"We’ve amassed quite a debt of favor."

Lin Chen stood at the entrance of the Science Council, a wry smile on his face.

Yao Xuanji chuckled lightly, "We’ll repay it slowly in the future, together, no need to rush."

Lin Chen nodded, "This favor indeed must be repaid. Without him, we wouldn’t have the life we have today."

Yao Xuanji nodded in agreement with Lin Chen’s statement.

Although it was City Lord Mo Shuyan who helped the people obtain legal status, it was truly Ning Xiuzhu who made Lin Chen and the others free, allowing them to stand firm on their first step.

Ning Xiuzhu could have enslaved Lin Chen and the others initially, constantly exploiting them, but he opted for honest cooperation from the start, granting them freedom with great leniency.

It was due to the research and initiatives started by Ning Xiuzhu that the subsequent scientific exploration occurred, and Lost Ball 235 temporarily proved its worth, granting temporary safety.

Now he helps Lin Chen and the others develop various new equipment, especially the anti-sealed space belt, which truly is a life-saving divine artifact.

With this belt, even if targeted, Lin Chen and the others’ chances of escaping would be infinitely enhanced.

Lin Chen suddenly asked, "Did Dr. Ning ever mention where he’s from?"

Yao Xuanji shook his head, "All I know is that he’s not from Planet 49, he came from some big planet over here for a special research project."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "He’s got some background, might even be a big shot."

Yao Xuanji chuckled lightly, "That’s why our luck is pretty good..."

"Mm."

Lin Chen turned around and laughed, "Let’s go back and prepare for our departure to Frost Cold City."

Yao Xuanji asked, "Who’s going to Frost Cold City this time?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment and eventually shrugged, "Sort out the business, whoever wants to go can go. After all, we’ll return in the blink of an eye, won’t affect anything."

"Such a big event, I suppose others are all eager to join the excitement, and maybe see the sights of other cities."

Yao Xuanji responded with anticipation, "I wonder when those who went to the Heavenly God Realm will return, we still have too few people."

Lin Chen laughed, "Days of going to work weren’t easy, from our previous place, we used to work nine to five, five days a week, with only two days off. Many companies and enterprises worked six days, and there was overtime every day..."

Yao Xuanji widened his eyes, "Was it so hard?"

Lin Chen sighed, "Lots of people, technology lagging behind, the world only so big, resources limited, no way to avoid the hustle."

Yao Xuanji pondered, looking at the nearby high buildings, "Even with advanced technology here, ordinary people have to go to work. You see, those adventurers, even Warrior experts, work desperately for cultivation money."

Lin Chen laughed heartily, "If you observe carefully, you’ll find that the ordinary citizens of this planet do go to work, but actually it’s quite relaxed. Most jobs have been taken over by machines; even the elderly and frail, if unable to work, the official would give money, treat illnesses, although not living that well, it’s not bad either."

"On the contrary, those Warrior experts look impressive, but most live in poverty-stricken conditions, quite pathetic..."

Yao Xuanji couldn’t help but laugh, "Cultivation resources are so expensive, upgrading from Level 2 to Level 3, from Level 7 to Level 8, the costs along the way are astronomical. A Warrior born in a regular family struggles to earn this money."

Lin Chen laughed, "We’re Heaven Deities, dominators of realms; nowadays, just to make money, we became delivery personnel, isn’t it realistic?"

Yao Xuanji teased, "People say we’re robbing the Bank."

Lin Chen responded with a laugh, "It’s mutual consent; they should be grateful to us. After all, our charges aren’t that steep. As for the simplicity of the delivery, that’s our ability."

The two teased each other all the way back to the villa and showed everyone the equipment they received today, drawing amazement from the group.

After contacting Secretary Bai, they confirmed the departure time, then Lin Chen and Yao Xuanji met with Mo Shuyan and others at the city hall.

About a hundred people were at the city hall, including contestants Zhuang Liqun and Lei Leiheng, staff from the city hall, Lei Family members, standing in a large group in the square.

"Lord Mo, is everyone here?"

Mo Shuyan smiled, "Yes, and the vehicles and other supplies are ready as well, thanks for your help."

Lin Chen laughed, "It’s nothing, don’t be courteous, since everyone’s here, let’s go."

Lin Chen wielded the Void Pearl, storing everyone and everything.

Considering Mo Shuyan, Zhuang Liqun, and Lei Leiheng are mighty experts; Lin Chen dared not store them in the Linglong Tower, for fear they might sense something and invite new trouble.

The Void Pearl is Ranhai’s magical treasure, a portable space, except for its open ground, it has only one Main Hall for housing prisoners, which is empty now, making it perfect as a temporary transfer tool; at least everyone doesn’t have to stay in the terrifying abyss underneath the Linglong Tower.

Ranhai has now joined the Lei Family, so perhaps the Lei Family members know of this magical treasure’s existence, hence, using it freely; Ranhai, Qingluan, and others have seen Linglong Tower’s space, but as long as they’re not foolish, they probably won’t speak.

If their revelation causes us big trouble, they couldn’t bear the retaliation from our group.

Lin Chen performed a spatial jump, directly appearing outside Hanfrost City, releasing everyone and all vehicles.

The people felt they had just entered the Void Pearl, barely saw the Main Hall, and hadn’t had time to discuss it when suddenly they returned to reality, looking at the enormous city in the distance, everyone had a rather peculiar expression.

In the crowd, low exclamations arose.

"Wow, we really got to Hanfrost City, it’s too fast, just like a blink."

"So amazing, no wonder Space-Time Logistics is so popular, so fast!"

"I didn’t even get to see what the Main Hall looks like before we came out again, what a magical journey." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Seeing is believing, impressive!"

"If this divine power could be popularized, we wouldn’t need to ride ships for long whenever we go somewhere."

"True, and if the ship’s flight is long, you might encounter robbers mid-route, risking your life."

Secretary Bai smiled, "Why didn’t you use your Tower this time?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Everyone’s noble, inside it’s pitch black like a Little Black Room, it’s not quite polite, so I used another."

Secretary Bai curiously asked, "What’s the purpose of the Main Hall inside?"

Lin Chen answered calmly, "This Void Pearl originally belonged to Sea Burning Immortal Monarch. Yes, the one who joined the Lei Family, Ranhai."
