People came down from upstairs one after another.

Caiwei also came out of the bathroom, her head down, with a blush still lingering on her ears.

The group sat down in the restaurant. Xiao Xiao seemed to notice something and glanced back and forth between Cai Wei and Lin Chu twice.

Caiwei lowered her head and pretended that nothing had happened.

Lin Chu calmly served Xiao Xiao a bowl of rice, her movements fluid and graceful.

Xiao Xiao narrowed her eyes suspiciously, but didn't say anything.

Cang Yao glanced at the dishes on the table.

"My husband has worked hard."

Lin Chu smiled and said, "It's nothing."

Ruoshui had already picked up a piece of scrambled egg with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. After chewing a few times, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

"It's delicious! But I'll make it next time; I'm learning how."

The group ate and chatted.

Lin Chu suddenly felt the Humanity Flame Technique within his body automatically activating.

Unlike the fortune of the Xuan Tian Realm, the fortune of Blue Star seems to be more condensed, with each strand being several times more substantial than the fortune of the Xuan Tian Realm.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Chu put down her bowl, picked up her phone, and browsed through it.

Sure enough, Lu Chenghong sent a message.

"Minister Lin, the promotional video has been released on all major official platforms, and the response has been great. Take a look."

A link is provided below.

Lin Chu clicked on the video.

The women gathered around.

"The cut is pretty good."

"My husband looks most handsome when he draws his bow."

"The spiritual energy effects were captured quite clearly."

Caiwei didn't speak, but the curve of her lips clearly showed satisfaction.

Lin Chu understood. No wonder the fortune within his body was slowly increasing. Although the speed was far from that of the peak period of the Xuan Tian Realm, it was continuous and each strand was more condensed than the fortune of the Xuan Tian Realm.

Their influence is gradually expanding, and the efficiency of communication on Blue Star is much higher than that of the Xuan Tian Realm.

And this is just the beginning; cooperating with the government has definitely been the right path.

He felt his cultivation level slowly increasing.

It seems I'm really going to become famous now.

After dinner, Lin Chu leaned back on the living room sofa, closed her eyes and pondered, thinking about how to proceed next.

Ruoshui sidled up from the side and patted her leg: "Lie down on me."

Lin Chu didn't stand on ceremony and put her leg on Ruoshui's leg.

Ruoshui's fingers pressed on his calf with just the right amount of pressure, and her technique was quite professional.

Cang Yao walked over from behind the sofa, placed her hands on his shoulders and gently massaged them. Her fingertips carried a trace of warm spiritual energy that penetrated into the muscles of his shoulders and neck, making Lin Chu squint his eyes in comfort.

Xiao Xiao carried a plate of crystal-clear grapes and sat down quietly next to Lin Chu.

Lin Chu glanced at her sideways, then lazily opened her mouth.

Xiao Xiao picked one and put it into Lin Chu's mouth.

Lin Chu chewed it; it tasted sweet.

She picked another one and handed it to Lin Chu, who opened her mouth to take it.

Caiwei sat on the other side of the single sofa, holding a book in her hands, but her gaze would occasionally drift from the top of the pages, a faint smile on her lips.

When Xiao Xiao fed him the fifth one, she finally couldn't hold back anymore: "Brother Lin Chu, don't you have hands?"

"There's no room for it." Lin Chu said without changing her expression.

Seeing Lin Chu enjoying herself, Xiao Xiao stuffed a grape into her mouth and hummed.

But they didn't hold out for long before feeding the next one.

Just as I was enjoying myself, my phone rang.

He picked it up and saw four words pop up on the screen: Uncle Village Chief.

"Feed? Uncle?"

"Young Lin!" The village chief's booming voice rang out from the receiver.

"Was that you in that video?! What Minister of Foreign Affairs, and that guy shooting arrows with golden light, that was you, wasn't it?!"

Lin Chu chuckled, "It's me, Uncle. How did you know?"

"How did I know?" the village chief's voice rose even higher. "A few young men from the village rushed in with their phones saying you were on the evening news, and when I looked, it was you!"

Lin Chu smiled and recited her prepared remarks.

"It's only been a recent thing. I inexplicably awakened some talent, the kind of talent for cultivation. You know how the world has changed now."

"Later, people from the government came to my door, we talked a few times, and they thought I was capable enough, so they recruited me."

There was silence for a few seconds on the other end of the phone.

"Take him in? You make it sound so easy! That's a minister! You've risen to the top overnight!"

"Just lucky, Uncle."

"Good, good, good!" The village chief's voice boomed, filled with satisfaction. "I knew you were a promising kid! I've known you'd amount to something since you were little!"

The two chatted for a while longer.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Chu looked at the screen with a smile on her lips.

Before I could even catch my breath, WeChat message notifications started ringing out in rapid succession.

University roommate group.

"Holy crap! Lin Chu! You're the head of the International Exchange Department, aren't you?!"

Give it a pat.

"Stop playing dead!"

"Damn! Bro, you really went to become an immortal?"

Lin Chu typed: "I was lucky, I awakened my talent, and was recruited by the government."

There was silence in the group for about ten seconds.

Then the message screen was flooded with messages.

"Awakened your talent? So that means the person in the video is really you? Did you cultivate immortality? Or are you a superhuman? And you actually became a minister?!"

"When you resigned, you said you were going to Mount Tai for a relaxing trip! How did you end up as a department head?!"

"If I become rich and powerful, let us not forget each other."

"Godfather!"

"I'm not saying anything more. If I ever awaken in the future, could you recommend me to that Exchange Department?"

"OK."

"Screenshots! Screenshots! Minister Lin personally promised this, everyone can witness!"

Besides his roommates' group, people in his former colleagues' group, high school classmates' group, and even elementary school group forwarded the video and tagged him to confirm if it was him.

Lin Chu replied to each one, with similar wording: she was lucky, her talent was awakened, and she was recruited.

He kept a low profile, but the more humble he was, the more envious everyone became, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

My former colleague, Xiao Zhou, sent me seven or eight messages in a row.

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, bro, no wonder you were so arrogant before. I thought you were going back to inherit the family fortune, but it turns out you're even more outrageous than I thought."

Lin Chu replied, "Work hard, we can work together in the future." Xiao Zhou was so excited that he sent several firecracker emojis.

In addition, a former company executive somehow got his WeChat account and sent him a long, polite message, his tone as respectful as if he were reporting to a superior.

Lin Chu did not reply.

However, a bank transfer notification popped up on my phone.

When Lin Chu opened the message, she saw that her balance had increased by nearly 30,000 yuan, with a note that read "severance pay".

"They're pretty savvy."

Although I don't need the 30,000 yuan right now, I still feel a strange sense of satisfaction.
