Wang Feng smiled and replied, "It's okay, it's understandable. It's a good thing that you have such a good relationship."
Hearing that Wang Feng didn't mind Shu Feng coming in, Gu Shi breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "Captain Wang, what did you come to see me about before? The teacher told me that you looked quite anxious."
"Haha, well, of course I have good news to tell you! And it's great news."
Gu Shi was a little confused, "What good news?"
Wang Feng smiled and said, "I thought you wouldn't be able to make it, but I didn't expect you to come back so promptly. Starting next month, we'll have a chance to go home!"
Upon hearing this news, Gu Shi widened his eyes in disbelief, "Really?"
Wang Feng nodded, "Of course it's true, how could I lie to you?"
After confirming the authenticity of the news, Gu Shi couldn't help but smile, "That's great, we can go home now, it's really great..."
As he spoke, Gu Shi's voice became a little choked with sobs.
Wang Feng said with emotion: "In fact, our original mission progress was not so fast. According to previous estimates, we will not be able to exchange it for the space-time gate back to Blue Star until next year at the earliest.
However, some time ago, a team was lucky enough to unexpectedly gain the favor of the elves while carrying out their mission.
Our friendship with the elves has allowed us to acquire a number of new illustrated books at once, otherwise we wouldn't know how much longer we would have had to wait."
The elves in this world are a rather xenophobic race. They live in the Elf Forest, where resources are abundant and the elves are completely self-sufficient, so they rarely interact with the outside world.
The school had tried to communicate with them before, but was always rejected. Unexpectedly, they would encounter such a pleasant surprise this time.
Gu Shi silently adjusted his emotions, closed his eyes and took a deep breath for a while. When he opened his eyes again, his voice had returned to normal.
"Has the school already exchanged for the space-time gate? Will it be open from next month?"
Wang Feng nodded, "Yes, the school has already installed the space-time gate, and it will be officially put into use starting next month, with the exact date set for June 1st.
However, there are many restrictions on the use of the space-time gate, and there are many constraints on the number of users and the time intervals for use, so it is difficult for the school to send everyone back at once.
Based on the current situation, we have arranged three ways for everyone to obtain a place to return to Blue Star."
Gu Shi quickly asked, "Which three?"
Wang Feng explained: "The first way is to purchase. We will release a small number of places to exchange for supplies, and the quantity is limited.
What you get in exchange are not common currencies like contribution points or gold coins, but other precious resources, such as ores, magic plants, and of course some special treasures are also collected.
The second method is to write a return application. Applicants need to explain their own situation in detail. We will verify the contents of the application one by one and select those who really have an urgent need to return.
In this case, if the applicant has no intention of returning to the other world again, we will give priority to approving his return application.
The third type is a lottery based purely on luck. The school has added a new lottery page on the Explorer app. You just need to click on it to register, and you will know whether you have won or not three days before the time-space gate opens.
Hearing this, Gu Shi asked again, "Captain Wang, you just said that the time-space gate has a limit on how often it can be used. So how often does it open?"
Wang Feng sighed, "The time-space gate can only be opened twice a year, and the interval between each opening must be more than three months. It is said that using it too much will cause damage to the world itself.
The school’s current plan is to open once in the middle of the year and once at the end of the year.
So if you have any urgent matters, you must deal with them in advance. If you really can't do it, you can only wait until next time. After all, it will be four months before you come back."
Gu Shi smiled and said, "I've been waiting for so many years. Even if it's something important, I have to put it aside until I get home. I miss my parents so much now.
By the way, Captain Wang, since there are so many requirements for returning to Blue Star, won’t it be difficult to come back then?
Are the requirements the same on both sides? I have teacher friends here, so I can’t just leave and never come back.
Wang Feng waved his hand, "Hey, you don't have to worry about that. People like you who have established reliable and important connections in the other world will definitely have a certain priority when returning to the other world.
When the time comes, just write an application according to the requirements and they will definitely approve it."
The teacher that Gu Shi recognized was extremely capable and had strong connections. The school was also counting on Gu Shi to gain some influence. How could they possibly block his application over such a matter? Wouldn't that be purely offensive?
Gu Shi said thoughtfully, "I see. Thank you, Captain Wang."
He will definitely not miss this opportunity to go back. Of the three ways Wang Feng just mentioned, the second one will be passed first. Apart from going home to see his parents, there is no special situation for him, so it will definitely be difficult for his return application to be approved.
In this case, the third option should be given priority. If he doesn't win the lottery, he will use the resources to exchange for a place on Blue Star.
Gu Shi is still quite confident in terms of wealth. Compared with others, what he has, even if not ranked first, should at least be in the top ten.
As long as you are willing to spend the money, you can definitely get a spot.
Thinking of this, Gu Shi asked Wang Feng again, "Captain Wang, when is the deadline for purchasing the quota?"
"This is the day before the space-time gate was activated."
Wang Feng then added, "If you want to exchange supplies for a spot, I suggest you first look through the exchange list on Explorer. You'll have a higher chance of success if you choose resources that the school doesn't have."
Gu Shi nodded, "Okay, I'll remember that."
"Any other questions? If not, you can go back now. My workload has increased dramatically recently because the space-time gate is about to open."
Wang Feng's voice sounded a little tired. The opening of the space-time gate was a good thing for everyone in this school, but going home had little to do with him.
After all, soldiers like them are stationed outside all year round and rarely have the opportunity to go home. What's more, the current situation is special and Wang Feng's position has considerable responsibilities. If he leaves, who will handle these matters in the next four months?
Seeing the tiredness on Wang Feng's face, Gu Shi didn't say anything else. Thinking that he really had no other questions, he said goodbye to him very quickly and left the office with Shufeng.
