"Is this really happening? It's unbelievable! System, I want to access the control panel! What's the deal with the Wish Button?"
"The Wish Button, as the name suggests, allows you to make a wish. However, the wish must be practical and related to your current life or work. If you wish for something like stars or the moon, it's not possible. Even if it were, it would be of no use to you," the system explained.
"I understand. So, what if I wish for the countries of Japan and America to remain silent?" Shang Yunyan asked jokingly.
"Host, with your current level, that's too big of a wish. Even if it were granted, it wouldn't be very meaningful to you, and it might even make your future level-ups more difficult," the system cautioned.
"Hmm... I get it now. What if I wish for three to five people to help me out?" Shang Yunyan decided to try something more reasonable.
"Ding! Wish successful! Future-tech humans are being dispatched. Please wait... Ding! Dispatch complete! Please check your rewards!"
"Wait! Hold on! What is this? I was just asking a question, and you went ahead and gave me a definition?" Shang Yunyan was confused.
"Host, the Wish Button has been used. Please use another function now!" the system replied coolly.
"God damn it... fine! I'm going to take a bath!" Shang Yunyan sighed in frustration, rolling his eyes, and left the system space, returning to his bath.
Meanwhile, outside Villa 13 in Tianhua Yipin, four individuals—three men and one woman—stood outside. They were all dressed in formal business attire, exuding a powerful, commanding aura.
"Ding dong!"
"Who is it?" Aunt Zhang went to the gate and opened it slightly. Seeing the four strangers, she asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Hello! Is the Young Master home?" one of the men asked.
"The Young Master? Oh! You're here for the Young Master? Please wait a moment, I'll have the butler come out," Aunt Zhang responded without letting them in. She quickly pressed the intercom to contact the butler.
"Butler, there are four people outside asking for the Young Master. They're all in suits!"
Hearing this, Duan Yuruo, the butler, was a bit confused. Shang Yunyan hadn't mentioned anything about visitors.
"Aunt Zhang, don't let them in just yet. Let me contact the Young Master first. If there's any danger, press the emergency button immediately!"
"Yes, Butler! Please wait a moment, we'll confirm with the Young Master!"
The four people outside smiled politely and nodded in acknowledgment.
At that moment, Shang Yunyan was in the middle of his bath when his phone suddenly rang. He saw that it was from his personal butler, Yuruo.
"Yuruo! What's up?"
"Young Master! There are four people outside asking to see you!" Duan Yuruo's voice sounded a bit tense.
Shang Yunyan suddenly realized—this must be the robots that the system had sent!
"Oh, right, right! I forgot to tell you—they're my people! They help me with business. Let them in quickly! I'm in the bath, but I'll come down in a minute."
"Yes, Young Master!" Yuruo responded quickly and went to escort the four visitors into the courtyard.
"Please come in and wait. The Young Master is taking a bath and will be down soon."
"Thank you so much!" The visitors replied, taking their seats. As they waited, Yuruo observed them carefully while serving tea. She began to feel more and more curious about who these four were and who her Young Master really was.
The way these people carried themselves—their aura and demeanor—wasn't like ordinary secretaries at all. They had the presence of powerful CEOs or strong business leaders. Yet, these four people were calling Shang Yunyan "Young Master," so could he really be the heir of some legendary family?
At that moment, Shang Yunyan, now wearing a bathrobe, hurried down from the elevator to the first floor reception area.
The moment the four secretaries saw him, they simultaneously stood up, bowing to him in unison.
"Good day, Young Master!" they greeted respectfully.
"Ah, you're here! Good, good. Come upstairs with me. There are some things I need to discuss with you. Let's go to the study on the fourth floor."
"Yes, Young Master!" they all responded at once.
"Yuruo, tell the chef to prepare extra food for dinner. Let's all eat together. And tell Aunt Zhang and the others not to clean so much! They're always cleaning, aren't they tired? We have regular housekeeping, don't we? They should rest—if they don't, they'll get exhausted, and they're not getting any younger!" Shang Yunyan instructed as he walked toward the elevator.
Yuruo smiled and nodded, appreciating his concern for the staff, and then watched as the group entered the elevator.
On the fourth floor, Shang Yunyan finally relaxed. He had been worried about the visitors discovering anything unusual about the people around him.
"Host! Relax. These are all future-tech super robots, perfectly designed to resemble humans. They have blood, flesh, and thinking abilities just like real people, but their fates are all in your hands. Whatever you tell them to do, they will carry it out flawlessly."
"Seriously? They have blood and flesh? So they're like real people?" Shang Yunyan asked in disbelief.
"Not exactly! They're all artificially created using future technology. In the future, there will be fewer humans on Earth, so these artificial beings are created to maintain the normal operation of the world," the system explained.
"Wow, that's fascinating! What's the future world going to be like?"
"If you work hard enough, maybe one day, you'll see it for yourself!" the system responded cryptically.
"Hah! I never thought I'd live to be a hundred years old! If I can make it to 80, I'll be lucky!" Shang Yunyan replied with a chuckle.
The system didn't answer. All things required time to unfold and leave their mark.
