"However, Tony Stark's armor! It should be controllable by artificial intelligence, right? So... my Friday should also be able to access it?"
Su Han's eyes flickered. Although Su Han had established Friday in his hometown, before leaving home, he had also transformed Friday into a mysterious card, which he carried with him at all times.
Once he arrives at his residence and unlocks the mystery card, he can then smoothly move Friday over.
"Looks like you slept well?" Su Zhu looked at Su Han with a smile, then noticed the cards in Su Han's palm and exclaimed, "When did you start collecting these cards? They look quite exquisite! Which brand of instant noodles did you eat to collect them?"
Su Han looked at Su Zhu speechlessly and put the cards away. "In your eyes... is eating instant noodles the only way to collect cards?"
"Isn't that right?" Su Zhu looked at Su Han strangely. "No one would deliberately buy these cards or something."
Su Han's brow twitched slightly, but he didn't argue with Su Zhu and simply put the mysterious card away. After all, arguing about it was pointless.
Time flew by, and the train arrived at the station. Su Han and Su Zhu boarded the black car prepared by Li Huo and arrived at Jinling University.
"As I told you before, the official start of the semester is in three days... well! It's two days from now! So please stay in the private student dormitory prepared by Jinling University for the next two days and rest. Someone will notify you when the semester starts!"
“Of course, if you wish to see Chairman Xu, you can also contact me through me… You can see him anytime in Jinling!” Li Huo bowed slightly to Su Han, then drove away in his black sedan. He was going back to see Xu Changnan.
"I didn't know before that you actually knew people in Jinling." Su Zhu finally revealed her doubts at this moment.
"Nobody knows what their online friend's identity is!" Su Han replied seriously. Actually, he wasn't wrong; he and Li Huo mostly communicated on WeChat.
"Although something felt off," Su Zhu bit her lower lip, thought for a moment, and then didn't ask any further questions. After all, everyone has their own secrets. Digging too deep wasn't something a good older sister should do.
However, when the two found their student dormitories, Su Zhu was quite surprised, "Huh?! University student dormitories are actually single rooms? And they're so big... Wait, why are my student dormitories right across from yours?"
Su Zhu fell into doubt about her life. Why did she always feel that this was not quite the same as the university dormitory situation she knew?
"Don't overthink it. The military exam has been reformed this year."
Su Han recalled the information Li Huo had shared, and immediately pointed upwards, answering seriously, "So our current situation is very different from what you know. That's normal... After you enroll, you'll find that our treatment, course training, and so on are completely different from those of previous students."
Of course, the general situation was the same as what Su Han said. The only difference was that Su Han and Su Zhu's dormitories were so close... it was indeed because Xu Changnan had used his connections.
They said goodbye and went to their respective dormitories. Su Han unlocked the mysterious card and restarted the artificial intelligence Friday.
He even removed all thirteen Iron Man armor sets, allowing Friday to take control of them.
After finishing everything, Su Han lazily lay on the bed. Although the dormitory was large and exquisitely decorated, Su Han paid no attention to it. He used his Observation Haki to listen to the information of the city beneath his feet.

Chapter 123 The Hero of That Higher World... From My World?
"It's definitely different from Jiangzhou!" Su Han murmured. His expression turned serious.
Su Han could sense the dense array patterns underground, and these patterns emitted an aura that felt familiar to him.
"Wait a minute," Su Han's pupils suddenly contracted, "This array pattern, and this aura... it's somewhat similar to the sacrificial method I obtained from the stone of the Yellow-Clad King?"
Su Han lay on the bed, his fingers lightly tapping the surface, his mind racing. Why did the aura of the array diagram resemble that of a sacrificial ritual? Could it be that the hero from the higher world recorded in the Yellow-Robed King's records was from their world?
"In other words, is our world a higher world as marked by the King in Yellow?" Su Han thought for a moment, then shook his head. "That's a possibility! But we can't be sure."
"We can only do some research later to see if we can come up with an explanation."
At that moment, Su Han suddenly thought of something: the peculiar array beneath Jinling clearly had the effect of resisting the invasion of evil spirits. However, compared to his sacrificial methods, it was far inferior.
"Suppose I combine sacrificial rituals to modify these array diagrams beneath Jinling! Would that greatly reduce the chances of evil spirits invading? No, if there are array diagrams beneath Jinling, then other major cities should also have them. If I use each of these cities as nodes... could I construct a special array diagram defense system covering the entire globe, thereby minimizing the chances of evil spirits invading!"
Su Han's eyes lit up. He had experienced a lot since his transmigration, so he was well aware that the current world was actually a dance on a knife's edge. He didn't want this world to be destroyed, after all, it was the world he was in now, and his family was also there.
But before, he was actually powerless to do anything... However, now, Su Han has discovered a possibility to solve this problem.
"I can go and talk to Xu Changnan later," Su Han said thoughtfully.
By combining sacrificial rituals to improve these array diagrams, even if Su Han's strength isn't universally acknowledged as the strongest, and he hasn't accomplished any unprecedented feats, he can still leverage the solid foundation already in their real world to modify them without needing to communicate with the world's consciousness.
"But for some reason, something just feels off."
Su Han's gaze suddenly sharpened. He suddenly realized that the number of powerful individuals in this academy was very small. At most, there were only a few at the Third Talent Realm, which was undoubtedly illogical.
After all, Su Han was well aware that, given the current unique landscape of this world, the greatest power undoubtedly rested with the Hua Ya military, followed by the cultivator associations in various regions, and finally, the academies… since academies served a similar function to sects, training students.
"Where exactly did things go wrong?" Su Han used his Observation Haki to sense everything around him. Suddenly, he noticed something, looked up, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face. "It's... in the sky?"
He sensed it; above the sky, there was a strange, malevolent aura, and the terrifying spiritual energy of powerful beings intertwined and collided. And it wasn't just one or two, but an immense number, as if a battle was raging.
Stepping onto the balcony, Su Han gazed up at the sky. The sky was crystal clear, sunlight streaming down, revealing nothing unusual. A flood of information coalesced in Su Han's mind, and his eyes grew brighter.
"The illusion of the array diagram... and the rift in the sky those guys mentioned! So that's it, the enemy isn't underground, but comes from the sky, or rather, from beyond the sky?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Su Han took to the sky.
After his last conversation with Xu Changnan, Su Han understood his own position. If evil things could pose a threat to him, Jinling might even fall.
Since there's no immediate danger to their lives, let's go and investigate the situation thoroughly.
Above the heavens, a strange battlefield unfolds, where clouds have solidified, making it possible to stand atop them. Terrifying psychic energy and eerie, unfathomable malevolent forces collide and intertwine.
High in the sky, there was a huge, pitch-black hole, from which strange and malevolent creatures sprang forth, accompanied by sharp, mournful cries.
"High Priest, is this all the tricks you have?" Xu Changnan stared coldly at the man opposite him, who was dressed in black robes and holding a cane made of withered branches.
Beside Xu Changnan stood an elderly man with a hunched back, whose spiritual energy was as vast as an ocean. Although he looked frail and as if he could be blown away at any moment, his spiritual energy was so powerful that it even surpassed that of Xu Changnan.
“Yes,” the incredibly elderly Zhang Mingxuan said slowly, staring intently at the black-robed priest opposite him, “you and I should both understand that this is meaningless.”
