JFWCM Chapter 85

A New Path After Returning to School

After experiencing the adventure in the mysterious starfield, Jiang Wan’yuan returned to Earth. After a series of upheavals, the planet’s economy had fallen into a state of scarcity. Although Jiang Wan’yuan was reluctant, she had no choice but to return to the school she had once attended and become a teacher in order to contribute to Earth during this difficult time and to make a living.

Jiang Wan’yuan integrated her experiences and knowledge from her time among the stars into her teaching, bringing students an unprecedented and novel experience. Her classroom was always full of energy, and the students were deeply fascinated by the wonderful stories and advanced technologies about the universe. However, beneath the calm facade of teaching, Jiang Wan’yuan’s longing for Yi Shang, Lin Jichuan, and Zhang Yao never ceased.

Every night, after Jiang Wan’yuan finished grading her students’ homework, she would sit alone by the window of the teacher’s office, gazing at the night sky. She recalled her time with Yi Shang and the others at Xingyao Academy, and silently hoped that one day she would be reunited with them. In her stories, the images of Yi Shang, Lin Jichuan, and Zhang Yao gradually became vivid in the students’ minds. They were like legendary heroes, inspiring the students’ yearning for space exploration.

In the distant interstellar space, Yi Shang, Lin Jichuan, and Zhang Yao were still on the road to find Jiang Wan’yuan. They had no idea that Jiang Wan’yuan had returned to Earth to become a teacher, and they were still stubbornly pursuing those fragmented clues.

Yi Shang continued to delve into the study of various interstellar energy phenomena at Xingyao Academy, hoping to find a connection related to Jiang Wan’yuan’s disappearance. She became even more reticent, devoting all her energy to research. Only in the dead of night would she lie in bed, looking at the starry sky outside the window, as thoughts surged like a tide. She often recalled the scene of reviewing materials together with Jiang Wan’yuan in the academy’s library. Jiang Wan’yuan was always full of curiosity, asking various questions, and she herself would patiently answer them, occasionally being inspired by Jiang Wan’yuan’s novel ideas.

Lin Jichuan and Zhang Yao, on the other hand, traveled around the interstellar space, communicating with intelligence organizations and explorers from various planets, trying to obtain more information about Jiang Wan’yuan’s whereabouts. They participated in various interstellar gatherings, not letting go of any possible clues. At an interstellar trade market, Lin Jichuan accidentally heard a merchant mention that energy fluctuations similar to Jiang Wan’yuan’s description had appeared on a remote planet. The three immediately set off for that planet. However, after a lot of hard work, they discovered that it was just a wild goose chase.

As the days passed, Jiang Wan’yuan’s teaching work at the school became more and more outstanding. She cultivated a group of students who were passionate about space exploration. Among them, two students, Lin Yu and Su Yao, were particularly fascinated by Jiang Wan’yuan’s interstellar stories. They often pestered Jiang Wan’yuan after class, asking more about Yi Shang and the others.

“Teacher Jiang, you said that Yi Shang is so amazing, where is she now?” Lin Yu’s eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Jiang Wan’yuan smiled wryly, raised her head and looked at the sky, “The teacher also wants to know. She must be somewhere, working hard for our common beliefs.”

At the same time, Yi Shang’s research at Xingyao Academy made a new breakthrough. She discovered a special interstellar signal that seemed to have a hidden connection with the mysterious power that Jiang Wan’yuan had previously studied. After complex analysis and calculation, she locked onto a galaxy extremely far from Xingyao Academy – the Entropy Galaxy. Yi Shang firmly believed that this galaxy held the key to finding Jiang Wan’yuan.

Yi Shang, Lin Jichuan, and Zhang Yao embarked on the journey to the Entropy Galaxy without hesitation. During the long voyage, Yi Shang became even more silent, her eyes revealing a firm determination. Lin Jichuan and Zhang Yao knew that Yi Shang’s longing for Jiang Wan’yuan had turned into a powerful driving force to find her.

On Earth, Jiang Wan’yuan received a mysterious letter. The letter had no sender, but the contents made her heart beat faster. The letter mentioned a location of an interstellar ruin, which was said to hide secrets that could change her destiny and hinted at a connection with the people she missed.

Jiang Wan’yuan knew that this might be a dangerous trap, but she couldn’t resist the clue that might be related to Yi Shang and the others. After arranging the teaching work at the school, Jiang Wan’yuan embarked on the journey to find the ruins alone.

Jiang Wan’yuan followed the instructions in the letter and came to the extreme cold of the Earth. There, she found an ancient entrance covered in ice and snow. The entrance was covered with strange runes. Jiang Wan’yuan struggled to interpret the meaning of the runes with her extensive knowledge. The runes seemed to be warning her that there was danger ahead, but Jiang Wan’yuan had no intention of retreating.

She cautiously entered the entrance and walked along a narrow passage. The passage was filled with a cold atmosphere, and Jiang Wan’yuan could feel her heart beating faster. Suddenly, a group of mechanical guards surged out of the walls. Their bodies emitted a ghostly blue light, and they held sharp blades, attacking Jiang Wan’yuan.

Jiang Wan’yuan quickly drew out the energy weapon she carried with her and started fighting the mechanical guards. In the fierce battle, Jiang Wan’yuan discovered that the mechanical guards’ movement patterns had certain rules. With her agility and calm mind, she skillfully dodged the attacks and looked for their weaknesses. After a hard fight, Jiang Wan’yuan successfully repelled the mechanical guards.

Continuing deeper, Jiang Wan’yuan came to a huge underground space. In the center of the space was a crystal ball emitting a soft light, surrounded by a circle of ancient characters. Jiang Wan’yuan walked closer to the crystal ball and carefully read the characters. She was surprised to find that these characters actually recorded some information about Yi Shang and the others, as well as a way to establish contact with them.

At this time, Yi Shang, Lin Jichuan, and Zhang Yao had arrived at the Entropy Galaxy. This galaxy was filled with a strange energy, as if time and space were distorted here. They carefully piloted the spaceship to explore the galaxy. Suddenly, the spaceship’s monitoring system issued a strong warning. A group of ferocious alien creatures pounced on their spaceship. These creatures exuded a disgusting odor and were extremely fast.

Yi Shang quickly maneuvered the spaceship to dodge while activating the weapon system to fight back. Lin Jichuan and Zhang Yao also joined the battle, helping Yi Shang to cope with the crisis. In the fierce battle, Yi Shang discovered that these alien creatures seemed to have a strong reaction to a certain frequency of energy. She quickly adjusted the frequency of the spaceship’s weapons and launched another attack, successfully repelling the alien creatures.

After some exploration, they discovered a planet covered with mysterious patterns on its surface. Yi Shang and the others decided to land on this planet to look for clues related to Jiang Wan’yuan. When they walked out of the spaceship, a strong energy fluctuation came over them, and the surrounding environment was full of unknown dangers.
