Chapter 608: The Expansion Realm Gradually Gets on Track

One week after the first batch of students arrived at Ninglan New City, the second batch of applicants also gradually entered the Expansion Realm.

For most people, many things were gradually getting on track.

For example, with the help of the Seed of Great Knowledge, the first batch of teaching assistants who learned the common language of this civilization had immediately conducted in-depth communication and understanding with those refugees.

Some crystal mining areas and other regions around Ninglan New City were uniformly called resource points, were numbered, and data surveys had been conducted.

The mining of some Transcendent material areas had already let the City Defense Army of Ninglan New City undergo professional training and standardized mining.

Mining techniques for energy mining areas were also gradually being popularized, and some customized alchemy items for special energy level protection began to be sold.

Using this alchemy item, one could resist the corresponding energy radiation in specific energy mining areas and conduct resource mining.

With these alchemy items and standardized rectification, most people already had their own stable "jobs" in the Expansion Realm.

And the bigger change was the disaster relief tent planning area set up outside Ninglan New City.

Currently, those refugees no longer need to sleep in the open.

At least at night, they can hide in tents without blowing the night wind.

Some medicines also began to circulate and be supplied.

Minor illnesses like colds and coughs could be treated, and some seriously injured people also began to gradually accept surgical treatment, etc.

After receiving this help, these refugees also heard even better news: at another landmark creation not very far from Ninglan New City, the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree.

A teaching assistant named "Yang Yuehan" opened up a shelter there, and they united the manpower and material resources of multiple clubs like Wan Shi Wu, Witch's Secret Realm Club, etc., to go help improve the construction of the shelter.

And they promised that after that Calamity Shelter was completed, it would be enough to accommodate all current refugees.

Afterward, they wouldn't need to live in tents anymore and could return to normal modern life.

This undoubtedly gave those refugees hope for survival.

People are like this.

After surviving a disaster, even if rescued, when confused about the future, this rescue only allows their bodies to survive, but their spirits remain trapped in the disaster.

Only by giving them hope and motivation to live on, even amidst disaster, their eyes will be full of vitality and drive.

And during this period, the teaching assistants who communicated with those refugees also learned the name of that huge tree from them, "Myriad Connection Main Network Tree," a very important tree in their civilization.

But after a rough understanding, they became less interested because it was a hub for building a plant network with tree roots, a base station for their civilization to access the internet.

According to refugees who had been there, they have now lost the means to communicate with the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree.

Plant technology products like mobile phones also cannot connect to the network.

And they are not professional maintenance personnel, not knowing how to repair it.

The various devices originally used for communication are now just decorative bricks; they can't even charge with Earth Energy.

So after understanding this information, those teaching assistants naturally had no interest in this.

They still have the Academy Network, and even have tasks to establish base stations for the Academy Network outside Ninglan New City to facilitate communication between students going out.

So they guessed that Teaching Assistant Xiao Han researching that tree was simply a thankless task.

Did she feel the Academy Network was not easy to use or inconvenient?

What is the use of helping these people rebuild that so-called Plant Network?

By the time the Plant Network is perfected again, who knows where they will have promoted the Academy Network to.

However, while the students of the Witch Academy were operating in full swing, students from other Transcendent Academies also stayed away from the area where the witches were, heading towards farther directions.

They didn't want to clash with the guys from the Witch Academy.

Although those resource points didn't belong to anyone, and no one was qualified to stop the other party from mining resources here, conflicts were inevitable when working together.

Moreover, they also anticipated that the Witch Academy would probably cause trouble for them, so they naturally consciously stayed away from the area around Ninglan New City.

Their primary goal was still to use Ninglan New City as a springboard to facilitate the transportation and trading of supplies.

Originally, they were very ambitious, thinking about building a city comparable to Ninglan New City, gathering those refugees for city operation, and then opening a stable channel to travel with their academy.

But now... due to various factors, they had to compromise with reality and the Witch Academy.

From the very beginning, the Witch Academy started putting pressure on them, and it was all-round pressure, the kind where even if they were serious, they might not necessarily be in the right.

This belongs to normal means.

If positions were swapped, maybe their means would be even more ruthless.

So they had to start by building a shelter to gather refugees.

As the saying goes, dreams are good, but everything has to be built starting from a brick and a tile.

Don't forget, they only have one semester's time, and so many days were wasted before this officially started.

Actually, calculating fully, there isn't even a semester.

As for what to plan for the second year next year, this is still unclear, but they know that if they cannot establish a stable teleportation channel to interface with their own academy, and also have a peripheral facility that can operate and maintain, their academy will be destined to miss out on this Expansion Realm in the future!

So their task is heavy.

Not only that, they also need to deal with various crises of dream overlap that might erupt suddenly.

Just in these few days since they came to the Expansion Realm, three areas of dream overlap have appeared outside Ninglan New City, and they are still constantly spreading.

However, fortunately, that Mentor Elena located in Ninglan New City really teaches everything.

Even people from other academies will be taught the Nightmare Spell.

For a moment, they all felt that the pattern of the Witch Academy's mentor was much bigger.

And at the Calamity Shelter here at this moment.

These days, the people gathered here witnessed too many miracles.

Those extraordinary powers that could shape mud and bend metal with a wave of hands dazzled them.

And these people are the students of the Witch Academy mastering the construction series of spells, and they even have specialized clubs. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Before the start of school, when Modu was destroyed into that state by those players, it was also them who rushed to carry out infrastructure reconstruction and building repair urgently.

They also completed such a miracle in the shortest time.

And now, their figures appeared here again.

After all, professional matters naturally should be handed over to professional people to be responsible.

And they are the synonym for professionalism in architectural infrastructure.

And those seven people were also extremely busy during this period.

As the designated persons in charge of the Calamity Shelter, they needed to communicate with the other party, and also needed to be responsible for everyone in the shelter.

They mastered this power, and likewise shouldered the corresponding responsibility.

Even if they knew nothing about this, they still had to do their best.

If they didn't understand, find people who did to cooperate.

If there were no people understanding architecture in the shelter, then ask Ninglan New City to select architectural talents to communicate with the other party.

As the communication and exchange between the Calamity Shelter and Ninglan New City increased, the road connecting the two territories also began to be built.

After all, the idea of building roads first if wanting to be rich is always correct.

If the Calamity Shelter wants to develop, it naturally has to rely on Ninglan New City, because all newly built construction materials need to be transported from there.

"Those women all call themselves witches... Clearly we represent the persons in charge of the Calamity Shelter... Their attitude is a bit too... too..."

"Put away your thoughts of wanting to show off. We are not on the same level as them. Our current positioning is begging for food. Do you still expect to arrogantly ask them for money?"

After sending off the person in charge from the other party, one of the seven people responsible for the Calamity Shelter quickly began to complain.

"Ryan, don't belittle our own people so much. They also need us, don't they? Being needed means having value to be utilized. Haven't you experienced the workplace? Even if both are humans, my previous company... hehe, the gap was bigger than between humans and beasts, let alone the absolute gap in strength between the other party and us."

"Did your company treat people so inhumanely?"

"Haven't I broken away from that company now? Never felt so free before."

The one speaking was the only female among the seven.

She is called Zhuang Ru.

Judging from her temperament, she has the aura of a strong woman, but that is just a pretense.

"So good, the world reshuffled, all order..."

"We just have good fate. Those with bad fate are already dead. If this sentence of yours is heard by others, I'm afraid you'll be scolded."

"I know my own weight. By the way, after contacting those witches, did you feel their attempt to rope you in? I feel they seem somewhat at odds with the Calamity Witch, explicitly and implicitly wanting to sow discord."

"You guys too? I'm about the same, but as soon as I asked if they could give me the method to harness extraordinary power, they shut up."

"Are you crazy... talking about this here? You are..."

"I didn't betray. I just refused them in another way. They never viewed us as equals. Although the Calamity Witch... uh, you all know, at least she gave us the opportunity to harness extraordinary power! Only the seven of us!"

"However... speaking of extraordinary power, did you succeed with that meditation method and that meditation technique on the system?"

"Cultivating the meditation method has no effect. At least I've been trying these days, can't feel mental strength at all. And that meditation technique... to be honest, getting started is a bit hard, but can't see what use it has, though feel refreshed after using it."

"What a coincidence, I am about the same."

"So that's how it is. However, I have some clues about the meditation method. Look at this."

Just as the few were complaining to each other, one of them spoke.

Others looked over.

This man called himself Wan Zhuang.

At this moment, he bent down halfway, palm pressed against the ground, then slowly raised it.

"Look at what?"

"This, Earth Energy! I can control Earth Energy!"

Wan Zhuang explained, even with a hint of showing off in his tone uncontrollably!

After all, he was the first to succeed!

However, this has to mention the coincidence earlier.

Previously at night, he stayed up late sitting cross-legged on the ground, trying to meditate again, but unexpectedly he succeeded.

When he excitedly wanted to stand up, hands propped on the ground, that tiny bit of mental strength cultivated by the meditation method sensed the abnormal fluctuation underground.

Plus the autonomous prompt of the system, made him understand he could control Earth Energy.

However... this Earth Energy is very weak, but this doesn't hinder the fact that he achieved mastering extraordinary power!

"Fuck! Wan Zhuang, how did you do it!"

Wan Zhuang's success instantly ignited the spirits of the other few.

Someone among them succeeded, so this also means they can too!

Amidst a burst of noise, Wan Zhuang finished enjoying the pleasure of being touted, and then began to share the power he mastered with everyone.

However, he is still very weak now.

The Earth Energy mastered might not even be able to charge a mobile phone.

But under everyone's request, they also tried to charge a mobile phone.

"Wow, success! Success! Really turned on!"

"Your Earth Energy control is quite good. Charging too fast, won't it explode the phone's energy storage board?"

"Don't jinx it, okay?"

"Wait! Fuck, the phone can actually connect to the internet? Fuck, that Myriad Connection Main Network Tree is still operating?"

Soon, Ryan pointed at the display on Wan Zhuang's phone.

There was actually a signal connection directly.

"Eh eh! Try going online, see if posting a thread gets any replies."

"How is it possible? We've been in this world for so long without Earth Energy charging ports. The Myriad Connection Main Network Tree also mutated and can't connect. Who can we find?"

"Just try, what if?"

"Yeah yeah, you only have that little Earth Energy. Check quickly before the Earth Energy runs out."

Under the instigation of the few, Wan Zhuang connected to the internet and opened the software on the phone.

But before they could ask anything, the phone screen suddenly flashed, and an image popped up forcibly.

"Eh? Wait, what's the situation? Phone froze? Or broke?"

Not long after this sentence was finished, a figure appeared on their phone screen.

"I was wondering where the signal came from. It's you guys. Can use Earth Energy to charge phones. Who among you can already harness Earth Energy? Speed is fast enough."

As this familiar voice came, everyone shivered subconsciously.

"Lady Calamity Witch! You, you are..."

"I am modifying the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree. Seeing your phone signal can connect here, I am somewhat surprised. I can't be bothered to talk nonsense with you. Since someone has already succeeded and possesses mental strength, then come to me first. Those without mental strength, work hard on your own first. Alright, nothing else, I'm hanging up first."

At this moment, Wan Zhuang's phone screen returned to normal again, only the Earth Energy was exhausted a few seconds after this, and the screen went off directly.

"This, this..."

At this moment, Wan Zhuang didn't know what to say anymore.

They actually connected directly to that Calamity Witch?

"Wan Zhuang, go first. Scout the path for us. If you master more powerful extraordinary power... don't forget brothers."

"Yeah, don't forget brothers, do your best!"

At this moment, the few people also came forward to pat his shoulder.

For a moment, couldn't tell if their expressions were envy or rejoicing.

Extraordinary power is always accompanied by danger.

Even if they are very obsessed with extraordinary power, they have to face the danger squarely.

And at this moment someone goes ahead for them first, they can only give blessings.

They must bless, hoping from the bottom of their hearts that Wan Zhuang succeeds, because if he doesn't succeed, it means the chance of them succeeding is also very small.
