Prompt: Be Quick

The three girls did not care about Feng Qi at all.

So the moment Feng Qi made his move, they prepared to strike back.

As for whether Star City Academy would punish them, they were not worried. Winter Academy would step in to negotiate when the time came. At worst, they would be sent back to their academy.

Compared to Winter Academy, Star City Academy imposed more restrictions on its students. They had never felt comfortable staying here and might as well go back.

But Lin Ran's appearance changed everything.

Also an exchange student from Winter Academy, Lin Ran held a special position. He was the leader of their group of exchange students and was fully responsible for coordinating with Star City Academy.

Besides that, Lin Ran held an extremely high status at Winter Academy.

Having already been accepted early by the Tiger Soul Research Institute, he was an idol in the eyes of many Winter Academy students, as well as someone many students sought to catch up to and learn from.

Offending Lin Ran was equivalent to offending a huge number of his Winter Academy fans.

Watching Lin Ran stride over from afar with anger written all over his face, the three girls grew somewhat flustered. They had no idea how they had offended Lin Ran.

But they soon found out.

Lin Ran walked up to Feng Qi and said awkwardly,

"Brother Qi, sorry. I caused you trouble. They're exchange students from Winter Academy."

Hearing Lin Ran call Feng Qi "Brother," the three girls looked utterly incredulous.

They knew very well what kind of person Lin Ran was. Beneath his humble exterior lay a proud heart.

Though he was courteous to everyone, very few people truly earned his recognition.

And even within Winter Academy, there were only a handful of people he admired.

Now, Lin Ran had addressed the man before him as "Brother" and even taken the initiative to apologize. His attitude toward Feng Qi was obvious.

Feng Qi did not respond. Instead, he turned to glance at Mu Qing, who was still huddled in the corner, then said coldly,

"Apologize to her!"

The three girls instinctively looked toward Lin Ran, only to see the coldness in his eyes.

They hurried over to Mu Qing and said stiffly,

"Sorry, Senior. We offended you just now."

"Get out!"

At Feng Qi's furious roar, they immediately turned and hurried out of the Body Tempering Room.

Seeing Mu Qing still curled up in the corner, Feng Qi stepped forward, intending to help her to her feet.

That was when he noticed that Mu Qing was crying.

Following her gaze downward, he saw the harmonica on the floor, already broken into two pieces.

He had seen fragments of Mu Qing's memories through his nightmare ability, so he knew what this harmonica meant to her.

It was the last gift from her father.

Whenever she played it, Mu Qing was also thinking of her departed family.

But now, the harmonica that had accompanied Mu Qing for more than ten years had broken.

"Sniff, sniff..."

Tears streamed down Mu Qing's face. At last, she cast aside her cold exterior and began to cry openly, venting the emotions buried in her heart.

Feng Qi said nothing when he saw this. He crouched beside Mu Qing and quietly kept her company.

They were both orphans. He understood the feeling of entrusting one's longing to an object.

Seeing an object brought memories of a person to mind.

The broken harmonica meant that the longing she had entrusted to it had been severed. Of course she would feel sad.

Patting Mu Qing on the shoulder, Feng Qi said softly,

"Senior, come on. Let's eat. Once you're full, you won't feel so bad."

Hearing this, Mu Qing turned toward Feng Qi through her sobs. For some reason, she thought of her father.

Because her father had said the same thing before.

"Mu Mu, when you're full, you'll have the strength to stand up. Don't cry!"

This was the first time she had been protected, and the first time she had felt warmth.

After picking up the harmonica broken into two pieces from the floor, Mu Qing could not hide the disappointment in her eyes. But she quickly concealed her emotions, looked at Feng Qi, and said,

"Let's go eat."

"Come on, Let's Eat Trio, move out!" Lin Ran echoed from the side.

As for those three girls, he had already decided how to deal with them.

By the time they arrived at the cafeteria, mealtime had already passed.

Fortunately, the food in the buffet area was still plentiful. After the three of them took their food, they began eating heartily.

Mu Qing ate especially much during this meal, and her emotions gradually settled as she ate.

After they finished eating, the three said goodbye, and Feng Qi returned to his dormitory alone.

Before he even entered, he saw a delivery package placed outside his dorm room door.

It was clearly the Twilight Wolf Rune Crystal he had ordered online yesterday.

After entering, he first opened the package, took out the Twilight Wolf Rune Crystal, bit it into pieces, and swallowed it.

As his body temperature gradually rose, the energy progress bar began to move, eventually stopping at 76%.

Compared to the previous Twilight Wolf Rune Crystal, this one was somewhat less effective, but it was still within his acceptable range.

His energy had already reached the requirement for entering Future Dreamland.

But Feng Qi did not act immediately. He planned to continue mapping out the future and ensure that every trip into Future Dreamland yielded the greatest possible benefit.

Because the balance in his bank card no longer allowed him to keep spending recklessly.

Buying this Twilight Wolf Rune Crystal had cost him 880,000. He had only 1.87 million left in his bank account, enough to support only two more trips into Future Dreamland.

Therefore, before obtaining a stable source of funding, he had to be careful. He absolutely could not die as casually as before.

Feng Qi's current state was like that of a gamer preparing to spend heavily, pondering how to spend money for the greatest possible return.

Sitting at his desk, Feng Qi woke his Tablet Computer and first opened a shopping website.

Mu Qing's harmonica had broken and clearly could no longer be used, so he decided to give her a brand-new harmonica.

He had truly worried himself sick over this Future Great Demon King, who would bring calamity upon an era.

After entering "harmonica," the shopping website displayed information on related products.

As he browsed, a silver harmonica caught his attention.

Sound of Nature (Harmonica)

Number of holes: 10

Harmonica type: Diatonic

Reed plate material: Halo Domain - Light Tree Resin

...

Feng Qi did not know much about harmonicas, so he clicked on the reviews to see what online users had to say about it.

After browsing for a while, he found that the reviews were all quite good, so he clicked "Buy."

This harmonica was not cheap, because the materials used to make it included spirit plants produced within a Domain Field.

Buying this harmonica cost him 30,000 in cash.

Though it pained him, Feng Qi only hoped that Mu Qing would change because of it and no longer hate humanity.

At the very least, he wanted Mu Qing to understand that not everyone disliked her. There were still people who could give her warmth.

After doing all this, he opened his notebook and began a new round of "dialogue with the future."

Besides the three pieces of information he had recorded before, he began writing down some thoughts that might prove useful.

For example:

If possible, please get married and have children early, then establish an ancestral rule so I can obtain a Database Authority Account. Although you will die young, one of your descendants will surely be able to enter Star City Shelter and become an authorized member.

Prompt: Be quick. You might disappear at any time.
