Zhang Kai and his assistant walked out of the room and stepped directly onto a teleportation array.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived in the central region of the Dragon Kingdom.

Nowadays, people have a wide variety of ways to travel.

Some people pilot all sorts of flying machines; others ride flying swords through the sky; still others wear magical cloaks or ride clouds as they soar through the air.

This place combines the power of technology and magic, making it full of fantasy and completely different from the Dragon Kingdom of the past.

Zhang Kai led his assistant into a spacious and bright reception room, where they found that hundreds of representatives from extraterrestrial civilizations had already gathered.

The entire conference room was completely silent. All the representatives of the alien civilizations sat in their respective seats in an orderly manner, without making a sound.

Zhang Kai transmitted his voice to his assistant and asked, "I just looked around and noticed that there are quite a few representatives from Level 7 civilizations present. That's strange. Why are they all so well-behaved? Didn't they cause any trouble?"

After all, some newly arrived Level 7 civilizations have always been arrogant and considered themselves superior.

The assistant replied, "When they first came, they were really arrogant and didn't take us seriously at all."

"They just picked the wrong target; they chose the shopkeeper and tried to attack Zixiao Island."

Zhang Kai raised an eyebrow, his heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected this group of foreign civilizations to be so courageous as to dare to attack Zixiao Island. They were truly impressive.

It's important to know that while the previous civilizations were quite aggressive when they first arrived, they never dared to target Zixiao Island.

At least for now, no other civilization besides them dares to make a move against Zixiao Island.

Seeing that these civilizations had been subdued and were behaving obediently, Zhang Kai stopped exerting excessive pressure.

He slowly said, "Distinguished representatives of civilizations who have traveled from afar, on behalf of the Blue Star Dragon Kingdom, I welcome you to establish diplomatic relations with us."

Then, he introduced himself: "I am Zhang Kai from the Blue Star Dragon Extraterrestrial Management Department. If any civilization is willing to establish diplomatic relations with us, we are very happy to provide some assistance within our capabilities."

After speaking, he smiled and looked at the crowd, waiting for their response.

After being brutally beaten by Ye Yun, these representatives of civilizations in the audience now understand their own status.

They were naturally willing to establish diplomatic relations with Blue Star, and they also wanted to participate in the shop owner's activities to obtain those magical and extraordinary items.

Zhang Kai didn't expect it to be so easy this time; it was handled very simply.

It seems the shopkeeper's prestige is still superior; he only needs to demonstrate his strength slightly, and these civilizations will obediently follow.

Zhang Kai couldn't help but think, if every civilization were so dishonest and actively provoked the shopkeepers, wouldn't their jobs be much easier?

Today, Zhang Kai left work early for the first time ever, and he was in an exceptionally good mood.

Back home, he leisurely savored the delicious meat imported from the beast world, and his body was further strengthened without him even realizing it.

As time went by, Zhang Kai's cultivation level successfully broke through to the He Xu realm.

After careful consideration, he decided to resign from his current job after a while and then retire honorably.

This way, he can participate in the next event organized by the shop owner.

Becoming a state public official has both advantages and disadvantages.

One of his obvious advantages is that he can use the nation's fortune to accelerate his cultivation process, and his cultivation speed is in no way inferior to that of the customers who participate in the shop owner's activities.

In addition, one also gains merit. By maintaining the normal operation of the country, one can naturally acquire corresponding merit points.

However, this career choice inevitably brings some disadvantages.

Due to restrictions, they are unable to access as many opportunities and challenges as other participants, and can only look on with envy and helplessness at the various opportunities offered by the shop owner program.

Each time, they could only watch from their office as their customers took risks, filled with a sense of envy.

...

One month later, Ye Yun slowly stood up from his chair, stretched lazily, and then said softly to the air, "System, we can give them some rest time, but not too long. Now we can let them start taking action."

After saying this, he waited quietly for the system's response.

As soon as Ye Yun finished speaking, the system immediately responded, indicating that it understood his meaning and would act accordingly.

Hearing the system's reply, Ye Yun nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at the other customers in the store.

At this moment, Ye Yun was like an all-seeing god, his gaze sweeping over every customer in the store, as if he could see through their deepest thoughts and secrets.

Ye Yun already knew everything about these guests; their every move was under his watchful eye.

Suddenly, a giant screen appeared in the sky, displaying a countdown.

The countdown numbers kept ticking away, decreasing every second, and now there were only three days left until the countdown ended.

Zhang Kai, who was drinking inside the shop, was stunned when he saw this scene.

He was leisurely savoring his wine when he was interrupted by the countdown in the sky.

His eyes widened in shock as he stared at the countdown, muttering to himself, "My God, I didn't expect this event to start so quickly."

Based on past experience, it usually takes at least two months to hold another event after it ends, but this time it was held much earlier.

Zhang Kai felt somewhat confused, not understanding why this arrangement was different from the past.

Zhang Kai carefully observed the countdown in the sky and discovered that this world was actually a welfare world.

He was overjoyed, a bright smile spreading across his face. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Haha, it seems the shop owner is really taking good care of me this time! This is such a pleasant surprise!"

At the same time, the other guests who were originally in seclusion also received notification sounds and woke up from their cultivation.

Looking at the notification message in the sky, they were filled with anticipation and excitement, and began to prepare for the event.

Old Chen also woke up from his seclusion. Looking at the countdown in the sky, he decided to take advantage of the remaining time to undergo a tribulation first.

The magical power within his body reached its peak at this moment, and dark clouds began to gather in the sky, with countless lightning bolts flashing through them, ready to strike at any moment.

Old Chen soared into the air, his aura rising inch by inch until it reached its peak, when a loud explosion rang out and thunder struck!
