In related books, Zhang Zhi even saw a wildly imaginative idea in a book called "On the War of Destiny." It suggested finding a way to merge several Great Thousand Worlds from the Beastman Path to see if they could be upgraded into a Beastman Main World.

The author's original intention was to upgrade enough Main Worlds, plunder the Fortune of Foreign Races, and then integrate the Fortune of all the Main Worlds to condense the Human Race's Divinity as the protagonist of this Multiverse.

With the Divinity of the Multiverse's protagonist, the Human Race would possess the Destiny of the Multiverse. From then on, they wouldn't need to worry about the disasters and opportunities brought by Epochal Changes, because any future races, no matter how heaven-defying, could only be supporting characters and would never be able to threaten humanity's status.

After reading this book, Zhang Zhi couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder, thinking that this person was truly bold in his ideas. Others at most thought about snatching some Fortune and Divinity from Foreign Races, but this person directly integrated the Foreign Races' Fortune and Divinity into the Human Race, making the Human Race the eternal protagonist of the Multiverse.

However, upon second thought, the great being who pioneered the Small World cultivation path back then was likely also considered wildly imaginative by others.

There was truly a lot of information related to Thousand Worlds in the Library. After reading a large number of books about Thousand Worlds, Main Worlds, and Foreign Races, he still couldn't find the characteristic represented by the first pattern on the World Bead. Zhang Zhi could only temporarily stop searching for information in this area.

He also needed to find information related to world advancement, but after searching for a long time, he only found fragmented pieces of information.

It said that the methods for advancing, whether it was an Ordinary Small World or a Thousand World, were similar and mainly divided into The Five Great pathways. However, it became vague about the specific pathways.

The information here was even less than what was available in the Primary School Library. At the very least, the Breaking Through advancement method Zhang Zhi knew about was found in the Library in Yicheng.

After finishing his search, Zhang Zhi felt a bit helpless, thinking that it seemed he needed to find another place to get this common knowledge information. Should he go to the Black Market? Or should he not rush? Should he wait until he selected his courses and honestly get the information from the classes?

Earlier today, when Class Advisor Liu was explaining all the course content to Zhang Zhi, she mentioned the knowledge he was concerned about, including common knowledge about the Trial Tower.

Class Advisor Liu said that the Lecturers would explain all this information in class, but it would require paying a certain price.

But she didn't elaborate on what the price was, only saying that he would know the specific price when classes officially started.

Zhang Zhi, who was already used to studying beyond the curriculum in Primary Education school, thought to himself that he should find this information himself after hearing that obtaining these materials from the Lecturers also required paying a certain price, just like from the Clubs/Societies.

However, after struggling for so long and still being unable to find relevant information, Zhang Zhi thought that if there was really no other way, he would go to the Black Market. If he still couldn't find anything suitable, he would just listen to the teachers' lectures directly.

Paying some price was better than selling himself to a Club/Society!

After making up his mind, he saw that it was getting late, so he packed up his books and got up to go home.

When he reached the entrance of his yard, he was surprised to find several people standing there.

He walked over and asked, and found that two of them were from the school's Logistics Department.

They were there to inform Zhang Zhi that he could go to the school's Logistics Department to choose Handmaids in the next few days.

Most of the students entering the Academy were only fourteen or fifteen years old and had very little ability to take care of themselves. Therefore, the Academy assigned Handmaids to all students.

These Handmaids were generally Human Race from other worlds. Without the Fate of the Main World, they naturally could not open Small Worlds.

Becoming a World Master's Handmaid was a very good choice for these people, after all, most of these World Masters would become beings even greater than Deities.

Although Zhang Zhi could cook himself, he naturally wouldn't refuse to have someone else help him cook.

Moreover, the house assigned by the school was not small, and living alone felt empty and he didn't have time to clean. With Handmaids, at least he wouldn't have to worry about these trivial matters.

The other two were from a Club/Society, the same one that had come looking for him this morning and told him to go to the Activity Center to find their Club President.

The two politely asked Zhang Zhi why he hadn't gone to the Club/Society to find their Club President today, saying that their Club President had waited in the Club/Society until very late today without seeing Zhang Zhi, so they specifically sent the two of them over to inquire about the specific situation.

Zhang Zhi, looking like he had just woken up and with a face full of embarrassment, repeatedly apologized, saying that he had met his Class Advisor on the Subway today and was dragged by her directly to the classroom to select courses. In the afternoon, he had an urgent matter to attend to at the Library, and as a result, he forgot about it.

The two exchanged glances: "Then, may we ask if you are free tomorrow?"

Zhang Zhi thought for a moment and then said with a helpless expression, "Tomorrow is definitely not possible. As you know, tomorrow is the last day for new students to select courses. I really don't have time."

After sending the two away, Zhang Zhi chuckled softly and turned to enter the door.

Back at his residence, he went over all the information he had found today in his mind, but what appeared most frequently in his mind was the World Seed he had encountered at the Student Activity Center today.

He sat in meditation for half a day, his mind still in turmoil. He opened his eyes and thought, Could this be the legendary 'This item is destined for me'?

Could it be that I can still open a Small World?

If I can open another Small World...

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhi's heart stirred greatly.

With the experience of opening a Small World for the first time and his current Mental Power strength, he could easily integrate the Blue Card into his Small World.

But, can I really open a Small World again?

After fantasizing for a while, he shook his head, feeling that there were too many distracting thoughts in his mind. With a thought, his consciousness appeared in his Sea of Consciousness. After using his Mental Power to improve the quality of the Resource Cards he received today, his consciousness arrived at the Small World!

Compared to the time of the Heaven and Earth Trial, the Small World now looked completely different.

The Stone Wall that Zhang Zhi had raised with World Power back then was now supplemented with a city wall on the outside, looking somewhat like the rudimentary form of the Great Wall.

The Smelting Base, which was only just beginning to take shape back then, had grown to more than three times its original size after nearly two years of development. However, the output of steel was almost a hundred times what it was before.

These days, Zhang Zhi had not been stingy with his investment of World Power in Projections, and had been sending Projections into the Small World to guide its development.

Under Zhang Zhi's guidance, the Smelting Base now had twenty-three Traditional Steelmaking Blast Furnaces.

In Fang Yun's words, the amount of steel consumed in the Small World was not large at present, otherwise, doubling the steel output tenfold would not be a problem.

Even in the Library Pavilion, the Skill book "Traditional Steelmaking" had appeared.

Well then, the author has a bit of a reading disability, meaning it's very difficult for me to find typos in what I've written myself. If any readers see any typos, please help proofread! The author thanks you!
