The Dean of the Agricultural Academy, Qing Chen
"Meditation?" Qing Chen wondered, puzzled by the word.
"Yes," Lu Yuan explained, "The picture in the third part of the scroll is actually to help everyone enter the first meditation. Without the True Sight Eye, this is the only way."
Many meditation methods exist in the Outer World, but no one has ever truly achieved transcendence through meditation.
This is because true transcendental meditation requires the assistance of external forces.
One method involves holding the True Sight Eye in one's hand while breathing.
One method relies on simple meditation diagrams...
There are many types of meditation charts. The more mysterious and rare a meditation chart is, the faster one can enter a meditative state and the faster one's mental energy can be restored.
These are all records left behind by the wizards when they left the Central Plains.
At this moment, Zheng Yuandong calmly said, "The options you checked at the beginning of your test paper are all terrible, as if you were the most beautiful orphan in the Inner World. And you didn't answer a single science question at the end. What, are you determined to join the Foundation Academy?"
Ni Ergou said, "Boss Qing Chen, you're a member of the academy's board of directors now, how can you still do this kind of thing?"
"Ahem," Qing Chen felt embarrassed that his plan had been discovered. "What a mess. I was actually planning to write the second part, but I fell asleep while looking at your ridiculous diagrams. Speaking of which, I'm really curious why these meditation diagrams could make me sleep for so long."
Zheng Yuandong glanced at him. "That's something I'm curious about too. In the Kunlun Organization, the longest time someone has meditated on their first time is 21 hours, while you, to be precise, it's been three and a half days, 44 hours. You're about to transmigrate. If you don't wake up soon, I'm afraid I'll have to find a way to wake you up. I can't let you go on an adventure to the Inner World while meditating."
Qing Chen recalled that in the Inner World, he was surrounded by Shadow, Qing Ye, Qing Qu, and Zard. To be honest, it wasn't really an adventure...
Zheng Yuandong asked, "What did you see in the world of meditation?"
Qing Chen countered, "What did you all see?"
Ni Ergou, standing to the side, curled his lip and said, "Trying to make up lies again..."
Zheng Yuandong said with a smile, "The more expansive a person's spiritual world is, the larger the things they will see during their first meditation. Some people have seen a leaf that is hundreds of square meters in size, while others have seen a mountain peak. Of course, these are things that are specifically recorded in the lineage of wizards, and they are extremely rare. Ordinary people might see an off-road vehicle, a motorcycle, a drop of water, or a grain of sand. What you see is not important; what matters is the volume."
Qing Chen recalled that he found it difficult to define how to measure what he had seen, because, according to Zheng Yuandong, nothing that others had seen was as magical as the Memory Palace.
After all, his Memory Palace has "memory," and Memory Palace grandeur is no less than that of a mountain.
The reason he didn't wake up for three days was because he spent too long climbing the Memory Palace.
So, is he suitable to practice the lineage of wizards?
What he saw in his meditation was exactly what Zheng Yuandong called "extremely rare".
Moreover, this doesn't even include the palace's own memory.
Ni Ergou asked, "What exactly did you see in your meditation?"
Qing Chen casually remarked, "I saw a small..."
Zheng Yuandong waved his hand with a smile, "I won't believe a single word after what you said, so you don't need to say anything more."
"Hahaha, see, I'm telling the truth, why are you all reacting like this?" Qing Chen said, "What did the other students in the academy see?"
Zheng Yuandong shook his head. "This is a secret of the academy."
"I am a member of the school board," Qing Chen said earnestly.
Ni Ergou: "..."
Lu Yuan to the side, was exasperated. "When you wanted to sneak into the Foundation Academy, why didn't you ever think about being a member of the school board?!"
Zheng Yuandong pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's alright to tell you. There's a group of elites in the academy with extremely broad spiritual worlds, suitable for cultivating the wizarding lineage. Some saw a river flowing endlessly, some saw a waterfall cascading down, some saw a heavy snowfall, and some saw a desert. It's said that several people even saw you, and they seem to be your fans."
"Who are they?" Qing Chen asked.
Lu Yuan asked, "Do you want to meet your fans, or are you trying to poach people from us?"
"Yes, I was assigned to both," Qing Chen answered honestly. "So... which college did I end up in?"
Zheng Yuandong said, "You shouldn't attend classes with the other students; you should teach the class."
Qing Chen shook his head. "No, at least not under Qing Chen's identity."
Qing Yuan and Huan Yu are both in the academy now, and he hasn't figured out their strength yet, so he can't show up rashly.
It's important to know that both Qing Yuan and Huan Yu were people who wanted to kill him.
He had a blood feud with someone at Weiyang Lake Park in Xiancheng.
Someone assassinated him on the streets of Zhengzhou, even planting a bomb; the methods were extremely cruel.
Qing Chen wasn't sure if these two were A-level, so he didn't act rashly; otherwise, he would have already stormed their doorstep.
Therefore, he cannot step forward to be that special target.
However... now that the other party has already taken him for Chen Sui, he can easily switch to another identity to teach.
Qing Chen frowned. "By the way, do the other people know I've been missing for three days..."
Zheng Yuandong said, "Don't worry, everyone in the academy knows that a few people have passed the extraordinary assessment, obtained the True Sight Eye and the wizarding inheritance, and are currently focusing on their training. So, your disappearance for three days can be explained as you entering the wizarding department of the Supernatural Academy."
"That's all we can say," Qing Chen nodded.
"Aren't you planning to come and teach?" Zheng Yuandong asked.
Qing Chen thought for a moment and then asked, "Could I be the dean of a branch school?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yuandong and Ni Ergou exchanged a glance. They had thought it would be difficult to get Qing Chen to teach, and the two of them had even rehearsed their speeches. But Qing Chen actually wanted to bypass the teachers and become the dean directly!
Zheng Yuandong said without hesitation, "Okay, I'll make you the dean of the Supernatural Academy."
With Qing Chen's strength, he is more than capable of serving as the entire dean.
Moreover, when it comes to actual combat, apart from Zheng Yuandong, no one in this room has the same combat experience as Qing Chen.
Even Zheng Yuandong's combat frequency might not be as high as Qing Chen's.
If Qing Chen were to become the dean of the Supernatural Academy, wouldn't it be only natural for him, as the dean, to impart cultivation techniques? Everything would be negotiable then.
Other students probably don't know that while they are Qing Xing their admission to the Technology Academy and the Supernatural Academy, a peer is about to become the dean!
But then Qing Chen shook his head. "He's not the dean of the Supernatural Academy, he's the dean of the Agricultural Academy."
Chen Sui, who was made the scapegoat, is at the Technology Academy.
Chen Nian was in the Wizarding Department of the Supernatural Academy, but this remained unknown to most.
He then took on a different role as the dean, and recruited students to farm.
More and more vests are being worn...
Lu Yuan hearing this, Lu Yuan was completely taken aback. "Wait a minute, we don't even have Agricultural Academy! It's good that you're willing to be the dean, but what's with you opening a new college? We don't train people for farming!"
Zheng Yuandong asked thoughtfully, "You have a plan?"
Qing Chen pondered for a moment, "Let me confirm one thing first: after eating on the island, leaving Whale Island won't result in death due to rapid energy depletion, right?"
"Yes," Zheng Yuandong nodded, "I had this concern before, worried that the island's resources couldn't leave, and that if people ate the island's specialties, the world would suddenly deduct that energy and kill them. But after experimenting, I found that there's no need to worry about that. Forbidden Item have their Forbidden Item rules. I'm not sure if it follows the principle of energy conservation, but there's definitely no danger in that regard."
"That's fine then," Qing Chen nodded.
Ni Ergou and Lu Yuan at Zheng Yuandong: "Boss..."
Zheng Yuandong raised his hand to stop him, and after careful consideration, asked, "When do you plan to establish Agricultural Academy?"
Qing Chen glanced at the time; the countdown was 00:00:09.
He looked up and said, "I will give you a definite answer when I return next time."
Time travel.
The world fell into darkness, and then light returned.
Qing Chen remained by the campfire, while the sapling on Zard's head was once again crushed by the rules.
It seems that nothing has changed.
Qing Chen looked at the shadow of someone sitting by the campfire grilling fish not far away, and suddenly remembered the scene when the other person held him in their arms when he was a child.
The other party actually dared to speak up in front of the gods, telling them to be quiet so as not to wake them up.
"Brother," Qing Chen called out.
The shadow paused for a moment, then slowly smiled, "You're back?"
For some reason, the air seemed to become more lively.
Qing Chen sat down by the campfire and remained silent for a long time before suddenly saying, "My memories have been unlocked, and in those memories, I saw the person who sent me to the Outer World. Who exactly is he? You should know his identity; it must be in the Qing family's records. I saw you sitting in the dimly lit room, and you were holding me."
Looking at the campfire, Shadow pressed his hands close to the flames to feel the warmth. "Your words have instantly brought back memories of more than a hundred years ago... No, for you, it's only been a little over ten years."
A century stood still for him, for another person. Everyone else stopped, but time surged on him alone.
So when Shadow recalled everything from that time, it was as if he were traversing a century. "You were very, very young back then. The first time I met that person was in a family photo. The photo included Ren Xiaosu, our ancestor Qing Zhen, Knights member Li Yingyun, Qin Sheng, a person named P5092, and Northwest Army Commander Zhang Jinglin, and many, many people. After defeating the Artificial Intelligence 'Zero,' we took a group photo with an old-fashioned camera to commemorate that victory. Among them was the one who sent you to the Outer World, Yan Liuyuan."
Qing Chen recalled, and finally found the name.
According to records from the Li Clan Academy, this was once the ruler of the vast royal court on the grasslands north of the Federation.
Under his leadership, the nomadic peoples of the grasslands moved away from the federation and established defenses on the grasslands to resist the barbarians from the north.
After those bloodthirsty barbarians were completely wiped out, Yan Liuyuan led the grassland people back to the Federation, while he himself disappeared with a woman named Li Xiaoyu.
Shadow poked at the campfire with a stick and said, "Within the conglomerate, there is only one universally acknowledged deity, but there are three others who are closest to deity: Li Shentan, Chen Wudi, and Yan Liuyuan. Each of their wills is close to merging with the world's will. To avoid becoming the world's will completely, they need to leave this world and go to a wider place. It seems that the deity Ren Xiaosu left for this reason. Many people once speculated that Yan Liuyuan should have left with Ren Xiaosu, but later everyone found out that he did not leave."
Shadow looked at Qing Chen: "He said he wants to protect this world for his brother Ren Xiaosu."
"Are he and Ren Xiaosu brothers?" Qing Chen asked. "Why do they have different surnames?"
Shadow laughed and said, "I don't know about that. Anyway, he always calls Ren Xiaosu 'brother.' It's said that the brothers have a very good relationship, just like blood brothers."
"You asked him to keep his voice down so he wouldn't wake me. Did he punish you afterward?" Qing Chen asked curiously.
"No," Shadow shook his head. "He said that an older brother should protect his younger brother, just like I did when his older brother protected him. That person even gave me a Forbidden Item because of my courage. Forbidden Item ACE-006, the Deity's Ear Spoon."
Qing Chen was both amused and exasperated. "What kind of Forbidden Item is this? How can it have such a strange name?"
The shadow chuckled, "Don't underestimate it. As long as you use it to clean your ears, no one can get close enough to attack you, because Mom said you can't touch someone when they're cleaning their ears. Haha, it's said that this was once an item carried by the god Ren Xiaosu. I don't know why it's so strange. Nobody knows it's on me, but maybe one day it will surprise many people."
Qing Chen suddenly remembered the moment in his memory when the other person was gazing at him.
He asked, "When you referred to him as 'that person,' did you mean that mentioning his name would let him know?"
The shadow nodded. "But it doesn't matter anymore. He should be sleeping soundly now. Besides, I'm almost gone anyway, so I'm not afraid of him, haha."
Qing Chen sighed inwardly.
At this moment, the elder brother and younger brother were discussing the secrets of the Federation.
From a distance, Ma Jingjing and the others cautiously observed this Lord of Daybreak...
They couldn't hear what the two were saying.
But then Yi Wenbo urged Ma Jingjing, "Quick, go! Your chance to curry favor has arrived!"
