The entire school embarks on a survival journey, starting from a primeval rainforest.

"Don't misunderstand, I meant that you own an apartment building at such a young age..." Lin Feng said.

But seeing the lewd smile on his face, Jiang Fan knew that this kid definitely wasn't thinking about that.

"You son of a bitch, how did you find out?!"

"Hehe... I had just finished showering and saw it when I came out of the meat drying room." Lin Feng, seeing that Jiang Fan had guessed, no longer tried to hide it. "You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, you really know how to have fun!"

Jiang Fan remained silent. He knew that if this matter fell into the eyes of Lin Feng or Nangong Yue, they would probably think that he was secretly in charge of everything.

That's why I felt so scared yet excited at the time.

At the same time, this was the first time he felt that the enhancement of eyesight by the spirit body was not a good thing.

"Would you believe me if I said it was her initiative and had nothing to do with me?" Jiang Fan said helplessly.

Sure enough, Lin Feng just kept nodding after hearing this: "I believe you, I believe you. She took off my pants on her own and climbed up to me. The whole thing has nothing to do with me... Is there anything else you want to say? If not, this case is closed."

His tone suggested that Jiang Fan had been arrested for committing a crime.

Jiang Fan wanted to hit someone, but he also had a familiar feeling about him.

In a teenage boys' dormitory, the topics of conversation after lights out can cover a wide range of subjects, including politics, economics, history, society, people's livelihood, military affairs, astronomy, geography, and more.

But there's one thing that's bound to be mentioned frequently: the girls in the class.

The current situation gave him a feeling of returning to before he transmigrated, as if he had seen it before.

Seeing that Jiang Fan didn't continue explaining, Lin Feng asked with some envy, "How did you manage to get Ding Rui to agree to do this in front of Nangong Yue? Teach me, will you...?"

"Damn it! I already said it was her who initiated it!" Jiang Fan's fist hardened again, and he really wanted to hit someone.

Seeing that Jiang Fan's expression didn't seem fake, Lin Feng began to believe him a little, but still couldn't help teasing him: "I envy neither mandarin ducks nor immortals, but I envy President Jiang every day."

Then he humbly asked for advice: "Fanzi, didn't you say you'd never been in a relationship before? How did you manage to juggle Nangong Yue and Ding Rui so easily? Teach me..."

Jiang Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes, recalling the survey his "ladies' man" roommate had conducted when he first entered university.

Aside from himself, Lin Feng and the other two all said they had dated more than one or two people.

The "ladies' man" even claimed to have dated more than a dozen women, which immediately amazed Raymond Lam and his other roommate.

"Didn't you say you've dated several people? Why are you asking me such a simple question?" Jiang Fan laughed.

Lin Feng scratched his head sheepishly, looking miserable. "I was just bragging. High schools are so strict. Even if I had the desire, I wouldn't have the time!"

Jiang Fan smiled. Of course, he knew that the three of them had all been boasting to some extent back then.

However, after listening to some lengthy speeches by "love gurus," I found that they corroborated what I had read in books. Clearly, what these "love gurus" said was not entirely fabricated; it had some factual basis.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Fan said, "It's not that I'm adept at navigating between the two of us, but rather that Ding Rui is a woman who is extremely power-hungry. For her, the situation just now was merely a means to use her gender advantage to get closer to me."

It's not what you think!

"No way?!" Lin Feng exclaimed in surprise. He found it hard to believe that Ding Rui would go to such lengths for power. "You mean, she's not doing this because she likes you?"

"That's not entirely true," Jiang Fan shook his head. "To be more precise, for someone like her, whether she likes someone or not is not important. Compared to gaining power, sacrificing love or her body is insignificant to her."

So for her, it doesn't matter whether she likes it or not.

It could even be said that anyone who can bring her power and status is someone she likes.

Lin Feng was completely shocked. He never imagined that a freshman girl could be so realistic.

At the same time, he found it incredible that Jiang Fan viewed the matter so rationally.

Normally, which cadre could withstand this kind of test?

If he were in Jiang Fan's position, he would probably have been daydreaming about how to seize power and enjoy the company of beautiful women.

"So what are you going to do with the two of them?" Raymond Lam couldn't help but ask again, making a classic gesture reminiscent of Ao Bai from a Stephen Chow movie.

"You're dreaming!" Jiang Fan couldn't help but retort, "Only children want it all; even adults know they can't handle it all."

"No! No, no, no..." Lin Feng corrected, "Only children make choices. Adults know they should have it all! Are you no good? What a waste of your level 2 spirit body."

"What the hell are you talking about, you son of a bitch? You want a beating, don't you?!" Jiang Fan glared, wishing he could slap Lin Feng to death. "I wasn't saying he couldn't handle it in that area, I'm saying that juggling two people inevitably requires a lot of time and energy to maintain the relationship. In this situation, where do I find that much time?"

In the distance, the alien races outside the living tree area were still watching with predatory eyes, ready to attack at any moment.

Nearby, after the leaderboard was settled at 12 o'clock, the occasional roars of beasts coming from outside the dormitory building were noticeably stronger.

On the East Campus side, they still need to develop their own influence, and their cooperation with Tang Qingyu and others is only temporary; they are not a united front.

The lake where Lei Lang died was a place he visited yesterday when he led everyone to break through to the next level of spiritual existence, but he hadn't had a chance to explore it yet because the tabby cat warned him that there was danger underwater.

He's a normal college freshman who hasn't experienced much romantic love. How could he not have any feelings for the pretty girls around him?

But there are so many things waiting for me to do right now, it's impossible for me to focus my main energy on this.

After Jiang Fan's simple explanation, Lin Feng finally understood his good brother's intentions. It wasn't that he didn't have the desire to steal, but rather that he lacked the energy of a "time management master."

Next, the two opened up to each other and talked about many things.

Raymond Lam admitted that in the past few days, quite a few girls have secretly sent him love letters, or even confessed their feelings to him privately.

Jiang Fan was surprised. Why didn't he have it?

But he quickly realized that whether it was Nangong Yue or Tang Qingyu, who frequently appeared around him, they were among the most attractive students in the entire school. Ordinary girls wouldn't dare to even get close to them.

What's more, there's also Ding Rui, who dresses maturely and has a domineering and assertive personality in front of outsiders, who is also eyeing the situation covetously.

Although she is not as famous as Tang Qingyu and Nangong Yue, that is mainly due to her personal style of dress.

After all, boys at this stage are more likely to be attracted to girls with a pure and innocent style, while they are more likely to keep their distance from relatively mature girls like Ding Rui.

Later, Raymond Lam frankly admitted that he didn't have any feelings for the girls who wrote him love letters or confessed their love, but he did have some affection for Li Luojia.

Jiang Fan was surprised, as he didn't recall the two having much interaction.

"I just love her gentle and delicate appearance; it makes you want to protect and cherish her..." Lin Feng said.

He blushed slightly when talking about these things, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Jiang Fan nodded, instantly understanding his thoughts.

For many naive and somewhat chauvinistic men, petite and delicate women are indeed very attractive.

But Jiang Fan was different from him; girls like Li Luojia were of little use to him.

Yes, it's about "function"!

Rather than attraction or anything else.

Since his transmigration, all the decisions he has made—from diving into the water to retrieve the key, rescuing Ding Hang, leading his men to kill the python, to his later interactions with Nangong Yue, Tang Qingyu, and Ding Rui, and even his attempts to incite conflict between the Honglu Society and the martial arts world—have all had only one purpose.

Survive!

If there's any other purpose, it's to live a better life.

Or, if possible, also help your friends and partners live a better life.

In essence, he felt that he was not much different from Cao Bin and Feng Peter; they were all extreme egoists.

However, unlike Cao Bin's selfishness, tyranny, and twisted personality, and Feng Peter's selfishness, restraint, and relative rationality, Jiang Fan's selfishness is more focused on long-term gains.

That's why he's more willing to invest in the people around him, hoping to reap longer-term benefits.

The two chatted until around 2 a.m. before going to sleep.

The next morning at five o'clock, I had to get up again.

Ding Rui's management of the homestead did greatly increase its utilization efficiency, but it also completely destroyed the couple's private space.

You can't expect everyone else to be busy hammering away and working while you're still fast asleep, can you?

Fortunately, the emergence of apartment buildings has perfectly solved this problem.

When the two men, dressed neatly, emerged from the meat drying room, a crowd had already gathered downstairs at the apartment building, discussing the matter animatedly.

"Wow, that's amazing! I thought I'd be living in a building like a meat drying room..." one of the girls exclaimed in surprise.

"Have you noticed? It seems like it's much higher up here than yesterday!" someone exclaimed in surprise, having discovered the anomaly in their home.

"And what's with that market area? It's just a tiny building; it doesn't look like a market at all. I tried to go in, but it said I didn't have enough access!"

"And that thing that looks like an array, I wonder what it's for. Jiang Fan is amazing, this place is changing every day!"

Some people were busy discussing it, but many more were busy moving.

Ding Rui was very efficient. She had already prepared a table for all 24 rooms on the four floors downstairs by evening and assigned them to the girls who had informed her in advance that they wanted to be permanent residents.

Therefore, people started moving things here early in the morning.

As for the upper two floors, they will be reserved for Jiang Fan for now, depending on his arrangements. If there are any rooms available, she will bring in more people.

After briefly checking the situation outside, Jiang Fan and Lin Feng joined the rest of the group, packing their belongings and moving them up to the apartment building.

Fortunately, Jiang Fan and Lin Feng had broken through to the Spirit Body stage and were physically strong; otherwise, just carrying things back and forth to the 6th floor would have exhausted them.

However, since the first batch of residents who moved into the community were all girls, they were not strong enough. After the two of them moved their own beds, they had to start helping others move their beds. In the end, Jiang Fan simply called Ding Hang and others to help with the hard labor.

It took the group more than two hours to finally finish moving all the items.

This was even after Ding Rui had "hired" quite a few men working at the community center to help her.

Even so, everyone was already exhausted and starving.

This is the drawback of the spirit body: the body is indeed greatly enhanced, but it also consumes a great deal of energy, and food must be replenished after exercise to recover quickly.

To some extent, it also follows the law of conservation of energy, unlike those cultivation novels where one can maintain their life by eating dew and drinking nectar.

Around 9 a.m., after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Ding Hang, Lin Feng, and the others began to rub their hands together, preparing to go hunting in the rainforest.

Jiang Fan then took Chen Qingquan and Chen Ke with him to the East Campus.

There, a meeting that would determine the future of the entire school awaited him.
