I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

This is why Su Mo didn't know what Cao Duoduo was thinking; otherwise, he would definitely have rolled his eyes.

Regardless of the outcome, Cao Duoduo's father's actions back then were clearly ill-intentioned. He survived his desperate situation thanks to his own talent and luck, what did it have to do with his father?

To put it bluntly, with Cao Duoduo's talent, as long as she can withstand being killed by her family, her future won't be too bad.

As for whether he would have met Yin Liu if he hadn't been in the desert secret realm, it's uncertain, but he would most likely have encountered Su Mo.

After all, there aren't many awakened individuals with crimson talents on Earth right now.

The waiter had already replaced the tea and fruit platters and turned to leave.

"I heard you went to the academy looking for me?"

"Yes, when we went to deliver the elixirs, we wanted to see the principal, but we found out that the principal was still in Blue Ocean at that time."

Cao Duoduo sat to Su Mo's right, leaning slightly forward to get closer to Su Mo.

He said with a smile, "We were planning to go there again soon, but then we received a message from Assistant Zhou saying that the principal is back and wants to see us. Isn't that a coincidence?"

In fact, Su Mo was younger than both of them, but from the moment the three of them met, Su Mo's strength was already like a mountain, an existence that could crush them. Therefore, the two of them completely ignored the age issue and always held Su Mo in awe.

"After receiving the list I gave you, you've done a great job on the tasks, helping a lot by sending back a lot of materials and resources to the academy, as well as precious spiritual herbs. Assistant Zhou has told me about all of this," Su Mo said, indicating that he was aware of their work.

"Principal, please don't say that. Cooperating with the academy also brings us many benefits. We can get our points settled immediately every time, and we also get priority in purchasing high-quality pills from the Chamber of Commerce. It's a great help to us!"

"Oh, right, Principal, look at this..."

Cao Duoduo took out a jade bottle and showed it to Su Mo.

"These are the new Hunyuan Pills that the academy just put on the shelves. I managed to buy two!"

Su Mo raised an eyebrow.

She reminded him, "Little Fatty, your talent means you don't need to eat this."

Cao Duoduo slightly raised his chin, which was now free of excess fat, and nodded at Yin Liu beside him.

"I bought it for him. The Five Elements Pill wasn't in urgent need, but the Primordial Chaos Pill was really in high demand. I spent a lot of points to buy two from two junior students, hehe."

Compared to Cao Duoduo's crimson talent, Yin Liu's yellow talent was really unremarkable. They had thought of ways to improve Yin Liu's talent level before.

After all, many people wanted to do this. In Xia Kingdom, experts emerged from countless corners, talking about many methods to improve talent. Well, it would be more accurate to call them unorthodox remedies.

However, many of these methods are obviously fake, but there are one or two that are quite convincing, making people think that maybe, perhaps, they might work.

Yin Liu tried everything, but it was obviously useless. All their efforts were in vain. At least they didn't harm their bodies. After that, they realized that things were beyond their control.

It turns out that this time, it was the academy that claimed to have a way to improve talent.

Cao Duoduo immediately believed it and acted decisively. Others might be making false claims, but he believed the academy wouldn't.

However, the Hunyuan Pill was listed on the mission platform within the academy, not the academy's merchant guild. He had already graduated and could no longer buy items from the mission platform himself. Once someone leaves the academy, they can no longer enjoy this benefit.

But Cao Duoduo, one of the first graduates, never neglected to maintain his connections within the college, and this time he certainly put them to good use.

Before anyone else received the news, Cao Duoduo had already used his connections to identify two junior students who were most likely to sell the pills.

"You're only in second grade, you'll have plenty of opportunities to encounter the Primordial Chaos Pill."

"I'll buy it at double the price, and you'll double your money by reselling it. Next time you buy, you won't be struggling financially after buying pills, right?"

"After you graduate, if you're interested in joining a hunting team, you can come to my place. We welcome all junior students."

By combining persuasion and awarding points, Cao Duoduo successfully obtained two Hunyuan Pills.

"Is Yin Liu going to eat two?" Su Mo asked, raising an eyebrow.

Yin Liu nodded silently. If possible, he hoped that his talent could be improved by at least one level, even to the orange level!

His personal strength has always been very strong. Even after awakening, he did not slack off in his cultivation. Although he tried to improve his talent, he did not succeed and was not very regretful.

At that time, Yin Liu didn't have a deep sense of talent, until the appearance of mental power martial arts.

The quality and total capacity of a person's mental energy are factors that limit the use of mental energy martial arts. For example, Cao Duoduo's basic mental energy martial arts shield technique can withstand stronger and more damage.

"I was worried that one pill might not be enough, so I got two. The description of the Hunyuan Pill clearly states that the effect after taking it is random, which means it depends on luck. But Liu Liu's luck is usually not very good."

"I'm worried that even two pills might not be enough to achieve my goal," Cao Duoduo said anxiously.

Although Cao Duoduo made nice promises when persuading her junior to sell her the pills, saying that the academy would have more in the future, and that since the new type of pills had already been developed, there would be a second batch after the first.

But who doesn't know that the ingredients used in a pill with such an effect must be precious? It's true that there will definitely be a second batch, but how long will it be? Will there be such a quantity in the second batch? Nobody knows.

"Alright, calm down and adjust your emotions before taking the medicine," Su Mo said calmly.

She couldn't figure out the probability of getting the Hunyuan Pill, so she changed the subject and said, "You guys must be very busy, right? What brings you here? Tell me."

Yin Liu then sat up straight, cleared her throat, and said, "We want to visit the principal to discuss cooperation."

"Hmm, what kind of cooperation?" Su Mo asked.

She had a suspicion that the other party was probably after her cargo ship, but she couldn't be sure, since she had heard that Yin Liu had always been independent of the Yin family after graduation.

The fact that someone is seeking cooperation with her doesn't necessarily mean it has anything to do with the Yin family.

Then, Yin Liu said, "The Yin family has won the ownership of a small celestial body at the Extraterrestrial Development Office. I wonder if the principal knows about this?"

"The Yin family has decided to start developing the small celestial body they have acquired as soon as possible. They have even organized the entire team to send it there. It's just that they encountered difficulties in transportation."

"Currently, the transportation companies in Xia State with this capability are all officially controlled. It's not that they refuse to take orders, but the new cargo ships haven't arrived yet."

Yin Liu paused here, observing Su Mo's reaction.
