Why didn't anyone tell me this is a parallel world?

Chapter 284: Tree Planting Spring Outing

As soon as the green train started, you could see a lot of city scenery along the way. At noon, the train staff delivered meals to the students who did not reserve seats in each carriage.

Students who dine sitting in the window aisle will find that there are fewer and fewer buildings in their field of vision, and that the buildings are getting lower and lower in height.

The urban scenery gradually changes from hundred-meter-high skyscrapers to town buildings more than ten or twenty meters high, followed by vague rural bungalows, occasionally interspersed with a few rural two-story villas with large courtyards of several acres of land.

Then, there is the vast land covered with and then melting snow. As the sun sets, the temperature gradually rises, and the thermometer slowly rises in the direction of the green train.

Xia Liuying was not idle all day. Although several seniors from the Student Union's Decision-making Department had returned from special training, President Lu Yuanjun probably got used to using her and had not let go of her status as a tool.

Even on the train, Xia Liuying was running errands for President Lu Yuanjun while performing management duties and patrolling several carriages.

This is to prevent some students from being dissatisfied with the train environment and misusing their supernatural powers to get angry, or having conflicts with roommates over the issue of a four-person compartment, leading to quarrels and fights. By the way, we can also keep an eye on some habitual offenders to make sure they don't habitually release their supernatural powers even after changing places.

It was not until nightfall that Xia Liuying finally calmed down. She made a cup of tea, sat by the window, and admired the night scenery.

It seemed to me that since dusk, I hadn't seen any buildings for a long time. There was no light from humans, and the stars hanging in the sky at night were very bright and beautiful.

When all the cars on the train turn off the lights at a scheduled time, you can see more clearly through the spotless and transparent glass windows.

After a long time, when Qiu Xiaoyun came over yawning and rubbing his eyes to ask Xia Liuying if she wanted to sleep, Xia Liuying came back to her senses and answered with a smile.

When they returned to the box, the Wolf King had already fallen asleep on his small blanket. During the day, he accompanied Xia Liuying in patrolling the box. Several times, he discovered something wrong in advance and helped Xia Liuying stop those things in time.

At the end of the day, Xia Liuying was not too tired from working as a double tool, but the Wolf King had consumed a lot of energy.

Du Liyue was still reading a book by the night light beside the bed, and no one knew how long she would read.

Jin Linglong finished washing up early and lay down on the bed. When Xia Liuying also finished washing up and lay down, Jin Linglong on the opposite side looked over and couldn't help laughing.

For Miss Jin, a bed that is more than one meter wide may indeed be too small. The most interesting thing is that she can see Xia Liuying, who is less than two meters away from her, just by turning her head.

It's a wonderful feeling.

There was no conversation that night. Without knowing when, the four of them fell into a deep sleep on the smooth and motionless train. They fell asleep peacefully listening to the breathing of the other three people.

The next morning, Xia Liuying opened her eyes at the reminder of her biological clock. The other three people had not woken up yet. She jumped off the bed gently without making any sound.

Not long after she finished washing up, Jin Linglong woke up, much earlier than when she was at school. Perhaps it was the influence of the unfamiliar environment that made her not sleep so peacefully.

She took over Xia Liuying's place to wash up, followed by Qiu Xiaoyun and Du Liyue. One was a late riser by nature, and the other got up late because he stayed up late reading.

Ten minutes or so passed without any trouble. After all, there was only one private bathroom, which could only accommodate one person at a time.

Xia Liuying took out her cell phone and made a breakfast reservation, then she heard some arguments coming from a soft sleeper compartment not far away.

Sighing and putting down the phone, Xia Liuying walked over and smiled to help a few classmates negotiate in a friendly manner. The argument disappeared, and everyone solved the washing problem harmoniously and lovingly.

Not everyone can be successfully arranged in the same soft sleeper compartment with the classmates they want. Even if they are in the same soft sleeper compartment with the classmates they want, there is no guarantee that there are only the classmates they want and no one else.

When Xia Liuying returned, breakfast had already been served. Since everyone was a superpower, there was no need to lose their appetite. Everyone had a good appetite and could eat several cows raw.

Xia Liuying looked out through the window and saw yellow sand flying all over the sky. She didn't know at what time last night the train had reached the desert.

Miraculously, this railway track was not covered by yellow sand, allowing the green train to run on it.

Teacher Chu Jue didn't do anything on the train, and he didn't even leave his conductor's lounge, where he stayed for a day and a night.

Every time Xia Liuying passed by, she saw him lying there bored and watching TV... Wait, why is there such a big TV in the conductor's lounge?

Two minutes past ten in the morning, the green train stopped at a base built in the desert.

Following the guidance of the train broadcast, the students carried their suitcases, got off the train, clenched their lips in the wind and sand that cut like knives, and looked around in the scorching heat.

As the temporary assistant of the Student Union President Lu Yuanjun, Xia Liuying had the honor of standing in the front row and saw a group of people wearing uniforms the color of yellow sand walking out of the spherical base building.

It's like an inverted hemisphere built on the desert.

The middle-aged man in the lead had chapped lips and a face that looked as if it had been dried up by the wind and sand. He extended his hand to Principal Shi Yunhe in front of him and said, "Welcome to Greening Renovation Base No. 12. I'm Lu Wei, the person in charge here. It's windy here, so come in first and talk."

No one wanted to exchange pleasantries in such a harsh environment. Principal Shi Yunhe shook hands with Lu Wei, the person in charge, and then directed the students to enter the base.

Xia Liuying, together with other student union members, followed the base staff and guided the students to the dormitories that had been assigned in advance to put their luggage away first.

Thanks to having been working with President Lu Yuanjun recently, especially after dealing with a lot of documents related to the Arbor Day Spring Outing, Xia Liuying has gained a certain understanding of the content of this event.

The content of the Arbor Day Spring Outing is that all teachers and students in the school plant trees in the desert to contribute to the country's desert afforestation project.

It seemed a bit deliberate and eye-catching, a group of young masters and young ladies who did not eat grains actually went to plant trees in an uninhabited desert.

The customized green train, the various facilities and equipment on it, and the various high-end ingredients provided to supply this group of young masters and young ladies, etc., all these squanderings seemed to be dozens of times more than what they had invested in afforestation in the desert in the past few days.

To put it bluntly, if these young masters and young ladies could save the money for this trip, it would definitely be more useful than just planting a few trees for show.

But the truth is, although this spring outing cost a lot, the sponsorship and charitable donations provided by the families behind each student, as well as various mutually beneficial cooperation, made the person in charge, Lu Wei, wholeheartedly and sincerely welcome their arrival.

What’s more important is that the more than 2,000 students sent here this time are not just powerless young masters and young ladies who can only be taken care of by others.

They are still more than two thousand people with special abilities.

More than 2,000! Superpowers!

Although there are five or six hundred of them who are novice psychics who have been in the industry for no more than half a year, they are not low-end psychics with ratings of only BCD!

A high-scoring ability rating is enough to eliminate the time disadvantage of first-year students. For example, for the same water-related ability, a third-year student with a B-grade rating, no matter how familiar he is with the ability control, cannot say that the amount of water he can condense in one day can exceed that of a first-year student with an S-grade rating.

The gap in some things exists from the beginning and cannot be bridged by hard work - but hard work is useful after all, at least more useful than those who don't work hard.

Base No. 12 is very large and can easily accommodate more than teachers and students from Sungkyunkwan High School. However, it is not big enough to give these people the same preferential treatment as those in the outside world.

——It was still a four-person dormitory, arranged the same as the soft sleeper compartment on the train. A day and a night together on the green train was like allowing everyone to adapt in advance. Many people asked to change roommates at this time.

The bedroom arranged for everyone at Base No. 12 was not much bigger than a train compartment. Four iron beds with a bed above and a table below took up half of the room, and the remaining half was a specially widened bathroom - it could accommodate two people washing at the same time.

The pressure of washing and brushing teeth has been relieved by half at once, which is really cause for celebration.

After looking at their dormitories, many first-year students couldn't help but ask the staff why there were no private bathrooms in the dormitories.

Let’s not talk about when we were on the train. It was only a day and a night, and even if we didn’t take a shower, it was not unbearable for everyone.

But we have already arrived at Base No. 12, and we will have to stay here for another week. The small space in the dormitory is tolerable, but it is too uncomfortable to have no bathroom, especially after just coming in from the windy and sandy outside. Many people feel that their bodies are full of sand and want to wash up before lunch.

However, the staff told the first-year students apologetically that because Base 12 is located deep in the desert and is an official project with confidentiality requirements, no one can approach it without specific permission. Even the train carrying supplies only comes once a week.

Both water and material replenishment are very troublesome, so everyone in the base is required to save water and take a bath in the base bathhouse to collect washing waste water for other purposes.

In addition, not only do people need to go to a fixed bathhouse to wash, the water supply time in the base is also fixed: 6:8-11:1 in the morning, 8:10-: in the afternoon, and :-: in the evening. Water is only available during these three time periods.

At other times, not only is the bathhouse closed and you can't take a shower, but even the washroom in the dormitory has no water available.

If you need to wash or take a shower, everyone must grasp the time well. If you miss it, you will remain dirty for at least half a day.

This cruel news directly hit these first-year students. As young masters and young ladies who were carefully cultivated by various families since childhood, even some of the less favored ones in the family had never experienced such harsh living conditions.

Training in school is certainly hard, and there may be various seemingly embarrassing situations that make these students look embarrassed, but that is based on sufficient logistical support.

The one second they were training hard and in a mess, the next second countless waiters were serving them to wash away those messy appearances.

Their dishonourableness is only temporary, and they can restore their elegant and noble personal image in the blink of an eye.

Yet here, none of them could bring their own waiters, maids, or anyone else to take care of them; they had to rely on themselves.

Perhaps this is not a big deal, but what is even more cruel is that not only do they have to live in a four-person dormitory that is not even as big as their own bedroom, but they also have to compete with others for the right to use the bathroom.

Once they miss the washing time, they have to maintain their disheveled appearance until the next time water is supplied.

If you want to take a shower, you can only go to a public bathroom during specific time periods and face everyone.

Although most of them do take a bath alone at home, in that case, there are maids and waiters to provide services, not like this one where everyone is naked and washes themselves in the peripheral vision of others.

It was pure torture.

The second and third grade students had been here once before and had a basic understanding of the place, so they were quite calm and watched the first graders jumping up and down there in silence, as if they were seeing their former selves.

What a joke! If this situation could be changed, they wouldn't have waited until now to protest. What the first graders are doing now are what every class of Sungkyunkwan High School students have done in the past. This is probably some kind of inheritance.

This is also the reason why Sungkyunkwan High School brings students here regularly every year.

If one wants to become a star hero, it is not enough to just maintain a high status and position. They must learn to bend down and greet the ordinary, common and mediocre people who make up the vast majority of this world.

They must learn to give up some things in order to grow, such as their decency.

To learn, to understand, to experience, to integrate into the lives of ordinary people, and even to accept ways of living that are inferior to those of ordinary people.

No star hero's mission can be accomplished surrounded by flowers and people.

In most cases, they have to lean into the dark quagmire themselves before they can rescue others who are sinking in the quagmire.

All the beautiful scenes presented by Star Man are based on endless pain and blood. If one cannot endure the pain and torture under his feet, he will never be able to stand up straight and accept the glory above.
