You accepted the compensation gifts out of respect for the old principal. Afterwards, the old principal inquired about your plans for elevating the Crimson Heart Squad’s rank. After a moment of reflection, you expressed your intention to develop the Crimson Heart Squad into a Class B squad before graduation. After all, during the last simulation, you only managed to build it into a Class C squad; with greater advantages this time, ascending to Class B would be only natural. Upon hearing this, the old principal was momentarily taken aback. Was he simply growing old? Building a Class B squad from scratch before graduation was nothing short of a fantasy. Even within the entire Federation, a Class B squad was considered a pillar of strength. However, considering the substantial funds at your disposal and the mysterious power behind you, he wisely chose to remain silent. If, in a few years, Yuncheng No. 1 High School could produce a Class B squad, perhaps he could seize the opportunity to elevate the school to a first-class institution.

About a month after you began planning investments in the market for adamantine and mythril, Lin Xue approached you, saying that Du Yuhan had extended an invitation to her. The other party hoped she would transfer to Jade Metropolis. No matter what terms Crimson Heart would offer, Jade Metropolis promised double the compensation. After conveying this, Lin Xue quickly pledged her loyalty. Without your help, she likely would not have passed the university entrance exams and would still be a mere scavenger in the Jiangcheng simulation hall. Your favor was immense, and she would never be able to repay it in this lifetime. No matter what, she would never betray you. You sensed Lin Xue’s fervent devotion through the Loyalty talent and smiled wryly. Since Du Yuhan had recognized your talent, you decided to assist Jade Metropolis in its development. You would not go alone; Crimson Heart’s core professionals would accompany you. You planned to provide a list shortly. If they offered double wages to recruit you, it was only right to demonstrate your worth.

Upon hearing your words, Lin Xue’s eyes narrowed. It seemed she understood your intentions. Since you intended to bring Jade Metropolis under your control, she would naturally do her utmost to support you. She was very familiar with this student organization that entirely mimicked Crimson Heart. To be frank, if Jade Metropolis were ever merged into Crimson Heart, none of its members would feel out of place. After all, its policies and even its social justice-themed entertainment events were identical to those of Crimson Heart.

If there was any difference, it was that Du Yuhan, despite constantly throwing money around, lacked the personal charisma to inspire passionate loyalty. Currently, Crimson Heart’s influence extended across two universities, with many members active throughout Yuncheng society, whereas Jade Metropolis still clung to the notion of being merely a student organization. These two organizations had stark differences from their inception. Your deployment of Lin Xue was intended to help Jade Metropolis shed these immature ideas. They had already invested extraordinary resources to cultivate professionals, yet they still repeatedly emphasized their student organization status, as if desperate to prove it. On the 18th day of the 12th month in the 125th year of the Supernatural Era, Lin Xue led fifty core members to break away from Crimson Heart and grandly join Jade Metropolis. To bolster Jade Metropolis’s prestige within Yuncheng No. 1 High School and to gain an advantage over Crimson Heart, Du Yuhan publicly gifted Lin Xue a rare-tier set of jewelry as a joining bonus. Each of the fifty core Crimson Heart members also received a rare-tier professional set. Furthermore, Lin Xue was appointed as the vice president of Jade Metropolis. This move was a significant financial outlay for Du Yuhan.

However, where there is investment, there is return. Du Yuhan’s generosity swiftly won student favor. Upon hearing the news, Wang Meng, Deng Qi, Zhao Feng, and Xiahou Chuan came to discuss the negative impact of the situation with you. Wang Meng and Xiahou Chuan were outraged, calling Lin Xue a traitor. Without your support, she might still be scavenging somewhere. Just as they prepared to hurl harsher insults, Deng Qi and Zhao Feng intervened. It was well known that loyal professionals heeded your guidance. Since you had placed Lin Xue in such a high position within Crimson Heart, her loyalty was beyond question. Moreover, having spent some time with Lin Xue, they knew her character. If they understood her, surely others did as well. Reflecting on this, the matter was clear to them. Once they came to this realization, they ceased any further complaints. If Du Yuhan wanted to engage in a benefits war, so be it. Using the Du family’s resources to train your squad candidates was a win-win.

Thus, you began large-scale investments into the Crimson Heart Squad while enhancing member benefits. Those Crimson Heart members whose loyalty you detected would be selected as squad candidates, granting them easier access to supernatural resources. In this way, the resource war between Crimson Heart and Jade Metropolis, two student organizations, was fully ignited.

It was hard to imagine that a modest institution like Yuncheng No. 1 High School could foster two such extraordinary student organizations. Their daily investments in supernatural resources exceeded what other student groups spent in an entire year. The old principal was pleased to witness this. With his experience, he immediately grasped your true intentions. Furthermore, with Crimson Heart and Jade Metropolis continuously pouring money into the school, the cultivation atmosphere throughout Yuncheng No. 1 High was revitalized. Talented professionals from impoverished backgrounds, unwilling to sign servitude contracts and thus lacking cultivation resources, struggled greatly. Yet by completing various bounty missions for both organizations, they could quickly acquire new equipment. Some students from other universities in Yuncheng even secretly came over, pretending to be Yuncheng No. 1 High students. This ruse was obvious, and upon discovery, Du Yuhan issued a public notice banning students from other schools from joining Jade Metropolis. The resources of Jade Metropolis belonged to Yuncheng No. 1 High! Upon learning this, you instructed Crimson Heart to absorb these students. Nearly all came from humble origins and lacked access to supernatural resources. Since they dared to compete, you were willing to give them a chance. In your vision, ordinary citizens were the vital recruits of the future, especially talented university students.

Under Lin Xue’s advice, Du Yuhan began amending some unreasonable policies within Jade Metropolis. Born into a noble family, the privileged heiress Du Yuhan naturally lacked empathy for lower-class professionals. Consequently, Jade Metropolis’s policy design and welfare distribution contained notable flaws. However, Du Yuhan soon realized that the policies Lin Xue wanted to change were precisely those she had introduced to differentiate Jade Metropolis from Crimson Heart. If these were altered, the two would become indistinguishable. Faced with Du Yuhan’s doubts, Lin Xue smiled calmly and stated: “The essence of the world is survival of the fittest.” The nature of student organizations, especially such strikingly similar yet irreconcilably competitive ones like Crimson Heart and Jade Metropolis, was governed by a single rule: in a resource war, the strongest always prevails.
