Dong Pengfei quickly reached an understanding with Li Chen and became the first head of this market district on the spot.

In reality, however, there was little room for him to exercise his abilities here, because Li Chen had already put his intelligence, Opened Yang, in charge of everything.

What he intended to give Dong Pengfei was a credential and a title, not permission to point fingers at random and interfere with his intelligence's work.

Everyone understood the same matter differently, and each had their own reasoning.

It was difficult to distinguish right from wrong in such cases, but clearly defined authority and individual responsibilities were still the best approach.

The intelligence under Li Chen's command already managed everything in perfect order. All he needed was to treat Dong Pengfei as a human rubber stamp.

Dong Pengfei knew this perfectly well and was satisfied nonetheless.

He did not genuinely intend to interfere in the affairs of Li Chen's territory. Rather, he wanted to produce tangible results through this appointment and give the elders and brothers in his family a good look at what he could accomplish.

If he failed to build up the market district, he could naturally shift the blame as well. After all, it was someone else's territory, and with restrictions hemming him in on every side, failure was all but inevitable.

Before long, under Li Chen's guidance, the newcomers began experiencing interactions with artificial intelligence.

The development of techniques in this world was extremely uneven. Artificial intelligence, which ought to have counted as High-Tier Constructs, had become widespread among puppets rated three-star and above thanks to the proliferation of the Creation-Promotion Secret Art.

Yet true sentience was not something an ordinary puppet could cultivate, so the people of this world found it both unfamiliar and familiar.
