Chapter 997: 626, the first batch of labor force from the Agricultural College

Midnight, 0:00.

Countdown 168:00:00.

Seven days.

Ma Jingjing sat up in bed as if in a different world, exchanging glances with his roommate Yi Wenbo. The two simultaneously opened their phones, paying attention to the news on the internet.

Unfortunately, none of the content they were looking for was online.

Nowadays, the most active Time Travelers were almost all gathered at the academy by Kunlun, so to truly get intelligence, they had to wait for someone to leak on the academy forum.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Xiao Yu and Li Mengyun entered, each pulling up a chair to sit down. The four of them faced each other in silence.

This time travel event led to a lot of new speculation among them.

Actually, it wasn’t quite speculation, as that Master of Daytime and his mysterious experts didn’t avoid human presence while discussing matters.

It seemed they didn’t worry about any impacts if secrets were leaked…

“Who do you think the person next to Qing Chen really is?” Li Mengyun broke the silence.

Yi Wenbo said in a throaty voice, “I do have a theory, but I think this theory might be a bit too bold…”

While speaking, Xiao Yu looked at his phone and said, “That Zard just posted something for paid viewing, it costs 88 bucks to view it once.”

“What are you waiting for, pay up,” Ma Jingjing said.

Nowadays, Zard’s identity was already clear. According to Ma Jingjing’s speculation, this might just be a secret member of Daytime, a top expert.

How could they not check out a post from this person?

Xiao Yu linked his bank card to pay the fee, but the first sentence of the post was utterly useless and full of contempt: Do you all still remember the fear of being dominated by me on the snowy field?

“Crazy,” Ma Jingjing said, crying and laughing, tricking everyone into paying 88 bucks just for a mocking line?

“There’s more below, the main point comes later,” Li Mengyun said.

And indeed, Zard wrote in the post: “According to reliable sources, on the first night of the time crossing, the Qing’s Shadow Corps attacked every black market in the Federation, seizing all ancient documents from the previous civilization. The Shadows used these as bait and separately located the hidden information of the Jindai, Deer Island, and Chen Clan before seizing them. As for why these documents were seized, there is no accurate answer at the moment.”

This incident wasn’t actually a secret, so Zard decided to make some money himself before letting others do the same.

After reading the post, Ma Jingjing and the others fell into silence.

Shadow…

It’s really Qing’s shadow!

There were already many replies under the post.

A user with the ID ‘It’s Not Wrong to Be Flirtatious’ said: “Whoa, so it was the Qing’s Family that did it! I was working at the black market in City 19 at the time. That night, several Immortals suddenly rushed in and beat my black market boss into a pulp, searching specifically for those ancient documents. Now my boss has run off with his mistress, and I’ve become the new boss, thanks to the Qing’s Shadow Corps…”

A user named ‘Seven Thousand Yasuo Matches Invincible’ chimed in: “This incident caused quite a stir in the Federation. The black markets, which remained a mystery despite centuries under Federation rule, were almost wiped out overnight… The Qing’s shadow is just too fierce.”

A user titled ‘There’s Always a Fool Playing Yasuo’ mentioned: “The key point is that even conglomerates like Jindai and Deer Island were robbed… Don’t these conglomerates have any means to counter the Shadow?”

Though the black market is complexly intertwined, it pales in comparison to the reputation of the conglomerates.

This Qing’s shadow didn’t even spare the conglomerates, what’s the black market compared to that?

Ma Jingjing and the others sat silently in their dorm room.

So, the four of them went on a trip with the Master of Daytime and Qing’s shadow?!

The same man who stands at the apex of the Federation’s power pyramid?

But that’s not important; what’s important is that they were very clear that Qing’s shadow caused such a huge commotion just to find some information for Qing Chen.

In the end, this whole thing was caused by Qing Chen!

A Time Traveler already has this kind of influence in the Inner World?!

Terrifying.

Shocking.

Ma Jingjing said softly, “Now that we’ve been sent back to City 10, can anyone tell me what we should do next to cling to the big shot again?”

While speaking, Yi Wenbo suddenly looked at his phone and said, “It seems the opportunity to cling to a big shot has come…”

Everyone turned their eyes to the phone, where a new forum announcement was pinned at the top, marked in red and official: “Agricultural College is openly recruiting, all students above the second year of high school are eligible to apply independently.”

“College Introduction: Farming, cultivating the land, providing some resources and agricultural products for the academy. All students who love labor are welcome to apply voluntarily.”

The admission information was extremely simple.

It didn’t mention what the Agricultural College would grow, appearing as if they wanted people to become farmers.

Xiao Yu looked up confused: “Wenbo, you say the opportunity to cling to a big shot is this? What does this have to do with clinging to a big shot?”

Yi Wenbo nodded: “Do you remember what Qing Chen did in the Inner World?”

Ma Jingjing said: “Digging up saplings.”

“Exactly!” Yi Wenbo nodded again and sat up straight on the bed, “Back then, Ma Jingjing you asked him why he was digging up saplings, and his reply was that we would soon find out. So, tell me, could this Agricultural College be something he created?”

Li Mengyun was astonished, “He founded a college?! Just to cultivate those saplings? But why would the academy allow him to set up a college on his own?”
