Return countdown: 38:00:00.

10:00 AM.

Nangong Yuanyu, Qi Duo, Zhang Lanjin arrived at the entrance of Guobao Garden in a taxi.

Qi Duo looked out the gate at the lush green environment inside the community. The community was planted with evergreen plants, which looked particularly beautiful even in winter.

"I heard this is the wealthy area of Los Angeles. Are you sure Hu Xiaoniu is talking about this place?" Qi Duo said in a low voice.

Nangong Yuanyu thought for a moment and said, "Hu Xiaoniu said this is a base they just bought. I searched it online, and this villa of theirs is worth fifteen million..."

Freemason students are all elites, and they also made some money by trading drugs back and forth between the Inner World.

However, while the drugs were initially very expensive, gradually, eighty percent of the Time Walker started trading in the drugs, and even price wars broke out, which reduced the profits later on.

Therefore, for the Freemasons, spending over ten million to build a base is still somewhat beyond their imagination.

"I heard that the Time Walker organizations in Haicheng and Jingcheng are very good at making money," Qi Duo said. "The Red Leaf Organization in Jingcheng seems to have someone who can find channels for some medicines in the Inner World and sell them back here."

Zhang Lanjin: "Not only that, I heard from a friend that there are Chosen One in the Red Leaf Organization who have obtained the cultivation method, and the core members of their organization are all cultivating."

The leader of the Red Leaf Organization has always been mysterious, just like the boss of Daylight. Truly powerful people often wear many disguises...

Some say that Momiji is an organization backed by Jiuzhou, while others say it is an independent organization; it's still uncertain.

Qi Duo added, "That Matrix Organization in Haicheng used the technology from the Inner World to create antivirus software, and it's been downloaded a lot."

A while ago, a lot of viruses suddenly appeared online, and many people were infected. The antivirus software on the market could not find the problem at all.

Soon after, a software called "Matrix Security Guard" appeared, specifically designed to address various internet problems on the market.

This matrix antivirus is free to download, but nowadays, as long as you have traffic, you can make money. So the Haicheng student organization "Matrix" that developed this matrix antivirus suddenly has a strong money-making ability.

While they may not be comparable to traditional internet giants, compared to other student Time Walker organizations, they are considered wealthy.

Later, many Time Walker also wanted to do this business, but none of them succeeded.

Some software programs crash their servers inexplicably as soon as they are released.

Industry insiders, after piecing together the events, began to suspect that the previous virus was released by the Matrix Organization, and that the other Time Walker's software crashed, they were also responsible. It is likely that there are more than one top-notch hacker in this organization.

It's important to understand that everyone who travels back in time has no memories, so even if the Inner World has computer technology that is ahead of its time, everyone will have to learn it all over again.

In this situation, whoever has the strongest learning ability, the highest talent, and the first to access the most cutting-edge computer technology in the Inner World will be the fastest runner on this track.

Without a doubt, the Matrix Organization is ahead of everyone else.

There is also luck involved in this situation, because there are also very talented programmers among the Time Walker, but if they come from a humble background and have no access to the cutting-edge computer technology in the Inner World, it will all be for naught.

The Matrix Organization quickly gained fame, and even student Time Walker across the country spontaneously formed their own organizations, inspired by the Matrix.

However, people's understanding of the matrix and the red leaves seems to be only the tip of the iceberg.

At this point, the Freemasons believed that the Daylight Organization had reached the level of the Matrix Organization, since the ability to establish such a base at this stage itself represented strength.

The taxi couldn't get through the entrance, so the three of them walked inside, following the directions given by Hu Xiaoniu.

However, before they even reached Villa No. 12, they were stopped by two of Luo Wanyai's undercover agents.

The three Freemasons stared in astonishment at the four hidden agents who had silently surrounded them.

These undercover agents were all dressed in identical black training uniforms, looking exceptionally fierce.

They were somewhat confused; were these people also from the daytime?

As they sized up the undercover agents, the agents were also sizing up the Freemasons: "May I ask who you three are?"

The undercover agents were very polite because Luo Wanyai had instructed them beforehand that although they were responsible for guarding Villa No. 12, the visitors were likely to be acquaintances of the White Day organization. If they offended them, it would affect the White Day organization's image, so they had to be courteous first and then resort to force.

Iron bars, stun guns, and the like must be hidden away first.

Nangong Yuanyu looked at the hidden stakeout and said, "Hello, are you from Bai Zhou? We're here to visit Hu Xiaoniu; we have an appointment with him. My name is Nangong Yuanyu."

The agents exchanged glances, and one of them said into his Bluetooth headset, "Check Mr. Hu's appointment list to see if anyone named Nangong Yuanyu is on it."

The next moment, the undercover agent looked at Nangong Yuanyu and said, "We found out. Mr. Hu Xiaoniu gave instructions, but they have to go out on business right now, so we need you to go to the villa to rest and wait for a while."

As he spoke, the undercover agent led the three Freemasons to Luo Wanyai's villa.

Nangong Yuanyu glanced at the house number. "That's not right. Hu Xiaoniu told us it was number 12, but this is number 11."

The undercover agent explained, "This is the security room and reception room. If the members of the Daytime team are not here, then visiting guests will need to wait in Villa No. 11. Please follow me. There is tea, refreshments and fruit prepared inside."

The three Freemasons looked at each other in bewilderment!

They had previously said that Bai Zhou using a villa as his base showed how incredibly wealthy he was, but they had underestimated his extravagance.

There was even a villa there during the day specifically used to house security personnel!

Upon entering the villa, Nangong Yuanyu immediately looked around and discovered that there were 12 LCD monitors installed in one of the rooms, displaying some corners and entrances of the villa's perimeter.

Another security guard, also dressed in a black training uniform, was intently watching the screen, checking for any unauthorized intrusions.

Upon seeing someone enter, the other party immediately closed the door.

The Freemason agent who led the way explained, "Sorry, that room cannot be visited."

"I understand," Nangong Yuanyu said, feigning composure. He knew this was to avoid the surveillance camera angle being seen.

Nangong Yuanyu's heart was no longer at peace.

What they saw and heard along the way was far beyond what the Freemasons' small-scale activities could compare to.

So, the Red Leaf Organization in Jingcheng and the Matrix Organization in Haicheng shouldn't be any worse than this, right?

The Freemasons still have a long way to go.

Just then, Luo Wanyai walked in from outside with a smile, "Are the three of you guests of Bai Zhou?"

Nangong Yuanyu stood up from the sofa. "Yes, I made an appointment with Hu Xiaoniu. And you are?"

"Luo Wanyai," Luo Wanyai explained with a smile, "You can just call me Lao Luo."

Nangong Yuanyu tried to extract some information. "Are you a member of the Daylight Clan?"

Luo Wanyai laughed and said, "No, no, no, how could we possibly join Bai Zhou? We're just security personnel under Bai Zhou's command. Come on, it's a bit stuffy inside, let's go sit in the courtyard for a while. It seems the Bai Zhou members won't be back for a bit."

Nangong Yuanyu was led into the courtyard in a daze, where she saw a group of security personnel dressed in black training uniforms sitting cross-legged, as if they were practicing meditation.

Originally, Luo Wanyai only had 12 people under his command, but now several new family members have joined them and are receiving the Zhunti Method from Bai Zhou.

Nangong Yuanyu paused for a moment, then asked, "This is...?"

Luo Wanyai laughed and said, "Oh, this is the cultivation method taught by Bai Zhou, in order to help everyone quickly improve their strength."

Inheriting cultivation methods? Nangong Yuanyu thought to herself, "He actually taught cultivation methods to a group of security personnel during the day!"

How could an ambitious organization like Freemasonry not know how rare and precious the path to spiritual practice is?

Qi Duo, standing to the side, was stunned for a long time. It was the first time he had ever seen such a large-scale cultivation scene. "May I ask, what level can the cultivation techniques taught during the day reach?"

"Sorry, this is confidential," Luo Wanyai said with a smile. He looked at the security personnel who were practicing, "Alright, everyone, stop practicing and go practice your equipment over there. I'll chat with the guests here."

After saying that, the security personnel stood up, silently walked to the equipment area in the yard, picked up dumbbells and started lifting weights. Each of them deadlifted 500 kilograms as if it were child's play.

A group of security personnel were playing on the horizontal bar and with dumbbells, performing acrobatics that dazzled the three Freemasons.

Nangong Yuanyu is knowledgeable; this person must be at least an E-Class cultivator!

Even if I started taking gene serums from the time travel incident, I'm only at E-Class now, and at the very least, I'd only be at D-Class.

Moreover, these are just the perimeter security personnel during the day!

He had inquired about cultivation methods in the Inner World. The fastest cultivators there could only barely get started after half a year, and it would take a year to barely reach the F-Class threshold.

Those cultivation masters who have reached C-Class or B-Class may have to cultivate diligently for more than ten years to achieve that level.

But here in broad daylight, it can be done quickly!

Just a few days ago, Nangong Yuanyu was thinking of incorporating the daytime into Freemasonry, but now she realizes how reckless her idea was...

Nangong Yuanyu, Qi Duo, Zhang Lanjin remained silent, recalling the stories Jiang Yichen had told them about Daylight's exploits. Suddenly, they felt that the Freemasons might as well merge with Daylight...

Much later, Qi Duo whispered to Nangong Yuanyu, "I wonder if they're still recruiting security personnel during the day?"

Just then, an undercover agent said in the communication channel, "Old Luo, the bosses from Daylight are back. Please invite the guests over."

"Okay, I understand," Luo Wanyai Nangong Yuanyu. "Let's go, you three. The bosses from Bai Zhou are back. I'll take you to Villa No. 12 now."

Before entering Villa No. 12, a female undercover agent responsible for security checks came over and scanned all three of them with an instrument. Only after confirming that they did not have any dangerous items on them were they allowed to pass.

At this moment, the way Nangong Yuanyu and the others looked at Villa No. 12 was completely different.

They felt that the place was mysterious and sacred, and without realizing it, they became humble...

This set of items was ordered by Luo Wanyai. He used to rent a small temple and hire a bunch of fake monks to swindle money from incense offerings and sell fake Buddhist amulets.

At that time, he realized that if anyone could enter the gate to worship the Buddha, then those who entered would not be very devout, and no one would be willing to pay incense money.

Therefore, the sense of ceremony should be maximized before entering the door.

It must be said that Luo Wanyai has indeed dabbled in various industries to some extent and is very experienced.
