Lin Xu snapped out of his daze and turned to see the expressions on the faces of the dean of students and Teacher Wang.

Both Teacher Wang and Teacher Lin looked at Lin Xu with complicated expressions, their gazes filled with a hint of envy.

After all, the teachers and deans of students in regular classes are just ordinary people.

They don't have the status of island owners, and they all greatly envy those who can own their own island.

Of course, Teacher Wang was just envious, but the head of the teaching department was a bit jealous and resentful.

Lin Xu had already finished dealing with his business and didn't want to waste any more time with the two of them.

"Teacher Wang, I still need to prepare for the development of the island, so I'll take my leave for now."

As for the head of the teaching department, Lin Xu had no interest in greeting him.

Teacher Wang then pulled Lin Xu aside and whispered:

"Lin Xu, you're the island lord now. As long as you don't lose that status, the headmaster really can't do anything to you. However, what you just said about the Bai family is still very dangerous. I certainly won't tell anyone about what happened between you and Miss Bai, but you need to be careful in the future and not give anyone any leverage over you!"

Lin Xu was somewhat surprised.

He turned back to look at the dean of students and saw that the ugly guy was also looking at him cautiously and expectantly. "Um, Lin Xu, about the recording just now..."

Lin Xu couldn't help but chuckle.

It turns out that the two men were worried that the previous claim that he had "sold his buttocks" to the Bai family would be spread.

Teacher Wang and the head of the teaching department really took the Bai family's matter seriously.

In fact, his relationship with Bai Qingniao was no secret; there were many such rumors circulating in the class and grade.

Even though these rumors have persisted for two years, neither Bai Qingniao nor the Bai family has reacted.

It is clear that the Bai family does not care much about these baseless rumors.

There might be something Bai Qingniao meant in this, but in any case, there's no way that such a joke would actually cause any conflict between him and Bai Qingniao.

Lin Xu:

"Don't worry, Teacher Wang, this matter won't have any impact."

Then Lin Xu glanced at the head of the teaching department and deliberately said:

"I certainly won't say such insulting things about the Bai family, and I also believe in Teacher Wang's character. But if some people are courting death and spread their foul language, I don't know what the consequences will be."

The head of the teaching department shrank back in fright:

"Impossible! I would never tell anyone! Don't worry, kid, this is a secret between the three of us, and no fourth person will ever know!"

As he said this, the head of the teaching department looked at Teacher Wang with some apprehension.

Because Teacher Wang hadn't participated in the conversation, he was genuinely worried that Teacher Wang might secretly sabotage him.

Lin Xu glanced at the dean of students, having some guesses about what the guy was thinking, and chuckled:

"I've already stored the recording in my hidden database. If I hear any rumors that are detrimental to me, or if Teacher Wang suffers any injustice, I can't guarantee that these audio recordings won't fall into the hands of the Bai family steward."

The head of the teaching department's face twitched, his expression turning awkward:

"Hehe, Lin Xu, you're really joking. How could those things have happened? You and Teacher Wang are both outstanding talents, destined for great things. How could anyone be foolish enough to speak ill of you..."

Lin Xu:

"That's good."

With that, Lin Xu decided not to waste any more time, pushed open the door, and left the office.

The atmosphere in the office became a little awkward for a moment.

Originally, Teacher Wang and the Dean of Students were discussing some student grades, but now they didn't know how to continue the conversation.

However, after listening to Lin Xu's footsteps and confirming that Lin Xu had gone far away, the dean of students could no longer hide the anger, ferocity, and resentment on his face.

He went berserk for half a minute before calming down slightly, then gave a disdainful sneer:

"A mere orphan and nobody like him really thinks he's something special! He borrowed 300,000 yuan and will have to pay back 330,000 yuan in the future! I doubt he can even earn 50,000 yuan a year! He'll end up selling his island and working as someone else's dog!"

Upon hearing this, Teacher Wang frowned slightly:

“Director, Lin Xu is not the kind of impulsive and reckless child. He is confident in borrowing money now, and he is sure he can repay it in the future. Moreover, with his talent and wisdom, he will definitely not be just an ordinary person in the future.”

The head of the teaching department sneered and laughed wildly:

"Not an ordinary person? Confident in repaying the loan? What could he possibly do on a mere hundred-meter-wide island, no matter how extraordinary he might be?"

Teacher Wang frowned, also unsure of the answer to the question.

The head of the teaching department then said:

"The best option for that kid, in my opinion, is to auction off the island and make a few million to live on for the rest of his life. But island transactions are only valid for three days after the Awakening Day. That kid has borrowed so much money, he obviously won't go down that path. By then, he won't be able to sell the island, and he won't make any money back! He'll definitely have to give the island away to pay off his debts. If he wants to turn his life around, he'll have to sell his ass..."

When the head of the teaching department saw that Lin Xu was not there, he started spouting his outrageous remarks about selling one's buttocks again.

Teacher Wang felt uncomfortable hearing this, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't find a way to refute the head of the teaching department's words.

After all, a mere hundred square meters of land is not enough to plant mineral seeds, and if one wanted to farm, the returns would be too low.

Lin Xu has no other capital, so how could he possibly repay a huge sum of 300,000 yuan?

Teacher Wang sighed and could only offer silent encouragement in her heart.

"Hopefully, this child has a plan in place and can overcome these obstacles; otherwise, he may spend the rest of his life filled with regret..."

Lin Xu was unaware of the conversation between the two people in the office.

Even if he knew, he would just smile indifferently.

At this point, he received a huge sum of money. After deducting the cost of purchasing the right to use the equipment, he still had 200,000 left, which could be used as initial development funds for the island.

But before that, he still wanted to go to the island to take a look.

He was particularly excited about his talent and what its effects would be.

So when Lin Xu saw that there was no one around, he found an empty classroom and hid inside.

The next moment, his figure disappeared and then appeared in a desolate, empty black space.

Only the square piece of land beneath his feet was his island.

This space is the island's world.

Although the space here is mostly dark, there is day and night, sunlight and moonlight, and occasionally starlight.

It was daytime, and Lin Xu looked at the ground beneath his feet.

This is a black, fertile land.

In terms of fertility alone, this land is actually of very high quality and is an excellent choice for early-stage planting.

However, this place is too small, a bare expanse of black soil, 100 meters long and 100 meters wide.

Lin Xu looked at this land, then stretched out his right hand, using the island lord's innate ability:

"Land placement!"
