A conversation with Mo Fei gave Feng Qi a brand new direction for his future plans.

Lighting up the technology tree of human civilization would allow humanity to break through technological bottlenecks and acquire technologies that combine spiritual energy and technology.

However, before issues like memory could be resolved, these plans could only remain plans and could not be put into action.

After all, technological development is different from Cultivation Studies; it requires a large accumulation of data, and he couldn't rely purely on memory to bring this knowledge back to reality.

Thinking of this, he yearned even more for the "Infinity Memory" ability mentioned by the Narrator.

If he acquired such an ability, it would be equivalent to carrying a Mobile Hard Drive with him every time he entered the Future dream, allowing him to copy large amounts of data from the Future Database at any time.

While contemplating, he realized that his limitations in the Future dream mainly stemmed from three points.

The first point was the lack of a privileged user account for the Star City Shelter, which meant he only had permission to browse Cultivation Methods once each time he entered the Future dream, and only for Cultivation Methods rated three stars or below.

The second point was Little Black's pursuit.

Little Black was like the Life-Reaping Impermanence; every time he entered the Future dream, he couldn't escape its pursuit. Furthermore, the Star City Database contained no information related to Little Black, leaving him helpless.

He couldn't defeat it, nor could he escape.

If it weren't for Little Black, even without a privileged account for the Star City Shelter, he could still rapidly strengthen himself by killing Living Dead or Domain Creatures.

The third point was the replenishment of energy for entering the dream.

This was a relatively easier problem to solve among the three limitations, but channels for capital speculation like stocks and futures had been canceled in this era, making it difficult to quickly snowball his funds by consulting the Future Database.

Although the Future Database did record many entrepreneurial projects that could lead to wealth, these projects generally required time and effort and couldn't be achieved overnight, nor were they the choices he wanted.

But he already had a direction for getting rich quickly.

That was to create the game Savior. Before that, he needed to find a person, because Savior was born based on the virtual engine created by this person.

If Savior could be born earlier, it would undoubtedly have a significant impact on the Future and also solve a major problem in reality: how to improve the practical combat ability of Cultivators while ensuring safety during practical training.

This method of making money, which could both promote the progress of human civilization and generate substantial profits, was the only entrepreneurial project he was interested in.

After a moment of thought, Feng Qi snapped back to reality.

Looking at Mo Fei, who was already reviewing, he didn't idle either. After taking out his tablet from his suitcase, he began to browse the basic knowledge of Cultivation Studies.

Learning is boundless, and even with the Future dream, he felt that the basic knowledge of Cultivation Studies still couldn't be neglected.

The Cultivation Methods he was currently copying from the Future were 1-3 star Cultivation Methods. If he could access Cultivation Methods above 3 stars in the future, the complexity would greatly increase.

Therefore, mastering the basics of Cultivation Studies would help him copy more efficiently.

All knowledge is like this; understanding the principles first and then memorizing will yield twice the result with half the effort.

And for him, learning was also a process of enriching himself and didn't feel boring. The more knowledge he had in his mind, the more satisfied he felt.

The night was deep, and the dormitory building was still brightly lit.

Besides Feng Qi and Mo Fei who were diligently studying, countless students were also about to face a turning point in their lives and were making their final sprint.

The graduation exam was in five days, and admissions teachers from various academies would arrive then.

In addition to passing the basic exam content, students also needed to pass the interview review by the admissions teachers from various academies.

The teaching quality of Star City Middle School was top-notch within Star City, but nearly half of the students were still eliminated every year, and less than one percent could enter the top 100 academies.

It was cruel, but also very realistic.

Those who passed would receive the best treatment and only needed to focus on studying; they would likely become human elites in the future.

Those who didn't pass could only enter second-tier academies, or even directly enter society to make a living.

After all, the resources in this world were limited.

On the long road of fighting against Domain Creatures, what the human high-level could do was to concentrate limited resources to supply the elites first, and then let the elites drive the development of human civilization.

Feng Qi and Mo Fei chose to turn off the lights and go to sleep after studying until two in the morning.

The next morning, Feng Qi woke up leisurely.

"Not getting up yet? If we don't leave now, the cafeteria will be crowded."

Hearing this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

He then remembered that he had already left Star City Academy and there was no 24-hour free buffet available.

Moreover, the size of the Star City Middle School cafeteria was far from comparable to that of Star City Academy, and it was very crowded during meal times.

"Let's go, eat!"

Realizing the "seriousness" of the problem, he quickly jumped out of bed, quickly dressed and washed up, and rushed to the school cafeteria with Mo Fei.

Not being active in eating means having a problem with one's thinking.

Although the food at Star City Middle School was far from comparable to that of Star City Academy, he still ate very satisfyingly this meal.

The only regret was that the food here was not free.

This meal cost him over 300 cash, emptying the remaining balance on his meal card, and also left Mo Fei dumbfounded.

Fortunately, he had already been recommended to Star City Academy, otherwise, if he ate like this every day, he felt that his bank card balance would definitely not be able to hold up.

By the time they arrived at the classroom, many classmates had already arrived early and were reviewing.

Arriving at his seat, he and Mo Fei entered a state of study.

At eight o'clock, History Teacher Wang walked into the classroom holding a stack of white paper.

Standing at the podium, Wang Jinsheng said:

"Students, there's an activity at the graduation gala in a few days called the Time Capsule. Next, I will give each of you a blank piece of paper. You will write what you want to say to the future on the paper. At that time, we will put them all into the time capsule, bury it during the gala, and open it in the future."

Saying this, Wang Jinsheng handed the stack of white paper in his hand to the students in the front row for them to distribute.

Soon, everyone in the classroom had a blank piece of paper.

At this moment, Wang Jinsheng looked at the students below and said with a smile:

"Think carefully before you write. You can write what you want to say to the future, or your outlook for the future, or perhaps your current regrets. When you take it out and look at it again someday in the future, it might make you feel deeply emotional."

"You write first, I'll come collect them this afternoon." Saying this, Wang Jinsheng turned and walked out of the classroom.

"What do you want to write?" Mo Fei, who was beside him, looked at Feng Qi and asked curiously.

Facing the question, Feng Qi fell into thought.

He could see his own future, so what he wrote didn't seem important to him.

But even so, he didn't choose to be perfunctory.

After thinking for a moment, he felt it would be best to write a message for the future.

So he picked up a pen and fell into thought.

Mo Fei, who was beside him, also lowered his head at this time and began to write his outlook and message for the future on the white paper.

At this moment, the classroom was very quiet, and the students were all lost in thought.

After thinking for a moment, Feng Qi picked up his pen and wrote on the white paper:

Wishing you a long life, Feng Qi!
