Great Xia.

Linjiang City, Lushan Prefecture.

Lushan Prefecture is a villa community located in the South District of Linjiang City, and is also where Yang Fan's new home is.

He purchased a two-story villa in Lushan Prefecture through the channels of the Celestial Star Agricultural Company.

Due to Yang Fan's cultivation of an extremely cold-resistant new variety of rice, Celestial Star One, the company reimbursed him for the villa purchase to retain talent.

Not only that.

After a discussion, the company's board also generously rewarded him with a 12% option.

Of course.

Shares are not that easy to obtain.

This year, Yang Fan directly received 2% of the shares.

In the next five years, he must cultivate a new variety with high value every year.

Correspondingly, the company grants a 2% option annually, totaling 12% of the shares.

Thus.

In just half a month.

Yang Fan transformed from a small-time worker into one of the company's major shareholders.

It was six o'clock in the morning.

Yang Fan got up early.

No choice.

The West Suburb of Linjiang City is undergoing large-scale construction of resettlement communities.

The roar of various machines had started as early as five-thirty.

In his pajamas, Yang Fan stood behind the floor-to-ceiling glass on the second-floor balcony, watching buildings rise from the ground.

According to the official plan, as many as five million people will relocate to Linjiang City from remote areas within two years.

He shook his head, "Noisy as it is, at least I can't hear the sound of people farting upstairs and downstairs."

When Lushan Prefecture was built, it was still a suburb of Linjiang City, so the building density was low.

Developers used "enjoy the tranquility" as a selling point, with a full ten meters between adjacent villas.

This was what Yang Fan valued the most.

The area of the villa isn't particularly large, just over two hundred square meters for the two floors combined.

He looked up at the ceiling, murmuring, "Not hearing Zhao Xiaoying siblings' conversation feels a bit unusual."

"Woof!"

A dog bark suddenly came from downstairs.

With his keen hearing, Yang Fan even heard the sound of the dog wagging its tail vigorously.

It heard movements upstairs and hence barked.

Yang Fan smiled slightly and shouted, "Wangzai, fry one plate of eggs from the fridge!"

"Woof!"

The dog barked again.

Wangzai is the name of a Great Xia dog.

This is a very smart dog that realized it might be sold by its previous owner and ran away, wandering in the forests of the West Suburb.

A Spirit Crow found the roaming dog and brought it to the villa as per Yang Fan's order.

Then.

Various sounds emerged.

The sound of the dog running, the fridge door opening, the gas stove igniting, the sizzling of frying, etc.

Don't doubt the question of "whether a dog can fry eggs."

An ordinary dog certainly can't do this.

But a dog that controls power, after some training, can not only fry eggs but also prepare a whole table of dishes.

"Clap!"

A light tapping sound came from downstairs again.

Yang Fan recognized it immediately as one of Wangzai's paws patting the gas stove.

Wangzai is not small in size, fully capable of reaching the stove when standing.

Without even looking, Yang Fan knew that Wangzai released a trace of force that went from the stove to the bottom of the pan.

Several eggs being fried jumped simultaneously, flipped in mid-air, and fell back into the pan.

He couldn't help but smile, "Wangzai's control over power has improved quite a bit since yesterday."

Yang Fan comfortably sat on the sofa, leisurely scrolling through his phone.

He had just glanced at the news app and exclaimed, "The authorities actually made public Eric's information."

The news about Slaughter Battleaxe Eric was today's top trending topic.

The publisher of the news was none other than Great Xia's most authoritative official media—Central Daily.

"Just yesterday, the second Warrior Level powerhouse of Great Xia, Mr. War Axe, participated in a special military operation in Shapudian.

"A superpower user team from a certain country tried to assassinate a member of the Shapudian Royal Family, and our Mr. Ghost timely detected the plot.

"In the subsequent action, Mr. War Axe displayed mighty force, completely wiping out the enemy superpower users and thwarting a certain country's plot."

Yang Fan thought, "It seems Great Xia's official stance on promotion has become much more proactive."

In the past, Great Xia officials always kept information under wraps, with many major news items often reported abroad first.

Now, there seems to be a noticeable change.

Yesterday, the official only learned about Slaughter Battleaxe, and today they've publicly revealed it in the early morning.

Yang Fan browsed through the comments, reading with great interest.

The birth of the second warrior on Canglan Star by Great Xia sent netizens into a frenzy.

Comments such as "Great Xia mighty," "My fortress of a nation," and "Great Xia is the world's strongest country" almost flooded the screen.

The news had such a broad impact that even comments from many foreign IPs were visible.

For example:

"Laughable! There's no doubt this is a laughable god-making campaign concocted by the Great Xia People, including the previous Great Xia Ghost, which proves there's no such warrior at all!"

This comment came from the Jin Kongque Kingdom's IP.

Below was a swarm of counterattacks from netizens.

"We have two warriors in Great Xia, and you have none, so you're almost going crazy with jealousy, right?"

"What's with the barking? Jin Kongque can't even handle Poisonous Mosquito, with tens of thousands dying each day recently, yet we in Great Xia have a larger population with daily deaths only in single digits."

After browsing for a while, Yang Fan noticed changes in the trending list.

A video news suddenly dropped to the second on the trending list.

When he clicked on the video, he discovered it was footage of Eric participating in the operation.

The official only selected a fragment and released it online.

This was no surprise.

Yang Fan had witnessed the battle, where Eric was too enthusiastic in killing the Carmenians.

This guy would swing an axe and cleave the opponent into a dozen pieces, spraying blood like it was free.

The superpower users following the action were all watching with their hearts thumping, fearing the big guy would get too excited and cut them too.

They were originally prepared for a tough battle, even ready for sacrifice.

However.

These people ended up merely as spectators with no chance to intervene.

The video was only ten seconds long.

A green figure appeared, carrying a three-meter-long vine battleaxe, sprinting a hundred meters ahead.

"Boom!"

It stomped hard on the ground.

A ten-meter area was instantly covered with a web of dense spider webs.

Eric leveraged the reaction force and leaped up dozens of meters high, swinging the axe at a building fiercely.

"Whoosh!"

A piercing shriek.

The air visibly twisted and deformed, as if something flew out.

This was undoubtedly Strong Manifestation.

The next moment.

A twenty-meter-high building in front, as if slashed by a super long knife.

A thick crack appeared on the front of the building, which then collapsed with a rumbling sound.

Yang Fan commented internally, "Eric's control over Strong Manifestation is still a bit lacking."

If it were him, the crack would only be as thick as a strand of hair.

But the netizens clearly didn't think so.

The number of comments below the video increased frantically at a rate of thousands per second, showing how excited the netizens were.

Yang Fan also noticed that many netizens used the @ symbol, tagging the Jin Kongque person to watch the video.

"Woof!"

Wangzai barked again.

It was saying that the 100 fried eggs were done.

The dog barked with a slight hint of fatigue, as Wangzai used power frequently, feeling a little tired.

Yang Fan called out again, "Wangzai, cook a pot of millet porridge as well, use power to vibrate the millet first, so it tastes better and cooks quicker."

The so-called "a pot" was not an ordinary pot but a thirty-liter stainless steel pot.

"Woof!"

Wangzai agreed.

It started busily running around again, looking just like a household cook-dog.

Yang Fan didn't forget to instruct, "Remember to add a few pounds of lean meat, try to cut the meat finely, and drop a dozen century eggs inside too."

"Woof!"

Wangzai barked happily.

It really liked lean meat and century egg millet porridge.
