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

[Level 2 Permission Unlocked: Can bind 1 additional Deputy Homestead Owner]

[Homestead height increased by 1 meter]

[One teleportation portal can be set up within a 5-meter radius of your home each day. The portal will automatically disappear at 24:00 every day.]

[Obtain a Homestead-specific building card: Level 1 Interconnected Market]

The privileges of a Level 2 Homestead are far more generous than Jiang Fan and the others had previously guessed, that they could bind an additional Deputy Homestead Owner!

There were even three extra rewards.

In particular, the last building card for the interconnected market was an unprecedented purple card, which greatly exceeded Jiang Fan's expectations.

It's worth noting that, currently, apart from his cheat-like abilities, there isn't even a publicly known way to obtain the pink cards.

Even with his unique gratitude value system, it would still take him a day or two to obtain his first purple card, but unexpectedly, he obtained a purple building card through his level 2 homestead.

[Purple Building Card - Level 1 Interconnected Market]

[Note: This card is non-transferable, non-tradeable, and will not be lost upon death.]

Jiang Fan pondered, a look of surprise in his eyes.

The terms "non-transferable" and "non-tradeable" are easy to understand. In other words, whoever obtains this card through a level 2 homestead can only use it and cannot give it away or trade it to others.

But the phrase "death cannot be dropped" is rather intriguing.

All the cards currently available, whether they are skill cards, home-related cards, or pet cards, will disappear once the owner dies; they will not be left behind.

Only unused cards become someone else's loot.

Jiang Fan had already verified this, and it was a consensus among many people; it wasn't a big secret.

Just like how Li Wenzhou, the deputy head of the community, completely disappeared from the top ten rankings of the community after Cao Bin's death.

Clearly, Cao Bin's home had collapsed and was not inherited by Li Wenzhou.

This was something that Jiang Fan had been prompted about by the system when he first acquired his homestead.

But since all cards currently share the characteristic of "not being dropped upon death," why should this home-exclusive card specifically emphasize this commonality again?

unless!

There is one type, or a few types, of cards that have the characteristic of "dropping upon death"!

Thinking of this, Jiang Fan felt a chill run down his spine.

He had thought before that the used cards would not be obtained by others after the owner's death, which was a protection for their group.

Conversely, this characteristic of "death drop" is a means that drives humans to compete with and kill each other.

As a result, it is very likely that one day in the future, many people will die fighting for a card with the "death drop" property.

These thoughts flashed through his mind. Jiang Fan glanced at the time and confirmed that there were still more than 10 minutes until midnight. He decided to try the teleportation channel that would automatically destroy itself at the designated time.

[Insufficient space. Please select a 5m x 5m open area to establish the teleportation tunnel.]

Upon seeing this message, Jiang Fan took out the stack of cards that Li Wenzhou had "offered" from his pocket, crushed a white expansion card, and then placed the teleportation channel in place.

He was then prompted to place the other end of the teleportation portal in an area 5 meters away from his home.

In other words, the "nearby 5 meters" is calculated based on the area surrounding his dormitory room, not on the location of the teleportation channel.

Otherwise, this teleportation channel would only be able to travel back and forth within his home.

Jiang Fan arrived at an area in front of the dormitory building.

Place the other end of the teleportation channel.

A gate, 4 meters wide and 3 meters high, appeared in the room, shimmering with a faint blue light.

A faint light flickered, and Lin Feng, who had been waiting on the other side, was the first to emerge from the door. Soon after, Ding Hang and the others also appeared from inside the door.

"Amazing! Spatial power has even appeared!" Lin Feng exclaimed with some emotion. "This is awesome! I've always found that little window an eyesore; I had to bend over every time I went in or out!"

Ding Hang chimed in, "That's right! If it weren't for the worry that large wild animals might suddenly enter the dormitory building at night, I would have broken the windows a bit more to make it easier for everyone to come and go."

"Tch! You bunch of noobs!" The chubby Ji Ran scoffed arrogantly. "I can jump off rooftops now, it's cool and I don't have to bend over!"

"Not everyone is as flamboyant as you." Chen Qingquan pushed up his glasses, and after criticizing Ji Ran, he continued, "With this teleportation channel, the development efficiency of Fan Ge's home will increase by at least 10% to 20%."

Putting aside the time it takes to enter the building from here and walk through the corridor, the height restriction of that window alone forces everyone to bend over carefully and walk slowly when entering and exiting, which greatly affects work efficiency.

Although the straight-line distance from here to Fan Ge's dormitory is only 5 meters, the distance saved is equivalent to at least 20 to 30 meters, which is quite convenient.

However, security is a concern. This teleportation channel is bidirectional and doesn't seem to restrict the identity of those entering, so users should be wary of enemies or wild animals attempting to sabotage it.

Jiang Fan nodded: "That's a good analysis, but we'll talk about that later. You guys move these goods in first. I still have some things to take care of before 12 o'clock."

Returning to his homestead via the teleportation portal, Jiang Fan found Nangong Yue busy in the kitchen. Time was of the essence, so he cut to the chase: "Sister Yue, my homestead is now level 2. Would you like to bind another deputy homestead owner?"

"Are you sure?" Nangong Yue smoothed her hair, stood up from the stove, and looked at him with a half-smile.

This kitchen is in an ancient style, with eight rural-style stoves in a room of 100 square meters.

There is wood burning under three of the stoves, and some food is stewing in the pots.

Facing Nangong Yue's slightly questioning gaze, Jiang Fan nodded without batting an eye: "Of course, you should know my feelings."

Although the two never explicitly said anything, there was indeed a feeling between them that went beyond ordinary friendship.

Although he felt it would be better for the deputy head of the family to be paired with Ding Rui, he also had to take Nangong Yue's feelings into account.

After all, he was able to get to where he is today thanks to Nangong Yue's support back then.

"I've thought about this seriously before. Xiaorui is more suitable for this position than I am, and she's currently in charge of logistics. With the relevant authority, she can better..."

While Nangong Yue was still talking, Jiang Fan had already sent her a binding invitation: "But I want you to be my deputy homestead owner. The rewards will be settled in just over two minutes, so please agree quickly."

Nangong Yue's usually calm face finally broke into an irrepressible, bright smile, but she still refused Jiang Fan: "Alright, alright, I believe you, okay? You're such a rascal, you have too many thoughts on your mind, I have no idea which of your words are true and which are false."

While complaining, she forcefully pushed Jiang Fan out of the kitchen: "Chen Ke and I have both made it into the top fifty. You should hurry up and bind Xiao Rui, don't waste the rewards."

The moment Jiang Fan was pushed out of the kitchen, a smile of "my evil plan has succeeded" appeared on his lips.

Just then, Ding Rui was awakened by the commotion, and he quickly sent her a binding invitation.

He urged her to agree quickly.

The moment the message "[Congratulations to Deputy Homestead Owner Ding Rui for successfully binding]" appeared, the daily leaderboard settlement announcement also arrived as scheduled.
