I can find treasures in my dreams.

The breathtakingly beautiful scenery of Emerald City completely stunned the freshmen of Kunlun College.

Despite the abundance of videos online, including holographic videos, the experience of seeing something in person is completely different from watching it.

"Oh my God!"

"beautiful!"

"Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful!"

"Are those 'Dream Butterflies' flying above Emerald City? There seem to be several times more of them than shown in the video."

"I heard that the Dream Butterfly is an exotic species that Mr. Raven found in the Green Sea. They are born with the ability to give people beautiful dreams. These dreams are called 'Emerald Dreams' and have the magical power to heal the soul."

"Not everyone can experience the Emerald Dream. I heard that out of the more than 340 million residents of Emerald City, at most only 30 have experienced it, which is less than one-tenth of the population."

The dream butterfly that the students were discussing was a butterfly-shaped creature that emitted a faint glow throughout its body.

Ha Xiaolin turned to her friend and asked telepathically, "Wan Yu, have you ever experienced the Emerald Dream?"

Yang Wanyu nodded almost imperceptibly.

She experienced it not just once, but many times.

She visited Emerald City ten times, and about eight of those times, she would have dreams about emeralds while sleeping.

Sometimes in her dreams she becomes a dream butterfly, soaring through the green sea with a swarm of butterflies.

Sometimes she would transform into a giant green ivy, watching the various insect monsters around her.

In short, every experience was magical.

Yang Wanyu once asked her father why she was experiencing the Emerald Dream so frequently, since the permanent residents of Emerald City only experienced it once or twice at most.

Her father told her with a smile that there was a special power deep within her blood.

She instantly understood that this was another power she had inherited from her father.

at this time.

A flock of dream butterflies, numbering over three hundred, slowly flew past at a height of several tens of meters above.

Tiny, scattered scales fell from the fairy butterfly, reflecting a rainbow of colors.

Many students craned their necks to get a close look at the fairy butterfly.

The teachers did not urge the students, but simply let them watch, satisfying their curiosity first, before arranging the next activities.

Two seconds passed.

Several butterflies broke away from the group, flapping their three pairs of wings as they flew downwards.

The students immediately erupted in a great uproar.

"The Psylocke has arrived!"

"I heard that if someone is touched by a fairy butterfly, they will experience an emerald dream at night."

"I hope Psylocke will choose me."

Yang Wanyu looked up and had a strong intuition that the Spirit Butterfly was coming for her.

She decisively activated the Mystic Shadow Tree with her spiritual power, sending a message to the spirit butterflies—friends, please do not come over.

After experiencing the Emerald Dream, the Spirit Shadow Tree suddenly underwent a minor evolution, gaining the ability to communicate with the Spirit Butterfly.

After receiving the message, the phantom butterflies circled in the air once and then flew back to their group.

The students' disappointed sighs immediately filled the air.

Yang Wanyu's lips curled up slightly.

The teacher in charge called out at the right moment: "Alright, students, we have enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Emerald City. Now let's go to the temporary classroom to make the next arrangements."

Led by two soldiers, the students marched in a large group toward the makeshift classroom.

Everyone already knew that practical courses were not tourism courses, so visiting Emerald City was impossible. The department assigned work and study tasks to each student.

After the practical course, everyone must submit a detailed practical report.

According to the rules and regulations of Kunlun Academy, a score of 90 out of 100 is required to pass, so the academic pressure is extremely high, and no one dares to be slack off.

ten minutes later.

All students received their assignments.

Yang Wanyu and Ha Xiaolin were assigned to a plant laboratory to do odd jobs. A female researcher handed them a storage disk and smiled, "Both of you, there's a document here called 'Nine-Ring Grass.' You can spend two hours reading it to get the basic information. There are computers and smart glasses in the lab, so you can choose whichever reading tool you prefer."

The two girls readily replied, "Understood."

The Green Sea of ​​Tears is not only home to the Green Ivy; many other plants grow on it, which are technically called "epidurals," a typical tropical rainforest ecosystem.

As for storage disks, due to the rapid advancement of technology, the capacity of an ordinary storage disk is usually measured in "PB", and 1PB is equal to 1024TB.

This device can not only store data, but also has short-range, high-speed transmission capabilities, with speeds measured in terabytes (TB), thousands of times faster than the old Bluetooth.

Yang Wanyu picked up the smart glasses and put them on. He connected to the storage disk through the metal neural control and immediately saw a folder named "Nine-Ring Grass" containing hundreds of documents and video materials.

This is the daily routine of academic work; the ability to quickly acquire information is a fundamental skill that every researcher must master.

Yang Wanyu opened a file, her mind highly focused, her eyes moving rapidly, reading at an astonishing speed, her brain memorizing everything about the nine-ring grass at high speed.

Her reading speed is at least fifty times that of an average person.

This epiphytic plant has nine faint ring-shaped patterns naturally present on the surface of its leaves, hence its name, Nine-Ring Grass.

The active substances extracted from the nine-ring grass have a relatively strong hallucinogenic effect, but researchers have found that this hallucinogenic effect has a slight promoting effect on mental strength.

Drugs that stimulate mental growth have high value in any civilized world.

This alone shows that the nine-ring grass has great potential.

The project team's work is to cultivate *Gnaphalium affine*.

A few researchers not far away were discussing the "temporary workers" from Kunlun Academy.

“In recent years, our institute has received over a hundred interns, including both Chinese and foreign interns. I feel that Chinese interns are more useful.”

"I feel the same way. How should I put it, although the foreign interns are not much different in intelligence, their organizational discipline is obviously not as good as that of the Daxia interns."

"I believe that foreign interns do not understand that strong organizational discipline and a tenacious and pragmatic spirit are the fundamental reasons why Great Xia has created miracles in the fields of scientific research and industry, and ultimately became the only industrial country on Canglan Star."

"These foreigners like to do all sorts of messy things, like diversification and personalized seed oil, and they always like to make grand promises with a report."

"This should still be the lingering influence of the former Federation's ideology. The former Federation has been dissolved for more than a decade, but its ideology has deeply influenced billions of people. It is impossible to eradicate its influence in less than a few generations."

The researchers chatted for a while, then changed the subject.

“I saw an internal report last time. The average IQ and physical fitness of the new generation of Daxia people are 20% to 30% better than those of foreigners. According to this trend, Daxia people will be in a dominant position in all walks of life for a long time to come.”

"This is perfectly normal. Our Great Xia has been working hard for more than a decade to cultivate the next generation as a national-level project, and has provided the new generation with more than 200 billion doses of supernatural drugs in the form of welfare. Now it is time for our efforts to bear fruit."

"This project is indeed the most visionary and also the most expensive. Other regions outside of Daxia do not have this capability, and the gap between Daxia people and foreigners will become wider and wider in the future."

"Alright, alright, let's stop chatting and get back to work. According to the project schedule, we must find the reason for the genetic instability of the supernatural trait R414 within five days."

The researchers dispersed and began working as hard as oxen and horses.

After half an hour.

Yang Wanyu took off her smart glasses, intending to rest for three minutes to relieve her mental fatigue.

She turned to look at her friend, and was about to get up to pour a drink, and grab one for her friend as well.

The institute provides excellent benefits, including a variety of free energy drinks.

It's not like those "superficial energy, actually sugar water" products from before the era of natural disasters, but a beverage that truly and quickly eliminates fatigue while also having a mild nourishing effect.

Yang Wanyu took two steps and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

It was as if an extremely terrifying being was spying on us from the side, seemingly intent on devouring everything.

at the same time.

A commotion erupted inside the laboratory.

"Oh my God!"

"What's going on outside?"

Why has the sky turned blood red?

Yang Wanyu rushed to the French windows and looked up at the sky.

The sky, which was originally a pale green like jade, suddenly turned blood red, and the color seemed to be getting darker.

Without a doubt, something extraordinary has happened somewhere around Emerald City. (End of Chapter)
