While other students were still diligently studying, Chen Sui was still focused on catching up with Bai Zhou, but Qing Chen had become a member of the academy's board of directors...
It was from this announcement that Qingchen's status in the academy became fundamentally different from that of his classmates.
...
...
As Zheng Yuandong walked, he said, "To be honest, I thought you would propose some terms for the deal, but I didn't expect you to be so principled."
Qing Chen said sincerely, "You are doing a good deed, and I am here to collect rent. What would that make me? A bad person? But there is one condition: you and she cannot communicate in the same language, so I have to be the translator. No one else can do it."
Zheng Yuandong gave a half-smile: "You're afraid I'll steal her away, so you want to keep an eye on her?"
“You can’t take her away,” Qing Chen shook his head, he was absolutely confident of that: “I’m just worried that you’ll take advantage of her. She’s still young and doesn’t understand the wickedness of people. By the way, she helped Kunlun so much. It doesn’t matter if you don’t pay me, but it’s only right to give her a True Sight Eye without any grade.”
Zheng Yuandong smiled and said, "The Eye of True Sight without a grade is white. When you hold a white Eye of True Sight, your meditation speed is very slow, and you can't cast many high-level spells. If you really want it, we can discuss another deal. If we reach an agreement, it doesn't matter if I give you my only black Eye of True Sight."
Qing Chen was stunned for a moment. He knew that the forbidden item ACE-004 True Sight Eye actually referred specifically to the black True Sight Eye. The other colors, such as gold, red, and white, were just accessories.
He never expected that Zheng Yuandong would be willing to hand over the black stone.
What the other party wants must be very important.
Qing Chen became wary: "The Black Eye of True Sight? You're willing to part with it? I know that thing is very important."
Zheng Yuandong laughed and said, "It's alright. In business, you have to give up something and you have to lose something."
The group arrived at a deserted cliff on the island.
Zheng Yuandong looked at Jinguji Maki and said, "I'll need you to work hard in the days to come."
Qingchen translated to Maki in Japanese: "Maki, please bear with us for a moment. Let's learn how to control Whale Island first."
Zheng Yuandong looked at Qing Chen: "Are you sure you're translating properly, right?"
“Definitely,” Qingchen nodded. “Don’t worry.”
Zheng Yuandong nodded: "The first thing is to control the course. It's not easy to distinguish the position and direction at sea, so you need to come to Kunlun to plan a navigation route for Whale Island by referring to the map, navigation marks, and GPS positioning. It can't stay in one place for too long, or it will be found. It also can't be on the route of other ships that come and go frequently, so the course needs to be corrected every day."
Translated by Qingchen.
Jinguji Maki suddenly said, "Master, I just can't find my way right now, but once I design a route for it, it will follow that route every day, and I won't have to command it every day anymore."
Qingchen told Zheng Yuandong what Jinguji Maki meant, but Zheng Yuandong was somewhat surprised, as this was completely different from the Whale Island operation method he had figured out.
Jinguji Maki controls Whale Island like a combat drone connected by neurons in the other world; with just a thought, everything is accomplished.
This is much simpler than Zheng Yuandong having to control Whale Island himself every day!
Zheng Yuandong thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll get straight to how to carry out the basic construction on the island. This requires you to take a look at the design drawings, then have Whale Island produce the necessary building materials, and then have our people build it up..."
As Qingchen translated, Jinguji Maki suddenly said, "Master, it seems unnecessary to go to such lengths."
As they were talking, a thatched hut suddenly rose from the ground in a deserted spot on the island, transforming from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, extremely simple.
That was where Maki Jinguji lived for eight years, and it was the place she knew best.
This time, both Qing Chen and Zheng Yuandong were stunned.
They witnessed a house come into existence from nothing in just one second.
Within the territory of Whale Island, the inhabitants are like omnipotent creators, playing a game of building a city, with all production resources readily available.
Zheng Yuandong suddenly turned around and looked at Jinguji Maki, as if he had found a treasure.
This is the true master of Whale Island!
Qingchen quickly shielded Maki behind him, then found a picture of a nuclear missile silo on his phone: "Come on, Maki, build this. If anyone bullies us, we'll bomb them."
Zheng Yuandong: "???"
Kunlun only wanted to do some basic infrastructure work, but Qing Chen actually wanted to pull out nuclear weapons?!
Zheng Yuandong said to Qing Chen in an annoyed tone, "What are you thinking? All supplies on Whale Island will be annihilated if they leave the island by more than one meter. The same goes for nuclear bombs and howitzers."
As he spoke, Zheng Yuandong picked up a stone from the ground and threw it over the cliff.
In an instant, the stone turned into gray dust and disappeared into the air.
This means that the idea of building ultra-long-range artillery on Whale Island is simply impossible to realize.
Unless it's something that doesn't belong to Whale Island to begin with.
Qingchen glanced at Zheng Yuandong thoughtfully. He had told Xiaozhenji that he was building nuclear missile silos, but Zheng Yuandong hadn't asked him to translate.
At this moment, Zheng Yuandong looked at Jinguji Maki and suddenly realized that what he had to work so hard to accomplish on Whale Island, the other party could do with just a thought.
He smiled and said to Maki, "You're welcome to come to the office building anytime. Kunlun's gates will always be open for you."
Qingchen translated with a smile: "He said that your master is a very capable and kind person."
Jinguji Maki looked up and smiled sweetly, "I also think Master is a very amazing and kind person!"
Qing Chen looked at Zheng Yuandong: "Zhenji can cooperate with Kunlun to do some construction on the island, and can also be responsible for the Whale Island shipping route, which we agreed on before. Now let's talk about the deal. What does Mr. Zheng want? Or rather, what do I need to give up to get the Eye of True Sight?"
Zheng Yuandong said earnestly and frankly, "The Cundi Dharma."
Qing Chen fell silent.
No wonder the other party was willing to bring out even the forbidden ACE-004 Black Eye of True Sight; it turns out they wanted the Cundi Dharma.
However, the Cundi Dharma is too important; it is the foundation of parent-teacher meetings.
Zheng Yuandong added, "One black True Sight Eye and six red True Sight Eyes. With this, Luo Wanya can cast the Secret Keeper spell on the PTA members. This is what you need most right now."
Qing Chen suddenly asked, "What Kunlun needs is actually an orthodox cultivation method, right? It doesn't necessarily have to be the Zhunti Method. As long as it can be practiced by most people in Kunlun and by students in the academy, that's fine, right?"
Zheng Yuandong thought for a moment and said, "That's right."
"I need to consider whether this deal is feasible, and I will give you an answer when I return next time."
"It's a deal."
...
...
On the way back to the dormitory, Qingchen asked Maki in a low voice, "Maki, can you accelerate plant growth?"
Jinguji Maki hesitated for a moment: "I'll give it a try."
As she spoke, a weed in front of her suddenly grew to be more than a person tall.
Qing Chen pondered for a moment and said, "You should have already eaten a dragonfish. Can you materialize it?"
Maki Jinguji closed her eyes, then opened them again after two seconds: "No..."
Qing Chen seemed to be deep in thought. He searched on his phone and found a photo of an ordinary plant from the other world taken by the Time Traveler: "Can it be materialized?"
Two seconds after closing her eyes, Jinguji Maki said in a pitiful voice, "Master, no..."
Qing Chen roughly understood that after Whale Island came to the surface world, it seemed that it could no longer materialize things from the inner world.
But what if he manages to bring the saplings of the Sakaiyama camellia to the surface world? Even if he can't materialize them, could he use Whale Island to encourage their growth?
When he transplants all sorts of forbidden plants, could he create a private vegetable garden on Whale Island?
Mass-producing mountain camellias is even more efficient than the efficiency of the Shadow Species' extraordinary individuals.
Chapter 617, The Farming Plan!
Qingchen's idea of a vegetable garden was not unfounded.
Although the dragonfish Zard brought back died, the roots of the snake-entwining vine he brought back were still alive in his head; only the sapling above his head was crushed by the rules of return.
I'll definitely have to try this next time I come back!
If he could transplant the magical plants from the forbidden lands of the underworld and make them grow rapidly, what would Bai Zhou's status be in the world?
When the students of the academy encounter the future, the world of gods, Kashima, and the kingdom, these 60,000-plus drug addicts with superhuman abilities, each with super hearing, super vision, and super strength, won't they make the overseas forces cry in despair?
Qingchen looked at Jinguji Maki and said in Japanese with a smile, "Little Maki has done a great job! She has helped Master a lot this time!"
Maki still didn't understand what was going on, but when she heard that she had helped her master, her eyes immediately narrowed into crescent moons with a smile: "The most important thing is that Master is happy."
Li Tongyun, standing to the side, pursed her lips and said, "What are you saying, all that babbling?"
Qingchen patted Xiaotongyun's head and smiled, "When I was captured before, you had a hard time keeping watch during the day."
Xiao Tongyun hesitated for a moment: "That's what I should do."
“Let’s go back. Bai Zhou is going to take a new path. We’ll see the results in a few days,” Qing Chen said.
Xiao Tongyun asked, "Where are we going now? Back to the dorm?"
Qing Chen shook his head: "Wait a little longer."
"Wait for what?" Xiao Tongyun asked curiously.
Qingchen laughed and said, "Wait until someone finds 'me.' Little Maki, make the snow fall even heavier."
...
...
The crisis on Whale Island has been averted.
Kunlun announced over the loudspeaker in each dormitory that this was just an extreme environment drill and that all students should not panic.
With Kunlun's endorsement and feeling the temperature gradually warming up, the students all felt relieved.
Looking at the snow outside the dormitory, which was taller than a person, they finally couldn't resist anymore.
Thousands of excited students rushed to the square outside the dormitory.
Thousands of people were running around in a chaotic manner on the ski slopes. Even when they were hit by snowballs, no one was angry. Instead, they all laughed loudly.
When we're young, everyone does a lot of boring things.
It has nothing to do with making money, nor with fame or fortune.
At this time, everyone is not very purposeful in their actions, and they are just happy in a daze.
Just as Qingchen was not yet back in the dormitory, Chen Sui and the others couldn't resist going out for a snowball fight.
