I Carry a Game World With Me

Chapter 91: Chapter 89: A Fearless Bunch and the Repaired Tech

Inside Qingfeng Base.

Lu Feng brought the squad from the Salvation Army back with him.

However, the Salvation Army squad stuck close to Wang Cheng, still seemingly wary of the base.

Lu Feng assigned the squad to Wang Cheng and didn’t immediately make a move for the holographic virtual map. He simply instructed Wang Cheng, "Have them change out of their Salvation Army uniforms. It’s best they stay inside the base for now to avoid being discovered by the City East Alliance."

Wang Cheng immediately nodded.

Seeing this, Lu Feng left without disturbing them, careful not to reveal his ulterior motives.

’As long as they’re in the base, I’ll find a way to get them to hand over the holographic virtual map willingly.’

Otherwise, these Salvation Army members were a stubborn bunch. Force them? They were the type who would rather fight to the bitter end.

’If I can win people like this over, they’ll make excellent subordinates.’

Lu Feng returned to the front of the core building, intending to leave, when he saw an excited Cheng Yaoyao running over. "Boss, it’s repaired! I’ve repaired the electromagnetic rice cooker technology!"

A look of delight instantly appeared on Lu Feng’s face when he heard this.

Although the electromagnetic rice cooker was just a home appliance, it was the first piece of technology he had brought out of the game world.

’As long as this first technology is successfully developed in the real world and a foundation is laid, I can gradually introduce other technologies. In the future, Qingfeng Base can serve as my experimental research facility, and the real world will become my market.’

As she spoke, Cheng Yaoyao handed Lu Feng a stack of technical documents.

Lu Feng took the documents and immediately used his Prospecting Skill to view the information:

[This is a special electromagnetic rice cooker technology. The resulting rice cooker has a special electromagnetic effect that can ferment rice, giving the cooked rice special properties: Sweetness +1, Texture +1, Stickiness +1!]

The description was different this time.

’This means the electromagnetic rice cooker technology is now complete.’

"Yaoyao, you’ve worked hard!" Lu Feng said at once.

"Not at all, not at all!" Cheng Yaoyao immediately said, shaking her head.

The time she had spent with this boss was actually the happiest period she and her sister had experienced since the apocalypse. It was stable and secure. They no longer had to worry about going hungry, they had work to do, and they could prove their own worth. They no longer had to live in constant fear as they did before.

Lu Feng nodded and directly summoned Guo Zhen.

"Boss, what are your orders?" Guo Zhen asked respectfully at once.

Lu Feng said directly, "Tell everyone that Cheng Yaoyao has repaired the technology I wanted. The entire base will get extra food tonight."

Hearing this, Guo Zhen looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

After all, having extra food was a true luxury in the apocalypse. Just ensuring everyone had enough to eat was already a lavish affair.

The key issue was that this put an immense strain on their food supply.

But this boss of theirs often ordered extra rations.

Lu Feng naturally saw Guo Zhen’s concern and said with a smile, "Go on and do it. I have a way to ensure the base will never run out of food."

"Yes, Boss!" Guo Zhen nodded. He took out his walkie-talkie and spoke into it, "Pass this down: Cheng Yaoyao has repaired a piece of technology. The boss is rewarding everyone with extra food."

The news quickly spread throughout the base, exciting everyone.

Everyone at the base knew the boss had Cheng Yaoyao and the others repairing those technical documents. Although they didn’t know why he needed them, it was clear he placed great importance on it.

As a result, when the base members looked at Cheng Yaoyao now, they were noticeably more respectful.

This naturally gave Cheng Yaoyao a greater sense of accomplishment, filling her with motivation. She remembered that there were other appliance technologies among the documents.

After making the arrangements, Lu Feng logged out of the game and appeared back in his hotel room.

The electromagnetic rice cooker technology was fully repaired. He was naturally eager to see how much better the rice cooker tech from the game world was compared to what was available outside.

Electromagnetically fermented rice was a technological concept that didn’t yet exist in the real world.

Lu Feng directly called Brother Lin. As soon as the call connected, he asked, "Brother Lin, how are the negotiations for the appliance company going?"

Brother Lin’s voice came through immediately. "We’re still in talks. We hired a professional public relations team to handle the negotiations. Their initial asking price is 100 million for all the factory buildings and equipment. However, the head of the PR team, Tang Chen, is very good. He’s uncovered some unfavorable information about them and thinks he can get them to drop the price by another 30 million."

"Okay, let me know when you have a result," Lu Feng said before hanging up.

Acquiring an existing rice cooker appliance company was the fastest way to get the electromagnetic rice cooker to market.

It was just that they had no experience in this area, so they had to hire a professional PR team.

Many people have a misconception about the public relations profession, thinking it involves sending a beautiful woman to someone’s room to wait for them after a shower.

That’s not actually the case. That isn’t public relations; that’s a sexual transaction.

A PR team has many functions, including mergers and acquisitions PR, buyout PR, and so on.

Putting away his phone, Lu Feng called his cousin Yang Ming and Chen Bo over. Since they were in Tianzhou City, they needed to make some preparations; they couldn’t just keep living in a hotel.

"Xiaofeng," said Yang Ming.

"Young Master Feng, what are your orders?" asked Chen Bo.

The two greeted him as soon as they arrived.

Lu Feng got straight to the point. "Cousin, when you have a moment, help me find a large warehouse, one that can store a lot of grain. Also, look into grain trading companies for me. I’m planning to open a grain trading center."

Yang Ming nodded. "Okay, I’ll have someone start looking into it right away."

Lu Feng then added, "One more thing. Since we’re here to grow our business in Tianzhou City, living in a hotel isn’t a long-term solution. I’m planning to buy a property. What about you two? Want to come along?"

"Yes, that’s a good idea." Yang Ming nodded, a little eager himself.

His house in Youcheng belonged to his parents, and he usually lived with them. He had thought about buying his own property before.

’Buying a property in Tianzhou City now isn’t a bad idea. Once I make more money, buying another one back in Youcheng would be great too.’

"Young Master Feng, wherever you’re buying, I’ll buy in the same complex," Chen Bo said decisively. He was determined to ride Lu Feng’s coattails all the way.

"Then let’s go together!" Lu Feng said with a smile and a nod.

A house is a major life event. In many cases, especially when returning to one’s hometown, whether a person owns a house and what kind of car they drive are often used as key factors to judge their success.

Besides, owning a house is always a stable asset, no matter the era.

That’s why he hoped his cousin and the others would also buy property instead of wasting their money in nightclubs.

He himself was planning to buy a villa.

After all, for a man, a villa and a luxury car were among the true marks of success.

When Lu Feng headed out with his men to buy a house, the other "brothers" immediately wanted to join in on the excitement. Lu Feng didn’t refuse them. It was fine for them to tag along and look around, so they all went out together.

’Maybe if I take them with me, it’ll influence them. When they make money, they’ll buy property first instead of wasting it.’

That way, when these men returned home, their neighbors and relatives would praise them, saying they had followed a good boss and bought houses in a provincial capital like Tianzhou City.

The large group was a mighty procession and certainly attracted attention. With their fierce-looking tattoos, they were an intimidating sight, causing people to give them a wide berth, not wanting any trouble.

’In this society, even if you’re not doing anything bad, it’s still good to make people afraid to mess with you.’

...

Tianzhou Real Estate was the leading company in Tianzhou City’s real estate industry, with a total market capitalization in the hundreds of billions.

Lu Feng led his men directly to one of Tianzhou Real Estate’s sales centers.

He chose this company purely because he was unfamiliar with Tianzhou City and knew nothing about the real estate industry.

So, he chose the biggest one. Generally, the largest real estate enterprise in Tianzhou City would surely have all kinds of properties, including various types of villas.

Upon arriving at Tianzhou Real Estate, the magnificent lobby was a dazzling sight.

The floor was paved with marble and covered by a clean, tidy red carpet. Ornate railings stood between the staircases, creating a very unique look.

Just looking at it gave off a high-end, grand, and luxurious feeling.

"Welcome, gentlemen." As soon as the two hostesses at the entrance saw Lu Feng’s group, they immediately bowed respectfully in greeting.

Evidently, these hostesses had been specially recruited. They were stunning, and their clean, tidy cheongsams were quite eye-catching.

After greeting them, one of the hostesses watched Lu Feng’s group enter and stole a glance at Lu Feng.

After all, with their fierce tattoos, the group didn’t look like good people at first glance. Yet, they were all respectfully following behind that one young man.

’Could he be a legendary underworld princeling?’

Lu Feng didn’t notice the hostess’s thoughts and strode confidently into the lobby. The crowd behind him, however, inevitably drew the attention of the other customers in the hall.

Many people frowned at the sight, and one couple even started whispering to each other:

"Those guys look like thugs!"

"Yeah, you can tell they’re not good people. I wonder which community’s houses they’re planning to buy?"

"Well, we definitely can’t buy in the same place as them. Who knows what trouble we’d run into living with people like that?"

"..."

Others who overheard this found it quite reasonable.

Just then, a commotion erupted outside. A group of people entered, led by a middle-aged man who was respectfully showing the way.

When the management in the Tianzhou Real Estate lobby saw this middle-aged man, they immediately hurried forward to greet him respectfully.

"President Hu, what brings you here?"

"General Manager..."

But President Hu immediately said, "What are you standing around for? Bring the brochures for the best villa districts over for Master Kai to look at, right now."

This drew even more stares. The general manager of Tianzhou Real Estate was a significant figure, second only to the owner and a few directors.

Yet, this President Hu was being so deferential to Master Kai, which was enough to show that Master Kai had an incredibly powerful background. Moreover, many people recognized the beautiful woman by Master Kai’s side as a female celebrity.

An ordinary person couldn’t afford to be seen with a female celebrity that most people would recognize on sight.

As Master Kai entered, he naturally noticed Lu Feng’s large, imposing group.

Seeing that they were all covered in tattoos, he looked down on them completely.

’Thugs like this are too low-class.’

"Huh?" Master Kai let out a sudden sound of surprise, for he had spotted Lu Feng in the crowd.

This stunned him. He walked over to Lu Feng with a broad smile. "President Lu, I never expected to see you here. What a coincidence."
