Chapter 495 A Feeling of Some Resentment
“I don’t think so.” Xu Ning said calmly, “I think they, like the Church of Jesus who have not yet stepped forward to stop us from selling alcohol in this absurd way, are all compassionate and are silently helping those who have been helpless for many years in their own way.”
Although everyone felt that Xu Ning's words seemed a bit off, the atmosphere was already so tense that they felt it would be a shame not to applaud him.
The cheer, "Well said!" was less enthusiastic than the previous one.
But surprisingly, one of the shouts was particularly loud.
"Well said, I have to support that."
This sound immediately drew everyone's attention from Xu Ning to that person.
The white lion emblem on his chest suggests that this person is likely a student of the Myo-sastra school affiliated with the Shahavara Academy.
"You, a Liyue wine merchant, have such awareness. I can't let you look down on the Sumerians. I'll buy this jar of wine, and I'll borrow a bowl while I'm at it."
Upon hearing that he also wanted a bowl, everyone immediately turned their attention to him.
What's wrong with you?! You think you can just stand here and drink like that because you know you're rich?
Xu Ning was also a little puzzled, so she took out a porcelain bowl and handed it to him.
The student from the Miaolun School asked Xu Ning to help him hold the wine jar and slowly pour out a bowl of wine, then pointed towards the free clinic area.
"Having spent so much money, I have to keep one bowl to taste. The rest can be taken over there and distributed; it's my way of doing my part... uh... most of my effort for the Sumeru people!"
Xu Ning and the people around him burst into laughter. This guy from the "Wonderful Theory School" was quite a character!
After the staff moved the jar of wine to the clinic, the student finished the wine in his bowl.
"It tastes really good. I'm thinking of buying another jar, but my wallet can't handle it."
The student put down the bowl with some regret and asked Xu Ning, "Let's just let it go this time. The price should be back to normal by the time you bring the wine over again, right?"
Xu Ning nodded and smiled, "Of course. I hope the geniuses of the Life Theory School can find a way to cure the Demon Scale Disease as soon as possible. Then I will lower the price of the wine so that everyone can drink to their heart's content."
Those students from the Su Lun School watched as the price on the price board soared again to "", making it completely unaffordable for them.
However, they were still unwilling to give up because Xu Ning never gave them a direct answer, so they asked him the same question again.
"Why can't we sell wine to the Su Lun school?"
Xu Ning turned to look at the students and smiled, "If the Su Lun Sect were allowed to buy wine, what do you plan to do with it?"
do what?
Such expensive materials are naturally used for elemental reactions and changes.
Fortunately, the young student himself reacted quickly. With the brilliant argument of that school of thought preceding him, he couldn't very well say that he was wasting someone else's life-saving wine by doing experiments.
"Well... naturally, it's to do research, hoping to find out exactly what substance is at work. If we find it, we can create something specifically to counteract the Demon Scale Disease,"
Xu Ning shook his head slightly, "I'm just afraid you'll do this, using my wine to conduct such dangerous experiments. If it yields positive results, that's fine, but if it accidentally produces the opposite..."
The students were at a loss for words and could only give up in frustration.
In truth, Xu Ning still harbored some lingering reservations.
Xu Ning was still somewhat worried about the geniuses nurtured in the academy, such as Sumeru.
Xu Ning had no idea whether his wine would fall into their hands and whether they would find a way to counteract it through elemental reactions.
The relationship between myself and the Sumeru Teaching Academy is very delicate, and no one can say for sure what will happen in the future.
It's better to hold back a little.
