Chapter 66: Sister Ti, the Queen of the Southern City

Satisfied with the system's notifications, Zeng Shen nodded and left the martial arts hall. He returned to the RV and glanced at the display, noting it was already 3 PM.

"Is it too early to head out of town for first-time credit?" Zeng Shen murmured to himself, just as his phone chimed with a notification from Xiao Ai.

"Master, the video edit is ready. Please check if it meets your satisfaction."

"That was quick," Zeng Shen replied. Not seeing the video yet, he asked, "Where's the video?"

"It's still buffering, currently at 80%."

Just as Xiao Ai's message arrived, a notification for the video appeared in the chat.

Zeng Shen clicked to download and opened it.

Instantly, he was captivated.

The video depicted the abandoned hospital transforming into a magnificent palace as the progress bar moved. At the palace's entrance, two figures appeared: Li Yuqing, in a golden dress with a sword, exuding ethereal grace, and Liu Tongtong, in a pink robe with nine tails subtly visible, embodying the seductive allure of Su Daji.

As soon as they exchanged lines and gestures, an array of sword auras and peach blossoms filled the screen, showcasing stunning visual effects reminiscent of big-budget productions.

After watching, Zeng Shen couldn't help but marvel at the video's quality, akin to something only a top-tier editor could produce.

The seamless transition of the hospital into a grand palace was not a feat just anyone could accomplish. The fight sequences, with their dazzling effects, could easily lead viewers to believe they were created by a high-end team after extensive work.

If they knew Xiao Ai had crafted this in under an hour, their reactions would be priceless.

"The video looks excellent," Zeng Shen messaged Xiao Ai.

Xiao Ai quickly replied, "Hehe, thank you, Master. Will you be home for dinner tonight, or should we take No. 1 for a spin to scout for future intelligent species?"

"I won't be home. I'll roam around Jinhai for another hour, then head to the outskirts when it gets dark," Zeng Shen replied.

"Understood, Master. Ti and I are heading to the motor vehicle department to get our plates."

"Alright."

After responding, Zeng Shen drove the RV leisurely around Jinhai's main district.

Jinhai's main district was vast, and he had only explored a few major roads for survival points.

He had yet to venture into more obscure areas like the old city, urban villages, and old streets.

With some free time now, Zeng Shen decided to explore these areas to see if any first-time credits might reveal hints of intelligent species.

However, after some wandering, he only triggered three new first-time survival points, none related to intelligent species.

Even those remotely related were merely hints about other deities' followers.

Zeng Shen considered if he could entice these followers away.

But upon closer inspection, these followers weren't transformed plants or animals but regular people turned into followers by other deities.

These transformations resembled Master Ma's method of turning corpses into fire slaves after paying a price, or Li Yuqing's revival of Liu Tongtong into a ghostly being using special materials and her innate gifts.

Thus, Zeng Shen concluded that most deities who survived three years had methods to cultivate their own intelligent species and followers.

After a fruitless search, Zeng Shen decided to head to the outskirts.

Just then, a honk sounded from behind.

Looking at the display, he saw two identical Wuling RVs following him.

At that moment, a video call request came through on his phone from the group chat with Xiao Ai and Xiao Ti.

Zeng Shen accepted the call, seeing Xiao Ai in a fitted white business suit and Xiao Ti in a black cloak-style suit, each driving a vehicle.

Seeing Zeng Shen, Xiao Ai smiled, "Master."

"Master," Xiao Ti echoed softly.

"Yes," Zeng Shen nodded, "Are those RVs behind you two?"

"Yes, Master. We just got the plates and saw your vehicle heading south, so we followed to greet you," Xiao Ai explained.

"I see. Now that you have the plates, help me find a secluded spot nearby where I can upgrade your RVs to divine energy vehicles," Zeng Shen said.

Xiao Ti suggested, "Master, I know this area well. Have No. 1 navigate to the Gui Jin abandoned building."

Zeng Shen nodded, instructing No. 1 to head to the Gui Jin abandoned building while continuing to chat with them.

During their conversation, Zeng Shen mentioned Li Yuqing's interest in meeting Xiao Ai.

He also recounted his encounter with Li Yuqing and Liu Tongtong that morning and his drunken experience that night, sharing it with Xiao Ai.

After listening, Xiao Ai mused, "Master, you want me to find out if Mistress is attracted to both genders or just has a special bond with Tongtong."

"As expected, Xiao Ai, you're the smartest. You immediately understood my intent," Zeng Shen praised.

Xiao Ai smiled slightly, "Since you're curious, when do you plan to arrange our meeting?"

"Tomorrow night."

"Very well, Master."

While chatting with Xiao Ai and Xiao Ti, No. 1's speed and performance quickly outpaced the Wuling RVs, soon leaving them behind.

It turned into a narrow, single-lane concrete road flanked by wild grass, leading to a thirty-story unfinished building casting a long shadow in the sunset.

"Is that the Gui Jin abandoned building ahead?" Zeng Shen asked, pointing his phone camera toward the structure.

"Yes, Master," Xiao Ti confirmed.

"I've been to the southern city several times and never knew there was an abandoned building here," Zeng Shen laughed self-deprecatingly, turning the camera back to himself.

"Giggles," Xiao Ai laughed, "It's normal you didn't know, Master. While we were away from Jinhai, Ti cleared the southern district of all major forces. Now, when Ti walks there, everyone respectfully calls her Sister Ti or Big Sister. Privately, they call her the Queen of the Southern City."

"They're just being polite," Xiao Ti said modestly.

"Haha, no need to be modest, Ti. But since you've sorted them out, I only have one request: ensure they follow the rules. Make money together if possible, but no fighting and causing trouble for the public. We don't want too much attention from the authorities before we're ready."

"Understood, Master. Knowing you dislike disturbances, I've already instructed them accordingly," Xiao Ti assured.

"Good."

Zeng Shen nodded, then added, "Also, see if any of them are decent people. When the catastrophe comes, let them and their families into our refuge to help maintain order."

"Yes, Master. Anything else?" Xiao Ti asked.

"I think that's it for now. If anything comes to mind, I'll—"

His words abruptly stopped.

A sudden, urgent voice rang in his mind.

[Warning! Warning! The Gui Jin abandoned building is occupied by a swarm of intelligent wasp-like creatures. Currently, a fourth-tier war god deity is besieged by a group of fallen ones. With your current strength, getting involved would lead to certain doom. Evacuate immediately.]
