All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 339 Company
Ji Ran stood outside the scenic area, marveling at the sights.

As a native of this mountain city, I was surprised to find that I didn't even know about this scenic spot, which is only two hours away from the city center.

【Yashan Botanical Garden】.

The scenic area appears to be a basin within a surrounding mountainous region. The driver spent at least half an hour driving along mountain roads to get there. Fortunately, the mountain roads were very smooth, and the forests on both sides were unusually lush and green.

As Ji Ran approached the entrance to the scenic area, she began to feel the temperature rise. The entrance was very simple, consisting of a security booth and a large metal door.

The security guard kept watching Ji Ran as she walked over.

As he approached, the security guard opened the window. The guard, dressed in a black uniform and burly, sized up Ji Ran and asked, "What do you do?"

"Scientific research, field study, or medical services?"

"Let's go for a stroll."

"Ok?"

The security guard paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "There are automatic ticket vending machines at the entrance; you can just buy a ticket and go in."

brush-

The window was then closed. But the security guard continued to watch Ji Ran.

He didn't seem like an ordinary person, but he also lacked any spiritual aura.

Ji Ran stared at him for a moment, then turned and walked towards the door.

[Ticket Price: 1888 yuan/2 hours]

The botanical garden employs open-air temperature control technology, features diverse plant areas, and is qualified to cultivate endangered species. It is open to the public every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

The price is really not cheap. Clearly, this park is not open to the general public.

Ji Ran walked in; there were very few people in the park. But the temperature throughout the park, especially on the main road, remained stable at around 25 degrees Celsius despite the sub-zero winter weather.

Each botanical garden is very spacious, entirely in a natural soil environment, nurturing a wide variety of plants. Each botanical area covers more than two kilometers. Moreover, the botanical garden is much larger than it appears from the outside, encompassing several mountains and valleys.

Ji Ran walked very fast. When no one was around, he would slightly unleash his strength and quickly cross the jungle.

In the vast park, he only saw two small teams that looked like university students, and two elderly scholars, who were probably there to conduct some kind of scientific research.

The pricing and time restrictions of this botanical garden were likely determined through targeted research.

Ji Ran glanced at the direction and headed towards the shopping mall.

At the same time, he used the cicada's song to input his thoughts into his earpiece—he needed information about the botanical garden. This was a special feature of the Special Operations Department's earpiece; it could interface with the cicada's song, allowing him to transmit his ideas and necessary information to logistics with a mere thought when it was inconvenient to speak, making it extremely convenient during mission execution.

A moment later, Ning Yan's voice came through the earpiece.

"The company will expand its bases in mountainous and coastal areas to some extent. In addition to operating the Traveler industry, they also invest heavily in genetic research in marine, plant, and biological fields. Their main clients are top-tier wealthy individuals."

"The company in Yashan District is a registered [Life-Content Ecological Base]. Some out-of-control life-contents are raised and studied. Currently, there are 5 life-contents. At the same time, plant gene research is also conducted to produce the nutritional drug [Green V3]."

Ji Ran understood; this place was a specific breeding base for life-sustaining organisms, and also a drug research and development center.

As the only one of the three major non-governmental organizations that operates independently in reality, the company is much larger than a typical top-tier company.

What about supermarkets and hypermarkets?

Ji Ran had already reached the outside of the shopping mall. The seven-story mall was very close to the nearby office area. There were many service staff, but not many customers.

"All the shops in the supermarkets here cater to company employees. Travelers can eat and drink as they please, and the company will pay for everything."

Ji Ran nodded slightly. A traveler's time in the myriad realms corresponds to a very short time in reality. Therefore, real life is still very important to a traveler. What the company is doing is providing traveler employees with sufficiently generous benefits.

After all, with spiritual power, acquiring worldly wealth is quite simple.

"Is raising them by hand in compliance with regulations?"

“Compliance.”

Ning Yan paused for a moment, then said, "Analyzing the abilities of destiny artifacts and deducing skills and spells through destiny artifacts is a very time-consuming and energy-intensive task. Our company has been deeply involved in this area and has in-depth cooperation with the Special Operations Department."

"At the same time, the company's output and influence on the secular world is limited to health products, and it is aimed at the wealthy, so it will not affect the normal market."

Ji Ran nodded and asked, "How's the manpower?"

"This botanical garden is a [Life-Specific Ecological Base], and a Level 5 cultivator is stationed there to oversee the branch. He is a Lingtai Daoist named Zhang Hanyu."

"At the same time, each life is guarded by a Level 4 Walker, leading three Level 1 Walkers. In addition, there are five Walkers who take turns guarding it when the others enter the Celestial Realm."

"These are the long-term residents; the rest are not permanent."

"it is good."

Ji Ran glanced at the shopping mall ahead, then turned and walked onto the neat mountain path.

This mountain is the largest in the area, and even a light snowfall overnight couldn't cover its lush greenery. Exquisite high-rise buildings, even more magnificent and imposing than those in the commercial district, stand tall amidst the verdant greenery, encircling the mountaintop.

Sunlight refracts through the glass of high-rise buildings, creating a bizarre blend of the future and the wilderness amidst the mountains.

……

The top floor of the building.

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows let the sunlight stream onto the mahogany desk. The 200-square-meter office has an entire wall of glass, and apart from a huge desk and a sofa by the window, there is nothing else.

A man wearing a loose gray hoodie is lying on a black ergonomic chair, scrolling through his phone. In a short video on the phone, a young man in overalls wearing a black helmet is riding a black motorcycle down the street.

Open the comments section:
[Tuanzi: Excuse me, is this motorcycle expensive? My monthly salary is close to 4000 yuan, and I want to buy one for my boyfriend. I see he has a lot of motorcycles in his favorites list, and he really likes them.]

[Eastern Flower: But you couldn't afford this motorcycle even if you saved every penny for a year. (doge emoji)]

[Tuanzi: Then I'll try a little harder.]

[Weiyang: The comments section doesn't seem very friendly. As a guy, I want to say that your sentiment is far more valuable than a motorcycle.]

[Tuanzi: Thank you, but I still blurted out such a foolish idea, making everyone laugh. He'll definitely feel embarrassed if he finds out. I'm clumsy with words and my ideas were too naive. I'm sorry, I'll delete it.]

……

“Interesting.” The man scrolling through the video smiled. He was Zhang Hanyu, the head of this branch company.

At this moment, he opened [Tuanzi's] homepage and took a look. The messy daily videos could make him happy all day long.

Exiting the homepage, Zhang Han casually spent 10 yuan on views for the video. He wasn't interested in the video itself, but rather in the girl's popular comments.

"Hey, Dongcheng, I have a promising talent here."

Deng!
Zhang Han stepped on the corner of the table, and the chair spun around, facing the sofa behind him.

On the sofa, a man with short black hair, wearing a black sweater, is teasing a pale lizard.

"Oh?"

Ren Dongcheng took out his phone and opened the share function. The first comment he saw was the first one.

"interesting."

"But this seedling is just for your taste, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Han smiled and said, "Not necessarily."

"Have the media companies below find an account that's level 70 or higher, the kind that gets boosted by good looks and borderline streamers."

"Add this girl on Douyin and send her the same motorcycle shown in the video."

Zhang Han put down his phone, looked at Ren Dongcheng on the sofa, and said, "Keep in touch, but don't be ambiguous. Just send him things from time to time."

"Spend traffic to mislead netizens into misunderstanding the girl."

Whether the ending is a tragedy or a comedy depends on her greed and how her relationship with her boyfriend turns out.

Zhang Hanyu suddenly smiled and said, "However, judging from what she said, her boyfriend would feel ashamed because of her love, and he would probably be angry because this gift exposes their poverty."

He stood up, walked to the window, and chuckled, "I reap the girl's sorrow, you reap the boy's anger, each gets what they need."

"However, you'd better hurry. If a kind-hearted man is moved and sends the motorcycle ahead of time, this matter might actually have a happy ending."

"it is good."

Ren Dongcheng raised his hand, and the lizard crawled onto his head. He then sent a message on his phone.

"But if this couple withstands the test..."

Ren Dongcheng looked up and said seriously, "No matter how strong the public opinion is, you can no longer interfere or exploit emotions."

"Ah."

A hint of disdain flashed in Zhang Han's eyes, but he nodded and said, "No problem."

He took out a bottle of wine from his storage space, opened it, and handed a glass to the short-haired man.

"Respect for new media."

"Well."

The two drank it all in one gulp.

Harvesting emotions to gain experience is not prohibited, but rather it is prohibited for practitioners to interfere with or guide others and intentionally gain emotions.

In the past, emotions could only be obtained by creating trouble, which inevitably involved others, and any investigation would expose the deception. Moreover, the emotions gained from an event could only be converted into very limited experience.

Doing it would be a losing proposition.

But now it's completely different.

In the new media era, netizens' emotions are too easily stirred up, and those surging emotions are seen as experience by some practitioners.

You don't need to do anything yourself, and there will be no spiritual traces.

Once you plant the "cause," the emotions you feel when something happens are the "effect" you can reap.

"By the way, the demons you released yesterday haven't returned yet?"

"No."

Ren Dongcheng sat up straight, frowned, and said, "Let's wait and see."

"Ah."

Jingle Bell--

The landline on the desk rang.

Zhang Han picked up the phone: "Hello?"

"Sir, a traveler has entered the trading hall; he's a member of the Special Operations Department."

"okay."

Zhang Han's eyes narrowed as he met the gaze of the short-haired man, but he calmly hung up the phone.

"I gonna go see."

"No matter what, immediately cut off all contact with that devil. Destroy all secret documents copied in the office immediately."

"it is good."

Zhang Han watched the man leave, then straightened his clothes in front of the glass.

He didn't care when people from the Special Operations Department came.

He was just a traveler.

He didn't believe that his subordinate Luan Ke had exposed him, and that ordering the destruction of the materials was purely out of caution.

Da da da.

Zhang Han turned around and walked towards the elevator inside the building.
