With the existence of 'Breath Soil,' it's hard not to build quickly.

Lingquan University has recruited a hundred-man engineering team from Lingquan City, capable of operating thirty-three engineering machines concurrently.

One team of engineering machines can complete a floor's construction in three days, and thirty-three teams working around the clock can not only extend the city walls outwards in fifteen days but also preliminarily complete the teaching building of Abyss Academy.

Li Jiongming brought his students to the construction site, looked at the rapidly constructed campus area, and confirmed the completion date of the academy with the chief engineer.

"One month!"

The chief engineer patted his chest in assurance, "From start to finish, we only need a month, not only can we complete all kinds of facilities but also finish their decoration!"

Teaching blocks, libraries, gyms, dormitories, garden buildings, etc., they would all be completed in just one month.

The engineering team's work speed is so fast because Lingquan University has provided enough money.

The construction payment was transferred to their account right from the start, not to mention the deposit, even the final payment was fully paid.

Lingquan University's only requirement is to 'complete the construction of the Abyss Academy's campus as soon as possible.'

It's rare to encounter such a 'reasonable' client, so the engineering team is determined to exert all their efforts to complete this task.

Every engineer can operate one team of engineering machines, so the chief engineer brought ninety-nine engineers to work in shifts, day and night.

The engineers have no complaints about this, and the reason is the same—they were paid enough.

Li Jiongming, wearing a safety helmet, looked at the construction site and asked, "May I ask if the buildings can be used directly after completion?"

The chief engineer grinned, "Of course! We use renovation materials that are pure and non-polluting, sourced from the Nether Abyss. Despite the Nether Abyss's unpleasant name, the materials produced by demons there are actually the safest for renovation."

Speaking of this, the chief engineer couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity the Nether Abyss has existed for a long time, and I fear it will be conquered soon, after which such good materials might be hard to find."

After some small talk with the chief engineer, Li Jiongming refused the chief engineer's company and led the students into the campus under construction, because he had something to tell them.

Walking ahead, Li Jiongming said slowly, "I think many of you might be wondering why the high-level decision was suddenly made to combine several Abyss-related majors into Abyss Academy and move those majors to Crimson No.2."

It's certainly puzzling, given this is the frontline against the Abyss, they have entered the Abyss before and know how dangerous it is.

Why does the school want to place Abyss Academy here?

"As spread online, Blue Star is about to experience a great upheaval, and when that time comes, no one will be spared, no one can stand aloof."

Li Jiongming spoke astonishingly, and his students were shocked.

As about the highest-ranking teacher in Lingquan University, Li Jiongming's students include not only current undergraduates but also many lecturers and even Professors at Lingquan University.

But for the trip to Crimson No.2, only lecturers and students followed Li Jiongming.

Li Jiongming can access information that they can't, so for students following him, Li Jiongming's words are equivalent to 'the future.'

"This is a war, and if we cannot win this war, the situation we will face will be as tragic as the lost decade." Li Jiongming looked back at his students, "You are relatively lucky; you don't need to carry guns and cannons to face demons, as long as Hunters and soldiers aren't exterminated, you won't have to personally go to the battlefield. But that doesn't mean your mission is lighter. You must shoulder the responsibility of researching the Abyss—Hunters and soldiers fight on the frontlines, you need to provide them with adequate logistics support.

"Whether it's intelligence support or researching materials dropped by demons to develop new products, providing them with enhanced combat strength, it's your task. I'm already old, my mind is starting to falter, and there's not much I can do, so the path ahead you must walk it yourself, I can't help much."

Li Jiongming suddenly raised his hand to point at the construction site of the laboratory building, drawing people's attention there, and said, "It's not just one university that will establish Abyss Academy, nor will just one university place it at Exploration Town, because this place is best suited for researching demons. If you want to continue in this industry, you must stay here. If you wish to exit it, I advise you to consider the sunk cost."

After saying this, Li Jiongming said nothing more, leading his students away from the construction site.

He had said what needed to be said; even if he spoke further, they wouldn't listen.

Sasa returned to the dormitory with the team and received a message from Wu Zechuan.

Wu Zechuan told Sasa that if Lingquan City's court wanted to sentence Yan Luo to probation, Yan Luo wouldn't agree.

This reply left Sasa a bit troubled, but she was prepared for it.

After all, Yan Luo is such a person; if he isn't wrong, he will never admit it.

"How can we go to Celestial Sea City next, and invite Professor Ximen out..."

Since Yan Luo couldn't enter the city, Sasa had to consider how to invite Professor Ximen outside to meet them.

If Professor Ximen disagrees with meeting outside, Sasa would have to enter Celestial Sea City alone to meet him and learn about the 'Saint.'

However, that probability was small, for Ximen Tiesuan had researched ancient history for so long but would surely want to meet Yan Luo the 'Saint.'

Professor Li is willing to help contact Professor Ximen, and next, they only need to travel to Celestial Sea City.

Thinking about this, Sasa contacted Helena, asking her to relay a message to Yan Luo.

Although confused about Sasa's plan to travel to Celestial Sea City with Yan Luo, Helena agreed to pass the message during the next mission to the Abyss.

Anyway, as Sasa said, she wasn't in a hurry; they would depart whenever Yan Luo returned.

When Yan Luo returned, he would surely come to her dormitory to find her.

After leaving the task to Helena, Sasa put it aside and continued her research.

Three nights later, when Sasa was sleeping, she heard tapping on the window.

Sasa awoke, though her head was still groggy.

It took a few seconds to realize Yan Luo had arrived.

Sasa opened the window and let Yan Luo in.

After sleeping for just an hour and feeling hazy, Sasa told Yan Luo to discuss things tomorrow and then covered herself with a blanket before turning over and sleeping again.

Yan Luo had no choice but to go to the bathroom to wash himself, dried off, then lay on the floor of Sasa's dormitory to sleep.

The next day, Sasa slept in late, waking up to find it was already two in the afternoon.

As she was about to start her personal terminal, she saw the figure sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Yan Luo, when did you arrive?" Sasa asked in surprise.

Yan Luo, who intended to strengthen his magnetic field through meditation, opened his eyes and replied, "This morning's dawn."

Only then did Sasa remember she had woken up from the sound of tapping on the window, let Yan Luo in.

"What are we going to do in Celestial Sea City?" Yan Luo looked back at Sasa.

He still didn't know why Sasa wanted to go to Celestial Sea City with him; he still carried charges, couldn't enter any city, if discovered en route, they might face a scenario of fleeing, and Sasa might be implicated.

"To visit a professor."

Sasa revealed their true purpose for going to Celestial Sea City.

Acknowledging Li Jiongming knew of the existence of 'Saint,' Yan Luo was unsurprised but hadn't anticipated anyone researching 'Saint.'

Yan Luo asked, "When are we leaving?"

Sasa smiled, "Tonight you leave Crimson No.2, wait for me in the north. Tomorrow, I'll drive out by myself, and then we'll head to Celestial Sea City together!"
