Capítulo 1030: Chapter 1030: Missed Connections
Nian Shutong and his friends completed the enrollnt procedures and, along with three other slightly excited and innocent students, boarded a flying boat that seed prone to sinking in water, heading towards the place they would soon call ho.
anwhile, on the other side, Fu Yunhe had already arrived at the Boundless Cliff on the East Continent, feeling a sudden sense of familiarity as if he had returned to Blue Star.
Fried eggplant box, fried mushrooms, grilled cold noodles, big squid, barbecue, beer, whole roasted lamb, and milk tea.
“My madam… truly remarkable.”
He wasn’t sure how much ti Nian Shutong spent achieving all this, but he knew Nian Shutong had definitely been here.
Fu Yunhe changed into a plain outfit, donned a mask, and began mingling with the crowd, gathering information.
He disguised himself as soone also wanting to sell snacks, started asking around, and fortunately, the recipe wasn’t considered a big secret, so he quickly found the people who brought the recipe from the Western Continent.
“Are you the one looking to buy the recipe?”
“Yes.”
Fu Yunhe adopted a humble deanor, and the man opposite him wasn’t difficult to deal with. He opened a list in his hand and said, “Have a look yourself, what do you want to buy?”
“But let put it bluntly first, you can’t sell in this area, it’s full here. If you want to sell, find a different spot.”
“Don’t worry, I understand, even if I sell here, there won’t be any business.”
“Ha Ha, clever person. You can choose for yourself.”
Fu Yunhe studied the list carefully, selected three snacks, and paid three hundred mid-grade crystal stones, which was an exorbitant markup.
“Can I take this to the Western Continent?”
“The Western Continent? That wouldn’t work well, this stuff ca from there.”
“Huh? Really? I thought it was unique here in the East Continent, and taking it to the West would be sothing new.”
Fu Yunhe felt sowhat frustrated, as if his brilliant idea had been stolen, costing him a lot of potential profit.
“No worries, it tastes good, you can go anywhere, just not Boundless Cliff over there, since it’s all from there.”
“Ah, fine. Thank you.”
Feigning disappointnt, Fu Yunhe walked away, although he knew full well that Nian Shutong was at Boundless Cliff on the Western Continent.
He imdiately set off in his flying boat towards the Western Continent.
When he reached the Western Continent, the scenes indeed spoke clearly: Nian Shutong had been here.
Even the stall nas were standardized, all called Blue Star Snacks, just with small nas like grilled cold noodles or fried bananas added to the end.
Fu Yunhe made a round but didn’t find Nian Shutong’s stall; perhaps she wasn’t out today?
He approached a stall selling fried goods and bought a fried banana, casually asking, “Why are you all called Blue Star Snacks?”
“Oh, that’s in mory of Boss Lan.”
“Boss Lan?”
“Yes, exactly.”
The vendor didn’t say much more; business was too good, and he didn’t have ti to talk. But the madam helping at the back took a bit more interest and asked a follow-up question.
“Are you looking for Boss Lan?”
“What does the Boss Lan you’re talking about look like? I’m indeed looking for soone who also knows how to make these snacks.”
“Oh, really.”
The madam put down her work and ca out, saying to Fu Yunhe, “Boss Lan ntioned that soone would surely co looking for him because of these snacks. If we et them, we’re to give them a ssage.”
“What’s your na?”
“Fu Yunhe.”
“Oh my! It’s really you!”
The madam was even more surprised than Fu Yunhe, and she joyfully said, “Hold on, wait a mont, I’ll ssage Boss Lan right away.”
“Alright.”
With nas matching, Fu Yunhe watched a bit nervously as the madam took out her communication stone to contact Boss Lan.
“Hey, what’s happening, it’s not connecting.”
“I’ll leave a ssage for now.”
The madam left a ssage using Nian Shutong’s contact thod, then told Fu Yunhe, “Boss Lan was here for just over a month, sold a bunch of recipes, then left, telling us to contact him if soone ca looking.”
Unable to get through, Fu Yunhe was a bit anxious, finally asking the madam, “Can I trade this sound-keeping stone for yours, would that work?”
Fu Yunhe held a red sound-keeping stone, while the madam’s was a white one.
“Ah, you really want to trade? Yours is much more valuable than mine.”
“Really.”
Fu Yunhe handed over a blank communication stone, and the madam transferred her remaining contacts, spiritual power marks, except for Boss Lan’s.
“Oh my, Boss Lan did say soone would co looking for her, I wasn’t entirely convinced, but now I believe.”
With a communication stone now holding Nian Shutong’s contact details, Fu Yunhe exchanged a few more words with the madam, confirming her ntion of Boss Lan was indeed Nian Shutong.
Having obtained the communication stone, Fu Yunhe finally had a fundantal ans to contact Nian Shutong. He tried once himself but still couldn’t get through; the connection remained inaccessible.
anwhile, Nian Shutong, after nearly ten days of travel, finally disembarked from the worn-out flying boat.
Now with a party of eleven, they were trekking through a dense and dark forest, led by an elder who was in high spirits.
He was quite pleased with himself, seeing the ten resilient students following, none of whom complained.
At this ti, Nian Shutong didn’t know that Fu Yunhe had already found her and was trying to contact her, yet unable to reach her.
The red crystal stone she had bought was said to be usable in 95% of regions, except in desolate areas.
By a stroke of bad luck, she hit that rare spot, seemingly having to settle there for so ti.
Crucially, Nian Shutong was unaware that her sound-keeping stone couldn’t be reached. Who would’ve thought that just going to school could be so coincidental.
For now, unable to establish contact, Nian Shutong continued her journey through the deep forest, heading towards Tianxing Academy.
On the other side, Fu Yunhe, carrying the communication stone, wandered around the Western Continent, waiting for three days but still unable to get through, so he had no choice but to leave for now.
However, he would frequently send a ssage to Nian Shutong, hoping for a response.
Elsewhere, Nian Shutong, after trekking through the mountains for seven days, finally arrived.
“Is this Tianxing Academy?”
“Yes, it’s quite grand, isn’t it?”
“I must say, it’s indeed a bit different.”
Nian Shutong gazed at the tall, ancient stone signboards and the rustic yet grand stone-paved buildings inside, entirely different from the imagined thatched huts.
Remarkably akin to a well-established Cultivation Sect.
Had he underestimated this elder, seeing him as a re sweeping monk?
“Alright, dear freshn, welco to Tianxing Academy.”
“First thing, pay the tuition.”
