Chapter 39: The Promise Storm

  (Collecting votes and likes~~ The big day is coming soon!!)

  Although many people still don't know what Lin Feng looks like, after all, there are quite a few people who recognize him.

  Just now, six young girls who had a crush on Lin Feng came over to confess to him, and seven or eight young nobles ran over to ask if Lin Feng was willing to be their personal bodyguard or guardian knight. Even two older students who looked like they were already in their twenties personally came over to see if the food Lin Feng ate was different from theirs.

  What made Lin Feng cry and laugh was a woman who was dressed in luxury, heavily made up, looking over 30 years old. She sat down beside him at some point, and brought her powdered face close to his eyes, throwing him a flirtatious glance before giggling and saying: "Little handsome guy, how many gold coins for one night?"

  ……

  For the above-mentioned people, Lin Feng immediately refused, especially the last beautiful woman who suddenly appeared out of nowhere - what a joke, although I'm a "dirty old man" mentally, but physically, I'm only eleven years old!

  Although children in this world mature earlier than those in Lin Feng's previous life, he thinks that eleven years old is still too early.

  In the end, Lin Feng could only "hide" in the encirclement of the three people and quickly finish the remaining food on his plate.

  Just as he was eating with his head down, he suddenly heard Alpha exclaim in surprise beside him: "Ah, Miss Annie, what are you looking for Lin Feng?"

  Lin Feng heard the sound and turned his head to look over, only to see Annie holding a small package in her hand, staring at him with an "evil" gaze.

  "Lin Feng, this time I'm here to fulfill my promise!"

  Annie pouted and said, then threw the package in her hand to Lin Feng in the circle, and turned around and left.

  Lin Feng took the bundle from her hand and immediately felt a weight in his palm. He didn't rush to open it, but instead stood up voluntarily and chased after Annie: "Wait a minute, Miss Annie."

  "What are you doing?" Annie was stopped by Lin Feng and turned around, her face indignant: "Your magic wand and ten times the gold coins of the same value as the magic wand are all in this package. I've inquired about that magic wand, its market price is 1,100 gold coins. There's also a storage crystal card with 10,000 gold coins inside this package, totaling 11,100 gold coins. You can count them yourself, if there's one less gold coin, I'll pay you ten times more!"

  The Mystic Crystal Card is a precious alchemy product, and its material value alone is not something that an ordinary person can afford. Its main purpose is to store gold coins, after all, gold coins also have weight. When the value of an item reaches an astonishing level, it's likely that even if you were to exchange it for physical gold coins, transporting them would be extremely complicated. For example, if Annie gave Lin Feng 11,000 gold coins and they were all exchanged for physical coins, the space and weight required would not be something she could carry alone.

  So, with the Empire's strong support, the alchemists finally produced magic crystal cards to store large amounts of gold coins, similar to the bank cards of Lin Feng's previous life. Of course, the physical gold coins were all stored in the commercial associations under the name of the Empire.

  With the Moe Crystal Card, a refining product that stores gold coins, it can be said that this world's financial system has matured.

  The Magic Crystal Card was well-received by many nobles as soon as it hit the market, of course, this was a very long time ago.

  Nowadays, the minimum storage of Magic Crystal Card is 10,000 gold coins. If it's less than 10,000 gold coins, it can only be exchanged for physical currency. After all, the production cost of Magic Crystal Card is also extremely high. Since the Magic Crystal Card has adopted a free system, it's not surprising that the minimum storage amount is adjusted to 10,000 gold coins.

  So, Mo Jing didn't need to carefully check the 10,000 gold coins in his card, he just needed to count the 1,000 gold coins in his bundle.

  As for why Annie didn't store the 1,000 gold coins in the magic crystal card as well, it's probably because she intentionally wanted to make it obvious that she had a total of 11,000 gold coins. After all, one magic crystal card is equivalent to 10,000 gold coins. If someone didn't believe Annie, they wouldn't need to go to the merchant guild to investigate the exact amount; they could just count it in front of her. And if they counted and found that there was even one coin missing, Annie's face would lose a lot!

  So Annie deliberately added a thousand gold coins in kind, which also fully demonstrated her confidence.

  Lin Feng would never be so childish as to think that Annie would deceive herself - what kind of identity would she have to deceive herself?

  And seeing a thousand gold coins in front of him, Lin Feng also understood Annie's childish intention.

  However, Lin Feng obviously had other ideas...

  "Miss Annie, you misunderstood."

  Lin Feng walked towards Annie while taking out his magic wand from the bundle, then without even looking at the bundle again, he directly handed it over to Annie. A solemn expression floated on his face: "Miss Annie, I think there's been a misunderstanding between us. Actually, I didn't have any intention of provoking you. I just wanted to prove myself. Since my goal has already been achieved, this matter can be considered closed. Moreover, 11,000 coins isn't a small amount. You should take it back. I'll just retrieve my magic wand and that's all. My intention is...I hope we can eliminate this misunderstanding."

  These words Lin Feng had already considered, actually, on the night of killing Scar Man, when Old Ba Te hinted to him with a sentence, he had already thought through the whole thing clearly, and then immediately broke out in a cold sweat...

  He admitted that he was too reckless, and he could imagine that the principal could have come forward to stop this matter. After all, as a duke, he himself, a commoner, took the initiative to provoke his daughter, which was an insult to his identity. Not to mention that he actually defeated Annie in the end. The reason why he didn't come forward to stop it was because he wanted to use this incident to give Annie motivation to continue practicing.

  It can be said that the dean has sacrificed his face for this matter!

  But he not only indirectly wiped out his face, but also made a name for himself in the college, and with just this reputation, his future prospects are already boundless. If he really accepted the 11,000 gold coins, it would be somewhat ungrateful!

  11,000 gold coins is not a small amount, enough for many people to live a good life, although this amount of gold coins may not be worth mentioning to the dean, but if Annie can take out 11,000 gold coins, then Robert must know!

  Because of this matter, Robert has already lost face, and to let him pay 11,000 gold coins again, even if he won't care about it, but at least in his heart, he won't feel very comfortable!

  Lin Feng knew that he had already gained fame, and that was enough. He understood the principle of knowing when to stop, and there was no conflict between him and the Dean Duke with the power of the Holy Land, so why would he want to offend him?

  Moreover, this 11,000 gold coins might not even be used by oneself. Rather than being greedy for these 11,000 gold coins, it's better to give them up and leave a good impression on the principal. In that case, one's life in the academy will at least be smooth sailing. Who knows, because of this matter, one might have left a good impression on the principal, and when encountering difficulties in the future, one might even receive some help from the principal.

  So, from any angle, Lin Feng had already decided not to want the 11,000 gold coins a long time ago. Now that he could retrieve his staff, he was already content in his heart. ——Although generally speaking, this staff wasn't even useful.

  But Annie, after hearing Lin Feng's words, was stunned for a moment. She stared at Lin Feng in a daze for a while, and her eyes gradually floated up with a hint of... annoyance!

  Her originally ugly face twisted, looking at Lin Feng's sincere face, a strong anger surged up from the bottom of her heart!!

  He proudly refused to fulfill his promise, what does that mean? Does he look down on me...... Not only did he defeat me fair and square and ruin my reputation, but he also wants to humiliate me in person......

  In an instant, Annie felt a strong sense of grievance in her heart. She suddenly and forcefully pushed away the package that Lin Feng handed over to her, loudly shouting at Lin Feng: "Lin Feng! I, Annie, am not someone who can't take losing!! You don't have to humiliate me like this!!!"
