Protagonist:

Chen Yi

Dragon Skeleton Equipment worth 2,100 tons of gold, enveloped in dense water vapor, slowly disappeared before Chen Yi's eyes.

On the glass of the Second Carriage, the percentage figure completed a full circle, then restarted from 1%. Simultaneously, a 3 was marked behind the Gene Completion level.

Level 3 Gene Completion ultimately reached 48%, the increase exceeding expectations. However, considering such enormous expenditure, it was hardly surprising.

Rear Area the flickering figures, the Light Curtain expanded, its radius jumping two consecutive levels by 400 kilometers to reach 1,600 kilometers — equivalent to the activity range of Earthlings traveling to the West Continent expanding to 8 million square kilometers, nearly the size of a China.

Amid his delight, Chen Yi also felt slightly nervous. The natives of the West Continent had never proven themselves to be good people; if the West River City-State's organizational strength collapsed, the majority of China centered on Jiangning would face a considerable threat.

"No point thinking about that." Chen Yi shook his head; the Saint Qiao Kingdom was already within arm's reach.

"Master!" Mage Timothy was forever that obedient; to him, the former Chen Yi and the current Chen Yi were both like legendary figures from ten thousand years ago, with no essential difference.

"Greetings, Holy Knights." Chen Yi also greeted Grendel and the others, routinely releasing several tens of containers of paper, silk, parchment, medicinal herbs, perfume, and the like.

The numbers on the Light Curtain climbed rapidly, long since surpassing the 1 billion Gold Coin mark. Needless to say, unless the Saint Qiao Kingdom sold the pot and iron, or sold off territory and other real estate, they would certainly be unable to repay so much money.

Too much debt is no worry; moreover, Chen Yi no longer urgently needed banknotes. On the contrary, he deliberately supported the Saint Qiao Kingdom, hoping to obtain more Scrolls and potions.

If possible, he wished to make them a regular supply. Anyone possessing low-level Scrolls or potions could improve efficiency by two or three tiers; used well, their value would be enormous. The Clone Laboratory currently reaping high profits had made no small use of Intelligence Scrolls and Energy Recovery Potions.

This was also why Chen Yi supplied large quantities of Level 3 and Level 4 Scroll paper; he drove the production cost of Level 3 and 4 Scrolls to the minimum, so that even Mage Apprentice students could practice with Level 3 or 4 Scrolls, often at a cost lower than Level 2 Scrolls.

"Master, there is a piece of good news I wish to tell you." After the tally finished, Mage Timothy said with a smile: "Our grand army has just broken through the Western Front; the Enemy Army's East Line Allied Forces are also begging for negotiations. The war is about to end — and it will end with the Saint Qiao Kingdom achieving total victory."

"You seem to still have a Northern Front, though?"

"The Wild Army Corps' territory is barren; once the two fronts are won, they will certainly retreat."

"Congratulations."

"It is all thanks to Master's help that we obtained this unimaginable victory." Timothy answered sincerely. Just the Level 9 and above Scroll paper Chen Yi provided him numbered who knows how many, meaning their strategic Magic rose to Level 11, and tactical Magic to Level 8 or 9 — a full two tiers higher than the opposition, equivalent to a battleship fighting a cruiser; victory in every battle was no surprise.

Chen Yi laughed faintly twice, then asked: "I recall the other end of your Continent is a vast ocean; has anyone ever reached the other side?"

Timothy hesitated a moment, then replied: "There were once Mages who went to sea to explore, but most never returned; therefore, the Continent's organizations have forbidden Mages from going to sea these years."

Without Mages, there is no powerful survival capability, and the success rate of exploration is even lower.

Unlike Earth, where only two or three species of sea animals can threaten ships. The Saint Qiao Kingdom's oceans teem with fierce monsters that even Mages cannot defeat; if those monsters like playing with wooden ships, the ships are bound to be smashed to splinters for their amusement.

Chen Yi nodded lightly, his thoughts unreadable.

Timothy nervously analyzed the reasons, then said: "Master, now that the war is about to end, perhaps we should relax the exploration ban?"

"Better not to get people killed." Chen Yi smiled. What he needed most was still the supplies provided by the Mages; what lay across the sea was merely a curious thought.

Timothy bowed in agreement, his mind also calculating. In his eyes, Master would not ask meaningless stupid questions; he surely had a meaningful intent.

Could it be that across the ocean there are important large islands producing precious Magic items? Everyone speculated wildly, but few considered whether an even larger Continent might appear.

"Geocentrism" or "Motherland-centrism" is the true reflection of the human inner world; no one is willing to be a marginalized member, whether as a collective, a Planet, or the Universe — all are the same.

Bidding farewell to the people of the Saint Qiao Kingdom, Chen Yi entered the Second Carriage again; while inspecting the supplies, he returned to Earth.

Not traveling back and forth according to strict time points, he startled the Channel officials on the Earth side into all sorts of speculation; representatives of many Families rushed up.

"Something happened?" Someone asked anxiously, opening with that very question.

Chen Yi glanced at him, waved to open the Car Door, ordered the unloading, and completely ignored the bystanders.

This naturally would not do.

Descendants, relatives, and elite figures of so many Families were on the West Continent; if something happened, it would affect tens of millions of people.

Therefore, even the most timid person hoped to stop Chen Yi and force him to reveal the situation. Fortunately, Jin Douna perceived everyone's confusion, descended from the Tower, gently questioned Chen Yi, then took the stage herself and announced: "Everything is normal on the West Continent; no unusual events have occurred. Mr. Chen Yi merely returned to Earth early due to personal needs."

The audience fell silent for an instant, then erupted in chaos: "How can you not follow the schedule? This will complicate our business."

"Right, suddenly returning like this means many places have to start over."

"Isn't there a Channel Committee managing this?"

Chen Yi gave them a disdainful look, exited, and got in the car. He wasn't being entirely willful; rather, he was asserting his personal privilege through the privilege of youth.

Control of the Magic Subway has been in Chen Yi's hands from beginning to end.

Due to various considerations, the Channel Committee had always tried to dilute this impression in people's minds. When the West Continent was just starting construction, this was indeed the proper work; but after the West Continent gradually developed, when Chen Yi needed to declare his rights, this impression could no longer continue to be diluted.

Whatever pretext he uses, people will forget as fast as possible; but they will certainly remember who controls the Magic Subway.

Such thoughts can only be acted upon, not spoken.

Chen Yi believed the puzzled gentlemen would also understand as quickly as possible.

Driving to Jiangning University, Lu Fan was already waiting at the gate.

"Got the bones?" Dragon Skeleton had increased Gene Completion so much that Chen Yi naturally thought of lizards and other reptiles.

Also, although he had previously tried nearly a hundred types of Dinosaur Fossils, the varieties were ultimately incomplete. After his strength greatly increased, his first move was to commission Lu Fan to find more fossils and animal bones. Dragon Skeleton raised the Gene Completion tier, and his interest was instantly piqued.

Lu Fan was adept at finding "corpses," especially when buying with money; he nodded repeatedly: "The warehouses are packed full."

"Load them up, take them away."

"You're not going to take a look?"

"No need, just no duplicates." Chen Yi had zero appetite for the bones themselves.

Lu Fan's doctoral dissertation was on animal bones; able to spend large sums collecting many rare species, he naturally organized them meticulously — categories and indexes filled a filing cabinet in detail, let alone the bone classification and identification.

Pity Chen Yi didn't understand any of it; he simply ordered the two Divine Art Knights at home to act as porters, and in a moment the entire warehouse became empty.

Lu Fan's eyes were misty, clutching another sponsorship check, caught between laughter and tears for a long while; finally he looked down at the figure on the check, instantly jumped up, and muttered foolishly: "Selling a kidney works too, selling a kidney works too."

A total of over 4,600 species of plant and animal fossils, plus over 1,200 species of plant and animal specimens, were all stuffed by Chen Yi into the Magic Subway.

At 22:30 in the evening, no matter how much resentment the Channel Committee and merchants harbored, the Subway Gate closed again, vanishing from people's sight as if it were Chen Yi's exclusive property.

"Start eating." Chen Yi found the "Automatic Eater" on the door of the Second Carriage, stuffing specimens and fossils of all sizes into it one by one.

The glass window on the Subway Door lit up.

"Level 3 Gene Completion 48%... 48%... 48%..."

Eventually, the Gene Completion stopped jumping again.

Chen Yi fell into deep thought.

It seemed that the so-called Level 3 Gene Completion was meaningful. Perhaps Earth's genes could no longer meet its requirements?

The Subway's travel time was short like a rabbit making love.

However, as long as Chen Yi did not walk out from inside, the people outside would never be able to get in.

He thought about many things, spending about two or three hours. Not only about Gene Completion, but also about the newly expanded Light Curtain.

A radius of 1600 kilometers meant that the Greek-style colonial structure was about to end, and the era of the New Continent had formally arrived; whatever he wanted to do, whatever he could do, all had to be considered carefully.

Chen Yi disliked the saying of the same starting point. Humans were never standing on the same starting point; ultimately someone would stand in front, and ultimately someone would stand behind. If he did not think clearly, he would become the person behind the starting point.

He racked his brains thinking inside, while the people outside were almost dying of anxiety.

Did the Subway malfunction?

Did Chen Yi change his mind?

Did Earth have a coup?

Countless thoughts spun in the elites' minds, and those who thought of brain disabilities were not few.

On the contrary, the Martial Arts Hall Students worked normally, making various preparations to welcome the Subway, without being affected in the slightest; they were elders of the West Continent, having once seen all sorts of inaccurate Subway arrival methods, just like Brazilians looking upon China's flight delays—utterly childish.

Don't know how long they waited.

Door Open.

Everyone suddenly "whooshed" in unison, then laughed together.

A relaxed and emotional laugh.

A staff member wearing a tie in the hot weather squeezed out of the crowd, and before Chen Yi left, shouted: "Mr. Chen, the Channel Committee requires that after you return, you go see them."
