To the west of the main floating island is Xuefu City.
More than ten kilometers away from the leafy suburbs, walking along the spacious and straight cement road, you can see a huge green ancient tree in the distance.
It is hundreds of meters high, with an exquisite tree house built on its thick trunk. It is the symbol of World Tree Academy - although it is not comparable to the real World Tree, it is still spectacular enough.
Tang Yu raised his head, squinted slightly, and instantly saw the shadow covering the sky above his head.
The branches are wider than the bridge, the leaves are several times larger than the cattail leaf... And in the direction of the castle, back, the trunk of the World Tree is like the Pillar to the Sky.
The World Tree uses civilization as its soil, takes root in the void, and is hidden in another dimension.
The support of the Green Shade City, the blessing of the territory... The newly born World Tree has returned to its former size, and its branches and leaves that cover the sky are larger than the main island of the floating island and the three sub-islands combined.
In addition to Yggdrasil Academy, the academic city also has two comprehensive universities and two middle schools... The junior high and high schools have now been merged. In addition to basic liberal arts and science, the knowledge taught also includes apocalyptic history, demonized beast analysis and other subjects, as well as corresponding basics. Primary schools already have a mature education system.
As the Spring Festival approaches, both World Tree Academy and other schools have already gone on holiday, but there are still many overnight students in the academy city.
They are all orphans with nowhere to go, but this year they can finally have a happy holiday.
"Mr. Principal, you are here."
Tang Yu's arrival alarmed the senior officials of Xuefuan City. The first was the vice-principal of World Tree College, an old man with sparse hair, extremely thin skin, dark skin, and two front teeth exposed in his mouth.
The old man is only a low-level awakened person, and he was forced to get there by relying on potions. The reason why he can take the position of vice principal is not because of his background, but because he has the ability. Before the end of the world, the old man was the principal of an unknown school and sponsored many times. Poor students live in poverty themselves.
"Long time no see, Principal Zhang."
Only then did Tang Yu remember that he was the nominal principal of World Tree College. He had only been here a handful of times since the college was established, and he felt a little ashamed just thinking about it.
Zhang Gengsheng didn't think much about it.
He is not an old green shade person, but he came to Green shade after many twists and turns and several medium and large shelters. If it weren't for the awakening of the students he had sponsored and supported him all the way, he would have been lucky, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to reach the green shade.
Zhang Gengsheng is talented and knowledgeable, but has good management skills. He once served as a grassroots cadre in a large shelter.
But he couldn't get used to the system of those large shelters. In addition to exploitation, countless survivors starved to death every day, especially the elderly and children.
Zhang Gengsheng understands the helplessness involved. The elderly and children will be "burdens" in the end of the world, but without a new generation, how can mankind talk about the future? Many shelters where food was not scarce could not even find orphanages, and schools were even less likely to exist... He begged shelter leaders, wealthy businessmen, and high-level awakened people, and everyone scorned his idea of building a school.
It’s the end of the world, what kind of school do we need
Only Luyin still attaches great importance to education, and even invested huge sums of money to build a school city... As the vice-principal, Zhang Gengsheng knows how huge the cost is. Even if it is a holy land-level force, even if they also invest resources to build a school, their investment is not as good as One percent, one thousandth of the shade!
World Tree Academy is lucky to have such a principal.
Mr. Tang is also the city lord of Green Shade City and the lord of the defensive circle. Compared with himself who only needs to manage the school and take care of the students, Mr. Tang has a heavier task on his shoulders, so it is naturally impossible for him to inspect the school frequently.
"Come on, call the principal quickly."
Principal Zhang waved to some shy students behind him.
They are all young, between the ages of twelve and sixteen, and they are among the leaders of the new generation of awakened people. When I first saw Tang Yu, I was a little dazed. He was too young. Tang Yu didn't often appear in public. He may be the most famous, but his familiarity with the students was not as good as that of Yi Lian, Luo Zhe, and others. Sora and others... Elaine and the others occasionally give public classes at World Tree Academy.
But... principal
Isn't the principal of World Tree Academy the very young Lord Tang
They gradually matched Tang Yu's appearance with the commemorative statue in the academy.
"It's really Mr. City Lord!"
"The living principal!"
"Welcome, principal brother."
"I heard that Chaofan can live for thousands of years. Could it be that while the principal looks young, he can actually be Grandpa Zhang's grandfather?"
"Silly, how many years have it been since the end of the world? The principal is an authentic fifth era person. Don't be ashamed if you are not good at era history... According to my speculation, the principal should be about the same age as Grandpa Zhang, but his cultivation level is high, so he has returned to his old age. Childish."
Can these little bastards talk... Tang Yu's smile twitched slightly.
Zhang Gengsheng coughed awkwardly but politely.
"You just were?"
"We are discussing the candidates for the first Freshman Cup."
Freshman Cup
How come I haven't heard of it at all... Tang Yu couldn't help but wonder if he paid too little attention to his territory
"The New Life Cup is an international event. It was actually proposed by the Ancient Spirit Royal Family not long ago. The date of the event has not yet been determined. It is a team competition. It is only open to the 'new generation' who are 12 to 14 years old or may be extended to 15 years old. The new generation is awakening. At that time, we had missed the 'rapid improvement period' in which we could refine our soul power, so we could only rely on cultivation, and more importantly, inheritance and cultivation."
Zhang Gengsheng said: "In addition to our green shade, Guling and Beiting are the holy places that attach the most importance to the cultivation of the new generation. However, Guling pays more attention to the cultivation of the awakened ones, while we and Beiting are more comprehensive."
Tang Yu nodded slightly, but didn't pay much attention to it. Whether he lost or won, Lu Yin had passed the stage where he needed to rely on competition to increase his influence.
As for children who are twelve or thirteen years old and have to fight and see blood, no one cares about this. Zhang Gengsheng hopes that the new generation can be better trained, but he is not pedantic. In the two years before the end of the world, it was not uncommon for children as young as a few years old to take up arms and face the demonized beasts.
Tang Yu thought for a while and then said, "If you can achieve good results in the Freshman Cup, each of you can be rewarded with an A-level item. If you can get first place, each of you can be rewarded with an S-level item, and Build a strange beast garden in the World Tree Academy...yes, it is the kind that can be visited, and if you reach an agreement with the strange beasts, you can take them away."
I heard the eyes of those little boys and girls light up.
The same goes for Principal Zhang, the Alien Beast Park, could it be... He remembered the rumors he had heard before, that the scientific research department was developing runes that could contract alien beasts, but now it seems that it may not be a rumor.
He looked at Tang Yu, who nodded imperceptibly.
certainly,
The first place is a bit difficult... It's not that World Tree Academy's teaching method is not good, nor is it insufficient resources, it's just that high-end items, potions that can improve cultivation, are rarely given casually by the academy, and the students have to fight for the most cultivation resources based on their own ability... Gu Ling Waiting for the dynasty, there must be key training targets within the royal family...
Zhang Gengsheng knows this aspect very well, but his view is the same as Tang Yu's. The Freshman Cup is to better train students, not to compete for rankings.
Under the leadership of Principal Lao Zhang, Tang Yu inspected World Tree College and was warmly welcomed by the left-behind students. He successfully showed his face and refreshed his sense of existence.
Of course, due to various 'complaints' from Principal Lao Zhang, Tang Yu invested a large amount of resources in the college.
…
In the ancient city, the hiding place of a few bald middle-aged people has been changed from a star hotel to a B&B.
Four bedrooms and two living rooms.
The ugly young man in charge of liaison once again brought the message, "Boss, there is news from above. We must complete the operation within a week, otherwise, the organization will treat us as traitors."
The bald middle-aged man frowned, said nothing, and paced back and forth in the room, "Have you found out where that adult is being held?"
"No." The ugly young man said, "The prison guard we bribed does not have enough status. We only know that the adult is imprisoned in the depths of the prison. It is impossible to buy him out. Even a prisoner imprisoned in the shallows needs three supervisors. Only with the consent of the person can they be taken out.”
The bald middle-aged man’s brows furrowed even deeper.
He thought about using the prison guard as a guide to bribe higher-level people, but he obviously didn't have enough time.
He doesn't have much confidence in his current actions.
"But..." the ugly young man said again, "if we are just visiting the prison, the prison guard can take us in, um... I am referring to the visiting prisoner Wang Er. He is only detained in the shallow layer."
The balding middle-aged man was silent for a while, then waved the ugly young man to leave. He took out a diagram of some of the prison's structures that he had drawn and looked at it intently for a long time.
