Chapter 249 Tony Teacher, Suck in the Pink?
Zhang Menglong had sent Professors Chen Xin and Han Jinyu home late. Not only had they determined the whereabouts of the artifacts, but they had also roughly discussed the matters concerning the museum expansion.
As the person returning the artifacts, the nation would absolutely respect Zhang Menglong's opinions. After all, this was a minor matter; everything was within Huaxia—what difference did it make where they were kept?
As for the specific details, Zhang Menglong directly handed them over to Hong Yi.
Perhaps it was because she had been too tired these past few days, but by this time, Lu Yiyao had already fallen asleep. Zhang Menglong carefully closed the door and then walked into the study.
"Wow, I've got 300 Cred Points!" Zhang Menglong was somewhat surprised. This time he could learn not just one or two skills, but he might even unlock another teacher!
"Gou Dan, I want to go to Super God Academy!" Zhang Menglong communicated to Gou Dan telepathically. Moments later, the magical entrance appeared once again, and with full anticipation, Zhang Menglong stepped into the school.
"What the hell," Zhang Menglong smelled a burnt stench as soon as he walked into the school, as though something had been scorched, "Is someone actually playing with fire in my school?"
"No way!" Zhang Menglong immediately ruled out the possibility. Only Tony, the teacher, could still move freely in the entire school. As a teacher at Super God Academy, it wasn't permitted to do anything that violated the school rules.
The first school rule was to obey the headmaster absolutely. The second was to avoid any actions that would destroy the school, except under special circumstances. Surely, Tony wouldn't break the school rules himself, would he?
Super God Academy was a magical place. The entire school was like a living life form that could not only change the architectural style and location at will, but if Zhang Menglong wanted to go somewhere, a single thought would immediately take him to the corresponding place.
"Gou Dan, where is Tony?" Zhang Menglong asked.
"Teacher Tony is in the pharmaceutical academy," Gou Dan replied.
"The pharmaceutical academy? Why is he, a mechanical engineering and artificial intelligence part-time teacher, not properly hammering out code at Stark Industries and instead going over to the pharmaceutical academy?"
Zhang Menglong was curious as he summoned the teleportation gate of the Super God Academy.@@novelbin@@
A circular light gate appeared in front of Zhang Menglong, he stepped into it, and as the light gate faded, so did Zhang Menglong from his original location.
When he reappeared, he found himself in a quiet valley. In this valley was an endless field of medicine, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.
"Gou Dan, who is the teacher of this pharmaceutical academy?" Zhang Menglong asked, "Is it Shennong or Sun Simiao?"
"It's the Pharmacist Venerable, Yao Chen."
"Damn!" Zhang Menglong slapped his forehead abruptly, "Of course! Yao Chen is also in the school!"
"Then these things..."
"These are the medicinal fields cultivated by Teacher Yao Chen, from first-grade spiritual medicines to divine-grade ones. They are his hard work from the past."
"Why would Tony be here," Zhang Menglong looked curiously around and finally found Tony near a somewhat dilapidated cottage.

He was sitting on the ground, with what appeared to be a generator beside him, and in front of him was something bubbling like a hot pot. Next to him, there was a pile of various colorful vegetables.
"Teacher Tony, so you're here!" Zhang Menglong walked towards Tony.
"Headmaster, you're finally back!" The moment Tony saw Zhang Menglong, he burst into tears and snot, lying on the ground and hugging Zhang Menglong's legs.
"What the hell? Has he gone mad?" Zhang Menglong looked at Tony in disbelief. Was this still the superhero from the Avengers Alliance?
"Teacher Tony, it's only been three days, you can't miss me that much, can you?" Zhang Menglong laughed.
"Headmaster, I'm nearly starving to death. Although we serve the Super God Academy, you've got to at least let us eat our fill!"
"What, you guys need to eat too?" Zhang Menglong was somewhat surprised.
"Principal, we're humans! Living, breathing humans!" Tony suddenly found himself at a loss for words. "Although we've been bound by Super God Academy and won't die as long as the school remains intact, the feeling of being hungry without the possibility of death is truly unbearable!"
"Hahaha, my apologies, my apologies, I almost forgot to treat you as humans!" Zhang Menglong laughed embarrassingly. "According to the sci-fi novels I used to read, the life forms in those systems didn't need to eat."
"How about this, I'll have the chef prepare something for you to eat in a bit," Zhang Menglong said curiously as he looked at the boiling pot. "What are you cooking?"
Tony sighed, "Principal, since I was captured by Super God Academy nearly two months ago, there's been nothing else here, so I could only dig up some wild vegetables from this broken-down herb garden to eat. These things are both bitter and hard to eat. If this continues, I might end up developing a stomach disease!"
"Wild vegetables?" Zhang Menglong walked over to the pile of wild vegetables and casually picked up a plant he had never seen before, scanning it with the principal's ring.
Scientific name: Evergreen Spirit Vine
Origin: Dou Qi Continent
Grade: Eighth Grade Spiritual Medicine
Note: Essential ingredient for the Eighth Grade elixir Bone-Marrowing Blood-Integrating Pill, matures once every ten thousand years, extremely rare spiritual medicine.
"Damn!" Zhang Menglong was completely stunned. What wild vegetables? This is Eighth Grade Spiritual Medicine! On the Dou Qi Continent, this stuff is priceless, unattainable even if you have the money. A single Evergreen Spirit Vine could drive countless Battle Venerables and even stronger experts crazy.
Such a priceless treasure, and yet here it was being boiled and eaten as if it were mere wild vegetables by Teacher Tony?
"Blood Essence Demon Fruit, Dragon Roar Grass, Yin God Flower, Fire Yang Spirit Leaf..."
Zhang Menglong's gaze swept over those "wild vegetables," and he realized they were all top-grade herbs well known to all on the Dou Qi Continent.
"Glump!" Zhang Menglong couldn't help but clench his fist. "Prodigal son, really a prodigal son! I really freaking want to hammer you to death!"
"Principal, if you need to punish a teacher of the school, you only need to issue a punishment order," Gou Dan reminded.
"Punish him for me, punish him harshly! To actually use such top-grade spiritual medicine to make soup, I'm not even as extravagant as you are!"
"Boom!" Amidst the thunder in the sky, a black vortex actually appeared among the colorful clouds, and a bolt of lightning descended, instantly charring Tony to a crisp yet leaving him tender on the inside.
"Isn't that a bit too harsh?" Zhang Menglong was a bit worried. "He's not going to die, is he?"
"Don't worry, Principal, he won't die, at most it'll just be a bit painful," Gou Dan said.
Sure enough, the injuries on Tony's body began to heal at a pace visible to the naked eye, and within just a few seconds, he was as good as new. However, his face bore a hint of fear, as if he had been truly intimidated by Zhang Menglong's method.
"From now on, without my permission, you absolutely must not recklessly consume any plant in the school!" Zhang Menglong commanded.
"Yes, Principal," Tony said with lingering fear, though he knew he wouldn't die, the penetrating fear of being struck by lightning was all too real.
"You have something to say?" Zhang Menglong said, noting Tony's hesitant manner.
"Principal, I really haven't eaten for so long, could I have something to eat now? I'm truly starved," Tony pleaded.
Zhang Menglong sighed. You can't be too heartless, right? Man is iron and food is steel; he couldn't possibly act like a capitalist vampire.
"So late at night, what to eat?" Zhang Menglong's eyes lit up. "Teacher Tony, fancy a taste of rice noodle soup?"
"Huh?" Tony was taken aback.
"It's Huaxia's fine culinary delight, luosifen—ranked just behind spicy strips and milk tea. Want to give it a try?"
