Chapter 80 (Chapter Eighty) Connections
Buying a new Otherworld phone now would be too much trouble.
However, constantly switching between different psychic communication accounts on the same phone can make it difficult to receive messages.
Yan Shi hesitated for a moment, and Lu Jian's message had already been sent to her.
[Lu Jian: Director Yan, are you available now?]
[Lu Jian: Regarding the matter you mentioned last time about arranging a teaching assistant position at Zhanzhou University for Yanlan, I see that Ms. Yanlan has already signed the appointment letter, but she hasn't yet come to the school to complete the onboarding procedures.]
[Lu Jian: Why don't you ask her?]
Yan Shi: ...
It's like being sued on your own behalf.
She silently marked Lu Jian's message as read, then opened Lingdu, preparing to show herself the model of the new phone in the Otherworld.
Yan Shi's current phone in the Inner World was issued when he joined the company; the phone in the Outer World is not suitable for the Inner World.
Lingxun installation package, mobile version compatible with Tableworld.
Yan Shi: ...
She underestimated these businesses.
Now you don't need to buy a mobile phone.
She silently downloaded the installation package and forwarded it to her mobile phone in the world of the living, then opened the Messages app and smiled at the screen.
Yanlan's account has been successfully logged in.
As soon as I entered, the interface froze for a moment, and then the messages refreshed simultaneously, with several message dialog boxes popping up.
At the very top is still Lu Jian.
Below are, in order, four unfamiliar accounts that are not identified and are presumably colleagues: Zhan Zhou Teaching Assistant Working Group Group Chat, Ji Pucun, Director of the Teachers' Committee, and others.
Yan Shi silently opened the chat box that displayed Ji Pucun, the director of the Teachers' Committee.
There weren't many messages in the chat box. They were from the morning and afternoon of the day before yesterday, and noon yesterday. Ji Pucun asked her where she was and when she would come to complete the onboarding procedures.
By yesterday afternoon, there had been no further news.
Yan Shi then clicked on the road again.
There were many more messages, 99+, and it continued until this morning.
Yan Shi looked up from the bottom.
Unlike the identity verification system, the messages on the spiritual message platform are mostly notifications related to the work of the Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche teaching assistant.
Yan Shi finally understood how to deal with Pu Cun and stopped sending her messages.
Lu Jian helped her complete the process online.
Meanwhile, the information Lu Jian sent her included onboarding instructions, course schedules, teacher accommodation arrangements, and so on.
Very well done.
Yan Shi silently clicked on the input box:
[Yanlan: 1]
Lu Jian replied almost instantly:
[Lu Jian: Ms. Yanlan, you've finally logged into the spirit communication system.]
[Yanlan: 1]
Lu Jian was sitting in the conference room of the Bureau of Alien Affairs, attending a meeting on the proposal for the underground world security publicity requested by Director Yan, while also replying to Yan Lan's messages.
Only then did the Mother Goddess realize how many messages she had sent to Yanlan during this time.
If she had known that seeking help from Director Yan would be helpful, she would have already asked Director Yan to remind Yan Lan.
[Lu Jian: Ms. Yanlan, you might not be able to see all the information above. Just read through all the documents.]
[Lu Jian: Teachers in Zhanzhou need to arrive a week in advance to prepare for their new positions. Although you are already three days late, it's not too late to arrive now.]
[Lu Jian: Feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions.]
Yan Shi opened these documents and found that in addition to the official notices, there were also some documents that should be Lu Jian's personal summaries and reminders.
There was even a summary of the Zhanzhou New Teachers' Meeting.
Is this the work attitude of the Information Department of the Foreign Affairs Bureau?

Yan Shi got up, took off his coat, loosened his hair, and tried to recall Yan Lan's usual attire before heading to Zhan Zhou.
Just as she was about to use the spell to reach Zhan Zhou, her phone suddenly popped up with several more messages.
[Lu Jian: Oh, right, little ancestor, there's one more thing to note.]
[Lu Jian: Please, whatever you do, do not use the spell Yan Ju gave you to tear open space and go directly to Zhan Zhou.]
Yan Shi stopped what he was doing.
Lu Jian had anticipated her thoughts.
[Lu Jian: Zhan Zhou is a floating city. Besides preventing students from leaving campus without permission during school hours, the main purpose of the barrier is isolation.]
[Lu Jian: If the barrier is damaged, Zhan Zhou will be unable to maintain its small world state and will be exposed from the surface world. At that time, there will be a huge shadow over the capital.]
[Lu Jian: Even for Yanju's sake, Ms. Yanlan, please be gentler when you're in Zhanzhou, and don't attack the barrier.]
Yan Shi: ...
Yan Shi lost his luster.
If Zhan Zhou's barrier breaks, it will be discovered by the residents of the surface world, becoming an emergency anomaly, and all the workload will fall on the Bureau of Anomalies.
What is it?
Is it absolutely necessary to visit Jamyang Kyi?
---
Yes, we absolutely have to go.
Yan Shi sat on a bench on the outskirts of the capital, waiting for his bus with a look of utter despair.
More than 20 years ago, in addition to the Bureau of Alien Affairs, Zhan Zhou was also among those who moved from the Inner World to the Outer World.
This was also a historical discovery made by Yan Shicha Zhanzhou.
After Lu Jian told her that Zhan Zhou's barrier would be exposed from the surface world if there was a hole, Yan Shi found something strange:
Since this barrier is so fragile, Zhanzhou School has been established for at least a hundred years, and no student has ever broken it?
How did the Bureau of Foreign Affairs handle that at the time?
Then, unexpectedly, it was discovered that Zhan Zhou had moved to the surface world more than 20 years ago, around the same time as the headquarters of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs.
At the same time, a new rule was added to the Zhanzhou school regulations: Do not break the barrier of the Zhanzhou floating island, or you will bear the consequences.
Because the punishments for each rule in Zhanzhou School are usually clearly written, this rule is ambiguous, so the students don't take it seriously.
In the first year after arriving in the surface world, an upperclassman secretly opened a hole in the barrier to sneak out of the school, and he is now in jail at the Bureau of Extraterrestrial Affairs.
It only takes one step from enrollment to imprisonment.
This serves as a warning to others; almost every new student will be taught this lesson when they enroll.
Stay away from the barrier!
It's almost become a legend about the strange events of Zhan Zhou.
As for how to travel to Jambudvipa without using incantations...
Gui Ge Mu is right. Zhan Zhou is a floating island, concealed by a special barrier, located above the capital and very close to the Bureau of Foreign Affairs.
But that's a straight-line distance.
Starting from the Bureau of Foreign Affairs, to get to Zhanzhou via the official route, you need to leave the capital first, and then wait for the airship to pick you up at a designated point in Zhanzhou.
If they are not freshmen, some upperclassmen will also accumulate enough points to buy their own transportation from Zhanzhou, so they don't have to wait for the school bus and can go there at any time.
As newly hired teachers, they are normally assigned to specific individuals.
Follow the magic pigeon navigation to find the North Gate of Zhanzhou, and then sit here to wait for an airship that seems to never arrive.
According to Lu Jian, the newborn airships in Zhanzhou run approximately every half hour.
Yan Shi sat there for twenty minutes, from when there was no one around until about ten students were standing around him.
The airship still hasn't arrived.
Yan Shi: ...
She was sitting on the right side of the waiting bench, and there was only one bench there, but for some reason, no one else sat down on it.
Bored, Yan Shi and the others changed their head-resting device from their right hand to their left hand and then to both hands.
The airship still hasn't arrived.
Despair.jpg
Although her mobile phone in the real world had some software installation packages for the other world installed, it didn't have a network card for the other world, so the signal was intermittent.
It's completely unplayable.
Yan Shi: ...
She absolutely has to ask Lu Jian for directions to this airship tomorrow before she goes to work; why is it so slow!
The freshman enrollment season in Jamchea only lasts a week; couldn't we send out more airships?
Zhan Zhou doesn't seem to be short of money.
It's so boring.
Yan Shi began to turn her head and sized up the students waiting for the bus with her.
Because Zhan Zhou didn't have another teacher like Yan Shi, who was supposed to report for duty but didn't reply to any messages for three days and simply vanished into thin air.
Furthermore, all the procedures were handled by the director of the General Administration of Customs.
At this moment, standing to Yan Shi's left waiting for the car was a young man standing empty-handed.
Her long, dark blue hair cascaded down her back to her calves. She wore a shirt and shorts; the shirt was meticulously crafted with delicate patterns on the fabric.
At the same time, what Ling Yanshi kept noticing was a very beautiful sapphire hanging on his wrist.
A very pure, deep blue, smooth and translucent. The chain hanging there, made of some unknown material, shimmered with a silvery light, like flowing water.
It suits his hair very well.
Yan Shifen thought to himself.
Besides the boys, most of the people standing around were students carrying two suitcases and other bags.
Presumably originating from the Dimensional World, it lacks a storage container. Since Zhan Zhou doesn't accept deliveries from the Dimensional World, it had to be carried there by hand.
Suddenly, a roar came from the distant sky, and Yan Shi looked up.
A silver-white airship slowly drifted over from a distance.
Although it's called an airship, it's not even in the same league as the airship Yanshi saw at the Yuntu Airship Tower last time.
Most of the airships at Yuntu Air Tower are streamlined, simple, and sleek.
It can be customized according to the owner's preferences to increase its offensiveness, stability, defense, etc.
Zhan Zhou's airship was actually a cuboid.
It looks like a school bus from the real world, but it's an old-fashioned one with some plastic wings added to the sides.
After landing on the open space in front of the bench where Yan Shi was sitting, it even made a creaking sound like an old vehicle.
Then the car door slowly opened, accompanied by the creaking sound of the door hinge locking.
It looks very unreliable.
Yan Shi finally understood why the wait for the bus was taking so long.
At the speed of this airship, it would probably take a very long time to reach Zhanzhou.
The driver must have had a tough time.
After the car door opened, one person jumped out of the car first.
He was wearing glasses and looked strangely familiar.
The boy next to Yan Shi waved his hand: "Zhi Heqing, I'm here."
Yan Shi's eyebrows twitched.
The memories of her dead attacked her.
I remember now, he was the captain of the Zhan Zhou Practice Team that I met when Lin Cai and I were kidnapped by the Mithril Merchant Guild on the Giant Jade Plain.
Zhihe's eyes lit up, and she strode over: "Adelaide, you're so late this year."
His gaze then naturally fell on Yanlan beside him.
Zhihe was taken aback: "Senior?"
The students from the world of performing arts remained tense and quiet after Zhihe Qing jumped out of the car.
Students from the other world have already studied magic and spells at home, and most of them have keen hearing.
Upon hearing Zhihe's soft shout, all the living beings present turned their gaze toward Yan Shi.
Yan Shi smiled and said, "Yes, it's been a long time."
Zhihe Qing: "Then, senior, what are you doing here...?"
He hadn't seen this unknown senior since the black market auction incident, after the explosion.
Their team scored very high in practice, but Zhihe Qing was still thinking about Yanlan.
I can't believe I'm seeing Yanlan here now?
And they were waiting for the airship to visit Zhou.
Yan Shi: "I am a teacher."
"Teacher?" The boy standing next to Yan Shi also turned his head to look. "I've never seen you before. You're not a teacher."
"If you're a newly hired teacher, you should have already completed your onboarding procedures at the school. What are you doing here?"
Yan Shi: "Name?"
Boy: "Adelaide Lorenz."
Yan Shi raised an eyebrow. The surname looked familiar. Was this Libertas's brother?
Unfortunately, she still remembers the time when Libertas leaked her whereabouts at the Welsh Hub.
Moreover, Libertas's younger brother seemed to lack encouragement from his teacher when he spoke.
Anyway, she's Yanlan now, so it doesn't matter what she does.
"I understand." Yan Shi nodded. "Although I may not teach you, I will try to reschedule my classes so that I can fail you."
Adelaide: "You can't just change your teaching assignment whenever you want."
“But as you said,” Yan Shi spread his hands, “the newly hired teachers should have already completed their onboarding procedures at the school, while I’m still here waiting for a ride to the college.”
"Can't you tell? I'm someone with connections."
