Lin Xu was teleported out of the island's main space and then walked out of the empty classroom.
He plans to go to the seed market.
Only by turning the money in your hands into seeds can you leverage the fertile soil created by accumulation and earn more money.
However, just as he was walking through a quieter area on the second floor, two tall boys suddenly came out and blocked his way.
Lin Xu frowned:
"You two are Gao Lin and Gao Feng from the next class?"
The two tall boys smiled and nodded.
"Lin Xu, my brother and I have heard that you have also awakened your island, so we will both be commoner island lords from now on. That's why we came here specifically to form an alliance with you!"
"An alliance?"
Lin Xu's heart stirred.
Commoner island lords do indeed frequently form alliances to deal with the dangers that follow during the testing phase.
However, under pressure from nobles and large corporations, such alliances are not very effective.
However, even if they were to form an alliance, these two brothers surnamed Gao should have sought out some commoner island owners with great potential. Why would they choose a "weakling" like him with an island that is only a hundred meters long and wide?
Lin Xu:
"How do you want to form an alliance?"
Gao Feng chuckled:
"We want to share the coordinates of our islands, and in the future, list our islands in the same space, fight together against enemies, and develop together!"
"According to the textbooks, islands can indeed move, but... sharing coordinates? That would be tantamount to completely exposing one's location..."
Lin Xu's heart stirred. Looking at Gao Feng and Gao Lin, he felt that there was some other meaning hidden in their expressions and actions.
For example, the two people have inadvertently separated, blocking the exit paths on both sides.
Lin Xu had some guesses in his mind, but he said calmly:
"Sharing coordinates is a great idea. In that case, why don't you share your coordinates with me first!"
Upon hearing Lin Xu's agreement, Gao Feng and Gao Lin initially showed a hint of joy, especially Gao Lin, whose face also held a hint of smugness and disdain.
But when they heard Lin Xu's suggestion that they should also hand over their coordinates, Gao Feng and Gao Lin's expressions became somewhat unnatural.
Gao Feng coughed and said with an awkward laugh:
"Lin Xu, our two islands are still moving, and we need to gather in one place as soon as the newbie testing period begins, so our coordinates are still uncertain. Why don't you tell us your coordinates first, and we'll meet up in your space then!"
A sharp glint flashed in Lin Xu's eyes.
It seems he had a good idea.
These two brothers surnamed Gao have ill intentions.
The people who want to target him now, besides the head of student affairs, are also...
Lin Xu suddenly said:
"Did Chen Shaojie send you?"
How did you know?!
Gao Lin, standing nearby, was shocked and blurted out a question.
"Shut up!"
Gao Feng anxiously wanted his brother to shut up, but it was too late.
Lin Xu's expression changed, revealing a chilling smile:
"Looks like Chen Shaojie really did send you? You want to find out my coordinates so you can ambush me during the newbie phase?"
When they realized their plan had been exposed, Gao Feng and Gao Lin stopped wearing their fake, friendly smiles.
Gao Lin's expression was unfriendly, while Gao Feng, like a smiling tiger, squinted and stared at Lin Xu with a grin.
However, there was no hint of a smile in Gao Feng's eyes; instead, there was a sinister glint in them.
"Kid, you're a top student indeed, you spotted the problem so easily!"
Lin Xu shook his head casually:
"No need to praise me like that. It's because you're all too stupid and incompetent that you can't do high-IQ work!"
Gao Lin's face immediately turned furious:
"You little brat, you're asking for it!"
Lin Xu squinted at Gao Lin, too lazy to pay him any attention, and simply said to Gao Feng, who was leading the group:
"You dare to come looking for me? You can't be using just one trick, can you? I haven't revealed my coordinates yet. Are you trying to use the island lord's rules to challenge me? Trying to force me to give up my benefits?"
The so-called island rules are a certain set of competitive rules allowed by the island's owner's space.
Because dark creatures exist in the island's main space, hunting them can yield valuable raw materials and souls, while the island will also be attacked by these dark creatures from time to time.
Therefore, within the island's main space, the development of military power and the enhancement of combat effectiveness are encouraged.
Combat capability development is the third direction for island development, in addition to the two major development directions of "spiritual plants" and "mineral veins".
In particular, regardless of the direction of development, the island space strongly encourages the island owner to improve their combat power as much as possible, and also provides many spiritual fruits and mineral essences to enhance the island owner's strength.
For island owners of the same period and rank, the island owner space also establishes so-called "island owner rules," which allow island owners to compete with each other under certain conditions, especially through armed duels.
This competition prohibits killing and causing permanent damage, and also has certain rules for avoiding combat, such as prohibiting many island lords from targeting one person continuously, and prohibiting high-level island lords from targeting low-level island lords.
However, every rule has loopholes. Even if the island rules try to prevent individual island owners from being maliciously targeted, there are still many ways to force others to fight.
Hearing Lin Xu's words, Gao Lin was startled again, staring at Lin Xu with wide eyes:
"How do you know about our affairs?! Is there a traitor among us?!"
Gao Feng, standing nearby, couldn't help but slap his brother on the head in frustration:
"You idiot! It was just the two of us brothers who planned this. If you didn't betray us, then did your older brother betray us?!"
Gao Lin was stunned, covering his head and looking completely bewildered.
Gao Feng turned to look at Lin Xu:
"As expected of Lin Xu, a top student, you're really smart! Since you know what we're thinking, you should understand that you don't have any other choice right now, right?"
Lin Xu looked at Gao Feng with a cold expression:
"If the island lord wants to initiate a duel outside of space, there needs to be a wager. You are clearly trying to forcefully take action against me now, so are your wagers ready?"
Gao Feng laughed heartily:
"Of course! We know that the talented Lin would never wager the island itself, but we know that you just received a student loan, and we also have 200,000, so we've set up a money bet. If you can beat us, we'll give you that money!"
Lin Xu's eyes flickered.
Only Teacher Wang and the Dean of Students knew about his loan.
Teacher Wang naturally trusted him completely.
This means that the head of the teaching department was also involved in this matter and leaked the information to Gao Feng and the other person.
After thinking about it, Lin Xu felt that the head of the teaching department probably didn't notify the Gao brothers directly, but rather leaked the information to Chen Shaojie.
Then Chen Shaojie told the Gao brothers about the 200,000 yuan.
That head of the teaching department was definitely no good.
Lin Xu secretly remembered this debt, and he was determined to make that head of the teaching department pay the price later.
As for the Gao brothers, Lin Xu revealed a meaningful smile.
"You two challenged me, not just to take all my money, right? You also want to completely injure me, so that I can't participate in competition and construction during the newbie period, making it easier for Chen Shaojie to search my island's location and then eliminate me?"
Gao Feng nodded and gave a thumbs up:
"Smart! So you want to refuse the fight, or just admit defeat and pay up?"
Lin Xu shook his head:
"I'm not paying! I've taken such a huge risk, and you're still dreaming of an equal fight? If you want to fight me, you'll have to pay more!"
