Li Xueting and Mu Guoguo realized that something was amiss when they rushed back to the Lingtian extraction site. There were too many Lingtian extraction sites this time.
If it were in the past, they would still have a chance even if they were late. It was impossible for so many Lingtian to be extracted all at once.
"Guo 'er, something's not right. We might have been set up!"
Li Xueting narrowed her eyes.
The more she thought about what happened in the morning, the more she felt that something was amiss.
After all, they were not ordinary people. When they encountered danger, they would subconsciously avoid it. However, they were caught in the act in the morning.
"You're saying that someone did it on purpose this morning!"
Although Mu Guoguo was naturally a little dull, she was not stupid. She also reacted at this time.
"That's right. It seems that we've all been set up."
Li Xueting said with an ugly expression.
Anyone who was set up would be unhappy. She was the same.
"I'll get someone to investigate!"
Mu Guoguo said angrily.
Soon, the two of them found out through their family's influence that it was Zhang Haojie's doing!
After realizing that something was amiss, they immediately contacted Ou Shaotian.
They informed him of the situation.
That night, after Ou Shaotian and Yun Duo returned, they gathered in the cafeteria for a meeting.
"Due to our carelessness at the beginning, we were set up. Now, 90% of the Lingtian has fallen into Zhang Haojie's hands!"
Li Xueting took the lead to explain the situation.
"Don't worry. Let's talk while we eat!"
Ou Shaotian picked up his chopsticks and gestured for everyone to eat. Then, he said again, "Zhang Haojie's methods are clearly against the rules. I'll look for the dean later!"
Now that they had contracted the cafeteria, they had a cooperative relationship with the dean. Now, there was a problem with the supply of ingredients.
Ou Shaotian felt that they should look for the dean first.
"I don't think there's much hope. Although Zhang Haojie's actions are against the rules, there's no evidence. The dean has no reason to intervene. Everything depends on evidence."
Li Xueting said as she ate.
However, after being schemed against, he felt that his appetite was not good, and the hotpot was not delicious anymore.
"I'll look for the dean after I finish eating. No matter what, I have to give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll think of another way!"
Ou Shaotian said as he ate.
He wasn't too worried. There were always more ways than difficulties. There would always be a way.
"Then you should go and look for the dean first. If it doesn't work, we'll think of other ways!"
Li Xueting nodded.
Before the matter was resolved, she couldn't be happy. She and Guo Guo were in charge of the spiritual plant garden, but something happened in the area they were in charge of.
After dinner, Ou Shaotian went to look for the director alone.
"Greetings, Principal!"
In the director's office, Ou Shaotian met Jiangshan He once again.
"Why are you suddenly looking for me in the middle of the night? Did something happen?"
Jiangshan He asked curiously.
After all, Ou Shaotian didn't come here without a reason. Ou Shaotian came too suddenly.
"There's indeed something. It's related to the canteen. Zhang Haojie used some tricks and rented out most of the Lingtian. I reckon there might be a problem with the supply of vegetables."
Ou Shaotian said aloud.
Seasoned spiritual fruits weren't as much of a problem as vegetables.
But vegetables were different. The human body needed a balance of nutrients. Vegetables had to be eaten every day. It was okay to skip them occasionally, but it was definitely not okay to skip them for a long time.
"Let me ask what's going on first!"
Jiangshan He didn't give Ou Shaotian an answer immediately. Instead, he called the director of the spiritual plant garden and asked.
After understanding what was going on, he said again, "Although Zhang Haojie used some tricks, he didn't break the rules. Even I can't get back those Lingtian rentals."
Hearing this answer, Ou Shaotian wasn't surprised. In fact, he had already expected it. After all, the Zhang family was quite powerful.
Within the rules, no one could do anything to them.
"Then can the director tell me how the Lingtian is made?"
Ou Shaotian asked.
The Lingtian in the spiritual plant garden were all from the college. The problem this time was already very obvious. If they wanted to solve it completely, they could only make their own Lingtian.
"This is simple. This is the Spirit Gathering Array for building the Lingtian. It's similar to the Spirit Gathering Array for the fishing ground. You can take a look."
Jiangshan He directly used his authority and sent the method of setting up the Spirit Gathering Array to Ou Shaotian.
"Thank you!"
Ou Shaotian nodded.
Then he let the radar scan and record it directly. He could go back and build a Lingtian that belonged to their Baiyun Restaurant.
In fact, if he wanted the array, he could go to the Lingtian in the spiritual plant garden to scan it. However, since he met Jiangshan He, he was too lazy to go there again.
The next day, Ou Shaotian left the college alone and went to the Nine Dragons Chamber of Commerce to see Xu Youfu again.
"Big Fatty Xu, I need your help to recycle some things."
Ou Shaotian said aloud.
Building a Lingtian required a lot of Spirit Stones to set up the array. It would take too long to dig it out at the bottom of the sea, so he could only sell some things.
But fortunately, he had robbed Long Xiaoxia and the others the day before yesterday and had a good harvest. Among them, he had obtained more than a thousand Spirit Stones and many other valuable things.
He had picked out the useful things. Many of the things that he didn't need could be exchanged for Spirit Stones.
"Hahaha, that's great. Follow me and see what good things there are!"
Xu Youfu said excitedly.
Soon, he brought Ou Shaotian to a VIP room.
Ou Shaotian didn't waste any time and directly took out some of the things that he needed to deal with. They were all good things.
There were hundred-year-old Spirit Fruits, expensive ores, and some equipment that he didn't need.
"These are all good things. This is also our first cooperation. I will give you the highest price!"
Xu Youfu said excitedly.
Although he was a businessman who prioritized profits, he valued Ou Shaotian's potential more. In his opinion, investing in a genius would bring more benefits.
"Thank you!"
Although Ou Shaotian knew Xu Youfu's purpose, he still thanked him.
In the end, this batch of goods was sold for more than 1,500 low-grade Spirit Stones. In addition to the Spirit Stones on him, he already had more than 2,000 low-grade Spirit Stones.
"Brother, if you have good things to sell in the future, remember to look for me. I will give you the highest price!"
When they parted, Xu Youfu personally sent Ou Shaotian to the door.
"Don't worry, I will contact you if I have good things. I will leave first!"
Ou Shaotian said and left.
He was quite satisfied with this transaction. Now that he had more than 2,000 Spirit Stones on hand, it was enough for him to set up a Lingtian Spirit Gathering Array.
The next thing to do was to buy a suitable piece of land and transform it into a Lingtian.
This matter required the Li Family or the Mu Family.
Only the big local forces like them could buy a large piece of land permanently. Outsiders might not be able to buy it even if they had the money.
Therefore, the rest could only be left to Li Xueting and Mu Guoguo.
