Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 1344 Asking about the past and keeping the promise

Inside the villa, Chen Chuan was having dinner with his family. This time, he brought back a lot of high-quality ingredients from the Federation, many of which came from Kavatua and the Throat of the Protoss.

This includes premium golden wheat from underground sources, which makes for a soft, fragrant wheat porridge that is nutritious even for ordinary people.

In the past, this was something only the priests and kings of the early people could enjoy, and everyone felt a warm feeling in their stomachs when they ate it.

It wasn't that the temperature was rising, but rather that I felt completely comfortable, as if my internal organs had been gently warmed by a suitable temperature, and every pore seemed to be open, giving me an extraordinary sense of comfort from the inside out.

After arriving in the city center, Nianmo and Nianlu had eaten a lot of delicious food, but today the food tasted especially good, as if their bodies really needed it.

Nian Mo, who is usually most afraid of eating hot food, was now even scrambling to drink the bubbling soup, making her cheeks flushed and her forehead sweating.

Nian Lu's eating movements weren't as exaggerated as Nian Mo's, but she unknowingly ate a lot, especially the golden wheat rice. She couldn't help but have another bowl after the first, always feeling like she couldn't get enough.

After a few glances, Chen Chuan could clearly see that his two younger cousins ​​had developed some abnormal tissue inside their bodies. This was because they frequently ate the high-quality ingredients he brought back.

However, this is not enough to make them fighters. At most, these mutated organizations only make them live longer and have better physiques than ordinary people.

Because of their inherent lack of talent, these mutated tissues cannot grow on their own. Moreover, to maintain them, it is necessary to ensure a long-term high intake of nutrients, since the mutated tissues are essentially another set of organs growing out of the body.

In fact, according to reports submitted by the security department over the past two years, the proportion of newborns with abnormal tissues is gradually increasing, whether in central or peripheral cities.

One significant change this has brought about is that the number of places available for Wuyi Academy in various regions is increasing every year.

If talented individuals are not properly guided, the alienated organization will devour their original members. Subsequently, all aspects of society will be affected, meaning a new system will gradually develop and be established.

Below the skyline, both information exchange and resource allocation are far superior to the past single-center city model, meaning they can centrally select and cultivate more reserve talents.

Among them will be outstanding talents, and more elite fighters will emerge, which is the foundation for their future fight against the Great Crash.

Just as I was engrossed in eating, the phone rang. Most people don't know my home phone number, so it must be someone I know calling.

Chen Chuan got up, picked up the phone, said a few words to the other end, and finally said "okay" before hanging up.

Yu Wan asked, "Whose call was it?"

"Brilliant."

Chen Chuan said, "I originally wanted him to come over to my house for a visit and have a meal together, but he said he had some business to attend to and wouldn't be coming back for dinner. He said he would visit his aunt and uncle in a couple of days."

This is quite normal; Gao Ming won't disturb their family reunion.

Yu Wan asked, "Is Gao Ming going back to Yangzhi this time?"

He said he wouldn't reply.

Yu Wan sighed and said, "Gao Ming is really something. He hasn't been home for years. He finally came back from abroad. My cousin and her husband haven't been back for a long time either. The family doesn't feel like a family anymore."

Nian Fuli shook his head: "That's just how their family is."

Nian Mo looked up and asked expectantly, "Cousin, can we ask Chao Ming to take us to school?"

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "How about I take you there tomorrow?"

Chaoming is an overlimited being; if he leaves, he will definitely be monitored, and then his younger cousins ​​will also be under surveillance.

"Yeah."

Nian Mo and Nian Lu both raised their hands, their faces full of anticipation. Their cousin had never given them a gift before, and they also wanted to show their classmates that they had a very handsome and tall cousin.

Yu Wan remembered something, "Chan'er, the young lady from the Meng family also sent a lot of gifts over last year during the Spring Festival. They were all placed in the mailroom outside your study."

Chen Chuan said, "Okay, I understand."

As a company supported by the Jebu County government, Fusion Boundary Company is one that he is paying attention to, and Meng Shu, as the company's president, will also maintain this relationship with her old classmate.

Currently, Fusion Boundary is still expanding its business overseas, and Three City Wasteland is still acting as a security consultant there. Once Skyline Connect is completed, it means that the company will be able to expand its business to even more distant places.

After finishing the meal, Nian Fuli and his aunt took their younger cousins ​​out for a walk to digest their food.

Chen Chuan then called Cheng Zitong to say hello and let him know that he had returned to China.

After Cheng Zitong and Cheng Zhou reconciled, they stayed in the central city during the holiday, but now it's September, so they have returned to Yangzhi.

Cheng Zitong also told him that Wuyi School had recently enrolled one-third more new students than in previous years. The school had originally intended to invite him to attend an opening ceremony to inspire the younger students, but now that the time had passed, they had to give up on that idea.

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Teacher, then let's do it next year. The student council will come to the opening ceremony next year." "That depends on whether it's convenient for you, Chuan. I'm just passing on the message this time, so don't worry about it too much."

Chen Chuan smiled slightly, "Okay, teacher. Well, I brought back some local specialties from Yingzhou from the Federation and sent them to you."

"Okay, Xiao Chuan, let's stop here for now. The teacher has a meeting in a little while. Now that Yangzhi's skyline is connected, Xiao Chuan, you can use my boundary token communication number next time you want to contact me."

Chen Chuan said okay, chatted for a couple more minutes, and then hung up. However, he didn't hang up the receiver; instead, he made a call to Mo Tieshan.

Uncle Ding answered the phone again, so he asked the other party about Senior Cao's recent situation.

Uncle Ding said, "Director Chen's son has recently become obsessed with several ancient chess scores and refuses to see any outsiders. He even commissioned a sentient being to play chess with him, and he seems to be enjoying himself."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Young Master asked me to tell Director Chen that everything is fine here and there is nothing special he needs to be told."

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "I brought some gifts back from the Federation this time. I'll have them delivered to the manor later."

"Okay, I thank Director Chen on behalf of the young master."

Chen Chuan hung up the phone. It was a sensitive time, and it was indeed inappropriate for him to meet with this person. He himself had nothing to fear, but it could potentially implicate Cao Guixi.

In particular, the delegation from the former imperial family is currently in the capital. Given this person's status, he might be exploited by some scheming individuals within the former imperial family or the government.

Choosing to stay home and avoid visitors is actually the most correct choice for Senior Cao right now.

He thought for a moment, stood up, walked to the French windows, tapped the boundary token, and contacted the branch office.

A moment later, the call was connected, and Chang Dong's voice came through, greeting him repeatedly.

He asked about the branch's situation over the past year, and Chang Dong replied, "Minister, don't worry, the branch's development is on the right track. I've recruited a few promising talents, but they're not official members yet; we still need you to come back and review and sign them off."

"But there's no rush. Minister, you've only just returned. Take some rest and spend time with your family. If anything comes up, I'll report to you immediately."

Chen Chuan said, "Okay, I'll come to the branch office in a few days."

He was confident in Chang Dong's abilities. Moreover, he had previously checked and found that most of the forces of other factions, such as those specializing in refinement and fusion, had withdrawn from Jibei Road over the past year, leaving only a few outposts to barely prove their existence.

This is because the overall environment has been unfavorable to them in recent years. After the municipal council became almost ineffective, Qi Weizhao has purged many problematic officials in the past year.

The Secret Cult's Censorship Bureau and the Processing Bureau have been conducting intense scrutiny of large corporations and other sects' operations, making it difficult for these two sects' branches to regain their former glory, both politically and financially. This has allowed the Pure Sect's Jibei branch to develop unhindered.

After speaking with some old acquaintances and classmates, he went back to his room to watch some newly released immersive documentaries.

On his first day back home, he did nothing but relax.

After resting at home for one night, he packed up a few things early the next morning and prepared to go to Wuyi Academy.

Before returning, he received a telegram from Lu Fang informing him that Chen Xiaojin had successfully been admitted to Wuyi Academy this year.

He had left a message for Chen Xiaojin, saying that if he got into Wuyi before Chen returned, he would take him on as a student. Now it was time to fulfill that promise.

Before leaving, he removed the storage sheath from the implant and put it in his pocket. It was given to him by Tao Huiya's female assistant before he left.

The secret service hasn't contacted him yet, and he hasn't taken the initiative to contact them either, planning to hand it over to them when they come to him.

This time, he didn't take a chauffeur-driven car, but instead found an inconspicuous car in the garage and drove out the door.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of Wuyi Academy.

Chen Chuan came out and glanced at the Xuan Palace Building standing in front of him. He remembered that when he first came here, he could see Hong Fu standing on it, but now he would never see her again.

As if sensing his sentiments, the red handkerchief on the hilt of the sword fluttered slightly.

He smiled and walked into the building.

Because he concealed his existence with his mind, no one except Hong Fu could see him along the way. Hong Fu only checked his identity and did not make any sound during the journey.

Using the boundary token, he quickly found the training room where Chen Xiaojin was currently located. According to the information displayed, since joining Wuyi, the latter has not yet sought out any instructors.

He took the elevator all the way to the training room on the 70th floor. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he heard the dense sound of legs hitting the target.
