziness points, and that’s with the bonus from my high charisma. Heaven knows how much it would usually need. Looks like even if I manage to gather 1 million laziness points, I’ll have to drag along Pei and the others."
Zhou Bai sighed, "I just don’t have enough laziness points!"
Next to him, Christina said, "Zhou Bai, are you sure this is okay? Elsa’s vomit will turn back into normal vomit after more than 10 minutes; won’t Zheng Wentian realize he’s been duped?"
"Let’s just say he loaned it to me," said Zhou Bai. "I can’t help it, I really need laziness points right now. Honestly, if it can help me become stronger faster, I could do more for the human race, save more people, and contribute more strength."
"Since fate has chosen me, I’ll bear it all. Even if it means enduring some disgrace."
...
On the other side, Fang Mo and Zuo Lu were walking on the school campus.
"Zuo Lu, I can’t believe you’ve managed to break through to the 9th level," Fang Mo clapped Zuo Lu on the shoulder, "You must have gotten quite a few benefits from the Heavenly Court."
Zuo Lu nodded with a smile, "Commander, you jest. I’m just serving the immortals and gods."
"Heh," Fang Mo said, "It’s rare to have a cultivation genius from the Heavenly Court join my department. Let’s have a meal together and bond a bit."
Zuo Lu politely declined, "I’ve been cultivating non-stop for 72 hours and I’m a bit tired. I want to sleep first."
"Ah, I understand," Fang Mo slapped his own head, "Look at my brain, I’m dead tired as well. Go get some rest, don’t worry about me."
Watching Zuo Lu’s retreating back, Fang Mo narrowed his eyes slightly: "Zhou Bai, Zuo Lu, Pei, these three have issues. Sigh... Zhao Shouyi is too protective of his charges. If it weren’t for him, I would detain and interrogate Zhou Bai and Pei, for sure I could find out something.
With Zuo Lu having backers from the Heavenly Court, I can’t just do anything rash. Sigh..."
