Zhou Lin looked at the students around him, his gaze softening slightly, but the gentleness vanished in an instant.
The best way to resolve these children's fear…
"It's all over, don't be nervous. Uh, if you're all okay, then pay up. I didn't save you for free. I'm a timely rain, you know."
Zhou Lin's request for money made the students' expressions turn peculiar, unsure if they should cry.
Was this money not enough?
They still wanted their money?
Was this going too far?
"Ahem… I think I might have been too scared. Quickly check if I'm sick."
"I think so too. I don't feel right, my breathing isn't smooth. Why don't I feel right?"
The students around them started making excuses and turned to leave.
Huo Qi and the metaphysics professor looked at Zhou Lin, then at the students, both twitching their lips.
Their previous excitement had been extinguished by Zhou Lin's words.
Huo Qi looked at the metaphysics professor.
"Does your academy not give Zhou Lin money? Why is he so desperate?"
Huo Qi asked, puzzled.
The metaphysics professor's lips twitched. You're the one who doesn't give money.
In the live stream.
"Haha, the boss is truly a timely rain. When it comes to saving people, our boss has it totally under control…"
"I was so scared just now. It was so close, we almost watched the professors die miserably."
"Did you see? This is all the capability of our Great Xia. What else can you people do besides cause trouble? You almost destroyed our historical relics."
"How did we destroy your historical culture? That magma wasn't caused by us, it was caused by your Great Xia people themselves."
"Exactly. We also sacrificed several people. How will you compensate us for our losses?"
"Exactly. Who can compensate for our losses in Sakura Valley?"
"What the hell are you spouting? This is your people's fault. You brought this disaster upon us. We in Great Xia also suffered, do you have any shame?"
"Don't force me to curse you, you bastard. You guys are just asking for it."
…
In the Dean's conference room.
"Phew… I was so scared. I thought these guys were going to die."
Professor Wen let out a long sigh, looking at the large screen.
"Fortunately, fortunately."
Professor Hu and the professors beside him also relaxed with a sigh.
The Dean didn't say anything, but he was equally relieved.
Then, looking at Zhou Lin's actions, the corners of his mouth turned up.
Zhou Lin did this intentionally, to help them regulate their emotions. If they were still filled with fear, how could they continue?
Zhou Lin was actually quite considerate, except when it came to money.
Otherwise, he was quite good.
At this moment, on the Great Xia internet.
Xiao Ming has something to say: Shocking!! A novelist has produced a mysterious weapon that can withstand lava.
Hu Hu Sheng Wei App: Sakura Country caused trouble, and a Great Xia novelist is cleaning up the mess. The novelist's magnanimity and character are truly admirable!!!
Han Dou Video: The novelist 'descended from the heavens' and saved the archaeological teams of two countries.
Bai Ke Bai Jia: The novelist displays astonishing abilities, successfully saving the Sakura Country archaeological team. Whether these archaeological teams are professional needs further investigation.
Below the videos, comments poured in.
"I think this guy from the well is bragging. He has no other skills, yet he dares to call himself a professor. He's just greedy and causes trouble."
"Every time there's trouble, it's the boss who solves it. He still dares to call himself a powerful professor? It's laughable."
"Exactly. No wonder the boss treated him like that before. If it were me, I'd treat them the same. It wouldn't be too much to ask them to kneel, let alone bow."
"Shouldn't they compensate us for Great Xia's losses? Should these mercenaries' lives be compensated?"
"I almost forgot about this. We should definitely demand some compensation. Sakura Country has to pay!"
"Support."
Overseas.
Eagle Country:
"Great Xia people are truly amazing. They can float in the air, in bubbles. We really underestimated them before."
"Yes, Eagle Country may not have such capable individuals, but with this technology, we can still have a chance to research such bubbles."
"This kind of technology cannot stump our Eagle Country. Who dares to say they are second in technology?"
Sakura Country.
"Our Sakura Country people died like this. Shouldn't Great Xia compensate us? This is their tomb. Our people are dead, don't they care?"
"Exactly. Great Xia people must take responsibility for this."
"Not only for the losses, but also for the compensation of the families. This is undeniable."
Great Han Country:
"I support Great Xia in this matter. Who can you blame if you courted death yourselves?"
"But I think Great Xia should also be responsible. After all, Sakura Country people died in Great Xia's tomb. This is undeniable, isn't it?"
"Yes, I also think Great Xia should compensate. There's no doubt about it."
Great Xia.
"Eagle Country, you won't get any results even if you research it. This is Great Xia's Daoist magic, not something science can compare to. Who gave you the audacity to say your science is second?"
"Are you shameless? Sakura Country, we in Great Xia should be demanding compensation from you, understand? It was your people who touched what they shouldn't have. Your people died deservedly, but our Great Xia people shouldn't pay for your actions. Hurry up and pay!"
"Great Han Country, this has nothing to do with you. You'd better shut up, understand? Otherwise, you'll have to pay even if you're just watching. Sakura Country people are desperate for money now, and you onlookers shouldn't get away with it."
Facing Great Xia's counterattack, the three countries engaged in a war of words, and the Great Xia people were not to be outdone.
At this moment, in the Great Xia high-level conference room.
Number One was called to the conference room immediately after finishing his work. He expressed his displeasure regarding Sakura Country's demand for compensation.
He finally understood why Zhou Lin insisted on getting paid. These people really couldn't be indulged, and not asking for money was out of the question.
Now, these people caused trouble, Zhou Lin saved them, and they still dared to demand money?
"These inhumane people, are they crazy for money? They can say such things?"
The high-level officials beside him expressed their unhappiness.
"Heh… Tell them that not only will we not give them money, but they will also compensate us for the losses of our mercenaries. Furthermore, tell them directly, if they don't pay, these archaeological teams will not leave Great Xia alive."
