"These people are way too intense!"

Gu Yuexi stared at the Company report on the light curtain, her eyes going wide: "We already told them to take turns resting, but they still refuse to rest and actually volunteer to work overtime!"

Lin Chen couldn’t help but laugh: "Did you think everyone’s like you, wishing you could just lie flat on the spot, you little slacker?"

Gu Yuexi shot back, "Talk is talk, jokes are jokes, but it’s not like I’ve been slacking on the actual work."

Chu Jiaxue chuckled, "Them being diligent is even better for us. That way we can take fewer shifts, maybe even take days off."

Nalan Wushuang teased, "They’re new arrivals, and their Pockets are empty. Of course they have to work hard to earn money. Only if they make money can they buy all kinds of fun stuff and Cultivation Resources."

"Our line of work is indeed very profitable, but we’re starting from scratch with a weak foundation. The early stage is definitely tough. Look, just a single fully equipped cruise ship—how much do you think that costs?"

"If you buy a cruise ship, you have to staff it with a bunch of pretty women, right? You can’t be drinking cheap beer and eating low-end food. Once you add everything up, that’s no small number."

"And that’s just a tiny example. In the Federation, as long as you want to spend money, there’s always somewhere to spend it. If you want to satisfy all your hobbies and enjoyments, that’s going to be a massive figure..."

Lin Chen couldn’t stop laughing. What Nalan Wushuang was talking about was one of the Saints who possessed a Star Chart Spirit. He said he wanted to buy a luxury cruise ship, fill it up with pretty women, and then sail off on vacation.

Lin Chen didn’t see any problem with that. When it comes to spending money, if both sides are willing, what’s more normal than that?

Back in the Heavenly God Realm, if these people wanted a woman, wasn’t it just a matter of saying the word?

They could do whatever they wanted, as long as they didn’t end up on the Federation’s wanted list for hunting and killing.

Lin Chen wasn’t going to interfere with their hobbies. As long as they did their shifts properly, everything else was up to them.

With these people joining, Chu Jiaxue and the others suddenly had more Time. They all went into Closed Door Cultivation one after another to improve their Strength.

Even though there wasn’t much threat right now, they’d gotten the Cultivation Resources back. If they didn’t work hard on cultivation, wouldn’t that be unjustifiable?

Anyway, once you cultivate to the peak, you’ll hit a bottleneck and get stuck there. When that Time comes, what can’t you do?

If Dajia gets just a bit stronger, won’t home be that much safer?

They couldn’t let Lin Chen handle everything on his own.

While the women cultivated, Lin Chen hit a bottleneck and slipped into a laid-back lifestyle.

The Creation God liked going to Nightclubs. Going alone felt boring, so he came to pull Lin Chen along.

Lin Chen said irritably, "You drag me to Nightclubs to drink wine with other pretty women, and you’re not afraid my Wife will beat me up?"

The Creation God gave a Haha Laugh: "It’s precisely because they’re that gorgeous that they feel secure with you. The women outside can’t possibly compare to them, right?"

For a moment, Lin Chen was actually speechless. "Two people drinking wine is a little lacking in numbers."

The Creation God blinked his eyes: "Then we call the Fire God?"

He paused, then added, "Don’t call the Wind God. That guy’s too flashy. Hang out with him and all the girls get flirted away by him."

Lin Chen couldn’t help but laugh: "A few divine spirits going to a Bar to pick up girls, you all don’t feel embarrassed?"

The Creation God chuckled, "We’re not relying on Strength, we’re relying on charm to flirt, plus there’s wine to drink—there’s some fun in that."

Lin Chen waved his hand. "If we’re going, then call everyone. We’re all in the same boat now. Don’t make it look like we’ve got some huge grudge and are forming little cliques."

The Creation God curled his lip. "Fine, fine, call them. But let’s lay down the rules first: when we’re out having fun, we forbid revealing our Strength and forbid throwing money around. If you want to pick up girls, it’s all on your personal charm!"

Lin Chen was amused by the Creation God’s bizarre rules.

As Heaven Deity, they’d always been high and mighty. Whatever they wanted could be had with a word, or even just a glance.

Now that they were in the Federation and their identities were suppressed, they were actually playing a new Game just for laughs.

"Deal!"

Lin Chen sent out a group message and immediately got responses from the Netherworld God, the Wind God, the Light God, and the others.

After all, they’d come to a different world, and everything was new. Going out for fun had a lot of appeal for everyone.

Lin Chen agreeing to join in and taking the initiative to send an invitation to the Netherworld God and the others was actually also his way of resolving some old grudges.

Man, what problem can’t be solved over a round of wine?

If one round doesn’t solve it, then have another.

Lin Chen didn’t want these people to come join here yet still harbor ulterior motives and form their own little factions.

He could accept that in the future everyone might have different ideas and part ways amicably. What he wouldn’t accept was scheming behind his back, or even a backstab.

The Netherworld God and the others clearly had their own thoughts too. After all, Lin Chen was currently number one on Planet 49 and was also their Boss for the Time being. Resolving old grudges and building a good relationship was the right thing to do.

This was a mutual, tacit "running toward each other."

When Chu Jiaxue and the other women heard that the people were going to a Bar to drink wine and compete at picking up girls, all of them couldn’t help but giggle.

Manage them?

They couldn’t be bothered.

They understood Lin Chen’s purpose in doing this, so of course they wouldn’t stop him.

As for whether Lin Chen would meet some pretty woman and then fall for another pretty woman, they weren’t worried.

Even though there were plenty of women around Lin Chen, he wasn’t the type who wanted to flirt with every single one he met, much less sleep with all of them.

The feelings between him and the women around him had been built by crossing the line between life and death again and again in Dangerous situations. Along the way, Lin Chen had dealt with more pretty women than one could count. Without some life-and-death experience, he simply wouldn’t develop feelings for someone.

Hadn’t he interacted with absolute stunners like Mi Xiaowan and Ning Xiayi purely as friends, never stepping over the line even a little?

Does Mi Xiaowan not like him?

Does Ning Xiayi not like him?

Plenty of women like him. If he really accepted every single one of them, then he’d truly have a harem of three thousand beauties.

The place where Lin Chen and the others gathered wasn’t necessarily Jinghai City. Every City had its own unique flavor, and since they all used Star Sky Jump to travel, didn’t drinking wine taste the same wherever they went?

Friendship between men forms especially fast.

As they downed round after round of wine, all the restraint and awkwardness from being new arrivals melted away. One by one, they accepted their new identities as Federation citizens.

Each of those Saints was full of ambition. Back in the Heavenly God Realm, because of the issue of Divine Status, they could never achieve another Promotion and were stuck at the Saint Realm.

But now that they were in the Federation, they had a brand-new Cultivation Path.

They could climb to higher mountain peaks!

As long as they could reach Level 6 Peak, that would basically be equivalent to Promotion to Heaven Deity. Advancing to the Seventh Level would mean surpassing a Heaven Deity, and reaching Level 8 would grant them a certain amount of influence throughout the entire Federation.

Which one of these people who had reached Saint Peak wasn’t a peerlessly gifted genius, and which one didn’t harbor some ambition in their heart?

Sure, there were some salted fish who just wanted to lie flat, but the vast majority worked hard to earn money precisely so they could buy better Cultivation Resources, help themselves Raise Strength faster, and reach a higher realm.

Lin Chen was naturally happy to see this happen. Although these people worked for him and helped him make money, what he wanted even more was for them to grow stronger and go even farther!
