Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

"If we look at it from a temporal perspective, the Great Xia people and the Faelan people seem to be separated by a century. The former live in the future, while the latter still live in the past."

"I genuinely believe that the Faelan people should learn from real civilization."

François clicked save, closed his laptop, and opened the door to walk outside.

He was located at a dam built against the mountain.

Due to the many dams constructed by Great Xia, this place didn’t even have a name, only a number—Dam 33145.

François walked up to the protective railing, felt the cold wind carrying moisture, and watched the shallow river flow from afar.

This is a river formed by melting snow from the Celestial Mountain range.

According to experts, in three days, the glaciers would begin to melt on a large scale, and the river’s flow would surge a hundredfold.

François watched it for a while and unconsciously remembered the Seri River of his hometown.

The Seri River is the largest river in the northern part of the Faelan Duchy. Due to its flow through the capital city, Tarli, its banks are home to many world-famous attractions, giving the river significant global fame.

Yesterday, he spoke to his wife, Adelle, over the phone. She mentioned that the water flow upstream of the Seri River had increased twofold compared to before the Age of Calamity, and would continue to grow in the coming days.

Faelan’s water experts predicted that Tarli was about to face a terrifying flood, potentially destroying the entire city. Many suggested that the duchy should quickly relocate its capital.

Currently, over twenty million inhabitants of Tarli are frantically fleeing the city, fearing they might drown if they are too slow.

Despite the officials’ strenuous efforts to appeal, asking all of Tarli to unite against the flood, few are willing to stay.

In contrast, not a single city in Great Xia is experiencing panic, as every city there has made perfect preparations.

François couldn’t help but sigh: "I’m glad I came to Great Xia."

Initially, when he donated the Deceitful Steel Pen to Great Xia, it wasn’t without objections from relatives, but facts proved it was the wisest decision he made in his life.

Linjiang City.

Light rain drizzled in the sky, giving the city a misty and hazy feel.

This was the first rain Linjiang City had seen in over a year.

Yang Fan stood beside the large glass curtain wall on the top floor of his family’s villa, quietly looking at the Lanjiang dam in the distance.

Recently, Celestial Star Agriculture had been upgraded to Celestial Star Holding Group, encompassing Celestial Star Agriculture, Celestial Star Pharmaceutical, and Celestial Star Investment.

Through Celestial Star Holding, he acquired a piece of land from Linjiang City Hall to build a villa.

Currently, Celestial Star Holding is considered the largest enterprise in Linjiang City. City Hall stated that Chairman Yang could choose any land within the city, and if Chairman Yang favored the land occupied by City Hall, they would pack up and move overnight.

Of course, Yang Fan did not ask City Hall to leave but instead chose a twelve-acre plot in the North District, asking the engineering corps to build a beautiful villa.

Beneath the villa, there was a five-acre, five-story greenhouse garden, its design resembling a blooming flower, with the villa’s four-story main body above it.

The remaining several acres of land were temporarily empty, with plans to gradually develop it into landscaped gardens.

Because the land was large, the villa was really spacious.

The observation room on the villa’s top floor covered more than two hundred square meters, and the walls were made of new "Vajra Mystic Glass," which contained First level Exotic Material and couldn’t be broken even by a rocket launcher. The entire villa’s glass was made from this material.

The cost naturally equaled its strength, with the glass alone costing a massive 15 million Xia Yuan.

The total cost of the greenhouse garden and the villa, from design to construction and decoration, was 360 million.

A few days ago.

Yang Fan moved from his previous two-story small villa, bringing over more than a thousand different cultivated plants.

The Superpower Research Institute heard about this and was amazed. Director Shen Jun called him and jokingly said, "Chairman Yang must be the person on Canglan Star who cultivates the most types of plants, bar none."

Even Celestial Star Agriculture’s stock experienced a slight rise of 2% these past few days, showing how keen the capital market’s intuition is.

At this moment.

Yang Fan, through the glass, saw numerous small black dots on top of the Lanjiang dam.

These were personnel the officials dispatched for the impending flood.

Lanjiang is the largest river in Great Xia and the longest in the East Continent, spanning 6,300 kilometers from the source to the sea.

According to predictions, this global flood would see Lanjiang’s peak flow exceed five times the historical record.

It was the definitive super flood of a lifetime.

Therefore, Great Xia built hundreds of new dams along Lanjiang’s banks and heightened the older ones considerably.

Initially, many did not understand this approach, but now as the great flood approached, the officials’ actions were praised worldwide for their foresight.

Along the section of Lanjiang flowing through Linjiang City, fifty-meter-high dams were newly constructed on both banks, with the Linjiang official mobilizing over 100,000 people to patrol day and night without pause.

"What are you thinking?"

A pleasant female voice came from behind.

At first hearing, the voice was simply beautiful.

But upon careful appreciation, it carried a subtle, indescribable allure that instantly plucked at one’s heartstrings.

This was precisely the voice of the female secretary.

She unexpectedly grasped the superpower trait of a succubus, not only becoming more attractive in appearance but even her speaking voice underwent a subtle change.
