Chapter 117: From a high vantage point
Zheng Qing didn't get angry with Xin Fat because he was cheap.
If you have to be angry because of this little thing, then Zheng Qing doesn't have to do anything else when he sees the sky, he is all angry. In contrast, discussing the recent riots in Linzhong Lake with his friends attracted Zheng Qing's attention more.
Although it was a riot, up to now, the overall situation has remained at the stage of fighting and shouting slogans. Zheng Qing heard that some students of Alpha College called on the Fish-Man Tribe to march with Alpha students on campus to protest the Dan Hag Circuit Court's interference with the Fish-Man Tribe's laws and the unfair treatment of Alpha by Jiuyou Academy.
But these 'heard' are only 'heard', and Zheng Qing has not seen them in reality.
Carefully calculated, the riot in Linzhong Lake is actually inextricably linked with Zheng Qing, Nicholas and others.
At the beginning of last semester, Nicholas served as a guide to lead the freshmen to visit the school, when Liu Feifei's schoolbag fell into Linzhong Lake, which caused conflicts between students and fishmen. Fortunately, of course, there were many students, and the troublesome fish-man was out of the water again, so in the end, the fish-man took a step back and didn't make a big deal.
Later, it was also the night patrol of Linzhong Lake, Zheng Qing and Lin Guo followed the old man of Verne, and broke the fishman in the forest to make a private deal with the black-robed wizard, and Zheng Qing also used unskilled magic to fight the fish-man - the fish-man was Andrew's Iseni of their hunting team, and the black-robed wizard was Mack King Seprano of Alpha Academy.
The second incident was eventually interrupted by the unusual death of a kappa on the shores of the lake.
Whether it is the first thing or the second thing, when you look at it carefully, there is a shadow of today's riots.
Unlike Xin Fatzi, Xiao Xiao has different opinions on Zheng Qing's so-called 'unified position'.
"It's not our position that unites, it's our ass. β
Xiao Xiao replied to Zheng Qing with a very vulgar but straightforward sentence: "Because we are all wizards, and we are all wizards of the Nine Beings Academy...... As the so-called ass decides the position. If Dylan were here, or if you threw that question to Matthew Cullen and Andrew Taylor, I'm afraid you'd get a different answer. β
It's not rough, it's true.
The reason why the students in the ward are sitting on the side of the patrol team with a clear banner is probably because they are students of the Nine You Academy. A few days ago, they had a meeting on a similar stance.
Speaking of this, the fat man suddenly looked left and right, and then lowered his voice and whispered to several companions: "I heard that the academy is going to re-sign a legal treaty with the fish-man tribe to clarify the judicial scope of the fish-man tribe, and at the same time increase the extradition clause after the fish-man commits a crime...... I don't know if it's true. β
"How do you know about this kind of thing?" Zheng Qing looked at him suspiciously: "I'm afraid it's not a rumor." β
"It's definitely not a rumor!" The fat man's tone suddenly raised a few degrees, and then he lowered it again as if he was frightened: "Two days ago, when the editorial department of the school magazine held a regular meeting, this matter was ventilated, and everyone was asked to write some manuscripts and try the public opinion climate. β
Zhang Jixin pursed his lips, his face full of disdain.
"This little thing has to be shrunk, it's really not as good as the generation. As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing the strong muscles on his arms: "I think that when the nameless principal was here, he would send a notice when he encountered a problem, and no one dared to be angry." How is it like now? The crime problem of a fish-man tribe has to be led by the damn school newspaper...... It's really not as good as the generation!"
"That's right, what generation are you?" Xin Fatzi naturally couldn't listen to others hacking his circle, rolled his eyes, and said in a strange manner: "Oh, it's 'listen to my brother' again!"
Seeing that the two were about to make a fuss again, Zheng Qing felt a headache and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it.
"Stop, stop!" he raised his voice slightly, ending the discussion as the captain of the hunting team: "All in all, looking at the essence through the phenomenon, the main contradiction of this riot is actually the conflict between the Nine Talents Academy and the Alpha Academy, and the fish-man tribe, as a secondary aspect of the contradiction, has the possibility of turning into the main contradiction in a short period of time...... But on the whole, it should be irrelevant, right? β
Thanks to the three years of basic philosophical knowledge in high school, his summary is a little bit high-level, so that he will not show timidity in front of Dr. Xiao.
Then he shifted the conversation to another direction.
"Speaking of which, if something really happens to Alpha's side, will our spring outing be canceled?" he looked at Xiao Xiao with expectant eyes, hoping that the doctor could give an affirmative answer - given the complexity and busyness of this time, Zheng Qing really didn't want to waste a whole day outside the school, looking at those uninspired scenery.
For the time he had, he preferred to stay in Professor Montella's lab, or take the hunting team to search the corners of the academy a few more times, maybe solve his reddening eyes, or catch the faceling.
No matter how bad it is, helping Liu Feifei find the escaped little snake is also a meritorious thing.
"Not really. Xiao Xiao shook his head, brutally breaking Zheng Qing's illusion: "The spring outing of the Forbidden Demon Festival is a traditional project of Jiuyou Academy, even during the Lich War, it has not been terminated, not to mention some naΓ―ve children shouting slogans. β
"Alas," Zheng Qing sighed deeply: "It seems that if you don't want to participate in this hellish spring outing, the only hope is Professor Montella." β
He felt that if Professor Montella issued a letter of call, it would most likely keep him in the lab for the whole day.
Next to him, Fat Xin suddenly pulled out a large piece of grid paper from his watch, spread it out, and said something in his mouth:
"According to the chart, my fortune peaked in the last few days of the winter holidays, and the overall line is currently in a downward channel, with no signs of bottoming out at all...... Both the seven-day and 13-day moving averages have also fallen below ...... The whole trend is still some way from the previous support level......"
"What are you talking about?!" Zheng Qing said in surprise as he looked at the line drawing drawn by the fat man on the grid paper.
"Oh," said the fat man, with a grim face, "I mean, I've been unlucky lately, and it's not suitable for traveling." Could you please also help me get a fake note in Professor Montella's lab so I don't have to go on a spring outing for the Forbidden Spirit...... I still have a few manuscripts left to finish. β
The young student slanted at his roommate and sneered.
"If your luck is bad, you have to walk more and adjust your luck. He simply rejected the fat man's request: "Professor Montella, you also know, and her temper is not much better than that of Lady Emma." I'm glad I got a letter of transfer...... Still want to deceive? I'm afraid it's not Shi Lezhi!"
