Building a sect from scratch.

The excited young man, who was talking animatedly, was tugged at by his friend sitting next to him, who was trying to get him to tone it down, but it was no use.

The man, looking disgusted, pulled back his sleeve, still spitting as he spoke: "Why are you pulling me! I'm telling the truth! For example, that anti-gravity technology, I think it's very possible to develop it! That's revolutionary! And..."

After he finished speaking excitedly, the BOSS of the Chinese nation smiled and comforted him, "Hehe, what this little rabbit said makes a lot of sense. Moreover, cooperation is mutually beneficial. Whether from an emotional or economic perspective, it is impossible for us to give up our cooperation with your sect. Please believe us on this point, Sect Master Fang."

Then he asked, "We are truly honored by Sect Master Fang's candor. In addition, we have a small question: what exactly is the connection between the Guixu Realm and the Blue Star Flower Family?"

Fang Xianyu shook her head apologetically: "I'm sorry, I can't say."

Of course, it's not that she couldn't tell, but that she had no idea at all!

However, such an answer, which is not conducive to shaping a great image, certainly cannot be spoken, so being a riddle solver is the best choice.

"Oh, then we don't have any particular questions. How about we discuss the details?"

Fang Xianyu thought for a moment and asked, "Is it about talent assistance?"

“That’s right, three thousand is indeed a bit high. It’s difficult for us to provide that many. However, if Sect Master Fang can allow our personnel to act independently, this number is still achievable!”

“It’s impossible for everyone to act independently,” Fang Xianyu rejected outright, then added, “What I lack most right now is educational talent. The main reason why the literacy campaign has been stalled is the lack of teachers. However, I can add a thousand more slots, but of course, they will be awarded in batches.”

“If we have a thousand free places, we can consider two thousand talent assistance places… Three thousand is indeed too high.”

Fang Xianyu was prepared for a dispute, and said firmly, "I will pay their salary subsidies, three thousand!"

At the conference table, everyone was discussing animatedly, but the Chinese boss remained silent for a long time.

After a long pause, he said, "How about we discuss this further and suspend the meeting for an hour?"

Fang Xianyu readily agreed: "No problem."

Then, she proactively cut off the video feed from the "interdimensional network".

Meanwhile, in the conference room on the other side, two people who were prepared suddenly opened the toolboxes at hand and quickly turned on a signal jammer and a jammer.

Only after all this was done did everyone begin to discuss.

Aunt Wang was the first to speak, concluding: "Alpha is closer to China than we imagined, which is a good thing!" "We can give them the 3,000 spots, but we must fight for more rights, especially regarding exploration in the Guixu Realm, such as opening up the entire map..."

"We can also find out when the open beta will be available later, so we won't have to discuss the number of slots!"

"It's probably difficult. According to our analysis, connecting the two worlds will inevitably come at a price, and this price is likely related to the extent of our assistance to the Guixu Realm."

"Well, I think we can be a bit bolder. We've already explored cultivation of immortality, so what about silicon-based life? What about aliens? Parallel universes? The Hand of God?"

"Impossible! Silicon cannot form a carbon chain framework and cannot meet the structural and functional requirements of life..."

"You can't think about things with an overly scientific mindset! What I mean is, if α was originally a member of the Chinese people on Earth, and the Guixu Realm is a parallel world, then α is equivalent to 'time travel'—not time travel in history, but travel between different worlds! So, if time travel is possible, is it possible for something more exaggerated, more magical, more unbelievable, or even more fictional? Like... a main god? A system?"

"Professor Wang, have you been staying up late reading novels lately?"

"Hey, don't interrupt. What I mean is, if Alpha is just incredibly powerful and truly as invincible as she claims, why doesn't she use her strength to conquer the entire world and then trick us into managing it for her, like playing a construction game? But she didn't! That clearly means either her actual strength is far from what she claims, or there are other factors that are restraining her actions!"

"I agree. If she really wants to change the form of civilization in the Guixu Realm, she should open up enough slots for us directly, instead of squeezing them out like toothpaste—dozens or hundreds at a time!"

"Hmm... a sign-in unlock system? A gacha system? I'm a bit confused. It feels like Earth itself is a fake!"

“Professor Wang, I think you’re the one who’s getting stuck on a rut. We need to look at everything we’ve encountered so far in a rational way, such as everything in the Guixu Realm. They can all exist objectively, whether it’s the existence of spiritual energy, the existence of immortal cultivation, or the technology of ‘time travel’. They are not idealistic. I would rather call them some technologies or objective things that we don’t yet understand. But the things you’re talking about, such as systems, sign-in, and card draws, are too subjective. Forgive me for being frank, but I find it hard to convince myself of their existence.”

"Simply put, there's something restricting Alpha's behavior. For example, her strength has been damaged and she needs to constantly recover in order to have more energy to connect the two worlds, which is why she's releasing slots one after another!"

"That makes sense, but is everything Alpha says necessarily true?"

"Although I really want to say that, from my personal emotional point of view, I believe her, politics cannot be based on personal feelings," the Chinese boss, who had been silent until now, suddenly interjected, "So, everyone should analyze this as soon as possible; we don't have much time left!"

"A citizen of China with lofty ideals."

An aged voice rang out from the corner. It belonged to a rather elderly man, a man who worked in cultural preservation. Strictly speaking, this wasn't as important as the work of professionals in industry or cutting-edge technology, and he had long since retired. However, due to various considerations, the government had rehired him for this project, and he had only just arrived in the capital today.

The old man was also an idealist, so he was deeply moved earlier. Unlike many of the people in the meeting room who were more performative, he genuinely believed: "She must be our rabbit, with lofty ideals and great ambitions!"

The aged voice echoed clearly in the conference room: "I cannot imagine that a soul that has wandered in a foreign land for hundreds of years, when faced with the temptation to return home, would resolutely give it up and choose to dedicate his life to a great cause... What a noble soul that is!" (End of Chapter)
