Chapter 1403 - 1402: Island Design Blueprint

Innocent Lu Zheng only acted as a messenger; as for other matters, they had nothing to do with him.

Lu Zheng: (*/ω＼*)

...

The next afternoon, Lu Zheng, along with Liu Qingyan, time-traveled to the modern era and learned from Lin Wan that everything was already prepared.

"Wow, that was pretty fast?"

From the time Lu Zheng conveyed the message to the higher-ups, and Xiao Yuya requested them to prepare for a period, it hadn't actually been long.

From discovering the Demon Seed within Zeng Changlong at the White Water Hall of Lianshan Sect, to following Si Lingxi to the Southern Border searching for the Primordial Fang Dog Demon Venerable, and then to the three monks from Great Brahma Heaven Temple coming to meddle.

Then, Master Liutu Cha died and framed Yuan Ya Old Demon, lured Master Fansa deep into the Southern Border to fight Yuan Ya Old Demon, leading to mutual destruction and ultimately, Si Lingxi striking to end Yuan Ya Old Demon's current earthly journey.

Even including the two days Lu Zheng returned to White Cloud Mountain to relay messages, it hadn't exceeded ten days.

In such a short time, everything was ready?

Lin Wan nodded, "The fleets, civilian ships, building materials, construction teams, are all ready along the coast, and the advance team has reached the farthest islands in three directions."

"Very efficient." Lu Zheng said.

Lin Wan laughed, "Because they're afraid you'd get impatient waiting, or you might suddenly do it yourself."

"Tsk!" Lu Zheng waved his hand, "Am I that kind of person? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Lin Wan shrugged, "Nonetheless, during the Red Chess River project, they were almost overwhelmed, so afterwards they established an emergency mechanism."

Lu Zheng, "..."

"But after the water flows through Red Chess River, and with a few more islands in the South Sea, seems there won't be much happening later." Lu Zheng pondered, "That emergency mechanism might not be needed much."

Lin Wan blinked, "That emergency mechanism not only handles logistics, it was also activated during the Mianbei lightning murder incident."

"Uh… well, things like these might become more frequent in the future."

Lu Zheng stroked his chin, "Using it often, it's not really an emergency mechanism anymore. I think a name change is in order, maybe something like Meteorological Weapon Progress Release Center."

Lu Zheng: (◔◡◔)

As they say, when poor, one should preserve oneself; when wealthy, help the world. Today's world is far from being a society of unlimited resources, and both internally and externally, there are many things that are outrageous but ordinary people can do nothing about.

Thus, Lu Zheng was truly unsure if he would act frequently in the future, for instance, if national football management collectively met with accidents, or Mount Fuji suddenly erupted.

Hmm, these two matters are indeed hard to accept…

Oops, the topic has strayed.

"So, I can now go to the South Sea anytime and start building islands?" Lu Zheng asked.

Lin Wan nodded, "Our fleet in the South Sea can ensure to reach any designated location within the South Sea territory overnight."

Lu Zheng sighed, "We're pretty pumped up now!"

Lin Wan smirked, "Yes, now we don't need to talk about joint development, it's just ancient times now."

"Alright!" Lu Zheng nodded decisively, looking at Lin Wan, "Then let's go!"

However, Lin Wan didn't move.

"What's wrong?" Lu Zheng blinked.

Lin Wan bit her lip, hugged Lu Zheng's arm tightly, and pinched it hard.

"You're gone for ten days, it's fine to be busy there, but when you came back to celebrate two days ago, you didn't invite me?"

Lu Zheng was dumbfounded, then saw Shen Ying and Liu Qingyan beside them giggling.

Awkward!

But no problem!

Lu Zheng turned around and pulled Lin Wan into his embrace, attempting to settle the matter on the spot…

"Swoosh!"

With a light sound, he and Lin Wan were teleported to the bedroom's large bed, and Si Lingxi thoughtfully closed the door for them.

Lin Wan was used to it, twisting her waist, and flip over.

So, going to the South Sea was naturally postponed to the next day.

...

Early the next morning, as Lu Zheng moved Lin Wan's arm and Shen Ying's thigh aside, he ate the breakfast Liu Qingyan had prepared for them.

Meanwhile, Liu Qingyan herself had already gone to Longhua Hospital for work.

"Are you going later?" Lu Zheng asked Si Lingxi, who was surfing online.

Just building an island, Lu Zheng doubted if Si Lingxi was interested, after all, she played with fire and wouldn't generally go to the sea.

Si Lingxi turned her head, raised her phone, which displayed an artificial island in the South Sea.

Meiji Island.

Heart-shaped Meiji Island.

"They designed it like this, quite beautiful." Si Lingxi laughed.

Lu Zheng laughed, "Also lucky, the reef underneath is circular, with a touch of design, it turned out like this."

"But someone once said, beauty is combat strength, such a beautiful Meiji Island is also the largest artificial island in the South Sea right now."

Lu Zheng said, "Designing it like this can also psychologically intimidate some opponents, and when developing tourism later, it provides ample promotional appeal, accomplishing multiple goals."

Si Lingxi nodded, "Then I'll design the new islands."

"Great!"

Lu Zheng was more than willing, "You design, I'll do the work, how about designing a Phoenix Island?"

Si Lingxi nodded reservedly, raised her hand, and brought over an easel, paper, and colored pencils from the balcony.

"Rustle!"

When Shen Ying and Lin Wan combined came out of the bedroom, they saw a Phoenix Island poised to take flight over the sea.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

Lin Wan rushed forward, looking at the design drawing, exclaimed in surprise, "Are we going to build an island like this?"

"How's it?"

"Super cool!" Lin Wan nodded, "Very challenging!"

"Very challenging?"

"Xiao Yuya and his group would find it very challenging." Lin Wan couldn't help but laugh, "Hope they can handle it."

"It's stunning!" Shen Ying came up behind Si Lingxi and started massaging Si Lingxi's shoulders, "Sister Lingxi, could you draw me a Taohua Island?"

Si Lingxi smiled, switched to another sheet of paper, and with a wave of her hand, a five-petaled Taohua Island appeared, with a small peak in the center as the pistil.

"Lu Lang, Lu Lang~" Shen Ying latched onto Lu Zheng's arm, "Build another Taohua Island!"

"Build, build, build!"

Lu Zheng nodded repeatedly, looking at Lin Wan, "What do you want?"

Lin Wan: (*°ω°*)ﾉ

Alright, let the Ancient Culture Research and Analysis Archival Room worry about it!

"I want a Giant Panda Island!" Lin Wan decisively made her request.

At a time like this, how could there be a lack of national treasures?

"Arranged!" Lu Zheng nodded, "Let's add a Celestial Fox Island, that's four islands already, there are five more slots, everyone brainstorm for any iconic shapes that could be used for island designs?"

Thus, until lunch, everyone was still engaged in discussions.

As for going to build islands? No rush, no rush!
