On the 647th floor, Room 14.

After Jiang Baimian finished writing up the contributions that she needed to submit today, she stood up, rubbed her shoulders, and said to Long Yuehong and Bai Chen, Since we have nothing to do, lets go to the training room for some exercise.

Alright! The person who replied wasnt Long Yuehong or Bai Chen but Shang Jianyao, who had suddenly appeared at the door.

Jiang Baimian glanced at him and scoffed. Didnt you say that you wanted to experience the boards exclusive canteen? Why are you back so early? Its not even noon!

As far as she knew, there was no so-called Board of Directors exclusive canteen at all. There was only the managements exclusive canteen. Of course, the directors had special treatment when they went to any exclusive canteen for management. It was equivalent to having a private room with special dishes served.

Shang Jianyao sighed in disappointment. Its because Im too early that I could only wait in the corridor on the fifth floor. The guards found me unsightly and that I was a stain on the environment, so they kept urging me to leave.

The fifth floor of Pangu Biologys underground building was the Management Zone.

If you werent an Awakened in the Mind Corridor and had a high status, those guards definitely wouldnt just be persuading you

Jiang Baimian smiled and said, And you came back just like that?

Otherwise? Ive always been law-abiding and a model employee. This was indeed how Shang Jianyao thought of himself.

Jiang Baimian laughed. It will be difficult for you to go to the fifth floor again. Without the higher-ups there inviting you and obtaining permission in advance, you wont be able to enter.

This was still a relatively relaxed situation. If anything happened, the alert level would rise. Employees who didnt obtain permission couldnt even press the corresponding elevator b.u.t.ton if they wanted to go to the fifth floor or lower.

As for the fire escape routes, they would definitely be sealed. Furthermore, there were many of them. The ordinary employees and management used different stairs.

Its fine. Ive already spoken to them; they will open the door for me when the time comes. Shang Jianyao smiled smugly.

Spoken to them? Long Yuehong asked in confusion.

Shang Jianyao nodded in all seriousness. Thats right. I made many friends there.

Made friends

The corners of Long Yuehongs mouth twitched in response.

Jiang Baimian asked in exasperation and amus.e.m.e.nt, Since youve already made friends, why did you return? Cant you just stay on the fifth floor?

Shang Jianyao frankly replied, What they said does make sense. I agree that me squatting there waiting is quite unsightly.

Did you make friends with them to be convinced by them?

Jiang Baimian rolled her eyes and gave up on following Shang Jianyaos train of thought.

She pointed in the direction of the changing room. Lets go to the training room.

The spot youre pointing in doesnt seem right, the honest Shang Jianyao pointed out.

Jiang Baimian flew into a rage out of humiliation. So you dont change before training?

Oh! Shang Jianyao clapped, making Jiang Baimian feel like killing him.

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen didnt dare to interject or speak.

After the team members changed and entered the training room, Jiang Baimian was in no rush to find someone to spar with. Instead, she did some aerobics to warm up her muscles bit by bit.

As she practiced, she glanced not far away and teased, Why are the two of you so affectionate when youre stretching each other? Give me back my eyes!

Long Yuehong immediately felt embarra.s.sed, while Bai Chen was completely unaffected and replied, You can also find someone to help you stretch.

Jiang Baimian opened her mouth and was speechless.

Rage rose in her that she had no qualms about doing anything. She turned her head to Shang Jianyao and said, Come, lets have a fight first!

Shang Jianyao gasped exaggeratedly. Dont hit the face!

The two of them put on their armor and boxing gloves, walked to the middle of the training room, and began sparring.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bang! Bang!

Jiang Baimian attacked like a raging fire. Her fists were like dragons, beating Shang Jianyao as he ran around cowering.

Why did you use all your strength today? Shang Jianyao asked in confusion as he ran and blocked.

Jiang Baimian smiled brightly. Im happy today!

To be honest, she was indeed in a good mood. As she had successfully returned home last night, she took the initiative to mention that only the Eighth Research Inst.i.tute remained to be found for the subsequent missions when faced with Madam Xues complaints of not knowing when she will be out on another mission and dont make us parents die after our child. She then said that the subsequent missions would be left to the company. They only needed to do some of the things a.s.signed to them and didnt have to go out all the time.

This made her parents very happy.

Jiang Baimians mood improved when she saw that they were happy. Therefore, she made Shang Jianyao experience her happiness.

495th floor, Zone C, Room 11.

After dinner, Long Yuehongwho hadnt gone home to sleep yesterdaynervously opened his door.

Long Dayong, Gu Hong, and Long Aihong sat in their respective seats as they watched the LCD screen on the television cabinet by the wall.

Long Yuehong had used contribution points to exchange for this before his last mission.

It was said that a company had moved it out of Swamp Ruin 1, and the company had returned several screens to them.

This thing was actually useless in Pangu Biology. After all, the Entertainment Department had only recently considered the possibility of forming a television station. The LCD screens in the companys Rec Center were really just used to show some information or to give people who liked to sing during weekends a background when there were the corresponding activities.

In very few cases, the Entertainment Department would send specialized personnel to play Old World films to enrich the employees leisure lives.

However, the Long family had a laptop that Long Yuehong had brought back with him; it contained a large amount of Old World entertainment. Compared to the small laptop screen, it was clearly better to play the content on a larger LCD screen.

Im back. Long Yuehong glanced at the flickering scene on the LCD screen and recognized that it was a drama serial that he found garrulous.

Okay. Gu Hong nodded.

Long Dayong turned his head to look at the door and casually said, Ah, youre back.

With that said, he cast his gaze back at the LCD screen.

Long Aihong didnt even raise her eyelids. She didnt say a word and was abnormally focused.

Although he didnt receive the attention he deserved, Long Yuehong heaved a sigh of relief. He then casually found a seat in the living room and sat down to watch the television with his family.

After an episode ended, Gu Hong seemed to come to a realization and reprimanded Long Yuehong. Why didnt you say anything when you entered?

Long Yuehong didnt know how to respond. His experience was to just ignore the comment.

As expected, Gu Hongs focus quickly s.h.i.+fted. She smiled and took out an irregular cube made of light-yellow paper from her pocket.

Gu Hong then looked at the window and suppressed her voice. Here, a Babymaker talisman!

What talisman? Long Yuehong reached out to take it with a confused expression.

Gu Hong smiled. The Babymaker talisman! It can bless your wife with a child soon.

Long Yuehong glanced at his mother suspiciously. Where did you get it?

He remembered that only the older generation had such a culture of using Babymaker talismans. At his parents generation, genetic enhancement technology had already matured. Many problems of infertility had never been inherited, so there was no need to pray for additional blessings.

However, nothing was absolute. Genetic enhancement could only be said to have eliminated some problems in advance, but the effects of everyones enhancements were different. Some were good, and some were bad. For example, Long Yuehong himself was only 1.75 meters tall after genetic enhancement.

Gu Hong replied righteously, From your grandmother!

Alright. Long Yuehong casually accepted the Babymaker talisman and stuffed it into his pocket.

As Bai Chen had asked him to stay at home today, he had nothing to do and decided to visit the Rec Center to have a chat with his old cla.s.smates and friends he hadnt seen in months.

After entering the Rec Center, Long Yuehong casually swept his gaze around and suddenly felt a little down. He saw the newly transferred Rec Centers PIC.

This lady didnt live on the 495th floor; she only came here to work every day.

Sigh, why would a nice person like Grandpa Chen be infected with the Heartless disease What a sudden disaster

Long Yuehong sighed inwardly and walked to a corner of the Rec Center.

The Old Task Force had now preliminarily confirmed that the reason Chen Xianyuthe former PIC of the 495th floors Rec Centerwas infected with the Heartless disease was that a few New World powerhouses from the company had temporarily returned during First Citys uprising to guard against any accidents. This inevitably resulted in a portion of the Heartless virus leaking from the New World into Pangu Biology.

Long Yuehong had just sat down, and before he could adjust his mindset and search for an acquaintance, he heard Shang Jianyaos voice.

Everyone, everyone, what song do you want to hear? The Spring Welcoming Singing Compet.i.tion is about to begin. I need more practice.

Long Yuehong looked over with a blank expression and saw Shang Jianyao wearing a dark-blue coat and holding a microphone as he stood in front of the Rec Centers LCD screen to seek everyones opinion.

Beside his feet, the small black speaker with a blue bottom was prepared to fire at any moment.

The people playing cards, playing chess, and chatting in the Rec Center replied, It has to be more festive!

It has to make people happy listening to it!

Shang Jianyao listened seriously and waved his hand. Give me a minute.

He squatted down and adjusted the small speakers playlist.

Before long, he stood up, and music sounded.

Shang Jianyaos body began to sway with the rhythm, and his voice sounded through the microphone. Congratulations on becoming rich.

Congratulations on being wonderful.

The best ones, please come over.

The bad, please leave
