Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

"Brother Yun, you said what you saw yesterday... was this the place?"

Zhong Mo looked at the vast expanse of empty land before him, scratched his head, and asked in confusion:

"That can't be right. Yesterday, that cave we were in was several kilometers away from here. How did you see it?"

"Ahem, my eyesight is pretty good."

Xiao Yun coughed twice to change the subject.

"Let's get started. Don't pick too many, just one bag per person. By the way, it would be best to pull up the whole plant and see if it can be transplanted."

Everyone nodded and began to get busy.

Xiao Yun bent down and picked a bean pod.

"These are sun-dried beans, round and golden yellow, truly living up to their name."

The pods are very, very plump, and the outer shells have begun to dry and harden.

"It'll be cooked almost done!"

Xiao Yun pinched open the bean pod, and golden beans rolled into his palm, faintly emitting a fragrance like sunshine.

[Ding! Congratulations on discovering 'Sunshine Bean'! Its information has been recorded in the encyclopedia.]

"Wow! These beans are something else, my encyclopedia is buzzing..."

Ji Mingyu exclaimed in surprise, then looked at Xiao Yun with a complex emotion in his eyes that seemed to say, "You still say you didn't turn it on?"

Feeling the watchful gaze on his back, Xiao Yun coughed softly twice but did not respond.

He picked beans, occasionally uprooting entire plants of Sun Beans.

However, once the roots of the sun bean are removed from the soil, it withers completely within seconds.

"What an amazing plant! Brother Yun, you want to grow it, right? Judging from the current situation, it might not be easy to grow."

Zhong Mo clicked his tongue in amazement. His hometown was also a farming area, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a magical plant.

Xiao Yun tossed the withered branch aside and said:

"It probably just can't be transplanted. Go back and get some seeds to try planting them."

The small vegetable garden that was settled the day before yesterday is still idle. It's a perfectly good piece of land lying fallow, and as someone from a Chinese family, I feel restless all over.

"Hey, you guys keep picking them, I'm going to take a leak."

Ji Mingyu rolled his eyes at Wang Tianyuan, who had spoken, and retorted:

"Lazy people poop and pee a lot..."

"Hey, it's just a matter of time!"

After Wang Tianyuan finished speaking, he found a large rock and opened the sluice gate to release the water.

"Ah, that feels great!"

Wang Tianyuan shivered, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and looked completely relaxed.

The next second, the smile on his face vanished, replaced by a look of confusion:

"Huh? That's strange, why doesn't that thing look like a tree branch?"

He muttered to himself, squinting, his gaze passing over the dense canopy of trees to a suspicious reddish-brown hue in the distance.

"Why does it look like a dormitory building?"

He muttered something to himself, then decisively climbed onto the rock, took out the binoculars he had found while touching the corpse, and looked at the reddish-brown area.

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!"

"Are you fucking trying to die?!"

"No, Ming-ge, Yun-ge, Lao-pang, come quick! See if that's another dormitory building over there?"

Xiao Yun's heart stirred, and he stopped what he was doing and went to Wang Tianyuan's side.

As soon as he stepped onto the rock, he saw that all-too-familiar reddish-brown color.

"That should be the dormitory building No. 4 mentioned in the preview. I didn't expect to see it here."

Xiao Yun sighed inwardly, but wasn't too surprised.

"Dormitory Building No. 4... So it's over here..."

Ji Mingyu muttered to himself, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, then looked at Xiao Yun:

"Well, Ah Yun, now that we've found another dormitory building, why don't we go check it out?"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Tianyuan also looked over, his eyes burning with desire.

"Brother Yun, let's go check and make sure I miss my girlfriends too."

"Waaaaah, Yun-ge, I miss my parents too... The two dorm buildings are so far apart, when will I ever be able to find them! Waaaaah..."

"..."

Xiao Yun's lips twitched slightly, and he remained silent for a moment.

Dormitory Building 4 is full of boys. Wang Tianyuan's girlfriend is not there, and Zhong Mo's parents are nowhere to be found.

However, he could understand why the three people in the other dormitories were more agitated.

But why would you go to a war-torn place now? Don't you want to die?

"Although we can see that dormitory, it's actually at least three to five kilometers away. If we go now, we won't be able to get back to our dormitory tonight."

Xiao Yun analyzed the current situation and tried to reassure the three of them:

"This means we'll either have to spend the night in the wild or stay in that dormitory building, and either option is extremely dangerous."

The three remained silent for a moment, some of them seemingly persuaded.

Xiao Yun struck while the iron was hot:

"Now that we know the location of the other dormitory building, it's not too late to explore it after we've made preparations. The dormitory building isn't going to grow legs and run away."

The three smiled and nodded upon hearing this.

"Alright, it's been so many days already, there's no rush."

Ji Mingyu patted Xiao Yun on the shoulder and asked:

"Sigh, Yun, judging from this situation, your childhood sweetheart should have transmigrated here too. Aren't you worried about her?"

Xiao Yun's expression shifted slightly. After a moment of silence, he sighed softly and said:

"What's the use of worrying? Their girls' dorm is almost halfway across the campus from our boys' dorm. Now the two dorm buildings are so far apart, who knows when we'll run into each other..."

She's lucky; she's smart, so she should be fine...

Xiao Yun shook his head, clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts, and called his brothers to continue working.

An hour later, the four returned laden with their spoils. Instead of heading back to their dormitory immediately, they made a detour to the west side of Starlight Lake to check the animal traps and snares they had set up the day before.

"Huh? That's strange, I remember putting it here, how did it disappear?"

Ji Mingyu frowned and led the group to search around, but in the end they only found a broken animal trap.

"That's impossible! I understand the trap being damaged, but the trap is nailed to the ground. Even if a wild boar comes, it won't be that easy to drag it away!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun frowned. Suddenly, Wang Tianyuan beside him shouted:

"Brother Yun, come and see, there are human footprints here."

Xiao Yun's heart stirred, and following Wang Tianyuan's guidance, he indeed saw several different footprints.

"Heh, so that's why the bear trap went missing. Turns out there was a thief..."

Ji Mingyu snorted coldly, his expression gradually turning icy.

He thought someone might steal it, but he didn't expect them to even take the animal trap.

Wang Tianyuan looked down and observed carefully again before continuing:

"Judging from the way the soil on the ground has been trampled out, it must have been left around noon today."

Zhong Mo also looked furious and spat:

"It's one thing to steal takeout orders, but to steal even your means of survival!"

Ji Mingyu's expression was icy as he said:

"It hasn't been that long. Let's go, let's find out which guy had the nerve to steal our stuff!"

As he spoke, he pulled Wang Tianyuan along, ready to begin the investigation.

"Forget it, several hours have passed, and there are no other clues besides the footprints. The chances of finding it are too small."

Xiao Yun reached out and stopped Ji Mingyu, sighing softly as he said:

"This place isn't exactly hidden. I was prepared when I first set the traps. Besides, what's done is done. There's no need to waste our time and energy trying to retrieve a few traps. A few traps are just a one-time settlement."

After listening to Xiao Yun's words, Ji Mingyu remained silent for a long time before letting out a long sigh.

"I just can't swallow this insult..."

Xiao Yun patted him on the shoulder:

"It's not about swallowing your anger, it's just about waiting for the right opportunity."

As he spoke, Xiao Yun pulled out the last animal trap from his backpack and smiled at the others:

"Once this kind of person succeeds once, they'll definitely come back here to 'try their luck.' We can set up a sting operation and catch them red-handed first thing tomorrow morning!"

The other three nodded in agreement. Then, Xiao Yun, under the pretext of exploring the terrain, went to the bushes mentioned in the preview.

"A silver treasure chest, let me see. Three E-rank cards! Hmm? A one-time use item card, a tranquilizer dart... so-so."

Hearing Xiao Yun's slightly dissatisfied sigh, the other three had mixed expressions.

"Dude, you opened it... wait, you forgot to turn it off again, didn't you? How come you can just casually pull a treasure chest out of the bushes?"

"Haha, I feel it, I feel it. Your intelligence isn't high enough, you don't understand."

"..."
