Chapter 1622 - 836: Welcome—Arrival_2

Neither bearing the name Lian nor the name Di, neither belonging to Tian Yuan nor leaning towards Desert Market.

The internal and behind-the-scenes forces and supporters are incredibly mixed, with contradictions abounding between them. Yet, they refrain from launching battles for survival and instead are able to sit at the same table under Ji Jue's rules, awaiting the feast.

In just two short years, Ji Jue, a former university student who was once disregarded, began with a tricycle and gradually pieced together scraps from heaps of neglected waste, ultimately creating an unprecedented epic patchwork monster.

Soon after, he emerged in the Embers of Decay Decision, was evaluated by masters, crowned with glory, and even personally put an end to the Holy Fool's Artifact.

Such skill and prowess, such achievements and foundations, how could they not leave others astounded?

Today, the craftsman named Ji Jue has become an essential character that all invested parties can no longer overlook or belittle.

… At least that's how it's written in the interviews on the Desert Market platform!

As the mastermind behind Coastal Industry, a talent not seen in the Association for forty years, an undisputed Chosen One of Ember and the youngest contemporary Master of Glory, Ji Jue couldn't resist buying dozens of copies to gift to relatives, colleagues, and fellow Association members, earning unanimous praise and enthusiastic responses from everyone.

This specifically refers to an average of ten-plus sixty-second voice messages per person.

Scrolling through messages on his phone, Ji Jue clicked his tongue and suddenly slapped his forehead, realizing he hadn't told Xian Yu today about his wise acquisition of You Sui, courageous elimination of Bei Gong, and his noble feats against Elder Anvil!

He only talked about it three times yesterday, so he needs to reinforce it today.

Regrettably, after a lot of fishing, no matter what kind of news, coupon links, or pop-ups Ji Jue sends disguised, Ye Chun will not be fooled anymore.

Not only has Ye Chun long stopped taking his calls, but she even switched to an old phone that can't access the internet or view images to guard against him, clearly showing a lack of tacit understanding and trust between the alumni!

You share joy with good intentions, yet you're unwilling to enjoy a laugh with me?

Xian Yu, deserves to be punished!

Unfortunately, before, Ji Jue could use an essay to compete with her, but ever since he received the Master of Glory title, Professor Ye has completely given up on comparing him to her family's salted fish.

Anyway, the heir is already there, it doesn't matter how they turn out; the ancestral teachings have already been passed down.

The family leech just needs to be alive, breathing is enough.

Now the only thing to watch for is to avoid these two getting together unnoticed, repeating old stories and inadvertently increasing the waste content at his workshop.

In the short term, Ji Jue truly lacks the courage to show up before his teacher… especially after the brutal beating at Tianshu, he's now worried that if Professor Ye sees his face, she might be unable to restrain herself, ready to give him another lesson.

Maybe wait a few days and quietly probe Xian Yu for news!

"Have we arrived?"

After several days of research in the workshop, Ji Jue heard a notification.

Outside the cargo ship, the outlines of land were faintly visible on the horizon, with Hai Province close at hand. The closer he got, the more distinct the coastline became, with its steel sheet houses and temporary structures, airborne dust and the booming noise of the construction site.

Following the launch of the fourth expansion phase of Coastal Industry's factory districts, the originally small fishing port pier outside New Spring was also in for a renovation.

Nowadays, all of New Spring is essentially a construction site; not just the factory districts for Coastal Industry, even the residential areas are running out of land.

With local employees' income levels rising gradually, once they've saved some money, they're unaccustomed to living in the Coast's cinder-block dormitories, naturally wanting improved conditions.

Moreover, there are various commercial demands; as purchasing power increases, many businesses originally in the city have also set up shops in New Spring, creating a bustling commercial street.

Despite the wide expanse of the Wilderness, usable land is extraordinarily scarce.

In recent days, some have begun advocating for the clearing and redevelopment of the Old Spring City's ruins.

Such proposals have been temporarily shelved by Ji Jue.

The current setup is already too spread out and vast, but managing such a large area is neither crude nor simple.

There are too few reliable personnel, and the basic foundation isn't large enough; if things go awry, it could all evaporate like a soap bubble, failing to maintain even the current state. Worse, it might be usurped by others, with the hard work of many years merely dressing another's bride.

With countless issues to address, each must be tackled one by one; some matters can only be handled slowly.

Amidst a thriving atmosphere, New Spring has now welcomed a level of prosperity unforeseen by everyone, truly earning Hai Province's Wilderness Hub designation.

In step with untamed growth, the vibrant scenery already catches the eye.

No matter how many reports, photos, and videos one views, nothing quite matches the experience of a personal visit. Even though only half a month has passed since departure, the street scenes and alleys have become somewhat unfamiliar.

Including the appearance of Lou Feng.

"… What the heck?"

Holding a street-bought fried skewer and a cup of milk tea making slurping sounds, Ji Jue just pushed open the door to Lou Feng's workshop and saw a face as pale as a ghost.
