The world was bright again.

Countdown 168:00:00.

Ma Jingjing sat in her double dorm room, looking at the countdown on her arm, then at Yi Wenbo opposite, who looked equally bewildered...

The two simultaneously voiced the question from the depths of their souls: "The one by the lake just now, was that Daybreak's Boss, Qing Chen?"

Yes, it was Qing Chen.

The other party's appearance had been made public, and their ability to instantly change their appearance was completely consistent with the title of "Thousand-faced God" given by the Shendai Consortium...

It's just that Ma Jingjing and Yi Wenbo still hadn't quite reacted.

To be precise, they couldn't believe it.

Their encounter with Qing Chen was a bit coincidental. They met on the Steam Train, first thinking he was a spirit, then thinking he was shamelessly freeloading on the tour guide.

As a result, at the last moment before returning, everything suddenly reversed.

The figure at the apex of the Time Traveler pyramid was right beside them.

Ma Jingjing stood up and opened the curtains, looking out the window at the surging black waves of the midnight sea.

The Time Traveler Academy dorms were luxurious. A forty-two-square-meter room for two people was like a standard room in a five-star hotel in a big city.

The two small beds in the dorm were even intelligent lifting beds, which could raise the legs, making the legs higher than the heart level, helping blood return.

On the bedside table, there were intelligent switches to control the entire room's lighting and curtains.

Once the curtains were opened, the floor-to-ceiling windows of the dorm revealed cliffs and the vast sea. If the windows were opened, you could hear the sound of the waves hitting the cliffs.

It was exhilarating.

If you looked from the vast sea towards the cliff, you could see neatly arranged dorms, with bright lights in the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

The entire Time Traveler Academy has over 60,000 students; elementary school students are eight to a room, junior high and high school students are four to a room, and university students are two to a room.

The island is as large as a city, and more than 20,000 dormitories are lit with soft yellow lights.

Like glass boxes, they are neatly embedded on the long coastline, on the black cliffs.

Like a beautiful galaxy.

If uninformed people came, they would surely think this was a top-notch cliffside hotel.

Exquisite and grand.

This Academy was jointly built by Nine Provinces and Kunlun.

Every student who comes here can't help but marvel.

At this time, Ma Jingjing said, "I've heard that Daybreak is powerful, but without seeing it with my own eyes, I had no clear idea... If he's the Master of Daybreak, then someone coming after him in the Forbidden Zone makes sense."

Yi Wenbo nodded heavily: "But it's different from what the outside world imagines. Everyone thought he would be running for his life, avoiding assassination, but he still had the leisure to go and rob us of our Dragon Fish."

After Qing Chen captured the Ten Attendants Shendai Jing Cheng.

Everyone thought that the Shendai Consortium would launch a frantic retaliation, and that Qing Chen would only live in the shadow of being hunted from then on.

The Master of Daybreak, though powerful, would certainly not be able to contend with an entire Conglomerate.

However, the Qing Chen in Ma Jingjing's and Yi Wenbo's eyes was not at all what they imagined; he didn't seem to panic at all, but rather played cards and sang songs on the Steam Train.

As if nothing had happened.

Even when fierce gunfire rang out in the No. 10 Forbidden Zone, the boy was still by the lake, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Just this calm and composed attitude was enough to shock everyone after Ma Jingjing and the others learned the truth.

Actually, in the Forbidden Zone, Qing Chen didn't really do anything to show his strength.

But Yang Yang's laser guidance ability, Zard and Qing Ye easily handling the assassination, all spoke volumes.

Invisibly, the identity of the Master of Daybreak became even more mysterious.

They knew Qing Chen and his people were powerful, but their limited perspective meant they couldn't even guess how powerful he was.

They recalled his ease in entering the Forbidden Zone, and his mysterious subordinates. Their self-satisfied good days were nothing in comparison.

Knock, knock, knock, there was a knock on the door.

Ma Jingjing went to open the door; Xiao Yu and Li Mengyun were standing in the corridor.

At this time, the corridor was unusually lively. Newly enrolled students were introducing themselves and exchanging contact information.

But Li Mengyun anxiously said, "Ma Jingjing, I didn't see wrong, did I? In the Inner World just now... was that Qing Chen?"

As soon as those two words, Qing Chen, came out, the entire corridor suddenly fell silent.

The dorm corridors of the Time Traveler Academy were like a maze, yet even that couldn't stop the charm of those two words, Daybreak. Everyone gathered around.

Ma Jingjing suddenly felt uneasy. He glanced around and whispered, "Come inside and talk, don't shout outside."

But before he could close the door, the students in the corridor had already surrounded them: "Wait, were you just talking about Qing Chen? Is it the Qing Chen from Daybreak? Were you with him?"

Ma Jingjing sighed, it was over.

A person in the crowd saw Ma Jingjing's eyes light up: "Hey, Ma Jingjing! I follow your Douyin account! In your last video, you said you were going to the No. 10 Forbidden Zone, did you meet Qing Chen there?"

Ma Jingjing is a Douyin blogger who specializes in Inner World exploration videos; he takes photos and videos in the Inner World and then earns traffic back in the Outer World.

He already has 700,000 fans.

In his last trip, he said he was going to the No. 10 Forbidden Zone, and now many fans are waiting for him to update.

At this time, Xiao Yu whispered beside him, "If you say we went to the No. 10 Forbidden Zone with Qing Chen, your fans might break ten million..."

Ma Jingjing thought for a moment, looking at the throng of people around him: "We did meet the Master of Daybreak, Qing Chen. As for what happened, we'll put it in the video; everyone can follow my Douyin account in advance."

He was thinking, could he directly make a video titled "A Trip to Daybreak'?

What Weibo "Big Rich Man' can do, he can do too.

At this time, Ma Jingjing's gaze suddenly went past the crowd and saw a person with a small sapling on their head swaying unsteadily towards the outside.

Because there were too many people, he could only see the swaying little sapling.

He quickly pushed through the crowd, following the little sapling through the sea of heads: "Hey, Zard!"

Zard turned around in surprise: "Did you get the wrong person?"

Ma Jingjing's expression changed: "Brother, can the sapling on your head be fake?"

Zard pondered for two seconds: "Oh, right, right..."

"We're not in the No. 10 Forbidden Zone anymore!" Ma Jingjing pulled him aside and whispered, "The person in the No. 10 Forbidden Zone, was that really Qing Chen?"

Zard looked at the ceiling: "I don't know."

As he spoke, Little Eagle came with Li Tongyun, Shinguji Maki, Nangeng Chen, Liu Dezhu, and Jiang Xue.

Zard beamed: "I've finally waited for you! The Boss asked me to bring something back, and I need to give it to you!"

Xiao Tongyun and the others were all stunned; who is this guy?

Then Zard suddenly reached into his chest, pulling a Dragon Fish out from his sandy chest cavity: "Here, Qing Chen said this is for a little girl!"

The Dragon Fish had a mouthful of sand in its mouth, looking as if it had choked.

The fish was dead; Zard couldn't bring live creatures back.

Actually, until the moment he was about to return, Qing Chen only realized that Huan Yu's ability to transport items from the Inner World didn't come from some Forbidden Artifact.

But Zard's body.

At this time, the crowd gathered around again. Li Tongyun looked expressionlessly at the students: "Get out of the way."

This voice had a strange intimidating power, and the students, who had been excitedly crowding around, involuntarily made way.

Someone whispered, "This is Daybreak's Li Tongyun... and Liu Dezhu and the others, Daybreak members have arrived!"

...

...

In the morning, Luo Wanya rode his bicycle to Luo City Institute of Technology.

Now, only he remained in Luo City, and his life remained calm, seemingly unchanged.

Only he no longer went to international relations classes.

He wanted to recharge. This big brother of the Jianghu felt he had never craved knowledge so much.

At first, Luo Wanya had some reading difficulties; he couldn't get into it, but now he had no problems at all; he couldn't even eat if he didn't read a book for a day.

At this moment, Luo Wanya was sitting in the library looking at materials on the history of modern China when he heard the sound of high heels approaching.

He looked up and saw the female teacher standing opposite him.

The female teacher didn't blame him; she simply stood opposite him with a smile: "Why did you delete me?"

Luo Wanya thought for a moment and smiled: "How did you find me?"

"You're a celebrity in school now; it's not hard to find you," the female teacher said, "Why are you avoiding me and not going to class?"

Luo Wanya said seriously, "We have different paths, so we don't share the same goals."

The female teacher was somewhat surprised: "Where do our paths differ? I'm curious. You're almost fifty years old; why are you so loyal to a high school student?"

"It's not loyalty," Luo Wanya shook his head, "We are fellow travelers."

He recalled the midnight before his last trip, Qing Chen's promise: We are changing the world now. I hope there will be more and more fellow travelers on this road. We only need to be loyal to that common ideal. If one day I compromise with reality, like a weak loser, then I will no longer be myself. At that time, I hope you leave me, or kill me.

Until that moment, Luo Wanya finally felt a sense of identification with Qing Chen.

No matter what the future holds, for now, being loyal to Qing Chen is being loyal to the ideal.

The female teacher was somewhat incredulous. She didn't expect Luo Wanya, this rough man, to resist her charm: "You are fellow travelers, then what about me?"

Luo Wanya calmly said, "You and I are different. You strive to become a superior person, while we are striving so that there are no longer inferior people. Please leave; don't disturb me, thank you."

The female teacher's Face[-] turned cold: "I saw online that the Daybreak members have all left, and only you are left to guard the house. I think they don't treat you as one of their own."

Luo Wanya carelessly smiled, "You're wrong. Disappear before I get angry; I'm already a little disgusted with you, all surface and no substance."

Luo Wanya didn't think he was the one who was left behind.

Qing Chen had been silently guarding Luo City, in case someone assassinated the lone Luo Wanya.

After he had dealt with the fire and moved to a new secret base, he boarded the high-speed rail to Zheng City.

Now... the Boss should have arrived in Zheng City.

Going to school, what a desirable phrase. Luo Wanya smiled. If he had the chance, he would also like to go to school like Qing Chen and the others.

However, he now hoped that the children in the slums of the Inner World could have the right to go to school, just like the children in the Outer World.
