Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

Xiao Yun had only gone halfway when he received good news.

[Defeat Zhang Weitao, 100% combat contribution, gain +7 Strength, +6 Agility, +6 Constitution, and +3 Intelligence.]

[Gained the skills Muscle Enhancement D, Charge D, Blood Rage D+]

[Defeat Xue Yan, 100% combat contribution, gain +6 Strength, +5 Agility, +5 Constitution, and +4 Intelligence.]

[Gained the skills Eagle Eye D, Critical Hit D, and Wind Bullet D+]

After putting away the system's kill notifications, Xiao Yun relaxed his tense expression and let out a long breath.

"The place where they died was nearly ten kilometers away from the dormitory building, and it was the boss who did it, so even if the student council investigates later, it will be extremely difficult."

It's a full moon night now, and it's perfectly normal for two professionals to be killed in the wilderness.

Although the method was rather crude, it was the best Xiao Yun could do at the moment.

On the other side, Jiang Shangzhen noticed the change in Xiao Yun's expression and looked over with a half-smile:

"Is it all done?"

Xiao Yun paused for a moment, then chuckled softly:

"As expected, nothing can be hidden from the teacher."

"Hey kid, do you think I don't know you?"

Jiang Shangzhen shook his head and chuckled, his eyes full of admiration as he looked at Xiao Yun.

"He acted decisively and handled the aftermath flawlessly; it seems I was right about him."

Jiang Shang sincerely admired him, but a hint of scrutiny remained in his eyes.

To put it bluntly, he came here to seek refuge with his student, which meant entrusting his life and fortune to Xiao Yun, so he had to be careful.

He couldn't stand encountering a hypocritical guy like Qi Huiming or someone with malicious intentions like Song Rui again.

"By the way, Xiao Yun, the night of the full moon is so dangerous, why did you leave the dormitory and manage to save me?"

Jiang Shangzhen suddenly asked, closely observing Xiao Yun's reaction.

If Xiao Yun cannot provide a reasonable explanation, it proves that he also obtained the information from the student council, and that everything just now was just a show and cannot be trusted.

Xiao Yun smiled faintly and said:

"Teacher, just consider it my unique ability."

Jiang Shangzhen pondered for a moment. He had just secretly used an alchemical tool that could detect lies, and based on Xiao Yun's calm reaction, he was already 80% convinced.

"Judging from what this kid is saying, he found me through his talent? A perception-type talent? I've never seen one like that before."

However, there are many kinds of talents in the world, and they are all kinds of wonders. For example, the way the student council tracks the life and death of its elite members is based on a mage's talent of "Death Messenger".

Jiang Shangzhen nodded, feeling half relieved.

Before I could ask any more questions, Xiao Yun spoke first:

"Teacher, why did you run all the way from the faculty and staff residential area to our place during such a dangerous time?"

After hearing this, Jiang Shangzhen remained silent for a while before slowly explaining the reason for his hasty departure from the student council.

"You've probably been in contact with the student council, right? Do you know what their goals are?"

"I know a little bit about it. It's about unifying everyone and establishing a new order? Isn't it a good thing that someone is willing to stand up during times of chaos?"

"Yes, provided they genuinely have other people's best interests at heart."

"What do you mean?"

Xiao Yun frowned, but then saw Jiang Shangzhen smile:

"Human ambition is boundless. The student council may have originally aimed to help more people survive, but under the leadership of President Qi, it has become distorted."

"Take scientific research, which I know best, for example. Initially, when the student union asked us teachers to collaborate, the research we were asked to do was beneficial to the survival of ordinary people, and facilitated development and exploration. But recently, their demand for weapons and lethal drugs has increased, and our work has changed."

"The world is becoming increasingly dangerous. I understand their desire for rapid development and unification with other dissenting groups, and it's normal for people to die when conflicts break out, but..."

As Jiang Shangzhen spoke, he suddenly frowned, as if recalling something unpleasant.

"Recently, they have been secretly conducting experiments, 'raising' those who have been captured, and even the families of hostile forces, in a captive manner. Once they have been raised to a certain extent, they will be harvested in batches to quickly train professionals."

Xiao Yun's pupils dilated, and a chill rose in his heart.

The survival of the fittest is unavoidable, but if we simply treat people as machines for racking up points...

"What a beast."

Xiao Yun sneered and cursed in a low voice.

"yes."

Jiang Shangzhen nodded as he looked at Xiao Yun's indignant expression.

It seems that I, as a student, have not yet lost my basic human decency.

"In the end, all that's left is to see how the atmosphere is in dormitory building number 3."

The two continued chatting casually, and soon they had a more detailed understanding of each other's recent situations.

Xiao Yun was not surprised that his teacher could become the student council's chief alchemist and even develop alchemical items that could block the senses of beasts and monsters.

Having risen from humble beginnings in the countryside, accumulating all four major academic honors by his early thirties, and publishing one SCI paper after another—nothing he achieves is surprising.

However, Xiao Yun heard an unexpected name from him.

"Did Qi Xiaoran send you to find me?"

"yes."

Jiang Shangzhen nodded, his expression towards Xiao Yun somewhat complicated:

He said you have the appearance of a dragon and phoenix, unparalleled talent, and unmatched elegance in your time, making you a model for the world. He said if I were to run away, I would definitely come and seek refuge with you.

Xiao Yun was taken aback, only to see Jiang Shangzhen looking at him with a half-smile:

"Now it seems that it truly lives up to its reputation."

"Cough cough cough... It's one thing for that guy to be so outspoken, but you're making fun of me about it too, teacher."

Xiao Yun blushed and quickly changed the subject.

Jiang Shangzhen simply smiled faintly and did not respond.

Although Qi Xiaoran's words were exaggerated, it seems that Xiao Yun is not necessarily unworthy of these titles.

As I was pondering this, the gate of dormitory building No. 3 was already in sight.

At the entrance, everyone was busy in an orderly manner. What surprised Jiang Shangzhen and the others even more was that many people did not show any tension about facing the full moon night, and even had smiles on their faces.

"this……"

Jiang Shangzhen was even more surprised, as he could discern some secrets from the spirit and energy of these people alone.

This indicates that the crisis on the night of the full moon did not have a significant impact on them, and the losses were within a controllable range. They even had extra manpower to rotate the defense, which allowed these defenders to have sufficient energy.

Unbeknownst to him, Jiang Shangzhen's opinion of Xiao Yun had risen even higher.

The world is never short of strong people and geniuses, but it is rare to find someone who can lead others to become stronger while ensuring their own strength.

The busy crowd at the entrance noticed Xiao Yun and his group approaching and all showed expressions of surprise and delight.

"Building manager, the building manager is back!"

"Hey, why did the building manager bring someone back? Who's worth the building manager personally picking up?"

"Bro, the leader's headshot is hanging at the entrance of Dafabet every day, don't you recognize him? He's one of the top big shots in our school, a legendary half-step academician level expert."

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock:

"Hiss... It's actually a super big shot, terrifyingly powerful. Judging from the way the building manager and that person look, they must be master and apprentice, right? So that's why the building manager is so awesome."

"Tsk tsk tsk, the building manager is still the building manager. He went out for a trip and brought back a top-tier big shot. When will I be able to have such good fortune? I don't even need to bring back a top-tier big shot, I'd be willing to be a dog for a big shot."

"Stop behaving yourselves! What kind of behavior is this in front of the teacher?"

Ji Mingyu laughed and scolded, putting down his tools and running over to Jiang Shangzhen in a few steps, rubbing his hands together with a grin:

"Hello, Teacher Jiang. I don't know if you still remember me. My name is Ji Mingyu."

"Hehe, of course I remember. He's Mayor Liu's son, the one who sleeps in my class every day."

"..."

Ji Mingyu blushed and quickly changed the subject.

"Ah Yun, I think it's about time, so I helped everyone tidy up. What do you think we should do with these materials?"

He pointed to the mountain of materials behind him, then whispered mysteriously in Xiao Yun's ear:

"I know you initially set the rules for a 50/50 split between participating personnel and groups, but with so many resources, are you really going to divide them up?"

"Of course, this was decided from the very beginning."

Xiao Yun looked at him with surprise, wondering why he would ask such a question.

Ji Mingyu looked at Xiao Yun, his eyes flashing.

"I don't mean to question you, it's just that it's a shame to see so many resources being given away."

"What's there to regret? Didn't we keep half of it?"

"this……"

Ji Mingyu remained silent, while Xie Yingjie leaned in and whispered in Xiao Yun's ear:

"Brother Yun, everyone knows that the fact that there were so few casualties today is mostly due to your efforts. There's really no need to split the credit 50/50."

"Even according to the old student council rules, the maximum split would be 30/70 between individuals and groups."

If it were just a little bit of resources, the two of them wouldn't have said much, but the key is that tonight's gains were beyond their expectations.

An extra 10% or 20% in profits could create at least two more professionals.

Our forces are just starting out, and it's not easy to cultivate a few more powerful confidants, so why send them out? Besides, they might not even be grateful.

Jiang Shangzhen stood to the side with his arms crossed, watching Xiao Yun with great interest.

I never expected that the opportunity to test Xiao Yun's character, which I mentioned on the way, would actually appear before my eyes.

Although Xiao Yun had perfectly met his expectations, and even slightly exceeded them in some aspects, just as a teacher always hopes that his students will be even more outstanding, he also hoped that Xiao Yun could perfectly answer this bonus question.

What may seem like a simple allocation actually concerns one of his most pressing concerns.

"When faced with the most tangible benefits, many people forget their original intentions. Are you... like that?"
