Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

Yang Fan was sitting in a seven-seater business van, which had traveled several hundred meters and made a left turn.

The unexpected event suddenly occurred.

"Woo!"

Accompanied by a ghostly wail, the airflow suddenly became fierce.

The more than two-ton hybrid business van actually began to sway slightly in the wind.

"Shush! Shush!"

Intense sounds came from the roof of the car.

The driver, Old Liu, looked visibly shaken.

Chairman Huo Xianglin was still clueless about the situation, asking, "Old Liu, is it raining?"

Old Liu appeared a bit tense: "Chairman Huo, it's not rain."

"Shush! Shush!"

The sounds became even denser.

The female secretary, Ling Shuiling, had already seen what was outside and spoke with a tremor in her voice: "Chairman Huo, it seems like black sand."

She swallowed and emphasized: "A lot, a lot of sand."

Huo Xianglin finally realized something was wrong: "What's going on?"

The atmosphere inside the car turned tense.

Driver Old Liu dared not drive fast, reducing the speed to around thirty kilometers per hour.

Yang Fan, however, remained calm: "This should be the influence of the Primordial World, but it's no big deal."

His voice carried a peculiar power.

Upon hearing this, the others noticeably calmed down.

Yang Fan continued: "Chairman Huo, the weather is acting up, let's cancel tonight's celebratory banquet."

Huo Xianglin instinctively complied with the order: "Alright, we'll reschedule it."

Yang Fan went on giving instructions: "The windy and sandy weather is expected to continue, Old Liu, please take us home first."

He indeed had little experience dealing with ladies, but he was well-versed in handling this kind of situation.

Compared to the terrifying Primordial Monsters, this was a small affair.

The driver responded with an "Aye": "Okay."

A few seconds later.

Yang Fan suddenly shouted: "Brake!"

Old Liu instinctively slammed the brakes.

The next second.

A dark object, seemingly a piece of iron sheet, rapidly fell from the sky, landing right in front of the business van.

"Bang!"

A muffled crash sounded.

Old Liu was utterly shocked.

He was well aware that if he hadn't braked just now, that piece of iron sheet would have hit the car body.

Huo Xianglin, Ling Shuiling, and others, also turned pale with fright.

Yang Fan remained unfazed: "It's the iron sheet from a blown-off roof, let's keep going."

Old Liu acknowledged, pressing the gas pedal more cautiously than ever.

Ling Shuiling glanced at her superior's side profile and suddenly felt as if she was seeing him in a new light.

Initially, she thought her superior was just a lazy young man, still wearing the typical student aura.

Now she realized she had completely misunderstood.

Facing danger with such composure and being able to calmly give orders, was this something an ordinary person could do?

Clearly not!

Yang Fan quietly gazed out the window.

He knew all too well that today marked the eve of alien objects descending, the time when Canglan Star was most severely affected.

Although Linjiang City was several thousand kilometers from the drop point, so much sand had fallen here.

*

Six in the evening.

Due to the wind and sand, the sky had already turned completely dark.

The business van drove directly into the Yue Bay District, parking under Building Twelve.

Yang Fan actually thought it was unnecessary.

But Huo Xianglin insisted on doing so.

"Click!"

The car door opened.

A gust of cold wind, mixed with sand, immediately rushed in.

Huo Xianglin covered his nose with his hand and kindly reminded, "Minister Yang, be sure to stay safe."

Yang Fan acknowledged and stepped out of the business van.

The business van door closed, and it drove away slowly.

Yang Fan turned around and met a charming face full of surprise.

It was the long-legged sister Zhao Xiaoying, carrying a piece of frozen meat with her right hand.

The girl had just noticed the business van bearing the "Celestial Star Agriculture" emblem and heard the warm farewells from the people inside.

Zhao Xiaoying initiated the conversation: "Long time no see!"

Although they were neighbors living on different floors, they hadn't seen each other for the past week, so "long time no see" wasn't just an empty greeting.

Yang Fan glanced at the frozen meat and smiled, "Did you buy this meat at the free market?"

Zhao Xiaoying nodded: "These days, the wind and sand are heavy, so the free market moved to the underground garage of the neighboring community."

She paused and continued, "No wonder I haven't seen you in the community much lately."

Yang Fan chuckled: "I've been cooped up at home for too long, so I found a new job."

The two chatted as they walked shoulder to shoulder towards the stairwell.

It wasn't that they didn't want to take the elevator, but the community was restricting electricity, and the elevator consumed too much power, so it was temporarily shut down.

Zhao Xiaoying smiled wryly: "Minister Yang, you shouldn't be an ordinary person by now, right?"

Yang Fan honestly said: "I was lucky to grasp a bit of superpower potential related to plants and got a job at a new agriculture company."

Zhao Xiaoying suddenly understood: "No wonder!"

She suddenly pursed her lips and smiled: "I've always had a feeling that you weren't just an ordinary fishmonger."

Yang Fan also laughed: "You're on the verge of awakening your superpower, right?"

He immediately added: "I've heard you kicking at home, and the sound isn't ordinary."

In recent days, he had heard "bam bam" explosions at night, which weren't the sounds made by a normal person kicking.

Zhao Xiaoying nodded gently, "It should be soon."

She casually mentioned an amusing incident, "The day before yesterday, I gave a phantom kick towards a piece of paper, and it actually tore. Xiaolong hasn't dared to look me in the eye for several days now."

Yang Fan said, "That's the power brought by the superpower."

He took another careful look at the Long legged Sister and concluded, "The power is surging through your entire body, you're very likely to awaken in the next two days."

In his heart, he added: Ninety-nine percent sure it's tomorrow.

He had secretly conducted several experiments on the Long legged Sister, greatly stimulating her superpower potential; otherwise, it wouldn't have been surprising if it took another year or two.

Zhao Xiaoying was not too surprised, "This is much faster than I expected."

Yang Fan changed the subject, "When you join the Jiuzhou Legion, they'll probably value you a lot."

On one hand, his experiments improved the Long legged Sister's superpower potential, and on the other hand, her talent was indeed not bad.

He privately assessed that the superpower she was about to awaken would be of an upper middle level.

Zhao Xiaoying laughed, "Thanks for your kind words."

She thought for a moment and said, "At that time, we might not live in Yue Bay District anymore."

Yang Fan nodded, "The Jiuzhou Legion will settle the families of superpower users, and the conditions in the Capital City are better."

He gave a slight smile, "I'll be moving out in a few days too."

He had already entrusted a company to help purchase a small villa; one of his purposes for joining Celestial Star Agriculture was to improve his living conditions.

Nowadays, with tight controls, buying property personally is too troublesome. It's much more convenient through a company, and he didn't even have to handle it personally.

Zhao Xiaoying understood very well, "The hearing of superpower users is too sensitive; living in a crowded community is indeed too noisy."

Then.

The two suddenly fell silent.

Because the words just now sounded like a premature farewell.

Fate can miraculously bring two people from thousands of miles apart together, but it can also separate a closely intertwined couple by thousands of miles.

Reaching the seventh floor.

Zhao Xiaoying stopped, breaking into a smile, "I think we'll meet again in the future."

Yang Fan nodded once more, "We will."

He was Mr. Ghost; to meet any superpower user in Great Xia was just a matter of saying a word.

Zhao Xiaoying sincerely said, "I wish you a bright future ahead!"

Yang Fan laughed, "Don't make the atmosphere so tense."

He was originally only skilled in fighting, not good at dealing with girls, but having a female secretary around lately had helped him improve somewhat.

Zhao Xiaoying blushed with a smile.

Yang Fan, feeling moved, said, "I'll give you a small gift as an early celebration for your awakening."

Zhao Xiaoying looked curious, "What gift?"

Yang Fan moved his left hand, and a seed appeared in it.

"Pop!"

The seed burst open.

A pale yellow orchid appeared out of thin air.

The captivating floral fragrance spread instantly.

Zhao Xiaoying was amazed to witness such a technique for the first time, "So you can do that too!"

She leaned down to sniff it, slightly surprised, "This fragrance is quite special."

Yang Fan smiled, "A little trick I recently learned."

He handed over the orchid, "Take it."

He thought, if a flower were a metaphor for a beauty, the female secretary should be a dazzling rose, while the Long legged Sister would be a graceful orchid.

Zhao Xiaoying hesitated for a moment but accepted the orchid, "Thank you!"

Yang Fan waved his hand, "No need to be so polite; it's just a flower, not worth much."

He walked to the door and added, "Oh, right, if you take good care of this flower, it should live for about a year."

The orchid contained a trace of Life Elemental Power, not an ordinary orchid, thus it could live much longer.

Zhao Xiaoying exclaimed, "That long?!"

Yang Fan opened the door, turned to gesture farewell, "See you!"

Zhao Xiaoying hesitated to speak, her expression somewhat complicated, "See you!"

"Bang!"

The door closed.

Zhao Xiaoying stood there in a daze for a while.

"Woo~"

The sound of the wind howling came from outside the hallway window.

Zhao Xiaoying came back to her senses, stepping towards the eighth floor.

In fact, she really wanted to ask: I've dreamed several times of a figure teaching me, is that figure you?

But she really couldn't bring herself to ask.

Feeling a bit wistful, Zhao Xiaoying murmured softly, "'See you' sounds nicer than 'goodbye'.

Goodbye often means never seeing again.

See you, however, leaves a chance to meet again.

Zhao Xiaoying reached her doorstep, a thought forming in her mind: "In a few days, I'll message the Fishmonger to ask where he moved, I should send him a housewarming gift."

Her mood suddenly lifted with delight, "That's settled."

*

Downstairs.

Yang Fan stood on the balcony, listening to the "rustle" of sand knocking, and suddenly felt a strange sense of perception.

Who knows how much time passed.

He came to.

Yang Fan was confused for a moment but then showed joy, "Finally sensed the third Primordial Star Formation."

He immediately closed his eyes and "saw" three clusters of faint starlight.

They were precisely three Star Marks.

Originally there were two Star Marks, plus a wisp of even fainter starlight, the latter representing an incomplete Star Mark.

Now it was finally complete.

Yang Fan silently connected with the third Star Mark with his mind, and the world in front of him changed instantly.

"Boom!"

A thunderous sound echoed in the void.

A super tornado, no less than a hundred kilometers in diameter, rampaged into his vision.
