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

Jiang Fan vaguely remembered the short-haired girl who was speaking; it was she who had been by Ding Rui's side yesterday and had offered a crucial piece of advice.

"I have a resource card that acts as a VPN, but I don't know if it's long enough," Li Chuxue said, handing a card to Jiang Fan with both hands. "If you hadn't given us so much meat yesterday, I wouldn't have enough points for the lottery. Here, take this."

Jiang Fan did not refuse, and after taking the card, he tried it out briefly.

A ladder about 3 meters long appeared on the roof.

"Unfortunately, it's not long enough." Nangong Yue frowned. "It's about four or five meters from here to the ground floor, and about two meters wide to the shore. If there were a ladder, it would be better. Maybe if we put the two together, it would be long enough."

"Okay, let's get something to eat first, and then see if anyone gets a second ladder after everyone gets up."

Finally, Jiang Fan made the final decision.

Although he ate a lot of meat yesterday, he is still starving.

Clearly, the Heavenly Cloud Vine has an astonishing appetite.

However, there were also some benefits. Last night before going to bed, he secretly let the Heavenly Cloud Vine out of the window and extended it into the water downstairs.

I didn't feel thirsty at all all night.

With this thing around, the side effects of the water-repellent beads are negligible.

Soon, the aroma of food wafted up from the rooftop again.

Many people get up early because they don't want the food they worked so hard for yesterday to go bad, and they want to eat another meal as soon as possible.

Once the food in the pot was cooked, almost all the people who hadn't gotten up before were woken up and brought upstairs.

Unfortunately, no second ladder card appeared.

"This won't do! If we can't explore the rainforest, we'll definitely fall behind the others in points."

"Yeah, Jiang Fan should be ranked number 1 in points in our building, right? He's only ranked 11th in the area. This can't go on."

"Not only that, I stayed up late last night. When the leaderboard first appeared, I saw Jiang Fan was ranked 9th. I don't know what those people did to get such high scores!"

His words resonated with many people. Jiang Fan's actions were evident to all, yet he only ranked 9th in the region. It was hard to imagine what amazing things those with higher scores had done.

"Do you think it's possible that not all the dormitories were flooded?" Chen Ke suddenly asked.

Everyone was taken aback at first, but then gasped in astonishment.

"Very likely!"

Many people had preconceived notions, assuming that other dormitories were in the same situation as theirs, all submerged and unable to get ashore.

But upon closer examination, the reality may not be so.

After all, the university they attend is a comprehensive institution with a considerable area.

In their newly built western campus alone, there are four dormitory buildings, two for girls and one for boys, as well as the mixed-gender dormitory where they are located.

In addition, the school also has a dormitory area on the west side of the East Campus, a faculty and staff dormitory area on the east side, and an international student dormitory area on the north side.

"I don't think that's the reason. Look, isn't Tang Qingyu, who's ranked 3rd in the region, one of our freshmen? She lives in the dorm next door, and I saw that her dorm was flooded yesterday too."

Tang Qingyu is quite famous among the freshmen and has been hailed by some as the most beautiful campus belle of the freshmen.

Of course, many people disagree, believing that Nangong Yue is more beautiful.

This incident sparked heated online debates even before the start of the school term.

"Just because her dormitory building was flooded doesn't mean everyone's was flooded. I still think some of the dormitory buildings in the East District are probably fine."

"That's exactly what I'm saying. I feel this is unfair. Why are others fine while we have such a hard time living here?"

While everyone was discussing, Jiang Fan was not idle; he was eating meat in large mouthfuls, trying his best to feed Tianyun Teng.

There is no absolute fairness in reality. Instead of complaining, it's better to strive to improve yourself.

Pessimists are always right, but only optimists can keep moving forward.

Lin Feng's serious illness put him under considerable pressure. In addition to his own share, he also had to find a way to obtain more survival supplies for his good brother.

"ah--"

As the last mouthful of hot soup entered his mouth, Jiang Fan let out a comfortable moan.

Seeing that he had finished eating, Nangong Yue, Ding Hang, and the others turned their attention to him.

They had been waiting for Jiang Fan to make a decision.

"Let's try the empty room on the third floor; a three-meter ladder should be long enough."

"Yeah, how come I didn't think of that!" Ding Hang slapped his bald head.

Their previous mindset led them to focus on how to get from the rooftop to the other side.

I forgot that you can also go directly through the window of the third-floor room.

In this way, the vertical distance from the shore was shortened from about five meters to about one meter, and the required length of the ladder also decreased sharply.

The group arrived on the third floor and, following Jiang Fan's instructions, first dismantled several wooden cabinet doors and threw them into the water to prevent anything from suddenly jumping out and threatening the people who were climbing the ladder.

Then, strips of cloth were used to secure many wooden planks removed from empty beds to the ladder. Finally, the ladder was wrapped tightly with a blanket to increase friction when stepping on it.

"Help me hold the ladder steady, I'll go take a look first," Ding Hang volunteered.

"I'll go first, you go second." Jiang Fan grabbed Ding Hang and was the first to climb out of the window.

When he was throwing the wooden cabinet door underwater, he heard a lot of splashing sounds as it went in, leading him to suspect that there were many caimans living on the shore.

Therefore, not wanting others to explore the way, he decided to do it himself.

"Be careful." Nangong Yue didn't object, but simply handed Jiang Fan a wooden mop handle.

At the same time, she slipped another card into Jiang Fan's hand.

[White Skill Card - Gun Weapon Mastery +1]

Jiang Fan found it somewhat amusing. Did Sister Yue think that this mop handle could be considered a spear?

But after the initial amusement, he was also somewhat moved.

In the current environment, having a skill means having a greater chance of survival.

The other party didn't use the card themselves immediately after receiving it; instead, they kept it for themselves.

That alone is already remarkable.

With a flash of light, the card transformed into spiritual light and entered Jiang Fan's body.

He found that the wooden stick in his hand seemed to have become much lighter and more agile, and his control over it had suddenly become much stronger.

"This thing is really amazing," Jiang Fan exclaimed.

Holding a wooden stick, he climbed the ladder and slowly walked towards the other side.

He walked slowly, constantly alert to any potential dangers underwater.

The occasional splashing sound from the water kept tugging at his tense nerves.

The Heavenly Cloud Vine had already transformed into inner armor, protecting him beneath his clothes.

Suddenly, a whooshing sound rang out in front of them.

Jiang Fan vaguely sensed that a dark shadow was rushing towards him.

He didn't expect the crisis to come from underwater, but from the air.

Goosebumps quickly rose on his skin, and fear of the unknown spread throughout his body. Without thinking, Jiang Fan grabbed the wooden stick and chopped down with all his might.

Just then, a familiar voice rang out: "Don't hit me, it's me, the cat, back."

Jiang Fan was startled, recognizing the voice of the tabby cat that had been missing since early morning, and quickly withdrew his strength.

Fortunately, he had used the card earlier, which greatly increased his control over the wooden stick in his hand; otherwise, he would have had a hard time controlling his strength in the current situation.

Before he could relax, the tabby cat he had just caught meowed again: "Run! Another big one is coming!"
