Courtyard House: A System Connecting Two Worlds, Resources for the Nation

Zhou Feng spent an entire morning explaining the whole teleportation portal issue to Bai Ling before she finally accepted it.

"So... you always use this ability to bring the supplies we've prepared back to the future?"

Bai Ling sat on the edge of the bed, holding the enamel mug that Zhou Feng had poured for her, her legs swinging back and forth.

"That's right, you can do it now. However, you can only send the things around the portal that I've secured to the portal through; you can't go through it yourself."

Zhou Feng sat on the chair with his legs crossed and gestured with his hand.

This made Bai Ling look at him, blink her eyes, and have a look of excitement on her face.

Although she knew Zhou Feng had the ability to travel through time and space, she had only ever seen him disappear. Now that she herself had this unimaginable ability, how could she not be excited?

"Come on, even if I explain all this to you, you might not understand. Let's just go over and demonstrate it."

Patting Bai Ling on the shoulder, Zhou Feng led her out of the courtyard and into Tie Jianguo's car, heading towards the warehouse where they had previously agreed to make the deal.

After showing their identification, the three of them entered the enormous makeshift warehouse side by side. The guards at the entrance only verified the documents, not the people. After this, the documents would be handed over to Bai Ling, who would then be in full charge of them.

Upon opening the warehouse door, Bai Ling was immediately startled by the mountain of ore piled up inside.

She knew that the organization and future transactions used mined ore, but the number of tons listed in the documents was just a number to her, far less impressive than having these ore piled up in front of her.

"These... these things can be teleported away?"

Bai Ling looked up at the mountain of ore in front of her, and then cast a doubtful glance at Zhou Feng, who nodded seriously at her.

As Bai Ling closed her eyes, she focused intently on sending all these things away. In just a moment, she felt a tremor beneath her feet.

All the ore in the warehouse seemed to be held up by an invisible hand, floating neatly in the air for a moment before disappearing without a trace, leaving not even a speck of dust in the entire warehouse.

When she opened her eyes again and looked at the empty warehouse, her legs went weak and she almost sat down on the ground.

Zhou Feng nodded in satisfaction, already sensing in his mind that the batch of ore had been transferred to his anchor warehouse in this world.

"Take a good look at it. The teleportation radius is about 1 kilometer. You can teleport to all non-living things within that range."

Bai Ling's lips trembled for a few seconds before she suddenly blurted out, "Brother Zhou Feng, is this some kind of divine intervention?"

She was definitely a materialist, but this situation was too bizarre to be explained by science, which she couldn't comprehend.

"What's with all this talk about gods and immortals? This is the ability I've given you. Just report it to Director Sun and the others in the same way."

Zhou Feng rubbed Bai Ling's head, then leaned close to her ear and said, "With this ability, the organization here will likely give you more power and convenience. You can help take care of Xiao'e and her father then."

After all, the current state of the Siheyuan world is somewhat turbulent. Even with Minister He mediating, he still has some concerns if the Lou family's background is not properly managed.

Now, with Bai Ling's support, anyone who wants to harm the Lou family will have to think twice.

Seeing Bai Ling's still somewhat uneasy expression, Zhou Feng smiled and tightened his arm around her: "Don't worry, everything's fine. From now on, you'll be my chief logistics officer; everything our family has in this era will be in your hands!"

Bai Ling stared at him blankly for a long time before finally smiling, then looked away as if nothing had happened.

As her gaze swept over the empty warehouse in front of her once more, she sensed a subtle shift in her own mindset.

Zhou Feng didn't linger in the courtyard. After confirming that Bai Ling was familiar with the teleportation function, he took Tie Jianguo and brought Bai Ling back to the courtyard. With another thought, he activated the double-penetration door.

Back in their own world, carrying the mining equipment prepared for the Dream Record world, the two found themselves in the Changdeng Copper Mountain on the Eastern Island in the blink of an eye.

Unlike the other two worlds, as soon as Zhou Feng stepped out of the double portal, he smelled the salty sea breeze unique to the island of Japan.

In addition, the harsh environment surrounding Tongshan made him involuntarily frown.

However, the mining area has changed quite a bit since the last time he left.

In the desolate mountains and wilderness, most of the hilltop has been leveled, and rough wooden supports have been erected at the entrance to the mine tunnel. Not far away, there are rows of simple wooden houses, standing side by side, and the clanging sound of chisels can be heard from near and far.

Suddenly, a sound of metal hitting a rock came from behind Zhou Feng.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw several local Japanese pirates dressed in coarse linen short coats standing dumbfounded a dozen steps away, their pickaxes falling to the ground without them even realizing it.

These people's gazes had already passed over Zhou Feng and Tie Jianguo, and were staring straight at the several metal behemoths that had appeared out of nowhere behind the two of them!

The tracked mining machines, hydraulic breakers, and mine transport vehicles gleamed with a cold, metallic gray luster under the sunlight, filling the faces of these uneducated locals with fear.

You know, the power of those tanks had already made them kneel down and shout for Amaterasu Omikami. Now these steel behemoths are no smaller than tanks. Could it be that the gods are going to punish them?

With a "thump," the Japanese pirate who was leading the group collapsed to his knees.

Then came the second, the third, and more than a dozen people who fell to the ground one after another, their foreheads pressed against the gravel, muttering incomprehensible words to Zhou Feng.

"The immortal has returned!"

One of the Japanese pirates shouted something, and although his accent was a bit strange and stiff, Zhou Feng could at least understand what he meant.

The guy scrambled forward a couple of steps before crashing headfirst into the ground, blood trickling from his forehead.

Zhou Feng's lips twitched involuntarily. When he left last time, he disappeared into thin air with Tie Jianguo right in front of these people. It seems that the effect was quite good.

He cleared his throat, neither denying it nor denying it, and gestured with his chin towards the Japanese pirates on the ground: "Go back to what you were doing. Where's Chen Xiao?"

The Japanese pirate who could speak the language of China looked up, his face full of flattery, and frantically gestured towards the direction of the mountainside.

Before Zhou Feng could even set off, a group of figures had already run out of the wooden house halfway up the mountain, with Chen Xiao leading the way.
