Chapter 139, Day 28 Settlement: Special Building - Tianyu Platform, Mysterious Gathering Resumes
Follow Yue Cangmang's pen and embark on an adventure in "Dormitory Group Transmigration: My Intelligence Updates Daily" on Kele Novels.
"Ah Yun, what should we do? Is it really possible to find the Resurrection Flower? Should we change our plan?"
Ji Mingyu said with deep concern:
"Or I could talk to Qi Huiming and ask him to wait another day and look around some more. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if they volunteered to be the bait tomorrow, but we can't produce anything."
The others nodded in agreement and offered their suggestions.
"It's alright, everyone rest assured. I will definitely have all the materials for the medicine ready by tomorrow morning."
Xiao Yun smiled and gestured for everyone to remain calm.
Everyone nodded, but some doubt remained in their hearts.
Today, everyone searched the area within a 10-kilometer radius of the dormitory building, and also contacted people in other dormitories to search. They even searched the south campus, but they couldn't find a trace of them.
Although she had complete faith in Xiao Yun, she couldn't just conjure up something that didn't exist out of thin air.
"If all else fails, I'll go and knock Qi Huiming's head off first thing tomorrow morning."
Ji Mingyu seemed to be deep in thought, while the others had also prepared contingency plans in their minds.
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Xiao Yun's expression was complicated, but because it concerned two secrets about himself, he did not explain.
In the morning, I used the forecast system to search and found that the Resurrection Flower only exists in the area of the Northwest Associated University in the same city.
Since the whisperer was not dead and the gate was not opened, Xiao Yun naturally had no way to go to the Northwest Associated University area to find materials.
However, the system also offered another option.
[...Tonight, above the gray fog, under the witness of the white tower, you will gain something.]
"If I could get the Resurrection Flower at tonight's Tarot reading, then was the Hanged Man, who guessed last time that we were from the same region, from Northwest Associated University?"
Xiao Yun pondered for a moment, then, after preparing the star fragments to be exchanged, he took advantage of a break from eating and chatting with everyone to sort out today's gains.
As a lord-level monster, the Heavenly Feather Golden Eagle drops the classic three-piece set.
The dropped [Natal Golden Feather] can awaken the [A-0011-Soaring Clouds] talent, granting the user speed and even the ability to float and fly at lower ranks.
The accompanying weapon, the Feather Blade, can be used at both close and long range, functioning as both a sword and a flying arrow.
"Brother Yun, this..."
Looking at the magnificent golden blade, Wang Tianyuan drooled all over the place.
Xiao Yun smiled helplessly and handed it to him:
"I'll give you the weapon, but not the talent. I'm going to give the talent to Kong Changhao."
After several days of nourishment, Kong Changhao's body was able to withstand the impact of his talent awakening, and Xiao Yun had been searching for a suitable talent.
【A-0011-Fu Yunxiangtian】is quite good. After being brought to S-rank by Kong Changhao's abilities, he might become stronger than you can imagine.
Wang Tianyuan knew about Kong Changhao's situation and nodded:
"No problem. This weapon and talent are a match. I'll just use it for now. Once Chang Hao has mastered the talent, I'll give him the weapon and teach him the combat skills of the archer class."
After saying that, he picked up his weapon and [Born Golden Feather] and sat down next to Kong Changhao, explaining to him some precautions regarding talent awakening and job change.
Seeing this, Xiao Yun felt relieved and looked at the last thing the Heavenly Feather Golden Eagle had dropped.
Exclusive building card: [Tianyu Terrace]
Like the Bloodfire Outpost, it is a special building that combines the functions of a watchtower and an arrow tower.
After being placed on the balcony, the original wooden-roofed stone-walled observation deck was transformed into a hollowed-out granite slab.
Lifting the heavy feather curtain that serves as a partition, one is greeted by a space of thirty square meters, with thick granite walls on both the top and bottom, where five [Sky Feather Crossbows] are set up.
Atop the granite lies a massive bird's nest, the celestial overlord looking down upon the earth.
"The windows are also protected now, and the feather blinds can keep us warm, so we don't have to worry about winter anymore."
Xiao Yun felt a little relieved. He patted the head of the Heavenly Feather Golden Eagle and instructed it to guard the house well and get along well with the other guard pets, including Goose Boss.
After dinner, everyone chatted for a while before saying their goodbyes.
The Crow King had already arrived at the South Campus. Xiao Yun returned to his room and quietly waited for the Tarot meeting to begin.
In the early morning, the daily settlement arrives first.
Today, you have acquired a wondrous book that contains all sorts of information about this world, encompassing everything and possessing immeasurable value...
[You and your companions hunted down the aerial overlord of this region—the Skywing Golden Eagle. Your former foe was slain by your sword and became the guardian of your home...]
Overall rating: 177 points, reward being distributed:
[Congratulations on obtaining 3 Medium Home Expansion Cards, 2 Medium Backpack Expansion Cards, 1 Down Comforter Crafting Blueprint, 1 Heavenly Feather Crown Crafting Blueprint, 3 Equipment Upgrade Cards, 3 Skill Upgrade Cards, and 3 Building Upgrade Cards]
Upon seeing the words "invaluable", Xiao Yun's heart skipped a beat, thinking he had struck it rich.
But after seeing the rating, I was still somewhat disappointed.
"Just treat it as a regular item, this system..."
Xiao Yun chuckled lightly, but wasn't too disappointed.
"The down comforter and the Cloud Crown are pretty good. The down comforter can be used to cope with winter, and the Cloud Crown provides the [levitation] ability, which is equivalent to a small displacement, and can save your life in critical moments."
With the tarot reading session about to begin, Xiao Yun temporarily put aside his idea of creating the [Cloud Crown].
After a familiar dizzying sensation, churning gray fog and a white pagoda appeared before my eyes.
Miss Moon arrived early, followed by the Hanged Man and the Warrior.
The white pagoda cast its light, and Mr. Pagoda's kind smiling face appeared before us.
"Greetings, Mr. Ta."
"Thanks."
After some pleasantries, the gathering officially began, with Xiao Yun maintaining his persona as a "mysterious and unpredictable alchemy master".
He remained silent most of the time, occasionally speaking up. Using the knowledge he had gained from the information he had previously shared, he always managed to amaze the others and earn a lot of admiring glances.
Before they knew it, the gathering was coming to an end. Xiao Yun made an excuse that he needed to conduct alchemy experiments and was missing a material called the "Resurrection Flower".
"Resurrection Flower? Oh! Mr. Death, guess what? Nobody knows more about this stuff than me!"
The Hanged Man proudly boasted about his knowledge of the [Resurrection Flower], specifically mentioning that it was a material only produced in his region.
Miss Moon and Mr. Warrior were astonished and also bought some of this special material from the Hanged Man, just in case.
Xiao Yun also took out a Star Fragment, preparing to make a transaction, but was stopped by the Hanged Man.
"You're looking down on me, Mr. Death. They're just some materials; how can they compare to the friendship between us?"
Xiao Yun was slightly taken aback, then sighed:
"Then thank you very much, Mr. Hanged Man."
The upside-down man waved his hand dismissively, but his face, obscured by the gray mist, broke into a wide smile.
"Awesome! I've been watching Death manifest himself in public every day, and now I've finally experienced it myself! Plus, Death is a mysterious big shot, hehe... I can even get a favor from him, it's killing two birds with one stone!"
In the end, Xiao Yun received a large bag of Resurrection Flowers, while the Hanged Man received Xiao Yun's friendship and gratitude.
Both sides felt they had made a killing...
Before we knew it, it was already the morning of the next day.
Ji Mingyu got up very early and tiptoed out of the house, preparing to arrest Qi Huiming.
Boom boom boom!
"Old Qi, open the door, I've brought you breakfast."
Ji Mingyu stood at the door with a smile on his face, but his hands behind his back were tightly gripping the brick-thick [Holy Word Book].
However, he waited for a long time but Qi Huiming did not open the door.
Just as Ji Mingyu was wondering, several sneaky figures suddenly appeared beside him.
"Hey, Ming-ge?"
"Ah Yuan, Lao Pang, Lao Xie, Lao Ji? What are you all doing here?"
"Haha, we... got up early, let's take a walk, take a walk."
The group exchanged glances, gave an awkward smile, and quickly put away their knives, spears, clubs, and ropes behind their backs.
After a moment of tacit silence, the group, realizing they shared the same goal, stopped pretending, exchanged a knowing glance, kicked open the door, and rushed inside.
"Nobody here?"
"Damn it, that kid got away!"
Everyone looked grim and hurried downstairs, only to find Qi Huiming already waiting downstairs.
"Good morning, everyone! Hmm? Where's Brother Yun? Why hasn't he come out yet? Didn't we agree to bring the medicine this morning?"
Seeing the silence of the crowd, a hint of pleasure and mockery flashed in Qi Huiming's eyes, but on the surface he shook his head and sighed softly:
"Sigh, that material is hard to find, no wonder everyone's upset. But the plan can't be delayed any longer... Anyway, that beast will hunt down living people, so I'll just use myself as bait to clear the way for everyone!"
Qi Huiming thumped his chest, his words earnest.
"Minister Qi..."
The other students around were moved to tears.
Some of the classmates who had once followed Qi Huiming also remembered his good deeds and became restless.
"Those who carry firewood for the masses should not be left to freeze to death in the wind and snow. This is the rule set by Director Xiao. Now that Minister Qi has volunteered to sacrifice himself for us, is it appropriate for us to have nothing to offer?"
"Where is Director Xiao? Where is Director Xiao? If it's about sacrificing Minister Qi's life so that more people can live, I don't want that kind of life!"
Seeing the sympathy and empathy of the crowd being stirred, Qi Huiming's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.
"Heh heh heh, what do you mean by high-level revenge? Taking everything from you without shedding a drop of blood, Xiao Yun. Perhaps, I don't even need to carry out the rest of my plan. This one move alone will be enough to strip you of your prestige and leave you with no hope for the future!"
Ji Mingyu and the others looked rather grim. They wanted to suppress the situation by force, but they were powerless to do so.
Their slogan has always been "to enable more people to live," and they promote justice and righteousness. If they forcibly suppress Qi Huiming today, their credibility will inevitably collapse, and the newly established order will likely crumble immediately.
"Where is Director Xiao? We need to see him!"
Just as the situation was becoming increasingly dire, steady footsteps echoed in the dormitory lobby.
"I'm here. I just finished crafting some equipment. It's getting late."
Xiao Yun glanced indifferently at the crowd and asked:
"What's all this noise about so early in the morning?"
Meeting those calm, still eyes, the crowd, which had just been filled with righteous indignation, instantly fell silent.
"I didn't expect this guy to have such high prestige, but... if he can't produce the potion, the result will still be the same."
A cold glint flashed in Qi Huiming's eyes, but on the surface he lowered his head and sighed:
"It was my fault. Everyone saw that I was going to use myself as bait to lure the Speaker, and I got a little emotional... Sigh, but I don't have any potions. This is the only way to break this deadlock."
"Brother Qi is willing to use himself as bait, which I greatly admire. We do not currently have the potion, however..."
Xiao Yun's lips curled up, and with a wave of his hand, various materials were spread all over the ground:
"It can be made fresh."
