At the prime hour on the second night after the interview, NBC TV station put their hit movie on hold and played a special program for two hours and forty minutes, showing the interview with the founder of the LS Group that was barely edited to millions of viewers, sparking heated debate among the people as expected.

After that, all of the TV stations of various sizes in Noah began to hastily produce countless related programs from this interview that could be said as a ‘one-man show’ and keep heating up the news. The trend that was not cooling down became hotter and hotter.

By adopting a wait-and-see attitude, NBC TV, which took the lead at the beginning and spared no expense to dispatch adventurous journalists to Shrimp World No. 2 to shoot real-life documentaries by heating-up the exclusive interview, defeating all of its opponents in one fell swoop, and dominating the market to become the most influential media company in the nation.

At this time, Zhang Lisheng, who caused this hot news frenzy, had long gone out of public sight by every conceivable means, living quietly in the experimental oasis 150 kilometers away from New Washington A.

In a special, spacious and simple prefabricated house that had scale-like black solar panel equipped on the roof and exterior wall painted in white situated on the side of a creek meandering through the entire oasis, a young Asian man was sitting on a rocking chair drinking iced Coke while swiping the screen of the tablet computer on his knees with a pleasant smile on his face.

“After the Shrimp B1 Island documentary shot by NBC was broadcasted, the unique civilization that has a perfect blend of the primitive and modern world of the Wizard Li people has attracted too much attention. The highest rating of the show has even exceeded an incredible percentage of 70%. Even Lego toys have urgently launched a Wizard Li Island toy series. Boss, those magical warships that are ‘alive’ in the sky, and the dwarves wearing metal armor riding on the giant spiders with a long spear in their left hand and a firearm in their right side along with a long saber beside their waist on the land have captured the hearts of countless of Noah people. They like their new friends,” A short and fat middle-aged man sitting by the window chimed in with a low voice when he saw the happy expression on the young man.

“Captured the hearts of countless Noah people…” Zhang Lisheng asked with a pondering smile on his lips, without so much as lifting his head, “Even if they knew that the compatriots of these dwarfs had looted the human gathering place in the foreign world and killed tens of thousands of our citizens several years back?”

“Yes, boss, because a great god has once taught the Earthlings that there are good and bad intelligent creatures, and we should not hate and detest them without differentiating the good and evil.” Charlie replied respectfully.

When the young man heard his industrial representative in the United States used his own words to answer his questions, he put down his tablet computer and shrugged, “That is just an excuse for human beings for their weak and despicable nature. When humans come across a weaker being, they would instinctively think of plundering, but when they come across a stronger being, they would instinctively become afraid. When they’re faced with an opponent of similar strength, they would subconsciously choose to respect each other. The strength displayed by the Wizard Li tribe happens to be neither strong nor weak, and this is the real reason the situation could naturally develop to this stage today.”

“There’s nobody who is much smarter than you, boss.” It took a few seconds for Charlie to digest these words in silence before he finally put on an awe-filled expression and complimented, “CBS (Columbia Broadcasting System) and ABC (American Broadcasting Company) have invited you for an interview several times now, do you think you need to warm up the human’s despicable and timid nature?”

Zhang Lisheng pondered for a moment and shook his head. He stood up and walked to the window as a deep brilliance flashed across his eyes, “Have you ever played Dominoes before, Charlie? When a complete Dominoes array is presented in front of you, you don’t have to randomly exert any force if you want to make the large Domino tile arranged at the very last to fall. You only have to naturally push the first small Domino tile in front. Since I’ve already knocked down the first Domino tile, all I need to do now is to wait…”

A long stretch of yellow sand was faintly visible behind the trees outside the window. A helicopter flying from the distance was slowly approaching. When it finally landed, it set off a strong wind that caused all the fine-breed grasses newly planted on the edge of the oasis to lodge.

As soon as the plane stabilized, a sturdy person dressed in a suit and leather shoes jumped out of the cabin and ran towards the prefab house before shouting loudly the moment he opened the door, “Boss, I bring great news for you. The final negotiation between LS and the New York state government has been completed now. They’ve accepted the increase of the price and agreed to sell you the desert on the south side of New York A. In this way, all of our sandy lands are now connected as one, with an estimated area of 171,223 square kilometers.”

“Oh, it’s indeed great news. Looks like I can provoke the next ‘big news’.” Zhang Lisheng’s eyes lit up as he said in an unexpectedly shocked tone. Then, he turned to look at his industrial representative out of the blue and asked, “Charlie, how many large excavators are there in Noah World right now?”Read more chapter at vipnovel

“I-I’ve never calculated it before, boss, but since the government has built more than ten oasis cities in Noah in just a few years, there must be a lot of large construction machinery here,” Charlie was taken aback for a while before answering.

“This is the second good news I heard in just the short span of several minutes. You will now return to New Washington A immediately and rent 50—no, this will be too conspicuous. Erm, 10 it is then. Rent 10 large excavators and drive them to the experimental oasis. I have something important to do with them. As for you, Edward, your next most important task is to study all the federal legal provisions regarding the rules of employment of private land. Oh yeah, don’t inform any of your subordinates about this first, understand?”

The hint given by these two tasks of hiring excavators and studying the details of the employment of private land workers were already apparent. The president and legal officer of LS Group were stunned at the same time. They opened their mouth, seemingly wanting to ask something, but in the end, they just said in a respectful bow. “Yes, boss!” and turned around to leave the prefab house.

Looking through the window into the distance at the two of them who gradually walked away to board the helicopter, Zhang Lisheng smiled faintly and drew the curtain together. Slowly closing his eyes, his hands that were hanging in between his legs began to swing gently and rhythmically.

With the gentle swing of his hands, ripples began to appear on the small river ditches across the oasis without any wind.

These water ripples seemed inconspicuous, to the point where the busy workers nearby were not even aware of it. However, if one followed the ripples and dived into the water to cross the thick layer of water that was gradually deepening in color from bright aqua blue to dark black color, one would find that the source of the emergence of the ripples was actually a tiny crack that had penetrated tens of meters into the deep rock layer on the deep crust.

Through this crack, the rapid flow of water in a vast and marginal underground lake was affecting the flow of surface water. Under the turbulent lake water, an enormous fossil egg the size of ten flat-lying ‘Earth Ridges’ Mount Everest inlaid at the bottom of the underground lake had its wet moss coat washed away by the rapid water, revealing its actual earthy color.

After that, streams of clear lake water began to sweep up the mud and charged towards the eggshell before infiltrating into the giant egg. Several minutes later, Zhang Lisheng, who was standing in the prefab room, shook his head with regret and murmured, “If I supplement this tiny trace of life too vigorously, it would be killed. Looks like I can only wake it up slowly. I really wonder what kind of monster such a huge biological embryo would breed. Don’t tell me it’s the Taotie that almost wiped out the Atlanteans last time? Is it its ancestor that turned the Noah World into desert? If I were really so lucky in hatching a Taotie, I’d have an unbeatable killing tool in the future. Then again, how should I control and raise a monster that can swallow planets? I can’t possibly put a collar on it and bring it to the universe to feed stars to it. Besides, I’m afraid it would cause a catastrophe for the entire Colossal World if it lost control…”

As the young man was speaking to himself, his expression gradually became depressed, but he realized that he was worrying for nothing.

Shaking his head, he fell into a moment of silence before bursting out into a chuckle and murmuring one last time to himself, “Things will eventually sort themselves out. It’s not even a guarantee that this big ‘chicken egg’ can be hatched, so why should I think so much?”

The young man removed his distractions and began to change the underground structure within a hundred miles of the experimental oasis in accordance with the plan he had long thought about.

The best breakthrough point was naturally the small crack in the rock layer deep underground. Driven by his divine power, the water in the underground lake continuously surged and smashed the crevice to make it larger while setting off the dry soil layer.

After a while, a considerable amount of moist soil seemed to be driven by a pair of invisible giant hands as it continued to rise upward, stirring and disintegrating the foundation of the sand layer.

At this time, the Leather World that the copper buckles clamped and tied on the pants by the young man had floated in the air on itself and slowly unfolded.

The innumerable amount of the power of faith shot out by using the scale as a pipe, before turning into an aquamarine and khaki brilliance to wrap Zhang Lisheng in it.

With the Wizard Li God as the center, the power of god flowed in the surrounding space of thousands of meters around him, giving off a fluctuation that would inevitably raise the alerts of the entire city or even the whole Noah World to capture him had he been in either of the oasis cities.

However, everything was calm and regular without any abnormalities in the depth of the barren desert.

Time passed by slowly. The sunset in the west and rose in the east. In just a blink of an eye, the next morning arrived. Ten large excavators guided by an off-road jeep trudged hundreds of miles of sand in the arduous journey and reached the edge of the experimental oasis.

The moment the convoy stopped, Charlie, who was wearing a straw hat to cover the sun, jumped out of the dusty jeep and shouted in encouragement at the listless excavator drivers who were looking around. “We’ve reached our destination, guys. You all can start your work after lunch. Work hard, and I guarantee that all of you will get a satisfactory reward.”
