My aunt left around 9 p.m.

Zhao Lin nestled against her mother, her eyelids so heavy she could barely open them, her little face flushed, looking quite endearing.

Luo Yumei, carrying a bag in one hand and supporting Zhao Lin with the other, turned to look at Luo Fei as she changed her shoes at the door and instructed, "Xiao Fei, you must come to the company's press conference at the convention center at 10 a.m. tomorrow. The first batch of products is officially launched, and as a shareholder, you can't be absent."

Luo Fei replied, "Okay, I'll go."

Luo Yumei nodded and led Zhao Lin outside. The sound of a car starting could be heard coming from the courtyard.

The car then drove away, its taillights flashing briefly at the corner of the village entrance before disappearing from sight.

Luo Fei returned to his room, closed the door, and took out his phone from his ring.

He was slightly taken aback the moment the screen lit up.

There were hundreds of unread messages, and the flashing red numbers on the WeChat icon made him a little dizzy. The updates in his Moments were so numerous that he couldn't keep up with them all.

He leaned against the headboard and began to read through the articles one by one.

Su Wanqing sent several messages. The earliest one was at the beginning of the live broadcast in the morning: "Luo Fei, is that you on TV?" Not long after, she sent another one: "Is that you flying? You look like me."

The last message was sent after the nuclear explosion: "Are you alright???"

Luo Fei replied: "It's nothing. It's me."

Luo Ying and her roommates also sent many messages.

Luo Ying sent even more messages than Su Wanqing, posting more than a dozen messages from morning till night. The content ranged from "Brother, is that you?" to "How come you're on TV?" to "You can actually fly?" and "You're not even afraid of nuclear bombs?"

Luo Fei replied with a smiley face emoji.

Former colleagues also sent messages one after another, and some people who rarely contacted me suddenly appeared today.

Some people asked, "Luo Fei, who exactly are you?" Others asked, "Is that military uniform you're wearing real?"

Their tone was a mixture of shock, curiosity, and other complex emotions that were hard to describe.

Luo Fei didn't reply to everyone individually. He only replied to a few people with whom he had a good relationship before, saying "Thank you for your concern." He ignored the replies to the others.

The university dormitory group chat was in an uproar.

The eldest brother, Zhang Zhigang, sent the most direct message in the group chat: "Third brother, what kind of monster are you?"

The second brother, Yan Lei, continued, "Did the third brother secretly evolve without telling us?"

The fourth brother, Zhao Zixuan, was the last to speak up, posting only one sentence: "Brother Fei, I give up." He also added a kneeling emoji.

Luo Fei replied in the group chat: "Let's get together another day, it's on me."

The eldest brother replied instantly: "You said it, you can't go back on your word."

The second son said, "I'll bring my wife along."

The fourth brother said, "I'll make the arrangements."

Luo Fei smiled and placed his phone on the bedside table.

He turned over, closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep—unaware that at that moment, someone in Mo Heng's location had been arranged to watch the live broadcast and replay all day.

In Mohen’s camp, a television set had been on since morning.

Lin Zongwei's family, along with the mediator Fang Min, were seated in the canteen. A pot of porridge and several bowls were placed in front of them, but the porridge remained untouched, and the bowls were empty.

They sat there from the start of the live stream in the morning until it ended, and then played the replay many times.

They saw Luo Fei in his military uniform and general's star, saw him soaring through the sky, saw him leading fifteen armored soldiers to destroy all military targets on Dongdu Island, saw him roaring at the center of the nuclear explosion and bursting with white light, and saw him withstand four nuclear bombs.

For an entire day, the five of them didn't eat a single bite of food, drink a single drop of water, or utter a single word.

Lin Zongwei's face was pale and bloodless.

His mouth was slightly open, as if he were muttering something, but upon closer listening, no sound could be heard. His fingers were unconsciously rubbing his knees until the skin was red and almost broken, but he was completely unaware of the pain.

Yang Xue stared intently at the television screen. The replay had ended, and a regular program was playing, showing a woman happily laughing while washing clothes.

Yang Xue looked at the woman, but her eyes were unfocused, as if she were gazing at some distant place.

Wang Cuifen sat in the corner, curled up in a ball.

Her lips were trembling, not from the cold, but from fear.

Fang Min sat on the side; she was the quietest one.

She didn't tremble, didn't cry, and didn't turn pale. She just sat there quietly, motionless. But her mind was racing.

She thought about her career, the families she had mediated, and the victims of cyberbullying after she exposed them.

She used to think that those were just for the sake of the show, for the sake of viewership. She filmed them because the audience liked them, and it was just a matter of mutual consent.

But now, she remembered what Luo Fei had said—"You don't even care about your own parents, what right do you have to meddle in other people's business?"

Her face turned pale.

Mo Heng stood at the entrance of the cafeteria, looking at the five people, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He turned and left.

Back in his cabin, he summoned his adjutant and instructed, "Pull up the surveillance footage. The footage from the camp's cameras each time Mr. Luo came. Find the clearest one, and crop out a clear shot of me standing with him. It needs to be a frontal shot."

The adjutant paused for a moment, then asked, "General, what do you need these for?"

Mo Heng glanced at him, and the adjutant immediately lowered his head, not daring to ask any more questions, and turned to do his job.

Moheng walked to the window and looked out at the mountains and forests.

He plans to take over the entire country of Myanmar.

The previous plan was to take it slow, one year, two years... there was no rush.

But now, he has to speed things up.

Because Luo Fei had already demonstrated his strength to the entire planet, and Mo Heng was following Luo Fei.

If a few screenshots of Luo Fei and himself at the camp are released, would those forces that are still watching and resisting still dare to oppose him?

The next morning, Luo Fei woke up in the sunlight.

The curtains weren't fully drawn, and light squeezed in through the gaps, falling directly on his face.

He squinted and rolled over, triggering the system in his mind.

[A divine choice has been triggered today.]

Options appear:

Option A: Receive 10,000 "Premium Insulated Mugs". Made of genuine food-grade material, with excellent heat retention. 500ml capacity, lightweight, and easy to carry.

Option B: Obtain 1000 portable folding chairs. Lightweight, high-strength aluminum alloy frame, capable of supporting 200 kg. Compact size when folded, easy to carry. Suitable for outdoor picnics, fishing, etc.

Luo Fei glanced at the options and chose A.

Thermos cups can be distributed as employee benefits.

We can distribute a few to each household in the village, and also give them to the company's employees as a benefit.

Luo Fei thought to himself, thermos cups aren't expensive these days, so giving one as a token of my affection is fine.

After all, it's convenient for middle-aged people to soak some goji berries.

He got up, washed up, and changed his clothes.

As soon as I entered the living room, I heard a knock on the door from the yard.

Luo Weidong opened the door, and Chu Yue came in.

She was dressed casually today, wearing a light blue shirt with dark trousers, and her hair was tied back, making her look neat and tidy.

Luo Fei came out of the house and stood on the steps.

When Chu Yue saw him, her expression immediately turned serious, and she saluted.

"Reporting to the commander, the Orchid Squad and the Hunter Blade Squad have been assigned to a newly established base near Willow Creek Village. It's less than two kilometers from the village, and we will be responsible for daily patrols and guard duties from now on."

Luo Fei paused for a moment, returned the greeting, and then said with a smile, "Alright, don't call me 'Commander,' just address me as before."

Elder Long had indeed mentioned that he would station troops near Liuxi Village, but he did not expect it to happen so quickly, and he certainly did not expect that it would be Chu Yue and the others who came.

Chu Yue continued, "Each war zone sent two special forces teams. At the time, the war zones argued fiercely at the meeting over the quotas, and no one was willing to give in. In the end, it was Elder Long who made the final decision: two teams from each war zone."

Luo Fei opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that he had nothing to say.

Two teams per war zone, totaling more than a dozen squads and several hundred people across all the war zones in the entire Dragon Kingdom, are deployed near Liuxi Village.

This size is almost comparable to a small military base.

He looked at Chu Yue and asked, "You came here just to tell me this?"

Chu Yue shook her head. "I've already taught the Hunter Blade Squad the second set of body-refining techniques. I'm here today to learn the third set from you."

Luo Fei glanced at her and nodded. "Okay. I'll start teaching you when I get back tonight. I have to attend my aunt's company's press conference during the day."

Chu Yue said, "I'll go with you."

Luo Fei smiled and didn't refuse. "Okay, let's go."

The two people got into the car.

Luo Fei drove, and Chu Yue sat in the passenger seat.

The car drove out of Liuxi Village and onto the highway leading to the county seat.

As they approached the county town, Luo Fei noticed that there were more vehicles on the road, and many of them were heading in the same direction.

He glanced at his phone's navigation; the press conference for his aunt's company was at the convention center in the new district of the county. He had been there once before and was quite familiar with the route.

But to his surprise, the parking lot at the entrance of the convention center was already full of cars, and the roadsides were also crowded with vehicles, some with local license plates, some with provincial license plates, and even a few cars from other provinces.

He searched for a long time before finally finding an empty space in an alley and parking his car there.

When Chu Yue got out of the car, she frowned slightly as she looked at the dense crowd of people and vehicles.

"Why are there so many people at a company press conference? Is there some kind of exhibition?"

Luo Fei also felt that something was wrong.
