Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

The scene fell into a deathly silence.

Although Tang Shengan's fate was already foreseen, the weight of the word "death" still pressed down on everyone's hearts like a mountain.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Sun Jianguo took a deep breath and gripped the staff in his hand tightly.

Accompanied by the fluctuations of magical power, a blazing fireball condensed in mid-air, unleashing a tremendous heat wave.

The crowd gasped and involuntarily stepped back, with many parents covering their children's eyes.

Xiao Yun's eyes flashed slightly, and his longsword was slightly drawn from its sheath. A barely perceptible sword light slashed towards Tang Sheng'an along with the fireball.

boom!

Flames rose, and moments later, all that remained of the spot in the middle of the square where Tang Shengan had stood was a charred crater.

[Killing Tang Shengan grants a 20% combat contribution and grants +2 to Strength, +3 to Agility, +2 to Constitution, and +2 to Intelligence.]

Seeing the pop-up panel, Xiao Yun breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Principal Sun, for upholding justice!"

"Hahaha, Xiao Yun, you are the hero who upholds justice."

The old man and the young man smiled at each other, then returned to the office to discuss the alliance.

Although there were no serious disagreements between the two sides, such an alliance between two forces, which concerns the livelihoods of thousands of people, cannot be resolved overnight.

Xiao Yun was not an expert in this field, so he simply finalized the charter and basic cooperation plan with Principal Sun and wrote a simple contract using a blank contract.

After both parties dripped blood, the blank contract split in two and flew into Xiao Yun and Sun Jianguo's hands.

"No problem, let's leave it at that for today, and discuss it in detail in the school auditorium the day after tomorrow?"

Xiao Yun nodded and added:

"Of course, let's slowly unfold the sharing of research results and information over the next couple of days. When I get back, I'll have someone bring over crops from the celestial anomalies, but you'll have to harvest the farmland yourselves."

"Of course, although we are old, we are not yet at the age where we need our children and grandchildren to feed us."

Principal Sun smiled and said:

"You can just send someone to collect our research results when the time comes. Anyway, your master is overseeing things, so you don't need to worry about me doing anything sabotage."

Xiao Yun smiled upon hearing this, and after chatting for a while, seeing that it was almost noon, he got up to say goodbye.

Before leaving, Xiao Yun asked about Tang Sheng'an's belongings.

"I'm interested in the underground labyrinth formation. I didn't find it among Tang Jun's belongings, so I'd like to see if Tang Sheng'an has it... Of course, I'm willing to exchange it for other resources."

Principal Sun waved his hand dismissively:

"There's no need to explain anything; it should have been yours anyway."

Soon, a package was delivered to Xiao Yun.

"Thank you for your kindness, Principal."

Xiao Yun sincerely thanked him and generously offered the items dropped by the mud frog he had killed.

"I took the liberty of giving one of the buildings to my master. You can keep the rest of the talent and weapons; they can train an A-level tank professional."

"this……"

Principal Sun initially wanted to refuse, but couldn't resist Xiao Yun's enthusiasm and had no choice but to accept it.

A gift in return is a gift in return; everything is understood without words.

After bidding farewell to his master and mistress, Xiao Yun took Kong Changhao and headed back home.

"I got everything. This trip went more smoothly than I expected..."

On the way back, Xiao Yun looked at the signed contract and pondered.

"There are no problems with the faculty and staff dormitory area. We'll just meet in the auditorium the day after tomorrow to come up with a specific set of regulations."

Even though everything was moving in a positive direction, Xiao Yun couldn't help but feel a headache looking at the newly updated information.

The south and north gates leading to the outside world are closed and can only be opened by defeating the local boss, the Whisperer… After each full moon, the Whisperer becomes stronger (currently at the eighth sequence), and its aggression and destructive desires increase.

"The eighth sequence? The next full moon will be the seventh sequence. Does that mean if we can't kill it before the next full moon, we'll be trapped here and die?"

Xiao Yun's mood suddenly became heavy, but he quickly came to terms with it:

"According to the phases of the moon, the full moon only happens once a month. There's still time, so there's no need to rush. Let's first stabilize the situation at the school."

"Check on the progress of the others when we get back."

The time spent traveling passed quickly, and Xiao Yun and the others soon returned to dormitory building No. 3.

Before even reaching the dormitory building, Xiao Yun could see a group of people gathered downstairs, busily setting something up.

"Brother Huang, what do you think of this banner?"

"Hmm, the right side is a little crooked, raise it a little higher... Oh right, right, Cola Novels, your portable library, more than ten thousand volumes. That's it, the other two banners can be hung on both sides later."

Huang Haoran was giving instructions when he suddenly felt someone put their hand on his shoulder.

"What's all the commotion about?"

"Brother Yun, you're back. How did things go at the South Campus?"

"Yes, it's tentatively decided. We'll meet with Principal Sun and the others in the auditorium the day after tomorrow to discuss it in detail."

"Haha, I knew it. With Brother Yun personally taking charge, there would be no problem."

Xiao Yun smiled, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the banner that read, "Warmly celebrate the successful completion of the Minsheng Irrigation Canal Project!"

"The irrigation canal is repaired. The efficiency is pretty good."

"Hehe, it's all thanks to the blueprints you gave me, Brother Yun. All I had to do was dig the trench and put the finished water channel card in. It saved me a lot of trouble."

Huang Haoran smiled and pointed to the large farmland behind the dormitory building.

"The irrigation ditch in the farmland is already flowing with water. The section leading to Building 4 is expected to start construction tomorrow. Everyone has worked hard for several days, and I was thinking of having a celebration to help everyone relax."

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Xiao Yun's expression.

After Xiao Yun noticed, he smiled and patted him on the shoulder:

"You're the head of internal affairs, so you can arrange these things. However, there's one thing I'd like to offer a small suggestion."

As he spoke, Xiao Yun pointed to two other banners that had not yet been put up, on which were prominently displayed his famous quotes.

"Let's forget about these two banners."

Huang Haoran nodded hurriedly, indicating that he understood.

Xiao Yun left satisfied and returned to his dormitory.

After resting for a while, Xiao Yun took out the [Useless Rusty Iron Sword], walked to the work area, came to the anvil, drew the Mithril Sword from his waist, and placed both swords on the anvil.

[Ding! Equipment 'Mithril Sword' detected. Would you like to upgrade it using 'Useless Rusty Iron Sword' and 20 Equipment Upgrade Cards?]

"20 upgrade cards to reach B-? Hmm... that's a bit expensive."

Xiao Yun gasped.

Twenty upgrade cards emptied his pockets of all the equipment upgrade cards he had painstakingly saved up.

However, Xiao Yun was not stingy with the mithril sword that had always been with him.

He took out twenty upgrade cards from his backpack, placed them on the anvil, and selected to enhance and upgrade them.

Ding ding ding—

With a crisp clang of metal being struck, a dazzling light flashed, and a brand-new mithril sword appeared before their eyes.

The upgraded Mithril Sword is more ancient and understated, with an additional relief on the hilt similar to that of the [Useless Rusty Iron Sword].

"There are still empty spaces around here. Should I continue collecting similar swords in the future?"

Xiao Yun vaguely understood something, and after noting it down, he reached out and grasped the hilt of the mithril sword, swinging it twice.

clank--

The blade sliced ​​through the air with a crisp ringing sound, and Xiao Yun could almost feel the joyful emotion emanating from the mithril sword in his hand.

"Is it the legendary spirituality?"

Xiao Yun was slightly pleased. After carefully sensing the area, he indeed discovered a faint fluctuation within the mithril sword.

"It has only a little bit of intelligence, and it's more like an animal's instinctive reaction."

Xiao Yun nodded, but was not disappointed.

"Going from nothing to something is already a qualitative change; we can cultivate it gradually from now on."

Besides these, the most obvious change when the Mithril Sword is upgraded to B- grade is the increased power of its original sword aura, as well as the addition of two new abilities.

【Hidden Edge】: When not in use, the Mithril Sword will automatically absorb mana to condense sword light, up to 12 of which can be stored.

【Uselessness】: Automatically upgrades the rank and effect of the runes engraved on the sword by one level.

"It can store 12 sword beams, which is equivalent to more than 300 mana points. It's a very practical skill. If you can release all 12 sword beams at the same time, it can also be used as a trump card."

Xiao Yun nodded, planning to study it while learning alchemy tomorrow.

"The uselessness is probably the ability given by the useless rusty iron sword, but the effect of upgrading by one level is a bit low. It would be better if it could be upgraded by one tier."

"However, if one could have a rune that's just one level away from the next tier, that ability would be quite impressive."

Xiao Yun thought silently for a moment, then sighed again.

With the upgrade of the Mithril Sword, the level of the engraved runes is now a bit low. It's fine for clearing mobs, but it's not very useful against strong opponents like Qi Huiming.

"Runes are something you can only come across by chance, take your time."

Xiao Yun silently familiarized himself with the upgraded mithril sword. Soon, Huang Haoran arrived.

"Brother Yun, the celebration banquet is all set up, and Brother Ming and the others are back too. Let's go!"
