The Lord of Time and Space silently read it once, but he didn't quite understand Chen Mu's meaning; it felt a bit awkward.

"A quota is a quota. How can a time-space passage be related to a quota?" The Time-Space Sovereign was puzzled. He believed that others would also be confused when they first heard this.

Chen Mu smiled mysteriously, "Lord of Time and Space, this is something you don't understand."

High-class, do you even know what high-class is?

When you introduce it to others, saying that the Time-Space Base has a few spots sounds unremarkable.

When I said the time-space base has several time-space tunnels, it suddenly sounded much more sophisticated!

The Wangjiang City Time-Space Base has 30 time-space tunnels. Doesn't that sound incredibly impressive?

It has that inexplicable, yet impressive feel to it. Never mind if it's hard to pronounce, the key is that it's cool!

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Time and Space thought, "That does make sense!"

Chen Mu had a clear grasp of the Time-Space Sovereign's psychology. The fact that the Time-Space Sovereign liked to associate himself with "time and space" showed that he also had a great pursuit of being handsome and showing off.

The two were kindred spirits and hit it off immediately!

"Boss Chen, you're brilliant! You're truly the best." After realizing what Chen Mu had done, the Time-Space Sovereign immediately praised Chen Mu's ability to show off and his mastery of style.

"Mr. Chen, you have class!"

"Likewise, you have style too."

"No, no, no, how can my mere space compare to your elegance?" said the Lord of Time and Space.

Chen Mu realized that their polite exchanges sounded a bit odd.

Chen Mu immediately changed the subject, saying, "I happen to remember that there is a mathematics department at Wangjiang Shouwang University."

I put the math department in charge of developing the algorithm, and specifically assigned talented people to the task.

As for the name, let's call it—the Spacetime Research Institute. It sounds impressive, and the algorithms they use certainly account for a significant portion of the operational effectiveness of the spacetime base.

Chen Mu felt somewhat relieved as he said this.

At the beginning of the bizarre apocalypse, when Wangjiang City was established, Chen Mu faced a major decision regarding which type of survivors to take in.

After all, resources are limited. Should they all be reserved for urgently needed talent, or should some positions also be allocated to talent who are not currently in demand?

After weighing the options, Chen Mu chose the latter.

At least tens of thousands of slots were seemingly "wasted" by being given to talents who were not needed at the moment.

But facts will prove Chen Mu's foresight.

As Wangjiang Shouwang develops, the demand for various talents will increase.

It seems that people who develop algorithms are not very useful for dealing with strange phenomena.

But if they hadn't been protected back then, and were left to fend for themselves in that bizarre apocalypse, where would Chen Mu find them now that he needed them?

We can't possibly spend decades training a new generation of mathematicians.

At Wangjiang Shouwang University, there are still many students like them who are not needed for the time being, but Chen Mu still allocates funds to support them.

It's so that one day it might come in handy!

Even if you support ten people, only one might be needed in a critical moment. For Chen Mu, it's a sure-fire investment.

The Time and Space Master remarked that Boss Chen truly had a knack for naming things. Even a group of algorithm researchers were given such a prestigious name as the "Time and Space Research Institute."

“Boss Chen, I fully agree!” said the Time and Space Master.

"Then this matter will be entrusted to you. You will be the leader of the Time-Space Base!" Chen Mu waved his hand, assigning an official position to the Time-Space Sovereign as well.

The matter of the time-space base was thus settled.

After discussing the important matters, Chen Mu relaxed. Curious, he asked a question that had been bothering him.

“Lord of Time and Space, I heard from Xu Yueji that you repaired the spatial glitch in just half a day.”

Then last night, I even stayed up all night to finish writing this proposal.

Why are you doing this to yourself? The guards at Wangjiang are very lenient; they wouldn't exploit you like this.

These things can be done slowly; there's no need to rush them all at once.

Hearing Chen Mu's concerned tone, the Lord of Time and Space smiled and said:

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Chen. I've been sleeping for too long and have had enough rest."

I just woke up, and I'm bursting with energy. Working overtime is a piece of cake for me.

Just as Chen Mu guessed, that was indeed part of the reason.

"However, what truly worries me is something else entirely." The Lord of Time and Space abruptly changed the subject, lowering his voice and whispering:

"Mr. Chen, do you have a feeling that some kind of crisis is approaching Wangjiang Watchtower?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu immediately perked up.

Chen Mu now definitely has that feeling.

Firstly, he had collected all ten fragments of Hell. However, there had been no movement from the Supreme Being of the Deceptive Path.

Chen Mu didn't believe that the Supreme Being of the Deceptive Path had given up. Chen Mu had a feeling that the Supreme Being of the Deceptive Path was already restless and waiting for the right opportunity.

Moreover, this opportunity is certainly not far off. Otherwise, the Supreme Being of the Deceptive Path would not be able to resist.

So the question is, what kind of timing is this? For Wangjiang Shouwang, it's definitely not a good thing.

Secondly, there is the Lake of Fallen Gods. Compared to the previous "flood of the four directions," this time the Lake of Fallen Gods truly wants to awaken.

The Lake of Fallen Gods is in a hurry to awaken, which means something must be about to happen, and it wants to get involved in that event.

Thirdly, there was the Duke's daughter and that mysterious university. They seemed to be dealing with some unknown crisis.

What is that crisis, and is it about to be reflected in the Watchtower over the River?

Fourthly, there are the monstrous beasts in the black hole. According to reports from the military, these beasts are becoming increasingly powerful.

Not long ago, even the monsters started to learn formations.

All sorts of unusual signals were telling Chen Mu that something big was about to happen.

Compared to the obvious anomalies of the "Four Directions Flood," this crisis is much more insidious.

As a result, Chen Mu still cannot know the exact answer.

He could only have a premonition, but he didn't know the specifics of the crisis.

This feeling of unease is really unpleasant.

Now that the Lord of Time and Space is saying this, does it mean that he also sensed something?

As if he had found a kindred spirit, Chen Mu quickly asked, "Lord of Time and Space, what do you mean by that? Do you also feel that something is amiss?"

The Lord of Time and Space said, "Mr. Chen, you said 'also,' so it seems you've already noticed something. You're indeed quite perceptive."

To be honest, I did notice it. But what I noticed might be different from what you're thinking.

I perceived the anomaly from a spatial perspective.

After I arrived at Wangjiang Watch, I could vaguely sense that the eerie, post-apocalyptic space seemed to be somewhat uneasy and restless.

But I can't even be sure what it is.

As far as I know, spatial anomalies are a harbinger of some major crisis.

Moreover, a crisis capable of causing spatial anomalies is no ordinary crisis.
