So many messages?What did i do?

The man's name was Chen Zhang, in his forties, with a daughter. Most importantly, he was one of the three major tycoons in Kyoto, the CEO of the Chen Family Consortium, a dominant force in any first or second-tier city! However, Chen Zhang was not a professional esper, just a low-level esper. The entire consortium had only one barely Ninth Tier support. A consortium without a Ninth Tier backbone would normally struggle to establish itself in Kyoto, let alone claim a position among the top three tycoons. Therefore, before Chen Xin Yan awakened, the Chen Family Consortium was just one of the many second-rate consortia in Kyoto. But since Chen Xin Yan awakened as an SS-level esper known as the Ice Queen, the country began to take notice of this small consortium. Because Chen Xin Yan was the second registered SS-level esper in the world. The first was the former Minister of Defense of Huaxia, a monster who reached the Ninth Tier in less than thirty years, becoming the youngest Ninth Tier in history! Even with extraordinary talent and possessing an S-level esper ability, Ling Wu took over fifty years to break through to the Ninth Tier! Compared to the rarity of SS-level, there were countless S-level awakeners, like carp crossing the river. Chen Xin Yan's awakening not only brought fame to the Chen Family Consortium worldwide, but also elevated it to one of the three major tycoons in Kyoto. Although it was the least among the three tycoons, without the support of a Ninth Tier, Chen Xin Yan's role was immeasurable. As for the other two major consortia, one had the support of a Ninth Tier pinnacle, while the other was a powerful group without a Ninth Tier on the surface. Rumor had it that behind the powerful group, there was a being capable of overwhelming all ordinary Ninth Tiers, along with an Eighth Tier pinnacle capable of fighting ordinary Ninth Tiers. No one had ever seen these two individuals take action because once they appeared, it meant that the powerful group was facing an irreversible crisis, and every time they acted, it was a bloodbath. When this rumor spread, it coincided with the mysterious disappearance of the former Minister of Defense, naturally linking the two events together. After all, the disappearance of a powerful figure and the appearance of another were extremely rare occurrences, with almost zero possibility. "Alright, father. My goal is to quickly defeat everyone during the New Student Grand Competition to intimidate the Lü Family, including those two poor boys." Meanwhile, Qin Feng opened his eyes and found himself in a white room, lying on a bed with armrests, with no one around except for a table. On the table was a desk lamp and two drawers, one of which had a label indicating its contents. "I'm in the hospital..." Qin Feng touched his head and looked at the electronic calendar on the wall. "I've been sleeping here for 7 days." Qin Feng pressed down on the guardrail forcefully, breaking the F-grade metal guardrail with his bare hands. Qin Feng got out of bed, moved his body's various joints, and practiced a knife technique with a stick, but felt a shock in his heart. As it was his first time fighting a real monster, every time he thought about that experience, even a calm examinee like Qin Feng couldn't help but sweat profusely. Qin Feng forced himself to stop dwelling on it, furrowing his brow as he considered what he needed to do next. "First, check what's in that drawer; second, complete the discharge procedures and find a place to spend the summer vacation." Qin Feng walked towards the drawer with the sticky note attached to it and tore off the note. Inside were dozens of letters of various colors, among which a black letter stood out prominently. Qin Feng opened the first letter, signed by the Security Bureau of Yangzhou City, offering a B-grade combat skill scroll and 10 million Huaxia coins as a reward. "B-grade combat skill, restricting my freedom again. Who do they think they're fooling?" Qin Feng tossed the letter aside and picked up the next one. The second letter was from the Huaxia Esper Association's Yangzhou Branch, offering an A-grade combat skill scroll and an S-grade spiritual artifact. "This seems to be a loose organization, only needing to complete three tasks a year to avoid breaking the contract. I'll agree to this." He tossed it aside and moved on to the next letter. The third, fourth, fifth... up to the ninth letters were all signed by various cities' esper universities and martial arts academies, with ordinary conditions, all of which Qin Feng discarded. It wasn't until the tenth letter that the signature on it was unexpectedly from the Huaxia Military! "Mr. Qin Feng, if you join our military, you can determine your length of service, and our military will spare no effort in providing you with all the resources to reach the Fifth Tier!" The cost of cultivating a Fifth Tier esper was equivalent to emptying the entire assets of the Zhou Junkai family and buying time that money couldn't buy! "Hmm..." Qin Feng was obviously tempted, but when he thought about the price of losing his freedom later on, he left it on the bed. "Let's see what's in that black letter first," Qin Feng took out the distinct letter and, upon opening it, found something similar to the token from two years ago. "This is... Ling Wu!" Qin Feng carefully read the contents of the letter. "After you finish the college entrance examination, make sure to serve in the military for two years, as I still have two years of service left. I hope you can settle this matter for me as a repayment for taking care of you." "Also, this token may emit black mist when you're in danger, which might come in handy." In the Huaxia military, evading military service was considered a more serious offense than a major violation. Even one day was a grave offense, let alone two years! There was a case in the military where a mid-level Eighth Tier lieutenant colonel evaded service for five months, and the military sent its highest combat power to suppress him. After that, no one dared to evade service again! A mid-level Eighth Tier was a giant wherever they went! In their eyes, except for Ninth Tier, everyone else was an ant! Thinking of the sensation caused by that token at school, Ling Wu's two ironclad rules, and the rapid growth brought about by the devilish training before high school, Qin Feng knew he had to do this! Qin Feng carefully wrapped up the token and put it in his pocket. "The last one, the signature on it is... Huaxia National Defense University!" Qin Feng broke into a cold sweat at the sight of it, and the white and yellow packaging paper beneath him turned red instantly. "This is the anti-counterfeiting mark of Huaxia National Defense University, so it must be genuine." Qin Feng opened the package and found only a few lines inside. "Congratulations, Qin Feng, you have been admitted to Huaxia National Defense University. Someone will pick you up on July 1st. You have been assigned S-level clearance. Details will be explained upon arrival at the school." Qin Feng looked at the calendar. There was only one day left until July 1st, tomorrow, when he would leave the city of Yangzhou with eight years of memories behind him! "Isn't this just fishing?"Qin Feng scrutinized the familiar pattern on the paper at present. "Alright," Qin Feng picked up the three letters and stashed them inside his school-issued uniform. "Next step, complete the discharge procedures!" Qin Feng walked to the nursing station and overheard several nurses whispering about something. "It seems like there was a commotion in Room 512 last night. From the surveillance footage, a black crack appeared, and a ghostly figure emerged from it, leaving something in the drawer designated by the hospital director for patient letters, then disappeared!" "Yes, but the ghost didn't go to other rooms, so that's good," another nurse said after completing the registration procedures for a new patient and taking a sip of tea. Room 512 was Qin Feng's ward! Qin Feng couldn't help but feel helpless. "With Ling Wu's abilities, he shouldn't have been detected. It seems like he did it on purpose." Qin Feng completed the procedures at the nursing station, then at the discharge counter, and left the hospital. He decided to pay a visit to Zhou Junkai. Using information from online sources and descriptions from former classmates, he quickly located a building. "Named the Zhou Family Consortium, it's a highly renowned family enterprise throughout Yangzhou City," Qin Feng took out his newly acquired phone from the phone store, checked the map to confirm his location, and stood at the entrance, checking his emails. To his surprise, among the few system emails in his inbox, there was one from a sender he was very familiar with: "Zhou Junkai! He wants to meet me, but I'm going to him instead!" Qin Feng exclaimed. "He has something to discuss with me at 3 PM today."
