The relocation of the herbal research institute had huge implications.
Although Huang Juyun had agreed with Zhang Che’s proposal to shift the herbal research institute south to better facilitate the growth of the spiritual herbs and production of spiritual honey, he had to make the proper arrangements.
If they were really going to shift operations, with so many spiritual herbs, research equipment, and so on, there were too many things to note. Also, they had to take into consideration the problem of the research staff’s livelihood.
There were many commoners and low-tier beastmasters among the herbal research institute’s staff. Their families were all in Bei Du; if the herbal research institute was to relocate south, it wouldn’t be easy for them to return to Bei Du.
As such, the Huang family had to seek the opinion of the research staff. If they were willing to move south together with their families, there would be even more logistics to take care of!
Moreover, the most important thing was that as the herbal field expanded in the future, once the production of spiritual honey reached a certain level, some other factions or experts would surely be drawn to it by greed.
How were they going to ensure the herbal research institute’s security was tight enough to deter anyone from having any ideas on them? That was a huge matter!
As a result, with so many things added together, they would need half a month’s time at the very least to get it done, and that was assuming this matter was being taken care of swiftly!
Of course, Zhang Che wasn’t going to just sit still and wait in Bei Du for such a long time. Coincidentally, he needed about a dozen days to break through to Tier Seven beastmaster.
Perhaps when he returned after advancing to Tier Seven beastmaster, he would make it back just in time for the relocation of the herbal research institute!
Well, it was impossible for Zhang Che to help out with this. He didn’t know much about such matters, after all. He was only planning on providing a large batch of spiritual herbs when the time came to expand the scale of the herbal field several times over!.

Huang Tielan had stayed at school tonight for self study. When Zhang Che returned home, he was dragged off by the elemental queen to play Go, and hence started a bitter night of leisure time.
The elemental queen’s skill in Go had officially reached dan-class. Of course, she was at dan-class rating for casual players. Tormenting Zhang Che was easy for her now.
——-
Pa! The elemental queen slapped a white chess piece on the chess board crisply. She showed a faint smile, looking like everything was under her control.
Zhang Che looked at it and calculated. In the end, he shook his head with a bitter expression and threw the handful of white pieces in his hand on the chessboard.
“I’m done, I’m done. There’s no chance of winning at all. There’s no point; it’s better for you to play against others on the internet!”
Zhang Che didn’t know if this was counted as reaping what he sowed. Given his pathetic chess skills, he was truly being led around by the nose by the elemental queen from start to finish. He couldn’t find a single opportunity.
“Master, you must be letting this servant win, right?” The elemental queen smiled, ignoring Zhang Che, who had just been struck with a hundred thousand damage critical hit. She immediately opened up her personal terminal and navigated to an online Go platform to look for other opponents.
“You play on your own, then. I’m going to sleep. I still have to wake up early and go to the beast world tomorrow.” Zhang Che shook his head once more and returned to his room. After a quick wash, he laid down on his bed.
As for the elemental queen, she would have no problem even if she didn’t sleep for a whole month straight. With her chess addiction acting up right now, she’d surely be playing through the night!
——-
Chen Lishan woke up early in the morning and washed up in a hurry. She looked at her personal terminal, a hint of hesitation flashing across her face.
It was her birthday today. She had already invited a few young teachers from school she got along well with for a little birthday gathering at her apartment.
She didn’t invite her three best friends in Bei Mei. They were truly too far away. Also, she came to Hua Xia to begin a new life, and didn’t want anything to do with her past.
-But, should I inform him? If it wasn’t for Brother Sun, I might have already been captured by the pharmaceutical company my brother was working at…-
After thinking for a moment, Chen Lishan grit her teeth and made a call to a number on her personal terminal she had never contacted before.
—–
Zhang Che had just got out of his car. He was about to enter the airport and pilot Dijiang-hao to his next destination.
Suddenly, he felt vibrations inside his clothes.
Zhang Che furrowed his brow slightly. He quickly fished out a personal terminal from his shirt. It was the personal terminal he applied for in the Bei Mei region as Sun Che. Only Chen Lishan had this number.
Since this personal terminal was vibrating, it went without saying that Chen Lishan was calling him!
Zhang Che had never contacted Chen Lishan after he brought her back with him to Hua Xia. Other than bumping into her once at Bei Du University and learning that she was now working as an English teacher there, he had no idea how she was doing.
Chen Lishan had never contacted him, either. She probably didn’t want to disturb his life.
-Why would she call me all of a sudden? Did something happen?- Zhang Che quickly picked up the call.
He noticed a slight hesitation in Chen Lishan before she asked, “Brother Sun, are you free today?”
Zhang Che thought for a moment, then said, “Probably. Is something the matter?”
“It’s my birthday today, and I’m hosting a birthday gathering at noon at my place. Can you come? Oh, and I invited a few colleagues as well.”
Adding in the last portion of her message, Chen Lishan was obviously afraid that Zhang Che would misunderstand and only added it in as an afterthought. She knew Zhang Che had his own life and was afraid he would misunderstand her intention.
Zhang Che wasn’t thinking so much, however. He mumbled to himself for two seconds before agreeing. “Sure. Send me your address. I’ll be there by noon.”
Chen Lishan had obviously mustered her courage to invite him. Zhang Che didn’t want to turn down her kind intentions. Thinking back, it was all thanks to her that he had obtained the healing-type Unicorn and cured his mother’s illness in one go. Otherwise, heavens knew how long Sun Lan’s illness would have dragged on for!
“Ah! That’s great! Thank you, Brother Sun!” Chen Lishan chirp. She was obviously very happy that Zhang Che had agreed to come to her birthday gathering.
——
After ending the call with Chen Lishan, Zhang Che turned back and walked out of the airport.
He wasn’t in a rush to enter the beast world today. He’d just take it a little easy. Speaking of which, he hadn’t assumed the Sun Che persona in a long time. Zhang Che was afraid he had forgotten what he looked like back then. It was the only thing he could bring over into this world.
Right, he was attending a birthday party! He couldn’t go without a present, or it’d be very rude!
Just as he was thinking of what present he should prepare, Zhang Che suddenly noticed the elemental queen was looking at him with a weird gaze.
“What?” Zhang Che found it strange. This humanoid pet’s gaze looked like she had a lot to say.
“Master, you mustn’t have an affair, or I’ll tell Miss Tielan!” the elemental queen said with a straight face, looking very serious.
