Time flew by and it was noon. I had a pretty good lunch in the cafeteria.

Then I took a walk around the playground for a while.

well

The health problems I developed in my later years are like the saying, "Walk a hundred steps after meals and you'll live to ninety-nine."

I looked around for a place where I could read books and collect information about the world.

In the end, there was only a book corner that looked like a shell, but oh well, we'll just have to make do with it.

The characters in this world are still square characters, which makes things much more convenient.

If all else fails, pretend to be a child prodigy or something, and enjoy a few good days.

I rummaged through the pile of books and found a few history books and maps, so I found a corner to read them.

There are only two great powers in the world now, so vast that they can suppress all under heaven.

One is the Holy Roman Republic.

Another one is where I am, the Democratic Republic of China.

Then came five second-tier countries: the Eastern Russian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the Germanic Empire, the English Empire, and the French Democratic Republic.

There was also a nation known as the financial empire, the Judah people.

This race, which claims to be willing to betray even God for the right price, is a people who value money above all else.

Therefore, this tribe can only live as parasites in other countries and does not have its own fixed territory, but the tribe is very wealthy and controls the lifeline of many small countries.

However, in world history, things started to go wrong with Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The meteor summoned by the archmage not only killed Wang Mang's army, but also brought with it demons and monsters.

And the world has also changed, and from then on, the change of dynasties seems to have been a continuous process.

No, not even the Yuan and Qing dynasties.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty was still very powerful, so it was not severely defeated by foreign invasions. In the end, it was only the emperor's foolish actions that led to the downfall of the Song Dynasty.

The same thing happened in the Ming Dynasty; the emperors always ruined the country by making foolish mistakes.

After that, the world was in chaos for over a hundred years until the emergence of modern nations.

It took more than thirty years of fighting to finally establish the current republic.

It's only been a little over 40 years since then.

I silently closed the book, "A Brief History."

It's quite remarkable that such a well-stocked corner of books, designed to deal with superiors, contains so much information.

I put down my book, tried to restore the book corner to its original state, and turned to walk back to the classroom while thinking about what to do next.

Based on the information gathered from the book, there are some different things in this world.

But I don't know if it's like I imagine, if it has supernatural powers, and if so, how can I make contact with it?

Thinking about this made me quite excited. After calming down, I returned to the classroom without any major incident.

When I opened the door and saw this room full of young boys and girls, I was completely bewildered.

The thought of living with so many energetic little ones for six years...

A sense of powerlessness welled up inside me.

When I returned to my seat, looking dejected, a small, dark head popped up next to me.

When asked, "What's wrong, Gangzi? You disappeared right after dinner. Did something happen?"

The chubby, dark-skinned guy who was talking was one of my neighbors, and his nickname was Blackie.

I don't know their real names and I didn't ask them in detail. It's good enough that the kids have nicknames.

I didn't inquire about their names in detail. Besides Hei Zi, there were two others: one called Ma Lian (Horse Face) and the other called San Yuan Qian (Three Yuan). It's probably because their names are something like Xin.

They were already a small group in the same class, and he replied listlessly, "It's nothing."

I slumped onto my desk and started organizing the information I'd gathered that morning.

The world now seems somewhat like it was in the early 1990s.

However, judging from the surrounding environment, gangs are very prevalent here.

While chatting, they frequently mentioned certain names, which immediately sounded like gang names.

But these little guys didn't show any fear when it was mentioned.

On the contrary, they looked longing, which shows that the gangs here are not the kind of organized crime I had in mind.

It should be the kind of group that sticks together for warmth, with a sense of responsibility and obligation.

This is quite interesting, from the perspective of Chinese history.

The dynasty never experienced a significant decline.

How can a country that has always been among the world's top tier tolerate the existence of such gangs when the law is sound and the nation is strong?

It seems that gangs are present in every industry.

They're all in law enforcement, and it seems the government is aware of it too.

These are likely powers delegated from the national level to local authorities.

They are part of the ruling class of the country, just like street offices or residents' committees.

This is quite strange. We still have too little information to make a judgment on some things. Let's wait and see.

The main objective now is still to collect information.

Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to winning every battle, but not having a stable source of information is also a big problem.

Fortunately, school also provides some basic social information; otherwise, even basic living would be a problem.

We must find a way to gather information about "extraordinary power" and see if we can make contact with it.
