Chapter 469 Extra 8: "Chen Universe" (8)
"Oh?"
Elder Bai's interest was instantly piqued, and he detailedly inquired, "Explain further."
"Let's not talk about it here."
Scarred Dog glanced around, "This isn't the place to talk; let's find a barbecue stand to grab some late-night snacks and chat while we eat."
...
Half an hour later.
Scarred Dog sat at an outdoor barbecue stand, turned his head seriously to Elder Bai, and asked, "First, tell me, what is that place of yours like, how big is it?"
"Um..."
After thinking for a long time, Elder Bai finally replied, "
"Understood."
After exchanging a look with Wang Jili, a hint of envy flashed in their eyes, "That must be a 'Continent Ball,' right? We have that too, but it's not as big as yours. Ours are only made from one or two planets. Your thousands of planets make yours much bigger than ours."
"I've already given that toy to my people. We usually grow some vegetables and raise cattle and sheep inside, using it as a pantry. After all, there's more sense of achievement in eating what you've grown yourself."
"It's clear that Yi values you a lot."
"Not really."
Elder Bai helplessly smiled bitterly, "Family knows their own affairs. What could there be for Yi to value in me? It's simply a case of cherishing the association. Yi's son suddenly returning home is naturally a happy event, and as I am his son's subordinate, I was cherished by association."
"When it comes to standing in Yi's heart, I'm certainly not as high as you two."
"Hahaha."
Scarred Dog couldn't help laughing, "Elder Bai, what you say is truly pleasant to hear. But you got one thing wrong, we are direct descendants of Jiang, while Yi's direct lineage is right here."
"Here."
He draped an arm over Thin Rabbit's shoulder and laughed.
"Good to know."
Thin Rabbit gave Scarred Dog an annoyed look, "You're clear enough to differentiate the kings tonight, you're not drunk. In the entire universe, if I, Thin Rabbit, rank third, who dares to claim they're second?"
Scarred Dog couldn't help but grin at the words, "Thin Rabbit, seems like you're the one who's drunk. Have you forgotten about Jiaye?"
"Then let's say, if I'm fourth, who dares to be third?"
"There's also Yi's eldest son Chen Yue, and the second son Chen Miao."
"So, I'm sixth then?"
Not far away, several hundred Cosmic Engineering Ships hovered in mid-air.
Roughly a few thousand people were standing downstairs at this moment, talking to each other. Just as Elder Bai was still confused and hadn't come to terms with the situation, he saw Wang Jili, standing at the forefront of the crowd, casually with his hand in his pocket and a cigarette in his mouth, waving at him from below.
He quickly washed up, changed his clothes, and walked downstairs. Seeing the immense setup in front of him, he looked at Wang Jili somewhat bewildered, "Isn't this setup a bit too grand?" Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire
"Not at all."
Wang Jili, hand still in pocket, grinned and said, "What do you mean 'a few people'? Your continent is made up of over three thousand planets fused together. This is a massive project. You know Jiang, right? Jiang came from the Ten Thousand Races Arena. The Ten Thousand Races Arena he used to run is much smaller than yours; it was just one planet."
"Even though he expanded that planet a bit, it still wasn't as big as yours."
"Yours is already the top-of-the-line version."
"These few people are far from enough. I talked to Jiang about it yesterday, and he told me to pull all the companies from our universe in this field overnight. This is less than one percent of what we need; a huge number of people are still on their way here."
"I expect we'll have hundreds of thousands of construction workers, plus tens of thousands of Cosmic Engineering Ships. In roughly a month, your continent can be completely gamified, Elder Bai."
"By the way, when the time comes, these workers don't need to go back. They'll be your first batch of players."
As his words fell,
Several company bosses beside him trembled uncontrollably, looking at Wang Jili with tearful voices, "President Wang, we wouldn't dare! We've known each other for so long; there's no way we'd cheat our own people!"
"The tombs we're building aren't imperial. There's no need to get buried with them, right?"
"Just kidding."
Wang Jili swept his gaze over the company boss dismissively, "Use your brain for a second. Would I really let you get buried with them? You're all high-end technical personnel, and we'll need your skills in the future. This is Elder Bai, Miao's right-hand man."
"As for his status, you figure it out."
"That's direct lineage, higher status than mine."
"Especially since Miao has just returned, Yi dotes on him. Even if you wanted to be buried with him, you wouldn't have the chance if anything went amiss. You know what Yi is capable of."
"Understood."
The few company bosses exchanged serious glances and huskily assured, "President Wang, rest assured, we've got it under control. We will do a flawless job this time."
They had heard of Chen Miao's name a long time ago.
It was said that Yi had been searching for his son in various parallel spaces for several years, leading to many deaths. And when it's said 'many,' it truly means a multitude. Yi executes on a universal scale.
At the beginning of his career, he was relatively tactful, executing by bloodlines, wiping out every living being of a bloodline.
Lately, he got more brutal, starting to kill by race, exterminating an entire species.
Eventually, it turned into annihilation by planet. Entire planets were wiped clean of life.
Until now...
It's evolved to extermination by universe, eradicating everyone in entire universes. That's sheer cruelty. Over the years, how many foreign races that attempted to rebel against the rule perished at Yi's hands? The corpses would pile up and fill an entire universe.
