Protagonist:

Chen Yi

The third inspection begins in two weeks.

The "mobile quotas" accompanying each family increased tenfold, totaling over 1,500 people, all elite figures from different industries. No one knows when the families noticed them; they lay quietly hidden in the mix, and now that they are needed, they have been rummaged out.

If Chen Yi had to find them himself, getting even one percent suitable candidates would be not bad.

The "Channel Committee" discussing "Channel" transport ratios was established at the fastest speed, encompassing over fifty people from various families, nearly sweeping up all of the Chen Clan's heavyweight ministers in one net.

Chen Yi also didn't say that only he could operate the Magic Subway; he merely had the Divine Art Knights, the Wuguan Inspection Team, and the Security Teams formed by different families keep strict guard. Anyone who truly wanted to do some thieving, after racking their brains, would discover they couldn't take the "Channel" away, and would surely be frantic enough to scratch their heads raw.

The day after the Channel Committee was established, the heavyweight ministers reported back to Chen Yi. Each family agreed to donate 30% of their mobile quotas' working hours for allocation by the Diamond Office Hall. Calculated on an 8-hour work system, 1,500 people equate to 3,600 hours of work time, while the quantity of "mobile quotas" is surging rapidly.

Most importantly, what they donated was working time calculated by proportion, while who would complete these working hours was decided by Chen Yi.

In other words, if everyone sent 8 ordinary workers and 1 technical worker to the West Continent, Chen Yi could completely require the technical worker to work for him, while the ordinary workers labored as usual.

In terms of production allocation, this is pretty much the greatest authority.

The fourth and fifth inspections proceeded at the fastest speed.

Not only did the inspection group's numbers grow ever larger, but its scope also grew ever wider. By the time the month was nearly over, six inspection groups had already encompassed all Chen Clan officials, merchants, and professionals, and rumors about the new world spread ever wider.

Chen Zhongguo did not deny the bigwigs' indirect inquiries in public settings, but once the topic of "opening up" came up, he would look left and right and speak of other things.

Those who hadn't been to the West Continent didn't dare be 100% certain this wasn't some massive conspiracy — investors in the Ponzi scheme had also sworn they made money — on the other hand, turning a deaf ear to West Continent news coming from different channels was also not a good solution.

Before Chen Yi formally announces the opening, this kind of entanglement will presumably continue.

However, the gentlemen who already knew the West Continent information would not wait for the time of public release.

July is the rainy season on the West Continent.

Torrential floods filled the West River; the riverbank retreated 3 kilometers back. From atop West River City's walls, one could see the turbid river water below. Previously dilapidated houses far from the shore had become waterfront mansions by the river, prompting countless "Jiangning people" to demand housing swaps.

Family Knights from the Yin Sen Family and Ma La, propping small boats and wearing bright yellow vests, served as riverbank rescue personnel in the river.

This is work only they can do; other Body Technique Students who haven't reached Combat Skill Level, no matter how good their equipment, can barely survive in a river over ten kilometers wide, let alone save people.

The wind pushed waves across the empty river surface.

A tall river wave approached the land diagonally, surging up the embankment-less riverbank and stopping beside the damp, towering rainforest. The following small waves slapped up section by section, beginning to decelerate at places closer to land. The front wave tried to halt, but the rear waves pushed up, energy accumulating section by section, until a certain limit formed a ten-meter back-curling monstrous wave that pounced on the boat-propping knights with the speed of thunder leaving no time to cover one's ears.

The Jiangning people watching the excitement on the city walls cried out in unison, only to see a yellow light rise up, and the river wave went "Pa!" as it slapped onto the iron boat.

Three to five seconds later, the spray vanished without a trace, revealing the Combat Knight standing upside-down on the boat bottom.

The latter alertly looked to both sides, concentrating on the underwater movements on one hand, and on the other leaping up to flip the boat over, then standing firmly steady.

Bursts of cheers came from the city walls, as if they had witnessed some spectacular football performance.

The knight hadn't even had time to wave when the pole suddenly stabbed into the water, and when he lifted it up, there was actually a person on the tip.

"Saved another one." Ma La's High Priest Iyal laughed heartily as he complimented Chen Yi, saying: "Your Excellency's 'humanitarian' spirit has increased once again!"

Beside him, Jin Douna couldn't help but snicker.

To prevent someone from Earth from drowning to death in the rainy season, Chen Yi gathered over a hundred Combat Skill Level knights scattered across the river surface, over ten kilometers long and over ten kilometers wide, to salvage and rescue drowning lives, giving it the fine name: humanitarianism.

The natives had no concept of saving a life, so they speculated Chen Yi's faith was "humanitarianism." Thus, whenever the Combat Knights rescued a person, they would turn around and compliment Chen Yi.

Chen Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this, so he decisively turned around and said: "High Priest needn't mention faith every time; your temple's few Single Divine Art Knights have already been trained, and can be returned very soon."

"I'm not anxious about that." Iyal couldn't even conceal it properly.

Chen Yi organized another food event, but didn't immediately hand the Divine Art Knights over to the two temples; such good labor, if he didn't make good use of them for a while, he'd feel uneasy. Bishop Iyal learned from the transport section of Yun Village that the Divine Art Knights were doing crude manual labor, and his heart ached terribly; disregarding the threat of heavy rain, he came trotting to West River City just to have Chen Yi return the knights to him.

Of course, he thought this in his heart, but his mouth didn't dare urge it. He just said with a smile: "I am thanking Your Excellency for providing us with high-grade food; the generals on the battlefield welcome this kind of food very much. Oh, I brought a deposit."

Iyal handed over a gift list, on which was directly written "500 tons of gold."

Whether characters or units, he used Chinese for all of it.

There are still quite a few clever natives on the West Continent.

Chen Yi's eyes brightened slightly; his so-called high-grade food was nothing but some canned goods, luncheon meat, instant noodles, and dried noodles. High-end products like self-heating rice didn't exist at all. Exchanging these things for tons of gold, anyone who saw it would feel unbearable in their heart.

"Alright, then I'll provide you another 100,000 tons, roughly one month's time, any special requests?"

"The front line hopes to get more vegetables and fruits, especially large iron cans of tropical mixed fruits; they like those best." Iyal spoke and hurriedly added: "The remaining 500 tons of gold, we will raise within one month."

Because of West River City-State's demand, the gold prices at several nearby temples are all rising; even so, 100,000 tons of canned goods can exchange for 1,000 tons of gold, equal to 100 tons of canned goods for 1 ton of gold.

If calculated by Earth's prices, the most ordinary cheap canned goods, per ton selling price actually reaches 2.5 million, enough to buy a small county-level factory.

Compared to mining and rubber tapping businesses, Chen Yi's currently monopolized inter-temple trade profits are ten times the former.

Of course, mining and rubber tapping are stable industries that can continuously expand; handing them to the Chen Clan's interior is equivalent to attracting investment in disguise.

Chen Yi pondered slightly, nodded, indicating agreement to Iyal's request.

Afterward, he seemingly unintentionally said: "I want to establish a Shuangtong Bank in the West River City-State; besides issuing currency priced in gold, I also plan to conduct deposit and loan business; your money this time, just send it directly to the bank."

"Bank?"

"Let Li Feng explain it to you." Chen Yi couldn't be bothered to say that long a string.

Gold currency is gold-standard currency, and moreover allows fixed exchange for a certain quantity of gold at face value; this is a very suitable currency method and policy for early promotion, and also conforms to West Continent people's living habits.

Simultaneously, allowing consumption of Gold Bonds on the West Continent also helps the Chen Clan's interior use them.

Iyal went eagerly to listen to the lecture; Liu Xinyu took the opportunity to wink at Chen Yi, swaying as she slipped down the city wall.

"You all continue discussing." Classmate Chen immediately abandoned the Chen Clan officials he was talking with.

Liu Xinyu ran down the city wall, burrowed into an old fortification. Due to increased personnel, many original defense facilities had expanded outward, leaving some fortifications unfilled in time, so they were just left alone.

Chen Yi lowered his head, drumming his Shenjia, and floated into the fortification.

Before his eyes, a darkness, a brightness.

A beautiful, unbelievable fortification appeared before his eyes.

Exquisitely woven handmade tapestries and the wooden floor beneath his feet, at first glance it looked like a luxurious living room. The bricks and tiles overhead had long been covered under plaster and wooden boards. A comfortable large bed was placed in the center of the fortification, facing the TV and projector...

Liu Xinyu stood opposite the large bed, smiling charmingly: "Never done it in a military base, right?"

"This doesn't count as military..." Chen Yi had only spoken half a sentence when his mouth was blocked.

On his chest.

Soft pressure.

Lips.

Soft pressure.

In front of his legs.

Soft yet firm pressure.

With difficulty, Chen Yi broke free, smiling: "This is my first time being dragged out of a meeting to do it."

"I like watching you play others around in circles, while they're still grateful to tears." Liu Xinyu panted, her movements intense beyond Chen Yi's imagination.

Chen Yi enjoyed it at ease for two minutes, then suddenly turned the tables and flung out the Phantom Wand, smiling: "What you actually like most is the feeling of control, right? Otherwise you wouldn't have joined the Development Research Society."

As he spoke, he inserted a piece of orange crystal stone into the Phantom Wand.

"Phantom Clone!"

Chanting silently while waving the wand, an avatar completely identical to Chen Yi, sharing energy and sensory information, appeared in the fortification.

Liu Xinyu was startled, her whole body tensing up, her chest seeming as if it would burst from squeezing.

She had seen Chen Yi use the Phantom Wand before, but on this occasion, it was absolutely the first time.

"That piece of orange stone, is its energy, right?" Even in this situation, Liu Xinyu still smiled radiantly.

Chen Yi smiled proudly: "Orange Crystal, can be used for 30 minutes."

"30 minutes, so short." Liu Xinyu smiled even more proudly.
