On the third day, when "the boss with a condition" finally entered the room next door, it seemed like he had gone to rest. Xu Xiaomeng was relieved, hoping that he wouldn't die anytime soon.
The pet shop's business was very bleak. Although there were plenty of people looking at the pets, especially the small flying horses which were quite rare, they were just too expensive. Only one pet would sell every two or three days.
Despite this, Xu Xiaomeng didn't mind staying up late because every time a pet was sold, she could directly take the commission. After only a few days of work, she had become a small wealthy lady.
She felt that if she stayed here for a few more months, she could buy a house, even a big villa.
Fang Yuan had no idea about Xu Xiaomeng's little thoughts. He knew her every move, but as long as she didn't break the rules, he didn't care.
After watching the biological gene technology for three consecutive days, Fang Yuan finally felt it was time to try creating angels, so he entered the Steel Ball Realm again.
On the third day when Xu Xiaomeng returned to work, she noticed that the large pile of cash had disappeared, probably hidden by the boss.
She let out a sigh of relief but also felt a bit of regret.
At this moment, Xu Xiaomeng also noticed that the strange movie playing on the TV had changed. The screen now showed a grand world where day and night alternated rapidly, with the rise and fall of life occurring in an instant. In the blink of an eye, a whole quarter had passed, and snowflakes were flying, covering everything.
By the time the afternoon was about to end, the flashing movie on the screen returned to normal, focusing once again on the girl.
This time, Xu Xiaomeng realized that the girl from earlier seemed to have aged seven or eight years. Now, she was at least twenty-five and looked much more mature. The mage robes made her appear very noble.
Xu Xiaomeng found this strange, but she didn't think too much about it.
At that moment, Fang Yuan came out of the room, holding a water tray and placing it on the computer desk next to her. He casually grabbed a piece of the water and ate it, slouching on the sofa, looking quite tired.
In fact, Fang Yuan had spent eight whole days in the Steel Ball Realm, researching the genetic combinations of humans, gods, and birds non-stop. Even though he was the creator god in that world, he was still feeling mentally and physically exhausted.
This time, he had returned to Earth to rest for a while before continuing with the creation of angels.
Moreover, he planned to place the angel race in the second layer of the world, distinguishing between the heavenly realm and the mortal realm. After all, if they were angels, they should be noble.
Xu Xiaomeng felt a bit strange. After just one day, she noticed her boss had become more unfamiliar.
But since her boss had always been strange, she didn't think too much about it as long as he didn't deduct her salary or commission.
"Xiaomeng? Not off work yet? Have some water," Fang Yuan suddenly said, noticing her and smiling.
"Ah, thank you, boss."
Xu Xiaomeng was surprised. This seemed like the first time the boss had spoken to her. It was quite rare; she had been working there for almost a week, and this was the first time he had said something to her.
Xu Xiaomeng had always found the water Fang Yuan ate strange; she had never seen such a thing.
Now, with her boss inviting her, though still a bit shy, she didn't hesitate and took one.
Biting into the water, her mouth was instantly filled with a fragrant taste. A strange clear flow coursed down her throat. Xu Xiaomeng felt her work exhaustion disappear in that moment, and she instantly felt refreshed and full of energy.
"Wow, boss, this water is really good," Xu Xiaomeng said in surprise.
"If you like it, eat more," Fang Yuan smiled.
This water was from the divine waters on the divine mountain in the Steel Ball Realm. Fang Yuan feared that if he mentioned it, Xu Xiaomeng might think he was crazy.
This divine water could help mortals live for a hundred years, cleanse muscles and marrow with no effort. But those who didn't recognize its value would simply think it tasted good.
Even a low-level mage could break through to the intermediate mage level in a short time by drinking this divine water, and might even become a high-level mage, possibly even a grand mage, gaining increased talent.
However, for Fang Yuan, this water was just a snack; he had as much as he wanted.
Now that the angel creation plan was ready, Fang Yuan only needed to wait for the next world expansion to begin creating the angel race.
He had to wait because the current world was still too small. If another region were created for the divine realm, the mortal realm would become even smaller.
Fang Yuan planned to divide the Steel Ball Realm into two levels: one for mortals and one for gods. After all, if they were angels, they needed to be noble.
Later, more powerful races could be created, making them the original inhabitants of the divine realm.
Fang Yuan glanced at the LCD screen hanging on the wall, where Niya, now twenty-four or twenty-five, was a high-level mage. She had completed the mission to find the Staff of God and advanced from an intermediate mage to a high-level mage on her own.
Fang Yuan hadn't released any more missions until now, but on a whim, he issued a new task.
"New task: Be the first to reach the Trial Land. Reward: Grand Mage!"
A voice suddenly rang in Niya's mind.
While chatting with her adventurer team, Niya's expression suddenly changed.
"Niya, what's wrong?" one of her teammates asked.
Niya didn't answer because she saw a map appear in her mind, rapidly extending to a vast prairie, where a point was marked.
"Everyone, get ready. We need to go to a place. Let's leave immediately," Niya said, instructing her team to head out.
Meanwhile, under Fang Yuan's control, the LCD screen shifted to show the vast prairie on the Human Continent.
Fang Yuan picked up the game controller and pressed a few buttons, and the sky above the region he had bound with appeared with rainbow-colored clouds, followed by a rain of fire.
In the dense fire rain, occasional fire meteors could be seen.
"Boom..."
A fire meteor fell from the sky, not burning up in the atmosphere, and hit the ground, creating a large crater and sending a shockwave that sent chunks of grass flying.
Fang Yuan quickly set up the controller to make the rainbow clouds change every hour, causing different attribute meteor showers to fall.
Anyone who entered this area would be attacked by the meteor showers, but if they could withstand the attack and break open a meteor within an hour, they might find a treasure inside.
These treasures could be magic stones, swords, magic staffs, etc.
Fang Yuan set this up to promote the development of the Steel Ball Realm, but getting the treasures wasn't easy—it required luck and strength.
Not every meteor shower contained treasures, and if they weren't found within an hour, they would disappear.
However, Fang Yuan worried that the humans might be too foolish to find the meteors and break them open, so he made the meteors semi-transparent so the treasures inside could be seen.
He also made each meteor bigger and heavier, and with such gravity, many people might die when they fell.
Though the treasures were valuable, obtaining them required a price.
From now on, treasures would fall from the sky regularly, making this area a magical place in the Steel Ball Realm.
[Second update!]
"Boss, what... are you doing?" Xu Xiaomeng asked in surprise.
"Playing a game," Fang Yuan replied.
"You like playing games too, boss? I like them too! I'm studying game development," Xu Xiaomeng said.
At that moment, a beast appeared on the edge of the Trial Land in the LCD screen. Fang Yuan quickly selected a rocket launcher from the weapon options.
A rocket launcher fell from the sky, blasting the rhino beast and making it roll several times. It then got up, roaring and spraying fireballs everywhere.
Xu Xiaomeng froze. "Boss, you're not saying this movie is a game, are you? How is the animation so realistic?"
