What is the purpose of using an axe in Chapter 10

"Oh no, I accidentally broke this spoon. How much do I have to pay for it? Do you know?" Wang Shizi asked Han Jingjing beside him with a look of considerable frustration

Although feeling dissatisfied, Tang Hao ultimately did not dare to voice this thought. The remaining food was already limited, and coupled with this guy's pent-up frustration, he ate quickly. The food in the plate soon reached the bottom.

"It depends on how you choose to compensate!" Although Wang Shizi's words seemed somewhat evasive, Han Jingjing still earnestly began to advise this novice, "These types of spoons are sold at the supermarket near the entrance, for 10 yuan each. However, if you steal one or intentionally break it and are caught by the cafeteria staff, you will have to pay 15 yuan. Of course, if they don't notice and you take it directly, there won't be any issues. I know a few guys who have secretly taken these spoons from the cafeteria!"

... ...

Tang Hao was indeed the one with the most leftover food. By the time he finished eating, Xiao Pang and Wang Yu had naturally also completed their tasks. However, the three of them had not cleaned their plates as thoroughly as Wang Shizi had; there was still some food left. Nevertheless, Wang Shizi did not continue to say anything further.

Unlike when they arrived, the four of them walked back to the dormitory in silence, creating an unusually heavy atmosphere. Han Jingjing wanted to lighten the mood in the middle, but no one paid him any attention. Wang Shizi was still puzzled about whether his behavior was inappropriate, while Tang Hao and Wang Yu were still simmering with unresolved anger, leaving no room for conversation. After realizing that his attempts to speak were futile, Han Jingjing gave up and decided to let them be. After all, they were only temporarily staying together for the two days of the college entrance examination, and there might not be many opportunities to meet again in the future.

Although he was unclear about what caused Tang Hao to suddenly change his attitude and voluntarily sit down to finish the leftover food, he was also reflecting on whether he truly was, as Tang Hao had said, being overly intrusive. After all, he had just begun to navigate a new and unfamiliar environment. As the old man had said, he too needed to gradually explore how to interact with others and slowly adapt to this society that necessitated social engagement.

Thus, they returned to the dormitory in silence. As soon as Tang Hao and Wang Yu entered, they immediately pulled out their books and sat down at the desk, intending to read for a while before resting. It was not that they did not want to go out; rather, Chen Zeming had repeatedly instructed that all boarding students must return to their dormitories after dinner today and remain there until rest.

Han Jingjing suddenly let out a tragic scream, which naturally startled Tang Hao and Wang Yu, who were reviewing at the table. The two turned around and saw the scene where Young Master Wang was holding the axe, dodging the chubby boy who was pouncing towards him.

The words of the Crown Prince made the chubby boy beside him roll his eyes, not to mention the two fellows across from them, who had already deeply misunderstood the three good students of the Crown Prince. How could they believe that this was an accidental mistake? It was clearly intentional.

"Alright, we have finished eating now, can we go back to the dormitory?" After swallowing the last bite of food, Tang Hao casually pushed the plate away and muttered.

Han Jingjing took out his exercise book, preparing to make good use of the last night before the college entrance examination, hoping that Prince Wang would explain the difficult problems that had been troubling him. However, when he found the exercise book and turned around, he was nearly startled to the point of a heart issue. ... Right behind him, Prince Wang was actually pulling out a large, completely black axe from his big bag ...

The Crown Prince fell silent, and naturally, Han Jingjing had no objections to Wang Yu either. The four of them quickly stood up and walked out of the cafeteria, heading towards the dormitory. They were unaware that as the four of them disappeared from the cafeteria, the twisted spoon had once again drawn gasps of astonishment from those in the cafeteria.

Indeed, they are barbarians from the mountains! This was the sentiment that arose in Han Jingjing's mind at the first sight of the axe. Just by looking at the size of the axe, one could tell it was certainly not light. More importantly, this axe was clearly sharpened, with the blade reflecting the unique luster of metal. Indeed, they are barbarians from the mountains; no wonder they didn't throw punches in the cafeteria earlier. Judging by their stance, they were preparing to wield the axe in the dormitory. At that moment, the chubby boy even imagined a terrifying scene of Wang Shizi wildly swinging the axe at Tang Hao.

The crown prince did not pursue the meaning behind Wang Yu's obviously off-topic remarks, as he realized that he seemed to have caused trouble. A perfectly good spoon had been twisted into a lopsided spiral, and the spoon's mouth had already deformed, making it clear that it was no longer usable

Tang Hao, who was sulking and shoveling food into his mouth, secretly despised this behavior. In his view, Wang Shizi's actions were a typical case of being a hypocrite, clearly intending to damage public property while pretending to be careless about it. It was utterly disgusting.

Therefore, it is not surprising for him to be able to casually twist this spoon into a twisted shape. What frustrates him is that he should compensate for the damage to public property at its value. Upon realizing that the money he has on him is seemingly not as much as he imagined, and that it is not as durable as he thought, he feels a bit of a pinch.

At this point, it was not only Han Jingjing who was frightened; these two were equally terrified. There had been no shortage of discussions online about the tragic incidents that occurred in the dormitory, seemingly triggered by minor conflicts. Especially Tang Hao, whose face turned completely pale in an instant, directly cried out in a choked voice: "Isn't it just a bit of wasted food? Is it really necessary? Besides, haven't I already finished eating? I'm begging you, please don't kill me"

Upon having this thought, Han Jingjing immediately let out a miserable howl, casually tossing aside the exercise book in her hand, and suddenly lunged towards Wang Shizi, shouting loudly, "Hey, Wang Ge, is there anything that can't be discussed properly? Don't bring out the axe! From now on, we will all listen to you, won't that be fine?"

The education that the Crown Prince received from a young age was undoubtedly a model of self-discipline. Therefore, when he discovered that he had inadvertently crushed a spoon, his first reaction was one of absolute panic. This was not because it revealed his astonishing grip strength; in fact, the Crown Prince did not consider his strength to be remarkable at all. After more than ten years of logging, aside from the time spent learning in a half-asleep state and sleeping, he had to wield a nearly hundred-pound axe for most of the time. How could his grip and arm strength not be significantly greater than that of these sheltered flowers?

Oh! The Crown Prince nodded, and then, feeling quite pained, took out a ten-yuan bill from his pocket and pressed it down on the table with a twisted and deformed spoon. His thought was quite simple; secretly taking this spoon away was naturally impossible, as he could not bring himself to do such a thing. However, he also did not intentionally damage the spoon, so compensating for the spoon at market price was undoubtedly the best choice.
