Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

With a slight twist in the air, a skewer of tanghulu[1.tanghulu: sugar-coated Chinese hawthorn candy] appeared out of thin air.

It was actually a person holding a rope that tied a string of people together.

There were 12 people tied together with Ren Baqian pulling the rope. There was one more person than expected, and this extra person had been gathered by Ning Caichen. He was also a very important person because he could speak many languages.

A person like this was simply too useful for Ren Baqian.

Not only were the 12 people blindfolded, but they were also unconscious.

“Look over these people.” He carried a box and loosened the rope as he summoned the guards.

The guards came in and were taken aback, partly because there were suddenly more than a dozen people in the room, but more so because of their appearance.

Some of them had sunken eyes and big noses with red, blonde, or maroon hair, and two of them had hair as black as graphite.

“Are these mountain spirits?” The two guards showed high reverence for Ren Baqian. They didn’t expect Zhao Prince Consort to actually capture some legendary mountain spirits.

“Notify me when they wake up.” He nodded slightly. Since they mistook these people for mountain spirits, he decided to just let them be.

Then, he left to meet the empress.

“What have you brought me?” She looked at Ren Baqian’s hand in anticipation the moment she saw him. It was as if her husband, who was returning from a vacation, had brought her a souvenir.

Well, she was actually just bored and hoped to see something new.

“Dang, dang, dang, dang!” He spun around, placed the box on the table in front of the empress, and asked, “Guess what’s inside, Your Majesty?”

“Definitely not sorghum wine!” She chuckled and seemed to be in a good mood. She had noticed a long time ago that Ren Baqian assumed that alcohol would affect the ball in her belly.

Even though she thought it was okay, she still drank less alcohol and consumed more calcium milk.

She liked the sweet and sour taste of the beverage, but this didn’t mean that it could replace alcohol.

However, although she was supreme in the world, she also understood that two people living together must always practice tolerance and compromise.

Even many of Ren Baqian’s generation on Earth didn’t understand this.

It could be seen that the empress had put a lot of thought into this.

“The latest holographic device!” He opened the box, revealing a boxy piece of equipment and a few pairs of glasses that were inside.

This was the latest test model, which was similar to a computer. The screen was directly projected in the air. Unlike before, it didn’t require a mist, but it required the users to wear special glasses.

The most important thing was that this device was completely controlled by thought. It was completely devoid of mouse, keyboard, and controllers.

“How do you use it?” The empress was interested.

“Put on these glasses and press this button, Your Majesty. After that, you only need to think about what you want to do. You can watch movies, play games…” Ren Baqian helped her put on the glasses and then put on a pair himself to teach her how to use the device.

Looking through the glasses, they could see a screen projected above the box. It was 4.5 meters wide and 28 meters tall. This was the height of a regular residential building on Earth.

This size was already a huge surprise for the empress as she was used to using laptops. It felt as if her entire field of view was covered by the screen.

As her thoughts shifted, the icons of various television dramas appeared on the screen. She then picked one to watch.

“It’s truly realistic!” She was very surprised.

The video of the television drama that appeared on the screen was three-dimensional. It was as if the real character was standing right in front of the empress.

Ren Baqian hugged her as they watched the drama together. She was all smiles and very satisfied with this gift.

He brought back several pairs of those glasses and gave Qing Yuan and Hong Luan each a pair.

After all, the empress would look like a fool if she were making all sorts of expressions while looking at something that others couldn’t see..

Many times, one would find more joy in something that could be shared with others.

Those researchers woke up that night, and Ren Baqian went to see them the next day.

“Sir, they woke up last night and made a din. I persuaded them a little, and they calmed down soon after,” the guard reported to him.

“Well done.” Ren Baqian nodded. He understood very well what the aboriginals meant by persuading.

“Everyone, we are meeting for the second time.” Ren Baqian opened the door, saw some people in a panic, and greeted them with a smile. He subsequently understood why these people had quieted down so quickly.

Most of them were badly battered. One of them even seemed to have a broken arm, whereas another was dragging his legs on the ground…

Sure enough, as he had thought, this was the aboriginal method of persuasion.

However, it was fine. As long as they didn’t die, the medicine in this world worked pretty well.

This also let them know who the boss was over here!

After seeing such a hefty man like Ren Baqian walk in, they couldn’t contain their fear and started making a commotion. It was as if they were at a wet market.

They said things like:

“Who are you?”

“Where is this?”

“Is this a kidnapping?”

“I will sue you.”

“Can you understand me? Translate!” He pointed at a black woman who was roughly in her thirties and only wearing underwear.

“Who are you? What are you doing? Where is this?” The black woman spoke in Mandarin that had a tinge of a northeastern accent.

Ren Baqian suddenly felt a familiarity in his heart.

“Welcome to the space of the King of the Gods. Think carefully. Is there something on your mind?” He smiled.

“Just kidding! Welcome to our world!” He burst out laughing.

“Alright, still kidding. Welcome to a whole new world,” Ren Baqian finally said.

After cracking several jokes at once, these people immediately felt annoyed.

However, he didn’t care how they felt.

Although these people could be regarded as fellows from the same hometown… there were too many people back in his hometown, more than seven billion of them…

The reason why he had chosen all foreign scholars was that they were easier to deal with. If they were Chinese, he would always have to worry about their feelings and about the nation.

“The first thing that I have to tell you is that unfortunately, you won’t be able to go home. You will have to live here. You need to work for me, analyze everything in this world, and do what I want you to do.

If you perform well, I won’t treat you harshly. You can spend the rest of your life here. In any case, you have no families and have nothing to worry about on Earth.

Moreover, this is a brand new world with brand new rules. Also, it’s full of the unknown. For people like you, isn’t this the best reward?”

After the black woman translated what he said into English and Spanish, the crowd became loud again.

“You are a liar.”

“I don’t believe this! This is impossible! You are lying to us!”

“This is kidnapping—you will go to jail for this!”

In any case, Ren Baqian couldn’t understand any of these foreign words. He simply exerted force with his feet, and the floor tiles suddenly exploded.

He stretched out his hand, and a long spear appeared in his grasp. After brandishing it around, the spear intertwined with gold and silver turned into a flash of lightning and penetrated into the ground.

A metal chain protruded out of Ren Baqian’s body like a snake and wrapped itself around the person who was shouting the loudest, a tall and strong looking white man. It kept constricting him as if it was trying to break every bone in his body.

This scene made everyone gape speechlessly.

“Do you understand it now? Law? I’m the law here! As I said, this is a whole new world and very different from Earth. What you need to do is what I want you to do!” Ren Baqian gave a kind looking smile.

“Come on, let me show you around.” He waved his hand and turned around, beckoning them to follow him outside.

They all felt a little uneasy, but they still kept up. They were now eager to know what was going on here and wanted to find out if what he said was true!

The first things that caught their eyes were the two guards who resembled bears. Their sheer ferocity left a deep impression on everyone, and they all immediately quivered when they saw them.

When they took a careful look around, all they saw was a magnificent palace and a blue sky that was bluer than the sky on Earth.

With an exclamation, a white woman in her fifties rushed toward the garden in front of them and stared at the plants in the garden with her eyes wide open.

The others understood her when she said, “Oh my god! This is—this is a plant that I have never seen before. This one, this one, this one, and those. All of them!”
