After taking out some personal belongings, Li Yu went to the bathroom to wash up again, since his hands were still covered in blood. When he came out, he saw that his phone kept ringing.

He picked up his phone and saw that he had been added to a class group chat. It was Asuna who had added him, and all 43 students in the class were in the group. They were currently checking in to let everyone know they were safe.

Furthermore, Li Yu automatically became the group owner, and Li Yu also received many friend requests, all from people in the group. Seeing this, Li Yu chose to accept them one by one.

After finishing all this, Li Yu directly tagged all members in the group and then sent out a message.

Li Yu: [@All members, I've brought back all the materials from the base. Discuss what to do with them—sell them and distribute the proceeds, or keep them for future equipment upgrades.]

As soon as the message was sent, a flood of messages appeared. Without exception, they all decided to keep it for upgrading equipment. Some classmates who were rich even said in the group that they would send some ore over so that Li Yu could help them strengthen their equipment, and they would even pay for it.

Now that everyone is back in this world, they can't rely on Li Yu's help to strengthen their characters the same way they did back there. They still have to pay up, otherwise, who will help them?

Li Yu: [Okay, but not all materials will work. I'll post an announcement later. If you want to upgrade, go find the materials listed above.]

Xia Yu: [Okay, class monitor, send it out quickly, then I'll have my dad look for it!]

Ye Zi: [Received!]

Yun Shu: [Okay!]

Li Yu: [You guys handle the materials you have yourselves. Discuss with your team members how to divide them.]

Standing by the bed, Li Yu used his strength to dry his wet hair, then lay down and started chatting with everyone. Besides the materials Li Yu had, the others had quite a few Magic Stone.

These can all be sold for money, which is why Li Yu reminded everyone to share the profits. Thinking of this, Li Yu suddenly remembered that he still had those Valis from the other world in his possession.

Thinking of this, Li Yu felt somewhat helpless. Several hundred million Valis would need to be converted into the currency of their world. He would go ask Principal Hu on Monday.

The two worlds will be connected in the future, and these things will definitely be useful. However, this money is the common fund of the Familia, and now that we've returned, we should naturally exchange it for the currency of this world.

After chatting with everyone in the group for a while, Li Yu logged out and started browsing the news online to see if anything new had happened.

Looking at the trending topics, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Yu's eyes. The biggest news right now was the upcoming college entrance examination, and besides that, there was the appearance of a new Dimensional Rift?

Moreover, the place where they appeared was on the Boundary Island, which was where Li Yu and his friends were going to school. Li Yu was immediately curious: what kind of world was that?

A quick search revealed that the official information is limited, but no monsters appeared in this Dimensional Rift.

Or perhaps there were monsters, but they were all easily eliminated? After all, on that island, some low-level monsters could be killed by anyone on the roadside.

After reading the news, Li Yu continued browsing. Soon, Li Yu found another news item that seemed to be related to him: the Martial Arts he had previously taught Principal Hu were now being formally incorporated into the university's curriculum.

Even the Flight Magic has been revealed, but the learning threshold is very high, requiring a strength level of Fifth Tier or higher to learn. Li Yu's lips curled up slightly as he read the news.

He had gradually left some traces in this world. With that thought in mind, Li Yu played some musical notes and then began to rest, since it was already 11 p. m.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, Li Yu was awakened by a knock on the door. Hearing the sound, Li Yu woke up from his sleep, sensed Asuna dressed outside, Li Yu got up with a yawn to open the door.

Asuna, seeing Li Yu's messy hair and obvious recent awakening, was taken aback and said, "You just woke up? I thought you'd been awake for a while."

"I'm finally back, so I should get a good night's sleep. I didn't even activate my meditation array yesterday. What are you doing so early?" Li Yu replied casually before asking in return.

Then he turned and headed towards the bathroom, and Asuna walked straight in and said, "I told you to go eat breakfast, so hurry up and brush your teeth, then come out for breakfast with me. I also made plans with Yukino and the others."

Hearing Asuna's words, Li Yu said somewhat speechlessly, "Alright, wait a minute, I'll brush my teeth and wash my face, it'll only take a few minutes."

As soon as she finished speaking, the sounds of running water and brushing teeth came from the bathroom, and Asuna waited quietly.

After quickly brushing her teeth and washing her face, Li Yu went out into her room to change her clothes. In just five minutes, Li Yu was ready and said, "Let's go, lead the way."

All I can say is that boys are really fast. Girls can't do what Li Yu does; it would take them at least half an hour to get out of the room. Asuna muttered to herself for a moment, then followed Li Yu out of the room and headed towards the elevator.

"We're planning to go shopping today, do you want to come along?" As they went downstairs, Asuna extended an invitation to Li Yu. It's a holiday, after all, so why not go out and have some fun?

"No, I'm very busy after this. After all, I'm going there on a mission, and I still need to give some things to Principal Wu on Monday." Li Yu refused Asuna's invitation outright.

After being rejected, Asuna paused for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Need help? Knowledge from that world? I can help translate that too."

Since Li Yu didn't want to go, she simply changed her strategy and decided to help Li Yu handle these matters, otherwise Li Yu would probably be very busy by herself.

"Not going to play anymore?" Li Yu looked at Asuna with some amusement. Asuna had just invited Li Yu to play, but now she was turning her back on the idea and asking Li Yu if she needed any help.

"Hmm, I won't go. If you don't want to go..." Asuna nodded. He had things to do, so she would help him out. There would be other opportunities to go later.

"Then translate Miach's book for me, and I'll organize Hephaestus's forging techniques." Seeing this, Li Yu didn't ask any further questions, but instead assigned her tasks.

Asuna nodded and said, "Okay, I'll have Kato and the others come along too, and help you take care of these things first."

She believed that Kato Megumi and the others wouldn't refuse. As the two chatted, the elevator arrived downstairs, and then, led by Asuna, the two headed towards the place they had agreed to meet Kato Megumi and the others.

Asuna led Li Yu to a teahouse. After she went inside and spoke to the waiter, she was led to a private room. When they arrived and pushed open the door, they saw Kato Megumi and Yukino Yukinoshita.

A table full of breakfast had already been ordered, and tea had even been brewed for the two of them. Looking at this scene, Li Yu said with some surprise, "You two actually like this too?"

He really didn't expect that the group would be having morning tea. Li Yu went forward, pulled out a chair, sat down, and then picked up his chopsticks and began to eat without any politeness.

Before he transmigrated to this world, he quite liked it, but he usually didn't come alone; he would invite some people along. This was the first time he had morning tea since coming to this world.

"Of course I like it. Who doesn't like a delicious and satisfying breakfast?" Yukino Yukinoshita tossed her hair and started eating. She didn't need anyone to invite her; after all, they weren't strangers.

"Today's plans have changed. Let's help Li Yu translate the documents; Li Yu 'll need to submit them to the principal later." Asuna picked up her chopsticks as well, and she mentioned this as well.

Upon hearing Asuna's words, Yukino glanced at Li Yu, then nodded and said, "Alright, just tell me what you need me to do."

Since she had things to do, she decided not to go out and play; she could do it later when she had time. Her thoughts were the same as Asuna's, and she didn't care about this.

"Translate the materials from that world? Li Yu, you brought all those books back. We need to help translate them into the language of this world?" Kato Megumi couldn't help but ask.

"No need for translation, you can just make a text-to-text table, and then we'll just hand the books over to them. The main one is Miach's book; I don't plan to hand over the original." Li Yu stated this idea.

The only book that needs translating is Miach's. As for the others, just submit a word list. If they can learn them so quickly, then others will certainly be able to as well.

Translating the entire thing would be such a waste of time, so there's no need. Li Yu originally intended to keep Miach's copy as well; how could he possibly give away a book written by God?

"In that case, it's simple. We should be able to get it done quickly. I'll write the text comparison table. How about you and Megumi translate Miach's books together, Asuna?" Yukino Yukinoshita nodded thoughtfully and took on the task of writing the text comparison table.

"I'm fine with it!" Kato Megumi was the first to nod in agreement. She had also read Miach's book, and translating it wasn't difficult. The main problem was the illustrations, because some of the herbs needed to be redrawn.

"I'm fine with that too. It's decided then. Li Yu, you can go and write down your forging techniques. Leave these things to me. If we don't have enough manpower, we can call the other classmates to help." Asuna also spoke up.

The group quickly settled the matter in a few words and then began to enjoy their morning tea. A table full of delicious food was devoured by the four of them, and by the time they finished their tea, it was already past ten o'clock.

After having eaten and drunk their fill, the four got up and left the teahouse to buy some things to get busy. After buying notebooks and other items, they went to Li Yu's house and began their work.

Lunch was also eaten at Li Yu's house. In one day, everyone had basically taken care of everything. Li Yu was now doing the final checks.

After finding nothing amiss, he put the items away. Seeing this, Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but ask, "Besides this knowledge, is there anything else you need to submit? There should be quite a reward, right?"

Although their trip was relatively short, with Li Yu as a "bug," they learned a great deal; just acquiring Miach's notes alone was a significant achievement.

Not to mention, Li Yu also plans to submit the forging techniques of the God of Forging. Last time, Li Yu received a Space Ring as a reward; this time, it will likely be even more, right?

"There will definitely be a reward, we'll consider it later. I don't lack anything right now, or if you need anything, you can tell me." Li Yu put the items into his Space Ring and then looked at the three of them.

Li Yu has no shortage of material needs for the time being, and he doesn't need Space Ring or anything like that. As for True Magic? He doesn't need it either. The principal sponsored a lot of magic before, and Li Yu has learned it all and even incorporated it into elemental True Magic.

Hearing Li Yu say this, Asuna couldn't help but say, "Then why don't you exchange some Space Ring? These things are priceless and hard to find. If possible, I'd like to buy one from you."

Given this opportunity, Asuna didn't want to give up. She wanted the Space Ring more than the Space Backpack. Yukino Yukinoshita, who was standing next to her, nodded in agreement, sharing the same thought.

Only Kato Megumi didn't. After all, she didn't have enough funds to buy such a Space Ring; it was too expensive. She'd think about it another time. So she remained silent.

"Space Ring? If you want them, I'll try to make some for you." Li Yu agreed when he heard their suggestion. He figured he could get several just for a bit bigger than a Space Backpack.

"Then I'll trouble you. But it would be best if you could see if there's anything you need, exchange your things first, and then consider us. If not, that's fine too." Asuna's eyes lit up when she saw Li Yu agree so readily.

At the same time, she didn't forget to remind the previous person to exchange for things that are useful to them first, and then exchange for the Space Ring if they have any extras.

"I know, but I don't really lack anything right now. If I had to say what I lack, it would probably be a girlfriend." Li Yu stroked his chin, and after thinking for a while, he realized that he didn't have any particular needs.

The three girls rolled their eyes when they heard Li Yu say that, but none of them said anything. Did Li Yu lack a girlfriend? If he had that idea, then probably many people in the class would be willing to be his girlfriend, including... me, Asuna thought to herself.

Seeing that none of the three spoke, Li Yu shrugged and didn't continue the conversation. Instead, she stood up and said, "I'll go cook. You can eat before you leave."

After saying that, Li Yu headed towards the kitchen. Asuna got up and followed him, starting to help Li Yu with his work. Kato Megumi and Yukino, who were free, took out their phones and started watching videos.

After having dinner at Li Yu's house, Kato Megumi and Yukino said their goodbyes and left. Asuna also went upstairs. After seeing them off, Li Yu began to attend to other matters.

He released Apollo's corpse directly. Looking at Apollo's body, which he had stabbed through and had a dagger stuck in his chest, Li Yu took out his staff and used it to bathe in Apollo's blood.

The staff was placed on the wound, and the golden Divine Blood began to be absorbed by the staff in Li Yu's hand. The staff, which was already of the highest grade, underwent a transformation at this moment. In this way, Li Yu now possessed two divine artifacts that could be used as family heirlooms.

Looking at the two weapons in his hands, Li Yu couldn't help but sigh. These were weapons that others might not be able to acquire even after a lifetime of effort. However, a Tang Dao and a magic staff were still too troublesome. Could they be fused together?

The two weapons were merged into one, and when needed, they could be transformed on the spot without needing to be taken out again. This made things more convenient for Li Yu in battle.

Li Yu began to ponder the possibility of fusing the two weapons, allowing him to easily switch between a sword and a staff at any time. This seemed to require a very high-grade material.

Upon realizing this, Li Yu's eyes lit up. He would ask Principal Hu tomorrow if he had any such materials. If so, Li Yu would use them to refine his ideas; otherwise, he would have to abandon them for now and think of a solution later.

Having made his decision, Li Yu put away both weapons, glanced at Apollo's corpse, Li Yu spat, "Bad luck!"

After making a comment, Li Yu collected some Divine Blood and stored it away, knowing it would be useful later. Once he finished, Li Yu put it back into his Space Ring.

The weekend passed in the blink of an eye, and on Monday, Li Yu and Asuna headed towards the school together. Upon arriving at the school, Li Yu did not follow Asuna to the classroom, leaving her to go by herself. Instead, Li Yu went directly to the building where Principal Hu was located.

When he arrived, he saw Principal Hu waiting below. Upon seeing Li Yu, Principal Hu waved and then turned to walk into the building.

Seeing this, Li Yu quickened his pace. He seemed to know he was coming, so he waited there. He caught up with Principal Hu, who didn't speak but led Li Yu into his office before saying, "You really surprise me. I didn't expect you to actually succeed in killing a god."

Principal Hu turned to look at Li Yu, his eyes filled with amazement. He had been speechless for a long time when he heard the news; it was truly a pleasant surprise for him.

"It was just luck. Without Teacher Yor's help, I wouldn't have been able to succeed so easily." Li Yu Li Yu said this very modestly. He was well aware that Yor's knife was at least half the reason for his success.
