After nightfall, Xia Fan opened his dimensional ring in his dormitory and took out a book.
This was the Golden Rule that Grandpa Blind Man had given him before he died. Opening the book, Xia Fan was puzzled by the blank pages. Grandpa Blind Man had said that this book was more important than his life, so why was there not a single word on it?
Xia Fan had tried countless methods, but no matter what he did, the Golden Rule book remained blank. There were no words or pictures on it. It was very strange.
The doorbell rang.
Xia Fan put the book back into his dimensional ring and opened the door. It was Spirit Bird, a guy with strange green hair, looking at him with a smile.
"Come in and have a seat," Xia Fan said hurriedly.
Although he and Spirit Bird were not in the same department, they still maintained a good friendship and often visited each other.
Spirit Bird sat on the sofa in the living room and took a glass of apple juice from Xia Fan. He drank half of it and put the glass on the coffee table.
Now, Xia Fan's wish had been fulfilled. He had moved into the Advanced Students' dormitory.
The advanced dormitory had two bedrooms and a living room. Other than the bedrooms, there was also a living room and a study. The living conditions were much better than the basic and intermediate students' dormitories.
Spirit Bird lived on the upper floor. Some of the best students in Xia Fan's batch had entered the advanced level in a short time, while most of the students were still struggling in the basic division.
"I'm leaving for the Elite League tomorrow, so I came to say goodbye," Spirit Bird said to Xia Fan with a shrug.
Xia Fan smiled. "You're showing off again. The Elite League is a good chance to earn points. Maybe when you come back, you'll have 100,000 points and graduate. It's a pity that the logistics department won't be going."
The Elite League referred to the Nebula Alliance Superpower School League.
In the Alliance, Blue Boiling Point specialized in training talents for the Special Task Force. Other than that, there was also the Warrior Soul Training Camp, which trained talents for the military, as well as many private and public schools. All of these schools were responsible for training people with superpowers.
In this day and age, superpower users were still very valuable. Not only did the Special Task Force and the military need superpower warriors, but also corporate security, the National Security Bureau, and all major intelligence agencies needed superpower users.
In the entire Alliance, there were tens of thousands of superpower schools of various sizes, and the Golden League was an important event that gathered the elites of the various schools for a month long competition.
Unfortunately, the other academies did not have a logistics department, so Blue Boiling Point's team for the league tournament consisted of four departments: commanding, combat, technical, and investigation. Xia Fan's logistics department was left alone in the barracks.
Nimble Bird said excitedly, "Even Commander Lan will be going this time. He is a legendary figure in the Agency of Special Affairs. His health has always been poor, so he doesn't like to move around. This is the first time he has personally led a team in his 14 years as commander."
Of course, Xia Fan knew that Lan Dun's condition was improving because it was his doing. However, he did not brag about it to everyone. Even his good friend, Spirit Bird, did not know about it.
After chatting for a while, Blackie and Du Xue also arrived. The two of them had been quite close recently. Blackie had a wretched image, and when he walked together with the beautiful Du Xue, it felt like a fresh flower was stuck in cow dung.
However, Xia Fan also knew that Blackie's family was very powerful. Perhaps that was why Du Xue had taken a liking to him.
As a friend, Xia Fan had always wanted to remind Blackie that Du Xue was a scheming girl. However, seeing Du Xue peeling grapes for Blackie and feeding it to him personally, and seeing the blissful expression on Blackie's face, he could not bring himself to say those words.
Forget it. One was willing to take the beating, and the other was willing to take the beating. Xia Fan did not know much about relationships, so he let them be.
The next morning, Xia Fan sent Nimble Bird and the others off. Before he left, he reminded Lan Dun again and again that he must receive treatment on time. Lan Dun was now in high spirits and did not take Xia Fan's advice to heart.
.....
Swoosh!
The destroyer carrying Lan Dun and thousands of teachers and students of Blue Boiling Point Training Camp rose into the air and quickly disappeared into the distance.
At the same time, outside the fence of the training camp, on a path with few pedestrians, an elderly couple was walking along the path with a mixed-blood hound.
The communication terminal on the old man's wrist vibrated. He raised his wrist and saw that it was a message he had just received. The message was short, with only five words.
"Lan Dun is on the ship."
Immediately, the old man's lips curled into a smile. He raised his head and looked in the direction where the destroyer had disappeared.
"How is it?" The old woman asked in a low voice. From her voice, she did not seem to be old.
"Lan Dun has left."
"Really?"
"I asked my spy to see Lan Dun board the ship with his own eyes before reporting to me. There should be no mistake."
"Hehe, this is the first time in 14 years that Lan Dun has left the training camp. As expected, you old fox guessed correctly."
The old man said disapprovingly, "When I heard that Lan Dun's health was improving, I knew that he would definitely go to the league tournament. After all, Lan Dun is different from the other members of the Lan family. His mind is with the Special Task Force, not here."
"Back then, when he was feeling unwell, he had no choice but to return to the training camp to recuperate. Now that his health has improved, the first thing he thought of was to return to the Special Task Force. This time, several members of the Special Task Force will be attending the league tournament, and Lan Dun can't wait to let them know that his health has improved. It can also be considered as paving the way for him to return to the Special Task Force in one or two years."
The old woman nodded lightly. "Not only has Lan Dun left, but most of the elite trainees and teachers of the training camp have also left. The only thing left behind is the logistics department that no one cares about. This is our chance."
Hmm …
The old man did not reply. He nodded lightly, and then the old couple continued their stroll along the forest road as if nothing had happened.
.....
On the night after Xia Fan sent off the Spirit Bird and Blackie, he found Fo You lying on a bench in the central courtyard of the advanced division, gazing at the stars.
"I haven't seen you all afternoon. Why are you here?" Xia Fan asked with a smile.
The design of the advanced division of the training camp was very special. It was a circular building with an atrium and a garden in the center. Whether it was living, living, learning, or training, everything revolved around this atrium. No matter which room of the advanced division you were in, you could see everything in the atrium at a glance. The architect seemed to have designed it this way.
As for the intermediate and elementary divisions, they were very far away from here. There was a large forest between them, so they had to take a hover car to get there.
Fo You sat up, laughed, and shrugged. "That Old Lan really knows how to make trouble for others. He went to the league tournament alone, but he asked me to help him take care of this place."
Xia Fan smiled. "You mean the garden?"
"Yes, Old Lan asked me to help him take care of this snow plum."
Xia Fan knew that the snow plum in the atrium garden was Lan Dun's favorite. He would personally come to water and fertilize it every morning and night.
However, after Lan Dun left, he actually asked Fo You to help him take care of the plants. This was quite interesting. Fo You was lazy and not a diligent person at all. It was better to let the old servant of the Lan family take care of the snow plum than him. Anyone in the camp was more reliable than Lan Dun.
Xia Fan didn't ask why. Fo You called him Old Lan all the time, and even Lan Dun's son, Lan Jian, called Fo You Little Master. The relationship between the two families must be special.
The strange thing was that Xia Fan had never heard of a family with the surname Fo in the Alliance.
Spirit Bird was one of the more experienced and knowledgeable people in the camp. Xia Fan once asked Spirit Bird about Fo You's family, but Spirit Bird just smiled and said nothing.
In short, Fo You was shrouded in a mysterious halo. Until now, Xia Fan still didn't know where this lazy guy came from.
"I'm exhausted today. Let's go to the hot spring together," Xia Fan said to Fo You.
Fo You looked at the snow plum garden beside him and then looked at Xia Fan. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it. Old Lan likes this thing, but I don't. Who cares? Let's go together."
.....
Another two days passed. In the evening, Xia Fan, Spirit Bird, and Hei Zi had a video call. After two and a half days of sailing, they had arrived at the venue of the league.
According to them, the league was very lively this time. Experts from all walks of life gathered, and if they got a good ranking, they could get points to speed up their graduation from the Blue Boiling Point Training Camp and become a real investigator.
Xia Fan was a little jealous of this.
Xia Fan gained freedom in the logistics department, but at the same time, he lost some opportunities. It couldn't be helped. As the saying goes, there are gains and losses.
Xia Fan's life was very regular. Soon after ending the video call, Xia Fan fell asleep on the bed. He had morning classes at five in the morning, so he made sure to rest for at least six hours every day.
In the middle of the night, Xia Fan suddenly felt someone patting him. He was startled and woke up from his dream. Then he heard Fo You's mysterious voice.
"Don't be nervous. It's me."
"What the hell are you doing in the middle of the night? I locked the door. How did you come in? You're like a ghost. There's no sound at all! "
"Shh, let's not talk about this. Hurry up and come with me to the patio."
"Why?"
"There was a sudden power outage. I have a bad feeling."
"Power outage!" Xia Fan shuddered. The training camp had three lines of electricity. Two came from the local power company, and one came from the training camp's own high-power power reserve station. How could there be a power outage all of a sudden?
The elevator was no longer working. Fu You and Xia Fan went downstairs along the emergency passageway and came to the patio in the middle of the yard. Fu You pulled Xia Fan into the small Snow Plum Garden and carefully looked around along the path in the garden.
"There's no problem." Fo You nodded and said, "Maybe I'm being paranoid. You're fast. Go and find out what happened. Why did the power outage suddenly happen? I'll stay here and wait for your news. Remember, be careful on the way. Be smart."
Xia Fan was stunned and puzzled. After the power outage, Fo You's first reaction was to come to the Snow Plum Garden. Was he going to guard it himself?
Lan Shield asked Fo You to take care of the Snow Plum Garden before he left. Was there something special about this place?
There was no time to think too much. Xia Fan nodded and said, "Well, the power reserve center is a little far from here. It will take a few minutes to go back and forth. Wait for my news."
After saying that, Xia Fan was about to sink down and tighten his legs. He was about to exert force.
At this moment, Xia Fan suddenly smelled a familiar and dangerous smell.
"There's a smell of blood." Xia Fan looked back, widened his eyes, and said to Fo You.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course. Don't forget, I have a superpower of smell."
"Son of a b * tch!" Fo You's face changed slightly, and he cursed in a low voice.
Then, he suddenly grabbed Xia Fan and rushed to the tallest Snow Plum Tree in the garden. He took out a miniature remote control from his arms and pressed the button on it.
Without a sound, the snow plum tree actually rose up!
It turned out that there was a lift under the tree. After the ground rose, there was a downward staircase.
