One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

"It's not just about weapon crafting!"

Zhao Fangxu said urgently:

"The Divine Craftsmanship can turn the rotten into the miraculous, mass-producing magical artifacts! Moreover, that Ma Xianhong, he set up a Body Cultivation Furnace in Biyou Village, claiming it can transform ordinary people into superhumans!"

"Uncle Zhang, do you know what this means?"

"This is violating the population red line! This is challenging the bottom line of the superhuman world! If he continues like this, the world will descend into chaos!"

Zhao Fangxu looked at Zhang Tianyi, his eyes full of pleading:

"Uncle Zhang, I know you don't respect the company's rules."

"But this time... Ma Xianhong's matter is too big. The company has decided to take action against him."

"I came here today to sound out your opinion... what is your attitude towards this matter?"

"You...you're not going to protect him, are you?"

This is what Zhao Fangxu fears most.

Zhang Tianyi acts entirely on his whim. If he finds Ma Xianhong interesting and insists on protecting him, then no matter how many temporary workers the company sends, they'll just be delivering vegetables.

After listening, Zhang Tianyi finally put down his chopsticks.

He pulled out a tissue, elegantly wiped his mouth, then took the jade pendant out of his pocket and tossed it onto the table with a crisp "clink".

"Xiao Zhao, you're being too narrow-minded in your thinking."

Zhang Tianyi leaned back in her chair, arms crossed, her eyes behind her sunglasses gleaming with an unfathomable light.

"Although I am protective of my own and my children, I am also a person of great principle."

"I don't know Ma Xianhong, and we have no connection."

"but……"

Zhang Tianyi changed the subject, her tone becoming somewhat domineering:

"Since this kid has sent us an invitation, I have to go and check it out."

"As for whether I'm going to have some tea or to cause trouble..."

Zhang Tianyi looked at the nervous Zhao Fangxu and a mischievous smile crept onto his lips:

"That depends on his performance and my mood."

"Courtesy first, then force; that's my rule."

"If your company wants to take action, go ahead."

"but……"

Zhang Tianyi extended a finger and gently tapped the jade pendant on the table:

"Before I've had enough fun, or before I've asked what I want to ask."

"Don't be in such a hurry to cause trouble!"

"Understand?"

Zhao Fangxu's heart skipped a beat, but at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.

At least, this man didn't say he would protect Ma Xianhong.

As long as we avoid a direct confrontation, there is still room for maneuver.

"I understand! I understand! I completely understand!"

Zhao Fangxu nodded hurriedly, "As long as you don't interfere, Uncle Zhang, we will definitely cooperate! We will definitely cooperate!"

"Just cooperate."

Zhang Tianyi picked up her chopsticks again and pointed to the little meat left in the pot:

"Alright, we've finished discussing the important matters."

"Xiao Zhao, look at you, all sweaty. It must have been tough for you."

"Here, this lamb kidney is for you, it'll help nourish your kidneys."

Zhao Fangxu looked at the kidney, savored the taste of the fermented mung bean juice in his mouth, and felt his stomach churning again.

"Thank you... thank you Uncle Zhang for the reward..."

Zhao Fangxu ate the kidney with tears in his eyes.

Chapter 74 Brother Xiao, it's me, Zhang Chulan!

Two days later.

Within Guizhou, highways wind their way through towering mountains and deep valleys.

A heavily modified luxury RV is speeding smoothly along the highway.

The carriage, which should have been a bit cramped, has been transformed into a small luxury suite.

The genuine leather sofa is large and soft, and even has a massage function.

The central, lift-up table was piled high with all sorts of snacks:

Imported cherries, freshly cut cantaloupe, and ice-cold cola.

There was even a plate of freshly baked, sizzling toothpick meat—all thanks to the small kitchen in the car that even had an oven.

In the driver's seat, Feng Baobao wore a pair of large pink sunglasses and held the steering wheel firmly with both hands.

While driving, she would occasionally free one hand to precisely pull a spicy snack from the snack bag in the passenger seat next to her and pop it into her mouth.

"Smack, smack."

The large screen in the car is playing "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

"Sister Bao'er, watch where you're going! Watch where you're going! Stop looking at Grey Wolf!"

Zhang Chulan was a little nervous because Bao'er was driving too wildly.

Meanwhile, he was wearing an apron, bustling around in the back of the truck like a diligent waiter.

"Here it comes! My goodness, your iced cola, with ice, three-tenths sugar, and it's flat!"

Zhang Chulan, holding a tray, handed the drinks to the main seat on the sofa with a fawning expression.

There, Zhang Tianyi was sprawled out in a massage chair, holding his phone, his two thumbs dancing wildly across the screen, while he passionately uttered:

"Go! Support! Are you going shopping?!"

"Zhuge Fox! Where's your control? Heal me now!!"

Sitting opposite him, Zhuge Qing maintained an elegant posture even while playing games.

He squinted his handsome, fox-like eyes, his slender fingers lightly tapping the screen, his tone helpless:

"Good heavens, I'm a mage, not a healer... and you rushed in too fast. My ultimate skill wasn't even ready yet, and you gave away first blood."

"Bullshit! That was a strategic suicide mission! It was to mislead the enemy!"

Zhang Tianyi stubbornly refused to admit he was bad at the game, and turned to Wang Ye, who was sitting next to him with his eyes closed as if in deep meditation, and shouted:

"Xiao Wang! Wake up! Let's party! We lost this round because you didn't yell '666' for us!"

Wang Ye painfully pulled the blindfold off his face a little, revealing a pair of dark circles under his eyes, looking utterly hopeless.

"Second Master... I just want to catch up on some sleep... My dad dragged me to look at over a dozen real estate developments these past few days, I'm really exhausted..."

"If you're feeling weak, eat some kidneys! Chu Lan! Grill two skewers of kidneys for Master Wang to help him recover!"

"Alright! I'll arrange it right away!"

Zhang Chulan dutifully went into the small kitchen.

……

The RV traveled westward and finally came to a slow stop at a highway service area near Liupanshui.

"Whoa—"

Feng Baobao slammed on the brakes, and the car came to a steady stop.

"We're here. Go pee, then eat."

Bao'er's logic is simple and direct.

As the car door opened, a blast of cool air from the mountainous region of Guizhou rushed in.

"Ouch, my back is aching from sitting so long."

Zhang Tianyi stretched and jumped out of the car first.

He was still dressed in his usual flamboyant style, but today, to match the theme of "road trip," he changed into a camouflage windbreaker and wore Doc Martens boots.

"Let's go for a walk, get some fresh air, and see what good food this service area has."

The group marched in a large procession toward the service area building.

Zhang Chulan walked at the back, carrying a large bag of trash in his hand.

Just as Zhang Chulan reached the entrance of the convenience store, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

His gaze settled on a somewhat lonely figure not far from the convenience store entrance.

A middle-aged man wearing a dark green jacket and gold-rimmed glasses, who looked very refined.

If you don't look closely, he's just an ordinary office worker or a middle school dean of students.

At this moment, the uncle was holding a bucket of "braised beef noodles" that had just been torn open.

With a sausage tucked under his arm, he was walking towards the hot water dispenser to get some hot water.

Zhang Chulan was stunned for a moment, and then the WeChat profile picture of the temporary worker of Nadutong East China Region flashed through his mind.

That profile picture...

That headshot, brimming with kindness and compassion...

He looks exactly like the person in front of him!
