Chapter 293: Flowers planted intentionally do not bloom, but willows planted unintentionally create shade
After listening to what Senior Adu said, Li Qian finally had a certain understanding of the unstable rifts inside the dimensional plane, and finally understood why the Peacock King was so eager to rush over.

The two chatted for a while, and near noon, Instructor Zhou gathered their team of freshmen, a total of 25 people, together again.

He announced, "What happened this morning was quite unexpected, but this is the norm in this dimension. We are always in danger. We never know when we will die in a foreign land, without a trace of our remains left."

"I can tell you with certainty that what happened today was extremely dangerous. If we had been a step later, we would have probably perished."

Perhaps because he felt that the sense of crisis had been created, Instructor Zhou's tone suddenly changed from warning to encouragement, "But you don't have to be discouraged or worry too much. As long as your strength improves, not to mention protecting yourself, it is not impossible for you to dominate a dimension like Lord Peacock King."

"..."

Blah blah... Instructor Zhou talked for a long time. Although Li Qian understood all these principles and knew that Instructor Zhou was just trying to get him excited, he still couldn't help but be affected and his expression became a little excited.

After giving Li Qian a boost, Instructor Zhou began to explain the next arrangements. As expected, this incident inevitably had a huge impact on the training.

All injured freshmen were arranged to return to school unconditionally, the military training ended early, and the adventurer badges that were temporarily issued to uninjured freshmen were taken back.

Having their adventurer badges taken away meant that they had lost the qualification to leave the city and could only stay in Yuntian City. They could choose to return to their ancestral planet, or continue to stay in Yuntian City and wait for three days to pass before returning.

Li Qian chose to stay without giving it much thought. After this incident, the so-called opportunity to obtain the Adventurer's Badge in advance for good performance would probably be forgotten.

Under such circumstances, it was unknown when Li Qian would come to the dimensional plane next time, so he naturally wanted to take this opportunity to wander around more.

After making up his mind, Li Qian let out a long sigh, stopped worrying about the training, and strolled around Yuntian City at a leisurely pace.

Not only are the cultural and architectural styles in Yuntian City completely different from those on the ancestral star, the items sold in the various pet shops are also extremely rich, and the prices are much cheaper than on the ancestral star.

As long as these materials are useful, such as dragon bone powder, wind chime fruit, Xunfeng bamboo, Kongming stone and the like, Li Qian would choose to buy some as reserves, as they will be used sooner or later anyway.

Just as Li Qian came out of a shop selling pet cubs, looked at the sky and was about to book a hotel, his temporary communication watch suddenly rang.

Li Qian looked at the strange number displayed on the temporary communication watch and was a little puzzled. How could a stranger call into this temporary communication watch?

Without thinking too much, he pressed the answer button, and then the sound of the communication watch ringing made him feel a little surprised.

It was Irina!

About half an hour later, Li Qian looked at a restaurant called "Western Region Family" and walked in.

As soon as he entered, a graceful figure at a two-person table near the left corridor raised his right hand and motioned Li Qian to come over.

This person is Irina.

"Senior Irina, I didn't expect to meet you here!" Li Qian walked over with a smile without hesitation, saying as he walked. "I knew you were in Yuntian City a long time ago, and if nothing unexpected had happened, you would have stayed in the Moon Shadow Forest tonight." Irina said calmly, "Eat something. I ordered enough for two people. Don't waste it. Food is much more expensive in Yuntian City than on Zuxing."

Li Qian didn't hesitate to hear that. He just picked up the bowl and chopsticks and prepared to scoop rice into his bowl.

Seeing this, Irina showed a look of surprise on her face, "You don't want to drink anything, but just eat?"

Li Qian responded directly with Irina's words, "In the dimensional plane, food is much more expensive than on the ancestral planet. We can't waste it."

"You, little brother, are quite interesting." Irina smiled after hearing this, and then said no more. She took a sip of wine and started eating by herself.

The two of them ate, taking turns to eat, as if they had come here specifically for the meal.

At about 6:30, dinner was over, and the two of them left the "Western Region Family" restaurant and started strolling around Yuntian City.

"Let's go." After walking for a while, Irina suddenly said.

"What?" Li Qian had a huge question mark on his forehead when he heard that.

"I'll take you to see Teacher Tie. I was originally planning to bring Teacher Tie's pet, Golden Pearl Beilei, to see you, but since you've already come to this dimensional plane, I'll just take you to see him in person." Irina said.

"I heard from Mr. Tie before that he is the gatekeeper guarding the dimensional rift. When I came here this time, I paid special attention, but I didn't see him near the dimensional gate." Li Qian said.

Irina explained, "That's normal. Even if you are guarding the dimensional gate, you can't just stand there like a doorman."

"With the security robots there, they don't show up at all under normal circumstances. They have a dedicated office and are actually no different from office workers working from nine to five."

She continued, "Of course, if you go there now, you will definitely not be able to see him, because he has applied for a transfer from his original position and went to Feihe City to become the deputy town envoy."

"I'm the deputy town envoy, not in Yuntian City..." Li Qian was even more confused after hearing Irina's words, "Why?"

"I don't know..." Irina shook her head. "Maybe he wants to use the environment there to hone himself and his pet and make another push to the Emperor level."

"Another attempt to reach the Emperor level?" Li Qian shook his head, his eyes full of suspicion. "Haven't I already researched the evolution method of the Golden Pearl Bud to the Tidal Sea Spirit? With Tie Lao's Golden Pearl Bud already reaching the Overlord level, it shouldn't take long for it to be upgraded to the Emperor level after evolution."

"You..." Hearing this, Irina looked at Li Qian deeply, and then told the truth: "...It was just an unexpected situation..."

"I never heard Tie Lao mention that you wanted to help him evolve the Golden Pearl Buds before. Maybe he didn't even have any hope... but... you planted flowers with care but they didn't bloom, but you planted willows by accident but they grew into a forest!"

After hearing this, Li Qian couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. It turned out that Tie Lao didn't have much hope for him at all. He must have been quite surprised after receiving his call.
