"This hotel is quite large, might be able to accommodate thousands of people."

Everyone stood in the hotel lobby, waiting for the reception staff to help them check in.

Lin Chen and his family were considerable in number. Originally, Lin Chen intended to handle the accommodation issues himself, but Mo Shuyan interjected, merging them into the competition team, and covered all needs as family of the team members.

After the procedures were completed, everyone checked into their respective rooms.

Mo Shuyan instructed, "There’s a welcome reception tonight for all competing participants. You four should attend with me, but during the day, there’s no schedule; you can rest in the hotel or explore Frost Cold City."

"Though everyone is on the same planet, different regions and governors’ philosophies result in unique development styles in each city. You can experience the local customs and culture."

"If you encounter any trouble, you can call Secretary Bai at any time."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Lin Chen and the others each found their rooms and then gathered together.

"How about going out for a walk?"

Everyone nodded.

After all, it’s still morning – you can’t just go to sleep straight away, right?

The ladies all agreed, looking excited.

Even though they have practiced cultivation for hundreds, even thousands of years, as young, beautiful women, who wouldn’t love shopping and buying things?

Perhaps in the cultivation world, they had experienced too much and might not find many things interesting anymore, but here in the Federation, the new technological world offered plenty of novelty.

The Federation’s high technology created all sorts of entertainment options, bringing them newfound enjoyment.

"Let’s go to the mall and check out the clothes here; the styles must be different..."

"I want to see what new games are here; let’s go to the arcade, there must be lots of fun stuff."

"I’d like to browse the bookstore. Many books are only available in physical stores and can’t be fully bought online."

"Finding good food is a must! Every place’s culinary style is different. When visiting somewhere new, food is a must-experience, which can’t be solved online."

"Though we’ve been here before for deliveries, we were always in a hurry and never had time to stop. We can look for good places to eat and play, and come back anytime when we have the time."

The ladies chatted enthusiastically with soaring interest.

They each had their own hobbies, but food was a common interest.

After discussing, they decided to head to the largest and busiest commercial center in Frost Cold City, each to explore their interests, then gather to enjoy food together.

Shopping can be done with husbands or friends; while many people might not ensure comfort, eating together noisily with family is the best!

Once everyone gathered, they left together.

The elders stayed behind, only the young people who liked new things and moving around came.

Gu Yuexi and others arrived at the commercial center, formed small groups, and dispersed. Lin Chen accompanied his parents, Aunt Feng Yazhen, and friends from the Human World Han Wei and Zhou Rong, with Chu Jiaxue joining as well, being the rightful daughter-in-law.

It’s the same in the Human World; it is the same now.

Ever since bringing Han Wei and others to the Barren Wilderness, he hardly spent time with them. Although Lin Chen didn’t distance himself, a sense of distance inevitably formed.

It’s like childhood friends reuniting after years apart; although the enthusiasm remains, when one is a regular employee and the other a millionaire, can the relationship remain the same?

This time, Lin Chen brought everyone to the Federation. Their villas were close together, so with nothing to do, they’d often gather for meals and chats, rekindling previously distant relations.

Occasional interactions can create distance, but living together, frequent contact makes others see you unchanged, closer and more familiar.

Additionally, with Chenxing Logistics starting, everyone involved in shared topics and careers ensured the conversation never dried.

"How’s your cultivation lately?"

After Lin Chen departed in the Immortal Realm, his associates naturally lacked no cultivation technique or resources, and with support, cultivation progressed quickly.

Under normal circumstances, their progress would be considered rapid, but it still lagged behind Lin Chen, who sped far ahead.

By the time of arrival in the Federation, everyone was already an immortal but a bit away from becoming a Daluo Immortal.

Feng Yazhen said with a smile, "It’s going smoothly. I’ve entered the Fourth Level, but might be stuck in the Fourth Level for a while."

Lin Yuan laughed, "I benefited from my previous body; now I’m Level 5."

Previously, Lin Yuan’s body was possessed by the Demon Emperor, rapidly advancing; though his realm dropped significantly upon his soul’s return, his physical attribute remained. Switching to the warrior cultivation system allowed him to quickly reach Level 5, a notable level in Jinghai City.

Lin Chen chuckled, "No rush, we have plenty of time; even if your cultivation realm is slightly lower, your lifespan is at least over ten thousand years. We can train first, and if it becomes tough, we return to cultivation and take it slowly."

Feng Yazhen grinned, "Though our journey to the Federation was a bit of a mess, the life now is really wonderful—similar to our previous lifestyle but even better, more convenient, and advanced."

Lin Chen nodded with a smile, "Indeed, look at Yue Yue. She became a Heaven Deity but feels restless all day with nothing to do. Arriving in the Federation, she instantly let go and enjoyed herself, playing so much that she skips sleep."

Chu Jiaxue laughed, "We should let her take shifts to experience the life of an ox or horse."

Everyone laughed heartily.

With the conversation ending, everyone was already inside the commercial center. Lin Chen waved and laughed, "Let’s go to explore; buy whatever you like, I’m footing the bill today."

Han Wei smiled, "You must be ready to bleed today."

Lin Chen chuckled, "You’re all working at the company now; consider it a company benefit!"

Lin Chen’s words were merely playful; although these people held employee roles at the company, drawing employee salaries, privately, even as servants in the Immortal Realm, Fan Cuihong and Liu Yuqi were treated like family, living in villas with all cultivation resources covered and extra money given.

In conclusion, everyone had cultivation and money to spend.

Feng Yazhen placed her arm around Lin Chen’s, smiling, "I’ve been wanting to shop for clothes for ages; you must help me choose today..."
