Atlas of Heaven and Earth-Chapter 371: Attending the Meeting

At dawn, Chen Chuan opened his eyes, awakening from a deep sleep.

He usually never dreamt, but last night, scenes appeared in his sleep.

The most frequent scene was a woman with light brown hair, which didn't seem dyed but natural. In those scenes, he could easily sense that he was talking to Yu Zhen , his mother.

The conversation scenes weren't limited to one place; like fragments of a real dream, they jumped around. Sometimes it seemed to be in the cabin of a ship, sometimes on a rugged mountain path, and sometimes in a magnificent temple. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

On the surface, it seemed the two were traveling in different places, with some sights clearly not in Da Shun. Furthermore, he discovered that this woman looked very much like Yu Zhen , but with a different temperament. If it weren't for the content of their conversations indicating they were just friends, he would have almost thought she was another sister of his mother.

Most of the time, they talked about exploration and various landmarks, occasionally mentioning clothing and favorite accessories.

It seemed this memory was from before he was born.

He thought Yu Zhen might have left this memory to share her experiences from those years with him, which he found very precious. But if that was all, there seemed to be no need to hide it so securely. Or could it be that the transmission of these memories couldn't be completely controlled?

Or were these memories left along with the key information?

The last possibility seemed more likely.

Then, there should be more crucial content hidden in the memory, which he hadn't been able to see yet.

Actually, even if there wasn't any important information stored inside, it wouldn't matter much. He had already embarked on his own path and was gradually moving towards his goal. As long as he kept going, when he reached a higher place, the answers he couldn't find before would appear one by one.

He got up, walked to the window, and opened the curtains, letting the light pour in.

He looked outside. Today was September 10th, a holiday, the day he had agreed to meet Meng Shu .

He planned to see what this old classmate wanted to talk to him about.

After standing by the window for a while, he went back to wash up. Then, he retrieved the Boundary Token and put it on, which immediately played a notification sound.

It was a message he hadn't finished reading yesterday, a list of discounted drugs from Green Pouch Jade Pavilion.

He looked at it; they were all drugs to improve physique and replenish vitality, just as expected.

He figured that even if he became a drug tester for Green Pouch Jade Pavilion again, they would only provide these at most. They probably wouldn't provide him with those special drugs unless he joined Green Pouch Jade Pavilion and became a member.

He swiped away the message, grabbed some Nutrition Paste to eat, took some drugs, and then went to the training room for his daily routine of cultivation and skills training.

Around noon, he came out to wash up and prepared to go to the appointment.

Meng Shu had invited him in the name of Fusion Boundary, not as an old classmate , which indicated that the main topic would be about company matters. So, he washed up, changed into his Processing Bureau uniform, gave Zhao Ming fresh water and food, took the Snow Emperor Blade, and left the house. After getting his car from the underground garage, he contacted Gao Ming and said, "Gao Ming , I've left."

Gao Ming said, "Cousin, I've also booked a private room there. You can ask me anything if you have any problems."

Chen Chuan said okay. After driving to Enjoy the World Hotel, he didn't take the mountain path this time, but instead took the sightseeing elevator up.

This time, to facilitate the conversation, Fusion Boundary had booked an entire independent courtyard. As he walked in, a rich fragrance of osmanthus wafted over.

The place was exquisitely decorated, adorned with natural rock arrangements. Clear streams flowed under the small stone bridge, making a gurgling sound. At the entrance and near the water were elegant bamboo stalks, rustling in the breeze. There were no distracting light screens outside, making it quiet and refined.

He sat down on a cushioned old-fashioned round stool. After a moment, he heard footsteps and looked up to see Meng Shu walking in.

Today, she wore a hanging bun hairstyle, a plain-colored cross-collared short jacket, and a blue printed long skirt. She was followed by a female assistant, but when they reached the courtyard, she waved her hand, and the female assistant bowed and withdrew.

Meng Shu walked across the small stone bridge and sat down on the round stool opposite Chen Chuan . She looked at Chen Chuan and said, "Before I saw that video, I didn't expect you to reach that level. But I always thought you were excellent, which proves I wasn't wrong."

Chen Chuan found that perhaps because of their childhood experiences, although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, they didn't feel too estranged.

He said, "You haven't changed much in two years. You've always been confident in everything you do."

Meng Shu gently shook her head and said, "That's just because of my family background and wealth. I haven't had time to achieve anything commendable myself. Without these, there's no basis for confidence.

I'm grateful that my parents gave me this origin, but these things need careful maintenance. Nothing in the world can last forever."

She looked at Chen Chuan and said, "You can do what you want to do and succeed. I'm happy and a little envious, but I can't. So now, I need your help."

Chen Chuan asked, "As an old classmate or as Fusion Boundary Company?"

Meng Shu said, "Fusion Boundary isn't mine yet. What I need to do is turn it into mine. Whether I want to or not, I can't back down."

Chen Chuan said, "Succession?"

Meng Shu didn't mince words and said, "Yes." Then she looked at him and asked, "You know about that, don't you?"

Chen Chuan knew what she was referring to and nodded, saying, "I know."

Meng Shu said, "I don't know what the Processing Bureau and you will say, but it must be with some reservations."

Chen Chuan said, "I feel so too."

Meng Shu looked at him and said, "Although the government and the company currently have the same position, their focus is different. The government's focus is on the defense of the World Ring, while the large companies also do these things, but their main purpose is to seek relics."

Chen Chuan hadn't heard of this before. He asked directly, "What is that?"

"The boundary where the two worlds collide and merge, where the World Ring is now built, didn't appear suddenly, but formed over a long time. During past periods of change, the two worlds were very close to each other several times. The intersection of the worlds caused many tangible objects that conform to both worlds to appear there.

They may be living things or things that are still difficult to understand, collectively called "relics." In the past, they were collected by the Imperial Families of various countries.

Nowadays, the technology of various large companies, besides those developed by this world itself, are mostly created by imitating and studying these relics. Therefore, even now, the government and large companies are still diligently seeking these things.

However, the relics on the periphery of the World Ring are almost impossible to find, so now they need to get closer to the World Ring, or even cross it, to find them. And only martial artists , with sufficient preparation, can possibly come into contact with or capture these relics."

Chen Chuan said, "You want me to help you get those things?"

Meng Shu shook her head. "Going there is very dangerous, and even if you can bring them back, I won't gain any substantial benefits except for winning some praise.

My cousin controls most of the company's business. He can use this to win people's hearts, build new research teams, start new projects, and make more people grateful to him. It's meaningless for me to do these things now. Competing with him within the company framework means he will always get more benefits than me.

Even if I do something beneficial to the company and get the support of my grandfather, I know that the root of it all is ultimately force. Once he feels threatened, he only needs to send a suitable person to physically eliminate me, and everything I've done will be happily accepted by him.

And my grandfather will not hesitate to abandon me, who is already worthless, abandon the heir who can't even protect herself.

So I must ensure my own safety."

She looked at Chen Chuan and laid out her conditions, "Chen Chuan , if you're willing to come over, I can use the search for relics as a guise to give you all the resources I can allocate."

Chen Chuan said, "Old classmate , putting aside my abilities, if you're willing to invest, I believe it shouldn't be difficult to recruit others."

Meng Shu said, "But I can't trust any of these people. I can't be sure if they've secretly accepted my cousin's conditions."

She looked at Chen Chuan and said seriously, "I've watched your video and consulted many people. They all affirmed your talent. Your ability is beyond doubt, and I'm more willing to trust you.

And I can promise that after I become the heir to Fusion Boundary, I can give you the maximum limit of support. Although Fusion Boundary Company isn't a top enterprise, we are an important partner of the domestic military industry. We maintain a good cooperative relationship with the government, and our business is expanding internationally.

The company is constantly rising. Even if it can't become world-class, with the resources a company can fully support a person, I believe no other place would offer such conditions."
