Chapter 554

This girl really doesn't feel a bit of heartache when using materials.

Shaking his head, Qin Feng vanished on the spot.

After a ripple in space, Qin Feng returned to his bedroom once more.

Stretching his body a little, he fell into a deep sleep right then.

When he woke up, the sky outside the window had become hazy, the clouds hanging very low.

After washing up, Qin Feng headed toward the classroom.

By the time Qin Feng arrived, the classroom was already full of people.

And every single classmate was listless.

The main quest was still tempting enough — they had all pulled an all-nighter.

Each and every one of them was sporting huge dark circles under their eyes.

At this moment, the classmates all complained:

"What's the school thinking, suddenly calling an assembly? Our Dragon Nation has so many BUFF bonuses, time is tight!"

"Exactly! I just finished the main quest and was about to go run a Secret Realm, then suddenly we have to gather — the girl I had a date with is a total bust!"

"Heh, you're all trash. I'm a member of Wugui, currently helping big shot Tyrant repair the moat!"

"Wow, how did you join Wugui? Got any insider info?"

"Suggest you go ask Zhao Xiaoxue in the class next door…"

"……"

……

Listening to the students' chatter, Qin Feng frowned slightly as well.

This assembly really was somewhat out of the ordinary.

At this moment, accompanied by the crisp click of high heels, the female teacher walked in slowly.

After the female teacher arrived, the entire classroom instantly fell silent.

She cleared her throat, sweeping her gaze over all the students.

Her expression solemn, she said gravely:

"Time is tight right now, so I'll keep it brief."

"According to intel from the Federal Military Department, unlike before, the Dark Army in the north has recently carried out a series of activities — it seems they're plotting something!"

"Therefore, the Federation has activated the emergency protocol."

"……"

At these words, all the students' weariness was swept away in an instant.

Their expressions were more solemn than ever before.

Emergency protocol!

Under Blue Star's strategy of every citizen being a soldier, students are far more than mere students.

In other words, when they're needed on the battlefield, even the most trashy Tier 1 lord has to charge in!

The female teacher sighed and explained:

"Everyone, don't worry too much — the situation at the front line isn't that dire yet. But one thing is certain: this year, the number of people forcibly stationed at the border will definitely increase!"

"The school plans to take everyone to the front line for an internship. I hope you all can take it to heart, learn earnestly — at the very least—"

"Gain a little more experience, so that in the future… you'll have one more chance of staying alive!"

"……"

……

The classroom was exceptionally silent. Qin Feng pondered briefly.

Memories of his past life flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

Ever since Blue Star was invaded by the various Catastrophes a hundred years ago, humanity had lost control of Blue Star.

Even now, humanity had only reclaimed less than a quarter of the land.

The rest remained occupied by all manner of terrifying Catastrophe creatures.

And one of the duties of a human lord was this: after graduating, their territory would descend directly onto Blue Star to garrison a region.

This was also the purpose behind the Human Alliance's training of students.

However, students were protected in safe zones from birth — completely flowers in a greenhouse, utterly unaware of how cruel the outside world was.

But as a reborn, Qin Feng also knew that humanity had never truly defeated the various Catastrophes.

They were merely siphoning Blue Star's energy.

In the endless darkness, all manner of Catastrophe creatures had grown powerful beyond human imagination.

And decades of stability had made the human race somewhat numb and complacent.

A few years later, when the various Catastrophes disaster strikes again, humanity's defenses would appear tiny, fragile, and utterly unable to withstand a single blow.

When that time came, it would be a scene straight out of hell.

As these thoughts ran through his mind, Qin Feng's expression grew solemn.

Looks like it's his butterfly effect again — in his past life, the Dark Army hadn't attacked the border at this time.

And at this moment, the female teacher confirmed the final internship location.

"Our internship site is in area a129. The lord responsible for its defense is a Tier 4 lord — a senior of yours who graduated not long ago."

"Everyone must cherish this opportunity, learn with humility, and strive to become powerful lords who garrison a region, just like her!"

"……"

……

When the female teacher's words fell, the classmates all snapped out of their shock.

Not only were they unafraid, they burst into cheers.

"Wow, that's awesome, right? We can finally go out and take a look!"

"Yeah, I've been stuck in the city for sixteen years, I can finally go see the outside world!"

"Haha, disasters and monsters beyond the domain, are you ready to be slaughtered by me?"

"Hehe, once we're outside, don't you dare steal my monsters! Killing monsters in reality earns you Federation points!"

"……"

The classmates chattered away, every one of them in a great mood.

The Human Alliance's protection of its students is quite decent—every major city is an absolute safe zone.

The monsters in reality, the students had only ever seen them on TV.

But after a few days of the game, each of them had gotten cocky, thinking they were very strong.

Seeing this scene, the female teacher could only helplessly let out a soft sigh.

A bunch of little princesses raised in a greenhouse…

Hopefully this practical training can broaden their horizons.

Listening to their chatter, Qin Feng was equally speechless.

Heh.

627—don't even compete for monsters?

How can every single one of them be this full of themselves?

Setting everything else aside, the best-developed among today's students are Tier 2 lords.

They're only slightly tougher physically than ordinary people.

Any random Tier 3 monster would wipe the floor with them.

Qin Feng shook his head, too lazy to bother with this group of starry-eyed students.

He pondered for a moment—area a129…

Why does it sound a bit familiar?

……

At the same time.

In a lightless, pitch-dark region.

Countless hideous humanoid figures were gathering.

They came from various countries, their clothing styles wildly different, but they all shared one common trait—emitting a piercing, evil aura from their entire bodies.

Dark Ones.
