Chapter 89: Highly Creative
Academy?
Upon seeing Nietu Sanqian's message, Yu Sheng was briefly confused. The word "Academy" seemed vaguely familiar. Then he remembered something Baili Qing had casually mentioned during their earlier conversation, as well as some information he had happened to notice among the pile of materials while fiddling with his phone's functions. At last, he connected the term to the right place.
According to the information, it was an organization located beyond The Crossroads, with its headquarters on a distant planet called "Terra."
