"If they are elites from Time Traveler, what do they learn?" Qing Chen asked.

"It seems there are subdivisions within this. Some people can specialize in Inner World hacking techniques. It is said that top Inner World hackers are hired at high salaries to teach remotely," Tang Wei said, "This is just hearsay, though. I'm quite looking forward to it."

Chen Sui said, "However, I haven't heard of that person's ID in the Inner World hacker alliance. It's called "Yi San Yi Si'."

Qing Chen was stunned for a good while. Is the "Yi' flavor that strong?

This hacker professor is teaching remotely and also uses a name filled with "Yi'.

If it's not Yi, who else could it be?

The key is, Demi-God Li Shentan clearly isn't letting her run wild anymore.

No, Li Shentan can't control the Outer World.

No wonder Yi insisted on coming to the Outer World. It's because no one is watching over here.

Qing Chen asked, "Besides hacking, what else do they learn?"

Chen Sui said, "I heard from Kunlun people that they will also select a group of people to join the Observer organization to record the Federation's history. The heritage they are learning seems to be witchcraft related to the Forbidden Artifact ACE-004 True Sight Eye."

Qing Chen pondered. According to Shadow, the Observers have 12 graded True Sight Eyes, and it's uncertain how many ungraded white True Sight Eyes there are.

It seems Zheng Yuandong wants to strengthen the "Observer' organization in the Outer World.

No wonder Zheng Yuandong was thinking of having him come; isn't he planning to develop him into the Observer organization?

The sole mission of the Observer organization is to record the Federation's history.

But if you're just watching from the periphery of power, you'll always see history through a veil.

Only by being in the center of power will you know why all the chaos happened.

Therefore, the Observer needs someone in the center of power.

Qing Chen seems very suitable.

"Has anyone said how they'll divide the houses?" Qing Chen asked curiously, "How does Kunlun determine whether someone is useless or an elite?"

"I don't know about that," Chen Sui said. "Kunlun's Lu Yuan said that they have to wait until everyone is present before they officially start dividing the houses. I feel like it's just a matter of the next day or two."

Qing Chen praised, "You actually know Lu Yuan. The internet says he's Kunlun's field operations director, a big shot."

Chen Sui said nonchalantly, "My Matrix organization is a top-tier Time Traveler organization domestically. It's normal to know Lu Yuan."

At this moment, Red Leaf Liu Ning, who was lying on the bed, chuckled.

Chen Sui looked over: "Is there a problem?"

Liu Ning turned off his phone: "Matrix is content with its little corner, only focused on making money. They don't even have a powerful Metahuman to hold down the fort. How did it suddenly become a top-tier Time Traveler organization?"

Among domestic student groups, everyone has been saying "North Red Leaf, South Matrix." At first, everyone was just saying it for fun, but later it became the real deal.

To be fair, both organizations are indeed quite strong, but they don't seem to get along.

It's said that at the Zheng City Time Traveler conference, the two organizations had some minor friction.

However, this friction was too small and was overshadowed by the incident of Little Dinosaur and Pikachu destroying the Dragon Lake commune.

In fact, Daybreak is also a student group.

It's just that when Red Leaf and Matrix became famous, Daybreak was still unknown and no one paid attention to it.

After Daybreak suddenly became famous, everyone stopped treating it as a student group and directly compared it to Kunlun and Nine Provinces...

At this time, Chen Sui said, "Although Matrix doesn't focus on Metahumans, we already have a place in the Inner World hacking field. As the saying goes, "Every profession produces its own expert," and we might not be any worse than your Red Leaf. Isn't your Boss Jiu Ran just a B-Class Cultivation user? Doesn't seem that strong."

Liu Ning sneered, "Xiao Ran is a genius Cultivation user and will soon be promoted to A-Class. Didn't you see that Nine Provinces values her highly?"

"Sounding quite affectionate. As far as I know, she doesn't even bother with her own members in Red Leaf," Chen Sui changed the subject. "You should have also heard about Daybreak's affairs. Now Matrix and Red Leaf should abandon their previous grudges and jointly resist the pressure from Daybreak."

Qing Chen was stunned for a moment. He placed his backpack on the lower bunk near the door: "You want to fight against Daybreak? Why fight against Daybreak?"

Chen Sui glanced at Qing Chen: "I'm only letting you hear these conversations because you're our roommate. Remember not to spread it."

Qing Chen smiled cheerfully: "How could I spread it? Your name is Chen Sui, and my name is Chen Nian. "Year after year, the flowers resemble each other, but year after year, people are different." We are so destined. We should be good friends. Just trust me."

Chen Sui nodded and, in front of the Master of Daybreak, said to Liu Ning, "Daybreak seems to have no ambition, but Daybreak member Yang Yang has been recruiting in Outer World Hai City and the corresponding Inner World City 7. Many people have followed her Daybreak name to build a Wildlanders settlement. My Matrix is in Hai City, and our speed of recruiting talent can't even keep up with her alone. This kind of thing is happening to Matrix now, and it will soon happen to your Red Leaf. At that time, Red Leaf's development space will be squeezed by them."

Liu Ning glanced at him: "Join forces with Matrix to fight against Daybreak? We might as well merge into Daybreak."

"Pfft," Qing Chen laughed, and then, seeing Chen Sui's ugly expression, quickly restrained himself: "I just thought of a joke, sorry."

At this time, Liu Ning added insult to injury. He picked up his phone and showed it: "Have you seen the school forum? That internet celebrity college student named Ma Jingjing posted again, saying that she ran into the Daybreak Boss on the Steam Train. She said that Qing Chen's bodyguards are now unfathomable, and going in and out of Forbidden Zone 10 is like playing around. Can your Matrix do that? What are you going to use to fight against that level of Time Traveler?"

Qing Chen just arrived and didn't know that the Time Traveler Academy had already set up a forum.

He asked curiously, "How do I download the forum APP?"

"Here, scan my QR code," Liu Ning said.

After Qing Chen downloaded and logged in, he found that 80% of the posts on the forum were male students posting their information to find friends, making it look like a gay forum.

However, this situation should gradually improve over time, once everyone gets over the novelty.

On the forum, everyone can also create their own personal homepage to share information about the Inner World and Outer World, or their life status, for a fee or for free.

Qing Chen took a look and, thankfully, this forum didn't have any fancy consumption items. Otherwise, Nangeng Chen would have to spend Wronged money again.

When he refreshed the forum again, he suddenly saw Liu Dezhu, with his real name ID, looking for friends online...

Qing Chen: "..."

This kid Liu Dezhu has always been single. With Nangeng Chen constantly saying "This is how Yi Nuo treats me," now that he's at the Academy, he's directly moved by spring!

Liu Ning said, "Chen Nian, didn't you download this APP when you registered? Didn't the Academy say it was mandatory, because important notices are posted on it?"

Qing Chen laughed, "I registered in a hurry, so I didn't download it. I promised to make up for it later."

In fact, it was because his registration process was different from others, so he skipped the step of downloading the APP.

After all, no other student had the Kunlun and Nine Provinces bosses welcoming them at the same time during registration...

At this time, he searched for Ma Jingjing and clicked on her homepage.

He saw that she had posted many photos and videos taken on the Steam Train, and even photos of the Entwining Snake Vine and Oil Refining Fruit in Forbidden Zone 10.

Then, Ma Jingjing also captioned the pictures: "This is the Entwining Snake Vine that Qing Chen introduced to us, this is the Oil Refining Fruit that Qing Chen introduced to us...""

It was clearly Shadow who introduced them, but in Ma Jingjing's world, it all became Qing Chen "personally' introducing them.

Each picture would continue to show everyone's Daybreak journey...

As soon as he posted, countless students immediately followed, and Ma Jingjing instantly became a top internet celebrity in the Academy.

This traffic is too easy to get.

However, this Ma Jingjing also has a sense of propriety. She didn't describe the details of the Forbidden Zone 10 journey, probably knowing that Qing Chen needed to keep it secret.

She still needs to use Qing Chen to gain followers and can't anger the big shot.

Ma Jingjing's last sentence in the post: "Forbidden Zone 10 is very dangerous, see you next time."

As a result, the posts are getting more and more dangerous."

Qing Chen was taken aback. Did Huan Yu also come to the Time Traveler Academy?

He thought this guy was too old to go to school.

Just then, Liu Ning said, "Kunlun posted a message on the forum: Gather outside the dormitory."

The dormitory's broadcast also suddenly rang: "Please gather outside the dormitory, line up consciously."

Everyone in the dormitory looked at each other. Is it time to divide the houses?

Qing Chen walked out of the dormitory. Behind him, Tang Wei worriedly asked Chen Sui, "Boss, we shouldn't be assigned to the useless side, right?"

"What are you thinking?" Chen Sui said. "Matrix was specially invited by Kunlun. That kind of thing won't happen."

In the corridor, Qing Chen saw from afar that Jiang Xue was holding Xiao Tongyun's hand in her left hand and Little Maki's hand in her right, walking outside.

Li Tongyun's eyes were red, as if she had just been beaten.

Jiang Xue was whispering, "Why are you becoming more and more disobedient as you grow up? Who did you learn these bad habits from?"

At this moment, Little Maki let go of Jiang Xue's hand, ran to Li Tongyun's side, put her little hand into Li Tongyun's hand, and said in broken Chinese, "Don't cry."

I don't know how many beatings Li Tongyun took, but after Shinguji Maki came to China, the first word she learned was "hello," and the second word was "don't cry'...

Her healing attribute is maxed out.

Li Tongyun's gaze wandered through the crowd of students, but she couldn't find Qing Chen's figure, so she sadly lowered her head again.

Qing Chen smiled and continued to walk outside. Everyone stood on the island in the warmest time of the afternoon, facing the gentle sea breeze.

When the sixty thousand plus students were scattered in the dormitories, everyone didn't feel like there were many.

But when they gathered together, they stretched to the sky and the sea, and you couldn't see the end at a glance.

Zheng Yuandong held a black True Sight Eye in his hand. Qing Chen saw from afar that there was indeed a strange eye engraved on the stone.

Zheng Yuandong held the True Sight Eye high above his head, and a ultra-modern architectural complex rose from the ground in front of everyone.

Just like building a base in the Red Alert game, a two-dimensional plane suddenly became a three-dimensional object.

The magnificent architectural complex was even larger than the most spectacular football stadium in the world, with 6 main buildings and 12 auxiliary buildings standing tall.

The main buildings were 12 stories high, and the auxiliary buildings were 6 stories high. The shapes of those glass buildings were like exquisite works of art.

Qing Chen had never heard of such methods, and they were never mentioned in the history of the Inner World.

Qing Chen was stunned. It turned out that Zheng Yuandong, in addition to being a knife technique master, was truly a wizard.

After doing all this, Zheng Yuandong nodded to Lu Yuan: "Let's begin. First, complete the confidentiality agreement."

Under the arrangement of Kunlun Members, the students came to Zheng Yuandong one by one, and he said softly to each student: "Keep the secret, next."

Each time, the eye on the black stone would light up with a faint purple light.

When it was his turn to stand in front of Zheng Yuandong, he curiously whispered, "What is this for?"

Boss Zheng smiled and explained, "As long as your strength doesn't exceed mine, you won't be able to mention the Academy to anyone outside Whale Island anymore. Although it's a bit tiring, it's the best way to keep secrets."

Qing Chen asked again, "How did those buildings rise from the ground just now?"

Boss Zheng laughed: "It's just a trick, do you want to learn it?"

Qing Chen was stunned for a moment: "I'll think about it."
