“Lord God, data compilation complete, displaying mission log…” The Light Screen revealed a three-dimensional holographic image of Ye Kai along with a series of information below.
Position: Supreme Deity
Name: Ye Kai
Divine Title: Ultimate Administrator of the Pan-Dimensional Universe
Mission Objectives: 1. Please Lord God elevate personal safety level. 2. Please Lord God replenish energy consumption as soon as possible. 3. Complete the missing components of the Divine System. 4. Successfully initialize all basic components of the Divine System. 5. Fully activate the Ultimate Administrator of the Pan-Dimensional Universe…
(Note: The tasks are not ranked in order of priority, but given that Lord God's personal safety level is insufficient, please execute them in the specified order.)
Mission Explanation: The Divine System has exhausted all energy after a long period of standby and traversing through time dimension lines, including emergency backup energy. The remaining energy can only support the System for twenty-four hours in standby mode. If no energy is supplied within this timeframe, the Initialization of the Intelligent Lifeform Assistance Mode will automatically be destroyed.
(Note: The System determines that aside from prioritizing the elevation of Lord God's personal safety level, the first sequence task is to replenish energy as soon as possible. Additionally, if a large amount of energy cannot be obtained, the currently activated energy replenishment program will only suffice to maintain the minimum consumption of the Divine System.)
Mission Requirement: Lord God, please ensure to utilize the energy replenishment program component to accommodate more energy within four hours.
Mission Hint: In the current underdeveloped technological environment of Terrestrial Planet Earth, Electric Energy is the purest natural energy with the fastest transmission Speed.
Mission Reward: None.
Permission Upgrade: Suspended.
“Beep!” The Light Screen scattered before him, transforming into twinkling starlight that faded away, yet somehow, Ye Kai could still see a faint countdown in front of him: “59:58”
Elevating his own safety level was certainly not an issue; after all, it concerned his personal security, and no one would be dissatisfied with feeling safer.
But what was with this endless sarcasm?
Terrestrial Planet? Primitive Ignorance Star System? A place of Initial with underdeveloped technology?
Look at how lowly and poor our Earth is, while you are so grand and lofty! You look down on Earth, yet you still Fusion into my head? I'm also a Carbon-Based Lifeform, you know!
Ye Kai felt a headache coming on. Sure, he could complain, but he had no choice but to take on these ridiculous tasks, right?
After all, he was caught up in something big!
And what exactly did this ridiculous Divine System want to do? He had already Fusion with something that was as crude as a Knockoff. No, it wasn't even as strong as a Knockoff; it was a broken System. Who knew if a hostile force would suddenly pop up and challenge him right away?
Whether he could fight back was one thing; just the uncertainty alone made him uneasy.
Moreover, the mission prompt stated that he should ask the Lord God to enhance his safety level. Ye Kai thought about it—he had lived for twenty-four years and had never encountered any robbers or bandits. He had seen a few sneaky thefts here and there, but nothing serious.
Suddenly hearing such a line made anyone feel uncomfortable!
“Ha!” Ye Kai sighed, rubbing his face vigorously with his hands. He shook his head to clear his thoughts and took a deep breath, forcing a smile onto his face.
After all, he was here to collect rent. Although he was the landlord, there was no need to make their relationship too stiff!
This was an ordinary six-story residential building with four units. Each unit had six floors and twelve tenants in total, which served as his economic source for the rest of his life—at least that was the plan before.
“Ding dong!”
Ye Kai cleared his throat twice, preparing to act more naturally once the tenant opened the door.
“Creeeak!”
A jarring sound that made his teeth ache and his scalp tingle echoed as the iron door slowly creaked open. It was an old security door, and every time he heard it, he couldn't help but feel a twitch at the corner of his eye. But it was his only source of livelihood, so he gritted his teeth and reassured himself, "Just endure it, Ye Kai."
"Who are you looking for?" Suddenly, a bald man with an expressionless face poked his head out from behind a yellowed white curtain.
"Uh!"
Ye Kai was taken aback for a moment but quickly smiled, thinking perhaps this was just a visitor. He adopted a relaxed demeanor and asked, "Is Ms. Liuli Li home? I'm the landlord here, and it's time to collect next month's rent."
"Who?"
A faint female voice came from the other side of the door after a few seconds.
From the tone, she sounded quite young, probably in her early twenties. However, in this day and age, everything could be deceiving—faces, bodies; even voices could be misleading!
Strangely enough, as soon as Ye Kai heard the woman's voice, a flurry of questions he had never considered before popped into his mind. Yet he remained quiet outside the door.
"It's Dong Lai collecting the rent. Tell Lily to bring it over quickly; we can have some fun later," the bald man said, a pink scar on his forehead seeming to come alive, which made Ye Kai's eyes widen in surprise.
Soon after, there was a very faint sound of movement. The yellow-white curtain was lifted slightly, revealing a woman with no makeup on her face, looking quite natural.
However, her figure was anything but ordinary; as she moved her hair aside, she even showed a hint of shyness towards Ye Kai!
Who is this? Why have I never seen her before? Could she be Liuli Li's cousin or something? She's really beautiful, Ye Kai thought to himself.
But soon enough, his pupils constricted involuntarily as he caught sight of a vivid splash of red in the living room through the woman's motion of brushing her hair back.
A shiver ran down his spine as he cursed his bad luck inwardly.
Ye Kai had just been thinking to himself that he had lived for twenty-four years without ever encountering any robbers or bandits, and now, within less than ten minutes, he found himself in such a situation.
He felt like crying inside, regretting his decision to collect rent from the first floor instead of starting from the sixth. Why did he have to do this? Ah!
"Are you the landlord, brother? I didn't know that Lily had such a handsome brother. I can't bear to let you go..." The seductive woman blinked her big eyes, lightly brushing her red lips with one hand, teasing him like a cat.
Unfortunately, Ye Kai could see through her intentions; she was clearly a black widow. He wanted to curse her out but managed to change his words at the last moment: "I didn't expect Sister Lily to have such a beautiful sister. However, I can only appreciate your kindness. I still have several more places to visit. If I don't hurry, I might be busy until dinner time!"
"Is that so?" The alluring woman bit her lip, a hint of regret flashing across her charming face. "What a pity. I was hoping to cook some of my best dishes for such a handsome brother. It seems I might really miss out this time..."
"That's right. You're so understanding, Sister. I'm just trying to get by. If it weren't for all the things I have to do today, even if you didn't keep me here, I'd still have to shamelessly stay for a meal, wouldn't I?" Ye Kai winked playfully.
However, just as he was enjoying the moment, a dark barrel suddenly appeared before him. Ye Kai could no longer hold back; beads of sweat began rolling down his cheeks.
The bald man remained expressionless as he forcefully pulled open the door and dragged Ye Kai into the room.
It was only at that moment that Ye Kai's expression shifted to one of anger and shock mixed with sheer terror. Clearly, everything in this room exceeded his imagination. Even after being inside for half a minute, he showed no signs of resistance.
"W-what do you want from me?" Ye Kai felt a chill run down his spine as cold sweat trickled down his neck. He finally sensed something was wrong and stammered.
In response, all he received was a cold glare and the barrel of another deep gun pressed against his forehead...
