Gluttonous Nature

Because she was on stage, Xu Nan didn't immediately focus too much on the Quest Card.

As requested by Zhang Yue, he gave a long speech, which was nothing more than a plea for everyone to work together.

Because it was much longer than the two sentences last time, in the eyes of others, it was undoubtedly a case of the man showing off in a subtle way.

We're all students in the same cohort. It's one thing for you to graduate early and get an outstanding student award, but now you're even here as a practical course instructor. Isn't that just showing off?

Everyone thought Xu Nan had changed her personality and become more low-key, but it turns out the main event was yet to come.

Actually, it's not Xu Nan's fault at all.

He only found out about the awards for outstanding students today. In order to motivate the students, Zhang Yue made him, Jiang Yuanchi, and the Salted Fish Three Brothers into outstanding role models.

As for the practical course instructor, it was only after Zhang Yue forced him to help that Xu Nan reluctantly agreed.

According to Zhang Yue's law, since the Riverbend incident, the higher authorities have learned a painful lesson and, in order to prevent the trainees from being in danger, have increased the number of practical course instructors in addition to the patrol personnel in the designated areas.

It usually involves several formal members working together to enhance the protection of the trainees.

To put it bluntly, Xu Nan is going to have to be a babysitter for these brats.

He was unhappy when he heard that, but Zhang Yue said that the Thousand Rays Society clearly stipulated that every formal member must fulfill this responsibility, it was only a matter of time.

Xu Nan thought about it carefully and finally agreed.

Since it's a mandatory task, it's better to finish it sooner rather than later, after all, I'm being paid by the government; and from another perspective, at least I know these kids in the Training Camp!

They'll work together more smoothly along the way.

And so this scene unfolded.

Xu Nan was surprised to find that, through a series of mistakes, she had actually accumulated more than 10,000 Activity Points for the month!

"So this is what it feels like to show off... It doesn't seem that hard after all!"

Xu Nan's newfound confidence stemmed from his renewed self-confidence after squeezing the Thirteenth Alchemy Center dry!

After all, the biggest advantage he gained from joining the Thousand Rays Society was the opportunity to interact with all sorts of professionals and accumulate points. The other Ron Sorcerer were scattered throughout the multiverse, and it was unlikely they had such favorable conditions as him.

The activity panel even has a dedicated status bar that has been refreshed.

[Number of Pretend-to-be-Cool Instances by 1]

[Rating: Excellent. A truly skilled imposter possesses this effortless and subtle technique; clearly, you've mastered it.]

[Activity Points:]

Xu Nan laughed as soon as she saw it.

The Thirteenth Alchemy Center really put a lot of effort into this event; they even have a special evaluation for every act of showing off.

However, Xu Nan was puzzled because the Activity Points.

He opened the details and found that apart from Song Cheng and a few other major contributors, the other students did not seem to have contributed many points to him.

Is it because my skill level is not high enough?

After taking a group photo with everyone, Xu Nan left the Training Camp's graduation ceremony with some questions in her mind.

At Lost Paradise, the headquarters of the Thirteenth Alchemy Center, many are on high alert.

"How was the effect?"

A female alchemist in a slit robe asked, holding a goblet.

"The effect is not bad; the subsystem specifically targeting Xu Nan is already working."

"This guy has an unparalleled advantage in farming points. If we don't punish him, the Fourth Alchemy Center will be a cautionary tale for us!"

"The 'Bragging Effect Diminishing Algorithm' that I specifically invented was to stop him from frantically showing off and racking up points among a large number of professionals! And it seems to be working!"

Sean was excited.

The others in the office breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, the Thirteenth Alchemy Center was under a lot of pressure taking over the task at the last minute. Because they didn't have time to come up with ideas for the activities, they simply copied the "Everyone Learns from the Lion King" theme that the Sixth Alchemy Center had carefully prepared to please the Lion King.

The Sixth Alchemy Center, which had inadvertently revealed its monthly activities ahead of time, was now in despair.

They never expected that you would even plagiarize your own people!

The Thirteenth Alchemy Center said, "Who told the Fourth Alchemy Center to collapse so quickly? We had no choice but to copy their work to explain ourselves to the Daily Council!"

Thus, the new monthly activities were born.

Moreover, as the leader of the Thirteenth Alchemy Center, Violet, with her extraordinary intelligence network, found out the culprit behind the disbandment of the Fourth Alchemy Center. She even planted a pawn in the Seventh Alchemy Center and obtained most of the information about Xu Nan!

Violet panicked after confirming Xu Nan's history of draining two alchemy centers dry.

Even though the Thirteenth Alchemy Center is large and powerful, it can't afford to be messed with like this!

Go and buy low-level materials? Don't be ridiculous, that's just a temporary fix, completely ineffective. She'd found out that when Xu Nan arrived at the Fourth Alchemy Center, he still had 300,000 points left!

Just then, many alchemists from the Fourth Alchemy Center resigned and were reassigned to the Thirteenth Alchemy Center, so she gathered them together.

She hoped that the experience of these people being defeated by Xu Nan would be helpful to the Thirteenth Alchemy Center.

At this point, someone stepped forward, naturally it was Sean; he was from the Fourth Alchemy Center and had also served as the deputy of the Daily Council's Special Investigations Division.

For Sean, this was an opportunity. He knew that Xu Nan had two powerful figures behind him, the Lion King and Luo Mang, so it was impossible for him to really mess with Xu Nan; it was probably impossible in his lifetime.

But it would be good if Xu Nan could suffer a setback.

He worked tirelessly, day and night, and finally developed a subsystem specifically for Xu Nan.

As a result, he lost a lot of hair.

"Lady Violet, I solemnly swear to you that I will stop this demon from extending its clutches into the activity warehouse of the Thirteenth Alchemy Center!"

Sean stared intently at the event system, his eyes never leaving it. "He won't be able to come up with anything interesting this month!"

Violet calmly finished her wine and said softly, "Comrade Sean, you are still young. Don't overwork yourself. You should take care of your hair and such."

Sean chuckled, rubbed his head, and a large clump of dry, yellow hair fell out, a heartbreaking sight.

He himself didn't care:

"I've been watching news from Earth lately, and they have a kind of magic there called 'I've become bald, and I've become stronger.'"

"I think that statement applies to me too."

"I won't rest until the event ends; I'll keep a close eye on this demon!"

Loud applause rang out in the Thirteenth Alchemy Center.

Everyone was moved by Comrade Sean's work ethic, and then everyone went home for coffee.

Mingcai officially started working, Xu Nan returned to Linxia City after leaving the Training Camp.

He originally wanted to have a serious talk with Xin'er, after all, he had seen her on the spaceship before, and it was one of the few times she had stepped out of her room in many years.

Unfortunately Xin'er's temper has become increasingly strange lately. When Xu Nan knocked on the door, she only said, "Go find your wings," and then fell silent.

Well, who would have thought that the joke that even the four wings didn't understand would be picked up by Xin'er, who was just listening in.

Xu Nan was extremely distressed.

Then he went to the Farming Garden to check on the planting.

It has to be said that Xu Nan's decision to vigorously develop agriculture was the right one. The Farming Garden has a magical sun, plenty of sunshine, and the climate can simulate various conditions, making it very suitable for planting.

The okra is growing well, and several acres of land look like they are about to be harvested.

Aside from the okra planted by Shi Fanglin for Lü Junyi, the rest were all planted by Lü Junyi himself, who gritted his teeth and had the dwarfs fill in the gaps... It's clear that men really can't resist being defiant. Xu Nan has seen the same thermos cup that Old Hai used in Junyi Ge's hand more than once these past few days, but she doesn't know if it's filled with goji berries.

On the other side, the rice is also growing very well.

The Imp Leader proudly told Xu Nan that productivity had increased, and with Hybrid Rice, everyone no longer had to worry about food.

When City Lord Xu came to provide guidance, all they were missing was to put up a banner proclaiming "10,000 catties per mu" (a unit of land area, approximately 667 kg per hectare).

Xu Nan was very satisfied with this. What was even more amazing was that since the dwarf demons started to eat rice as their main food, their reproduction rate had increased significantly. He even suspected that someone had thrown some fertilizer into the rice paddies.

Looking at the golden rice fields, Xu Nan sighed from the bottom of his heart: If the two worlds were to truly merge, Yuan Lao Xiansheng would be the most qualified to be crowned the God of Agriculture, wouldn't he?

The gods of other worlds will have to wait a little longer.

Unfortunately, these matters are not up to Xu Nan to decide; they also depend on the attitude of the world's will.

After touring the Farming Garden, Xu Nan prepared to visit the machinery workshop.

Just then, the City Management Captain came over carrying a dictionary.

She came to Xu Nan, humbly seeking his advice on some issues.

Upon closer listening, Xu Nan realized that Qin Lele, the lazy thief, had finally reached the point of advancing in his skills.

Her basic profession is a thief among wanderers. According to the development path Zhang Yingluo planned for her, it would be best to go towards the "Ace Spy" path, which doesn't require much combat.

But Qin Lele clearly had her own opinion.

"What? You're planning to advance to the [Flying Thief] level?"

Xu Nan was taken aback. "Where did you get these advanced resources?"

Qin Lele said confidently, "You don't need to worry about that. Just decide whether it's suitable for you or not!"

Xu Nan looked her up and down, and finally said:

"I think the Digging Thief is more suitable."

Qin Lele pouted in dissatisfaction, looking pitiful. "I've been trying to control my hands lately..."

Xu Nan remained unmoved. "Then what are you holding?"

"A dictionary." Qin Lele's face flushed slightly.

"What's tucked in the dictionary?" Xu Nan sneered.

Qin Lele said shyly, "I'm already your wings, so it's not too much for me to take one of your underwear, is it?"

Xu Nan felt a headache coming on. It seemed she had gone back to look up the meaning of the meme. What about the other girls?

He looked at the dictionary in Qin Lele's hand and suddenly remembered a question:

"By the way, could you help me look up what the phrase 'Gluttonous Nature' means? I recently got a specialty with that name."

Qin Lele confidently waved her hand. "No need."

"I just learned about Taotie, one of the nine sons of the dragon!"

"You must understand that dragons are inherently lustful, and Taotie is its son, so naturally it follows suit; therefore, the meaning of 'Gluttonous Nature' should be..."

"The Taotie is inherently lustful!"

Xu Nan was completely taken aback by her:

"Then... why don't I feel like I've become more lecherous?"

Qin Lele gave him a charmingly reproachful look:

"You've already made a move on someone like that, and you still say you're not a lecher..."

Xu Nan sighed as he watched her stiff movements, which were trying to appear charming despite her flat figure.

I've completely lost interest.

Just then, a notification came from Lost Paradise.
