"Got rich! Got rich!"
The stone floated up from the bushes, excitedly watching the splashing water in the distance.
Lin smiled widely as one box after another was delivered to him, stuffing the large boxes into his backpack.
"That's twenty-five now, and there are three more coming from Edible!"
Under Lin's guidance, Edible prioritized transporting the large boxes, which made up more than half of the total. This way, even as Lin grew stronger and required more energy, it would be enough for him to last two years!
...
"Twenty-eight..."
Lin happily received another box from Edible, affectionately patting its head while looking off into the distance.
While that group of people was still fighting fiercely over a single box, Lin had already quietly made a fortune.
This time, there were fewer than a hundred boxes produced by the ruins, and Lin had seized a third of them. He had already cleared out all the boxes in this water area.
The remaining boxes were either pushed to distant waters or still lying at the bottom of the lake, not yet dislodged by the water columns. Finding those boxes would be challenging.
"Let Edible come back; people from the academy are on their way and should arrive here in about three minutes!"
Amidst his excitement, the stone remained vigilant, continuously observing the situation in the distance. His internal detector had already sensed a large group of people rapidly approaching.
Hearing the stone's words, Lin nodded and called Edible back.
Not being greedy was one of Lin Yi's superior qualities; no matter the circumstances, he would not lose his rationality, regardless of how tempting it was.
Taking what he could is enough; he always left others a way out. If he truly pushed things to an extreme, unforeseen consequences could arise.
After all, even a cornered rabbit will bite; exposing oneself for resources was clearly not worth it!
Three minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Just as Lin arranged for Edible to return to Destruction Nest, Bai Quexin's communication came through again, with urgent beeping sounds arriving just in time.
"Where are you?"
Bai Quexin's anxious face appeared on the video call.
"I'm nearby, Teacher Bai. Just come over directly!"
Seeing the fleet of flying vehicles approaching the water column in the distance, Lin Ye quickly adjusted his clothes and stepped out from the bushes, waving at them.
The school's team soon spotted Lin, and one of the flying vehicles detached from the group and landed beside him.
With a hissing sound, the vehicle opened up, and Bai Quexin along with Passionfruit stepped out.
"Teacher Bai! Teacher Baixiang!"
Upon seeing the two, Lin immediately smiled and waved.
"You rascal!"
Bai Quexin hurried over to Lin, patted his shoulder, and looked him up and down. After confirming he was unharmed, he finally smiled and lit a cigarette.
It had been a month since Lin last saw Bai Quexin. Seeing him again stirred up many emotions within Lin. Bai Quexin had changed somewhat, which made Lin reflect deeply.
Although Bai Quexin still smiled carefree and looked scruffy as always, Lin felt he was different. His aura had weakened significantly, and he seemed more worn out than before.
Especially the empty sleeve made Lin feel inexplicably sad. His left arm was lost while protecting Lin, a burden that would haunt Lin Xin for a lifetime.
"Teacher Bai, your arm..."
Lin's smile gradually faded, and the furrowed brow revealed his inner pain.
"Haha, it's nothing. They want to give me an armed prosthetic and do some transplant regeneration. I've refused all of it!"
Bai Quexin laughed heartily, but his cheerful demeanor only deepened Lin's sorrow, making his eyes feel slightly moist.
He held a cigarette in his mouth, resting his arm on Lin's shoulder, and said with a grin, "It's uncomfortable using something that doesn't belong to you. Besides, losing this arm might actually be beneficial for me. I've fought hard enough, and I wasn't punished much up there!"
No matter how he explained it, it was just a way to find joy in suffering. Lin understood that the bearded man didn't want him to feel guilty.
He sniffed, wiped away the tears in his eyes, and stopped showing any signs of pain. Instead, he laughed along with Bai Quexin, carefree.
"Teacher Bai, I think you look even cooler like this!"
"Haha? Really? Alright then, because of that compliment, I'll treat you to drinks tonight!"
The two walked forward with their arms around each other, as if they had returned to the time when they first met in the examination hall, appreciating each other without any mixed emotions.
Passionfruit pouted and followed behind them, feeling like an extra; neither of them had even glanced at her.
"I'm just being overly concerned. Hmph! Lin doesn't respect me at all like he does Teacher!"
Muttering under her breath, Passionfruit climbed aboard the aircraft with them.
...
It was a type of aircraft that was just a jet compared to an aircraft carrier. It was about the size of a helicopter, and the three of them sitting inside still had plenty of space.
Bai Quexin and the others' mission was simply to ensure Lin's safety, so they were already on their way back.
On the way back, they passed near a water column and saw a large number of teachers and students maintaining order, forcibly managing those adventurers as if they were criminals.
"Teacher Bai, what will happen to those people?"
Touching his chin, Lin asked tentatively.
"Oh? Those guys? They should be dismissed. Their belongings will probably be confiscated. This time the Four Major Academies are all taking action; they've caused such a big commotion that they will definitely be punished."
At this moment, Passionfruit finally found an opportunity to speak up and quickly added, "According to the principal, the higher-ups have long been dissatisfied with the chaos caused by adventurers. They're using this opportunity to crack down on them."
Lin smacked his lips, sighing for those innocent adventurers, while secretly feeling fortunate that he had found the box on his own; otherwise, these items would have been confiscated.
"Forget about them. Those guys have been up to something behind the scenes. They just don't want to deal with them. After this, they'll have to behave for a while!"
Bai Quexin stretched lazily and said to Lin Dao, "You should talk about what you've been up to during this time!"
"Well, that's a long story. It's all because the school didn't arrange any classes!"
Once this topic came up, Lin's chatterbox was opened.
"Hey, Lin, you need to watch your wording. What do you mean by no classes? Don't we have theory lessons?"
Amid Passionfruit's dissatisfied rebuttal, Lin began recounting what had happened since parting ways with Bai Quexin, sharing his experiences over the past month.
Of course, his words were a mix of truth and embellishment; it was enough for Bai Quexin to get the general idea.
Inside the aircraft, the three of them were noisy and lively as they reminisced about past stories, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
Outside the aircraft, high-ranking Enforcers were conducting arrests of the Hundred-Man Team and other organizations, preparing to crack down on the adventurer groups in Wuyuan Star.
Lin's training had reached a conclusion at this point, but Wuyuan Star was rife with undercurrents as new forces clashed with the old powers, beginning...
