109: Chapter 109: Internal Strife (Extra for Alliance Leader Dong You Ling Yu) (Part 5) 109: Chapter 109: Internal Strife (Extra for Alliance Leader Dong You Ling Yu) (Part 5) Su Ming looked at the price and let out a long sigh, thinking it was outrageously expensive.
He finally understood why the Thirteenth District had been locked in an endless dispute with Lovosk Interstellar Heavy Industry until now.
An order for one Gun Knight and five Fla Knights would cost at least six hundred million Federation dollars, and it could be even more expensive since the academy store might offer them a bit cheaper.
With so much money, he would be at odds with Lovosk Interstellar Heavy Industry as well.
Su ming stroked his chin and thought carefully about the cha-related matters.
At five hundred million, the price was really out of reach for him.
However, Su Ming quickly rembered sothing he had seen last night in his grandfather’s study: the financial summary report of the family conglorate, which clearly stated that a Third Generation cha·Wind Chaser was given to the Imperial Court Sect for free.
Su Ming closed his eyes and visualized that financial summary report in his mind, instantly pinpointing the amount of the loss.
Then Su Ming opened his eyes and spoke decisively to himself,
“Three hundred million Federation dollars!”
Su Ming exhaled softly, it seed like his family could indeed produce third generation chas.
Judging by the selling price, its performance probably couldn’t match that of the Gun Knight, but it was a third generation machine nonetheless.
After careful consideration, he thought it would be stupid not to use available platforms and resources.
He’d rather buy his family’s chas than any other third-generation chas.
Perhaps making his grandfather happy, he could purchase them at production cost.
If he were even luckier, his grandfather might even give him one for free.
Although the chances were slim, it was still possible.
After all, his grandfather had spared a third generation machine for his incompetent cousin.
With this in mind, Su Ming turned to head ho.
But he only took a few steps before stopping.
His expression changed several tis, and finally, he sighed and said to himself,
“Forget it, I’ll go back after so ti has passed!”
Su Ming felt the chances of getting a free ride were not high, with the Su Family having incurred losses this year.
Even if his grandfather agreed, his uncles and aunts would definitely object, likely raising a huge fuss.
Moreover, he wasn’t the only one who was admitted to Imperial Court Academy this year; Su Bin had also made it, and he was also in the cha Departnt.
If there was to be any free ride, he couldn’t play favorites.
Therefore, purchasing at cost would be the best outco.
But a three hundred million-dollar cha, with production costs probably over a hundred million at the very least, the money he had was simply not enough.
Thinking this, Su Ming decided to postpone his return ho, choosing instead to stay at the school, get to know the different areas, and think about how to make money.
After all, asking his family for money was not his style.
So Su Ming headed towards the comprehensive building to retrieve his clothes and then return to his dormitory.
…
Two days later.
Level 3 of the Imperial Court Academy Library.
Rows and rows of bookshelves, neatly arranged, lined the area.
Along the walls were recessed bookshelves filled with dense collections of books.
At a glance, the display held at least a million volus.
Right now, Su Ming, holding a book titled The Complete Structure of Chilami, was leaning on the edge of a shelf, engrossed in reading.
Each book in the library had been carefully selected, and their quality was excellent.
Buzz buzz~
At that mont, Su Ming’s phone in his pocket started to vibrate.
He frowned, stopped reading, and pulled out his phone to check.
It was from an unknown number.
Su Ming walked to a quiet corner and answered the call, lowering his voice to ask,
“Hello, who is this?”
“Class leader, it’s Rhein.”
Rhein’s voice ca through from the other end of the line.
Su Ming was slightly taken aback.
Although he and Rhein were bunkmates, they hadn’t really interacted much over the past days, rely exchanging polite greetings upon seeing each other.
“What’s up?”
“Where are you?
If it’s convenient, could you co back to the dorm?
We can talk in person.”
Rhein spoke politely.
“Okay!”
Su Ming agreed simply and then hung up the phone.
He closed the book he was holding and walked over to a bookshelf to neatly put it away before leaving the library.
A short while later, Su Ming returned to Dormitory 301.
The mont he entered, his expression subtly changed.
The already small dormitory was packed with classmates, and even girls like Angel had co.
“Class president, you’ve arrived.”
Angels and the other girls greeted him politely.
“Um, what’s going on here?”
Su Ming asked calmly, knowing that it couldn’t be good news with so many students gathered.
“Let explain!
Although there are still more than twenty days before the official start of term, teachers from other classes have already started teaching, and we haven’t heard anything from ours!”
Rhein said angrily.
“That’s right, others have started their classes; we can’t just keep waiting.”
“Exactly, while everyone else is working hard, we’re like headless flies.”
…
The other students chid in one after another.
Hearing this, Su Ming understood the situation.
To put it bluntly, while other classes had started ‘grinding’, their class hadn’t budged.
Their teacher was already subpar, and now the gap was widening, hence the urgency among everyone.
“What do you need to do?”
Su Ming looked at Rhein and the others, still calm.
“We plan to find the teacher and have her take responsibility.
As the class president, you should be leading this.”
Rhein explained, looking at Su Ming.
“Alright, do you know Ms.
Mia’s phone number?”
Su Ming sighed, knowing the class president role ca with endless tasks.
But he couldn’t just ignore the situation, especially since convincing Ms.
Mia to start classes early could benefit him as well.
“We do, but it’s no use.
She doesn’t pick up the phone.”
“Then where do we find her?”
“Don’t worry, I’ve already found out which staff dormitory our teacher lives in.
We can go find her together.”
Rhein said decisively.
“Good, let’s go.”
Su Ming gave Rhein another look, impressively, this guy had prepared everything thoroughly.
Rhein and the others didn’t waste any words and led the way out.
….
Shortly thereafter.
Su Ming and the others arrived at the Imperial Court Academy’s faculty residential area.
Compared to those lousy student dormitories, the faculty buildings here were luxury.
Each was a western-style house with independent suites, equipped with large balconies.
Even in the center of the buildings, there was a garden filled with flowers and green plants.
“It’s in that building ahead, Room 201.”
Rhein pointed to a dormitory building in front.
“Let’s go!”
Su Ming led them towards Ms.
Mia’s dormitory room.
They quickly reached Room 201, and Su Ming rang the doorbell first.
Ding-dong~
However, when the doorbell stopped ringing, no one ca to open the door.
