"Welcome, everyone, to the 'Spirit Realm'."

Karen appeared before a group of TPC executives and explained, "Although everything here is made of data, the senses are absolutely realistic, indistinguishable from reality. You can feel heat, you can feel cold, you will feel suffocation when you enter the water, and you will feel pain when you are burned by fire. Of course, you can also feel hunger and taste delicious food."

As she spoke, Karen snapped her fingers, and a long, rectangular dining table suddenly fell from the sky, landing in front of everyone and startling them.

On this dining table, plates of delicious dishes from all over the world appeared out of thin air, their aromas irresistible.

"I can actually smell the fragrance, that's amazing." Sawai exclaimed, taking a deep breath of the scent in the air.

"These foods taste exactly like the ones in real life." Megumi picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of salmon sushi, put it in her mouth, chewed it carefully, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Isn't this just deceiving your senses? It's fine to taste it occasionally, but if you want to fill your stomach, you still have to go back to the real world," Yoshioka said, shaking his head.

“As long as the ‘outer’ body is soaking in the nutrient solution and absorbing nutrients, what difference does it make between reality and illusion?” Karen smiled.

With a virtual reality headset, there is naturally a life support pod. As long as you are immersed in nutrient solution, you will not lack the nutrients your body needs.

What is the difference between living in a "spiritual realm" and living in the real world?

What's wrong with the virtual world?

“‘Spirit Realm’ is currently in its initial stage, and very few people can enter it now. However, as long as it can be promoted and expanded, ‘Spirit Realm’ will become a second world for humanity, and many people will even choose to truly live in ‘Spirit Realm’,” Karen said.

“Alright, we’ve experienced everything we were supposed to. It’s time to send us back,” Zejing said.

“No need. The ‘Spirit Realm’ can project the people and things here into the real world.” Karen shook her head, then snapped her fingers. The streets of the metropolis disappeared as data, and everyone returned to the TPC conference room.

Their bodies were still lying on the chairs in the conference room, but their consciousness was standing in the conference room—it was a very strange feeling.

"Please be seated, everyone. Let's continue our meeting," Shen Yun said with a smile, looking at the lifelike projection in front of him.

"Next, we will discuss the construction and site selection of TPC's new base."

"These are the design drawings for the new base." Shen Yun brought up a virtual projection, and a series of design drawings were displayed in front of everyone.

The design plans for the new base are divided into two parts: a ground base and an air base.

Moreover, the ground base and the air base can be combined to form a land-based aircraft carrier.

Of course, the two bases can also be separated, becoming separate land-based mobile warships and air-based mobile fortresses.

Furthermore, these two bases can even combine and transform into a giant robot over 100 meters tall.

"What a brilliant design!" Looking at the design drawings of the new base shown by Shen Yun, Yoshioka's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Director, please entrust the task of building the base to me."

"Advisor Yoshioka, do we not need to consider your feelings this time?" Shen Yun joked, seeing Yoshioka's excited expression.

"Stop teasing me, just give me a straight answer," Yoshioka said with a laugh.

"I'll leave the new base to Advisor Yoshioka," Shen Yun said readily.

"Don't worry about it," Yoshioka said with a smile. "I have a lot of experience in building bases."

"I trust Advisor Yoshioka."

"Director, TPC is a peace organization established with the aim of maintaining peace. I hope you won't forget that." Sawai said earnestly, looking at the design drawings of the new base covered with naval cannons.

"Advisor Sawai, please rest assured, I will not allow TPC to deviate from its mission of maintaining peace," Shen Yun assured him.

"That's good." Ze Jing smiled. His role as a TPC consultant was to supervise and remind TPC to avoid going astray.

Within the TPC, the voices of the hawks are growing louder, while the voices of the doves are gradually weakening.

TPC is not a one-man show by the director. If the hawks have too much influence, even the director cannot ignore their voices.

"Regarding the location of the new base..."

The TPC executives discussed the location of the new base in detail and finally decided on the area around Mount Yatsugatake.

After Shen Yun made his first move in office, he stopped speaking. Instead, the heads of various departments of TPC began to speak one after another, making their own demands on Shen Yun.

When faced with plans and proposals from various departments, Shen Yun gave them his approval on the spot after careful consideration.

Those that should be approved should be approved, and those that should be rejected should be rejected.

"Chief, I hope to organize a team from the police department to conduct an in-depth investigation of the ancient ruins of R'lyeh in the South Pacific," Staff Officer Nagumo suggested.

"Rejected. As the resting place of the evil god Gatanothor, none of us know what dangers lurk within R'lyeh. If we were to explore it rashly, it could cause irreparable damage," Shen Yun refused without hesitation.

He knew that the ruins of R'lyeh contained three dark giant statues and countless miniature Zorgah.

If it weren't for the awakening of the ancient bloodline within Megumi Kijima, which sealed the Dark Giant and the miniature Zoga inside R'lyeh, he dared not even imagine how many civilian casualties those miniature Zoga could have caused.

"Director..." Staff Officer Nan Yun wanted to say something more, but Shen Yun raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Alright, Staff Officer Nan Yun, there's no need for further words. I will not agree. Not only is exploration prohibited, but we must also set up a cordon and completely seal off this ruin, forbidding anyone from entering," Shen Yun said sternly.

Shen Yun's proposal was approved by most of TPC's senior management.

Faced with this, Staff Officer Nagumo could only sit down again with a look of reluctance.

Although the voices of the hawks are growing louder, the TPC is still dominated by doves.

"Director, regarding the space development project..."

"The project has been approved and is expected to achieve Mars colonization experiments and terraforming of Mars within the next two years," Shen Yun said.

"The monster Guwamu left behind by the Desis aliens has the ability to alter the atmosphere. With some modifications, Guwamu can be used by the TPC to modify the Martian atmosphere and make Mars more habitable for humans."

After discussing plans for future space exploration, Shen Yun announced the end of the meeting.

After the meeting, all the TPC executives voluntarily left the "spiritual realm" and woke up from their chairs.

Although they had been in the "Spirit Realm" for half a day, they did not feel tired at all. On the contrary, they were full of energy, just like after a nap, which amazed everyone.

With this virtual reality headset, even sleeping time can be utilized. (End of Chapter)
