"Hi Lucas"

"Hello, Mr. Lucas"

"Good day, Mr. Lucas"

“Lucas—”

"Hello, this is my secretary, Laurel and Zhuo Yisi, please meet them."

Lucas introduced the two parties and casually hung his coat on the hanger.

"You two can relax and don't be too restrained. This is Emily, you all probably know her, my girlfriend. They are Emily's good friends. You can go sit with them and have lunch at my place at noon."

The two groups of girls were not much different in age and had common topics, such as some things in college or some rumors about Lucas, which were topics of interest to both sides. Emily and her friends, to be honest, usually had a hard time getting along with people of their own age, but probably for Lucas's sake, they were quite friendly to Laurel and Zoeys.

The house was as warm as spring. Emily and her friends were all dressed coolly, not in bikinis, but in short-sleeved T-shirts and skirts. However, it was not the case for Laurel and Zhuo Yisi. They were both wearing office warm clothes and thick black stockings. After a long time, they began to sweat. Emily exercised her power as the hostess and took them to the guest room to change their clothes.

There were snacks and drinks, and the group had a pretty good time in the living room.

Lucas went back to the house and changed into loose home clothes. He didn't see where the "嘤嘤怪" had hidden. It usually only saw him and Emily. When it really wanted to hide, Lucas couldn't find it, after all, it was elusive.

I went downstairs to the kitchen to prepare lunch, and saw the rice already cooked in the rice cooker on the kitchen counter. I couldn't help but smile.

However, there were quite a lot of people eating at noon, and one pot of rice might not be enough, so Lucas found an electric rice cooker in the cabinet under the kitchen counter and cooked another pot of rice.

Not long after he started, he saw Luo Ruier and Zhuo Yisi coming over.

"Boss, let us help." Luo Ruier's family relationships may be very harmonious, and her words and deeds are very Chinese. You won't see the fawning behavior of people from District 11. However, she will take the initiative to help in the kitchen, which is probably influenced by her mother to some extent.

Zoey did the same, nodding and smiling at Lucas, and washing her hands and putting on an apron with Laurel.

"You two can cook?" Lucas asked.

Among the people he knew closely, only Claire could help a little with cooking. From Merry to Emily and her friends, they all made more trouble the more they helped.

"When I was in college, I rented a house and did everything myself. Believe me, the tomato beef soup I cooked tasted great."

Luo Ruier said with a smile.

"I can cook some Chinese dishes..." Zhuo Yisi saw the ingredients Lucas prepared and said, "But my knife skills are not very good."

"Then you should go back to the living room and play with the girls. You don't have to accompany an old man like me. I told you not to be too restrained. This is not an office setting."

Lucas shrugged and started to process the ingredients with his knife, talking as he cut the vegetables:

"The lunch menu doesn't include tomato beef soup, so Luo Ruier can't help much. Besides, cooking is one of my few hobbies, you can't deprive me of that enjoyment."

"My other hobby is spending money... This doesn't seem like a serious hobby.

Good, especially for non-Africans.

He secretly complained in his heart.

"Uh... okay."

Just looking at Lucas's knife skills, the two young girls were instantly defeated. Compared with professional chefs... Well, maybe even professional chefs can't compare to Lucas.

……

When it was almost time for dinner, Claire also returned from the city. As a tea art master who was used to eating for free and the future mother-in-law, eating at Lucas's place was not a psychological burden for her at all.

Besides, it was a dinner party, and the more people there were, the more lively it was. Although Claire had a problem with speaking in a pretentious manner, she was easier to get along with than Emily and her friends, these new humans.

0028

There was no clear boundary between the round trip to the cenote, for both Lucas and Emily.

Just like walking from one room to another in the same house, when Lucas went to the factory in the morning, he had already begun to think about how to obtain information about the "Misty Realm" from the real world.

After lunch, everyone took a short break. Lucas's house was big enough, so it was easy to arrange a room for everyone.

After resting, everyone started eating, drinking and having fun again, singing karaoke, playing cards or mahjong... but Lucas did not join in.

At night, these ladies who had had so much fun chose to stay overnight. The two secretaries who had just started their jobs had to call home to report their safety, just like high school students. The same went for the five girls. Although Carolina's parents were having fun and basically didn't pay any attention to her, she had a very responsible housekeeper and she needed to call him.

Apart from the consumption of more snacks such as spicy strips and melon seeds, this family party did not have anything that shouldn't be there due to its privacy. Even though Lucas's family did not have a special wine cellar, the wine could be seen by opening the cupboards and refrigerator.

But when it was time to go to bed, perhaps encouraged by Carolina, Emily went to the kitchen to get a bottle of red wine and glasses, and secretly shared them with a few friends.

Carolina was more curious about what this unlabeled red wine tasted like. She was not picky about food, and had tried even more outrageous things. Hope might have tried beer when she was rebellious before. The rest of Emily, Maggie, and Naomi were all good kids, and it was their first time trying alcoholic beverages.

Hope, Maggie, and Naomi drank half a glass and soon became drunk and fell asleep.

Emily also drank half a glass, which made her dizzy. However, before she passed out, she did not choose to sleep with her best friend. Instead, she ran out of the room with a silly smile and went into Lucas' room.

If it were someone else, they would probably hold her back, but the only person awake in the room was the young Aquaman Carolina, who didn't care about such things, and Lucas was Emily's official boyfriend.

The next day, Lucas and Emily did their morning exercises as usual. The party at home lasted until the afternoon, and Emily's friends said goodbye and went home to prepare for Monday.

Laurel and Zoey took Claire's car into the city. On Monday, one of them reported to the factory as usual, and the other reported to Lucas.

However, the two of them drove back in the afternoon with some gifts. They were assigned rooms in the villa yesterday. The accommodation conditions here at Lucas are top-notch, and ordinary rich people or even top rich people may not be able to compare with them. It is normal for them to have such a reaction.

……

In November, Emily went to school for only a few days before asking for leave again to shoot a few music videos and commercials.

The filming location was near the city of Rosanki, so I could meet Lucas in the morning and evening, and the two of us never separated.

According to the plan, she will have some commercial performances next month, several of which will be held in Xinxiang City, and then the two will be separated for a while.

Fortunately, on Christmas, Emily's birthday, Lucas promised to fly to Xinxiang City to see her.

Lucas himself also attended some so-called upper-class banquets and parties to pave the way for his plan.

He himself has no interest in this kind of socializing and even finds it annoying. However, his two secretaries are very interested in these banquets and parties because Lucas usually takes them to attend. Regardless of whether they work in Lucas' company in the future or not, they can take the opportunity to meet many people and expand their personal network.

During this period, Merry came to Lucas's house several times, and the two had secret conversations in his workshop in the basement. The specific content of the conversation is unknown.

At least Laurel and Zoe didn't know that Emily was eligible to sit in on the class, but she was usually not at home because of her filming schedule.

Luo Ruier and Zhuo Yisi only knew that their boss wanted to hold a business event similar to an industrial exhibition and planned to invite many of the top conglomerates in the country of Hua to attend. The two were collecting information in this regard.

Everything is going step by step.

……

The world does not revolve around Lucas' personal will, and when he works towards his own goals, neither do other people in the world.

However, the results of this effort may not always be in line with expectations.

If it were put in a movie, it would be like some countries or some multinational giants creating a virus or some other disaster, but they are always the first to suffer.

I will not report the ID numbers of countries or organizations such as Umbrella, Amazon, ShenX company, and Santa X here. Those who understand will understand, and those who don’t understand will understand, no matter how much I say, it will be useless.

In Langley's underground laboratory, CIA experimenters have found a way to kill creatures near the skeleton to regenerate it.

The method of life.

Since entering this world, the activity of this skeleton has been declining. If left alone, after a period of time, its "mysterious properties" will be exhausted in this mysterious desert-like world, and it will eventually become a pile of real dead things.

If Lucas were present, he would definitely stop them from killing cattle, sheep and other creatures around it and letting it absorb the scattered souls, because that is its way to become stronger. This practice is no different from "This is a poisoned dagger, lick it."

The "talismans", "formations", "runes" or other things like black dog blood that imprison it with cultural characteristics of various countries are completely ineffective in restraining it.

If it weren't for the fact that the soul power it absorbed was almost entirely consumed in maintaining its own survival in the magic-free world, the CIA's approach would eventually breed a skeleton boss that would destroy themselves, or at least most of the creatures in Langley.

However, although this practice has hidden dangers, it is not the culprit that causes future accidents.

Let our camera follow the sinful triangular trade route, heading east from the Flower Country, across the vast European continent, all the way to a small town unmarked on the map somewhere on the Siberian Plateau.

This is a secret experimental facility belonging to the Soviet Union.

There is a large area around it without trees, and the terrain is a relatively flat plain. If it were regarded as a prison, it would be the most difficult prison to escape from in the world.

All supplies here are completely dependent on external imports. Leaving the town, hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest human settlement, the vast wasteland is home to packs of wolves, Siberian giant hamsters (brown bears), and Siberian tigers.

There is no obvious road leading to this place, and in any season other than winter, if you want to enter here by ground from any direction, in addition to the above-mentioned wild animals, you must also pass through a swamp with overgrown weeds and abundant mosquitoes.

The Soviet people have always had big and bizarre imaginations. For example, they once conducted an experiment in which they surgically connected the heads of two dogs to create a two-headed dog, and the dog successfully survived for a period of time. They also once detonated a hydrogen bomb to extinguish an oil field fire, which was also successful.

Therefore, if you hear that they plan to test a hydrogen bomb in the small space behind the "Misty Realm", it doesn't seem to be something worth making a fuss about.

It has been discovered that the small space in the "Misty Realm" is not located above the earth, and conducting nuclear tests there does not violate any international conventions - if any.

While testing weapon performance, we can also obtain data on the "nuclear explosion reaction" of a small space. Isn't it great to kill two birds with one stone... ?

But they had many unexpected things. For example, are the space entrances connecting the entire earth to the "Misty Realm" very close to each other in space or at any distance? Will the high-temperature and high-heat radiation source have any impact on the spatial stability of the "Misty Realm"? Could the "natural phenomenon" that has existed on the earth for hundreds of years be just because ancient people did not have atomic bombs? And they wanted to detonate it in the "Misty Realm"?

Anyway, that's what they planned and that's what they did.

……

It wasn't even December yet, and Lucas was still perfecting the details of the plan in his mind.

For example, like a technological patent, the relevant technology of the "teleportation array" can be released to major countries in the world and major tycoons in the Flower Kingdom through the opportunity of the expo.

Establish something like an alliance of interests, bind major countries and chaebols together, and help them establish stable observation points or even colonies in the "Misty Realm" to achieve a certain degree of intelligence sharing.

He doesn't ask for anything else, just wants the alliance to pay him some patent fees every year. He doesn't even have to participate in the management of the decision-making level. As long as intelligence is shared, he feels that his needs have been met.

……

After successfully completing the shooting of a MV, Emily took a few days off.

It’s called a holiday, but in fact it just means returning to normal campus life.

The eleventh grade was originally the busiest year for high school students in Huaguo, which was equivalent to the second year of high school in China. All major courses needed to be completed in this year to lay the foundation for the future, either going to college or entering society.

However, as a top student, Emily has actually passed the entrance examination for university with high scores. Even without letters of recommendation from relatives and friends, she can get an admission letter from a top university.

She is still in high school, simply enjoying the life that a girl of her age should have.

It was a very ordinary weekend. After a lingerie party at Maggie's estate last week, Emily and her friends met up at Emily's house again, but everyone, including Emily and Claire, preferred the comfort of Lucas's place, so the party was actually held at Lucas' villa.

There are also Laurel and Zhuo Yisi, both of whom moved out of their homes and became 24-hour personal assistants.

This week, Laurel was supposed to be on duty at the factory, but because Lucas wanted to make a certain dish, he ordered Zoeys around and bought a lot of expensive ingredients from a store in Chinatown on Green Water Street.

Luo Ruier was also called back, and the two took turns purchasing and helping Lucas to process the various ingredients. Afterwards, they cooked for three days and three nights. Finally, on Friday night, they finished this delicacy that is said to be so delicious that even Buddha would jump over the wall when he smelled the fragrance.

The dish is extremely sweet and delicious. Because it contains at least 20 different ingredients, the taste of the dish is also extremely rich and varied. But there is no doubt that it is delicious! Absolutely delicious!

As the family... everyone was enjoying a night of delicious food, no one noticed that a light mist began to spread outside the window.

The entire Crown Eagle Mountain is shrouded in fog, and the source of the fog is the misty forest, Koved Forest.

……

In the middle of the night, the whole villa was awakened by a shrill alarm.

"What happened?"

Emily, who was sleeping on Lucas' chest, rubbed her eyes and woke up, then asked subconsciously in a heavily nasal tone.

Lucas answered her with, "I don't know yet, let me see."

The "crying monster" that was acting as a pillow on her chest used her plump chest for support and nimbly crawled out.

It has now returned to its old appearance. Its hair has grown back, and it has once again become a cute furry creature with big ears. Its eyes are bright, and it doesn't look at all like it had before.

The lights in the room came on, and Lucas took out a cell phone from somewhere, leaned against the head of the bed and operated it, and the alarm soon stopped.

Emily hugged Lucas' waist, forced her eyes open and yawned as she moved closer. On the phone screen was an interface she couldn't understand. There were two long strips with different colors, one showing 95% and the other showing 10%. In the blink of an eye, one of the color blocks turned into 11%, and the length of one of the colors also increased by one grid.

"what is this?"

"The battery level at home shows...something's wrong. Let's go down. I think everyone else is awake. Let's go down and talk together."

"Oh"

Both of them were wearing pajamas and did not need to add clothes. They pushed the door and went downstairs to the living room. The "嘤嘤怪" followed them down.

As expected, everyone else was woken up and gathered in the living room, asking each other about the situation in low voices.

Except for Claire who was wearing a silk nightgown, everyone was wearing pajamas. Naomi and Maggie were still a little childish and brought their stuffed toys that they were used to hug.

Seeing Lucas and Emily appear, Claire asked first:

"What happened, Lucas? Why are there alarms? Is the house being invaded?"

"It's more serious than that. Everyone, be quiet and let me take a look outside."
