2637 Chef Supreme’s Limit!
Ta Lei and Qin Yu were all aware of the magnitude of the impending catastrophe. It was beyond anything they could dream up!
But as long as Lin Yuan said that he was confident in keeping Thick Soil City safe, the two of them believed him without hesitation.
Ta Lei and Qin Yu voiced their stances,
“Master, we will stand by Thick Soil City. We are ready for any of your instructions!”
“Young Master, I will do my best to assist Ta Lei and complete Thick Soil City’s organization!”
Ta Lei always addressed Lin Yuan as ‘Master/Teacher’, and Lin Yuan had only corrected him once. Since this was how Ta Lei wanted to address him, there was no need to try and change him. However, there was no actual master-disciple relationship between the two of them.
It was true that Lin Yuan had helped Ta Lei to become a Class 3 Creation Master, but all of the knowledge had come from Genius.
There were numerous others who received the same treatment as Ta Lei. For example, Bei Xu and Bu Po had also been taught and guided by Lin Yuan and Genius. However, the two of them did not see Lin Yuan as their Master like Ta Lei did.
At first, Qin Yu had been very nervous when he found out that Ta Lei addressed Lin Yuan that way. If Ta Lei was truly Lin Yuan’s disciple, it would mean that he was his ‘little master’!
But as time went on, Qin Yu realized that was not actually the case.
Ta Lei saw Lin Yuan as his Master, but Lin Yuan did not see Ta Lei as his disciple.
After realizing this, Qin Yu became much more relaxed in his interactions with Ta Lei. He stopped following Ta Lei’s decisions completely and would give his own opinions to initiate discussions with Ta Lei.
Ta Lei was very conservative, but Qin Yu was more daring. Thus, he could make up for Ta Lei’s flaws.
Despite slowly realizing that he was more capable than Ta Lei, Qin Yu did not feel any derision or arrogance toward Ta Lei. He continued to view them as equals.
Qin Yu knew that Lin Yuan had only placed him there to train him but would not leave him with Ta Lei permanently. He would eventually be assigned somewhere else!
What Lin Yuan said next shocked and excited Qin Yu.
“From now on, Ta Lei will manage Thick Soil City on his own. Qin Yu will be in charge of the Startling Lines Continent’s defensive base that will be built outside of Thick Soil City.
“The Samsara and Turning Wheel Realm Dictators will go with Qin Yu. Ta Lei, if you have any needs, you can contact Qin Yu! The two of you must have become close with each other after working together for such a long time.”
Qin Yu nodded seriously. He knew that his chance was finally there!
When he was by Ta Lei’s side, he could only support Ta Lei but did not hold any decision-making power. Regardless of how well-run Thick Soil City was, it was all due to Ta Lei’s effort and not his own.
But now that Lin Yuan was going to send him to manage the defensive base outside Thick Soil City, he could finally call the shots!
The achievements he made in the future would definitely allow him to shine in Lin Yuan’s eyes.
Lin Yuan assigning the Samsara and Turning Wheel Realm Dictators to him was also a sign that he deemed him to be more capable than Ta Lei.
Ta Lei also understood that. However, he was not the type to be competitive and found happiness in stability.
He was only able to grow to such an extent within such a short time because Su Yiren and Luo Lan had helped him. At the same time, he was determined not to let Lin Yuan down.
Ta Lei was always aware of his capabilities. Just like Bei Xu and Bu Po, he came from nothing. But unlike them, he did not have much tenacity. To put it bluntly, he was just a laid-back character!
Regardless of how hard he worked, the shortcomings of his character limited him to only being capable of properly looking after Thick Soil City!
A while ago, Ta Lei had been extremely troubled by this and complained to Su Yiren and Luo Lan about it.
Both of them had given him the same reply, which was not to overextend himself beyond his limits. Doing things right was more important than doing more things!
After taking their advice, all Ta Lei wanted to do now was to do his best in his role as Thick Soil City’s City Lord.
It could be said that of all the members of the Astronomical Parliament, Ta Lei had the least prospects. His path had essentially ended there.
But Lin Yuan believed that Ta Lei was enough. Otherwise, he would not have allowed him to manage Thick Soil City on his own!
From the way that he was treating Ta Lei, all the members of the Astronomical Parliament knew that Lin Yuan was extremely kind.
“Master, if I need anything, I will let Qin Yu know! If he needs me, I won’t hesitate to help either!”
Lin Yuan handed a copy of Bai Qinghuan’s plan to Qin Yu.
Once Sweet Vanquish and the 15,000,000 Land Imps arrived by Qin Yu’s side, all he needed to do was act according to this plan!
After handing things over to Qin Yu, Lin Yuan started helping the experts to evolve their feys’ grades and qualities.
The Pure Land of Bliss now covered one square kilometer. With this size, Lin Yuan estimated he could help at least 500 feys with their World Cleansings. This would save a lot of time and increase the rate at which he accumulated spirit qi crystals!
Nonetheless, this still occupied Lin Yuan for two days.
Firstly, this was because Lin Yuan had established this system in the Startling Lines Continent much earlier than he had in the Radiance Federation. Additionally, it was much easier to evolve plant-type feys with the Sacred Wood bloodline than regular plant-type feys.
Now that he had amassed another mountain of spirit qi crystals, Lin Yuan once again had a wealth of resources at his disposal. His method of using his resources to nurture experts who would then give even more resources back to him was a sustainable one! Through this method, his store of resources would only snowball.
Lin Yuan learned from Keira that pure spirit qi and elemental energy were also considered invaluable resources in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
He wanted to snowball as many resources as he could so they could help him in his endeavors in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
The experts gathered in Thick Soil City had come from the Divine Wood, Iron Hammer, and Great Lush Federations. Lin Yuan noticed that they got along well, and there was no friction between them. This pleased him greatly.
By the time Lin Yuan left, Sweet Vanquish had already led the 15,000,000 Land Imps to the Startling Lines Continent and met up with Qin Yu.
Sweet Vanquish dared not show any disrespect toward Qin Yu.
Given that Lin Yuan had assigned the management of such a massive operation to Qin Yu alone, it meant that Lin Yuan had to have great trust and belief in Qin Yu’s abilities. Otherwise, Lin Yuan would never have made such a decision!
With Sweet Vanquish so cooperative toward Qin Yu, it went without saying that the Land Imps under him were even more obedient!
Qin Yu had not contracted a Vitality Sloth because he did not see himself as just being talented at internal governance. With his Polar Night Blue Sky Scorpion beast patterns and the Polar Night Blue Sky Scorpion that Lin Yuan had helped him to contract, Qin Yu felt that only utilizing his talents in internal governance would be a waste of the trust and resources Lin Yuan had invested into him!
Qin Yu knew that Lin Yuan was extremely powerful—more powerful than Qin Yu could ever imagine.
Nonetheless, Qin Yu still placed his hopes on eventually becoming Lin Yuan’s bodyguard.
…
Once Lin Yuan returned to the Radiance Federation, he continued gathering the spirit qi crystals before he handed a large batch of resources to the Moon Empress so that she could allocate them as she saw fit.
Lin Yuan had already told the Moon Empress about his goals, so she would definitely know what to do with these resources!
Even if Lin Yuan had the time, he did not want to waste it on networking with the other federations. He preferred to use the time to produce more resources in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
…
With the Land Imps’ help, Hu Quan was basically done building the living area for the Hundred Questions Beasts! The details of the interior and other decorations would only be completed a long time later.
Hu Quan would lead his subordinates in doing up every room later on. But now that the rudimentary version of the base was complete, the Hundred Questions Beasts could begin using it.
Genius and the Hundred Questions Beasts it had selected went to the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s breeding base and selected 100,000 young Hundred Questions Beasts. These young Hundred Questions Beasts could not even open their eyes yet and were all newborns.
All of them had unattractive fur colors and could not be considered beauties. If they were sent to the market, it was unlikely they would be picked and bought. After all, one only needed to spend another 200 Federation dollars, and they could buy a much more attractive Hundred Questions Beast! Even the poorest family only had to tighten their belts, and they would be able to scrape 200 Federation dollars together!
Once these Hundred Questions Beasts were moved into the Spirit Lock spatial zone, they would be carefully nurtured by the matured Hundred Questions Beasts.
…
Lin Yuan could not help but think that despite the unfortunate circumstances of their births, these Hundred Questions Beasts ended up being the luckiest of their peers!
Just as Lin Yuan was about to go into the Spirit Lock spatial zone to take a look at the Soldier Ration Radishes that had been moved into the Spirit Lock spatial zone and were being looked after by the Medusa Snake Demons, he received a message from the Moon Empress.
[Moon Empress]: Little Yuan, the people from the Vast Sea Labyrinth have arrived in the Radiance Federation and have something to discuss with us. If you have time tonight, why don’t you come with me to meet them?
Normally, the Moon Empress did not bring up interactions with other factions with Lin Yuan because she knew he was not invested in such matters. She informed him now because he had mentioned wanting to interact with the Vast Sea Labyrinth.
Lin Yuan smiled when he saw the Moon Empress’ message.
[Lin Yuan]: Master, I am heading to the Radiant Moon Palace now to meet with you! It just so happens that I need to ask your opinion on something.
Lin Yuan had cleansed his body of impurities numerous times. He had also consumed the Earth Center Fine Milk. Thus, his genetic model had long exceeded average human limits. Lin Yuan’s body could not be cleaner.
Moreover, the spirit qi clothes that he wore also repelled dust.
But after not showering for almost a week, Lin Yuan still drew a warm bath in his room in the Return from Faraway Mansion before heading to the Radiant Moon Palace.
…
The Moon Empress was seated at a table and looked at the thick stack of documents in her hand before handing most of them to Cicada Song. She knew that Cicada Song was more capable than her when it came to internal governance.
The Spacetime Elder only showed her favor because she had the highest Creation Mastery and was the strongest expert among all the Radiance Federation’s royalty. Lin Yuan was another contributing reason.
The Spacetime Elder had contracted the Lifespan Mouse and attained an endless lifespan.
Although he had relinquished his position and did not need to worry about anything anymore, he was still trying to protect the Radiance Federation.
Ever since the Moon Empress found out about the existence of the Sky Beyond the Clouds from Lin Yuan, her sights were also no longer restricted to the main world. She did not want to spend all of her time on internal governance because it would delay her increment in power.
They were in the midst of a crisis. Once the dead spirits emerged and things started progressing as planned, the Moon Empress intended to hand everything to Cicada Song so she could focus on increasing her power.
Recently, the Moon Empress had been busy, but she had also been troubled by one matter—Chef Supreme had sent a message saying he would reach his limit within the next five years.
Chef Supreme was around the same age as the Spacetime Elder. While the Spacetime Elder had been establishing the Radiance Federation, he had suffered numerous hidden injuries. The same went for Chef Supreme as well.
Chef Supreme’s contributions could not be ignored when it came to building the Radiance Federation that allowed the Moon Empress and Bamboo Monarch to grow in such an outstanding manner!
Chef Supreme had provided the Moon Empress and Bamboo Monarch with resources continuously after noticing their potential.
This was why the Moon Empress and Bamboo Monarch had such deep respect for Chef Supreme.
Now that she learned Chef Supreme was not long for this world, the Moon Empress, who had attained an endless lifespan, felt intense sorrow.
She knew that Lin Yuan was very close with Chef Supreme’s disciple and daughter. Thus, after some thought, she decided not to hide this from him.
There was no way that Chef Supreme’s people would tell Lin Yuan about this. If she did not tell him either, he would be filled with regret if he was not able to see Chef Supreme one final time!
The Lifespan Mouse’s existence was a miracle in itself.
When the Moon Empress last spoke to Lin Yuan, she learned he only had three Lifespan Mice left after giving one to the Spacetime Elder.
She never thought about asking Lin Yuan to give a Lifespan Mouse to Chef Supreme.
If there were still only three Lifespan Mice left and Lin Yuan wanted to give one to Chef Supreme, the Moon Empress would advise him to think twice before giving away something so precious.
The Moon Empress intended to listen to Lin Yuan’s question once they met.
She would tell Lin Yuan about Chef Supreme after they were done meeting with the people from the Vast Sea Labyrinth.
This would prevent him from showing his grief when they met with the Vast Sea Labyrinth and cause them to misunderstand that the people from the Radiance Federation were weak and incapable.
Lin Yuan’s question for the Moon Empress was indeed related to the Lifespan Mice.
Although he could not produce the Lifespan Mouse in large batches, as long as he was willing to nurture the army of Hundred Questions Beasts, he would still have an endless supply of the Lifespan Mouse.
Lin Yuan’s question was not about how to use the Lifespan Mice. He would never ask such a ludicrous question.
An endless lifespan would cause many issues for the main world. But Lin Yuan was no longer restricted to the main world.
