Chapter 4126 - 4145: Gotta Hold Tight to the Powerful Backer!

"It is indeed suspended, but not in the literal sense."Xu Haicheng smiled and said, "If any of you have the time, I’ll take you to see it, then you’ll understand. It’s a recently completed area, very distinctive."

"Okay, let’s go take a look."

Time is something Lin Chen has plenty of, so everyone set out, following Xu Haicheng towards the Suspended Island.

As they left the urban area and flew towards the ocean, it wasn’t long before everyone saw the Suspended Island Xu Haicheng mentioned.

With just one look, everyone understood.

An artificial Suspended Island.

To simplify, it feels a bit like an offshore drilling platform, but the island in front of them is more sci-fi and futuristic in design, with few supporting columns and optical concealment, so at first glance you only see the sea’s white mist.

From a distance, the sea is enveloped in white mist, and above the mist, an island sits atop the mist.

Gu Yuexi said with a laugh, "This is truly an oceanview property, you can even fish suspended from the side..."

Xu Haicheng laughed, "Although these are artificially created suspended islands, technology makes it all seem real. I estimate that you all may not prefer living downtown, rather in a quiet place with a good environment."

"Emperor Star has various high-end residential areas with different environments, but this Suspended Island has just been completed and is ready for sale. In other places, the residences may be fully occupied. To buy, you’d have to purchase from others, leaving you with remnants of others’ presence, which you may not like."

Lin Chen looked around and smiled, "This is quite nice, I have no objections. Can anyone buy here?"

Xu Haicheng answered, "Technically, you have to be a resident of Emperor Star, with some other conditions. But don’t worry, I have connections here, buying a house wouldn’t be an issue."

Lin Chen nodded, "Let’s go up and have a look."

Everyone went onto the island, looked at the land beneath their feet, and then at the ocean below. Nalan Wushuang said with a laugh, "If you hadn’t said it was artificial, who would know? It looks no different from a real island."

Gu Yuexi laughed, "If not for the trouble, we could create an artificial island ourselves in the depths of the ocean, allowing it to suspend, maybe even over the starry sky..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Creating it is definitely possible, but I guess, not just anyone can create it anytime they want. This isn’t the Immortal Realm, where you can go wherever and build as you please. I guess the rules might be like our hometown, where if you want to build a house, you must first have land. There’s land everywhere but none of it belongs to you, and you can’t build indiscriminately, otherwise, it’s illegal."

Xu Haicheng laughed, "Mr. Lin’s right. Federation regulations have a strict definition for land use. Otherwise, many people could build, but under the rules, it’s not so easy, and not just any place can be built. It has to be according to the rules."

"If you were to truly create a Suspended Island over the ocean, I wager that as soon as it takes flight, the Land Planning Bureau folks would show up..."

Gu Yuexi pouted, "Why do I feel like we’re going back in circles? We’ve worked hard, yet can’t even secure land for a house. To build a house, it seems we’d break the law, and be jailed."

Everyone couldn’t help but smile.

Indeed, since leaving the Mortal World, whether in the Barren Wilderness, Immortal Realm, Demon World, or Heavenly God Realm, as long as you have strength, you can build sects wherever you want and houses however you please. Once you become a Heaven Deity, you can place the Heavenly God Palace wherever you want, even into the starry sky.

But now upon reaching Federation Emperor Star, building a mere house isn’t allowed, and it feels like being back home again.

Of course, this situation is only present in the highly developed Emperor Star. Planet 49, for example, apart from the Seven Great Cities areas, is all wilderness where you can build wherever you want, as long as you’re not afraid of foreign beasts or danger in the wild.

Laughing and chatting, everyone strolled around the island.

The design of the artificial island was all planned. It’s filled with villas and small manors yet does not disturb each other, with space utilization being very perfect.

After some thought, Lin Chen said, "Since we’re settling down, let’s buy larger. Just buy a manor—what if others want to move here too? We can’t live here while others stay in hotels."

The other women agreed, as money was no issue, and decided to buy.

Seeing the unified decision, Xu Haicheng laughed, "Alright, I’ll arrange for the purchase soon, though it might take some time."

"No rush, we’ll stay in the hotel for now."

After touring Suspended Island, everyone returned to the urban area where Xu Haicheng arranged a banquet to welcome them.

"President Xu, just reach out if you need help later."

With Xu Haicheng’s explanation, Lin Chen finally fully understood his current status; calling it soaring to new heights was no exaggeration.

The Security Bureau is the top department of practical power in Emperor Star, and Lin Chen isn’t mere support staff—he’s a Special Service Officer.

Though Special Service Officers work on the frontline and often face danger, they enjoy significant enforcement authority in return.

Put simply, people from the Security Bureau in Emperor Star basically hold influential positions; as long as they don’t violate the bureau’s rules, others don’t dare touch them.

Wei Bo Fei isn’t just the Wei Family Master; he holds a position in the Federation too, and one with considerable authority. Yet when he faced Qiu Chan, he was powerless.

Qiu Chan showed him no respect, and he could only stay silent.

Knowing full well that releasing Lin Chen and others meant losing any future opportunities, and possibly facing their retaliation, he still had to let them go.

Qiu Chan had clarified her identity. If he continued to resist, Qiu Chan could act directly.

Even if things escalated, ultimately, he’d be at a disadvantage.

Xu Haicheng was quite thrilled.

In Planet 11, the Xu Family naturally held high status and significant influence, but on Emperor Star, they were nothing.

Despite being a core member of the Xu Family, Xu Haicheng was cautious and courteous; they couldn’t afford to offend anyone on Emperor Star.

He received Xu Hai Chuan’s message earlier, thinking Lin Chen and the others were merely here to sightsee Emperor Star and see the world, but unexpectedly, Lin Chen had directly joined the Security Bureau.

Though he’s just an ordinary Special Service Officer, Lin Chen was personally invited by Qiu Chan to join, and he answered only to her.

This was a privilege!

Clearly, Qiu Chan used these benefits to bind him to the Security Bureau, but it also highlights Lin Chen’s unique position.

As long as Lin Chen doesn’t bring death upon himself, Qiu Chan is likely to support Lin Chen in general matters.

This was an incredible opportunity!

Hold on tight!

Absolutely must hold on tight!
