The fishy smell of seawater hung heavy in the air.

In the distance, white seagulls drifted in the sky, like a scene from a paradise...

At this moment, an ocean freighter slowly passed by from more than twenty kilometers away, with the words Hu's Transportation Group painted on its hull. However, the people on board seemed to have completely missed seeing the island.

Qing Chen stood at the entrance of the Key Gate, silently observing the surroundings. He glanced at the position of the sun and silently calculated the time zone and distance.

The boy he had just berated also came out of the gate, but dared not say anything more to Qing Chen, heading straight for the dormitory area.

Qing Chen looked up at the sun and visually measured the angle of the Shadow on the ground.

It seemed that the current location of Whale Island in the Pacific Ocean was different from what Jiang Xue had described to him.

Therefore, this Whale Island was indeed constantly moving.

"Are you calculating its position? How is it, the scenery here is pretty good, isn't it?" someone said.

Qing Chen turned around and saw Zheng Yuandong and He Jinqiu standing on the cliff not far behind him.

Boss Zheng was still dressed in a Zhongshan suit, while He Jinqiu smiled faintly, his hand never leaving his black staff.

Qing Chen asked with a smile, "Is this black staff a Forbidden Artifact? But it doesn't seem to be recorded in the Inner World Federation's records?"

He Jinqiu casually laughed, "Our friends from North America are too polite, insisting on giving this to me. I said I didn't want it, and he got angry and gave me his life and the staff together."

"That's really too polite," Qing Chen sighed, "I also want to have friends like that."

"Many, but you have to find them yourself," He Jinqiu laughed.

Qing Chen said, "Now that Boss He has been elected as the executive director of the Hu Family Intelligence Agency, congratulations."

He Jinqiu shook his head, "Although I'm the executive director, managing all the operations of the agency, there's also an independent director responsible for supervising me. I can't do whatever I want. I plan to help Miss Li Changqing become the agency's independent director, what do you think?"

"Why ask me, you should ask her," Qing Chen said.

At this time, Qing Chen became serious, "During the rescue operation, you two assisted Li Changqing in the battle. Thank you for that. One is the neutral Observer leader, and the other is the neutral executive director of the Hu Family Intelligence Agency. It's not easy for you two to make such a clear-cut decision. Daybreak appreciates it."

Zheng Yuandong shook his head, "Actually, He Jinqiu and I have always had only one stance, and that is to protect our Outer World Chinese Time Traveler compatriots. You are also within our protection."

Qing Chen suddenly asked, "You two should be the earliest "players' to enter the Inner World, right? I want to ask, do you know why there are time travel incidents, and why are there Time Travelers?"

He Jinqiu pondered for a moment, "There is no conclusion yet. Currently, there are two guesses. One is that the Inner World is burdened with accumulated problems and needs external force to break this balance."

Zheng Yuandong said, "The other possibility is that the Forbidden Zone is about to cover the entire Federation, and someone is preparing to transfer the people of the Inner World to the Outer World. Of course, our guesses may not be correct."

Qing Chen didn't ask any more questions. Actually, what he most wanted to ask was who was the person who created the time travel incident in the first place. Since Zheng Yuandong and He Jinqiu were beta testers, they must know who this person is.

But asking this question is equivalent to him knowing their beta tester identities.

People who know about beta testers, besides Qing Family Shadow and the family head who have access to the highest levels of power, are most likely beta testers themselves.

In this way, Zheng Yuandong and He Jinqiu can also guess that he is not from the Outer World.

Zheng Yuandong asked, "Want to try the Key Gate?"

Qing Chen was a little curious, "Kunlun keeps wanting me to come to school and puts on an air of "go to school and get a True Sight Eye', what's their intention?"

Zheng Yuandong burst into laughter, "Don't be so vigilant. Don't rush. Take your time. Go register. Daybreak members are already here. There's one thing I want to remind you, Daybreak is also just a student here, equal to other students."

Qing Chen pondered for a moment, could it be that one of the Daybreak members caused trouble?

"This sign only shows the direction to the dormitory. Where is the teaching building?" Qing Chen looked around, only to see the dormitory area like a galaxy, but no teaching area. Was it on the other side of the island?

The island was as large as a city, and it was impossible to see the end at a glance.

At the other end of the island, Qing Chen clearly saw a lush green forest... that clearly looked like a Forbidden Zone.

Qing Chen bid farewell to Zheng Yuandong and He Jinqiu and walked towards the hotel-style dormitory.

He Jinqiu whispered, "This time you want to start a school, you wanted to set it up in the Northwest, but you were rejected. What was the reason for the rejection?"

Zheng Yuandong said, "The reason is that Time Travelers are too unstable and have violent criminal tendencies. They don't want to increase this unstable factor."

He Jinqiu smiled, "It's really amazing that you were able to find Whale Island, otherwise, I'm afraid there wouldn't even be a place to set up a school. Bringing Whale Island over from the Inner World must have cost a lot. Look, Time Travelers are also people, also compatriots, but they won't be accepted by all ordinary people."

"What are you trying to say? You want to create a place that only belongs to Time Travelers?" Zheng Yuandong looked into the distance and asked.

He Jinqiu smiled, paused with his black staff, "You know what I want to say, and I will do it. Last month, when a grassroots member of my Nine Provinces was on a mission, he was ambushed by seven ordinary people, who stole his Cybernetic Limbs; another Nine Provinces member's Time Traveler identity was discovered, and a fire broke out due to faulty wiring in his neighbor's house. Those people said it must have been caused by him, the Time Traveler, making him pay for it; another Nine Provinces member had Cybernetic Limbs, and was reported by his neighbors for having too strong radiation, causing headaches for the elderly in the family... Old squad leader, this world doesn't only have smart and rational people, there are also many people who are afraid of radiation even when they see communication base stations. Some of them are jealous of Time Travelers, and some are hostile towards them."

Zheng Yuandong remained silent. Kunlun Members had also encountered similar situations.

He Jinqiu said, "I won't let this happen to Nine Provinces members again, and you wouldn't want this to happen to Kunlun Members either."

With that, he walked into the Key Gate and returned to the Kunlun bookstore.

At this time, in the Kunlun bookstore, Lu Yuan was directing the Kunlun people, "Come, come, take down the iron gate."

Several Kunlun Members took the iron gate off the wall. Only at this moment did He Jinqiu discover that the iron gate used to open the Key Gate could actually be moved...

The Key Gate is on the iron gate, and wherever the iron gate is, the spatial channel is there.

Therefore, the position of the iron gate doesn't need to be fixed.

I don't know where Kunlun is going to hide the iron gate.

He Jinqiu suddenly thought of the phrase "fleeing through the gate'. If someone were to take this iron gate away, I wonder what would happen...

Wait, this Key Gate can be used as a mobile troop deployment point, and Whale Island is a natural forward base.

Which enemy could imagine that tens of thousands of people could suddenly come out of a dismantled broken iron gate?

In the dormitory, Chen Sui was quietly talking to a roommate, "Although we've come to the Academy, the development of the Matrix organization cannot stop. I asked someone from the Academy, and this island not only rents server rooms but also laboratories. I've already submitted a purchase list to Kunlun, and they'll transport the equipment we need here."

This is the high school dormitory area, with four people in one room, two bunk beds, relatively simple.

There are only three people in the room. One is calmly lying on the bed reading the news on their phone, Chen Sui and another roommate, a Matrix member named Tang Wei, are chatting.

Tang Wei exclaimed, "Before, I thought I'd have to live a completely closed-off life on this island, but I didn't expect it to be more comfortable than home. At home, there are people managing everything. After 12 o'clock, the lights must be turned off to sleep. Here, you can play until whenever you want, and no one cares. Yesterday, I had my cousin take me to a billiards room, and there were actually experts there."

Most Chinese students are like this. When they are in middle school, they study under high pressure. The leaders don't allow them to do this, and don't allow them to do that.

No dating, no playing games, no going out for entertainment.

As a result, many students, after going away from home to college, become particularly indulgent and especially eager to find a girlfriend.

As if they couldn't find a girlfriend before because the leaders wouldn't let them.

Chen Sui glanced at him and said, "Although no one cares, you still have classes during the day, so be restrained."

Tang Wei whispered, "Boss, is that top-tier male escort from City 22 really not you? I think you look very much alike."

Chen Sui's Face[-] darkened, "Of course it's not me. Haven't I been in City 7 all along? How could I have time to go to City 22? And, that's Shendai's territory. We are Low Caste people there. Why would we go there for no reason?"

"That's right, but they look too alike, even the names are the same... It's said that a female star spent two million to buy your... no, to buy the male escort's first night."

"Don't mention it!" Chen Sui's Face[-] changed, "I told you it's not me!"

"One more roommate hasn't come yet. I wonder what kind of person he is, not coming to register so late," Tang Wei said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the dormitory door opened.

Qing Chen looked at Chen Sui in the room and was stunned, feeling a sense of familiarity.

Now that he looks at Chen Sui, it's as if he sees himself from City 22. How could he not feel familiar?

"Hello everyone," Qing Chen said with a smile, "You are my roommates, right? Let's get to know each other. My name is Chen Nian."

Chen Sui stood up to shake hands, "Hello, Matrix, Chen Sui."

Qing Chen's eyes lit up, "Oh, aren't you the top-tier male escort from City 22? Wow, it's amazing to see you here. I'm so happy. Can you sign an autograph for me? I heard you drank with the famous female star Qiao Yu!"

Chen Sui: "...That's not me."

"How is it not? I've seen the photos!" Qing Chen laughed happily.

"It really isn't!" Chen Sui was anxious.

Qing Chen ignored him and looked at Tang Wei on the other side, "Hello."

"My name is Tang Wei."

Qing Chen then looked at the roommate lying on the bed. The other party glanced at him, "Red Leaf Organization, Liu Ning."

Tang Wei livened up the atmosphere, "I heard that the Academy is going to be divided into colleges, like Hogwarts."

"It's different," Chen Sui said calmly, "Hogwarts uses the Sorting Hat to distinguish each person's personality and character. Here, the colleges are used to distinguish elites and trash. Elites learn more skills, while trash learns how to survive."
