I can travel to the past and the future

Chapter 116 Advancement to Second Tier (6700)

This was the first time Lin had taken the initiative to confide in him, and Qiao Yuan was somewhat surprised but also gratified.

It seems that the little fox is becoming more and more relaxed in front of him. Although he is still far from truly facing society, it is a good thing nonetheless.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning.

"Of course," Qiao Yuan said with a smile. "I'm willing to listen to whatever Lin says."

He tore open another individually wrapped plum and stuffed it into his mouth, then seriously poked his face with his hand.

Tu Shanlin, on the contrary, felt a little embarrassed. His face was flushed, and he squinted his golden eyes. After a moment of contemplation, he said softly with a hint of reminiscence, "Well, I did buy snacks before, but people talked about it, and even—they took pictures and posted them online, saying that the Tu Shan family's daughter liked to eat a certain brand of dried fish~"

"Sigh, it suddenly became popular online for no reason, which also boosted the brand's popularity and even the stock price of that snack company."

"I didn't dare to go to school for those few days."

"How scary~"

Tu Shanlin muttered to himself intermittently, a shadow appearing in his eyes.

Qiao Yuan understood. Considering Lin's status as the duke's daughter, it was true that eating something casually was equivalent to endorsing a product.

He ate another plum: "It's all my fault for reminding Lin of bad memories."

Tu Shanlin shook his head again: "It's alright, it feels easier to say it out loud. Anyway, they were all changed later, hehe. The butler told me back then."

"Ah ha," Qiao Yuan laughed sincerely.

He actually really enjoyed seeing Lin happy, even when she was sullen and lost in thought, she was still adorable.

"Oh right~"

The little fox lowered its voice: "I advanced to the second-tier Heavenly Fate Light Sequence Awakening yesterday!"

Qiao Yuan laughed and said, "Lin is awesome!"

"Hehe, I'll tell you when it grows a tail~"

"Okay." He remembered Lin mentioning it last week, and now that he's emphasizing it again, it's clear that he values ​​this matter very much, and it is indeed a big deal.

Before he knew it, Qiao Yuan saw Luca, Hutu and others walk into the classroom one after another, and he realized that the lunch break had gone by so quickly.

The little fox, who had been muttering to him just moments before, puffed up his cheeks a few times when he saw more classmates in the class. He quickly spat out the pit of the plum, carefully wrapped it in a paper bag, and licked his little lips.

A flicker of emotion crossed Qiao Yuan's eyes.

They are absolutely adorable.

Hu Tu walked over, looking energetic, and grinned mischievously at Qiao Yuan: "You little rascal, sneaking around like that."

Qiao Yuan rolled his eyes: "Yeah, next time I should just wake you up from your sleep."

"Haha, well," Hu Tu raised his hand and scratched his hair, "I have to say, I slept really well at noon today. It's definitely more comfortable to go back to the dorm at noon."

Qiao Yuan smiled, but his mind was focused on advancing to the second tier. He still had one more breakthrough to make, and if he waited a few days before entering the ruins area, he would need to buy a bottle of second-tier pioneer potion first.

He initially thought it would be a bit troublesome.

It's even slightly inappropriate.

If you want to maximize its potential, after breaking through to the limit in one breakthrough, drink a second-tier potion in the wreckage area to advance to the second-tier sublimation.

In this way, we can continue to break through.

The problem is that the need to upgrade everything within the wreckage area might become quite noticeable.

Although everyone was wearing black cloaks and their presence was concealed within the wreckage area, it wasn't a big problem.

But his eyes soon lit up!

"Oh no, if you drink it in the wreckage area, quite the opposite, you can exploit a bug, because the number of attempts will immediately refresh when you advance to the second tier."

"It will be increased to six times a day!"

"In this way, I can break through seven times in a row. Thinking about it that way, it's not bad."

Qiao Yuan murmured to himself, gradually developing new expectations for this breakthrough.

If everything goes smoothly, his rank will inevitably experience a one-time, rapid increase.

The afternoon class was relatively simple, continuing with medicine preparation, but for the top twenty students in the class, Ms. Daisy replaced their steel plates with rougher ones.

At this point, he also emphasized: "Successive repetitions are already easy for you. You can try injuring a larger area of ​​flesh and even bones."

"Your healing ointment has also been upgraded. It's an expensive medicine developed by the school called Star Feather Ointment. Even if you have a fracture, it can heal quickly without leaving any scars."

"The goal this time is to enable you to accurately adjust the appropriate number of medicines even when you are in excruciating pain from your arm injury, with a target of twenty consecutive doses."

"The rest of you don't need to be discouraged. As long as you work hard, you will all start to improve. It's only been a short time since the start of the semester, and you have plenty of time."

Daisy's voice is very inspiring.

The students in the class gradually started chattering, all looking at the new steel plate and the new medicine.

Several students who were knowledgeable about pharmacy immediately noticed the highlight and were quite amazed.

Hu Tu was the only one who looked worried: "Oh my god, this time they're going to break bones, that's going to hurt way too much!"

Qiao Yuan said, "Don't give it to me. This medicine is so good. It looks like a top-grade medicine. Only the medicine Lin gave me before could leave no trace."

"No way, hehe, of course I know it's good medicine, it just hurts! Did you say you could ask the teacher for another dose of anesthetic?"

"?" Qiao Yuan's lips twitched: "Disgraceful! Could you be any more shameful? You're actually afraid of pain."

He felt that Hutu was a bit abstract, actually wanting anesthetics, which he just couldn't bring himself to say.

"How can that be the same?" Hu Tu snorted. "I only have one hand, brother. My difficulty is twice as much as yours, okay? You guys can switch hands."

"That makes sense. Go ask them then."

Hu Tu was speechless for a moment: "No, no, it's really a bit embarrassing, oh dear."

Qiao Yuan smiled. He had just felt unmotivated, but now he was in high spirits. As long as he didn't get any scars, it was fine.

Now he was examining the steel plates that Ms. Daisy had redistributed; they were no longer just simple and rough, but more like sturdy and slightly raised armor.

The surface of the steel plate has a chrome-plated textured surface, which makes it harder and presents a dense diamond pattern, giving it an indestructible feel.

The Star Feather Cream is different; it looks pale yellow, is more delicate, and has a refreshing fragrance, as if it contains mint and other related ingredients.

only----

He had already gone to the afternoon session in the morning, but the upgraded version of the experiment did not appear.

Something feels off.

It was as if it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, added after I received their data from the Yaoguang class at noon.

His confidence stemmed from the fact that he treated everyone equally from the start of military training, and the requirements were lowered only because their rank was too low.

After that, in last week's Azure Nether Technique, even though Tu Shanlin maintained a huge gap, he did not treat it differently. But today, as the first day of the second week of school, the difficulty was suddenly increased.

I feel it's mostly related to him, right?

The school probably knows Tu Shanlin's true identity, but his meteoric rise is of a completely different nature, just like at noon.

The little fox clearly stood out from the crowd with a total of 379 times, a record of 379 consecutive times, but the students in the class were already used to Tu Shanlin.

It seems that no matter what records Tu Shanlin sets, no matter how terrifying they are, they all think it's normal, they all think it's reasonable, and they will fully recognize it. This is the true strength of the duke's daughter, and this is the demeanor of the new generation of the Tu Shan family.

Furthermore, on Friday of last week, when Tu Shanlin easily increased the range of the Azure Nether Technique to over 100 meters—

Everyone in the class, including him, had the misconception that no matter how hard they tried, they could never compare to Lin.

Because the gap is excessively large.

A genius who scores 90 points will strive to catch up with a genius who scores 100 points, generating a strong fighting spirit.

But what if a genius who scores 90 points is facing a genius who scores 1000 points?

Then there's no fighting spirit left, no thought of catching up, only despair.

This growth rate is especially significant, as it is only the beginning for Tu Shanlin.

They are indeed the offspring of God.

Like today's 100% record, to be honest, even if he could predict the future, it feels like it would be difficult for him to achieve it anytime soon; it's too exaggerated.

It's even more impossible for other geniuses.

In other words, since last week, none of the geniuses in the class have considered Lin as their target.

Because there's simply no comparison.

But it was clear that Charlie and the others in the class had completely made him their target.

Therefore, he not only took the lead by a wide margin, but also inspired the fighting spirit of the other geniuses in the class.

This is probably why Ms. Daisy specifically asked the top twenty students in the class to increase the difficulty this afternoon, Qiao Yuan pondered, and decisively used it as an anchor point to take a look at the past timeline.

There was no particular reason; I was just curious.

In an instant, the river of time surged before his eyes, then gradually stopped, revealing an office scene. The decor here was quite elegant, with a huge sandalwood desk, a steaming purple clay teapot on the left, and all the other teaware and a circulating water system.

It looks like an expensive, high-end tea table, subtly exuding an air of luxury.

Behind the tea table was a slightly overweight middle-aged man, who appeared to be balding, and was leisurely sipping a cup of Longjing tea.

Next to the floor-to-ceiling window on the left, there is a very high-end openwork pear wood bookshelf, which contains many books related to tea ceremony.

Based on his first impression, the teacher at the school seemed to really enjoy tea.

At that moment, Ms. Daisy walked in and smiled slightly at the middle-aged man drinking tea, saying, "Deputy Director Zhang, I would like to request an additional batch of Star Feather Cream."

"Oh, okay, wait a minute," Deputy Director Zhang, who was sipping tea, nodded, then asked with a puzzled look, "Wait a minute, Teacher Daisy, right? Currently, only the Galaxy Class can use Star Feather Ointment, right? It's not that I'm making things difficult for you, but the school has strict controls on these high-grade medicinal materials."

As if she had come prepared, Ms. Daisy tapped a few times on the office wall and pulled up the results of their morning Yaoguang Class: "According to the regulations, it is indeed impossible to apply, but look, the Yaoguang Class has already produced two geniuses who are no less than those in the Heavenly Palace."

"And I can guarantee that from 3rd to 10th place, there will be no fewer than three top talents this semester."

"They are currently inspired by the second-place student, Qiao Yuan. Based on our Galaxy University's experience over the past few centuries, this often inspires them to reach even greater potential and achieve higher levels in the competition."

Faced with Ms. Daisy's confidence, Deputy Director Zhang carefully reviewed the ranking details and couldn't help but stroke his chin: "Hmm, this Qiao Yuan is Yan Bao's younger brother from the Heavenly Palace Class, right?"

"That's right," Ms. Daisy nodded.

"Leaving aside the Duke's daughter, I actually informed you about the Qingming Technique last week. I didn't expect that Qiao Yuan from your class could take it a step further. He is indeed a talent and deserves to be commended."

"I understand what you mean. People like Charlie and Pei Yuze will unleash more potential through frequent competition with Qiao Yuan, achieving the effect of the strong becoming stronger. We can make an exception."

Deputy Director Zhang admired it more and more as he looked at it, but he still reluctantly said to Teacher Daisy, "It still needs to be submitted to the school for approval. You'll have to wait a while. I can't decide whether it will be approved in the end."

"I understand, thank you, Deputy Director Zhang."

"It's nothing, haha, it's all for the sake of our Galaxy University's promising students, it's what I should do." Deputy Director Zhang coughed and said, "Actually, my job is very leisurely. I usually just drink tea and admire flowers. I can't compare to you guys."

Qiao Yuan listened quietly from the side, only then realizing that this was the supplies department of the teaching affairs office.

I remember when school started, they were greeted by Deputy Director Wang, who had reached the sixth level of advancement.

He thought there was only one deputy director, but now another deputy director, Zhang, has appeared.

It now appears that the Academic Affairs Office of Galaxy University has many departments, each with a deputy director in charge of overall coordination.

No wonder Deputy Director Zhang is so free.

Qiao Yuan now looked at Teacher Daisy with a newfound respect in his eyes.

It turns out he only guessed half right.

It turns out that besides his ability to inspire those geniuses to become even better, there was also Ms. Daisy's proactive application and Deputy Director Zhang's approval.

As expected, the Galaxy Class is indeed the Galaxy Class; the gap is quite large. No wonder Charlie and the others were so desperate to get into the Galaxy Class back then.

However, there are only 75 spots available, and some of them are pre-selected.

He waited for a while, and took the opportunity to browse around the teaching affairs office. He found that Ms. Daisy had been approved and received the corresponding Star Feather Cream.

Almost 20 minutes have passed.

But to his surprise...

It seems that the original plan was to take 10 extra doses to treat those who developed more serious conditions such as fractures.

But Ms. Daisy raised it to 20!

The reasons given are quite unique.

"Indeed, only the top ten are in the lead; from thirteenth onwards, the gap between them becomes quite large."

"But I think the students in the class are all smart and hardworking. Some students may just have fallen behind temporarily, but they can often catch up later. I don't want to treat them too differently."

"I hope to let other students feel that even if they are still not as good as the top geniuses in the class, as long as they work a little harder, they can also get a higher level of treatment."

Professor Daisy said from the bottom of her heart, "The Milky Way is hot, and so is our Galaxy University."

This time, even Deputy Director Zhang agreed and endorsed the suggestion: "Well said, Ms. Daisy, this is a great proposal, I support it."

Qiao Yuan was even more surprised.

I remember when I first met Ms. Daisy, my only impression of her was her appearance.

She is indeed very beautiful and has a hot figure.

Unexpectedly, she is also extremely sensitive and can take care of students of different levels in the class in every way.

Being able to think from the students' perspective is truly commendable.

He grew to like Galaxy University more and more.

I even felt a sense of belonging; this is a good school that deserves to be taken seriously.

It's different from outside the city, and even different from the main city of Silvermoon, at least for now.

Although the top high school outside the city wasn't bad back then, to be honest, apart from the good homeroom teachers, the school was actually quite chaotic.

For example, Mr. Shen, who is addicted to gambling, is a notorious deadbeat at school, owing money to many teachers and even students, and the school doesn't care.

Many classes have students with gang affiliations, fights are common, and school bullying is commonplace.

After Ms. Daisy left with the medicine, he originally intended to leave as well, but then he suddenly noticed that Deputy Director Zhang's expression had become somewhat evasive.

It seems a phone call came in, but the other party hung up immediately.

Huh?

He seemed a little odd, not rushing to return to reality; there were still 8 minutes left.

It's rather unusual for someone like him, sitting in his own office, especially as the deputy director of the teaching affairs office, to be doing this.

He quickly moved closer and stood next to the other person.

The phone, which had just turned off, quickly received a new call.

This time he saw it clearly.

It's an encrypted call that doesn't display the number!

Qiao Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

He looked at Deputy Director Zhang, his left hand holding the phone trembled slightly twice, and then he hung up again.

Then he glanced suspiciously at the door twice, as if afraid of being discovered.

Finally, seemingly still feeling uneasy, Deputy Director Zhang got up, slowly walked to the door, and closed it.

It wasn't just closed, it was locked!

The more Qiao Yuan looked, the more he felt something was wrong.

What's wrong?

In addition to locking the door, Deputy Director Zhang also used voice control to change the color of the floor-to-ceiling windows, obscuring the outside view and turning it into a blue sky, white clouds, sea, and beach.

Qiao Yuan felt something was off. The other person was in his office, where he was alone, and he was completely wrapped up, with no airtight seal.

Soon, the phone rang again.

This time, Deputy Director Zhang's face revealed a mixture of disgust and fear.

Qiao Yuan frowned slightly, watching quietly as the other person finally came to the corner and answered the phone.

He was very close, almost pressing his ear against the other person's phone.

The office was quiet, so even though the voice on the other end of the phone was a little hoarse, it was still easy to hear.

"Oh dear, Deputy Director Zhang, it seems you've scared yourself so much that you've closed all the doors and windows again?"

"There's no need. I told you, our call will be perfectly safe."

Deputy Director Zhang seemed to have been pushed to the limit, his lips trembling as he rebuked, "I already said, don't call me while I'm working!"

"Oh, it seems Deputy Director Zhang is angry?"

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Deputy Director Zhang's brows furrowed deeply, his face full of worry.

"Hmph, I'll let it slide today. Same rules, same place at six tonight!"

"No way!" Deputy Director Zhang gritted his teeth angrily, "I've given you everything you wanted, and the matter is over. Are you really determined to harm me?"

"Looks like Deputy Director Zhang's gotten a bit grumpy after not seeing you for half a month, huh? Tsk tsk tsk," the hoarse man's voice on the other end of the phone grew increasingly sarcastic. "That's right, the matter is indeed over, but I need you here."

"I need you, so you come. It's that simple. Don't give me any more nonsense!"

"You! You're a madman!" Deputy Director Zhang's face showed deep regret.

"Zhang Yanchuan, I've been speaking to you nicely, don't push your luck. I'm keeping an eye on your son who's still in elementary school."

"You—you dare!!"

Deputy Director Zhang suddenly flew into a rage, gripping the phone so tightly that he created countless cracks in the glass frame.

"Of course I wouldn't dare, haha, Deputy Director Zhang. Just like before, you can simply step in, it's very simple. But if you insist on making things worse, I'm not afraid to make sure you're childless!"

The person on the other end of the phone offered both reassurance and threats, adopting an extremely tough attitude. In the end, without waiting for Deputy Director Zhang's reply, they hung up directly.

Qiao Yuan's expression was complicated as he prepared to leave.

This deputy director is at the fifth level of sublimation, so the person threatening him must be at a similar level, or even higher, which is difficult to handle.

Furthermore, since Deputy Director Zhang never reported the incident to the police or took any action, there must be something he could use against him.

I'd better not get involved.

Although Deputy Director Zhang is a good director.

However, he has always acted within his means, and the current situation has far exceeded that.

At the same time, Deputy Director Zhang, clutching his phone, muttered to himself, "That madman... sigh, these beasts from this land of desire should all be killed!"

"Old Zhang, Old Zhang, how did you end up like this? What are we going to do?!"

"!!"

Just as Qiao Yuan was about to go back, he suddenly felt a jolt in his mind and his ears perked up.

What? A land of desire?

That's cult!

What a pleasant surprise! I'm overjoyed!

He had already used the timeline three times this morning: once to go to land, twice to see the future, and now he had one last timeline left for today.

That's it!

There are 5 minutes left.

He didn't leave immediately, and listened to Deputy Director Zhang's monologue for a while longer.

"That godforsaken place again. I should have found Ember's friend sooner and captured him—"

"Let it go for today. He dared to threaten my son; we absolutely can't let this go any longer. But what if he has something on me? Sigh, I was so confused for a moment. I'll just have to take it one step at a time."

Qiao Yuan's thoughts became clearer.

After school in the evening, I would go to the teaching affairs office as soon as possible, secretly follow Deputy Director Zhang, or directly observe the other person's future.

He wasn't interested in anything else, but he was still eager to try his luck with cult members.

Whether it succeeds or not is another matter, but anyway, by evening the last timeline will be of little use.

Fortunately, we now have five timelines a day. If it were only four times in the past, we would have missed out on it very unfortunately.

Five minutes later, Qiao Yuan returned to reality and began his new challenge for the afternoon.

With the solid foundation I built in the morning, the practice went quite well, but it was definitely very painful.

Now, when he punches someone, the skin and flesh at their joints are torn open, and he grits his teeth in pain.

But the more it was like that, the more he liked it.

For minor skin injuries, there's no need for compound medicine; the injury must be severe enough to damage bones and tendons.

This is the real experiment!

Even if he decides to leave the timeline open until the evening to try his luck, he still thrives in his experiments.

Because Charlie and the others were also grimacing in pain.

Fortunately, this Star Feather Cream works wonderfully; it heals visibly quickly after application.

No wonder it requires school approval.

After several failures, he gradually grasped the pattern and began to continue his winning streak.

During this time, he could hear Tu Shanlin groaning in pain, and a few whimpering sounds.

He couldn't help but offer a few words of encouragement.

Encouraged, the little fox smiled and regained its enthusiasm.

Before you know it, it's time to leave school.

Qiao Yuan rubbed his hand, which had recovered, and felt really tired today.

But the results were good.

Successfully achieved 26 consecutive times.

This time, we ranked third.

Second is Charlie's 27 times, and first is still Tu Shanlin's 103 times.

Fourth is Pei Yuze's 25th time.

Fifth place is tied with Ye Yutang and Jin Yunxi at 24 times, both of which are good results.

Hutu also achieved 15 consecutive times.

But it is indeed very difficult.

The benefit is that my physical condition has improved somewhat.

Charlie, who had surpassed him today, kept smiling at him: "Hey Qiao Yuan, I finally won, hahaha, are you still up for it? Let's continue tomorrow!"

"Of course," Qiao Yuan nodded slightly.

After quickly wiping the blood off his hands, he left the classroom.

During this time, he told Hutu over the phone, "I have something to do today, I'm going home now."

"It's okay, I won't eat in the cafeteria either. I'll go pick up Qin Xue directly, haha."

"Alright," Qiao Yuan said, and quickly arrived near the teaching office using his flying backpack.

He even passed by Deputy Director Zhang's floor along the way; earlier that afternoon, he had already found out the floor and location of the other party.

At that moment, he watched as the other person carried a briefcase downstairs and walked towards the east gate.

That's great, it just so happens to be on my way.

After leaving the campus, seeing the other person getting ready to get on the bus, I took a quick look at the future.

As time flowed on, Qiao Yuan gradually arrived at a conference room with no windows on any side. The light was very dim, and the air was filled with a rotten stench.

After just a couple more sniffs, I felt my stomach churning and the stench made me nauseous.

[Having learned of the hiding place of the Hungry Wolf Zhu Xuan and gained absolute initiative, the Pioneer Elixir was digested more quickly, officially advancing to the first tier of Heavenly Destiny Pioneer [Breaking Limits]]

Upon entering, after informing the secret base, a message popped up on the panel that excited Qiao Yuan, making him beam with joy.

I'm incredibly lucky today.

He never imagined that a chance encounter with curiosity would lead him to clues about cult members through a timeline.

finally----

I can finally advance to the second tier!
