Arknights is too real, right?

As his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, Xia Feng quietly looked at the thin figure in the middle of the street through the glass door of the barbecue restaurant.

In the empty and dark streets, Xina would appear quietly every night and leave quietly before dawn. Xia Feng didn't know the meaning of her doing so, and she had no extra energy to delve into it.

This is a very subtle feeling.

Day and night seemed to divide his world into two halves, like two completely unrelated parallel lines that alternated between day and night.

During the day, his mind had to think about Black Feather's development trajectory, build a factory, select equipment, and formulate plans, including arranging for those little ones to go to school. At the same time, he also had to think about future plans, such as "hunting" in natural disaster areas, and more. Establishing alliances with distant powerful forces and so on.

All kinds of information firmly fixed him in the position of leader, making him closely connected with the world's economic system, technological level, laws and regulations, moral bottom line, etc.

But at night, his worldview was provoked again and again by more profound things.

That is the existence of this world that stands above the universal concept. Everything he does during the day may not be worth mentioning at all compared with what happens quietly at night.

Xia Feng had a premonition that when things hidden in the "night" of this world are exposed, existing concepts may be shattered to pieces.

But unfortunately, except for the black and white twins, he still knows nothing about these things.

The Witch Where Time Stands Still, The End and Beginning of Civilization, Ancient Stones, "Earth and Wind".

When these fragmentary paragraphs are connected into a straight line and truly presented before his eyes, he may feel that he is insignificant.

The image of Xina standing alone in the middle of the street was unspeakably strange, but he was not afraid of anything.

Rather than being afraid, it is better to say that he hopes that something will happen soon.

the next day.

Xia Feng discussed the details of this linkage with Lin Hai on the phone. After it was basically confirmed, Franka took Puda to Shengdi City.

In addition to Franka and Puda, Xia Feng also arranged for the three wolf brothers to accompany him. Coupled with the manpower arranged by the Haimen Gang, safety issues should be guaranteed.

Xia Feng doesn't need to worry too much about linking up with Xia Feng this time. He just needs to stay at the headquarters.

The biggest problem facing Kuroba now is lack of money, but fortunately with the support of the Rieye family and the Glasgow Gang, the pace of development will not be stopped because of lack of money. The light manganese ore business is somewhat weak as a means of making money quickly, but As long as the Origin Stone processing plant is built, the money will come in overwhelming amounts.

The most direct ones are the clusters of natural origin stones in his large suitcases that are about to become moldy.

The quantity given by [Greystone Metallurgy] was that approximately 300 finished S-grade source stones could be processed, but later Lao Pu looked at it and said that at least 400 could be processed.

It was impossible for Lao Pu to lie to him. It seemed that that damn Gray Stone Metallurgy not only relied on its monopoly to charge exorbitant prices, but also cheated people.

Xia Feng secretly made up his mind that as soon as Heiyu's Origin Stone processing plant was completed, he would go to Gaya Town with a machete and destroy the broken processing den.

400 finished source stones, if the average price is 300,000 tera coins, their value will exceed 100 million.

This big tonic pill can instantly restore Black Feather's blood. Then, Hei Yu will change from a city hunter to a "natural disaster hunter", and the real game will begin.

afternoon.

As the head of Black Feather, Xia Feng not only has to make money to support the family, but also cares about the personal situation of each member, which can be said to be heartbreaking.

But he himself quite likes such trivial matters. These people are like his biological brothers and sisters. Compared with those earth-shattering events, he prefers to see the happy smiles of these younger brothers and sisters.

Soon, Nancy tallied up all the things Ansel needed to prepare for admission.

Ansel had no previous experience of attending a prestigious school. His knowledge was basically self-taught. It was not feasible to go directly. There were only two channels for admission to the Royal Victoria College.

One is that the school actively invites students because of their outstanding performance in other schools.

The other is the recommendation of a famous teacher, which is the so-called letter of introduction. Of course, the Royal College is an internationally renowned school. It not only accepts Victorian citizens, but also foreigners, but the requirements are relatively high and the introducers are also more strict. Harsh.

Nancy put the information in front of Xia Feng.

"Boss, you have to find a way to get this letter of introduction. Ansel has no experience of going to school in Victoria, so direct application may be rejected."

"I see."

This is easy to understand. To put it bluntly, it's about finding a relationship. In Xia Feng's original world, this kind of thing was no stranger to him.

Every circle has explicit rules, such as registering in the hospital, waiting in line, waiting for expert consultation, doing some weird examinations, and having your wallet emptied out for no reason. This is what every ordinary person who is sick will experience.

From a hospital's point of view, this is true. Rules are necessary, and comprehensive examinations can effectively detect hidden diseases. However, such complicated rules are a bit confusing for ordinary people who are not adaptable for various reasons.

At this time, if you find a so-called "acquaintance" in this field, all the troubles will be solved easily. In your eyes, difficulties that are so complicated that you are overwhelmed, and even the whole family has no solution, in the eyes of an "acquaintance" are just a phone call away. thing.

It seems unfair, but it is not illegal or morally wrong. It is just normal operation in an unfamiliar field in the eyes of outsiders.

This "relationship" is ubiquitous in daily life. In addition to medical treatment, the most prominent one is going to school.

Medical treatment is about life and health. The relative rules and procedures can be said to be very strict. However, going to school is different from seeking medical treatment. This is not about life, but about the future. On the contrary, the "relationship" here is more loose.

Regardless of whether it is a royal academy or a fairy academy, as long as it is a place controlled by people, there must be "relationships".

And this kind of "relationship" certainly cannot trouble Xia Feng today.

At night, Kuroyu is the underground emperor of most of the southern region. During the day, he is also a trading magnate with a wide reach centered on Notting City. It would be too embarrassing if he could not even be a "connected person".

Xia Feng picked up the phone and took out the phone book.

For the next 40 minutes, he made seven or eight phone calls at once, including a call from General Gleason, Commander-in-Chief of the Border Military Region. Unfortunately, Gleason directly said on the phone, "Sorry, I don't know." If you know how to educate, find someone else.”

Finally, several important names were recorded in the phone book. After screening, Xia Feng finally identified two people.

The first person contacted by Nanfeng was named Willy. His identity was the deputy director of the General Teaching Office of the Royal Academy South School.

As for why Nanfeng found this person, it was because this Willy was from Notting City.

His younger brother is the director of the Notting City Security Bureau, and his brother-in-law is the deputy mayor of Notting City. It can be seen from the identity of each family member that this is a "connected household" of the family.

Of course, this Willy was not a noble, he was the deputy director of the Education Department, and the second person Xia Feng found through the phone call was the real noble.

This is the "relationship" that the Leaf family helped find. This man's name is Maren Legg, the eldest son of the Maren family, a first-level noble in the south. This Maren family is one of the major shareholders of the Royal Academy's South School.

That's right, as a prestigious school famous in Victoria and even the world, the Royal College was actually funded by the nobles.

However, tracing its origins, this is already a historical issue. Now the Royal College has received royal authorization and is the highest-level institution in the world as famous as Columbia University.
