My System Arrives 3 Years Earlier, But the Deities Haven't Come Yet

Feeling a bit sleepy, Zeng Shen yawned and forwarded the video to Li Yuqing but received no response.

"She might not be up yet."

"Probably not, considering her recent erratic schedule—sleeping during the day and causing chaos in the evening. No wonder she ends up as an undead deity after the catastrophe."

Zeng Shen muttered to himself, yawning again.

"So sleepy, I should take a nap too."

"I'll need the energy to hear Xiao Ai and Xiao Ti's plans for converting the warehouse into a shelter when they return."

With that thought, he lay down and quickly fell asleep.

An hour and a half later.

Li Yuqing woke up, picked up her phone, and sent Zeng Shen a message, "Good morning, hubby."

She then opened the video Zeng Shen had sent.

At that moment.

She was blown away by the effects in the edited video.

Immediately, she ran stark naked to the next room, waking up Tongtong, who was also napping, saying, "Tongtong, you have to see the video hubby edited; it's like a movie!"

"What, he finished it already?" Liu Tongtong rubbed her eyes, looking at the video on Li Yuqing's phone.

Instantly.

She was captivated by the visuals and effects in the video.

"This is the short video we shot yesterday? Zeng Shen edited it today?"

"Yes, yes," Li Yuqing nodded excitedly.

"It's unbelievable how skilled Zeng Shen is at editing..."

"Right? I thought hubby was an amateur. With this short video alone, our social media account could really take off."

"Yeah, send me the original video. I'll upload it to our Douyin account. Once it passes review by tomorrow morning, we'll see how it does."

"Okay."

Li Yuqing forwarded the video to Liu Tongtong and was about to video call Zeng Shen on WeChat.

But Liu Tongtong stopped her, "Girl, put some clothes on. If Zeng Shen has company, we'll be exposed."

"Oh, right."

Li Yuqing stuck out her tongue and ran to her bedroom.

At the Lucky Community.

Zeng Shen was sleeping soundly when his phone rang loudly on the bedside table.

Without opening his eyes, he reached out, pressed the answer button, and heard Li Yuqing's voice.

"Hubby, I saw the video. It's fantastic! Our debut will surely attract lots of traffic and fans. Hmm? Why is it so dark? Where are you, hubby?"

"I'm sleeping."

Zeng Shen replied with a long hum, turning on the bedside lamp and picking up the phone, appearing in the video.

Seeing Zeng Shen sit up and lean against the headboard, Li Yuqing said, "Hubby, you must have worked hard on the video. You should rest more; we can talk later."

"No need, I'll chat a bit and then sleep until dawn," Zeng Shen said.

"Hehe, you're the best, hubby. Our debut video will definitely pull in lots of traffic and fans. If it goes well, we'll hire a couple more staff to help us shoot a series, then take on ads and start live streaming."

After listening to Li Yuqing's grand plans for half an hour, Zeng Shen hung up, ready to sleep a bit more when he heard the front door open.

The living room lights came on.

"They're back."

Zeng Shen thought immediately, getting up and leaving the bedroom.

Sure enough, Xiao Ai and Xiao Ti had returned, carrying bags and wearing new outfits.

Xiao Ai wore a white V-neck blouse under a black women's suit, with a knee-length black skirt and long, slender legs wrapped in silky black stockings, looking like a capable secretary.

Xiao Ti wore a cooler outfit, a tight white crop top showing her slim waist, and loose jeans with a few rips, through which her slim legs, wrapped in black stockings, were visible.

While Zeng Shen admired their outfits, feeling a bit restless, Xiao Ai and Xiao Ti greeted him in unison.

"Master."

"Ah, you're back. What did you buy?" Zeng Shen asked.

Xiao Ai waved a white food bag, "I noticed you've been working hard day and night, so Xiao Ti and I bought you some meat dishes. I hope you like them."

"Xiao Ai, you're so thoughtful."

Zeng Shen smiled, taking the food bag and placing it on the living room table. Opening it, he found a beggar's chicken, a platter of beef offal, a lamb kidney, and a large bowl of goji berry sea cucumber bone broth.

Xiao Ti also placed her food bag on the table, revealing a large box of grilled oysters, each one large and succulent.

Seeing the feast, Zeng Shen's mouth watered. He picked up chopsticks and started eating, asking, "How do you plan to convert those warehouses into a shelter?"

"Master, there's a reservoir nearby and a water plant next to it. When the catastrophe hits in a year, we plan to take over that water plant," Xiao Ai explained quickly.

"And there's a zoo in front of the warehouses. It's a large area with high walls. If we clear the beasts inside, we can dig a tunnel connecting it to the warehouses, using it as an outpost. We'll then use stored cement and rebar to build better outer walls and other..."

Listening to Xiao Ai's plan, Zeng Shen slowly enjoyed the feast. After finishing, he put down his chopsticks and said, "Great, proceed with your plan. Let me know if you need more money. I can sell some jade to raise funds."

"Understood, Master. We plan to present ourselves as overseas returnees in Jin Hai City," Xiao Ai said.

"Overseas returnees?" Zeng Shen thought and nodded, "Smart, that should gain you local support and convenience."

"Although it will provide some advantages, we currently lack channels to discreetly purchase some foreign equipment. I was thinking of having Xiao Ti establish some underground connections and then spend a lot of money..." Xiao Ai started.

Zeng Shen interrupted, "No need for all that trouble. Once we know what we need, you can accompany me abroad for a zero-cost shopping spree."

In Jin Hai City, at an office building in the north of the city.

Inside a spacious office, Boss Wu sat in a plush swivel chair, venting his anger with a seductive secretary draped over him.

Suddenly, a young man's voice sounded from outside.

"Uncle Wu, I've found out everything about Ye Li from the Yin Hai Ye family."

"Come in."

Boss Wu tossed the secretary onto the large desk in front of him, having her kneel and continue her service.

The office door opened, and a young man with a clear, cold gaze and handsome features stepped inside.

"Uncle Wu."

"Speak."

"Uncle Wu, the Yin Hai Ye family runs multiple businesses and is expanding into nearby cities."

"And Ye Li is the one who outbid you last year for the Gold Thread Bay dock in Jin Hai's suburbs."

Hearing this, Boss Wu gripped the secretary's head fiercely, his teeth clenched.

"Yin Hai Ye family."

Seeing Boss Wu's expression, the young man added, "Oh, and Ye Li is the older brother of Liu Miao's deceased husband."

Boss Wu's eyes widened, pressing the secretary's head harder, regardless of her condition, and roared, "Zhang Xin, spread the word. Arrange for several truckloads of people to go to Gold Thread Bay and smash his dock. I want to see Ye Li's face beaten to a pulp."

"Understood."

The young man named Zhang Xin nodded, leaving with a subtle cold smile.
