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

Even with Jiang Fan's powerful physique as a level 2 spirit body, carrying a wild boar weighing at least a thousand pounds back would be a huge drain on his stamina.

But he felt that this hardship was worth it.

Not to mention that this thing has a lot more oil on its body than leopards and crocodiles, which can replenish the energy needed by the human body in many ways.

The fact that it can produce crystal cores and just contributed a large amount of spiritual energy to Jiang Fan is enough to show that its grade is much higher than that of other exotic beasts.

Its nutritional value would naturally be raised several notches.

Along the way, other strange beasts were occasionally attracted by the smell of blood, and Jiang Fan accepted them all without hesitation.

However, he also discovered that after breaking through to level 2, the efficiency of acquiring psionic energy was weakened again by the system.

The difficulty of achieving a breakthrough has increased several times over.

After all, the total amount of spiritual energy required to break through to level 3 has already doubled from 200 to 400.

According to his estimation, even if he continued hunting strange beasts non-stop today, it would be difficult to quickly reach the level 3 spirit body.

Unless they continue their adventures deeper into the rainforest in search of a more powerful target.

However, this could potentially affect nighttime operations due to injury.

Therefore, after weighing the options, he chose to go back and rest first, and then find a way to help Lin Feng and the others break through to the spiritual body as soon as possible.

Jiang Fan guessed that all the major forces were probably busy helping people break through to the Spirit Body stage. Xinghuo couldn't fall too far behind in this regard, otherwise Lin Feng and the others would be severely lacking in self-protection when the operation started tonight.

It was already around 2 PM. Instead of going straight back to the dormitory area, Jiang Fan found Lin Feng and the others based on the markings the tabby cat had made on the squirrel and Nangong Yue's shadowy creature.

When he arrived nearby, he really startled the group.

I thought it was a terrifying wild boar that had run out from deep within.

They only came to their senses when they saw Jiang Fan beneath the giant creature.

Their clothes were disheveled and mostly stained with blood, indicating that they hadn't been idle for most of the day, but had been diligently hunting strange beasts to obtain spiritual energy.

"Holy crap!!! Brother Fan, are you Superman? You killed him yourself?" Ji Ran was the first to react, shouting excitedly, "We were just talking about how you surpassed Tang Qingyu on the leaderboard and reached second place!"

Ding Hang excitedly touched the wild boar's tusks, wondering if he could use them to forge a weapon.

Unlike the others who reacted so strongly, Lin Feng secretly approached Jiang Fan and winked at him, "How's it going? How's that big gun I gave you?"

Jiang Fan smiled and nodded slightly.

The weapon was far more useful than he had expected.

Nangong Yue, with her long, flowing black hair, stood gracefully, looking Jiang Fan up and down as if to make sure he wasn't injured.

Although Zheng Xiuyuan, Zhao Yi, and Jiang Xu didn't say much, it was easy to tell from the astonished expressions on their faces that they were not at peace.

"Let's go home for dinner!" Jiang Fan called out. "We'll talk about your breakthrough to the Spirit Body this afternoon. I'll take you guys flying!"

"Yay!" Ji Ran cheered first. "I've been waiting for Brother Fan to carry me! Hahaha..."

"Fanzi's awesome!" Lin Feng could hear the joy in Jiang Fan's tone, so he leaned closer and whispered, "Did you break through to level 2? Is that why you're so smug?"

"Haha, there's even better news, I'll tell you later." Jiang Fan was indeed happy. With a level 2 spirit body and the added strength of a steel gun, along with the protection and support of the Heavenly Cloud Vine, he had mastered level 6 gun weapons.

He was confident that even if he were to encounter Li Qingfeng at this moment, he might still be able to put up a fight.

Therefore, the tension that had been building since the time travel suddenly eased, and I was naturally very happy.

Not to mention that he caused heavy losses to his two major enemies, the Honglu Society and the Jianghu, and he also had many newly acquired cards and unused living tree sap in his bag.

Everything is moving in a better direction.

When the group returned to the vicinity of the dormitory area, each carrying their prey, they discovered that the area had changed considerably since that morning.

First of all, the open space under Building 3 has expanded by at least four or five times.

All the big trees were cut down, and piles of timber were stacked on the ground.

The grass and vegetation were all cleared away, revealing bare ground.

Almost everyone coming and going in the vicinity was busy; no one was idle.

Ding Rui seems to have designated an area and is building more barricades and fences to protect the area below and prevent attacks from wild animals.

Upon seeing Jiang Fan and the others return, everyone nearby stared in disbelief.

It's simply because the visual impact of Jiang Fan carrying a prey weighing over a thousand pounds all by himself is too shocking!

Even the ground he stepped on had considerable depressions.

Upon reaching the vicinity of the fence, Jiang Fan decided not to go any further. To avoid damaging the "public infrastructure," he simply left the wild boar next to the fence gate.

Ding Rui will naturally organize people to handle it later, which saves him a lot of trouble.

In fact, Jiang Fan was also a little curious about how Ding Rui made empty promises to those people below her.

It's one thing to use vague contribution points to make people work, but they've even collected quite a few valuable cards.

Moreover, since Ding Rui took over the management, messages about Jiang Fan's gratitude system have been flooding the screen almost non-stop.

In just over half a day, the gratitude value skyrocketed from 7611 points after the banquet yesterday afternoon to 13226 points.

This group of people are like corporate slaves who have finally found jobs. They work hard for their bosses like beasts of burden while also being grateful for the jobs the bosses provide.

Jiang Fan pondered that if things continued at this pace, even without his deliberate efforts, he could open the purple blind box in about a week.

Ding Rui arrived quickly with her men, and when she saw the prey that Jiang Fan had brought back, her beautiful eyes lit up with admiration.

She even moved closer to Jiang Fan, taking the initiative to straighten the wrinkles in his clothes, and kept asking if he was injured, if he was tired, and what he wanted to eat, saying she would have someone make it for him.

She acted like a submissive wife.

Chen Ke, who hadn't gone hunting and had just come to Nangong Yue's side, rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath, "Look at that vixen! Who is she trying to impress with all that fancy clothes?! Pah!"

"That Jiang Fan is heartless! She just flirted with him and he's completely bewitched! It's infuriating! Yueyue, aren't you going to do something about him?!"

When Jiang Fan learned that Ding Rui's extensive construction of barricades and fences was in preparation for any unforeseen circumstances that might arise after the second mutation of wild animals the next day, he couldn't help but nod in approval.

He had a premonition that, despite the current harsh environment and the daily deaths caused by various circumstances, the total number of people on the leaderboard was decreasing again and again.

But overall, it's not that survival is impossible; rather, it's more like giving people a process of adaptation.

It's like the feeling you get in a beginner's village when playing a game.

The continuous unlocking of various systems and the daily reward settlement on the leaderboards all seem to be intentionally guiding them to become stronger and adapt to the environment.

The unseen force seemed to have its own purpose, and it was by no means as simple as "relocating" a group of people to a new environment and watching them fend for themselves.

If his guess comes true, then the living environment will likely become increasingly difficult in the future.

Therefore, it becomes essential to plan ahead and make preparations in advance of environmental changes.

After a brief conversation with Ding Rui, he went to Nangong Yue and Chen Ke.

The latter turned away irritably, giving Jiang Fan a cold look.

In fact, Jiang Fan had noticed that she was in a bad mood when he was having lunch with a few people that morning, but he just hadn't had time to deal with it.

He smiled and, to Chen Ke's surprise, reached out to tidy Nangong Yue's hair.
