"Father, did I tell you to take His Highness's arrival seriously? Is this how much you value it?"
Bertha glared angrily at her father, the current emperor of the Dream Universe Kingdom.
The emperor wasn't angry; he was used to being contradicted by this unfilial daughter anyway.
"Bessa, how much more do you want me to value him? I've already personally hosted a banquet and invited him to the palace—"
"Hmph!" Bertha snorted coldly, then kept her eyes fixed on the Emperor.
The newly enthroned queen said softly, "Bessa, His Majesty is, after all, the emperor of a cosmic kingdom. No matter how noble the apprentice's status may be..."
His status was only slightly higher than that of the emperor in a typical moderately civilized country.
"If it weren't for your request, His Majesty might not have even met that apprentice—"
"Heh—" Bertha chuckled, "You two are like frogs in a well! That's exactly what I mean—"
After saying that, he disappeared without looking back.
"Ellie, please excuse my rudeness. I'm such an unfilial daughter, spoiled since I was little!" The Emperor said somewhat awkwardly to the Empress.
Queen Ellie smiled and said, "It's alright. That child is very talented and cares about us. Otherwise, she wouldn't have done that. After all, her goal was simply to get us on good terms with that apprentice—"
Several days have passed.
Babata suddenly reminded him, "Zhou Ze, the official appointment from Virtual Universe Company has arrived."
"Oh?"
Zhou Ze arrived at his study in the Rain Mountain Primitive Zone of the virtual universe and looked at the official email notification he had received on his laptop screen.
"Zhou Ze, from today onwards, you are the special inspector of the Virtual Universe Company's Dream Branch! You have the authority to oversee the Military Department, the Commerce Department, and..."
The military enjoys a host of privileges, including the power to investigate, monitor, and directly appoint and dismiss officials!
Babata on his shoulder immediately shrieked, "Holy crap, Zhou Ze, your authority is outrageous! You even have the power to appoint and dismiss officials!"
"I've checked other original, secret job permissions that have been released outside the official channels, and I can't find one that can compare to yours!"
Zhou Ze silently looked at the appointment details.
The appointment was straightforward.
These external tasks are usually tests for domain lords. During the external period, special tasks will occasionally be issued from above that need to be executed.
Each special mission must be completed until the final mission is completed, at which point Zhou Ze can end his external assignment and head to the extraterritorial battlefield.
"No reward whatsoever, at least give me some points!" Babata's eyes widened. She knew that when the Domain Lord was deployed outside,
You earn points for each completed task.
But Zhou Ze didn't receive any reward at all.
"The Chaos City Lord or Venerable Guiyi wouldn't bother giving out those points. Giving too few wouldn't be appropriate, and giving too many wouldn't be good either," Zhou Ze said with a nonchalant smile.
"But to be fair, at least go through the proper procedures," Babata grinned, somewhat dissatisfied.
"Haha, alright, the appointment has been issued, and the Dream Branch will also be notified at the same time." Zhou Ze smiled slightly, "Now it's time for me to take office and pay a visit to those three giants."
"To the Dream Branch!"
Zhou Ze vanished from in front of the desk in a flash.
The virtual universe has a primary dimension.
This dimensional space contains continents, each representing a cosmic nation. Surrounding these continents are countless islands, which may represent intermediate-level civilizations in the universe or special locations.
The "Saint Master" dimension, which the Virtual Universe Company created specifically for Zhou Ze, is such a special spatial zone.
Purple Crystal Island, under the jurisdiction of the Dream Continent.
This is an incredibly beautiful island made entirely of purple crystal. Its size is comparable to that of other medium-sized civilizations, and it features undulating palaces made of amethyst.
The palaces varied in height and grandeur, with the most dazzling being the amethyst palace at the very center, which stretched for tens of thousands of kilometers.
Under the sunlight, this magnificent amethyst palace reflects a variety of brilliant colors.
This Amethyst Island is the office of the Virtual Universe Company's Dream Branch. Because the universe is so vast, the office is naturally located in the virtual universe.
Every continent under the jurisdiction of a virtual universe has such a Purple Crystal Palace.
"What's going on? Everything seems normal, so why did headquarters suddenly send an inspector? And this apprentice, he's only been out of Chaos City for about a hundred years, what's the point of breaking through to the Domain Lord level?"
Inside the grand hall was a huge round table with a diameter of over a kilometer, and beside the table were three tall thrones, each occupied by a person.
The speaker was dressed in an exquisite and gorgeous purple robe, with extremely beautiful features and pointed ears, clearly of royal lineage from the Dreamland royal family.
Sizzle sizzle!
Flames surrounded her purple robe, seemingly scorching the space around her and making her appear like a valiant Valkyrie!
"There's nothing we can do. What's done is done. Since he didn't choose his hometown, he probably just picked one randomly, and we just happened to be the unlucky ones who were chosen."
Compared to the previous speaker, Ji Yanhou, the person speaking now seemed more like a legendary elf. Her fair skin was exposed, her figure was voluptuous, and she was only wearing a small amount of fabric, her whole body shrouded in a faint black veil, enough to make anyone who saw her dream.
"Marquis of Extreme Flame, Marquis of Fire Demon, the appointments have been made. There's no use in us complaining anymore. From the outside, we seem quite prestigious, but even in these positions, there are many things we are unwilling to do."
Liu Shuanghou spoke coldly, her expression extremely rational. She was wearing a full set of ice armor that covered her body completely, including her head inside the helmet.
Marquis Jiyan was an impatient man: "Hmph! That's easy for you to say, but this feeling of being powerless is really unpleasant! Don't you guys even look at that guy's authority? It's ridiculously outrageous!"
"I've never heard of any core member of the company who was seconded to an external position ever having such extensive privileges. I have no idea what the higher-ups are thinking!"
Marquis Jiyan looked utterly aggrieved!
"Oh dear, you don't need to worry. How can a weak woman like me, with no one to back me up, possibly cope with the coercion from the special envoy?!"
Huo Meihou stretched out her jade finger and touched her chin, looking like she was about to cry but had no tears, which made people feel particularly sorry for her.
Marquis Jiyan rolled his eyes, looked at Marquis Huomei's visually striking body from head to toe, and chuckled, "If there's any chance of any exceptions, then you'll have to be the only one to take him down, you slut, and threaten him. If he doesn't obey, accuse him of abusing his authority..."
Huo Meihou, unperturbed by the teasing, gently stroked her long, slender legs draped in black gauze, and said with a seductive laugh:
"I think you're more suitable. After all, men always like to conquer women like you who appear dignified on the surface but also have a very heroic air about them, hehe—."
"Get lost!" Ji Yanhou's eyes widened, and the flames around his purple robe surged violently.
