Meanwhile, on the other side.

When Nangong Yuanyu returned to his dormitory from the cafeteria, he saw the Freemasons waiting excitedly at the door of his dormitory.

He has been very tired these days, and he doesn't sleep when he gets back to his dormitory every night, focusing only on his spiritual practice.

After all, he had just switched from the Zhunti Method to the Myriad Thunder Department, which meant starting all over again. No matter how strong his cultivation talent was, he still had to work even harder.

Looking at the Freemasons, Nangong Yuanyu asked curiously, "What are you all doing here?"

As a result, the crowd dispersed, and a girl approached him holding a box, smiling, "Guild Leader, you were always the first to charge into the wilderness, the most hardworking when it came to tasks, and the fairest when distributing resources and money. We know you've worked very hard, and this time you couldn't accumulate points because you were at the Agricultural Academy. Now the academy has launched a new product that we heard can aid in cultivation, and you're currently retraining in the Myriad Thunder Department... So, we've all unanimously decided that from now on, as long as we have enough points, we'll use them all to redeem this cultivation-aiding product for you!"

Team points are shared by everyone and can be used for group purchases, team building activities, and purchasing team supplies.

For a team, points are the most important thing.

If someone wants to monopolize it,

That would be like a guild leader in World of Warcraft distributing resources unfairly, leading to backlash from members.

Therefore, Nangong Yuanyu has never used team points to seek any personal benefits.

He is currently a high school student living in a four-person dormitory room.

The other members all urged him to use his team points to redeem a single room.

He did not agree to this, even though it would allow him to focus on his spiritual practice without distractions.

Last week,

One club president did just that.

As a result, 90% of the club members withdrew the next day...

Nangong Yuanyu wasn't worried that everyone would leave the Freemasons, but he knew that doing so was wrong.

And now,

The sincerity he showed,

They received a reward from the members.

"Thank you everyone," Nangong Yuanyu, somewhat moved. "In the future... I will definitely continue to lead everyone to survive in the wilderness and make life better... I..."

He is not particularly good at giving speeches.

So I ran out of things to say halfway through.

"Hurry up and open the box to take a look," the girl said with a smile.

Nangong Yuanyu opened the box, and when he saw the cluster of Purple Orchid Star leaves carefully placed inside...

"Holy crap," Nangong Yuanyu exclaimed.

The Freemasons were taken aback. Why was they reacting like this?

You can be moved.

I can be disappointed, but what do you mean by "Holy shit" for the chairman?

Nangong Yuanyu quickly said, "Ah, I'm so sorry everyone, I lost my composure just now."

I'm very grateful to everyone, but I have some very important things to take care of. I'll discuss them with you all when I get back tonight! Thank you so much!

He was genuinely moved; while others were still scrambling for resources,

Everyone is doing their best to support him alone.

How could I not be moved?

Nangong Yuanyu said, "Zhou Yunyi,

You're the second most talented in the Freemasons, so you're to use this Purple Orchid Star. Don't ask me why yet.

I'll come and explain to you tonight!

After saying that, Nangong Yuanyu ran towards the Agricultural Academy like a madwoman!

Turn out to be,

This item that can accelerate cultivation threefold is actually the Purple Orchid Star that he guards every day!

This spiritual sustenance, which all Freemasons painstakingly prepared,

She was actually by his side the whole time!

The Freemasons behind him were bewildered. What was wrong with the Grand Master? Why had he suddenly gone mad?

When Nangong Yuanyu arrived at the entrance of the Agricultural Academy, a number of students had already gathered there, discussing the goods. Since it was the weekend and everyone had nothing to do, they could find out immediately if another batch of goods were shipped out and then redeem them.

Nangong Yuanyu looked at the densely packed crowd and felt her head spin.

His phone rang, and Zard's voice came through. "Take the secret passage! Take the secret passage!"

Nangong Yuanyu asked curiously, "Our academy has a secret passage? Where is it?"

"Look at the sand beneath your feet, I will guide you there."

Who would have thought that the Agricultural Academy, which was ignored just a few days ago, would become such a hot commodity today?

Countdown 106:00:00.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

The gates of the Agricultural Academy were blocked, but Qing Chen acted as if nothing had happened, directing his Qing Clan Six Disciples: "Remember, when planting the Purple Orchid Star, you must cut a tuft of hair and ten clipped fingernails. From today onwards, no one is allowed to cut their nails without permission, understand?"

"We heard you," everyone replied.

The Agricultural Academy only has eight people, but Purple Orchid Star reproduces every three days. Nangong Yuanyu looked at everyone and thought, "Perhaps in the near future, everyone will be bald. There are just too few people..."

Qing Chen added, "The camellias on Jingshan Tea Mountain have also bloomed, and they will bear fruit this afternoon. We'll plant them in the ground then. Half of the fruit from Longevity Sky will be used for propagation."

Half of them were picked and set aside; I'll need them.

Everyone understood that these were the goods to be allocated to the college.

They looked at the dean.

The other party didn't mention anything about assigning positions to their own college for a long time.

No one dared to speak up.

Everyone was so anxious, their hearts were pounding like they were being scratched by a cat.

At this moment, Qing Chen passed by a Longevity Sky, picked a fruit with a cracked skin, and said, "Throw away these fruits; they're defective. You need to eat eighteen of them to get the same effect as nine qualified ones. Don't keep them."

He had barely finished speaking when Nangong Yuanyu and Sun Chuci stepped forward simultaneously, "Give it to me, Dean, I'll throw it away..."

After they finished speaking, they looked at each other and then began to politely decline, saying, "You go, you go."

Qing Chen glanced at them. "Let's take turns."

Now that everyone knows what treasures are in the academy, they naturally won't let them go. So what if they're defective? Eating eighteen of them will still increase your strength by an F-rank...

Moreover, they discovered during the past two days of planting that many of the Longevity Sky Fruits naturally split open. At its current growth rate, the six of them could eat their fill in less than two days...

Most importantly, it doesn't require points! There are no limits! No need to compete for it!

Nangong Yuanyu had already made up his mind that after all the students in the academy finished eating, he would take the food back to the Freemasons so that all the Freemasons would be better able to survive in the wilderness!

The Qing Clan Six Disciples were all filled with hope for the future.

You should know that only a little over a hundred students outside have managed to snag any goods, which is a probability of one in six hundred. They don't Reagan.

At this moment, Zheng Yuandong called Qing Chen, asking hesitantly, "Do you have any extra production capacity? The students are going crazy with worry. How about we allocate some to the academy to tide us over? Just tell me what you need. As for the True Sight Eye, I'll give it to you after I finish some business in the Inner World. You know, one of the main sources of points for these students right now is finding intelligence for the Parent's Association. Now that you've got the intelligence... I don't mean to rush you, it's just that the academy is about to collapse."

Qing Chen smiled and said, "Principal Zheng, have Xiao Ying bring people over to transport it tonight. This time, the output will be more than last time."

Starting today, the Agricultural Academy's production capacity will officially begin its journey toward doubling continuously.

He might be a little strapped for cash right now, but if he goes back twice more, he can drain all the students' points and make them work like crazy to find new information for the Parent's Association.

Zheng Yuandong suddenly said, "By the way, the people you asked Kunlun to pick up for the island have already landed."

At this very moment, a group of sixteen people slowly walked in from outside the Agricultural Academy.

Compared to the students in the academy, each of them possessed a fierce air, and when they were serious and unsmiling, they looked like wild beasts.

This is a group of people who are completely different from students; their temperament is different as well.

Within the college, Freemasonry was already synonymous with ruthlessness, but the demeanor of this group was clearly even more ferocious than that of the Freemasons.

However, when the group reached the students, the young man at the front suddenly smiled and said, "Excuse me, we need to pass."

That smile instantly dispelled the tense atmosphere.

This young man was as kind as a friendly older brother next door, seemingly harmless.

The crowd slowly dispersed, and the young man led the way to the entrance of the Agricultural Academy, patting it on the shoulder. "Dean, it's me, Xiao Qi! I'm here to report for duty!"

This group of people was none other than the Parent's Association members led by Xiao Qi and Xiao Wu!

At the Parent's Association, there were a total of eight family members with rankings, from eldest to Xiao Ba, who were considered Luo Wanyai's eight most capable "Golden Family".

After receiving Qing Chen's notification, Luo Wanyai immediately selected 16 of the fastest and most talented Time Walker from the Parent's Association Time Walker sent them to Whale Island for intensive training.

These were all handpicked by him from among the Time Walker. Each one possessed exceptional talent, and although they couldn't compare to geniuses like Li Tongyun and Chen Yu, they were still second-rate cultivation geniuses.

For Qing Chen, the top priority in resource allocation is definitely the daytime, followed by the Parent's Association, with the Freemasons and the Qing Clan Six Disciples tied for third place.

In terms of closeness, the Parent's Association are definitely closer; they are Qing Chen's loyal followers.

In terms of combat ability, this group of family members who wiped out various city gangs were clearly more ruthless. You should know that the enemies they faced were all serious criminals in the city who had not been caught and brought to justice. They were ruthless and cunning.

Their practice of arresting serious criminals one by one and then stuffing them into a building to operate sewing machines has instilled a deep-seated fear in various gangs.

Suppressing those gangs is essentially a training exercise for Parent's Associations. While it may not be as effective as the military, it is far superior to other organizations.

The small iron gate of the Agricultural Academy creaked open, and Xiao Qi walked in with a big smile.

Before he arrived, Luo Wanyai had said that this was an arrangement made by the parents.

The parents' arrangements are, of course, the best arrangements!

Starting today, all forces under Qing Chen's command will enter a period of exaggeratedly rapid development.

The conglomerates and powers of the Inner World would never know that, from this moment on, the Time Walker of the Outer World would finally rely on Whale Island, this magical Forbidden Item, to step onto a new stage.

The Time Walker was weak in the past, but will soon become strong.

South of Whale Island, Li Tongyun was holding the little hand of Jingūji Maki. The two little girls, dressed in sportswear, skipped and hopped along the mountain path.

Whale Island is too big; the area that the academy has developed so far is less than one percent of it.

As they gradually headed south, Li Tongyun could already see the dense forest to the south.

Before she even got close, she saw several shadows flash by in the darkness.

A sense of crisis struck her, preventing her from moving forward any further.

"Strange," Li Tongyun said in confusion, "Didn't Kunlun explore or clear this forest after landing on the island? It looks like Forbidden Zone, it's giving me the creeps."

Jingūji Maki was still learning Chinese, and she smiled as she imitated Li Tongyun's speech, "Maomao de!"

Li Tongyun looked at her irritably. "Don't learn this."

"Oh," Xiao Zhenji nodded.

At this moment, Xiao Tongyun took out her phone and showed it to Xiao Zhenji: "Mountain, I want a mountain that is more than ten meters high. Please materialize it according to this photo."

Xiao Zhenji understood. The next moment, a mountain more than ten meters high suddenly appeared before them. On the mountain was a platform, and on the platform was a large tree.

This mountain is particularly strange because one side of it is almost smooth and flat, with only a few gaps for leverage.

Li Tongyun pulled out another photo. "A hemp rope, I need a 40-meter-long hemp rope."

Xiao Zhenji reappeared.

Li Tongyun carefully tied a safety knot around Xiao Zhenji with a hemp rope, then easily climbed up the mountain, tied one end of the rope to a tree, and stood on the edge of the hill.

"You've watched a lot of rock climbing lessons lately, so let's get started with the actual training, Maki. You said you wanted to become as good as your master and help him, so you have to take action," Li Tongyun said earnestly. "Now that you have the strength of an adult, let's begin. Remember, your master's current situation really requires teammates, and in this world, there aren't many people he can truly trust."

Maki seemed to understand, but she grasped what Li Tongyun meant.

She materialized magnesium powder, then took a deep breath and began to climb up the cliff, her small figure stumbling and bumping along the mountainside.

Learning by watching videos and putting them into practice are two completely different things.

Some things seem simple, but require constant practice to master; it's commonly said that your brain knows it, but your hands haven't learned it yet.

Li Tongyun stood on the cliff, holding the safety rope with utmost care, not daring to slack off for a moment.

Last night, Qing Chen sent them the Purple Orchid Star. Logically, Li Tongyun should be making the most of her time to cultivate, but she knew that Qing Chen didn't have time to train Xiao Zhenji, so it had to be done by her.

Therefore, she decided to dedicate 8 to 10 hours each day to helping Jingūji Maki grow.

By the end of the day, Jingūji Maki was covered in injuries.

She leaned against Li Tongyun's chest, sobbing in the sunset on the mountain, while Xiao Tongyun chewed up Chicken Blood Sprout and carefully applied them to her wound.

Looking at the wound, Li Tongyun calmly said, "Back when your master was training, the conditions were much harsher than they are now. There was no medicine, no one to help hold the safety rope, and no Longevity Sky fruit. You have the strength of an adult, but your body is small, which means you have an advantage over others in rock climbing. But with an advantage, you have to work even harder."

Xiao Zhenji nodded through her tears, clenching her little fists and saying, "Try it out!"

Li Tongyun continued, "Your master is the kind of person who likes to shoulder everything himself. I know he's currently under siege by the Chen Clan troops, I know he just sent his brother away, but he's stubbornly refusing to tell us anything. Do you know why? Because we're still too weak. Even if he told us, it wouldn't make a difference. Maki, we're still too weak."

Li Tongyun: "Actually, I don't really care about other people's lives or deaths. As long as everyone is alright during the day, that's enough. Maki, remember this: from today onwards, I am your protector. Before you complete those Life and Death Trial challenges, anyone who wants to kill you will have to kill me first. Let's go back to the dorm, and we'll continue tomorrow."

Xiao Zhenji nodded, wiped away her tears, and said forcefully, "I'll do my best!"
