Chapter 709, Changes in Half a Year

An endless expanse of darkness, a desolate landscape seemingly existing since time immemorial, with a colossal black shadow standing tall amidst the eerie stillness.

"Interesting little guy, you're actually one of the company's employees. You're lucky, otherwise you would have been dead long ago if you had ruined my plans."

"The owner of the original system, has that plan already begun? I've been asleep for so long, my memories are all blurry, I don't even know how many eras have passed."

As his thoughts surged, planets appeared around him, rising from nothing and then rapidly vanishing. Such methods were akin to the reincarnation of a creator, demonstrating just how incredibly powerful the shadowy figure was.

He was the true form of the pressure that Yi Shuihan had felt earlier, but what Yi Shuihan sensed was not all of it; it was just a thought of his.

It's not hard to tell from his words that his relationship with the Myriad Realms System Development Co., Ltd. is not ordinary; otherwise, he wouldn't have let Yi Shuihan off the hook.

……

Earth,

Nearly half a year has passed since Yi Shuihan left, and these six months have also been the six months in which Earth has undergone the most significant changes, transforming from a technological world to a fantasy world.

In the past, when a miraculous event happened, such as someone with superhuman strength punching a car to pieces, everyone would discuss it for a long time, even splitting into two sides and arguing about the possibility of such an event. Nowadays, if someone hasn't witnessed a hero unleashing their power and easily demolishing a wall, they'd be embarrassed to call themselves an Earthling.

The development of League of Legends has exceeded expectations. In a short period of time, it has won the hearts of the people and its status in their hearts continues to rise.

Everyone has a demon dwelling within them. The old approach was to have people restrain the demon and prevent it from escaping, which made everyone feel very oppressed. The emergence of League of Legends changed this situation. It doesn't require you to control the demon in your heart, but rather to let you release it. Then it will show you with facts that the demon is not powerful; what is powerful is the hero born after defeating the demon.

League of Legends makes people want to get closer because it tells them that it is there to protect them, and it does so every day. In addition, there is the strong attraction of power. The weak obey and worship the strong. This is an instinct ingrained in the bodies of all living beings. League of Legends releases this instinct, and the people follow it.

Social order has only been established for a short period of a thousand years, while instincts have existed for millions of years, or even longer. It is easy to see which is more powerful.

During this period, new heroes emerged on Earth and became active in various places. For a time, the forces of evil were completely suppressed. Occasionally, a few vicious criminals would appear, but they were only a flash in the pan and were brought to justice by the League of Heroes the next day. This shows that Earth has entered a relatively peaceful period.

Of course, the reason why such great results have been achieved is firstly because the League of Legends system is quite reasonable, secondly because people's hearts are still inclined towards justice, and most importantly, the power of Earth's heroes far exceeds that of those evil criminals.

When heroes unite their strength, even the weakest can unleash astonishing power, while criminals fight individually and crumble at the first touch.

Central City

Yi Shuihan returned to his villa with a somewhat depressed feeling.

"Fiora isn't here. Was she called away by Caitlin to help her?"

When Yi Shuihan left Earth, he told Caitlin that she could ask Fiora for help if she needed anything, so when he didn't see Fiora, his first thought was that Fiora had been called away to help.

After walking around the villa, Yi Shuihan found it to be quite clean, with leftover food on the table, indicating that it was frequently occupied. Based on other details, he deduced that there were two people there, making the answer obvious: Caitlin and Fiora. This discovery made Yi Shuihan slightly excited.

Caitlin Ken moving in here is already a very obvious hint, isn't it? Before, she had always refused Yi Shuihan's suggestion that she move in with him, saying that their relationship hadn't reached that level yet.

They stayed until evening, and finally, around 9 p.m., Caitlin and Fiora returned together.

They were chatting and laughing, seemingly discussing some private matters between women. What surprised Yi Shuihan even more was that he saw Fiora and Caitlin wearing matching outfits.

Yi Shuihan naturally didn't think that Caitlin and Fiora had become lesbians. He was just very curious about what had happened in the past six months to cause such a big change in Fiora. Now she didn't look like an alien at all; she was a standard urban woman.

Caitlin and Fiora quickly noticed the extra person in the house and became alert. After all, given their current public status, it was normal for some overconfident people to cause trouble.

However, all her vigilance vanished the moment she saw Yi Shuihan. Caitlin was stunned for a moment, her eyes filled with surprise and joy. She was about to rush over and hug Yi Shuihan to express her longing. But the next moment, she seemed to remember something. She looked at Fiora, who seemed a little lost, and her expression turned cold. She looked at Fiora as if to say, "Why did you come back?"

Faced with this situation, Yi Shuihan, a seasoned lover, knew exactly what to do. He immediately used various methods, and within ten minutes, not only was Caitlin sitting on his lap, but Fiora had also obediently taken over one of his arms.

Well, actually, Yi Shuihan was also a little confused. How did he suddenly end up with two women on his left and two on his right?

"After you left, Diana asked me to help with League of Legends matters. Later, a League of Legends branch was established in Central City, and I became the branch manager. Because we were short-staffed, Fiora became my secretary. We had to handle a lot of things every day. Usually, we would get together in the morning..."

Caitlin slowly recounted her life during this period, which also made Yi Shuihan understand why Fiora and Caitlin had become so close in such a short time.

"You've become the branch manager of Central City, so what's Barry doing?"

"He's now an inspector for the League of Legends, responsible for inspecting all the divisions. He's much more powerful than me, a division head."

"This means he's gained real power and has truly risen above his station!"

Chapter 710, The Second League of Legends Assessment

Barry's mobility is probably the strongest besides Superman's, making him very suitable for operating globally. However, it is a bit of a waste to keep him in Central City. Yi Shuihan is not surprised by Barry's current situation.

To Yi Shuihan's slight surprise, Diana actually allowed Caitlin to manage a branch, and Caitlin agreed.

Actually, Caitlyn didn't initially plan to become the branch manager. Although she was called the branch manager, her jurisdiction was actually quite large, covering an area the size of a province. It wasn't just the central city branch; the central city branch also had to handle matters in some surrounding cities. Not every city had a League of Legends branch, and it would be difficult to have branches in every city within just six months, especially considering the manpower required.

As a scientist, Caitlin is better at research than management; she has absolutely no talent for politics.

The current situation is that Caitlin has not only become a division head, but she is also doing a very good job, at least no worse than other places.

This is partly because Caitlin is intelligent enough to learn quickly, and partly because of her strength. She can solve some problems without thinking and with brute force. Fiora's power is also a deterrent.

What others struggle to solve, she can do without even thinking, suppressing with sheer force. The effect is not diminished but rather more pronounced.

League of Legends is not like politics. To rise to the top, strength is the most important thing, followed by management ability, unless your wisdom is truly beyond the heavens.

As a former ship commander, Fiora was very capable in management and helped Caitlin a lot. It can be said that without her help, it would have been quite difficult for Caitlin to quickly stabilize the situation.

"Do you have anything to do lately?"

Caitlin asked, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"No."

After thinking about it, Yi Shuihan realized that she was temporarily without a goal. She suddenly felt that the system tasks were sometimes really useful, at least she didn't have to choose her own actions.

"Then will you come and help me?"

"To help you?"

"Well, in a few days, it will be the second League of Legends assessment in Central City. I'm worried I won't be able to handle it."

Heroes must pass an assessment before becoming officially registered heroes in League of Legends; this is the most basic requirement.

"So how did you get through the first time?"

"Only 6 people came to take the test the first time, and 4 of them were selected. This time, there are 1 people who have signed up."

"..."

Yi Shuihan could imagine what the first time was like. There were only 5 people, and even though Caitlin had no experience, she could handle it easily.

"So, your branch only has four registered heroes right now?"

"There are eight of them. Including me and Fiora, there are two more that Diana found."

A division with only eight heroes does seem meager, but just think about how there was only one Flash in the entire Central City six months ago to appreciate how formidable he was.

"You have worked hard."

With eight heroes responsible for such a large area, how could they not be exhausted?

"I'm fine. After all, I'm just a branch manager, I only direct others to handle things."

Despite saying that, Caitlin's face clearly showed a bright smile; she was still very happy about her relationship with Yi Shuihan.

"Now that I'm back, leave the rest to me. I'd like to see how many of the many applicants are truly qualified, given the sheer number of them."

Even a fool knows that it's impossible for all 1 people to be qualified. Most of them are probably just there for the fun of it all. Wanting to be a hero is perfectly understandable, since even celebrities are so popular. Being a hero is an even better job than being a celebrity, and you don't have to worry about unspoken rules.

The perks in League of Legends are really great! They completely outclass government officials and corporate employees.

That night, as was expected, Yi Shuihan slept with Caitlin for the first time. What happened during that time is left for everyone to guess.

The next day, when the people from the Central City League of Legends division saw Caitlyn looking radiant, showing no signs of the distress she had displayed over the past few days due to the assessment, they were surprised, especially after discovering Yi Shuihan, whose relationship with Caitlyn was ambiguous.

"Such a tall building must have cost a lot of money, right?"

When Yi Shuihan first saw the League of Legends division, he was slightly surprised by its grandeur. A 189-meter-tall, 66-story building—are you sure this isn't some kind of international corporation?

"You probably won't believe it, but this building was actually built in just one day. It was built by a superhuman. It's unbelievable that someone could have such an ability."

"So we've found the right way to build it!"

Nodding, the surprise in his heart completely disappeared. After all, this was a special world with strange abilities. In an ordinary world, it would indeed be difficult to complete such construction in less than three to five years.

As a division of League of Legends, and such a large one at that, it's impossible for the people inside to be just those few heroes. There are also many miscellaneous staff who handle ordinary matters. Although they are not heroes, they are still members of League of Legends.

She met no fewer than a hundred people along the way, and everyone came up to greet Caitlyn, which shows that Caitlyn is very popular. As for Fiora, although she is not quite as good as Caitlyn, she is not far behind, and she still has quite a few fans.

Yi Shuihan, a complete stranger, attracted a lot of envious and jealous glances as he followed Caitlin and Fiora.

Caitlin's office isn't on the 66th floor, but on the 22nd basement level. Well, building the main base underground isn't exactly a unique idea. The reason for this is simply that if the main personnel are on the ground, the enemy can easily attack them. These days, gaps in defense are not uncommon.

"Restaurants, bars, swimming pools, basketball courts, soccer fields, gyms, battlegrounds..."

The underground facilities are very complete; you could say that almost anything you can imagine is here, which makes it impossible for people working here to feel bored.

Chapter 711, Fans of the Nuclear Bomb Immortal

When Yi Shuihan and his group arrived at the -22nd floor, there were already quite a few people waiting there. As soon as they saw Caitlin appear, they immediately came over.

"Hello, Minister!"

"Big Sister Caitlin, and Big Sister Fiora."

"Boss."

"Boss."

The twenty-odd people addressed Caitlin in various ways, but all of them were very friendly.

"These people should be the real elites here."

With Yi Shuihan's discerning eye, he could naturally see the difference between the people in front of him and ordinary people, whether in terms of their spirit or their strength.

"Let me introduce you all. This is a veteran from headquarters who will be in charge of the hero assessment. You don't have to listen to me, but you must listen to him."

Yi Shuihan was nicknamed the "Nuclear Bomb Immortal," and countless people witnessed his immense power through live streams.

It was fortunate that Yi Shuihan deliberately concealed himself, possessing a layer of concealment magic that prevented those who saw him from easily associating him with his identity; otherwise, there would have been an uproar long ago.

"Why are people from headquarters coming to handle matters for our branch?"

A boy of about 14 years old with silver hair said nonchalantly, his gaze toward Yi Shuihan not particularly friendly.

"That's right. Even if they're from headquarters, they should listen to our boss when they come here."

A little girl who looked only 10 years old also spoke softly, but this softness was relative, as there were many capable people present, and most of them could hear what she said.

Caitlin glanced at Yi Shuihan with some concern, but was relieved to see that he wasn't angry.

"These two are the heroes I personally recruited last time, Calvin and Emma. Calvin's ability is ice, and Emma can communicate with animals. They are both good kids, so you mustn't bully them."

Looking at Caitlin, who was protecting her like a chick, with a wry smile, Yi Shuihan said...

Do you think I'm the kind of person who would bully children?

"We are not children, we are heroes."

Both Calvin and Emma disagreed with Yi Shuihan's use of the term "child."

"They're so young, how can their parents feel comfortable letting them become heroes?"

Out of curiosity, Yi Shuihan asked a question, which earned him a reproachful look from Caitlin.

Seeing the two people fall silent, Yi Shuihan realized that he might have said something wrong.

"Now that you've joined League of Legends, we're all family now, and we can help each other out if anything happens."

"Who needs your help!"

"It's still too early to tell who's on whose side."

Two arrogant sentences came out of Calvin and Emma's mouths one after the other, and their gazes toward Yi Shuihan became much more friendly.

Caitlin used her half-baked skills to explain to Yi Shuihan telepathically that Calvin and Emma were both locals from Central City who gained superpowers on the night the particle accelerator exploded. However, their parents also perished that day, leaving them as orphans who survived on government welfare.

During this time, they went through a mental journey because of their abilities. No one guided them. They were afraid that others would reject them after knowing their abilities, so they tried their best to hide them. Because of their differences, they instinctively couldn't get along with others and eventually became lonely. They longed for other people like themselves.

They signed up immediately when League of Legends was created, also because they wanted to find teammates.

It can be said that League of Legends changed their fate. Otherwise, if things had continued like this, the chances of them growing up normally would have been extremely low. They would have been more likely to become criminals who committed crimes on their own merits.

Because of their experiences, Caitlin treated them very well, like a real older sister, which made Calvin and Emma feel family again and they became very dependent on Caitlin.

That's why they showed hostility towards Yi Shuihan's arrival, probably because they felt that Yi Shuihan had bullied Caitlin.

With a smile on her face, Caitlin suddenly said, "Cavan and Emma are huge fans of the Nuclear Bomb Immortal. They're always saying they want to meet him, take pictures with him, and get his autograph."

"This guy's from headquarters, and he's on pretty good terms with the Nuclear Bomb Immortal. Kaven, Emma, ​​if you want his autograph, you can ask him to!"

Upon hearing this, Calvin and Emma's eyes lit up, and they ran to Yi Shuihan.

Do you really know the True Immortal of Nuclear Bombs?
