Back in the dormitory, Gu Shi slumped in his chair, thinking about what Yang Jianguo had just said.
He must participate in further training so that he can learn magic as quickly as possible, gain more power, and control his own destiny.
Although it would be safer in school, it was also very passive. The best case scenario was that the school completed the collection of the illustrated guide within ten years and everyone returned home safely, but the consequences of mission failure could not be ignored.
If they stayed in school and waited for others to complete their tasks, what if they failed? They would lose the protection of the system and become vulnerable to being slaughtered.
Alas, Gu Shi now feels like Tang Monk Plus. All kinds of monsters and demons want to catch him and cook his meat, but he doesn’t have his three disciples to protect him.
That’s right, this is Gu Shi’s secret. His blood can make plants grow, heal wounds, and even... bring the dead back to life.
It wasn't so obvious when he was young, it just made plants grow faster, but as he grew older, the effect of his blood became stronger and stronger. Even after he became an adult, as soon as he killed a mosquito, the mosquito would come back to life through his blood.
This made Gu Shi very miserable. He had to try all kinds of ways to repel mosquitoes every summer. Fortunately, he was not particularly attracted to mosquitoes, and as he always had various mosquito repellents on hand, the problem was not too serious.
Ever since realizing his specialness, Gu Shi had carefully guarded this secret, fearing he would be captured and studied. As his abilities grew, he became more cautious, taking care not to get hurt and avoiding physical examinations whenever possible.
He keeps so many plants not only because he likes them, but also because he can use them to roughly test how much his abilities have grown.
Now that he has come to another world, his situation is even more dangerous. Who knows if those strong men can see his peculiarity at a glance and capture him directly.
Fortunately, there were still people willing to protect him. Thinking of that kind voice, Gu Shi felt a little relieved.
"Gu Shi, Gu Shi?" Cheng Xuqing slapped Gu Shi on the shoulder. "What are you thinking about? You're so lost in thought that you didn't even hear me calling you several times."
Gu Shi was startled by Cheng Xuqing, "No, I was thinking about the meeting just now."
Cheng Xuqing said, "What did you say in the meeting? You looked so serious."
Gu Shi recounted what Yang Jianguo had said in general, and then the whole dormitory became lively.
"Going to a magic academy? This is what I always dreamed of when I was a kid, wuwuwuwu..." Cheng Xuqing pretended to cry.
"Hey, stop acting, you're crying so disgustingly." Qi Yu threw his cushion over there, then turned around and asked Gu Shi, "What do you think? Do you want to go?"
"Well, I plan to participate." Gu Shi nodded.
"Gu Shi, study hard and come back to teach me magic when the time comes." Cheng Xuqing said as he threw the cushion back, but it was caught by Qi Yu.
"Hehe, I missed it. You are not from the same department, how can you study?" Qi Yu said.
Zhao Zhize advised, "Don't be so impulsive. Think carefully before making a decision. The registration deadline isn't until August. Think about it for a few days. It will be too late to regret it then."
Gu Shi knew that Zhao Zhize was concerned about him, so he answered seriously: "Okay, I understand. I will think about it carefully."
While a few people were joking and playing, there was a knock on the dormitory door.
"Who is it?" Zhao Zhize walked over and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was an unfamiliar boy wearing a red volunteer vest. He said, "This is Cheng Xuqing, Zhao Zhize, Gu Shi, and Qi Yu, right? There's a letter for you."
After handing the letter to Zhao Zhize, he left.
"Where did the letter come from?" Gu Shi asked curiously.
"It seems to be sent by our parents." Zhao Zhize took his letter and looked at it, then said.
"Let me see, let me see." Hearing this, Cheng Xuqing immediately came over.
Zhao Zhize handed him Cheng Xuqing's letter, then gave the other two envelopes to Gu Shi and Qi Yu, "Here, these are yours."
As soon as Gu Shi got the letter, he couldn't wait to open it. The envelope was a thick stack. In addition to the letter paper, Gu's father and mother also put a lot of photos in it.
Gu Shi opened the letter, and every stroke of the letter was filled with the deep love and care of a parent for their child. They told him to take care of himself while he was away, but also said they were doing well at home and asked him not to worry, as they would wait for him to return.
He flipped through the stack of photos again, and looking at his smiling parents in the photos, Gu Shi couldn't help but feel a little sore in his nose.
He didn't feel it at ordinary times, but when he thought about being in a different world and it would take a long time before he could go back, even though he had just left home not long ago, he began to miss home and his parents.
This letter made Gu Shi more determined to learn magic. He wanted to complete the mission and go home.
It is not his style to stay in his comfort zone and wait for others to complete the task. He wants to become stronger and have the strength to protect himself and complete the task.
"Damn, this move by the school is really amazing. I really want to cry now." Cheng Xuqing said while sniffing.
"I want to go home. I miss my parents and my girlfriend." Qi Yu couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Suddenly, there were a lot of noisy noises coming from outside the dormitory building.
"...Mom, I want to go home, woo woo woo..."
"Dad, Mom, I love you!"
"Dad, just wait and see your son show off his might, hahahaha..."
"What are they doing? They are going crazy because of the letter." Qi Yu was a little confused.
"What are you talking about? Have you forgotten? Our school is being broadcast live on Tianmu. They are talking to people from Blue Star." Zhao Zhize explained.
"Yes, there was a live broadcast." Cheng Xuqing looked as if I hadn't expected this, then immediately ran downstairs and joined the chaotic crowd below.
Seeing Qi Yu still looking like a frostbitten cabbage, Zhao Zhize comforted him: "Okay, don't be sad. As long as we work hard, we will definitely be able to go home."
This farce-like shouting lasted for a long time. Even at night, Gu Shi could still hear shouting coming from outside from time to time.
The next day, the school took the opportunity to issue an announcement, stating that they would send a letter to everyone once a month so that everyone would not lose contact with their families.
After this wave of operations by the school, everyone's cohesion reached its peak. Everyone was looking forward to completing the task as soon as possible and going home. The original uneasy atmosphere was also greatly alleviated.
