"It's such a treat to be able to sleep in without a care in the world. Compared to burying myself in the office, this feeling is simply wonderful." The dashing guy woke up from the comfortable bed that the Easter Egg Clan had carefully prepared for him, stretched, yawned, and sighed with a look of contentment.
After a refreshing wash, the dashing young man leisurely descended the stairs and continued walking at a leisurely pace towards Chen Ping's location. Bathed in the bright morning sunlight, he muttered to himself with a relaxed and cheerful smile, "Now let me see where Brother Chen Ping is. Yesterday he was still in the Dream Forest, which is quite a large place. I guess he hasn't had enough fun yet."
As the lord of Paradise City, Handsome Guy possesses special privileges, including the ability to activate a dedicated control panel at any time, allowing him to manage every aspect of Paradise City. The token held by Chen Ping is actually a secondary token authorized by Handsome Guy, enabling Handsome Guy to view Chen Ping's current location at any time through the panel.
Of course, its three assistants also have the right to view this panel, but they can only use the privileged panel provided in the office. Although the panel in the office is powerful, some advanced permissions can only be activated by the city lord, reflecting the hierarchical difference in permissions between the city lord and the assistants.
"Huh? Hmm! What the heck???"
Handsome Guy stared wide-eyed at Chen Ping's location displayed on the panel, and was surprised to find that Chen Ping was only a few hundred meters away from him. If his memory served him right, that direction was exactly where the nearest teleportation device was located.
This means that Chen Ping most likely arrived here via a teleportation device. How could this be? Logically speaking, unless guided by a member of the Easter Egg Clan, an ordinary person shouldn't be able to activate a teleportation device on their own.
Moreover, why did Chen Ping choose to teleport to this location? A strange sense of unease arose, and Xiaosage inwardly groaned, "Oh dear, could someone really be plotting something behind this?"
Watching Chen Ping's changing position on the screen, the dashing guy instantly realized that his assistants must have noticed him loitering around the central area without making a move these past few days and thus took action. He thought with annoyance, "If I had known this would happen, I should have acted sooner."
Facing the flashing coordinates on the dashboard, the dashing young man's expression turned serious as he pondered his next move: should he wait for Chen Ping to come to him, or...?
"I've got it! I'll just pretend I don't know anything, right? I'll head to the Dream Forest right now. Hey, that makes perfect sense, considering Chen Ping was there last night."
The dashing guy muttered a self-deprecating laugh to himself, then quickly ran to the parking lot, randomly selected a flying vehicle, and eagerly sped off towards the Dream Forest. Checking the panel again, he realized he had successfully missed Chen Ping's position. The dashing guy smugly thought to himself, "Done! Perfectly avoided! Yay!"
......
The guide, Cai Ling, pointed to a unique building ahead and said confidently, "We're almost there. The city lord rested last night at that tavern exclusively for the Egg Clan. According to its usual habits, it's probably still resting at this time."
Chen Ping and Gabriel both nodded in understanding after hearing this. Chen Ping smiled with interest and said, "So there's a hotel in Paradise City specifically for Easter egg lovers. How thoughtful!"
Cai Ling smiled and replied, "Yes, considering the special body shape and living habits of our Egg Clan, ordinary beds are indeed not suitable for us to rest, so we have specially set up such a special resting place."
Led by Cai Ling, they navigated several bends and finally arrived at the building. Cai Ling stopped, looked at the tavern entrance, and said uncertainly, "This is it. The city lord spent last night here, but I don't know if he's awake yet."
Chen Ping smiled calmly and suggested, "Let's go, we'll just go and ask."
The three walked forward. The tavern's door was open, and a faint fragrance filled the air; the ambiance was elegant and tranquil. As they entered, they noticed the tavern's staff, who, upon seeing them, immediately greeted them warmly.
The egg shop clerk initially glanced at Chen Ping and Gabriel with a slightly puzzled look, then turned his attention to Cai Ling and asked enthusiastically, "Cai Ling, are you here to stay?"
Cai Ling waved her hand and smiled as she clarified, "No, I'm here to see the City Lord. I remember it rested here last night. Do you know which room the City Lord is staying in? Is it awake yet?"
The egg shop clerk thought for a moment and then replied, "Oh, looking for the city lord? Yes, the city lord did rest here last night. However, it left very early this morning, which is quite rare. I was quite impressed by the city lord getting up so early."
Chen Ping and Gabriel looked at each other, marveling at this serendipitous encounter. They had just arrived when Handsome Bro happened to leave, and they missed their chance to meet by just over ten minutes.
Upon hearing this, Cai Ling's expression turned slightly awkward, and she secretly regretted not arriving sooner. She suddenly remembered that unlike the assistants who could only view the Paradise City panel in their offices, the City Lord, Xiao Sa Ge, could view and control the panel anytime, anywhere. Now that the City Lord had left so quickly, Cai Ling deduced that Xiao Sa Ge had likely already noticed their whereabouts and thus left in advance.
"What a coincidence. It seems the city lord also wanted to meet with Mr. Chen Ping as soon as possible, which is why he left so early." Cai Ling smiled bitterly to herself, thinking about how to adjust the plan while explaining the situation to Chen Ping and Gabriel, preparing to revise the plan to find Xiao Sa Ge.
However, Cai Ling quickly guessed where the city lord had gone. Without much thought, to avoid being manipulated by the assistants, it must have gone to the Dream Forest, since Chen Ping had rested there yesterday.
Only this direction can explain its behavior. Even if the city lord already knows they are looking for it, as long as they don't run into it head-on, it has a chance to escape.
Of course, this is just a one-time thing; it's just a way to prolong the world of slacking off.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping laughed and said, "Is that so? Well, Brother Xiaosai is probably heading towards the Dream Forest right now, right? Should we take the teleportation device back?"
Cai Ling: "Well, that's all we can do. Let's go then."
The three returned the way they came and quickly returned to the Bamboo Forest Hotel in the Dream Forest via the teleportation device.
Cai Ling: "Mr. Chen Ping, Miss Gabriel, I'll go check the route to the city lord first. Once the city lord arrives, I'll bring him here to find you. What do you think?"
Chen Ping: "Okay, then let's wait here for the next few days."
