Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 144 The First in the Neighborhood
"You keep an eye on it for now," Wang Jun whispered, then went to the bedroom.

Lin Yi leaned back in her chair, her head tilted to the side, as if she had fallen asleep.

He felt a pang of panic, quickly walked over, and checked her breathing.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was still breathing, but it seemed he had fainted.

He carried his wife back to bed and carefully tidied her up.

Wang Jun suddenly stopped, looked up, and a look of disbelief and ecstasy flashed in his eyes. "This is..."

"Holy crap, bro, there's even a time-travel reward! Holy crap, there are even ranking bonuses!" Qin Ziwu jumped up, his face full of surprise. "Bro, you must be number one!"

Qin Ziwen sat on the sofa with a slight frown.

Because the small orb of light from his home floating in front of him suddenly displayed a familiar yet unfamiliar text.

He was familiar with it because he saw it every day when he woke up.

It feels unfamiliar because it was actually provided by the community.

Moreover, there are differences in the details between the two.

[Homestead Settlement: Congratulations to the esteemed Level 2 Homestead Owner for successfully passing the beginner period and officially becoming the Homestead Owner, unlocking more card types]

[Currently available: Hunting Ladder feature]

[Settling your performance during the beginner stage: Combat S, Development S, Wealth SSS++]

Overall Rating: SSS

[Current community ranking: 1]

[Reward: 1 random level 2 red card]

"Yes, it's number one."

Qin Ziwen looked at Qin Ziwu, "What's your ranking?"

"Fifty-fourth." Qin Ziwu chuckled. "I'd be more than satisfied if I could get a free card."

Qin Ziwen said, "Luckily you used it, otherwise if you had missed this opportunity, you would have lost one card while others would have gained one, which would have been two cards in total."

The community feed is still flooded with posts, lines of red text appearing one after another.

[This stage is a challenge level]

[Limited Time Offer: 30 Days]

[Challenge Objective: Complete the Hunting Ladder missions in the neighborhood ≥ 10 times (≥ 2 Level 2 missions)]

Please complete the objective within the time limit. Failure to do so will result in permanent relocation to this world.

Upon seeing this, Qin Ziwen was stunned. Permanently stuck in that world?
So, is this considered a punishment or a reward?

Could there be some people who get tired of time travel and want to stay here permanently?

Qin Ziwen was deep in thought, but the community continued to flood the screen with posts.

[The current community has been merged: Total number of survivors: 2025; Number of activated homesteads: 82]

[Homestead Blessing: Hunting miracles belong only to the brave]

After seeing the flood of posts on his social media, Qin Ziwen rubbed his temples.

"In other words, the two communities have now been integrated."

A weight settled in his palm, and a crystal card radiating red light appeared in his hand.

[Function Card] Level 2 Guild.

Qin Ziwen silently recited "use".

[Activation Feature: Level 2 Guild]

[Privileges elevated, current privileges: Level 2 (3/4)]

[Level 2 Guild: You can choose a Homeowner to form an alliance. The current maximum number of alliances is 20. After forming an alliance, the following functions will be unlocked: Goodwill Alliance, Shared Buildings (1)]

[Benevolent Alliance: When an ally harbors strong ill intentions, the alliance automatically ends and alerts the remaining members.]

【Shared Building (1): The guild leader can enable any building to share mode and open an entry channel inside the ally's home. During the sharing period, the building's characteristic level increases by 1. The current number of shared buildings that can be enabled is 1】 This benevolent alliance is indeed useful. In this environment, the most difficult thing to distinguish is the good and evil of others.

With a goodwill alliance, at least the infighting among allies can be saved, allowing more energy to be focused on external threats.

The only drawback is the limited number of slots; even a level 2 guild only has 20 slots.

Then there's shared buildings, which is easy to understand.

Once sharing is enabled, access to the building will appear in the homes of other members.

This passage only leads into the corresponding building; once exited, one can return to their own home via the same route.

That's a good point; Qin Ziwen set the shared building as the Sky Star Arrow Corridor.

From now on, they can practice archery directly inside the archery gallery without having to come to their own homes.

After finishing their practice, they returned the same way and went home.

【1级天星箭廊：2+1级弓术增益、2+1级体力恢复、1+1级稳心宁神】（特殊效果：箭矢无限生成，不可带出箭廊）

"All attributes are increased by one?" Qin Ziwen was somewhat surprised.

He initially thought it would be a random attribute level increase of one, but it turned out that all attributes were increased by one level.

That would be a terrifying boost.

It can be described as a training course for top archers.

At this moment, a commotion gradually arose outside the residential area.

"Let's go, let's go out." Qin Ziwen took the three-pronged fork that Li Tieshan had just forged. This steel fork was made entirely of pure steel, and the three spikes at the top were exaggeratedly long, weighing about forty pounds, which was just right for use.

Du Yu was fully armed, wearing mountain-patterned armor, a mask, a monk's knife at his waist, and a spear in his hand, following behind Qin Ziwen.

Footsteps came from outside the door. When the door was opened, Li Yue, Deng Guang, Zhao Pu and several others were gathered at the entrance.

"team leader."

"Mr. Qin."

"Brother Qin."

Qin Ziwen looked at them, "The new residents have arrived?"

Zhao Pu nodded solemnly, "Mr. Qin, the new residents have arrived. It's a new house, and the exterior doesn't look like a residential building. They shouldn't be complete newcomers."

"Let's go downstairs and check the situation first." Qin Ziwen pondered. The windows in his house were all covered by expansion cards, which improved security at the time, but now that he had the safe house capability, it was somewhat useless. He planned to rearrange the house and leave the balcony area empty, so that it would be convenient to observe the outside from time to time.

Stepping out of the emergency exit and onto the outside of the building, a wave of heat hits you.

It was dry and sweltering, with temperatures at least ten degrees higher than in the forest. Although there was only one sun in the sky, its rays were blinding.

Li Yue was somewhat shocked: "There's only one sun, so we shouldn't be on that planet anymore."

"It's amazing, unimaginable."

As Qin Ziwen emerged from the stairwell, he looked north. To the north, beyond the courtyard wall, stood a five-story teaching building.

The exterior walls of the teaching building are mottled, and there are still many dried bloodstains on them.

The most conspicuous thing was the silent students in the corridor.

Compared to the residential area, the surviving students in the school building were noticeably more united.

Qin Ziwu said, "It should be a university teaching building, not a high school one."

Zhao Pu muttered to himself, "It's hard to imagine what they went through; the outer walls of the corridor were covered in blood."

Outside the north gate railing, a man who looked like a teacher stood behind the gate, his voice booming: "Do you have a leader?"

At the foot of the second building, Zou Jianghe straightened his suit and strode forward.

But not long after, he came back with a dark expression.

He looked at the group of high-ranking members of the Alliance, his gaze sweeping over Zhang Bo, Huang Tao and others: "You're quite the hidden talent. I never expected that there would be someone ranked number one in our community. Come out yourself, that expert. We want to see the number one in our community."

Why isn't Zou Jianghe in first place?
Huang Tao was somewhat surprised. If it weren't for Zou Jianghe, a figure would have popped into his mind.

Zhang Bo's eyes flickered with surprise and uncertainty.

The two exchanged a glance, and simultaneously thought of the same name!
