Everyone was sitting on the edge of their seats, swallowing impatiently with anticipation as the delicious smell appeared.

The minions of Bei Feng's Guards also started to bring out the dishes one by one. Each plate was still emitting whitish steam and smelled extremely intoxicating. A large bowl of Variant Giant Salamander soup littered with numerous jade green chopped green onions was brought to each table.

"No wonder this black-hearted boss can have so many people queuing up for his food despite the strange rules and the remote location. The food really smells too good!"

Some of the guests sighed repeatedly as they inhaled the fragrance into their nostrils.

Actually, this was a rather normal thing. As long as the restaurant was well-publicized and the food was good enough, there will always be guests who will travel to eat it.

A good example of this is the specialty restaurant in Chengdu, selling farmed roast ducks. The restaurant was located deep in a mountain, and each duck costs 268 yuan! But despite the remoteness of the place, it enjoys a booming business every single day. Supercars like Ferrari and Lamborghini were not a rare sight there.

Of course, although the restaurant was also located in the mountains, there was at least a proper road leading to it, allowing the customers to drive all the way to the restaurant. That was very unlike Bei Feng's old mansion, where the customers still had to trek for over 20 minutes on a mountainous path.

"Great! This trip was not made in vain!"

An exaggerated cry sounded out as the first person brought a spoonful of soup to his mouth.

By the time the cry sounded out, no one else had the mind to pay any attention to it. Everyone was already immersed in the taste of their own food. From time to time, a few shocked gasps could be heard from the crowd.

The sun blazed mercilessly as it hung high up in the cloudless sky, causing the land to become slightly distorted with its hazy heat waves. Even the green leaves on the trees appeared a little droopy as they endured the scorching blaze. The guests were sweating furiously as they swallowed the steaming soup crazily.

Other than the people who had managed to get slightly better seats in a shade, everyone else looked like a dog pulled out of the water by the time they were finished with the meal. Their backs were all soaked through with sweat, and each one appeared more wretched than the other.

The moment they were done with the food, none of the guests was willing to continue sitting around. The only wish they had right now was to return to the blissful shelter of their car and turn the A/C to the maximum! Within half an hour, most of the customers had already disappeared.

The group of bad youths immediately broke into two different groups and started working on their own tasks. One group was in charge of cleaning the plates and preparing their own lunch; the other was in charge of cleaning up the messy yard.

After everything, Bei Feng led the gangster minions to clean up the scene and stack the tables and chairs neatly in the storage area. Then, after ensuring that all the rubbish in the yard was cleaned up, he finally released everyone.

"There's still about half of the Variant Giant Salamander left... ai, forget it! I'll just leave it as rations for Insatiable, Black Hole, and the little fox!"

Bei Feng stood within a spacious room which he had specially cleared out to contain the Variant Giant Salamander and the huge fish head.

The fish head looked extremely savage. Although a third of it's head was dented, it was still enough to cause great fear in other's heart!

Other than not possessing a horn or something of the like, this fish head looked quite similar to that of dragons in fairy tales!

In order to bring the fish head into the room, Bei Feng had to tear down a part of the door frame.

Bei Feng had to freeze the room and the basement with Extreme Arctic Frost about three times a day just to keep all the meat fresh!

"I wonder if the White River Rice has started growing yet?" Bei Feng wondered aloud as he walked towards the flower bed.

But other than the traces of claw marks, the seed could not be found at all.

The little fox on Bei Feng's shoulder turned its furry head away guiltily with a tiny meeping sound.

"... Tell me, where did you hide the seed?"

Sensing the guilty actions of the little fox, Bei Feng asked with some exasperation.

"Meep!"

The little fox had already covered its eyes with its paws and was peeping at Bei Feng through the gaps in its claws. Seeing the darkening expression on Bei Feng's face, it finally let out an anxious meep and jumped off his shoulders. Then, it pointed in a certain direction as though it was trying to make Bei Feng follow him.

Bei Feng followed the little fellow into the woods. After about ten minutes, he arrived before a cliff face.

"Meep!"

The little fox was pointing at a thin tree about 10 cm tall and as thick as a pair of chopsticks.

Bei Feng widened his eyes slightly with surprise. The White River Rice can grow so quickly?

Numerous skinny roots about the thickness of a regular branch had dug its way into the stony cliff. Although the tree was not tall, it was green and luxuriant with life!

Bei Feng scratched the little fox behind the ears and asked kindly, "Does this White River Rice only grow on the cliff?"

"Meep!"

The little fox nodded its head in a human-like manner. It had a very smug expression on it's face, as though it was saying 'hurry up and praise me!' Its expressions were extremely rich, allowing others to easily understand its intentions. It only lacked the ability to speak to complete the package!

Bei Feng looked at the flourishing plant in interest as he hatched an idea in his mind. If the innards of the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King were used to fertilize the plant, would it be able to accelerate its growth?

Unable to bear the temptation, he quickly returned back to the old mansion and pulled a large vat into the open space. Then, he directly flung away the lid and peeked inside. Surprisingly, the expected smell of rot did not appear. Even the innards within the vat did not seem to have any signs of decomposition!

Bei Feng grabbed a small basin and using a sharp knife, he cut off a few jin of innards, placed it in the basin, and returned back to the cliff.

The little fox took one look at the innards in the basin and immediately sneered coldly as a human-like expression of disdain appeared on its face. It hopped onto Bei Feng's shoulder and turned its beady eyes on the White River Rice plant.

Bei Feng smashed the innards into fine minced meat and poured it into the cracks on the cliff. The cracks were all leading to the roots of the plant.

'Perhaps the results won't appear immediately. I'll come back and take a look again tomorrow.'

Bei Feng waited excitedly beside the White River Rice for some time before seeing that nothing spectacular was going to happen.

Back in the old mansion again, Bei Feng put away the basin and summoned the White Jade Fishing Rod as he walked to the well. It was time for another fishing attempt.

'It'll be great if I can get a storage ring or something like that this time...'

Bei Feng grinned excitedly. He had never wished for a storage equipment as much as this time.

Forcefully calming his mind down, Bei Feng entered a quiet state and tranquilly cast the line into the well. The hook was completely void and free of bait.

Somewhere in the Myriad Planes, a gargantuan planet the likes of which had never been seen before rotated gently as it floated lazily about the vast, empty space. The size and mass of this planet was at least a hundred times greater than planet Earth!

An endless stream of enormous space warships landed and took off from a massive space station which orbited the planet. At every moment, countless private and commercial shuttles of all shapes and sizes could be seen zipping across the vacuum at incredible speeds. From time to time, giant mecha suits would also appear, causing one to gasp with shock!

On the surface of the planet was a sea of towering skyscrapers, each one capable of piercing through the clouds. They lined the earth, spreading out as far as the eye could see!

Every single building could easily house tens or even hundreds of thousands of people. One could easily imagine the immensity of the buildings!

The cities were all exceptionally clean and the air was fresh. Not even a trace of haze from air pollution could be found. Instead, the skies were filled with an uncountable number of suspended vehicles, traveling along the numerous structured air paths. Their speeds were absolutely shocking; it was so fast that a regular human would not be able to react to it at all!

The ground was patrolled by a great number of police robots. These robots had all been programmed with a certain level of human-like A.I. so that the security of the streets could be maintained perfectly. The greatest merit of these robots was their powerful battle strength!

Because of how advanced technology was, the people were all released from menial and unnecessary work. Everyone was also able to enjoy a better quality of life. This city was the capital metropolis of Zhendan Empire on Jet Blue planet. The citizens of the city were basically all extremely wealthy. Even the 'poorest' man in the city had a fair amount of assets.

Every family would have at least one or two robots to perform all the miscellaneous tasks. Those who were slightly poorer would still have a robot servant to serve them. The wealthier families would definitely have a robot butler to take charge of the household matters. Such a thing was deemed as an absolute necessity!

This was a mighty empire which had already stepped out of their own solar system and was exploring and advancing through the universe! Its technological achievements were infinite years ahead of planet Earth. This was an incredibly advanced and proud empire!
