Qiu Yuan observed the students for a while. After confirming that no one was slacking off, he entered the chamber once more and retrieved a file marked “Class Two, Third Year” from a cabinet. After flipping through more than ten pages, he found the information he wanted. Under the “Name” field were two characters— Cheng Han. Qiu Yuan muttered to himself, “Twelve years ago, both parents unfortunately died in an encounter with a ‘Weird Demon,’ after which he was taken in by the…-

The final class of the afternoon was usually a self-study period reserved for students to complete homework. By now, the sky had already darkened considerably. Several Gray Crystal Lamps inside the classroom had all been lit. Cheng Han narrowed his eyes as he stared at the elegantly designed Gray Crystal Lamps, his thoughts drifting. The so-called “Gray Crystal Lamps” were lighting devices powered by “Gray Crystals,” which were special crystals containing small amounts of Origin…-

All of this took longer to describe than to happen. From Jiang Wang rushing straight to the inner academy to Dong A’s decisive move, everything occurred within an extremely short span of time. Just before the vine snakes completely closed together in midair, a pale figure found a gap and shot into the sky at incredible speed, seemingly about to escape. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Countless wooden spikes shot out violently, piercing straight through him in an instant! His body jerked again and…-

Leaving through the west gate of Maple Forest City, if one followed the official road for about seven or eight li, then turned left onto a small path, it would take less than half an incense stick’s time to see the Green Willow River, its banks encircled by drooping willows. At this moment, the evening wind brushed against the face, and the bright moon was reflected in the rippling water, shimmering in silver waves. When Jiang Wang emerged from the small path, he saw Ling He’s thin back standing…-

Ye Yaodong stood in the corner of the room with a pounding headache. With no cigarettes to smoke, he could only bite on a stalk of straw while watching his eldest and second uncles argue with his father and two older brothers until their faces were red and veins bulged from their necks. They were slamming the table so hard it rattled loudly. He simply couldn’t understand it. Wasn’t he supposed to have died after being hired as a deckhand on a large fishing vessel? He had gone up to the deck on a…-

This matter really wasn’t suitable to bring out into the open. When the old man’s funeral was held two years ago, all the neighbors had come to help, and everyone knew exactly how the inheritance had been divided. It had already been two years since the division, and nobody had raised any objections all that time. Now that Father Ye had suddenly made a large sum of money, his brothers jumping out to demand a share really didn’t sound good. If Father Ye and their mother were willing to give…-

Not long afterward, the street lamps along the roadside all lit up. These lamps were lighting devices fueled by “Brown Oil,” which was extracted from a perennial tree known as the Stonefruit Tree. Once the tree reached twelve years of age, it would bear stonefruit. The fruit’s outer shell was as hard as rock, while the inside contained thick, high-energy oil known as “Stonefruit Resin.” After refinement, it could produce Brown Oil. The leftover residue, when mixed with wood chips, could…-

Early the next morning. After getting up, Cheng Han first found several items from a drawer and began applying them to his face. Over the past year, he had obtained a great deal of strange, little-known knowledge through the Omniscient Eye. For example, the rhizomes of Lanzhi Grass could be squeezed for juice, then boiled and simmered dry to produce a pure black pigment with no unusual smell. It was a natural cosmetic material. After applying simple makeup, Cheng Han rode his bicycle to school…-

In his previous life, all he cared about was fooling around with his friends. He never paid attention to what was happening at home. Every day, he’d wake up and go out drinking and messing around with his buddies. By dinnertime, he’d stumble home drunk. He only vaguely remembered hearing that they’d caught a net full of large yellow croakers. As for the exact price they sold for, he hadn’t listened carefully before drunkenly returning to his room to sleep. At this time, although large yellow…-

Hearing his father’s question, Ye Yaodong glanced sideways at him, jiggling his leg with a careless, sloppy air. “Just because you don’t know doesn’t mean I don’t know. I don’t spend all day fooling around outside for nothing!” Father Ye had originally wanted to ask him a few serious questions, but the moment he heard that, his temper flared. “You spend all day wandering around outside and you’re actually proud of it? You’re already married, yet you’re never home, lazy all…-
