41: Chapter 41 Zhao Ruohan, the Grand Steward of the Heavenly Palace! Chen Changsheng reveals extraordinary abilities during a live broadcast!

The miserable student life before had no joy at all; burying his head in studies all day, he was almost becoming a fool!

The place before his eyes was the only one that truly fit the style of his residence as the [Creator]!

What is a Heavenly Palace? This is it—the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace, transcendent and beyond the world!

"Sir, this is tribute tea, a specialty of Qixia Valley. Please, have a taste."

A fair-skinned, delicate, and beautiful young woman wearing a staff uniform brought a cup of tea from the guesthouse behind and respectfully handed it to Jiang Jin.

"Are you the person in charge who stayed behind?"

Jiang Jin took the teacup, took a sip, and looked at the young woman with a slight lift of his eyelids.

The young woman gripped the hem of her clothes with both hands, her body looking a bit constrained. "Yes, Sir. My name is Zhao Ruohan. I was the branch manager of the previous operating group, in charge of the Qixia Valley tourism project."

"Oh?" Jiang Jin was slightly surprised and asked, "You've reached the position of branch manager, so why stay?"

"You must know that Qixia Valley will no longer operate as a tourist destination. Staying behind means your career path ends here."

"...I heard that you, Sir, are very mysterious, so I stayed." Zhao Ruohan pursed her lips and lowered her head as she spoke.

"Heh, you have a good eye!" Jiang Jin did not feel surprised; instead, he chuckled at the stern-faced Zhou Guanying and the others beside him. "The courage to abandon a golden rice bowl is something most people don't possess."

Immediately, he turned his gaze back and glanced at Zhao Ruohan. "Since you were able to seize the opportunity, it would seem too heartless of me if I didn't agree."

"From now on, you will be the Head Steward of the [Cloud Top Heavenly Palace]."

"Zhou Guanying and the others are just rough men; they are far less pleasing to the eye than a beautiful woman."

Jiang Jin understood one thing: given they had no prior contact, the fact that Zhao Ruohan could guess a hint of his mysterious identity was certainly not due to a sixth sense. It must be that there was some powerful Family behind her.

However, Jiang Jin did not ask further. He did not care much about the past experiences of those who came to join him.

With the control of the Divine Connection Mark and the extraordinary, invincible means of the Singularity Universe, he was confident that he could control all reality-based situations from behind the scenes.

Hearing this, joy appeared on Zhao Ruohan's pretty face. She placed her hands at her waist, bowed, and said, "Thank you, Sir... Thank you, My Lord!"

"Hmm. Go and compile a detailed report on Qixia Valley and bring it to me at lunch. Remember to also include the wild flora and fauna resources."

"Ruohan understands!" Zhao Ruohan carried the tray, her cheeks flushed, and she walked away with quick, small steps.

Immediately, Jiang Jin held the teacup and asked Zhou Guanying and the others with a calm expression, "When will the first batch of rare wild species within the East, collected by Young Master Wang, arrive?"

The top technician from the Southwest, Liu Jie, stepped forward and respectfully said, "I contacted the transport personnel this morning; they said they would arrive before sunset this afternoon. The first batch of wild resources contains over six hundred types!"

"Over six hundred types... Collecting so many in just two or three days shows high efficiency." Jiang Jin pondered for a moment and said, "Then I will stay here today."

"By the way, Lin Shaoyong has initially stepped into the extraordinary Domain. You should ask him for tips on breaking through later. Tonight, I will bestow a wild mountain egg upon each of you."

After speaking, Jiang Jin leisurely entered the top floor of the guesthouse.

"Hehe, don't worry, My Lord. I will teach them well!" Lin Shaoyong rubbed his head, a hint of pride appearing beneath his honest smile.

"Are wild mountain eggs that powerful? You kid, I haven't seen you for one night and you've already stepped into the extraordinary Domain?" After Jiang Jin left, Liu Jie stepped forward in surprise and punched Lin Shaoyong's pectoral muscles hard.

"You big guy actually hid it from us brothers and quietly took the lead!" "No way. Let's spar. Let's see if you can withstand a siege from the fifteen of us!"

As Zhou Guanying spoke, the other team members stepped forward playfully, half-dragging and half-carrying Lin Shaoyong toward the stone platform area not far away.

"No, don't! My brothers, I was wrong!" "I'll never act cool again! Please, let me go!"

"Big guy, since when did a Northwestern man like you become so glib?" "Of course, I learned it from the great 'My Lord'."

"Bullshit! My Lord is such a kind and upright person, how could he be the same as a kid like you!" ...

The guesthouse had three floors. Jiang Jin lay half-reclined on the open-air balcony with a parasol, drinking the specialty tea of Qixia Valley, enjoying the breeze on the mountaintop, and gazing out at the distant emerald mountains with his eyes.

He pondered the future plans for Qixia Valley in his heart.

"It's better to live here often in the future. The courtyard in the village is too small; any slight commotion will attract the attention and onlookers of the villagers."

Soon, a flash of light crossed his eyes. "Qixia Valley doesn't lack green vegetation, and the temperature is suitable all year round. Perhaps this could be chosen as the initial extraordinary breeding ground for reality?"

"Hmm, that's decided. Once the Origin Continent is on the right track and extraordinary resources become slightly surplus, that will be the time to control the reality of the whole world!"

"..." The comfortable feeling was wonderful. While pondering, Jiang Jin felt a slight drowsiness wash over his body, so he lay on the lounge chair... and took a nap.

The provincial capital of Xiangnan, "Xisha City". Inside the solemn and dignified police building in the city center, a male staff member walked out of the cybersecurity center with a grave expression.

He tucked some photo materials under his arm and hurried toward the top floor of the building. Tap, tap, tap! With the tread of his shiny black leather shoes, a rhythmic sense of urgency echoed in the hallway.

Bang, bang, bang— Hearing the light knocking sound from outside the office, the highest police officer of Xiangnan stopped the document he was reviewing and said in a resonant voice, "Come in!"

Creak... The office door was pushed open, and the male staff member walked in with a straight posture. "Vice Provincial Governor Mo, I have urgent news to report to you!"

After saluting, the male staff member calmed his emotions and tried to speak in a steady tone. "Just now, the cybersecurity center compiled an important video message! A middle school student in his third year claimed during a live stream that he had encountered a fortuitous event and could enter a mysterious, unknown land!"

"It is suspected that... the extraordinary exists there!"

"...Director Liu, are you sure you aren't joking?" Mo Wudi's eyes narrowed, and he raised his eyebrows to ask, "You believe what a third-year middle school student says?"

Director Liu knew his words were shocking, but he still stated to Mo Wudi, "That third-year student is named 'Chen Changsheng', and he is from Yuanxi Village. This morning, while live streaming on a popular website, he spoke openly to the netizens in the chat room about his bizarre and fantastical experiences."

"At first, I thought it was a gimmick, an excuse to drive traffic to the live stream, but the series of actions that followed by Chen Changsheng shocked hundreds of netizens watching!"

"...Oh, what actions?" When he heard it was someone from "Yuanxi Village", a flicker of imperceptible realization passed through the depths of Mo Wudi's eyes, and he looked at Director Liu with interest.

Director Liu handed the photo materials from under his arm to the desk with both hands, then said with an exceptionally serious expression, "In Chen Changsheng's hand... a black, standard-issue Eastern pistol appeared out of thin air!!"
