In the college dormitory.

Jiang Xue went to the college to complete her onboarding procedures.

Li Tongyun hurriedly led Jingūji Maki, Nan Gengchen, and Liu Dezhu out of the dormitory and walked through the long, maze-like corridor.

Logically, they should have been assigned to 8-person or 4-person dormitories, but because of the preferential treatment given during the day, everyone was assigned to double rooms.

Li Tongyun complained as she walked, "Xiao Zhenji and I are both human beings! We should have a room together. How could they arrange for me and my mother to stay together, making Xiao Zhenji and me squeeze into one bed? How can we move around freely?!"

Nan Gengchen chuckled and said, "You should be content. If we had put you in an elementary school dormitory with so many people, you probably would have felt even more uncomfortable. It's fine as it is now... By the way, where are you taking us?"

"You'll see when we get there," Li Tongyun said.

The dormitory corridor was like a hotel, with rows of room doors, soft carpets on the floor, and wall lamps emitting a soft glow.

At one point, they felt like they were there for a vacation, not for school...

Ten minutes later, Li Tongyun accurately located the bar at the end of the corridor.

The bar was filled with small groups of college students, and outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows was the azure sea, where seagulls could be seen taking off and landing.

Li Tongyun walked to the bar with a smile, looked at the drink menu, and said, "Huh? Are they all free? Give us each a Long Island Iced Tea!"

Li Tongyun had already taken out her wallet, but upon seeing this, she was immediately pleasantly surprised.

Unlike the dull environment of the Outer World Academy, the dormitory area in the Time Walker Academy has internet cafes, bars, billiard halls, tennis courts, badminton courts, basketball courts, football fields, billiard halls, indoor ski resorts, concert halls, practice rooms, and board game cafes.

Basically, everything you can think of is here.

However, the waitress behind the bar chuckled, "Little sister, Long Island Iced Tea contains alcohol. Although drinks are free here, you need to show your ID to order. Students under 18 are not allowed to drink here, and even adults are limited to a maximum of three drinks per person per day."

Li Tongyun was stunned for a moment, then immediately pouted.

She sneaked out today hoping to buy some wine, but they wouldn't sell it to her!

The beautiful, vibrant world shut her out just like that.

Just then, some college students saw her and Xiao Zhenji and burst into laughter. "So young and already buying alcohol? Where are your parents? Doesn't anyone care about you?"

Li Tongyun turned her head expressionlessly and looked around.

That inexplicable aura suddenly silenced the entire bar.

Liu Dezhu Nan Gengchen stared at the ceiling. They had experienced this aura before, but they didn't know what was wrong with this little girl. Ever since she transmigrated, her aura had become stronger and stronger.

After looking around, Li Tongyun sneered, "Is there anyone in this academy who dares to mock members of the Daylight Clan now? You think you're so great just because you're qualified to sit here and drink?"

It wasn't until then that the college students in the bar suddenly recognized them as members of the Daylight Organization from the news!

No one knew how to respond.

Li Tongyun pulled Xiao Zhenji away, and said to Nan Gengchen in an annoyed tone, "Kindness is often taken advantage of. In this school, you can't be bullied during the day. Why didn't you and Zhuzi say anything just now?"

Nan Gengchen- jin hesitated for a long time...

"Forget it, I'm not counting on the two of you," Li Tongyun said in a condescending tone. "Once I get Scouts out of this academy, the future of the entire Time Walker will belong to us, Bai Zhou, in a few years."

Liu Dezhu had a toothache; who knew what this young girl was planning to do next.

If she were to truly integrate the entire elementary school group of Time Walker, the future might really belong to Li Tongyun.

Li Tongyun turned to the two of them and said, "You two sneak off and order two drinks. I'll have a Long Island Iced Tea."

Liu Dezhu sighed helplessly, "Nan Gengchen and I aren't adults either..."

Li Tongyun sighed, "If only Brother Qing Chen were here, he would definitely have a way to steal the wine."

"By the way, judging from the time, Brother Chen should be arriving soon," Nan Gengchen said. "Shall we go to the island to pick him up?"

Li Tongyun glared at him. "Are you stupid? Qing Chen said he wanted to come in anonymously. If you go to pick him up, the whole school will know he's Qing Chen!"

"Oh, yes..."

Li Tongyun sighed, "I'm truly worried about the future of daylight..."

Nan Gengchen: "..."

However, at that moment, Jingūji Maki suddenly turned around and looked behind her.

For some reason, she heard someone calling her in a warm and deep voice from the void.

At one point, the little girl could even hear the enormous breathing sounds surging in the air.

It doesn't seem like a human being, but rather some kind of extremely majestic being.

The sound of breathing rose and fell with the sound of the ocean waves, as if it were breathing along with the island itself.

The corridor behind her was empty, but she wasn't afraid because the voice didn't seem malicious.

Zhengcheng, Kunlun Bookstore.

The bookstore may look small, but it has three floors: the first floor is filled with bestsellers, the second floor with educational supplements, and the third floor is a small coffee shop.

However, it was very quiet here, and there was hardly anyone around.

Lu Yuan sat behind the counter by the door, playing League of Legends mobile game with his legs crossed, while several Kunlun members were busy cleaning.

A boy stood at the doorway observing everything. Lu Yuan merely glanced up at him before continuing to concentrate on his game.

The young man smiled as he approached the counter and said, "The land is safe and sound."

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up. "You've finally arrived, brother! But your disguise is truly amazing. How did you do it? It's completely undetectable."

The only condition for Qing Chen to come to the school was that he had to come anonymously.

"May the mountains and rivers be safe and sound" was the code Zheng Yuandong gave him. Once the code was given, Lu Yuan would naturally take care of everything for him.

Lu Yuan at Qing Chen and asked curiously, "Why do you insist on remaining anonymous? There are so many female fans at school waiting for you."

Qing Chen countered with, "You also sent Qing Yuan an acceptance letter, right? Did he report for duty?"

Lu Yuan curled his lip. "Kunlun doesn't get involved in the grudges and feuds of your Qing family. Whoever causes trouble in the academy will be punished."

"It's okay, I was just asking," Qing Chen said with a smile. "I'm more curious about what the school is like. People online say it's the Hogwarts of the East, where all sorts of strange things happen."

"You'll see when you get there. This academy is the culmination of Boss Zheng's countless efforts, and it won't disappoint you," Lu Yuan said. "Even Time Walker like you will find something there that will attract you."

Qing Chen asked, "A bar? I'm curious, are the bar's employees Time Walker?"

"No, they're all ordinary people," Lu Yuan smiled mysteriously. "They're all natives of the Inner World. Life there was too hard, so they voluntarily came to the Outer World to settle on the island. The boss promised them formal jobs, and if they work hard, they can even build their own homes on the island."

"Wait!" Qing Chen was taken aback. "People from the Inner World!?"

This means that Whale Island was brought from the Inner World by Zheng Yuandong after he took it in.

Moreover, Whale Island is Forbidden Item among all known methods for bringing living people out of the Inner World!

If that's the case, then it wouldn't be impossible for Zheng Yuandong to bring an A-Class Airship from the Inner World!

Will Whale Island shrink after being taken in?!

Lu Yuan laughed and said, "I know what you're thinking, Boss Zheng has thought about it too. But I can tell you one thing: those who travel through the world via Whale Island can never leave the island again and can only live under the protection of the island's rules. We call the people who come to the Outer World from the island stowaways, and their goods are smuggled goods. They are all things that the Outer World cannot tolerate, and they will perish if they leave the island."

Lu Yuan laughed and said, "You should have guessed it's Whale Island by now. It has many secrets, and there's more to the island than just these."

Qing Chen pondered, "The True Sight Eye, and the archives of the Bystander Organization?"

Lu Yuan smiled meaningfully, "You'll know when the right opportunity arises."

Qing Chen asked, "I'm very curious, the Forbidden Item ACE-004 True Sight Eye, can open Anywhere Door..."

Lu Yuan corrected, "It's not the Anywhere Door, it's called the Key Gate, the true name passed down from the wizarding tradition."

"Hmm, the Key Gate opens in the place the holder most wants to go. Can it travel between two worlds?" Qing Chen asked.

"No, at least not the known True Sight Eye," Lu Yuan glanced at Qing Chen. "I know what you're thinking. We don't yet have the ability to freely travel between worlds. The Time Walker Academy is on the high seas, but no one can find it."

"I still have a question. There are a total of five reporting locations across the country, so all five people need to set the 'most desired place to go' as the academy. How is that possible?" Qing Chen asked in confusion.

It's important to understand that this Key Gate operates on the human subconscious; it doesn't mean that if you verbally say where you want to go, the door will definitely open there.

This is not something you can decide for yourself.

However, Kunlun was very powerful; he opened five Key Gate, and all of them led to the island.

At this moment, Lu Yuan chuckled and said, "This thing isn't difficult at all. Boss Zheng told Xiao Ying and the others that their year-end bonuses had to be collected on the Academy Island, or they wouldn't get them. So, Key Gate these kids opened ended up on the island."

Qing Chen was both amused and exasperated; the principle was that simple.

As they were talking, a mother and son suddenly walked into the bookstore, pulling suitcases. They asked bluntly, "Is this where the Time Walker Academy registers?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Auntie, this is it."

The woman nodded and looked around the bookstore. "Your school is so rudimentary, it's like a training center."

Lu Yuan laughed, "The real school isn't here."

After saying that, he led Qing Chen and the others to the back of the iron gate and said, "Just go through this gate."

Qing Chen tried to reach out, and although it was an iron door, his hand passed through without any hindrance, only creating a transparent ripple on the iron door.

The woman exclaimed in surprise, "That's quite amazing! Let's go, son."

As she spoke, she took her fifteen- or sixteen-year-old son's hand and led him inside.

Lu Yuan stopped her, saying, "Excuse me, Auntie, parents can't go through."

"Why should I?" The woman raised an eyebrow. "Who goes to school without a parent accompanying them? Shouldn't I make their bed and tidy up their dorm room?"

Lu Yuan smiled politely, "That really won't do. You can make his bed at school, but can you go to the Inner World to make his bed? He should learn to be independent."

"Which unit are you from? Who is your leader? I want to call him," the woman said.

Lu Yuan paused for a moment, his expression slowly turning serious. "It won't make a difference who you tell this to. Kunlun gathers students together to study in order to cultivate their survival skills. If they don't have the ability to take care of themselves, they will die sooner or later in the Inner World."

The woman retorted angrily, "How dare you talk like that? Are you cursing my son?"

The student next to the woman suddenly spoke up, "Do you know who my father is?"

Qing Chen pondered for a moment, "Why are you asking us this? Didn't your mother tell you? Auntie, a child like this won't live long in the Inner World. Tell him any secrets you have."

Student. "???"

After saying that, he turned and walked into the Key Gate, leaving Lu Yuan to clean up the mess in the bookstore.

You could even hear the woman's roar from behind the door.

Qing Chen nodded. It seemed that the two ends of the Key Gate were completely connected, and even sound could be transmitted.
