In the college dormitory.
Jiang Xue went to the college to complete her onboarding procedures.
Li Tongyun hurriedly led Jinguji 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, "Xiao Zhenqi and I are both independent people. We should be sharing a room. How could they arrange for me and my mother to stay together and for Xiao Zhenqi and me to share a bed? How can we move around freely?!"
Nan Gengchen chuckled and said, "You should be content. If we had arranged for you to live 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 up to the bar with a smile and looked at the drink menu: "Hey? 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 Timewalker Academy, the dormitory area in the Timewalker Academy has internet cafes, bars, billiard halls, tennis courts, badminton courts, basketball courts, football fields, table tennis 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 can only have 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 wonderful world of flowers and flowers has shut her out.
Nan Gengchen chuckled and said, "You should wait until you're older to talk about it. At your age, you should act like a child."
Li Tongyun said in a pretentious tone, "Once I get a Boy Scout out of this academy, the future of the entire Timewalker will belong to us, Bai Zhou, in a few years."
“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 glanced at him sideways: "Brother Qingchen said he wanted to come in anonymously. If you go to pick him up, the whole school will know he's Qingchen!"
"Oh, that's true..."
Li Tongyun sighed, "I'm truly worried about the future of daylight..."
Nan Gengchen: "..."
However, at that moment, Maki Jinguji 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.
Lu Yuan sat behind the counter by the door, playing King of Glory 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 really amazing; you can't tell it's a disguise at all."
The only condition for Qingchen 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 looked 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 a question: "You also sent Qing Yuan an admission notice, right? Has he come to 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,” Qingchen 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 result of countless hours of effort from Boss Zheng, and it won’t disappoint you,” Lu Yuan said. “Even a time traveler like you will find something there that will attract you. There are also plenty of entertainment venues, including free bars.”
Qing Chen asked, "A bar? Are the bar's employees Time Travelers?"
“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 and settled on the island.”
"Wait!" Qing Chen was taken aback: "People from the Inner World!?"
This means that Whale Island was brought from the Otherworld by Zheng Yuandong after he took it in.
Moreover, Whale Island is a forbidden object 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 a Class A airship from the Otherworld!
Lu Yuan laughed and said, "I know what you're thinking, and Boss Zheng has thought about it too. But we call the people who came to the real world from the island stowaways, and their goods are smuggled goods. They are all things that the real world cannot tolerate, and they will be destroyed once they leave the island."
Lu Yuan laughed and said, "You should have guessed that it's Whale Island. It has many secrets, and there's more to attract you than just these on the island."
Qing Chen pondered, "The Eye of True Sight? I'm very curious. The forbidden item ACE-004, the Eye of True Sight, can open any door..."
Lu Yuan corrected, "It's not the Anywhere Door, it's called the Key Door, the true name passed down from the wizarding tradition."
"Hmm, the Key Gate, it opens in the place the holder most wants to go, so can it travel between two worlds?" Qing Chen asked.
“No, at least not the known True Sight Eyes,” Lu Yuan glanced at Qing Chen. “We don’t have the ability to freely travel between the two worlds. Whale Island is on the high seas of the surface world.”
"I still have a question. There are a total of five reporting locations across the country, so all five people need to set the academy as their 'most desired place to go.' How is that possible?" Qing Chen asked in confusion.
It's important to understand that this key door 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 gates, 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 they had to go to the academy island to collect their year-end bonuses, or they wouldn't get them. So all the key gates these kids opened went to the island."
Qing Chen was both amused and exasperated.
As they were talking, a mother and son suddenly walked into the bookstore, pulling suitcases. They asked bluntly, "Is this where you register for the Time Traveler Academy?"
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Auntie, this is it."
The woman nodded and looked around the bookstore: "Your school is too rudimentary, it's like a training center."
Lu Yuan laughed: "The real school isn't here."
After saying that, he led Qingchen and the others to the back of the iron gate and said, "Just go through this gate."
Qingchen 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 up 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 underworld to make his bed?"
“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 talk to about this. 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 was angry: "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?"
Qingchen 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 Otherworld. Tell him whatever 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.
Test complete.
Chapter 610, Top Male Host, Chen Sui!
The fishy smell brought by the waves filled the air.
White seagulls floated in the distance, creating a scene reminiscent of a secluded paradise.
At that moment, an ocean-going cargo ship slowly passed by from more than 20 kilometers away. The words "Hu's Transportation Group" were written on the hull, but the people on board seemed not to see the island at all.
Qingchen looked up at the sun and then visually estimated the angle of the shadow on the ground.
"Are you calculating its location? What do you think? The scenery here is pretty good, isn't it?" someone said.
Qing Chen turned around and was shocked to see Zheng Yuandong and He Jinqiu standing on the edge of the cliff not far behind him.
Boss Zheng was still wearing a Zhongshan suit, while He Jinqiu smiled faintly, his hand never leaving his black scepter.
Qing Chen asked with a smile, "Is this black scepter a forbidden item? But it doesn't seem to be recorded in the records of the Inner World Federation?"
He Jinqiu smiled nonchalantly and said, "My friends in North America are too kind. They insisted on giving this to me. I said I didn't want it, and in a fit of anger, they gave me their life and the scepter together."
"That's too kind of you," Qingchen said with emotion. "I wish I had friends like that too."
“There are many friends like this, but you have to find them yourself,” He Jinqiu said with a smile.
