Leaning lazily on the recliner, he took a glass of iced drink and took a sip. Wang Chen's eyes swept across the grassy plains full of wild flowers, deep into the distant forests, and straight to the top of the tall and dangerous peaks.
The wind coming from the wilderness brings with it the fragrance of earth, flowers and plants, making people intoxicated unconsciously.
I just wish time could stay at this moment forever.
This is the Holy Light Star, the most important planet in the empire, which brings together hundreds of millions of human elites, with power and influence covering one-third of the ancient galaxy.
It is also a paradise that countless people dream of!
A month ago, Wang Chen came to Holy Light Star from Emperor Weiyi and was placed in this country villa hundreds of kilometers away from Shengjing.
Wang Chen knew that this was compensation from the upper echelons of the empire to him.
The outcome of Professor Dawson's incident can only be described as child's play, but Wang Chen's identity is not so important that he needs to be given a real explanation by the higher-ups in the empire.
The power struggle and game that may be involved have nothing to do with him!
But Wang Chen is not an ordinary person after all. As the strongest superpower currently known to the empire, the conciliatory attitude of the empire's upper echelons is obvious.
Even though the villa he lives in now is not even close to the Holy Capital, you must know that there are only 100 million residents on the entire Holy Light Star, and most of them are concentrated in the Imperial Capital area.
Villas like this are very precious, and only the great nobles of the empire and those who have made special contributions to the empire are eligible to stay.
Wang Chen's villa covers an area of about ten acres, but it also includes hundreds of thousands of acres of pastoral areas, woodland and hunting grounds. During his stay, he can ride horses, hunt, fish, and harvest on this private property, and do what he likes.
If he feels lonely and bored, he can also take a maglev train and fly to the Shengjing Business District for shopping and entertainment in just ten minutes, enjoying the prosperity and glory of the imperial capital!
Of course, these benefits are not for nothing. Although the relationship with the Holy Light Research Institute has been strained, he still needs to participate in the construction of the empire's superpower system.
Despite this, the past month has still been the most comfortable and comfortable time Wang Chen has had since he came to this world.
He only needs to work for one or two hours a day, mainly communicating with people in relevant departments through the Internet, and then the rest of the time is completely at his own disposal.
Holy Light is undoubtedly the safest planet in the entire empire. Wang Chen does not need to worry about any safety issues when living here, and there are no unexpected interruptions from others.
His nearest neighbors are dozens of kilometers away!
After drinking the drink in the cup, Wang Chen closed his eyes, and his soul gradually sank into the depths of the sea of consciousness. His spiritual energy unfolded silently, expanding in all directions.
His spiritual power has reached the peak level of the Seventh Ring, and the maximum sensing distance when fully deployed exceeds 500 kilometers, which can almost reach the suburbs of the imperial capital.
But Wang Chen did not expand so far. He stopped within a hundred kilometers and then sensed the surrounding nature.
This beautiful planet is alive.
This "life" does not refer to the creatures living on the planet, but the aura of the planet itself!
With the help of spiritual energy, Wang Chen could clearly feel its rhythm, just like the beating of a human heart, continuously transmitting vast and mysterious information.
This information is currently unable to be analyzed by Wang Chen. Through such exchanges, he can integrate his own breath into the planet bit by bit to sublimate his spiritual consciousness.
Break through the limits of the Seven Rings!
This is the promotion method that Wang Chen himself understood.
Over the past month, he has entered a state of promotion and is only one opportunity away from completing his breakthrough.
But Wang Chen is not in a hurry, because natural promotion is the most perfect.
I don't know how long it took, but when Wang Chen's soul returned from the deepest part of the sea of consciousness, he opened his eyes and found that the sky was completely dark, and the sky was filled with bright stars.
"grown ups."
At this moment, a pretty maid came over and handed over a letter: "This is what Earl Linde has just said.
The invitation letter just arrived."
Earl Linde?
The image of a gentle, middle-aged nobleman instantly appeared in Wang Chen's mind.
He nodded and took the invitation, and found that it was the earl's second daughter who was holding a coming-of-age ceremony next week, and invited Wang Chen, the new neighbor, to attend the meeting at Linde Manor.
Imperial aristocrats are very particular about etiquette. Not to mention this kind of important invitation, ordinary invitations will also be sent by someone to send a letter to show solemnity and respect.
When Wang Chen first moved to this villa, his neighbor Earl Linde came to visit him personally, so he knew him well.
Such an invitation is not presumptuous.
Wang Chen put away the invitation and said, "Reply to Your Excellency the Earl for me and thank him for the invitation. I will attend in person on time."
The villa where Wang Chen lives is equipped with professional housekeepers and maids, and many things can be explained in one sentence.
The only thing Wang Chen had to consider was what kind of gift to give to the second daughter of Earl Linde.
For the imperial nobility, the coming-of-age ceremony for direct children is as important as a wedding, so the standard of the banquet is very high. Normally, nobles and officers like Wang Chen are not qualified to be invited by a count.
However, this Earl of Linde is a very interesting person. His ancestor was once a close minister of His Majesty the Emperor, and he was in charge of the cabinet. He can be said to be a very popular minister.
It's just that the descendants failed to live up to expectations, and the fifth generation of Gentlemen was killed. Now the duke family has become a count, and has dropped several ranks, but it still owns an industry on the Holy Light Star, which can be said to have a profound foundation.
Earl Linde is knowledgeable and humble, and is a good communication partner.
It was precisely because of this that Wang Chen was willing to give him face.
After thinking about it, Wang Chen simply asked the maid to call the housekeeper over.
The butler of this manor villa was over sixty years old, with gray temples but bright eyes. He asked respectfully: "Sir, what are your orders?"
"Our neighbor, Earl Lynde, invited me to attend his second daughter's coming-of-age ceremony..."
Wang Chen explained a few words, and then asked: "Do you know what kind of person this count's second daughter is?"
Gifts should not be given indiscriminately, they need to fit the identity of the other person, otherwise it will easily make a joke.
Especially for nobles, the most important thing is face!
It turned out that the housekeeper really knew: "Reporting to your lord, Lord Linde's second daughter is named Yaya..."
He told Wang Chen everything he knew about the situation.
Now Wang Chen felt confident.
Time flies so fast, and five days have passed in the blink of an eye.
That evening, Wang Chen got on the hovercraft and headed to Earl Linde's manor to attend the coming-of-age ceremony of the latter's second daughter.
