High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 667: Chapter 15 Different Ways to Spend Money_1

”Then what you said about sharing the rewards earlier got my hopes up for nothing.”

The fat guy sitting in the front row turned back at some point and half-complained.

”Did I say that? You must have misheard me!” Zheng Qing denied what he said a few seconds ago without hesitation, completely unabashed: ”I was saying we can discuss how to use this money later...”

”How much is it?” The fat guy asked in a low voice.

Zheng Qing held up two fingers.

Xiao Xiao cast a side glance at him.

”Two hundred jade coins?” Xin Fat Man bulged his eyes: ”From our previous analysis, the school only paid about one hundred, didn’t they? The Wandering Bar charged such a high premium? The school is really too stingy!”

”What are you thinking!” Zheng Qing’s face darkened: ”One hundred and ten! Don’t you understand hand gestures?”

”You’re bullshitting! Since when does one hundred and ten mean holding up two fingers?!” The fat man was at a loss for words. Even Xiao Xiao couldn’t help rolling his eyes.

Zheng Qing thickened his face, ignoring the expressions of his two companions, and explained: ”It should have been one hundred and twenty jade coins, but because of ’that incident’, the Wandering Wizard charged a ten jade coin public relations fee, so we only got one hundred and ten.”

Even though he was vague, everyone present knew what ’that incident’ referred to.

”Have you thought about how to spend this money?” Zhang Ji Xin on the other side also joined in: ”Old Yao hasn’t arrived yet, we can discuss now... Although not everyone is here, we can still discuss.”

”I suggest we take eight or ten jade coins and book ’Yota’ restaurant to invite classmates and professors for a gathering... After all, happiness shared is double the fun.” The fat man quickly proposed his opinion.

Zheng Qing was not surprised by the fat man’s suggestion, his opinions always revolved around eating and drinking.

”We can treat them, but a budget of ten jade coins is too high!” The scholarship student shook his head: ”My yearly scholarship is only ten jade coins... I remember the last time Tang Dun invited everyone to the Wandering Bar, it only cost three or four jade coins.”

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Xiao for confirmation.

”We could let Tang Dun handle this, he has experience.” Xiao Xiao nodded, adding: ”We could give the funds to him... In addition, he still has some of the class’s team-building funds which could help save us some expenses.”

”What about you, Doctor? Do you have any suggestions?” The fat man looked at Xiao Xiao as he asked.

”I have no opinions, I’ll go with whatever you guys decide.” Xiao Xiao lowered his head and resumed flipping through his notebook.

”What about the Elder?”

”More than a hundred jade coins, that’s a large sum.” Zhang Ji Xin pinched his chin, pondering: ”I think the most important thing is to get a set of outfits for everyone... The Absolution hunting team should have its own team uniform. Look at Matthew, in their freshman competition, the vests they wore were so beautiful! And the Tail Snake hunting team, their dragon leather jackets are also very good!”

”Indeed.” The fat man agreed: ”After all, we are the hunting team that won first place in the freshman competition, we can’t continue to be in such poor shape.”

”Hmm, Absolution does need a proper set of hunting clothes.” Zheng Qing nodded, nudging Xiao Xiao: ”Take note of this, we’ll discuss it further in our next full team meeting.”

Xiao Xiao sighed, stuck his brush in his mouth for a quick lick, and made a quick note in an empty space.

”Apart from the hunting clothes, there are many other necessities.” Seeing his suggestions being considered, the red-faced male wizard got excited and began listing them one by one: ”For instance, a team flag. The ones with area concealment effects at the Four Seasons Pavilion are all priced at more than ten jade coins; team badges, many famous hunting teams have a constant protection magic on their hunting badges, like our school badge and your Merlin Medal; besides, we need to intensify training, leasing hunting grounds, purchasing demonic game, hiring appropriate coaches - the freshman competition has ended, we can’t keep troubling the Judgement hunting team.”

Listening to Zhang Ji Xin’s endless suggestions, Zheng Qing’s mouth twitched and he subconsciously touched the grey cloth bag in his arms.

A few minutes ago, he thought that the hundred and something jade coins in his arms were a large sum, filled with pride. But the truth was, it’s just because he didn’t know how to spend money that he thought that a hundred jade coins were a lot. For someone like Elder Zhang Da, who is from a noble clan, with just a little thought those shiny jade coins would flow out like water, and it didn’t seem wasteful.

Xiao Xiao looked up, giving the scholarship student a pitiful glance.

”What are you planning?” The Doctor interrupted Zhang Ji Xin’s incessant plan - the red-faced male wizard had outlined the construction plan of the Absolution hunting team four years into the future – and signaled Zheng Qing to tell his own ideas: ”Although you’ve counted this money as a group fund, everyone knows that this money is mostly earned by you. So, your opinion is the most important.”

Hearing Xiao Xiao’s words, Zhang Ji Xin reluctantly closed his mouth, and also nodded in agreement.

”Me?” The scholarship student sniffed, speaking uncertainly: ”I haven’t thought about it yet. But I think we can lease a small shop in Beta Town with this money.... on one hand, we can sell some things we make in our free time in the store, like my talisman, the fat man’s potions, and Lin Guo’s alchemy products, so we can have a continuous income stream; on the other hand, it can also provide us with an external base, so we don’t have to always squeeze into our tiny dorm for our gatherings.”

Xiao Xiao listened to Zheng Qing’s suggestion and slowly raised his eyebrows.

”Is this your own idea?” He interrupted and asked.

”Of course!” Zheng Qing found it somewhat inexplicable: ”If it’s not mine, whose would it be?”

”And also Miss Jiang.” The fat man muttered quietly.

Understanding dawned on Zhang Ji Xin’s face: ”So, you went to look at houses on Pedestrian Street with Jiang Yu after selling your hunting loot at the Wandering Bar this afternoon, didn’t you? What about Elena!”

Upon hearing that, Zheng Qing instantly turned pale, his eyes darting around fearfully.

”Don’t panic, Elena isn’t here today... Jiang Yu is at the front studying, she can’t hear us.” Xin Fat Man immediately cooed soothingly.

”You’re mad!” Zheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief, glaring fiercely at the red-faced male wizard: ”Seriously, if you were to talk like that in our neighborhood, you wouldn’t have lived to adulthood!”

”My bad,” Zhang Ji Xin shrugged, his face innocent: ”I’m just making some reasonable guesses based on the facts.”

Zheng Qing ignored his strange tone.

He knew that he absolutely couldn’t engage with such topics, otherwise, the more he said, the more excited they would get.

Fortunately, without waiting for him to figure out how to change the topic, the stick figure at the door let out a shrill yell:

”Get back to your seats!”

”Old Yao is here!”

”If you don’t want to come on stage and read your ear-grating weekly reports, get back to your seats now!”
