I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 486 Day 1 (16)

Before they entered the dream, Principal Liu and the Dean of Students each received a list of things they needed to do.

After looking at the list, Principal Liu felt that this task was quite simple, but the Dean of Students next to him immediately said, "You must be thinking that this task is quite simple right now."

"...Dean of Students, when did you become able to read minds?"

"I can tell what you're thinking just by looking at your expression. You're probably thinking about finishing up quickly so you can go out and farm. With such heavy snow today, I hope my precious grapes don't get crushed."

"Dean of Students, you've been spying on me all along!"

"Just a heads-up, underestimating Chen Yu's dreams can cause problems. Alright, let's go in."

Principal Liu nervously swallowed, glanced at the task list again, and finally noticed something amiss.

There are indeed few tasks.

The first rule is to obtain all the basic achievements, and the second rule is to find as many loopholes as possible.

However, the fewer the tasks, the heavier the tasks. On the surface, there may be two tasks, but it's hard to say how many there are inside.

Moreover, Chen Yu has a lot of dark history. Most of his dreams are indeed quite interesting, but some of them are truly torturous.

However, after seeing the line below, Principal Liu felt it wasn't entirely unacceptable.

The test offers a 20,000 yuan bonus, and those who complete it first will receive an additional bonus. It sounds pretty good.

Looking at the bonus, Principal Liu nodded and said, "President Chen is a very righteous person."

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Principal Liu also drifted into a dream, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself surrounded by peace.

Before you is a world made of blocks, but it doesn't feel monotonous or dull.

He is now on a huge island, surrounded by the sea, with no land in sight.

The brilliant sunlight fell on the island, and the swaying leaves shattered the sunlight into fragments, casting delicate shadows under the trees.

The water surface shimmered, and carp and grass carp frolicked in the water, while seaweed could be vaguely seen swaying with the waves.

It was very quiet all around, with only the sounds of wind, birdsong, and cicadas. Towering trees were everywhere, dotted with large brown and red mushrooms.

"It's so beautiful."

In reality, it was a world of ice and snow, but here it was quiet and peaceful. The stark contrast gave Principal Liu a long-lost sense of tranquility, which calmed his heart.

Walking on the grass, he could feel the fine grass rubbing against his trousers. Although he was only wearing underwear, he was free in this world where he was all alone.

If he could, he would even like to take off his underwear as well, to expose everything about himself to the world, just like his scalp, and let heaven and earth witness his most natural moment.

Then, he saw the headmaster, who was trying to take off his underwear, appear in front of him, and he saw an extremely disgusting sight.

After staring at the greasy, blocky man in front of him for a while, the man silently withdrew his hand and then said seriously, "Hello, I am Principal Liu."

"Dean of Students, there are only the two of us in the Communist Party. Who are you trying to fool!"

"Tch... But you were thinking of doing that just now, weren't you? With such a beautiful setting, isn't it only natural to want to indulge yourself a little?"

"...I don't deny that."

"Alright, let's pretend we didn't see what happened before. I'm going to go chop down trees and do my quest. Let's see who can finish the test first."

"Yes, Dean of Students."

After exchanging high-fives, Principal Liu took out his notebook and wrote down his first suggestion: "[I hope a screenshot function can be added.]" With this function, they could take a screenshot of what had just happened, giving the head of student affairs leverage over him.

In the future, if there are tasks that are difficult to refuse, I can hand them over to the other party, and then I will be safe.

Regretting his decision, he walked to the other side of the island and continued consulting the test manual.

The dream was titled "My Dream," and while the title doesn't reveal much, the content suggested it was a good dream.

Following the instructions in the manual, Principal Liu began his first step: cutting down trees.

After adjusting his dominant hand in the settings menu, he clenched his right fist and punched the willow tree in front of him repeatedly, producing a series of thuds.

With the sound of knocking, he saw cracks appearing on the willow tree in front of him.

As the cracks continued to widen, the willow tree in front of him finally snapped. The once massive log shrank to the size of a palm and fell to the ground, while the willow tree, having lost its support, floated in the air defying gravity, leaving Principal Liu silent for a long time.

Principal Liu opened the vulnerability submission tool and submitted the vulnerability. He quickly received a reply from Chen Yu: "[It's not a vulnerability, it's a feature.]"

"No way, Mr. Chen, this looks like there's something wrong with it."

But Mr. Chen is right. If he's wrong, then we should listen to Mr. Chen.

Since Mr. Chen said there was no problem, then it must be my problem.

After chopping down the trees, Principal Liu stopped after obtaining three logs, then opened the menu and began crafting items.

The area you can craft by hand is two squares in length and width. Crafting a workbench can expand the crafting area to three squares in length and width. In the mid-game, there is a chance to find a workbench that is five squares in length and width when exploring other places, which will greatly increase the number of items you can craft.

Following the recipe, Principal Liu combined one log into four pieces of wood, and then combined the four pieces of wood into a crafting table. Once the crafting table was placed on the ground, the crafting table achievement was complete.

The overall progress was simpler than expected, which gave Principal Liu a feeling that it was nothing special.

Just as he was about to continue, he realized that it was getting dark.

Standing on high ground, Principal Liu watched the sunset slowly descend on the other side of the sea, eventually sinking into the ocean. A square moon rose from the other side, filling the sky with stars.

Then, the Milky Way appeared, a sight almost impossible to see in reality, making Principal Liu feel once again how beautiful this place was.

I, Principal Liu, am also an artistic youth, aren't I?

With his knees drawn up to his chest, Principal Liu sat down on the grass, ready to enjoy the scenery and appreciate the beauty of the place.

However, not long after, a scream shattered the tranquility of the place.

Helplessly, he stood up, about to say something, when he heard a series of hissing sounds. Then, a violent explosion rang out, completely drowning out the headmaster's screams.

Looking in horror at the location of the explosion, Principal Liu anxiously called out, "Dean of Students, are you alright?"

It was unusually quiet on the other side; there wasn't a sound at all.

"Dean of Students, please stop joking around. What's wrong with you?"

"Hiss..."

A hissing sound like a venomous snake rang out, causing Principal Liu to instinctively turn around. He then saw a green object silently approaching him and beginning to flash.

Upon seeing that thing, Principal Liu instinctively realized that he was doomed.

　We'll continue in the afternoon, starting at midnight.
