Xiaoyu looked up blankly: "Wenbo, you mean this is the chance to latch onto someone powerful? What does this have to do with latching onto someone powerful? We're supposed to be cultivators, why are we going to farm?"
They were sent back by the shadows long ago, and Qingchen asked Zhang Mengqian to dig up the plants behind their backs.
But Yi Wenbo pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know why, but I'm convinced that this matter must be related to him. If you want to continue to curry favor with him, you'd better sign up quickly."
After they filled out the registration form, they were stunned to see that there were "4" registered users in the post.
What's going on? Only those four people signed up?
"Is something wrong? Is the webpage stuck?" Yi Wenbo asked, puzzled.
Yi Wenbo stared at the post for a long time before the number 4 finally jumped to the number 6, and finally settled on the number 7.
The Timewalker Academy has four colleges in total. The smallest college, the Science and Technology College, has more than 3,000 students, while the Agriculture College... has only 7 students?
Perhaps everyone is asleep now, so many people haven't seen the post yet?
Ma Jingjing closed the thread and took another look outside. She was stunned to find hundreds of threads and tens of thousands of comments, all discussing this newly emerged agricultural college.
Ma Jingjing wondered, "Could this agricultural college really just be about farming?"
On the forum, 'That Mage' posted a joking comment: 'I finally made it to the Timewalker Academy, and I'm already at the Basic Academy, but now I have to go farm. I don't know what those seven people who signed up were thinking.'
Someone replied, "Maybe they like farming? Anyway, I don't want to do any hard labor. I'm fine staying in the basic academy; I heard you can cultivate there too."
The user 'That Warrior' posted a question: 'Is this Agricultural College just a psychological tactic devised by Principal Zheng? The students who were assigned to the Basic College were all making a fuss, feeling like they had suddenly become inferior students and were somewhat resentful. Now, they've created an Agricultural College that's even lower-level than the Basic College, so the students in the Basic College aren't the worst anymore. Brilliant!'
Modern students don't even wash dishes at home.
At this time, if you ask them to go to the fields to plant, weed, kill pests, and fertilize, regardless of winter or summer, they will have to endure wind, sun, and snow. Which student would be willing to do such a thing?
Especially the girls, the thought of getting a dark tan under the sun made them hesitate.
Gradually, people on the college forum began to speculate about the identities of the seven idiots who had signed up, but you can't guess them just by guessing.
At this moment, Zard was sitting alone in his dorm room, frantically clicking the sign-up button.
No matter how he tried, the system kept displaying the message "You have been rejected".
Zard: "?"
He called Qingchen in grief and anger: "What's going on, boss? Are you kicking me while I'm down? I've done so much for Bai Zhou! I've shed blood for him! You can't treat me like this!"
Qing Chen replied calmly, "You're a specially appointed teacher at the College of Agriculture, what are you doing getting involved with the students?"
Zard immediately went from sad to happy: "Boss is so generous!"
The commotion at the College of Agriculture gradually subsided, and the students gradually fell asleep. Tomorrow was the first day of class, and going to class with panda eyes was not an option.
It was at 4 a.m.
The number of applicants suddenly jumped from 7 to 8.
Right now, Qingchen, with the sleepy Jinguji Maki and Li Tongyun by his side, stood not far from the main teaching building, planning the blueprints for the College of Agriculture.
He sat on the reef, took out a sketchbook, and began sketching with a pencil: "This is the watchtower...this is the crenellation, this is the city wall..."
Xiao Tongyun stood beside her, nodding her head repeatedly, her eyes opening and closing intermittently.
Fortunately, Maki Jinguji listened and diligently helped Keishin build a sketch of the Agricultural Academy: a home on Whale Island during the day.
However, the members of Daylight will not be going to the Agricultural Academy for the time being, as Qingchen does not want the academy to become particularly conspicuous.
...
...
Lu Yuan was awakened by a phone call early in the morning.
On the phone, Ni Ergou said in a voice that sounded like he had a toothache, "Hurry up, look out the window!"
Lu Yuan inexplicably pulled back the curtains and stood blankly in front of the French windows.
Before them stood a magnificent war fortress, surrounded by a black wall.
The walls reflected a metallic sheen, as if a celestial giant had descended to earth last night to cast the fortress entirely from black cast iron and then polished the outer walls smooth.
On the wall, there were locked windows, which anyone familiar with warfare would immediately recognize as prime machine gun positions on high ground.
At the top of the high walls, there are watchtowers and crenellations like those of the Great Wall.
Right below the wall, there was a huge gate and a small door, with a small sign hanging on the small door: Agricultural College.
Lu Yuan was about to vomit blood on the spot! What was Qing Chen doing? Why did he have to build a fortress on Whale Island?!
You're insane!
Mr. Zheng, you should do something about him!
At this very moment, thousands of students had just finished breakfast and were standing in the square outside the dormitory area, staring blankly at the magnificent fortress in the distance and the sign for the 'Agricultural College'.
Under the guidance of Maki Jinguji, Whale Island has begun to drift along the northern monsoon belt, with temperatures remaining between 23 and 28 degrees Celsius, and the students have all changed into summer clothes.
The boys were all wearing white short-sleeved shirts and dark blue pants.
The girls wore navy blue tops and navy blue knee-length pleated skirts, looking youthful, energetic, and elegant.
One student muttered, "Is this the Agricultural College? Are you sure it's not the War College?"
With an agricultural college turned out like this, the students are starting to wonder what they're actually learning...
Besides, your agricultural college just grows some crops, why are you guarding it so tightly?!
It's been turned into a war fortress!
Is that a nuclear bomb planted inside?!
If the Allies had encountered this thing during the Normandy landings, it's questionable whether they would have been able to successfully land...
"The Agricultural Academy has appeared! Where are its students? Let's take a look and see who has enrolled in the Agricultural Academy!" someone said.
At this moment, Ma Jingjing and the others gritted their teeth and walked towards the fortress amidst the questioning, puzzled, and absurd gazes of their classmates.
Upon reaching the gate, the small iron gate under the fortress was raised, and after they went in, it slammed shut again with a loud bang.
It was as if a monster had devoured them.
"Wait, isn't that the team of internet celebrity Ma Jingjing? How did those four get into the Agricultural College?"
"Hmm, that's strange."
"Eh? Kamishiro Kuane!"
Among the crowd, Kamishiro Sora walked towards the fortress and disappeared on the other side of the gate.
Upon arriving at the academy, the girl immediately became the center of attention due to her unique identity.
Everyone knows the story of her falling out with the Kamishiro Foundation, so she was given the nickname "Kamishiro's runaway princess".
But now, a princess has actually gone to farm?
Before they could finish their surprise, Nangong Yuanyu of the Freemasons came out and told the Freemason members, "I received a message from Mr. Shadow, asking me to enter the Agricultural Academy. Although I don't know why, since it is Mr. Shadow's order, I have to go and see."
The Freemasons nodded, noticing that these men, weathered by life, possessed a more resolute and stoic expression than their classmates.
All the Freemasons had sunburn marks on their faces and thick calluses on their hands, looking like people struggling to make a living in the wilderness.
Silent, low-key, organized and disciplined.
At this moment, Sun Chuci and Tuanzi also stepped out from the crowd and silently walked into the fortress.
All eight students from the College of Agriculture have arrived.
Chapter 627, The Deal with the Bystander Organization
The class schedule at Timewalker Academy is more flexible than that of secular academies.
Regardless of age, everyone starts class at 10 a.m., consisting of two short classes.
After two short classes in the afternoon, school ended at 3:40.
In their spare time, everyone can do what interests them, such as playing tennis, basketball, or soccer, or rent the college's laboratory to conduct experiments.
You can also rent a pool villa not far from the dormitory area to have a party.
You can also rent the school's server to set up a website or run a business.
But all expenses, such as drinks, special meals, and venue rentals, must be paid for with 'points'.
For example, if a matrix organization establishes a club, and someone in the club plays tennis for an hour, the individual will receive five points, and the club will receive five points.
If someone in the club participates in an outdoor survival extracurricular activity, the individual and the club will each receive 15 points.
If someone in the community provides Kunlun with important information about the underworld, the individual and the community will each receive 15 points.
There are also gravity fields for training, private instruction from the academy's combat skills instructors, and guides for those who want to travel to the forbidden wilderness—all of which can be 'bought' at the academy using points.
So, after class each day, the members of each club would start accumulating points for their guild, much like members of a game guild completing quests...
Busy as worker ants.
This is something Kunlun is happy to see. They hope that through these events, students will learn early on to earn enjoyment through hard work, instead of being waited on hand and foot like they are at home.
As it turns out, once this kind of atmosphere is established in the college, everyone is quite enthusiastic.
Even some of the laziest kids have started doing chores after school.
Various clubs are working hard to recruit students who excel at completing tasks, offering them all sorts of preferential treatment...
Some expert players who excel at completing missions and creating game guides immediately became highly sought after.
"Did you guys see the commotion at the Agricultural College just now?" Hongye Liuning asked in the dormitory.
Qing Chen shook his head: "I woke up late, what happened?"
Chen Sui curled his lip and said, "Someone actually signed up for the Agricultural Academy. I don't know what they were thinking. I've heard of that Nangong Yuanyu. He was assigned to the Extraordinary Academy, but he still signed up for the Agricultural Academy. The Extraordinary Academy has professional teachers to guide cultivation. What can the Agricultural Academy have? Are they going to find a teacher to teach them how to farm? They're just too young. They act on impulse and don't consider their future at all."
Qing Chen listened with amusement: "Is the Agricultural College really that bad?"
Chen Sui thought for a moment and said, "It's not that. This Agricultural College must have something special about it, otherwise Principal Zheng wouldn't have set up such a college. But the key question is, what exactly can the Agricultural College do? Nobody knows."
Actually, everyone's not stupid. That war fortress that rose out of nowhere was obviously extraordinary. But perspective and mindset determine imagination, and no one could really guess what could be done in the Agricultural College.
Even if you can grow the best things in the ground, it's still a secondary profession. How can it compare to the enjoyment of cultivation?
