Suddenly, purple-gold flames ignited on the branches above the furnace, quickly burning away all the spreading roots.

At the same time, the same flames lit up throughout the entire workshop—clearly someone had damaged the root system of the Jianmu tree.

"Oh? That's interesting."

Tingyun held the fan in front of her, a shadowy glint in her eyes.

.......

On the other hand, after harvesting the black deer and the roots of the Jianmu tree, Lin Yuan left the Bureau of Works and Construction.

He crossed several blockades set up by Yunqi (a type of cavalry), and after showing his identity token, he passed through smoothly and returned to Changletian.

The location of Changletian Company.

Upon seeing Lin Yuan appear, the members of the Hammer Squad, along with Xiao Han, Mu Zheng, and other subordinates, quickly gathered around.

With the situation in Luofu becoming increasingly turbulent and people feeling anxious, they are all uncertain without Lin Yuan, their pillar of support, stepping forward.

After appearing at the company's branches and headquarters and offering reassurance and comfort to the employees, the company staff immediately felt at ease.

"Captain, what about the Star Core Hunter?"

Walking through the streets and alleys of Changletian, Xiang Yu asked curiously.

"I released them."

"Huh?!" Xiang Yu was stunned, but Mu Zheng beside him reacted.

"This must have been done intentionally by Lord Lin..."

Mu Zheng stroked his chin, looking wistful:

"The lord must have turned that Star Core Hunter against his side, or he's playing the long game. In any case, the lord must have a deeper meaning behind doing this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt all eyes on him. Even Lin Yuan's expression was somewhat strange.

After a moment, Lin Yuan smiled and shook his head:

"There aren't that many twists and turns, but we did collect some interest from that Star Core Hunter. Coming to Luofu this time, I really discovered that the company has overlooked quite a few talented people."

Lin Yuan glanced at the people behind him.

"Work hard. Once things are mostly settled, I will invite those who have performed well to join my team. After we finish our duties, we will return to Pierpoint together."

Upon hearing this, the employees of the Xianzhou branch immediately showed expressions of surprise and disbelief.

Even Xiao Han stammered as he spoke:

"Report... Lord Lin, the projects you previously instructed are all progressing smoothly. Once the situation in Luofu calms down, we will soon see results."

"Hey, young people want to improve too?"

Mu Zheng glanced at him, then spoke up: "We've made a lot of progress in recruiting those retired Cloud Riders and Immortal Ship people with whom we've built good relationships. Like Yao Qing, there are many who are willing to work for the company."

"Once we've selected a group, the physical prowess of the Xianzhou people, combined with the company's weaponry, will surely allow us to build a formidable team to serve you!"

Lin Yuan's eyes flickered, and he nodded.

It's indeed time to build a foundation and cultivate loyal followers. We'll see if we can bring Minister Spear over so that the Tver faction and the Immortal Boat faction can work together to build the initial framework of the faction.

Of course, all of this will have to wait until the matter of the Immortal Ship is resolved.

"Aren't we there yet? Why is it so far?"

"We'll be there soon, we'll be there soon. The main issue is that the wounded need a quiet place to recuperate, so we've gone a bit out of the way."

Seeing Lin Yuan's lack of interest, Mu Zheng, observing his expression, glanced smugly at Xiao Han. He then stepped forward to lead the way.

...........

As we stepped into the quiet courtyard, the staff inside saw the group approaching and immediately stood respectfully to the side to bow.

Ahead was a spacious, clean, and bright recovery room, furnished with several high-tech hospital beds.

Several injured company employees are recuperating here. The facility is fully equipped with entertainment facilities, and there is even a doctor invited by Dan Ding Si.

Hearing the commotion at the door, a well-mannered employee looked up and saw who it was. He was shocked and immediately tried to get up.

Lin Yuanchong gestured for him to lie down quietly and nodded.

The employee's face immediately lit up with excitement, as if he had received a tremendous honor.

After traveling through the area, the group finally stopped at the innermost bed.

"Ugh, why is it so noisy? I'm looking at the doctor, can't you give us wounded people some quiet space?"

Scott rolled over sleepily, only to be met with Xiaohan's expressionless face.

"Hey, team leader, what brings you here?"

Lone Wolf gave an awkward smile and sat up slightly.

But Xiao Han moved away expressionlessly, revealing the person behind him.

"Lin... Lord Linlin!"

Scott's expression changed drastically, and he stammered. He hurriedly tried to get up from the bed, but the movement aggravated his wound, causing him to wince in pain.

"I've come to see our hero. He should rest and relax."

Lin Yuan smiled faintly and pressed his hand down slightly, and Scott immediately stopped moving.

"How are they? How badly are they injured?"

Lin Yuan asked the person in charge beside him, who looked excited and quickly introduced the situation to Lin Yuan.

Mu Zhengze, who was standing nearby, arranged for people to take photos and videos to record the scene before him.

A moment later, Lin Yuan turned his attention back to Scott.

"The Star Core Hunter did a great job on this mission; you'll definitely get credit for the follow-up work. What are your thoughts on this operation?"

"Uh, sir... While it's quite fulfilling, this was really too much of a thrill. I, Scott, simply can't handle this kind of work next time."

Lone Wolf said tactfully.

"Oh, that's a pity. If you still had the courage, I was originally planning to train you properly and take you to headquarters."

Lin Yuan shook his head with some regret. Looking at Scott's changing expression, he said softly:

"Do you want to be an ordinary employee, working diligently and conscientiously in the company's branch office your whole life? In the end, you'll retire in a cushy position in a traditional project department and peacefully spend your ordinary life in bed?"

Or will you choose a more dramatic path, one filled with adventure and trials? Will you continuously grow and advance, journeying to Pierpoint to realize your ambitions and become a true legend?

To be an unknown nobody, or to become famous? Think about it.

Chapter 240 The Flames of War Rise

Amidst the farewells of the company's employees, Lin departed from Changletian's residence.

Soon, two pinned articles appeared on the company intranet—

Comrade Lin Yuan extended his sincere condolences to the injured employees of the company.

Representative Lin Yuan poses the question: Are you an unknown nobody, or someone famous throughout the world?

The article was vivid and engaging, accompanied by pictures and videos, and quickly sparked discussion and excitement within the Luofu Company branch, with dedicated personnel organizing study sessions.

From that moment on, the image of this representative was deeply imprinted in the minds of every employee.

After explaining the relevant matters, the person in charge finally finished with the miscellaneous tasks.

In Chang Le Tian's courtyard, he sensed the movement of the chess game, then leaped up and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the distance.

"The captain has set off alone again, just like before."

In the nearby camp, the members of the Hammerfall Squad watched the streak of light disappear into the distance, feeling a mix of emotions and reminiscing about the past.

"Alas, we are still too weak to share the burden for our captain."

Wu Qi clenched his fist tightly and shook his head slightly.

"Just do what Captain Lin asked you to do. After following the captain for so long, haven't you figured out his thoughts yet? Even ordinary people like us have the power to control our own destiny in the future. And what we need to do is work together to make it happen."

Sakura smiled and spoke.

"Remember that white light; I believe that day will come."

A sudden realization struck everyone, and then a light shone in their eyes. A universe controlled by the egos of countless individuals... Interesting.

...........

A dazzling streak of light flashed across the sky above Changletian, attracting the gazes of many who were looking up at the heavens.

"Look, it's an immortal!"

"Oh dear, where did this immortal come from? Have you been listening to too many storytelling performances?"

A child's excited voice rang out, and his family members looked up, jokingly. But they were suddenly dumbfounded.

A figure flashed across the sky, dazzling with light.

At the Sanyu Bookstore, Mr. Xiyan, who was studying literary classics there, saw a flash of light, looked up, and was amazed.

"I've got it! I've got an idea! Hey! This is the true beauty of a celestial being!"

west Yan spoke up happily, but felt that the figure looked somewhat familiar.

What is an immortal? A person who stands atop a mountain.

When you are on a high vantage point, do not lose your principles; when you are in danger, do not forget your hidden secrets.

The streak of light left a long tail, cutting through the clouds, and headed straight for Jianmu.

..........

In the year 8100 of the Star Calendar, the battle later known as the Illusionary Chaos gradually came to an end.

The Dan Ding Division and the main force of the Cloud Cavalry completely surrounded this cave, laying a net that stretched from top to bottom.

Golden light illuminated the sky, and within the vast clouds, layers of gleaming swords shone like a forest.

Banners fluttered, and the deep, resounding sound of war drums boomed like thunder.
