The Beginning of the World: Going to the Countryside as an Educated Youth

Zhao Dongchuan turned the invitation in his hand and said, "Received..."

"That's right. It's the end of the year now. Dong's Enterprise holds a thank-you dinner every year..."

"Brother Zhao saved our Dong family's life... Although this matter cannot be made public, we know it in our hearts..."

Dong Jianguo spoke slowly with some sincerity in his tone.

"No need to do that. You paid me and did my job honestly... We don't owe each other anything..."

Zhao Dongchuan laughed and said softly.

"How can that be? The money can't offset this kindness. We should visit each other more often in the future... Brother Zhao, please give our Dong family a chance to express our gratitude..."

"Haha, President Dong, you are really amazing!"

Zhao Dongchuan naturally understood what Dong Jianguo meant. He simply knew some of his abilities and wanted to make friends with him.

There are many capable people in this world, but he is probably the only one Dong Jianguo has seen with his own eyes... Naturally, he wants to maintain this relationship, because who knows if he will encounter such a thing again in the future.

If some of his competitors use illegal means to target him, he would be in trouble.

By making friends with Zhao Dongchuan, they feel more at ease.

The two of them argued on the phone for a while, and Zhao Dongchuan finally agreed to go over and take a look when he had time...

"Okay, then I'll wait for Brother Zhao to come..."

Dong Jianguo smiled heartily and hung up the phone...

Zhao Dongchuan looked at the invitation in his hand and shook his head. After all, he was too shy to stand other people's compliments. He agreed just because they said a few nice words.

"Forget it, I'll just go there to broaden my horizons... To be honest, I've never been to a place like this before... I wonder what the buffet tastes like..."

Zhao Dongchuan muttered a few words and continued watching the drama.

……

One afternoon in December, Zhao Dongchuan was driving his new energy vehicle on the elevated road, with exciting music playing in the car.

As the car drove into Central, the sky suddenly darkened and gradually became overcast.

Zhao Dongchuan looked at the dark clouds outside the window and sensed a strange smell.

As the car got closer to the city center, the strange feeling became stronger.

"Fuck, what's going on..."

Zhao Dongchuan muttered to himself.

The dark clouds in the sky actually gave him a sense of oppression...

When he was driving past the Bund and waiting for the traffic light, a dull thunder was heard.

Just as he was looking out the window in doubt, a black shadow flashed across the Huangpu River and then sank into the river...

But because the distance was too far, Zhao Dongchuan couldn't see clearly what it was.

He instantly felt something was wrong...a feeling of uneasiness arose.

A voice inside him told him that something big was going to happen here today.

The green light came on... Zhao Dongchuan had no time to think, and immediately followed the flow of traffic and drove forward.

Soon he parked his car in the underground parking lot of a hotel according to the navigation.

But he did not enter the hotel. Instead, he turned around and walked back and went directly into the Oriental Pearl Park.

As time passed, the dark clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, and dull roars were heard from time to time.

Zhao Dongchuan frowned and looked up at the sky...

His intuition told him that something was wrong with this area.

His expression became serious, and he used all his senses to walk silently among the crowd.

Soon, Zhao Dongchuan noticed something strange.

In an area near the Oriental Pearl Tower, there is an invisible and intangible layer that covers that area.

Ordinary people have dull perception and are simply unable to detect it.

Just as Zhao Dongchuan was concentrating on thinking, a long black shadow suddenly emerged from the Huangpu River.

This time, because the distance was closer and Zhao Dongchuan was concentrating on perceiving, he saw the true face of the black shadow...

That was actually a dragon...

What a shame, he actually saw a dragon on the Huangpu River in Shanghai, next to the Oriental Pearl Tower where people were coming and going?

Who would believe this if I told anyone else?

The black dragon had a slender, curved body, shaped like a snake, about 40 to 50 meters long, a triangular head, a faint protrusion of flesh between its eyebrows, four claws in front and back, and a body covered with black scales...

I saw the black dragon rising from the water, bringing with it a hint of sharp coldness... and at the same time a sense of oppression spread.

It was just because it was concealed by its special position, and except for Zhao Dongchuan who had a strong sense and could see it, no one present noticed the existence of the black dragon.

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

There was rumbling thunder in the sky, and a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, striking the black dragon with lightning speed.

At this time, people around the Oriental Pearl Tower looked up at the sky in surprise.

"Oh my, what a huge thunder..."

"Yeah, it's scary..."

"It's going to rain soon, let's go to the mall quickly..."

"Yesterday's weather forecast didn't say there would be thunder and rain today... This weather forecast is so inaccurate..."

The people around were looking at the sky with lightning and thunder, talking and saying all kinds of things.

But no one could see the rising black dragon.

"Bang!!!"

The black dragon was struck by lightning, and a flash of lightning appeared on its body. In the flashes, it could be vaguely seen that many parts of the dragon's scales had turned black.

After struggling in the air for a while, the dragon suddenly lost its strength and fell into the water with a splash.

A trace of solemnity flashed across Zhao Dongchuan's eyes.

He slipped into a corner, took out a pair of glasses from the space, and put them on.

Then blend into the crowd and pretend you saw nothing.

Zhao Dongchuan had a vague feeling that this matter would definitely alarm some extraordinary forces...

It could be some sects, some families, or the legendary "749" bureau...

Zhao Dongchuan didn't want to be seen by others. He could see through the shielding attitudes around him.

If that happens, his peaceful days will be over.

Just in case, he also put on system glasses and changed his identity.

Zhao Dongchuan walked in the crowd, took out his cell phone, and pretended to take a selfie...

Then the camera was pointed at the sky...

But there was nothing abnormal on the screen... I guess this special force field is the so-called shielding formation, which can not only distort the surrounding light... but even simulate the surrounding environment.

At this moment, a black shadow flashed in the Huangpu River, and the black dragon rose up again...flying towards the sky with lightning and thunder.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

Several flashes of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the surrounding tall buildings as bright as day!

One of the thickest lightning bolts went straight towards the black dragon.

"boom!!!"

A dull sound came from the sky, which made people feel inexplicable panic. Under such divine power, mortals were just like ants.

The black dragon was hit hard again, and its scales were charred black... You could vaguely seep out a trace of sticky red blood...

"Fuck, is this a thunder tribulation?"

Zhao Dongchuan remained calm on the surface, but he kept complaining in his heart...
