Lin Xian threw the boning knife in his hand onto the cutting board and kicked the man in the suit in the butt.
The man rolled out of the kitchen through the back door like a gourd, landing face-first on the manor's constant-temperature lawn.
He spat out the few bits of grass stuck in his mouth, scrambled to his feet, and his first instinct was to straighten the crooked, custom-made tie.
This person is not some lowly errand boy from Aurora Capital at all, but Ma Hualong, a well-known giant in Shanghai's internet technology circle.
Just now, while inspecting the fresh produce section at Jiajiafu Supermarket, he slipped and somehow ended up falling through that blue light into this place.
The moment the knife was pointed at his nose, he was terrified and made up an excuse about Aurora Capital to save his life.
Now that he could see the spacious lawn and sunshine around him, Ma Hualong dusted off his suit and resumed his arrogant CEO demeanor.
He stood with his hands behind his back, puffing out his slightly overweight beer belly, his gaze sweeping over Lin Xian's large floral shorts twice, and he let out a cold snort from his nostrils.
"Kid, I don't care what tricks you used to get me to this mountain, you're in big trouble today."
"I'm Ma Hualong, the chairman of a tech conglomerate worth hundreds of billions. I generate tens of millions in revenue every minute. Can you afford to compensate me for wasting my time?"
Ma Hualong arrogantly raised his chin, took out a gold-rimmed business card from his pocket, and handed it to Lin Xian with two fingers.
Su Qinghan leaned against the kitchen door frame, arms crossed, staring at her former business rival as if he were an idiot.
Previously at a summit in Shanghai, this old fox, relying on her monopoly on social networks, did a lot of things to trip up her company.
Ma Hualong then recognized the aloof beauty standing beside him holding a water glass, his eyes darting around in their sockets.
"Hey, isn't this President Su? Giving up being a multi-billion dollar CEO in Shanghai to come to this backwater and be a full-time nanny for a country bumpkin?"
He pointed to the seemingly ordinary furnishings in the manor, his tone carrying a pedantic, didactic air.
"The scenery here is quite nice. Name your price; I'm looking for a place with mountains and water to escape the summer heat."
"By the way, hand over that blue light portal technology that allows people to teleport instantly, and I'll give you one percent of the company's shares, guaranteeing you a life of comfort for three generations."
Lin Xian leaned back in the rocking chair, rubbing his temples from the noise of the man's hoarse voice.
Xia Anran walked over with freshly washed mutated strawberries, her big, watery eyes filled with wariness, like a kitten guarding its food, blocking Lin Xian's way.
Lin Xian picked up a strawberry and stuffed it into his mouth, not even bothering to stand up and look the other person in the eye.
"What's a net worth of hundreds of billions? It's not even enough to pay one day's property management fee for me."
"Since you claim to be a tech tycoon, I'll show you what I'm made of, so you won't go around telling people that my manor is not hospitable enough."
Lin Xian snapped his fingers casually, and the crisp sound echoed across the open lawn.
The invisible intelligent butler in mid-air immediately received the command, and the energy matrix at the bottom of the manor instantly burst forth with a faint blue light.
The once sunny sky suddenly darkened, as if a huge black curtain had been drawn up in a second.
Immediately afterwards, countless fine beams of light intertwined and rose into the air from the ground, colliding and creating dazzling sparks in mid-air.
A miniature holographic star map, covering the entire scale of the Earth, suddenly unfolded above the manor.
A holographic blue Earth slowly rotated above everyone's heads, with even the atmospheric cyclones and cloud formations clearly visible.
It is not a flat, unreal image, but a fourth-generation materialized projection with real light and shadow and physical collision volume.
The star map continued to extend outwards wildly, with Mars's crimson craters and Saturn's dazzling rings all realistically suspended in mid-air.
Ma Hualong's head snapped back, a sharp cracking sound coming from his neck, and he froze on the spot.
He stared intently at the holographic sun overhead, radiating intense heat, cold sweat pouring down his face.
As a top technology giant in the country, he was all too aware of what this technology meant.
Without needing any bulky equipment or projection medium, a vast, multi-dimensional universe can be constructed directly in the air.
In comparison, his company's much-vaunted VR glasses and smart ecosystem are not even as good as the mud that primitive people played with in the Stone Age.
The holographic nebula even simulated a small supernova explosion, and the blinding light completely broke down Ma Hualong's psychological defenses.
With a muffled thud, the tech tycoon, worth hundreds of billions, collapsed to his knees on the grass.
His expensive trousers were covered in mud and grass clippings at the knees, but he didn't even have the courage to reach out and wipe them off.
He gripped the grass with both hands, panting heavily, his previous arrogance completely crushed by this epoch-making technology.
"This...this is technology only gods can master! My junk is practically industrial waste!"
Ma Hualong crawled on his hands and feet to Lin Xian's recliner, grabbed Lin Xian's ankle, and his face was covered in snot and tears.
"Mr. Lin! Grandpa Lin! My billions are nothing compared to your wealth!"
"I'm donating all my shares in the group to you; I'm giving up all my luxury homes and sports cars!"
"Please, please let me stay. I'll even let you clean the floor and take out the trash for me every day!"
As long as you can stay in this technologically advanced country that is fifty years ahead of Earth's civilization, the title of a billionaire outside is nothing.
He just wants to cling tightly to this incredibly powerful and influential figure, refusing to let go no matter what.
Su Qinghan put down the water glass in her hand on the table, looked at her former arrogant opponent who was now crying like a 300-pound fat man, and a mocking sneer appeared on her lips.
Lin Xian disgustedly pulled his leg out and wiped the saliva off the sole of his shoe on the grass.
"Donating shares is out of the question. My account is overflowing with pocket money; I don't have time to deal with your pittance."
"However, the manor is indeed short-handed recently. Those nouveau riche outside are always trying to curry favor with us, as annoying as flies."
Upon hearing that there was hope, Ma Hualong immediately banged his head on the grass repeatedly, assuring everyone he could.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, this is something I'm an expert at. I've spent my whole life making a living by offending people!"
"From now on, I'll be the fiercest guard dog at your manor gate. Anyone who dares to disturb your sleep, I'll bite them to death!"
Lin Xian waved his hand, signaling Zhou Bapi, who was not far away, to come and take the person away.
"Take him to the logistics warehouse to get a security guard uniform. From now on, he will be in charge of the guard post on the east side of the main gate."
Ma Hualong, the tech tycoon from Shanghai, was overjoyed, repeatedly kowtowing in gratitude, and followed Zhou Bapi away eagerly.
In less than ten minutes, he changed into a blue security guard uniform with the words "Qingshui Divine Kingdom" printed on it, and a high-voltage electric baton was also tucked into his waistband.
He stood in the guard post with his chest out and head held high, feeling that this uniform was ten thousand times more impressive than the hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of handmade suits he used to wear.
This is a job guarding a gate for a living deity; even the richest people outside couldn't get such a blessing if they dug up their ancestral graves.
Lin Xian yawned, lay back down in the rocking chair, closed his eyes, and prepared to take another nap.
The gentle breeze in the peach blossom grove made people drowsy, and a few girls gathered together, studying the holographic star map in the sky with great interest.
Just as Ma Hualong pulled out the stun baton, preparing to practice a couple of security baton swings in the air...
The door to the underground server room of the manor was kicked open from the inside.
Top hacker Ye Xiu, his hair a mess like a bird's nest, ran out carrying a tablet computer that was so hot it was practically steaming.
He ran so fast that his slippers flew off and hit a peach tree, causing him to slide and kneel down in front of Lin Xian's recliner.
Ye Xiu didn't even bother to wipe the mud from the corner of his mouth. He pointed at the red skull code flashing wildly on the screen, his voice cracking.
"Lin Shen, something terrible has happened! A desperate criminal on the dark web has accepted a bounty and infiltrated our manor's internal defenses!"
