Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

Chapter 127, Day 24 Settlement, Verdict

Professor Kong's home.

After dinner, during a casual chat, Xiao Yun seemingly unintentionally brought up the matter of Kong Changhao.

"Madam, Chang Hao seems quite tall and eats a lot, so why is he so thin?"

"Yeah, I remember Chang Hao used to be a chubby kid, how come he's so thin now? Is there not enough food here?"

Jiang Shangzhen also looked puzzled. He pulled Kong Changhao over and examined him carefully, but found nothing unusual.

Speaking of this, the two elders' faces were full of worry.

"Sigh, ever since Chang Hao came into this world, I don't know what's wrong with him. He's getting thinner and thinner every day. At first, I thought it would be healthy to be thinner, but now he's just skin and bones..."

Professor Cheng wiped away her tears, looking at her grandson with heartache in her eyes.

"I don't know if there's some kind of strange disease in this world. We've consulted professors at the medical school, and Principal Sun has also brought alchemists and priests to help with the treatment, but it hasn't been very effective."

Old Master Kong's eyebrows drooped, frustrated that he couldn't cure his grandson's illness.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became somber. Xiao Yun looked at everyone and smiled as he comforted them:

"Master and Mistress, you don't need to worry, I can cure Chang Hao's illness."

"Xiao Yun, what did you say?"

Old Master Kong looked over in disbelief, while Professor Cheng held onto Xiao Yun tightly, as if afraid he would run away.

"Xiao Yun, is what you're saying true? Can you really cure Chang Hao's illness?"

"That's right, Madam. I've read about Chang Hao's situation in an ancient book before..."

Xiao Yun rephrased the information in the preview, concealing the fact that it could upgrade his talent.

"Great! Great! My Chang Hao is saved!"

Professor Cheng wept with joy, but Professor Kong frowned:

"To awaken his talent, he needs to change jobs, but it's too dangerous for Chang Hao, a 10-year-old child, to complete the job change, and we don't have any slots available..."

"Spots?"

Xiao Yun was somewhat puzzled, but after listening to Elder Kong's explanation, he suddenly understood.

It turns out that because changing jobs requires a lot of resources, the faculty and staff have been saving up resources for several days to force one person to change jobs. If hunting is involved in the process, there is a great risk involved.

"Could you talk to Principal Sun and, considering our contributions over the years, give Changhao a transfer opportunity?"

Professor Cheng had just finished speaking when Professor Kong shook his head:

"Impossible. Although it involves human lives, we must also consider the overall situation. Even if Chang Hao were to awaken, how much combat power could a ten-year-old child have? It would be a loss for the greater good."

The light in Professor Cheng's eyes dimmed, and just then, a strong hand rested on her arm.

"Don't worry, Madam. I can help Chang Hao awaken his talent, and there won't be any danger."

Professor Cheng was overjoyed, tears streaming down his face, and he kept saying thank you.

"However, Master and Mistress, as you know, even if I am confident, it will be difficult to complete. Therefore, I need you to take Chang Hao back to the North Campus with you."

"this……"

"this……"

The two elders were speechless for a moment, then quickly made a decision.

"Chang Hao, when your brother Xiao Yun goes back, you should go with him to stay there for a while, and come back after your brother Xiao Yun has cured your illness."

"As for the two of us, we're old and our legs aren't strong enough, so we won't go that far."

Xiao Yun and Jiang Shangzhen exchanged a glance, and just as they were about to say something, they saw Elder Kong wave his hand:

"No need to say more, I naturally trust you two, master and disciple. In fact, based on the strength you've shown, Chang Hao is safer with you than with us two old guys."

"We two old guys can still help everyone with research and contribute our remaining energy. We can't let public affairs interfere with our private lives."

"Master..."

Xiao Yun's eyes were full of admiration as he nodded emphatically in assurance:

"Don't worry, Master and Mistress, next time I come, I will definitely bring a healthy Chang Hao to see you."

The two elders smiled and turned to comfort the reluctant Kong Changhao.

Fortunately, teenagers are at an age where they are very curious and admire Xiao Yun greatly. They quickly overcame their grief and looked forward to their new life at the North Campus.

Professor Cheng led Kong Changhao back to the house to pack his things, and Old Kong looked at Xiao Yun.

"Leaving tomorrow?"

"Okay, we'll wait for Principal Sun to bring up the cooperation alliance tomorrow, and then we'll leave."

"Oh, you're so sure Old Sun will agree to your conditions?"

Xiao Yun smiled and said:

"Principal Sun's vision is not based on power; for the sake of all teachers and staff, he will make the right choices."

Master Kong nodded, agreeing with Xiao Yun's words.

Xiao Yun is powerful, upright, and responsible. Principal Sun is a sensible person and won't make a mistake.

"I'm getting old. In the future, this world will still belong to you young people."

Master Kong smiled, then solemnly reminded him:

"However, such things cannot be just verbal promises; it is best to put them in writing and have a legally binding guarantee to ensure their implementation, in order to avoid problems."

"Don't worry, Master, I was prepared."

Xiao Yun nodded.

After chatting for a while, it got late, so Xiao Yun and the others returned to the room that Principal Sun had prepared for them to rest.

The night passed quickly, and early the next morning, Xiao Yun woke up and first looked at the settlement from the previous night.

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully surviving one day. Today's rewards are being calculated.]

Today, you successfully slayed the Lord-level monster, the Swamp Frog, uncovered the villains' plot, killed them, saved hundreds of lives, and rescued nearly a hundred broken families...

Your heroic name will spread far and wide; the path to legend lies ahead!

Overall rating: 179 points, reward being distributed:

[Congratulations on obtaining 3 Medium Home Expansion Cards, 2 Medium Backpack Expansion Cards, 3 Equipment Upgrade Cards, 3 Skill Upgrade Cards, 3 Building Upgrade Cards, C-Rank Title: Sword of Justice, and 1 Remote Communication Radio]

"Sword of Justice: +100 initial regional reputation, makes it easier to gain the trust of others, and increases damage when involved in malicious events and acting as the side of justice."

Xiao Yun looked at the title's effects and nodded repeatedly.

"The effect is alright, but it feels really weird to flaunt this title in public. Why can't it be like a set of equipment where the appearance is hidden?"

"Take it out when you need it."

Xiao Yun sighed and roughly sorted out the other gains.

Killing Tang Jun and his men did grant them a fair amount of attribute points, but the skills they dropped were mediocre, and the loot they obtained was also quite ordinary.

But Xiao Yun didn't care, since he had basically achieved his goal of winning over the faculty and staff.

"We're just waiting for Principal Sun's report..."

Sun Jianguo didn't keep Xiao Yun waiting for long. While Xiao Yun and the others were having breakfast, someone brought news.

"Will the verdict against Tang Sheng'an be held in the square at 8 o'clock? No problem, we will be there on time."

Xiao Yun nodded, thinking to himself that Principal Sun had indeed made the right decision.

"Could this be a trap?"

Jiang Shangzhen offered a reminder, and Xiao Yun pondered for a moment before verifying it with two pieces of preview information.

[Ding! The preview information has been updated.]

Tang Sheng'an was unaware that the useless rusty iron sword he carried was actually a creation of a legendary elven craftsman, containing power that could bring about new changes to the mithril sword.

Walking four steps clockwise and four steps counterclockwise from the plaza in the faculty and staff dormitory area at night might reveal unexpected surprises.

"The system will automatically search for the information most closely related to me. Judging from these two pieces of information, there is no problem."

"However, these two pieces of information are a pleasant surprise."

Xiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief and looked at everyone.

"There shouldn't be any problems, but we should still be vigilant."

Everyone nodded, their expressions slightly relaxed.

Soon, it was time for the sentencing to begin.

Xiao Yun and his group set off, heading to the square under the guidance of Principal Sun's secretary.

The square, about half the size of a basketball court, was teeming with people.

"Excuse me, excuse me, Building Manager Xiao is here for the sentencing hearing."

Everyone turned around and stared intently at Xiao Yun, their eyes filled with amazement and awe. Some even thanked Xiao Yun repeatedly.

The crowd quickly parted to make way.

Thank you everyone.

Xiao Yun smiled, walked through the crowd, and stood next to Principal Sun.

Principal Sun smiled, then turned to the crowd and said loudly:

"Then, the trial shall now officially begin!"

Tang Shengan was pushed up and pressed to the ground in the middle of the square.

People around him cast angry and hateful glances, cursing and yelling, while stones and rotten vegetable leaves were constantly thrown at him.

Principal Sun had to maintain order for a while, but Tang Shengan did nothing, as if he had expected it.

Fearing that the crowd's anger might lead to a loss of order, Principal Sun briefly described Tang Sheng'an's crimes and announced:

"Tang Sheng'an, death sentence, to be carried out immediately!"
