Chapter 45: No, No, No, Master Just Wants a Good Night's Rest

On the outskirts of Jin Hai City in the west.

The Gold Thread Bay dock was brightly lit.

In front of the containers, workers swiftly loaded boxes onto pallets. Once the pallets were full, forklifts transported them to nearby trucks.

In a nearby three-story office building.

A tall young man with a chiseled face in a black suit gazed out at the Gold Thread Bay dock through a window.

Behind him stood a middle-aged man, his butler, slightly bowing as he reported:

"Young Master Ye, as per your instructions, tomorrow, several of Liu Miao's long-term major clients will visit our Gold Thread Bay dock. If we lower our prices a bit, we can attract all of Jin Hai dock's major clients."

"Excellent. No matter what, we must secure those key clients tomorrow. Jin Hai dock, relying on small client orders, cannot sustain such a large operation."

The young man turned, a sly smile on his face.

"In less than six months, that wench Liu Miao will come crawling to me. Then, with a few special tactics, I can accomplish what my brother couldn't before he died. Haha."

"Bang."

Suddenly, the office door was kicked open.

A group of thugs, armed with sticks, stormed in.

The leading thug, with a scar across his face, looked at the butler and then the young man at the window, pointing his stick at the latter.

"Are you Ye Li?"

"No, I just work here." The young man quickly shook his head, pointing to the butler. "He is."

The butler was shocked, letting out a surprised "Ah."

The scar-faced thug, seeing the middle-aged man's expression, eyes gleaming coldly, said to his lackeys, "Don't hit that middle-aged man, Ye Li. I need to talk to him. You guys, make that young man at the window regret interfering."

"Yes."

The thugs rushed toward the window.

The young man, eyes wide in panic, shouted, "I'm Ye Li! I'm Ye Li! Talk to me, that middle-aged man is my butler."

Hearing this, the thugs stopped and looked at the scar-faced thug.

The thug spat on the floor, "I hate being lied to. Beat his face until it swells like a pig's. Don't touch the butler. The rest of you, smash his dock's goods."

"Ah!" Ye Li, shocked, tried to flee.

But several thugs pinned him down, slapping him repeatedly.

Slap, slap, slap...

Ah.

At the Lucky Community.

Zeng Shen had no idea that his casual mention of "Yin Hai Ye Family, Ye Li" caused Ye Li to be beaten to a pulp at Gold Thread Bay, and his dock's goods smashed to bits.

At that moment.

At 9:30, after enjoying a feast prepared by Xiao Ai, Zeng Shen took a stroll with Xiao Ti and Xiao Ai in his Divine Realm's Lingnan Industrial Zone to digest.

"The Lingnan Industrial Zone, centered around this No. 1 Space Warehouse, should have the surrounding trees cleared. On the left, by the mountain, we'll designate a large area for housing. And on the right, I plan to..."

Standing in front of the No. 1 Space Warehouse, Zeng Shen detailed his plans for the area to Xiao Ai and Xiao Ti, heading towards the two small open-pit iron mines.

The iron mines were over a kilometer from the No. 1 Space Warehouse, with three divine energy smelting copper furnaces nearby.

However, without fuel containing trace divine energy, they were not yet operational.

Thus, all the iron ore collected by the five intelligent mining vehicles was temporarily stored in the No. 1 Space Warehouse.

Xiao Ti nodded as Zeng Shen shared his plans for the Lingnan Zone, "Master, that's what I was thinking too."

"Seems we're on the same page," Zeng Shen smiled, rubbing his belly. "I'm not too full now. Let's head back, shower, and sleep."

"Yes, Master." Xiao Ai and Xiao Ti nodded.

Just as Zeng Shen was about to open the Divine Realm gate, he remembered he hadn't sparred with Xiao Ti yet to gain divine experience.

He turned to Xiao Ti, "Xiao Ti, as a combat maid, I'd like to spar with you."

Xiao Ti replied, "Okay."

Quickly, they stood facing each other.

"Xiao Ti, here I come," Zeng Shen said, using 20 faith points to activate a fivefold agility boost, rushing at Xiao Ti and executing a shoulder throw, pinning her to the ground.

[Host demonstrates unmatched valor, effortlessly defeating follower Xiao Ti, divine experience +1.]

"What? Only 1 divine experience point?"

Zeng Shen was stunned by the system's message but quickly puzzled over why he gained more experience winning than losing.

Could it be the wrong approach?

No, Xiao Ti is a combat maid of the mechanical type.

How could she be defeated so easily?

Could it be she let me win, hence only 1 divine experience point?

As Zeng Shen pondered this, he looked at Xiao Ti, who stood up and explained, "Master, before the catastrophe, both Xiao Ai and I have not awakened our abilities. You used a divine skill, increasing your speed fivefold. Though I could track your movements, my body couldn't keep up. I'm not your opponent."

Zeng Shen realized, feeling a bit regretful for wasting a day's divine experience boost.

"In that case, let's spar again tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Master."

Xiao Ai, linking arms with Zeng Shen, said, "Master seems a bit unhappy. Perhaps tonight, Xiao Ti and I could..."

Hearing this, Zeng Shen quickly shook his head, interrupting, "No, no, tonight I just want a good night's rest."

Xiao Ai covered her mouth with a giggle, while a faint smile appeared on Xiao Ti's usually indifferent, exquisite face.

The next day, as dawn broke with a gray hue.

Zeng Shen slowly opened his eyes and sat up.

"It's been a while since I woke up naturally."

Xiao Ai and Xiao Ti, in a white and pink sexy loose camisole nightwear, respectively.

Seeing Zeng Shen awake, they opened their eyes from fake sleep and sat up.

"Master, you can lie back down. Xiao Ti and I will make breakfast," Xiao Ai said.

"Okay."

Zeng Shen nodded, picking up his new phone from the bedside to check the time—just 5 AM.

Then.

He lay back down, focused his consciousness, and opened his attribute panel to check his divine experience.

[Divine Rank: 0 (66/100)]

"Only 34 more divine experience points to reach the first rank. I wonder what changes reaching the first rank will bring."

Zeng Shen murmured, glancing at his survival points.

[Survival Points: 8800]
