Once the Dragon Plum Family took out a large amount of resources in Traveling Dragon Palace, the Dragon Plum Family would become the focus of the major factions in Diverse City. Moreover, in the face of the sudden rise of the Dragon Plum Family, there would most likely be many factions targeting the Dragon Plum Family.

Since Lin Yuan was not prepared to invest too much manpower and resources in Diverse City, it would be very difficult for him to protect the Dragon Plum Family which had become the target of public criticism.

Compared to the Dragon Plum Family, Traveling Dragon Palace which was already the most superior-class faction in Diverse City, had long stood out and had a dominant position in Diverse City.

Furthermore, Traveling Dragon Palace had a strong intention to expand and they had already opened up their territory in Extreme Wood City. This showed that Traveling Dragon Palace was very ambitious and aggressive.

Traveling Dragon Palace’s attitude toward the outside world was already clear. If Lin Yuan could be the driving force behind Traveling Dragon Palace, the outside world would only pay attention to Traveling Dragon Palace itself and not Sky City behind it.

If Traveling Dragon Palace was in a thriving state, it would be difficult for Lin Yuan to reach an agreement with it.

But now that Traveling Dragon Palace was in a difficult situation, Traveling Dragon Palace needed a strong teammate. It was very easy for Lin Yuan to come into contact with the upper echelons of Traveling Dragon Palace.

Whether it was through Sun Yin, who had already become a Grade 5 Creator or Wan Ying, the person in charge of Fortune Treasure Palace and Diverse City, Lin Yuan could do it.

However, Lin Yuan was not in a hurry to interact with Traveling Dragon Palace because he only knew about the Traveling Dragon Palace’s predicament and did not know anything else about it.

Lin Yuan needed to understand Traveling Dragon Palace before making a decision.

Sun Yin smiled when he saw Lin Yuan’s message. It was great that Lin Yuan wanted him to expose his Grade 5 Creator identity. This way, he could be more high-profile.

If Lin Yuan did not expose his identity as a Grade 5 Creator, he would have to be as cautious as possible.

In the evening, Lin Yuan bought a large batch of resources from Fortune Treasure Palace. He used spirit qi crystals and heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls of various types.

Diverse City’s Fortune Treasure Palace had more collections than Treasure City’s Fortune Treasure Palace and the level of resources was also higher.

Wan Ying’s authority was higher than Zhan Lu’s, so she could make the decision to take out more precious resources.

Compared to producing faith, hundreds of thousands of people evolved in grade every day in faith country, allowing Morbius to collect a large number of spirit qi crystals.

Lin Yuan now had billions of spirit qi crystals in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. He spent nearly 10 million spirit qi crystals on Wan Ying this time.

However, this was nothing to Lin Yuan.

Wan Ying said to Lin Yuan excitedly, “Young Master Lin, thank you for being so willing to support me and use Creator resources to trade for so many resources. If there’s anything you want me to do in the future, just ask. I’ll definitely do my best to satisfy your request. When he heard that you had come to Diverse City, Lord Ling decided to meet you here. He instructed me to treat you well. If you have any requests, just let me know!”

With that, Wan Ying instructed the four receptionists she had sent over to move many rare flowers and plants to the room and prepare many superior-class delicacies.

Chu Ci said while drinking the rose-pink juice that Wan Ying had just brought over,

“Big Brother, I don’t know what kind of heavenly treasures are added to this fruit juice but I feel much clearer after taking the first sip. The fatigue in my soul has also been washed away. The key is that this fruit juice tastes extremely good. It’s been a long time since I’ve drunk such delicious fruit juice!”

Chu Ci enjoyed the fruit juice very much. Previously, she had always felt that as long as she worked hard, she would be able to help Lin Yuan sooner or later. But now, she gradually gave up on this idea.

Firstly, Lin Yuan was living too well in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. No one was looking for trouble with him so she had no chance to help Lin Yuan.

Secondly, Chu Ci realized that the gap between her and Lin Yuan was too big. No matter how hard she tried, she could not make up for it.

Chu Ci understood this but she would still work hard to improve herself. She would not embarrass Lin Yuan by falling behind among Sky City’s core members.

If Lin Yuan knew what Chu Ci was thinking, he would definitely be very gratified.

Lin Yuan had worked so hard to develop Sky City in order to create a good living environment for Chu Ci. As such, Lin Yuan did not wish for Chu Ci to suffer so much. All she had to do was enjoy life under his protection!

“Chu Ci, if you like this fruit juice, I’ll get Wan Ying to prepare more for you when we leave Diverse City. I think even if we ask Wan Ying for the formula of this fruit juice, she will probably give it to us. You can drink as much as you want in the future! We can also hire Gourmets who are good at using spiritual ingredients to cook delicacies and bring them to North of the Lonely River to improve the food of the core members of Sky City.”

There were many professions in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, and Gourmet was one of them.

Gourmets could use many spiritual ingredients to make delicacies with many benefits, but these Gourmets were fundamentally different from Creators who concocted potions.

“As these Gourmets could not stimulate the effects of these ingredients to the greatest extent like Creators, they could only stimulate the taste of the ingredients and make them more delicious.

This made the Gourmet’s status in the Sky Beyond the Clouds not high. They were far inferior to Creators.

However, an outstanding Gourmet was definitely very rich because outstanding Gourmets served experts and large factions.

After the initial stage of Sky City’s development, Lin Yuan felt that he had to seek more benefits for the core members of Sky City.

Chu Ci was moved by Lin Yuan’s words.

“Big Brother, I see that Diverse City is very modern. I think there should be a talent market. We can go to the talent market and see if we can find a more outstanding Gourmet! Apart from Gourmets, we can also recruit more lifestyle-class spirit qi professionals like Spirit Craftsmen and Weavers.

“When I was in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, I always heard Uncle Hu complaining that he had too few Spirit Craftsmen under him and that there were many things he could not do. Why don’t we take this opportunity to help Uncle Hu solve the problem?

“Moreover, there are so many people in Sky City that we can’t rely on Sister Wen Yu alone to make clothes. I know that as long as we speak to Manager Wan, she can help and recommend many people to us. But how can someone recommended by others be better than someone we choose ourselves?”

Lin Yuan nodded. Indeed, Lin Yuan preferred his own choices over those recommended by others.

“In any case, we’re going to walk around Diverse City tomorrow. When the time comes, get Wan Ying to arrange for someone to bring us to the talent market in Diverse City to take a look.There are many talent markets in Diverse City. It’s very difficult for us to find a suitable talent market ourselves. At that time, we can get the people from Fortune Treasure Palace to bring us directly to the highest-end talent market and choose talents there.

“There are a few feys from Fortune Treasure Palace that you can contract. Since you’re not in a hurry to contract a fey, why don’t you wait a little longer?

“Apart from selling the blessed land, Traveling Dragon Palace has also taken out many foundation-grade feys. If one of these foundation-grade feys is suitable for you, it will greatly increase your limit in the future.”

Chu Ci knew that Lin Yuan would always make the best arrangements for her so she was not worried about the fey she was going to contract.

Tomorrow, Lin Yuan would bring Chu Ci to Diverse City’s high-end talent market to apply for a job. This made Chu Ci feel very excited and novel.

Wan Ying basically served Lin Yuan the entire day and appeared in the special honor guest’s living area many times.

This caused quite a stir in Diverse City’s Fortune Treasure Palace.

Because of the trade fair held by Traveling Dragon Palace, there were quite a number of large faction members who went to Traveling Dragon Palace recently.

Many of these large factions’ members lived in Fortune Treasure Palace and Wan Ying’s attitude toward them was far less enthusiastic than her attitude toward Lin Yuan.

Everyone knew very well how the people from the Fortune Treasure Palace usually handled things. These factions did not feel dissatisfied because of Wan Ying’s attitude. Instead, they knew that a big shot must have come to the Fortune Treasure Palace to make Wan Ying behave like this.

These special honor guests all wanted to befriend a faction that Wan Ying valued so much.

Relying on the fact that they usually got along well with Wan Ying, many factions looked for Wan Ying and hoped that she could help introduce them.

If these special honor guests were to find Wan Ying for help, Wan Ying would be willing to help them no matter what.

However, Lin Yuan’s identity was too special so Ling Muzhuo had deliberately instructed her to receive him well. He could not let Lin Yuan feel even the slightest discomfort.

Wan Ying could tell that Lin Yuan was not keen on socializing. It would not be good if she rashly led these special honor guests to interact with Lin Yuan and made him unhappy!

Wan Ying could only reject the requests of the other special honor guests. However, Wan Ying’s actions made the other special honor guests even more curious.

The next morning, Lin Yuan found Wan Ying and asked her to arrange for two people to be his and Chu Ci’s guides.

Wan Ying immediately sent two receptionists to entertain Lin Yuan and Chu Ci and asked them to act as guides.

The receptionists were in the middle of Fortune Treasure Palace. In Fortune Treasure Palace, receptionists were second only to Wan Ying, the person in charge.

If Wan Ying usually asked the receptionists to be the guides on any other day, these receptionists would definitely not be willing.

However, the receptionists Wan Ying had sent had witnessed Lin Yuan’s trade with Fortune Treasure Palace yesterday. Hence, when Wan Ying was assigning this task this morning, the four receptionists had fought for it right in front of Wan Ying.

Wan Ying looked at the four extremely arrogant receptionists under her and thought to herself.

Although these receptionists are arrogant, they’re not stupid at all.

They knew that receiving Lin Yuan was an opportunity.

Since it was an opportunity, Wan Ying would definitely arrange such an opportunity for her subordinates who were closer and more obedient to her.

Wan Ying looked at the two happy receptionists in front of her and said seriously, “Ah Qian, Ah Tao, the two of you are my trusted aides. Among all the receptionists, I value the two of you the most and treat you the best. This opportunity has been given to the two of you. The two of you must seize this opportunity and serve Young Master Lin as well as possible. Young Master Lin is someone that even Palace Master Ling has to show some respect to—especially you, Ah Tao.

“You have to be careful in front of Young Master Lin. Don’t speak nonsense and make Young Master Lin unhappy! Otherwise, if Palace Master Ling blames you, I won’t be able to protect you!”

Wan Ying had always been kind to Ah Qian and Ah Tao and treated them as though they were her younger sisters.

Hearing such serious instructions for the two of them, Ah Qian and Ah Tao hurriedly promised Wan Ying, “Sister Wan, Ah Tao and I know our limits. We definitely won’t do anything that will make Young Master Lin unhappy. Sister Wan, you’ve always known that I’m a timid person. How would I dare to displease Young Master Lin? It’s just that this Young Master Lin is strange. Why is he going to a talent market for no reason? If Young Master Lin has any needs in terms of personnel, just tell us. We’ll recommend someone to him!”

Wan Ying was already a little worried about Ah Tao. Now that she heard what Ah Tao said, Wan Ying frowned tightly.

“Ah Tao, you can’t say this in front of Young Master Lin. You just have to do what Young Master Lin asks you to do. We don’t need to make any suggestions. The two of you should start preparing. If you do well this time. I’ll put in a good word for you on Palace Master Ling’s side.

“If the two of you can be evaluated as A-rank, the two of you can go to the local area to be the managers of Fortune Treasure Palace and manage the area yourselves. It’s much better than the two of you following me as receptionists! I’ve always treated the two of you as my younger sisters.

“Naturally, I hope that the two of you can develop better. Good luck. If the two of you don’t get the evaluation this time, you probably won’t have another chance in the next thousand years.”

When Ah Tao and Ah Qian heard Wan Ying’s words, they could not help but feel ardor and zeal coursing through their blood.

The ultimate goal of all the receptionists in Fortune Treasure Palace was to become the manager of a branch of Fortune Treasure Palace. However, only one percent of the receptionists had such an opportunity.

Ah Qian and Ah Tao did not have such an opportunity previously. Apart from Wan Ying’s nurturing and Ling Muzhuo’s appreciation, they also had to thank Lin Yuan for coming here.

Otherwise, Ah Qian would have a chance to become the manager of the Fortune Treasure Palace while Ah Tao would not have such a chance at all.

Ah Tao and Ah Qian were now treating Lin Yuan with the utmost importance.

Seeing that Ah Qian and Ah Tao were a little nervous, Wan Ying smiled in satisfaction.

Wan Ying really hoped that Ah Qian and Ah Tao would become the managers of Fortune Treasure Palace.
