Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

Celestial Star Agricultural Company.

Inside the laboratory.

Yang Fan met his subordinates.

Currently, the company employs a total of eighteen researchers, all of whom are older than him.

Everyone's gaze at their immediate supervisor was filled with various emotions.

There was curiosity, and probing, but mostly surprise at the young age of the minister.

He looks just like a recent college graduate!

Fortunately, there weren't any clueless individuals putting on a "I refuse to accept a youngster as my superior" attitude.

After all, jobs are indeed hard to find these days.

Especially in popular industries like new agriculture.

The HR director, holding a rice plant himself, introduced to the researchers: "This is Mr. Yang Fan, the minister of the Special Development Department."

Yang Fan smiled and greeted, "Hello everyone!"

The HR director immediately used his free left hand to vigorously clap the back of his right hand, "Let's welcome Minister Yang to Celestial Star Agriculture."

"Clap! Clap!"

All the researchers promptly applauded, each trying to show their brightest smiles.

Yang Fan looked at this scene and suddenly recalled a saying—when you look up from a lower position, all you see are backsides, but from above looking down, all you see are smiling faces.

The HR director exuded enthusiasm: "I believe everyone has heard that on Minister Yang's first day in office.

"He immediately diagnosed the General Manager with a tumor in the liver, his insight was like that of the legendary Divine Doctor."

The researchers' eyes once again gathered on their superior.

The HR director joked again, "Working under Minister Yang, let him observe you more often, heal your illnesses, strengthen your body when you're healthy, and save on medical expenses."

The researchers let out a burst of laughter in coordination.

The HR director continued seriously, "When I say 'heal illnesses,' I'm not fooling anyone."

He used himself as an example, "Just now, Minister Yang glanced at me and knew that I had been going to bed after one in the morning recently.

"A look at my tongue and he could tell I had a stomach bloating issue and ate very little for dinner."

The researchers' expressions subtly changed.

The HR director timely handed over the floor: "Now let's have Minister Yang say a few words."

This director, with great emotional intelligence, took a step back, voluntarily giving the "center stage" to Yang Fan.

Yang Fan began to speak, "I joined Celestial Star Agriculture not to idle away the time, but to cultivate excellent mutated crops."

He looked around, "Someone might think I'm bluffing..."

The researchers made efforts to control their expressions, fearing they would be perceived by their boss as thinking "the boss is bluffing."

This big shot is a favorite in the company, and anyone who offends him might risk losing their job.

Yang Fan suddenly broke into a smile, "I've been tinkering with something small these past couple of days."

He took a white seed out of his pocket, "Could someone please bring me a flower pot, with soil inside."

A middle-aged bald researcher quickly shouted, "Minister Yang, I'll get it," and was the first to rush out.

Judging from his response speed, his intelligence indeed seems formidable.

Soon after.

The flower pot was brought.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Yang Fan planted the seed in the soil, stepped back two steps, and said, "Done."

A slender stem quickly emerged from the soil, growing into a palm-sized plant, bearing a bright red fruit.

Now that we're in the Superpower Era.

Videos of ripening plants using superpowers are not uncommon on the internet.

But the researchers were witnessing it firsthand for the first time, naturally, they were stunned.

Even a fool could tell, this was the super being showing off.

The HR director curiously asked, "Minister Yang, is this a cherry tomato?"

Yang Fan laughed, "Director Zhang, you're welcome to try it."

The HR director looked honored, "I've never tasted a cherry tomato nurtured by superpowers in my life."

He picked the tomato and popped it into his mouth, just a chew, and his eyes brightened, "It's delicious, much sweeter than regular cherry tomatoes."

At that moment.

The researchers no longer harbored any doubts.

Facts proved that Minister Yang was not bluffing.

Yang Fan bluntly offered, "Everyone, as long as you cultivate new crops, I guarantee that your bonuses will be substantial."

The HR director expertly chimed in, "The company also guarantees that the rewards will be quite generous."

The researchers all wore genuine smiles.

This wasn't a fake smile but a heartfelt one.

The morale of the entire department was instantly elevated to the highest point.

The HR director sneaked a glance at Yang Fan, suddenly realizing that this young new minister might actually be quite smart.

By merely showcasing a bit of superpower potential and making an empty promise, he easily won everyone's hearts.

Yang Fan pointed at the rice plant in the HR director's hand, assigning a task:

"This is a rice plant I discovered in an indoor farm; it has a hint of superpower potential.

"Our department's next task is to research this rice plant and cultivate better rice varieties."

*

The morning sun first appeared.

Shapudian.

"Splash～"

The waves roared again and again.

Yang Fan leisurely sat on a beach chair, gazing at the distant sea.

He wasn't looking at the seascape.

But at a silhouette.

It was a teenager.

This boy was running wildly on the sea with his feet on the water.

It was obvious.

This was a superpower user.

Even from several hundred meters away, Yang Fan could clearly hear the boy's joyful laughter.

"Haha..."

The boy suddenly waved his hands, and a jet of water "swooshed" out from the sea.

A sea fish was caught, carried by the water jet, and shot into the sky.

"Oh!"

The boy couldn't help but cheer.

Yang Fan muttered under his breath, "So even the 'famous' Sea Knight has such innocent moments."

The phrase "famous and renowned" does not refer to the present, but rather to the dream realm.

This young man, named "Trey," later grew to become a Knight Level powerhouse.

This kid's future 'god-making' battle was when he transformed into a sea giant a thousand meters tall and single-handedly killed a giant sea beast.

The entire Canglan Star witnessed this scene through a live broadcast.

Since then, Trey gained the title of "Sea Warrior."

However, by that time, Trey was no longer a Shapudian.

This kid lived in a village near the Jin Kongque border, and soon after he awakened, the Jin Kongque People came offering all kinds of benefits, enticing him to join Jin Kongque.

This is the sorrow of a small, impoverished country.

Even if a remarkable superpower user emerges, they often cannot keep them.

"Whew~"

The sound of a spiraling propeller descended from the sky.

Trey stopped running on the sea surface, looked up at the sky, and curiously watched a helicopter fly over.

Yang Fan turned his head and glanced, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "They've indeed come."

On the side of the helicopter, a Jin Kongque flag was prominently painted.

Soon.

The helicopter landed.

Several Jin Kongque People jumped off the helicopter, shouting and yelling towards the boy on the sea.

Trey observed for a while, feeling that the other party had no malice, then walked over on the rolling waves.

The Jin Kongque People watched this scene, their expressions becoming increasingly joyous.

Then.

The two sides met.

The Jin Kongque People babbled on, beginning to persuade the boy to join Jin Kongque.

Trey listened, his eyes glowing, obviously tempted.

"Ahem!"

Suddenly a cough rang out.

Both sides negotiating were all startled.

Trey looked around warily, locking his gaze on an indistinct area not far away.

He instinctively felt that there seemed to be a strange aura there.

Yang Fan glanced at the boy, couldn't help but silently praise: "Worthy of being the future Sea Warrior."

He concentrated his thoughts and released the Spirit Concealment state.

At this moment.

The Jin Kongque People were so scared that they retreated repeatedly, a look of fear in their eyes.

They already recognized, that this strange figure surrounded by ripples, was the terrifying Great Xia Ghost.

Trey, however, was alright, standing in place curiously observing Yang Fan.

Yang Fan politely greeted: "Good morning, everyone!"

He used the Spirit Communication superpower, his voice directly resonating in everyone's mind.

The Jin Kongque People were even more terrified.

Trey was more curious.

Yang Fan looked at the boy and straightforwardly asked: "Great Xia is a very magnificent country. Are you willing to join Great Xia?"

The Jin Kongque People were very upset hearing this.

Clearly, they had arrived first, but now Great Xia People wanted to cut in.

But due to the overwhelming menace of Great Xia Ghost, they dared not utter a word.

The boy did not speak, glancing at Yang Fan, then at the Jin Kongque People, seemingly caught in a state of indecision.

Yang Fan continued to persuade: "In the future, Canglan Star will experience many disasters and encounter countless monsters.

"Being with true powerhouses is the wisest choice.

"Not long ago, the Jin Kongque People lingered in Shapudian unwilling to leave, we used a little means, and they were scared into obediently rolling away.

"In front of Great Xia People, they're a bunch of utter cowards."

The faces of several Jin Kongque People grew increasingly unpleasant hearing this.

But this was ironclad truth; they couldn't even think of how to refute.

Jin Kongque People forcibly established three bases in Shapudian, suddenly suffered an attack, were made to flee in a sorry state, and retreated as if escaping for their lives.

Yang Fan's words weren't done: "Great Xia has a population of 1.8 billion, with over 27,000 superpower users.

"Jin Kongque has a population of 1.4 billion, not much less than Great Xia.

"But the number of their superpower users is barely close to 14,000, almost only half of Great Xia's.

"Great Xia's high-level power is far stronger than Jin Kongque.

"Even if Jin Kongque's ten strongest superpower users joined forces, they might not withstand a punch from me."

The eyes of several Jin Kongque People revealed a notable look of humiliation.

Yet they still dared not make a sound.

Yang Fan glanced at the helicopter parked in the distance and decided to demonstrate some power.

He clenched his fist, his right arm flashed with a dark gold hue, and he punched towards the helicopter.

The next moment.

An astonishing sight unfolded.

"Boom!"

Only a muffled sound was heard.

The helicopter weighing 10 tons seemed to be struck by an invisible giant club.

The helicopter instantly deformed, then flew up, soaring over a hundred meters away.

Countless shattered parts scattered everywhere, some even flew over a dozen kilometers away.

"Whoosh!"

The helicopter wreckage caught fire.

The Jin Kongque People were dumbfounded watching.

Such terrifying power truly exceeded the limits of their imagination.

They gazed at Yang Fan as if seeing an ancient mythical beast.

The boy was also stunned.

Yang Fan asked again: "Are you willing to stand alongside the strong, or stick with the weak?"

Trey answered without hesitation: "I am willing to become a Great Xia Person!"

Yang Fan smiled with satisfaction: "Very good!"

Great Xia possesses vast maritime territory; having an additional Sea Warrior in the future can better guard the territorial waters.

Yang Fan looked at the Jin Kongque People, his tone becoming extremely cold: "I won't kill you. Go back and tell your officers, Shapudian is not a place you should come to."

His eyes revealed murderous intent: "Otherwise, if I meet one, I'll slay one!"

A few Jin Kongque People scrambled and fled.
