Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

"Hey, Junior Uncle, what do you want?" Zhang Chulan's tone was more serious this time.

“There’s something I need your help with.” Zhang Lingyu’s tone was also a little unnatural. “My master said that I need to train for a while and told me to come find you and go with you.”

“I am now an employee of the ‘Company.’ If you want to continue working with me, you must join the ‘Company,’” Zhang Chulan reminded him.

"Okay," Zhang Lingyu said decisively, almost without pause, as if she had already considered this issue.

He then added, "Xia He... she also wants to join the 'company'."

Zhang Chulan was silent for a moment, then said, "...I can't make a decision on this matter. Let me ask around and then I'll get back to you."

"Ok."

Zhang Lingyu had no objection to this.

Their conversation ended there. After hanging up the phone, Zhang Chulan turned his gaze to Xu Si: "Fourth Brother, what do you think?"

As an Outcast, having sharp hearing and eyesight is a standard skill. Even though Zhang Chulan didn't turn on speakerphone, he could still clearly hear the voice coming from the phone at such a close distance.

“I don’t think it’s a good idea,” Xu Si said. “Although she has reformed and is now a law-abiding citizen, we can’t forget what she did in the past. When she was still a member of Quanxing, she caused the company a lot of trouble…”

"I understand~" Zhang Chulan nodded slightly to show that he understood, and thought to himself: It's rare to see Fourth Brother use such tactful words.

Half a day later...

At the entrance of Biyou Village, a dozen cars, some cheap and some expensive, were parked at both ends of a wide open space.

Xu Si's gaze lingered for a moment before he parked his car next to an SUV and then entered Biyou Village with Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao.

As you walk along the stone-paved road, there are neat and orderly houses on both sides, and many people are moving between the houses, including extraordinary people and ordinary people.

There are two ways to make money in Biyou Village now. One is to sell clothing. Because of the special material, the clothing produced in Biyou Village has become a high-end product, which is expensive and rare.

Another type is vegetables, fruits, and meats. Vegetables, fruits, and various meats that contain "spiritual energy" are also best-selling items, expensive, and available in large quantities.

With these two products, Biyou Village quickly accumulated wealth, and its customer base included both extraordinary individuals and ordinary people.

This is also why there are ordinary people in Biyou Village.

Before the existence of the supernatural beings was revealed, ordinary people who came to Biyou Village would not see things they shouldn't see, and their freedom of movement was also limited.

However, after the existence of the supernatural beings was exposed, Biyou Village no longer hid it and openly displayed all sorts of items belonging to the supernatural beings' society.

For example, jade pendants and magical artifacts that can enhance physical strength, and special dishes that can beautify the skin...

Some of the magical artifacts were so obviously targeted that some sect leaders who remained in Biyou Village suspected that Biyou Village had planned this all along.

However, changes in the world are unpredictable, so the doubts in everyone's hearts dissipated.

Aside from Zhang Zhiwei, who knew just how outrageous Fang Rui's strength was, he strongly agreed with some people's speculations that Fang Rui might have known long ago that the world would change and had made many preparations...

“It’s really lively…”

Xu Si looked at the bustling street, his gaze wandering between the shops on both sides.

"It's really lively!"

This was his first time visiting Biyou Village, and it was also the first time he had ever seen ordinary people buying magical artifacts.

"...Specialty dishes!!!"

Feng Baobao's gaze was drawn to the restaurant, and she walked towards it without thinking.

Zhang Chulan reached out a hand, grabbed Feng Baobao's coat collar, and pulled her forward: "...Bao'er, don't run around, important business is more important!"

Feng Baobao did not struggle. Upon hearing this, she nodded gently, turned around and followed Zhang Chulan. Zhang Chulan then let go of her hand.

"...Where should we look for Fang Rui? Should we ask someone? Will he treat us to a meal?" Feng Baobao asked.

"Yes, it will." Zhang Chulan's tone was certain. He had a good relationship with Ma Xianhong, so he shouldn't have to pay for meals in Biyou Village.

"As for where to find him..." Zhang Chulan took out his phone, found Ma Xianhong's number, and dialed it.

"Zhang Chulan, did you receive the news before calling me?"

Upon hearing Ma Xianhong's words, Zhang Chulan was immediately taken aback. News? What news?

Why would Ma Xianhong think that I would call him after I knew the "news"?

Thinking this through, Zhang Chulan said calmly, "That's right, I came here for that matter."

Stop with the small talk, let's get some information out of them first.

"As expected." Ma Xianhong chuckled. "Your information network is quite good! Come to me, I'll take you to see him."

After saying that, Ma Xianhong hung up the phone.

Zhang Chulan: "…………" Tell me, where are you?!

After a few seconds of silence, Zhang Chulan stopped a villager and asked him where Ma Xianhong was.

It just so happens that the villager was someone who had participated in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony. He recognized the person asking about the village chief's location as a relative of the village chief and immediately told Zhang Chulan with a smile where the village chief might be.

Get Ma Xianhong's and Fang Rui's residences!

"Got the address? Who should I go to?"

"Ma Xianhong".

Xu Si, who had been listening in the entire time, did not hesitate; he was very interested in the information Ma Xianhong had mentioned.

"Row."

The three then set off for a mountain near Biyou Village.

A while later, they arrived at the Cultivation Hall. After wandering around the hall for a while, they couldn't find Ma Xianhong and knew that he wasn't there. So the group set off for the forging workshop.

Inside the forging workshop, I met Ma Xianhong, who was studying a cube.

Upon seeing Zhang Chulan and the others, Ma Xianhong readily said, "Come with me! I'll take you to see him."

Holding the cube, Ma Xianhong descended the bluestone steps and headed straight for Biyou Village.

Zhang Chulan and the others: "…………"

We've just started climbing the mountain, and now we have to come down...

Why not set the meeting place at the foot of the mountain?!

After internally complaining for a while, the group chased after Ma Xianhong and arrived at a certain house.

The house is located at the foot of the mountain covered with pear trees, quite far from the central area of ​​Biyou Village, and is relatively quiet.

Ma Xianhong pushed open the door, and Zhang Chulan and the others followed him into the room.

What followed, however, left everyone stunned.

Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Huaiyi were playing chess, while Tian Jinzhong watched from the side.

"what's the situation?!"

Zhang Chulan and Xu Si's eyes widened immediately. Just as they were about to ask, "Who are you? Why are you impersonating my grandfather (Zhang Huaiyi)?" they suddenly realized that the people with "Zhang Huaiyi" were Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong. If someone impersonated "Zhang Huaiyi", could they fool the two of them?

Zhang Chulan believes the answer is NO!

That is to say...

The person in front of you might be someone else who looks like "Zhang Huaiyi".

"It's you! Grandpa, can you tell me... about my background now?"

Hearing Feng Baobao's words, Zhang Huaiyi was somewhat surprised. He looked at Feng Baobao and asked, "How did you recognize me?"

"Your appearance and your aura have not changed."

"I see, it's an aura~"

Zhang Huaiyi understood; different people have different auras, and no two auras are exactly the same.

However, there is a way to completely erase one's aura. As the owner of Qi Body Source Flow, one of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, he naturally has a certain understanding of the other extraordinary techniques.

"Of course, I'll tell you about your background later, but what I know is also limited."

Upon hearing this, Feng Baobao seemed to want to say something, but Ma Xianhong put his hand on Feng Baobao's left shoulder to stop her from asking further questions and divert her attention.

“I’ll take you to meet someone else; he should also know about your background.”

Not wanting the touching scene of grandfather and grandson reuniting to be disturbed, Ma Xianhong threw Ruan Feng out as a shield.

Feng Baobao looked at Zhang Huaiyi for a while, then turned to Ma Xianhong and said, "Let's go."

The two left together and headed to another house a hundred meters away, which was Nguyen Phong's residence.

After hesitating for a while, Xu Si ultimately decided not to leave with Feng Baobao, but to stay there.

Zhang Huaiyi's gaze fell on Zhang Chulan, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "Chulan, you've grown up~"

“You…” Zhang Chulan hesitated, his expression complicated.

"No doubt about it, I am your grandfather Zhang Huaiyi. After all, there's no way an imposter could fool his senior brother."

"But you..."

"You mean I've already... you know, so why am I popping up again now, right?"

Zhang Chulan nodded with a slightly larger arc, indicating that he was not at peace with himself at the moment.

“I don’t know the details either.” Zhang Huaiyi pondered for a moment and then explained, “Simply put, someone resurrected me for some purpose and through some means.”

"Resurrected?!" Zhang Chulan and Xu Si were extremely surprised.

'Yes, yes, that's the expression.'

"When I learned that my junior brother had been resurrected, I was quite surprised; it completely changed my worldview!"

Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong, who were watching the scene unfold, nodded slightly, clearly satisfied with the two men's reaction.

"According to him, I was able to be resurrected because I had a remnant soul inside me," Zhang Huaiyi added.

But the shock in Zhang Chulan and Xu Si's hearts did not diminish in the slightest. No matter how harsh the conditions were, they could not change the absurdity of the matter.

"...Due to the incompleteness of my soul, my memories are not entirely complete. Xianhong is searching for a way to repair my soul."

"Grandpa, I... need to calm down." Zhang Chulan rubbed his forehead, feeling a little dizzy.

Once he recovered, Xu Si grasped the crux of the matter: "Who resurrected you?"

“It’s Fang Rui, the deputy village chief of Biyou Village,” Zhang Huaiyi answered readily.
