Simultaneous travel: City, infinite evolution

Chapter 157 Ren Tingting, a Person from All Realms...

Soon, it sailed across Kyushu and across the ocean, arriving at a beautiful place on the other side of the ocean.

This place is currently experiencing a period of abundant harvests.

Chen Hong casually acquired several granaries, containing an unknown amount of tens of thousands of tons of grain.

They couldn't resist exploiting this fertile land, seizing countless tons of steel, various metals, and gold.

We should rob the rich to help the poor, so that one day, when this place becomes powerful, it will again rob the poor and help the rich around the world.

A bountiful harvest all the way.

Chen Hongteng returned on a cloud.

Soon, they settled the refugees with Uncle Jiu.

With this batch of grain, the town can be rebuilt very soon.

The townspeople built a temple for Chen Hong and worshipped him.

It is an expression of gratitude, a prayer for blessings, and a means of deterrence.

We are grateful to Chen Hong for helping them rebuild their homes and saving them from the suffering of displacement and starvation. We pray that this immortal Chen Hong will bless them with favorable weather, abundant harvests, and prosperous businesses.

Furthermore, by using Chen Hong's name, they deterred warlords and other unscrupulous individuals, thereby reducing their exploitation.

Chen Hong tacitly approved of their actions.

But Chen Hong could sense that in the darkness, the power of incense and prayers was gathering.

Fortunately, Chen Hong has now been ordained and registered in the Heavenly Court. The incense and vows are gathered on the Five Thunder Scripture of the Three Caverns of Shangqing, so it has no impact on Chen Hong himself.

On the contrary, they can use the power of incense offerings and prayers to exercise divine authority.

More importantly, Chen Hong could sense that his merits had increased in the unseen realm.

This world even has a merit system.

The wonderful uses of merit are self-evident; it's a panacea, and the more the better.

Chen Hong gathered all the merits he had accumulated.

There were approximately nine strands of merit-based energy.

Legend has it that the merits accumulated on Mount Ling are condensed into oil called "ghee," a rare commodity that even Buddha himself considered precious and tempting. It has endless uses and is extremely luxurious.

Soon, Chen Hong and Uncle Jiu returned to Renjia Town.

Just then, Uncle Nine received an invitation from Master Ren, the richest man in town.

"Grandmaster Uncle, this Master Ren has invited me to have some Western tea. Would you like to come along?"

Seeing Uncle Nine's anxious expression, Chen Hong knew that Uncle Nine had never drunk foreign tea before and was afraid of making a fool of himself, so he wanted to drag him along.

Chen Hong smiled and said, "Of course."

Uncle Nine immediately smiled.

"but……"

Uncle Nine became uneasy again.

Unexpectedly, Chen Hong said, "Don't call me Grandmaster Uncle in front of outsiders, it'll be troublesome to explain, and it'll sound like I'm some kind of old monster."

"You can just call me by my name. I'm just a distant relative of yours, so I'll just call you Uncle Jiu like everyone else."

"How can this be?" Uncle Nine frowned. "There is an order of seniority and hierarchy. How can we mess up the seniority?"

"It's not a mess, it's not a mess. You can call me that in front of others, don't worry about these rules."

"Okay, it's decided."

Uncle Nine had no choice but to obey Chen Hong's words.

"Ancestor, what should I call you?" Wen Cai, who was quite ugly, asked in a silly and simple way.

“You…” Chen Hong glanced at Wen Cai, “Just call me Brother Chen.”

"Okay, Brother Chen." Wen Cai nodded repeatedly.

Soon, the three arrived at the coffee shop.

"Gentlemen, have you made a reservation?"

The service manager stepped forward to inquire.

Uncle Nine blurted out, "No."

The service manager immediately smiled politely.

Chen Hong said casually, "It was ordered by Ren Fa."

Seeing that Chen Hong was well-dressed and had an extraordinary demeanor, the manager dared not neglect him and quickly reached out his hand.

"Please follow me, esteemed sir."

Uncle Nine followed Chen Hong upstairs and came to a table.

Master Ren warmly stepped forward to greet him: "Hello, Uncle Jiu, please sit down, please."

The four of them sat down.

Master Ren glanced at Chen Hong and was immediately amazed.

"That appearance, that demeanor..."

"Why does he look so much like that deity from a few days ago?"

Mr. Ren immediately took it to heart.

"Uncle Jiu, who is this...?"

"Oh, let me introduce you to Mr. Ren."

Uncle Jiu pointed at Chen Hong and said, "This is my distant nephew, Chen Hong. He just returned from studying abroad and is staying with me for a while."

Ren Fa was immediately struck by a thought. In this era, those who had returned from overseas studies were the most elite intellectuals.

They are all accomplished individuals with promising futures.

None of them could compare to him, a small landlord or merchant.

Ren Fa immediately broke into a bright smile and cheered repeatedly.

"Excellent! Excellent! Young and promising, truly young and promising."

Chen Hong readily agreed. If he wasn't considered young and promising, then there wasn't a single young and promising person in all of human civilization combined.

Not to mention his mastery of every recorded language in the world, his knowledge level alone, far ahead of his time, was enough to overwhelm the entire globe.

"I heard your daughter came back from the provincial capital. Why didn't she come with you?"

Uncle Nine quickly changed the subject.

Ren Fa's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately began to show off with a big smile.

"This girl just finished studying in the provincial capital and learned makeup. Now she's teaching others everywhere she goes."

"Look, my girl is here."

Following Master Ren's gaze, everyone saw a stunningly beautiful and fashionable woman walking gracefully towards them.

She wore a pink dress, the hem of which resembled a blooming peony.

She was wearing a pink silk hat, had her hair in pigtails, and was wearing high heels.

She wore a necklace that dangled into the abyss.

In this era, the low-cut, revealing neckline and exposed breasts are very open and revealing.

It looks as soft as a marshmallow and as smooth as a pearl. It has exquisite features and a stunning appearance.

Then, the beautiful Western woman, Ren Tingting, walked gracefully over with a smile on her face and sweetly called out, "Daddy."

"Hmm." Ren Fa nodded, pulling the pipe out of his mouth. "Quickly call him Uncle Nine."

"Ninth Uncle."

"Hey, sit down, sit down."

"Oh my, you've all grown up so much, time really flies," Uncle Nine remarked.

Wen Cai, with a lecherous look on his face, stared intently at Ren Tingting's large breasts and couldn't help but say, "They really are big."

Ren Tingting covered her front, glared angrily at Wen Cai, and looked disgusted.

Chen Hong glared at him, making Wen Cai shrink back in fear.

Then, in a gentlemanly manner, he moved a chair for Ren Tingting.

The Western beauty immediately felt a sense of goodwill towards Chen Hong, nodded gracefully, and sat down next to him.

Chen Hong smiled and nodded at the stylish young lady.

It has to be said that Ren Tingting has a great figure and a beautiful face. She has a delicate and refined air about her, and a good personality.

No wonder she's called the "Wife of All Realms," second only to that old geezer Uncle Nine in popularity.

However, Chen Hong was not like Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng, who immediately acted like lecherous men and uttered rude remarks upon meeting.

On the contrary, Chen Hong's reaction was calm and polite.

He was, after all, a man who had seen the world, even if it was other Chen Hong's memories.

But he's seen far too many beautiful women; there's no way he'd ever make such a low-level fool of himself.

Therefore, Ren Tingting had a very good first impression of Chen Hong.

After all, Chen Hong was just too handsome, more handsome than any of the young men she had seen in the provincial capital.

The key is that temperament, which has the scholarly air of a knowledgeable person, the domineering aura of an emperor, the absolute confidence of a supreme powerhouse, and the empathy of a compassionate and loving person.

They're way better than those rich kids from the provincial capital.

Seeing this, Ren Tingting's heart began to race, and she instinctively lowered her head to hide her unusual reaction.

"What would you like to order?"

The waiter came over to greet us.

Chen Hong said calmly, "A cup of coffee, please."

"A cup of coffee, please."

Ren Tingting deliberately displayed her sophisticated style, implying that she had seen the world.

Uncle Nine quickly followed Chen Hong's lead and said, "I'll have a cup of coffee too."

Wencai stared blankly at Uncle Nine, "Master, can I have coffee instead of coffee?"

puff!

Ren Tingting covered her mouth, almost bursting out laughing.

Chen Hong glanced at him speechlessly and said in a low voice, "coffee is coffee, you idiot."

Ren Tingting's eyes lit up, and she secretly glanced at Chen Hong, thinking to herself, "He seems different from the country bumpkin next to him; he's definitely seen the world."

Against the backdrop of Wen Cai, even the most ordinary detail can highlight the magnificence of Chen Hong, the flower in bloom.

Indeed, without comparison, there is no harm.

If we extend this to other high-level fields, the essence is the same.

Ren Fa watched his daughter interact with Chen Hong and suddenly had some thoughts in his mind.

However, he had important business to attend to today, so he suppressed these thoughts and turned to Uncle Nine, saying:

"Ninth Uncle, regarding the matter of my late father's coffin being moved and his remains being reburied, I wonder if you have chosen an auspicious day yet?"

"I think you should think it over first. In this kind of situation, it's better to stay put than to act rashly," Uncle Nine quickly advised.

Ren Fa, however, remained stubborn, saying, "I have thought it through. The feng shui master said that we must exhume and relocate the coffin in twenty years, as that would be good for us."

“Ninth Uncle, since Master Ren insists, there must be a reason for it. Just go along with his wishes.”

Uncle Nine glanced at Chen Hong with surprise, a thought flashing through his mind.

"In that case, we will break ground and exhume the coffin three days from now at Shenshi (3-5 PM)."

"What should we prepare?" Master Ren asked happily.

"Get the money ready." Wen Cai's mouth came out quickly, like a gourd.

Uncle Nine looked at Wen Cai with annoyance, "So how many do you want?"

"Twenty..." Wen Cai looked at Uncle Jiu's unfriendly gaze and awkwardly shut his mouth.

"Haha." Old Master Ren chuckled twice to ease the awkwardness. "Money is not a problem, not a problem."

"Mr. Ren, Mr. Huang is here." The service manager stepped forward to signal.

Mr. Ren nodded. "I need to go over there and say hello. Please make yourselves at home."

The waiter served coffee.

"Master, which cup should we drink first, the black one or the white one?"

Wencai whispered to Uncle Jiu.

"Look at how others drink it," Uncle Nine replied helplessly in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Ren Tingting's eyes darted around, and a brilliant idea struck her.

I first took a sip of pure coffee, then a sip of milk, and finally a spoonful of sugar.

Just then, Master Ren returned.

"Uncle Jiu, I'm sorry."

Mr. Ren pointed at Wencai and said, "This coffee should be drunk while it's hot, please help yourself."

Wen Cai, that idiot, immediately picked up his coffee, took a sip, then a sip of milk, and finally put a spoonful of sugar in his mouth.

This left Master Ren completely dumbfounded.

Just as Uncle Nine was about to follow suit, Chen Hong coughed, and Uncle Nine immediately looked at Chen Hong.

Chen Hong added milk to the coffee, added some sugar, stirred it well, took a sip, and demonstrated it to Uncle Jiu.

Uncle Jiu glanced at Ren Tingting and immediately understood that this little girl had deliberately misled them to retaliate against Wen Cai's rudeness earlier.

He couldn't help but chuckle, mimicking Chen Hong's actions, and thankfully didn't make a fool of himself.

However, Master Ren couldn't help but tease Wencai.

"Young man, you like to drink pure coffee?"

"Ah, I like it, I like it, I just like pure things."

Wen Cai gave an awkward smile and could only grit his teeth and drink the bitter, unpalatable coffee.

If we had to change the way we drink it at the last minute, wouldn't that be even more awkward? We'd just have to bite the bullet and stick to our persona.

Ren Tingting was amused by what she saw.
