My System Arrives 3 Years Earlier, But the Deities Haven't Come Yet

Tront was left speechless by Tioya's response. Finally, he turned to the two Brotherhood council members sitting opposite him and said, "Dazabi, Sabisiwo, this is the female general you promoted."

"I think she's right. If you want to lock down the entire city, do it in your own city," Sabisiwo supported Tioya.

"Exactly, putting him on the wanted list will completely sever any chance of cooperation. Unless you can catch him, it's a foolish move that will draw more external attention," Dazabi added.

The meeting room fell into silence. They all remembered how difficult it was to catch Zeng Shen in Old Xincheng.

After a long pause, Ellen, who rarely spoke and sat beside Bayard, suddenly said, "He didn't completely refuse us. He probably still wants to collaborate, so I think we have a chance to lure him out again."

"How do we lure him?" Tioya asked, squinting at Ellen.

Ellen thought for a moment and shook her head, "I don't know, but maybe we can announce a delay in signing the cooperation agreement publicly, while secretly deploying special forces and informants for a 24-hour city-wide surveillance. We could also try sincerely apologizing to him through communications, agreeing to amend Article 250."

"Oh! Ellen, are you treating him like a child to be fooled?" Tront dismissed the idea with a hint of disdain.

Ellen adjusted her decorative glasses and coldly asked, "Mr. Tront, do you have a better suggestion?"

"If I did, it certainly wouldn't be like yours, spending all day in the lab with bugs," Tront arrogantly replied.

"You..." Ellen's expression turned icy.

Tioya, feeling tired, said, "Enough, stop arguing. If there are no better ideas, I think we should adopt Ellen's suggestion."

"I agree," said the female officer who had been silent beside Sabisiwo. "But deploying informants for secret searches should suffice. Deploying special forces might attract external attention."

"Since Mrs. Jo has spoken, let's proceed accordingly," Jack, who had been silent, suddenly said.

"Alright."

Soon, Bayard and Tioya began arranging their informants for a secret city-wide search for Zeng Shen. Meanwhile, others left the meeting room, each with their own plans to contact Zeng Shen independently and monopolize the mine.

Little did they know, Zeng Shen, after bringing Lin Keke downstairs and storing the No. 1 Divine Energy Vehicle in a hidden spot, had already become invisible and returned to the meeting room. He stealthily took the two documents from the table into his backpack space, curious about their plans once they regained consciousness.

After waiting for about two minutes, the people in the room began to recover. Feeling a bit bored, Zeng Shen looked at Tioya's angelic face, which was comparable to Keke Lin's, and recalled her cold words, which angered him.

He had come here trusting her, only to be treated this way. If it weren't for his abilities, he might have been imprisoned by now.

Quickly, he thought of a way to vent his anger. He took out an unused replica card from his backpack space and began replicating Tioya while listening to their plans against him.

Once he understood their strategy, Zeng Shen left the room as everyone else did.

In an instant, he appeared in a secluded alley, then took a disguise mask from his backpack space, changed his clothes, and walked into a KFC. He ordered five family buckets, eating one there and packing the other four.

Next, he sat in an empty corner and started reviewing the documents he had retrieved. The list of companies and farm owners in the documents was crucial to him.

Since a peaceful agreement couldn't be reached, he decided to embrace the USA's first cultural aspect by staging an unprecedented zero-dollar shopping spree.

Excited, Zeng Shen took out his phone and took numerous photos of the documents.

He sent the photos to Xiao Ai on WeChat, leaving a message: "Xiao Ai, help me find out where these major companies and farm owners store their reserved export crops and fresh meat in the U.S."

"Master, give me some time," Xiao Ai quickly replied.

Zeng Shen responded with an 'OK' emoji and opened the map app to find insect museums and zoos in Los Angeles.

Soon, he found three insect stores selling insect pets on the map. Two were in the city, not far away, and one was outside the city, a bit farther.

After eating, Zeng Shen left KFC, went to a secluded corner, and stored the four family buckets and two large bottles of soda into his backpack space.

He hailed a taxi on the street, heading to the nearest insect store.

Unfortunately, this insect store mainly sold beetles and had no spiders.

Zeng Shen moved on to another nearby insect store.

This store sold spiders, but none had survived for three years due to the presence of a future water-type demonic horned frog beast, a bullfrog with lord-level potential.

It seemed the spiders, even if they became exotic beasts, ended up in the belly of their natural enemy, the devil triangle frog.

Of course, not wanting to leave empty-handed, Zeng Shen bought and tamed the large bullfrog, currently in its tadpole stage.

He found a secluded corner, opened his divine realm, and placed the large tadpole in a river pool. He then checked on the animals in the forest before leaving the divine realm.

Back in the real world, Zeng Shen noticed the setting sun and went to a secluded corner to retrieve the Divine Energy Vehicle.

"Where should I go?" he mused, sitting in the vehicle. He took out the replication card of Tioya but hesitated and put it back in his backpack space.

He remembered a girl from earlier in the day: Barbara, who had tried to control him with the obedience potion.

"It's time to give her a big surprise."

With a mischievous smile, Zeng Shen removed his disguise mask, passed by a few surveillance cameras, and sped towards the abandoned factory in the eastern part of the city.
