Anping was engrossed in writing and drawing in his laboratory when Gu Yuena, Lan Fuzi, and Xu Xiaoyan barged in. This was not their first time doing this, but Anping was used to it and did not mind.

He saw them enter the laboratory, but they did not disturb him. They sat on the sofa for guests and chatted quietly among themselves.

Their conversations were mostly about which store had the best food or the most fashionable clothes.

After about ten minutes, Anping finished his work and joined them on the opposite sofa. He asked, "So, what do you want me to make for you this time?"

He said this because they had come to him several times before to ask for his help in making some props. He did not refuse them because they were not too troublesome.

Lan Fuzi replied indignantly, "Can't we visit you without a reason? We didn't come here to ask you for anything. Don't you know that the City of Miracles is opening officially today? Aren't you going to show up?"

"Is it today?" Anping was taken aback. He had forgotten about it because he had been busy lately. He shook his head slightly and said, "I won't go if Yun Ming and Le Zhengen are not there."

Yun Ming and Le Zhengen were in charge of welcoming the guests from the federation. This was planned in advance, and Anping had no interest in this kind of thing.

Gu Yuena looked at Lan Fuzi and then at Xu Xiaoyan and said, "I told you Anping doesn't care about this kind of thing, so there's no point in calling him, right?"

Xu Xiaoyan asked curiously, "Brother Anping, you built the City of Miracles, and now it's finally opening. How can you not be there? What are you working on these days?"

Not only Xu Xiaoyan, but Gu Yuena was also very curious about what Anping was doing. It seemed that he had solved the traffic problem in the City of Miracles, and she had read what he wrote. It was related to space, but not to transportation.

Anping smiled and said, "It's true that I built the City of Miracles, but the City of Miracles belongs to everyone. Whether I go or not won't make a difference. As for what I'm doing now, you'll find out soon enough."

Seeing that Anping was not going, Gu Yuena and the others did not say anything more. They knew that Yun Ming and Le Zhengen were responsible for this matter. Anping's presence or absence would not affect the outcome.

After some idle chat, Gu Yuena left with Lan Fuzi and Xu Xiaoyan, while Anping returned to his workbench and resumed his writing and drawing.

Meanwhile, the people who came to congratulate the City of Miracles arrived one after another through the space gate that Anping had set up on the coast of Skysea City.

The ones who came from Shrek Academy this time were Wu Zhangkong, led by Zhuo Shi, and the new generation of Shrek's Seven Monsters, namely Tang Wulin and his friends.

They saw that the person who greeted them was Yun Ming. They had known for a long time that he and Yali had joined the City of Miracles, but they still felt uncomfortable. After all, Yun Ming was the former Sea God of Shrek Academy and the master of the Sea God's Pavilion.

But no matter how reluctant they were, they did not dare to cause any trouble on such an occasion. On the one hand, they wanted to save face, but on the other hand, Yun Ming and Le Zhengen exerted a great pressure on them, which was clearly much stronger than before.

Yun Ming felt a twinge of embarrassment when he saw the arrival of Shrek Academy. He had been disillusioned with the so-called god after the incident with Poseidon Tang San, but Shrek Academy still held some prestige in his heart.

Nevertheless, he greeted them warmly and said, "Welcome to the City of Miracles, Shrek Academy. I didn't expect you, Zhuo Shi, to lead the team this time. I thought Yue'er was in charge of the outings."

Zhuo Shi heard Yun Ming's words and realized that he had truly joined the City of Miracles. He was reluctant to accept it and said, "Boss, don't you miss the academy? You know..."

Yun Ming glanced covertly at Tang Wulin, then smiled and said, "I'm not going back. The City of Miracles is fine. Besides, Shrek doesn't need me anymore. Let's catch up later."

As he spoke, he summoned the staff to escort the people from Shrek Academy through the Space Gate and into the City of Miracles, while he himself welcomed the visitors from the Tang Sect.

After Zhuo Shi led Tang Wulin and the others through the Space Gate, they officially entered the City of Miracles. They were all stunned by what they saw.

The first thing that amazed them was the Space Gate itself. They had never seen anything like it before. Although the Tang Sect also had space technology, it was nowhere near this level.

Then there was the transportation mode in the City of Miracles. They saw all kinds of strange vehicles in the City of Miracles, such as flying carpets, horseless carriages, and flying skateboards.

Xie Xie pointed to one of the more normal vehicles, the floating car, and asked, "Teacher Wu, can our Tang Sect do this?"

Wu Zhangkong nodded and said, "Of course we can. This is not a difficult task for the Tang Sect."

Dai Yun'er asked curiously, "If the Tang Sect can do it, why don't we have such floating cars in Shrek City?"

Hearing Dai Yun'er's question, Wu Zhangkong thought for a while and explained, "The main focus of the Tang Sect is not this, and the cost is too high, and no one will buy it. The reason why the City of Miracles can do this is because those who join the City of Miracles are some big families, and they don't care about the money."

Hearing Wu Zhangkong's explanation, Tang Wulin nodded and said, "Teacher Wu is right. If ordinary people can't afford it, then there's no point in making it."

The staff who were leading the way heard the conversation of the people from Shrek Academy and shook their heads slightly. "The fact that the Tang Sect can't do it means that your technology is not up to par. The vehicles you see here are no more expensive than the cars outside, and even cheaper than many. Even ordinary people can afford them."

Hearing the staff's introduction, Wu Zhangkong felt a bit embarrassed, but he had nothing to say in defense. If it was cheaper than a normal car, their Tang Sect really couldn't do it.

Tang Wulin didn't like it when people said that the Tang Sect was not good, so he retorted, "Teacher Wu also said that the Tang Sect's research direction is not this. Isn't it normal that we can't do it?"

Hearing Tang Wulin's rebuttal, the staff member didn't say anything more and just smiled softly. He didn't look down on the Tang Sect, he was born in the Leng family and he knew a bit about the Tang Sect.

He also knew that the Tang Sect's main research direction was military industry, and it was the most powerful in the entire federation. But since joining the City of Miracles, he had seen what truly advanced technology was, whether it was military or civilian.
