The city enforcement officers were responsible for managing everything in the base city. With the young man in white leading the charge, Ye Chen felt a lot more at ease. With the young man's talent in martial arts, he could train all the troops in the base city into elites.
The young man in white frowned slightly after hearing Ye Chen's words. He pondered for a while and nodded. "Okay!"
Ye Chen looked around and said calmly, "I'll talk to you in a private space later." Then, he disappeared into thin air and exited the virtual world.
Everyone was shocked to see Ye Chen leave just like that.
The tall and sturdy man and the robust man quickly gathered around the white-clothed young man and asked him all sorts of questions. Xu Tianguo knew what Ye Chen meant. He waited for the white-clothed young man and his two brothers to finish their conversation. Then, he walked over to them and explained some follow-up matters.
"Boss is in a luxurious conference hall in the virtual world. You will receive an invitation later. Just go and talk to him directly." Xu Tianguo smiled and said gracefully.
The young man in white looked at him. Although he looked down on the latter's combat skills, he had to admit that the latter had his advantages. Besides, they might be colleagues in the future. He nodded slightly and said in surprise, "A luxurious conference hall?"
He had been in the virtual world for a long time and knew many of the facilities there. Therefore, he had also heard that there was an extremely luxurious conference hall for people of high status to enjoy.
Xu Tianguo nodded and smiled. He didn't say anything more.
The young man in white regretted his words as soon as he said them. He secretly mocked him. With Ye Chen's identity and status, it would be a piece of cake for him to go to that luxurious conference hall.
Not long after, the three brothers received the invitation letters one after another.
"Do you agree to enter Luxurious Conference Hall 01?"
"Yes!"
The three brothers confirmed at the same time. Then, they disappeared and appeared outside a luxurious hall.
Even with the white-robed young man's mental fortitude, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him. He saw that the entire hall of the palace was in the clouds in the sky. Under his feet was a rainbow bridge. In the distance, there were immortal springs and famous cranes. Behind the clouds, there seemed to be beautiful figures dancing, graceful and charming.
While the three of them were in a daze, a petite and cute girl who looked like a little fairy walked in front of them and brought them outside the palace. There was a large bathtub with clear spring water and hot air.
Ye Chen soaked in the bathtub and closed his eyes to rest. Beside him were two virtual beauties massaging his shoulders and back. In the virtual world, although everything was illusory, the 100% tactile sensation felt real. It could be considered a free enjoyment.
"Come in." Ye Chen didn't open his eyes, but it was as if he could see the white-clothed youth and the other two.
The white-clothed youth looked around. He didn't refuse and led the way into the hot spring. The warm spring water had a special fragrance. It was very comfortable to soak in it. It was as if all of his fatigue had disappeared.
Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the three of them. He said calmly, "When you enter the base city, I will set up a special city management department. It has a very high authority and is above all the other departments. You can go to any place to find talents and add them. As for the construction of the city management department, I won't do anything."
The white-clothed youth gazed at him and said, "You mean, all the members of the city management department will be recruited by me? You are not afraid that I will lead this department to rebel?"
Ye Chen said calmly, "You won't." His voice was very firm.
The white-clothed youth was slightly stunned. He stared at Ye Chen for a while and suddenly sneered, "That's not necessarily true. I said that I will defeat you one day!"
Ye Chen said calmly, "This is a private matter. You are welcome to come at any time. Now, your task is to build the city management department. In the future, when monsters attack the base city, the city management department will be at the forefront. This department will be above the military department. So, I hope you will take good care of it."
The white-clothed youth said proudly, "Of course. I will not mix business with private matters!
As long as you give me enough resources, I can build the strongest city management department for you and help you conquer the world! "
Ye Chen nodded, "Don't worry about the resources. Later, you will give the real world address to Xu Tianguo. After a while, he will arrange strong people to pick you up and help you improve your physique in the real world.
During this time, you will train your combat skills in the virtual world. If you need anything else, just tell Xu Tianguo. "
The white-clothed youth agreed immediately.
Ye Chen was looking forward to it. With the white-clothed youth's ability, as long as he had enough resources, he believed that his achievements would not be lower than in his previous life. If he could create 3,000 or more people with powerful combat skills, the city management department alone would be enough to conquer the world. This was not a boast at all. In fact, with the current nine Divine Grades of the Xuanyuan family, they could conquer the world!
However …
Coincidentally, the Ice Age came at this time.
When the tall and sturdy man beside him saw that his big brother, whom he always respected, was at a disadvantage in front of Ye Chen, he felt somewhat indignant and muttered, "Hmph, if my big brother hadn't been captured by that bastard back then, his achievements would definitely not be lower than yours!"
Ye Chen opened one of his eyes and glanced at him. He asked, "Who captured him?"
The burly man's face was full of arrogance as he said, "At that time, when the apocalypse broke out, the three of us brothers were originally training. In the end, a person suddenly broke in. That person saw that our combat skills were good when we were training, so he forcibly captured us!
Originally, with our strength, it was easy to deal with that person. However, the other party was an evolved powerhouse. In the early days of the apocalypse, he was already at level 100! "
"Just like that, after the three of us were captured, we were forced by that person to teach him combat skills. However, combat skills are not something that can be learned in a day or two. As time passed, in the end, that person was injured by a monster when he went out to hunt and escaped back. On the surface, we were respectful, but secretly took the opportunity to kill him and eat his flesh and blood. However, at that time, our strength was too far behind. Many monsters evolved under the virus and became stronger. Although our combat skills were strong, we were unable to kill them."
"Otherwise, with our strength, we could have ascended all the way in the early days of the apocalypse. If we met gods, we would have killed gods. If we met ghosts, we would have killed ghosts. We would have been famous people!"
The burly man said in one breath and looked at Ye Chen with contempt. It was as if he was saying, "Your position is given to you by me."
Ye Chen nodded slightly. Given the strength of these three brothers, it was indeed a little strange that they had only begun to show their talents now. He glanced at the burly man and said, "Luck is also a part of one's strength. After some time, I will ask Xu Tianguo to improve your physiques. At that time, it will be up to you."
The burly man's eyes lit up, "Really?"
Ye Chen closed his eyes and did not speak again.
…
In the next few days, a grand challenge was held in the virtual world. As long as one could stand out in the challenge and be favored by the young man in white, they would be able to join the strongest department in Guang Ming Base City!
These few days, it was very lively. Many unknown people also participated.
Ye Chen did not enter the virtual world again. He calculated the time. In the next few days, Earth should be undergoing a major disaster: the cold!
In fact, as Ye Chen expected, the northern region of Earth had completely turned into ice. Many monsters that could not escape in time were frozen into ice. This cold air swept across the world and spread to the south. The Xinjiang region in China was already covered in ice and snow. It continued down to Guangxi, Shenzhen, and other regions.
Time passed …
Dark Calendar, Year 1, August 20th!
The ice age had completely arrived!
Xu Tianguo came to Ye Chen's training room and said in surprise, "President, I brought the Purple Cloud Island Master and the others out to fish today. I didn't expect the outside to be frozen. The seawater is so thick. If it all turns into ice, we can go out!"
Ye Chen opened his eyes. After a moment of silence, he stood up and walked out, "Tell the Purple Cloud Island Master and the others to gather at the entrance of the ruins. In addition, take some people and prepare to break the ice!"
"Yes!" Xu Tianguo answered excitedly.
Ye Chen looked into the distance with an unknown glow in his eyes. "The ice age will last for two years. It will be the volcanic age. Now, five months have passed. There's still a year and a half left!"
The arrival of the volcanic age also meant that …
Life on Earth would be completely wiped out. Even microorganisms would not exist!
It was unimaginable that the land would be covered in magma, stinky oxygen, and dust …
"The volcanic age will last for three years. During this time, we have to find the ancient world gate. Otherwise, if we hide in the ruins again, the food reserves will not last for two years. Unless we're alone!
"Based on the current situation, the ancient world gate should have opened on Earth. However, it can only be opened when we reach the Ghostly Immortal realm. There's still a year and a half to break through to the Ghostly Immortal realm …"
Ye Chen frowned deeply. He took a step forward and walked out, suppressing his worries.
In the square, many people had gathered. Through the loudspeakers, everyone knew that they could finally leave and return to the home of humanity: Earth!
After a few days, many ordinary people had run out of food and were starving. When they heard that they could leave the ruins, they were overjoyed.
As long as they could leave, there would be a way to obtain food. However, in the ruins, there was no way, unless … they ate humans!
Rebellion!
The Purple Cloud Island Master and the rest were floating in the sky, surrounding Ye Chen. As the ruins opened, everyone looked up. This time, there was no seawater falling from above, but a block of ice!
"Chisel it open!" Ye Chen said.
The Heavenly Palace Island Master took a step forward. His eyes were filled with fighting spirit. He clenched his fists and charged forward like a sharp arrow. His entire body's strength surged as he crashed into the block of ice. Soon, a hole with a diameter of ten feet was carved out.
Poof!
Poof!
Poof!
The Heavenly Palace Island Master brandished his battle saber left and right, slicing the block of ice into shards. The shards drifted down. Some of the ice shards contained the corpses of fish monsters.
