Countdown 38:00:00.

While Jiuzhou was rushing to the cliffside challenge site to snatch people, Zheng Yuandong did nothing. He simply came to the Agricultural Academy and silently watched as Sun Chuci, Tuanzi, and others busied themselves transplanting new Purple Orchid Star, Jingshan Tea, and Longevity Sky plants into the vegetable garden in front of him.

This was the first time Boss Zheng had come to this vegetable garden since the War Fortress was sealed off.

Qing Chen said from the side, "The second transplanting and propagation will begin today. Starting tomorrow, the Agricultural Academy will provide Kunlun with 96 portions of Purple Orchid Star every week, and the Time Walker Academy will also receive 96 portions. What do you think?"

Zheng Yuandong watched silently, understanding that this was the greatest sincerity Bai Zhou could show.

Compared to the current scale of planting, the haggling five days ago suddenly seems like a joke.

Moreover, this astonishing scene only occupies one-tenth of the area of War Fortress.

Tree pits had been dug in the remaining land, and it was clear that Qing Chen would not stop there.

Zheng Yuandong said, "Thank you. With these Purple Orchid Star, a group of students from both Kunlun and the academy will stand out. With just one year of accumulation, Kunlun will be qualified to rival the major organizations in the Inner World."

The Time Walker's biggest weakness is time. If things were to follow the normal laws of nature, Kunlun would probably have to wait ten years to accumulate enough power to step onto the stage of the Inner World.

Now, Qing Chen has shortened this process all by himself.

With the Purple Orchid Star, Kunlun can produce a significant number of high-end combatants in just one year.

Qing Chen glanced at Zheng Yuandong: "Speaking of which, Boss Zheng, aren't you here to poach people? Jiuzhou has already started poaching people."

Zheng Yuandong shook his head with a smile, "What's there to rob? Kunlun is here to protect everyone in the country, not anyone's private property. I'm naturally happy if those students join the Knights and Bai Zhou becomes stronger. Of course, there's a prerequisite: Bai Zhou must first be an organization with principles and a bottom line."

Qing Chen nodded. "Boss Zheng is quite open-minded."

Zheng Yuandong shook his head again. "It has nothing to do with being enlightened or not. First of all, the scope of your selection this time is very clever. They are all students that Kunlun has already eliminated to the Foundation Academy. We have confirmed that they have no talent for cultivation and no special skills in technology. Kunlun never expected them to have any great abilities, and Kunlun has no ability to make them great. So, if you can make them shine and not be buried, that is your skill. If you discover people that Kunlun has given up on, and Kunlun turns around and tries to snatch them away, wouldn't that be a bit shameless? Don't worry, I won't compete with you for these people."

"I hope Boss Zheng can think that way. Don't worry, Bai Zhou will not do anything that goes against the principles of Kunlun. That's my promise," Qing Chen said with a smile.

Zheng Yuandong looked at him. "In what capacity?"

"The boss of daylight, the next leader of the knights, the Secret Intelligence Department..."

Zheng Yuandong waved and left before the conversation was over. "We're about to go to the Inner World to start the war. Don't worry, He Jinqiu and I will definitely take action, but you must be careful. This battle won't be easy. There's an elite force from the Chen family in the Field Division; it's one of Chen Yu's direct troops."

"Boss Zheng, remember to bring me what I asked for," Qing Chen called out.

"Don't worry!" Zheng Yuandong said.

Qing Chen then looked at Sun Chuci: "Go, call Xiao Qi and the others back to trim their nails and hair. Reproduction on Purple Orchid Star should stop here. If we continue, everyone will go bald."

The families and students at the Agricultural Academy are working enthusiastically, all full of energy.

Today, the War Fortress welcomes its second crop fertilization, and all the original crops will quadruple today.

Qing Chen has one regret.

He currently has three forces under his complete control: Daylight, the Parent's Association, and the Freemasons.

There are three forces that he hasn't fully controlled yet, but will eventually control: the Shadow Unit, the Secret Intelligence Department, and the more than nine hundred intelligence personnel he rescued from A02 Base.

However, since Purple Orchid Star grew on Whale Island in the Outer World, he had no way to rapidly improve the latter three forces, because these things could no longer be brought back to the Inner World.

If he could, it wouldn't take long. Give him another year, and he could make the grandsons of Kashima, Kamishiro, and the Chen family feel the fear of being dominated by the Agricultural Academy.

These three forces have such a strong foundation, especially the first two, whose foundations were laid very solidly by the Shadow.

Their strength is so solid that Qing Chen only needs to add a little something extra to make them transform again, to the point that the whole world will fear them.

What a pity.

The Agricultural Academy's resources couldn't help them.

Wait, Qing Chen suddenly thought of something. The Purple Orchid Star that were bred later could not be taken to the Inner World, but could the products of the seven Purple Orchid Star that were originally transplanted from the Inner World be taken there? Those were not things that originated on Whale Island.

Even if the products cannot leave Whale Island, there are already enough Purple Orchid Star on Whale Island, so he can transplant those seven Purple Orchid Star back to the Inner World.

This is considered as having a child through surrogacy and then returning it to its rightful owner. It should also be considered as fixing a bug in Whale Island, right?

Everyone at the Agricultural Academy was busy working.

Qing Chen lay back in his chair, planning his fame like a wealthy landlord:

During the Longevity Sky, Jingshan Tea have reached their usage limits, and each of them has become a monstrous strength user of their level, and also possesses an extremely long vision range.

There are three people who need to be seamlessly connected with Purple Orchid Star: Li Tongyun, Liu Dezhu, and Nan Gengchen.

Daytime hours are the top priority, followed by the Parent's Association.

The sixteen Golden Family also received priority allocations from Longevity Sky and Jingshan Tea. Xiao Qi, Xiao Wu, and the others were all beaming with joy. Only those who fight every day would be so eager for every bit of power.

Qing Chen will prioritize ensuring a seamless transition for their Purple Orchid Star, thus increasing their survival rate as they expand their territory.

Moreover, Whale Island is actually like a logistical hospital.

These sixteen Golden Family are currently in a state of constant warfare in the Inner World.

They only need to choose to fight other groups when they are close to their return, so that if they are injured, they can quickly return to the Outer World and use the Chicken Blood Sprout to recover their health.

Xiao Qi jokingly said that this could be considered the "medical insurance" Parent's Association's meeting.

Qing Chen could even imagine that the next time Xiao Qi and his friends went to fight the gang, everyone would be seriously injured for the first hour, but after returning and transmigrating an hour later, they would all be instantly healed and become energetic and roaring with excitement...

This one move alone is enough to scare away many rival gangs...

Wait, no, no, these sixteen Golden Family have been cultivating using the Purple Orchid Star, how could the Inner World sect possibly have a chance to harm them...?

After the daytime parent- Parent's Association, the Jiuzhou, Kunlun, Time Walker Academy, the Qing Clan Six Disciples, and the Freemasons will proceed in parallel.

After a second planting, the Purple Orchid Star has reached 28 plants, each producing three spikes of leaves per day, totaling 588 spikes every seven days.

One leaf lasts for seven days, and 588 ears of grain mean 588 people can seamlessly use the Purple Orchid Star.

Currently, daytime hours and Parent's Association only occupy 19 days of the year.

Thinking about this, Qing Chen started scratching his head.

Even if six more ears of grain are given to the Qing Clan Six Disciples, only 25 ears of grain are used.

The supplementary agreement previously agreed upon with Jiuzhou was for 6 ears of grain, Qing Chen decided to increase it to 48 ears.

The supplementary agreement that had been promised to Kunlun was also for 6 ears of grain, Qing Chen decided to increase it to 96 ears of grain.

The Time Walker Academy also offers 96 grains, which is a way to drain the students and make them continue to work hard to exchange information for points.

The Freemasons have a total of 89 members, so they will provide 89 ears of grain.

That's right, it's that grand.

However, even with Qing Chen's generosity, he only used 354 ears of grain...

I still have 234 ears of grain left, and I don't know what to do with them. It's so frustrating.

The Agricultural Academy had some reserves to pay rewards to the Cliff Challenger, but the Cliff Challenge only has nine levels, and the rewards will eventually run out. What should be done with the extra Purple Orchid Star then?

Qing Chen exclaimed in disbelief that he was far too wealthy!

If Chen Yu knew how wealthy he was, and also knew about his troubles, wouldn't this demigod Chen be furious?

Qing Chen called Luo Wanyai: "Select another 48 family members with good cultivation talent to go to the island. This time, we don't have to limit ourselves to the Golden Family; we can also choose from the silver-level family members."

Luo Wanyai hesitated for a moment before quickly agreeing, "By the way, boss, the thing you asked me to prepare before, I'm afraid it will have to wait. You requested that this matter be kept secret, so it will take a while to get it done."

Qing Chen instructed him to purchase a set of the best cold-weather mountaineering and skiing equipment, but not in a grand manner to avoid attracting attention from those with ulterior motives; the purchase should be done in smaller, more dispersed ways.

In addition, we need a reliable Sherpa guide from the foot of the south slope of Mount Everest.

Mount Everest is where he will face his next Life and Death Trial challenge.

The knight's Life and Death Trial is relatively hidden, but that's for most people.

The high-ranking members of the conglomerate must have various records of the Knight's Life and Death Trial, otherwise how could Chen Yu have accurately found his senior brother Chen Jiazhang?

Qing Chen did not plan to undergo tribulation in the Inner World; he felt it was safer in the Outer World, and Mount Everest was his first choice.

However, what he needs to do now is wait for April to arrive, otherwise the black storms on Mount Everest will be enough to turn the place into a no-man's land.

Once Qing Chen reaches the Everest base camp at an altitude of 6,000 meters, he will need to continuously activate the Knight's Reverse Breathing Technique and the Myriad Thunder Department Reverse Breathing Technique every hour to transform himself back into an ordinary person and allow his body to return to an ordinary state for half a month to adapt to the high-altitude climate.

Only then can you reach the top.

That was when he was in the most danger.

This is a Life and Death Trial, Qing Chen must be extremely careful.

Because he has far too many enemies now.

Qing Chen lay on the recliner, looking at the dome of the War Fortress.

Soon, all students at Time Walker Academy will be able to enjoy Jingshan Tea.

However, the person who first Jingshan Tea is no longer here.

This time, many people will be buried with them.

Countdown 01:00:00.

The last hour.

Zard, Sun Chuci, Tuanzi quietly made their way back to the War Fortress through the secret passage.

They need to prepare for battle.

Sun Chuci and Tuanzi were both cultivating at an extremely fast pace. Not only did they cultivate with the Purple Orchid Star in their mouths when they returned to their dorm, but during the day in the academy, Xiao Qi would also press them to the ground and give them empowerment.

When Sun Chuci was pinned down, he was stunned and hurriedly said no, no, after all, Xiao Qi was giving them the empowerment, and he had to output the Zhunti True Qi, which would slow down the cultivation speed.

For Xiao Qi and others to cultivate their Qi channels, they need sufficient Zhunti True Qi to flow continuously within them in order to strengthen their Qi channels.

But for Xiao Qi and the others, they weren't helping Sun Chuci and Tuanzi at all; they were worried that these two weaklings would hold their parents back on the battlefield...

As a result, after a week, Sun Chuci and Tuanzi received initiations during the day and practiced at night, and they were about to break through to the C-Class...

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Xiao Ying stood at the door carrying several wooden crates, waiting for Xiao Qi others to carry the crates into the War Fortress before leaving.

Qing Chen pried open the box, revealing a pile of weapons inside. They were all cluster bombs that Kunlun had transported from outside Whale Island, making it seem like they were going to start a war in the Inner World.

With a sapling balanced on his head, Zard stuffed packets of cluster bombs into his body until he was stuffed back into a chuckle, then chuckled and said, "Boss, how about the title Zard, the time-traveling arms dealer?"

Qing Chen said earnestly, "Very good."

Zard beamed with joy.

It has to be said that with Zard acting as a bridge Inner World, Qing Chen has a lot more things to do.

Who says superhumans have to fight hand-to-hand? Wouldn't it be easier to bring cluster bombs?

Tuanzi looked at the bombs curiously and asked, "We shouldn't be in any danger this time, right? Boss, didn't you say that Boss He and Boss Zheng were here too?"

Qing Chen poured cold water on the idea, saying, "It's not that simple. We still have many dangers to face."

On the Inner World, there is another Chen-style Field Division waiting for them.

Although the Field Division's strength was significantly depleted before its return, it still had more than 6,000 men.

Currently, the players at their peak are Qing Chen, Huan Yu, Yang Yang, He Jinqiu, Zheng Yuandong, Ding Dong, Gu Dong, and the wild boars from Forbidden Zone No. 002. Zard's arm hasn't fully recovered yet, so he's not at his peak.

With just a few of them, it was still quite difficult to fight against more than 6,000 fully armed troops.

It should be noted that Field Division is already a fully-fledged main force on the front lines, and the entire Federation has only 32 land Field Division.

According to the standard configuration of the Federation Group Army, a Field Division is equipped with at least one A-level senior colonel, more than ten B-Class and C-Class officers, and hundreds of D-Class gene warriors to form a special forces unit.

Of the more than 6,000 people, 600 are assigned to control war robots, drones, and mechanical spiders via neural connections.

This is the part Qing Chen is least worried about. As long as he activates his electromagnetic pulse field, no electronic mechanized force can fight him in close combat.

But this Field Division also has a heavy firepower unit of two thousand men.

Now, Qing Chen's biggest worry is that the Field Division has completed its long-range firepower deployment. After crossing the border, the enemy only needs to provide a firepower coverage of one ammunition load, and all of them will be wiped out on the spot.

Qing Chen's You Ju, Wu Ju, cannot stop heavy artillery shells.

Even with new reinforcements like He Jinqiu and Zheng Yuandong, facing a fully-fledged regular army, they are not entirely without worries.

Moreover, how could the Chen family demigod, who personally led the attack to kill Shadow and Qing Chen, only bring along one unlucky A-level expert Chen Bing?

There must be other experts from the Chen family in the crowd!

Therefore, the first thing to do after crossing over is to transfer and use the speed of a superhuman to quickly break into the Field Division, so that the Field Division's heavy firepower units cannot kill their own people as well.

The second thing is to destroy the heavy firepower units.

Both things need to be done simultaneously.

Only after completing these two tasks and eliminating the most deadly threat can Qing Chen and his group fight with confidence against the experts in the Field Division, and only then can they use their strong individual strength to break through.

Just then, there was a knock at the War Fortress. Qing Chen was taken aback. Who would come to the War Fortress at this hour?

He went to open the door, only to see Huan Yu standing there with dark circles under his eyes... This guy hadn't slept for three days and three nights.

Qing Chen and Huan Yu stood at the door, speechless. Their mental fortitude was so strong that they endured it for half an hour without either of them uttering a single word...

Finally, Huan Yu spoke up, "Call Zard out."

Qing Chen turned and walked into the War Fortress: "Zard, I'm here to see you."

Zard, whose body was stuffed with cluster bombs, hopped and skipped toward the door, then got stuck inside the small iron door.

He glanced at Huan Yu's dark circles and asked, "Big brother, is this your limited-edition skin?"

Huan Yu irritably took a backpack off her back and handed it to Zard: "Take this to the Inner World and throw it into the sky as soon as possible."

"Oh, okay," Zard nodded.

Huan Yu glared at him. "Don't follow Qing Chen around so much in the future. If it weren't for the fact that Little Yu would be sad if you died, I would really like you to die on the battlefield."

After saying that, Huan Yu turned and left.

Zard then stuffed the backpack into his stomach.

Qing Chen suddenly asked curiously, "There's something I don't understand. Since Huan Yu is a member of the Chen family, won't there be any repercussions after he intervenes in the Chen family's actions against us? Won't he be expelled from the Chen family and forced to live as a fugitive?"

Zard explained with a smile, "It's alright, the Chen family doesn't know it was him."

Qing Chen was stunned. With such a distinctive ability, why couldn't the Chen family determine Huan Yu's true identity?

Could it be that Huan Yu has never displayed such abilities within the Chen family?

Etc.

Since Huan Yu is a member of the Chen family, his path of inheritance should be the same as Chen Yu's, right? However, Qing Chen has never seen Huan Yu use the Chen family's inherited abilities.

So, is Huan Yu actually a dual cultivator of both Awakened being and a practitioner?

He only uses the abilities of Awakened to conceal his identity outside, but within the Chen family, he only uses his identity as a "painter".

In this way, no one will know who the young man who controlled the swift was.

Qing Chen kept searching for relevant information in his mind... At this moment, he discovered a very important piece of historical information.

Ren Xiaosu's wife, Yang Xiaojin, had an aunt named Yang Anjing who died in the early days of the Omnic Crisis.

According to Li's historical records, this Yang Anjing could control thousands of paper cranes to kill people, which made him quite powerful.

However, after Yang Anjing passed away, no one found Forbidden Item related to her. The Hu Corporation Intelligence Agency kept the Forbidden Item ACE-066 vacant, waiting for Forbidden Item to appear.

This is a strange situation; usually, only Forbidden Item are given a number by Hu.

However, this Forbidden Item was one of them. Although Mr. Hu had never seen it, he was certain that it existed, so he gave it a number that came early in the list.

Qing Chen suddenly wondered if Huan Yu's ability to manipulate paper swifts could be Forbidden Item from Yang Anjing.

The countdown has reached zero.

Time travel.

The world was plunged into darkness.

Light returned.

Qing Chen snapped out of his speculation, "Yang Yang, go take care of the heavy firepower units. The rest of you, follow me and charge!"

The next moment, Zard took the cluster bombs out of his body one by one and threw them to Yang Yang. The girl, carrying the bombs, soared into the sky and flew over the Field Division's position to the rear.

At this moment, she could already see the distant roar of cannons in the sky!

Not good!

Just as Qing Chen had predicted, the Chen family's heavy firepower units had completed their ballistic deployment and opened fire!

In an instant, Huan Yu roared from not far from the battlefield, "Throw!"

At that moment, Huan Yu felt the soil beneath his feet suddenly transform into a giant hand, hurling him into the air. Huan Yu was utterly enraged. "I told you to throw that backpack, not me!"

Zard paused for a moment, then quickly took his backpack out of his body and threw it into the air.

With a tearing sound.

Hundreds of white swifts hidden in the backpacks burst through the bags in an instant, flying into the sky like a torrential downpour, piercing through the sky like shuttles!

But then, swifts flew precisely into the first volley of shells fired by Chen Clan troops, intercepting them in mid-air!
