I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

"When is it expected to be completed?"

"If it really must be done ASAP... we could send out the notice tonight, and school could start tomorrow, though there would be quite a bit of resentment, haha."

"Many teachers don’t want to go to work, especially after such a big incident has left everyone anxious. People are naturally lazy and want to slack off for a few days given the chance. They definitely wouldn’t be keen on taking responsibility."

"Plus, with the current state of transportation, the difficulty of picking up and dropping off the children is somewhat high."

Gasoline had become a controlled item. As a resource that diminished with each use, it had to be allocated wisely.

As for electric vehicles... the current power grid simply couldn’t handle the load of electric cars.

The only solutions were bicycles, tricycles, and a greater use of public transport. But even these things would take time to produce, at least a few months, I suppose.

"Then let’s just send out the notice first, have the teachers check in, take attendance or something, via the internet, to teach a safety course for the Supernatural era."

"How about we send out the notice now, there shouldn’t be any problems with remote courses, right?"

There was a moment of hesitation on the other end of the phone: "If it’s just audio, our current network should suffice... When will the official classes start?"

"Official classes are still a ways away, this is just temporary."

Li Chunhong always felt his thoughts becoming more agile.

In the language of young people, this was called exploiting a bug, getting the Milestone Points first and worrying about the rest later...

After arranging these matters, Li Chunhong asked Zhang Hui, "How’s the effort to contact Lu Yuan going?"

"Every message he sends provides us with a wealth of knowledge."

"Especially since he’s located at a relic of a technological civilization, there definitely is a lot of knowledge that could be convenient for us to access..."

Zhang Hui appeared somewhat embarrassed, taking a sip of hot water, "The last time we used the emergency communication, it scared him into turning off his device."

"We don’t dare use the emergency communication for the time being."

"Yunhai University has established an emergency public relations team, but half a day really isn’t enough time."

"There’s a telepath over in New York City, but the two sides haven’t actually met and can’t get in touch."

"Sigh, I’m aware of your difficulties, I’m just worried that Lu Yuan might suddenly die, or lose hope and commit suicide in the forest."

"After all, a day here is over three months for him; it’s an excruciating time." Li Chunhong was silent for a moment, sending a few messages within the work group.

The message from the Department of Education also arrived at his phone promptly.

[Welcoming the new era, looking forward to the new future, the first lesson of the academic year for all elementary and secondary schools, as well as universities and colleges.]

[To all teachers, a new era has arrived, and in order to further enhance education in the Supernatural era, to increase students’ awareness of safety and self-protection, and to understand the brand new world, we are forwarding the following items according to the "**** notice":...]

It wasn’t just the students; parents could also benefit from listening to the latest "first lesson of the school year".

There was also an underlying message: Don’t worry, the schools are about to reopen very soon.

Well, "very soon"... might mean several months from now.

The class teacher had to ensure that information reached everyone and to take a headcount of the students.

This was actually a test of organizational skills.

If most class teachers were too lazy to inform their students, or even believed that there was no need for education in this day and age, then this first lesson of the school year would naturally fail, and we couldn’t talk about the so-called "civilization inheritance".

But Li Chunhong believed there wasn’t much of a problem!

He still had that bit of confidence.

The general populace was also eager and supportive; after all, education was entrenched in the genetics of the Great Xia Civilization!

How many parents had exhausted themselves over their children’s education?

The reopening of schools fit everyone’s lifestyle! No matter the era, learning was essential!

```

Many young children felt dejected and simultaneously cried out, "Daddy (Mommy), I don’t want to go to school!"

But their objections were ineffective.

Time ticked away, second by second.

At eight o’clock in the evening, "The First Lesson of the School Year," led by a host and several experts, officially began.

No elaborate preparation was needed, just some extemporaneous speaking would do, and the content didn’t have to be profound.

It was simply a discussion about future life, the government’s response to various challenges, peppered with moving stories and more.

Within a civilization, there are thugs and criminals, but there are also urban heroes and countless ordinary people—everyone’s actions combined constitute a true civilization.

It had to be admitted, this spontaneously organized educational session turned out to be unexpectedly effective.

Even many parents listened intently.

"Dad, where are you going?" in an apartment building, a young girl asked a middle-aged man.

"I’m taking some fever medicine to our neighbor next door! It’s nothing serious."

"Mom, what are you doing?" In another apartment complex, a boy was inquiring of his mother.

"Didn’t they say to recycle garbage? I’m sorting out things that can be donated..."

Life is sometimes like a stream, and at other times like a river.

Often, droplets of rain and streams eventually flow into rivers, which then... rush into the sea!

There’s no need for grand gesture; simply doing one’s duty, not committing evil, is enough for a civilization.

It wasn’t until nine o’clock in the evening that suddenly, a voice echoed in the skies above the city.

The voice originated from all directions, audible to everyone.

[Congratulations to your civilization for completing the Milestone: A Stable Civilization.]

[Criteria met: Among all civilizations, the first 100,000 to quell internal chaos and form a stable cultural heritage.]

[Human civilization’s First Branch, current rank: 789th.]

[If history is likened to the Yangtze River, then civilization represents its thickest and main current. A stable civilization allows history to flow towards an even more distant future.]

[Today, you have quelled the chaos and restarted the legacy of civilization, laying a solid foundation for the future’s exploration.]

In the laboratory, everyone’s pupils dilated with surprise and delight.

"We completed the Milestone!!" Several younger doctors couldn’t help but cheer.

The more composed ones were flushed with excitement, their bodies trembling.

"What about the reward? The reward? Surely the 789th place doesn’t come without a reward?"

The voice from beyond continued:

[Your civilization receives the Milestone reward for 789th place: one Mid-level Transcendent Plant and twelve Low-level Transcendent Plants (random plants within the civilization will mutate).]

[Your civilization receives Milestone Points as a reward: 3300 points. (This feature has not yet been activated)]

Several beams of white light descended from the sky and entered the city from all directions.

"Where did that white light come from?"

"I don’t know, it seemed to appear out of nowhere!"

Professor Zhang Hui was already beaming with joy—thirteen Extraordinary Plants... and what was that about a Mid-level Extraordinary Plant?

What did that imply... perhaps many difficulties could be easily solved!

If just one of those Extraordinary Plants was related to food, it could possibly solve the food problem once and for all!
