What? You opened a resort on the battlefield of all races?

"Ding! Payment received successfully, 10,000 credits!"

"Ding! Top-up successful, 100,000 credits!"

……

In the lobby of the Wanzu Style Resort, the electronic notification sounds from the payment terminals filled the air.

After completing the check-in and payment procedures, the students took their specially made room cards and scattered throughout the lobby.

Zhao Feng took the lead and rushed up the stairs to the second floor.

He pushed open the door to a luxurious cultivation room with his room key, and without even taking off his shoes, he collapsed onto the soft bed.

With the cultivation speed increased tenfold instantly, Fan Rui let out a long, comfortable sigh.

"What kind of miserable life did I live before?!"

He rolled his eyelids and fell into a deep sleep.

On the other side, Li Lan and several other students from the Beijing Martial Arts University ran wildly into the area of ​​the Life-Giving Dew Hot Spring.

"Splash! Splash!"

A series of splashes rang out.

The pale blue spring water surged and enveloped them.

They leaned against the smooth, warm pebble edge, watching the scars on their bodies, varying in depth, scab over and fall off at a visible speed, revealing new skin.

They made a decision that went against their ancestors' wishes—

When I got back, I threw away those pills in my storage container that tasted like sheep droppings.

Oh no, I mean, sell it for money!

Some wealthy individuals even formed long queues outside the Shenhun Cinema.

Roll shop, evil energy purification SPA, war of all races card room...

The resort is packed with people!

Li Lan, who was studying at Wuhan University in Beijing, did not go to her room on the second floor, nor did she go to the hot spring.

He pushed open the transparent glass door of the resort lobby and walked out into the courtyard.

In the center of the courtyard, the enormous burning tree stood silently. Its leaves swayed in the wind, emitting a gentle glow that illuminated the surrounding space.

Li Lan walked to the tree, found a clean bluestone slab, and sat down cross-legged.

He just stood there, head held high, staring at the leaves above him that looked like flames, motionless.

Time passes little by little.

He exhaled a long breath, rummaged around in the tactical belt for a while, and pulled out a somewhat shrunken cigarette case.

Opening the cigarette pack, there was only one cigarette left, slightly bent from being pressed down.

Li Lan put a cigarette in her mouth and took out a metal lighter.

"Smack."

A flame shot up and ignited the cigarette butt.

He took a deep breath, and the pungent smoke entered his lungs through his trachea.

"Splash—!"

Before he could even exhale the smoke from his mouth, a large basin of icy cold water fell from the sky and splashed directly onto his head.

This watering was thorough and effective.

The cigarette in Li Lan's mouth went out instantly, turning into a wet, rotten piece of paper stuck to her lips.

A refreshing coolness, a feeling of exhilaration.

"Smoking is not allowed here, it stinks!!"

On one of the lower, thicker branches of the Burning Tree, Candice stood holding a wooden bucket upside down in both hands.

She puffed out her cheeks and glared angrily at Li Lan.

"Shushu hates this smell!"

Candice gave a soft, childlike hum, turned around, flapped her elven wings, and flew back into the depths of the treetops.

Li Lan sat there, not angry.

The wet clothes clung to his body, and the uncomfortable dampness made him clearly realize that all of this was real.

He understood everything.

He finally understood why Cangyun Martial Arts University, which had been at the bottom for many years, had suddenly become stronger than ever this year, as if it had taken some kind of blue pill.

He finally understood why, on the battlefield of ten thousand races, the people of Cangyun Martial Arts University dared to fight the Thorn Feather Clan, who were a realm higher than them, as if their lives depended on it.

He finally understood why these people ignored the deadly aura that had seeped into their bodies through their wounds after the battle.

He finally understood why the people from Cangyun Martial Arts University looked like a swarm of starving locusts on the battlefield.

After killing the alien race, they took everything of value from them, like skinning them alive, leaving not even a single useful bone behind!

"This is fucking..."

Li Lan supported herself on her knees with both hands and stood up from the bluestone slab.

Water droplets were still dripping down his chin.

"Hey, isn't this Senior Li from Beijing?"

Liu Bo suddenly appeared out of nowhere, grinning to reveal two rows of big white teeth.

He looked at Li Lan, who was soaking wet, with a suspicious expression.

"Taking a wild bath so late at night?"

"Aren't you afraid the female classmates will see?"

Li Lan ignored Liu Bo's teasing.

He looked at Liu Bo, who was said to have been a useless person in the Rock Realm just three months ago, but now his cultivation had reached the same level as his own, the Flying Realm.

If I hadn't come here, it probably wouldn't have been long before they overtook me.

Thinking back, it took me more than five or six years to cultivate from the Rock Realm to the Flying Realm.

At this moment, all the myriad thoughts in Li Lan's mind condensed and refined into two extremely simple words—

"Hang up (referring to a specific product or service)."

The sound wasn't loud, but it could be heard clearly in the courtyard in the early morning.

Liu Bo's smile froze instantly.

"???"

"Are you praising me or insulting me?"

Li Lan smiled, got up and left.

He made his decision.

If you can't beat them, join them!

……

The front desk in the lobby.

Xu Tianlin held the enamel mug with "Double Happiness" printed on it, drank the last mouthful of tea, and spat the tea leaves into the trash can next to him.

He stretched out a big yawn, raised his hands above his head, and stretched his stiff back forcefully.

The joints made a "crackling" sound.

"Finally finished!!"

"It's time to calm down that hot-tempered Brother Tong!"

Immediately, he brought up the system panel in his mind.

A semi-transparent blue screen unfolded before his eyes, and Xu Tianlin's gaze swept directly to the upper right corner.

[System self-destruct countdown: 5 days, 22 hours, and 15 minutes.]

The red numbers continued to jump, constantly reminding him that the resort could turn to ashes at any moment.

Xu Tianlin rubbed his hands together and looked down.

[Current construction site balance: 1033205.]

After deducting the 2.05 million construction points spent on building the "Divine Soul Cinema," the money raised by the students from Beijing Martial Arts University left a surplus of just over 1 million.

Xu Tianlin opened the building upgrade option menu.

The vast majority of buildings in the long list are either grayed out and locked, or require an astronomical number of construction points to upgrade.

He swiped down skillfully, his gaze finally settling on an icon that emitted a faint golden glow.

【All Heavens Jar Shop】

[Facility upgrade cost: 100 credits.]

"One million? That's fucking outrageous!"

Xu Tianlin smacked his lips.

"Come on, let's see what you can do after you upgrade."

"System, upgrade the Celestial Jar Shop!"
