"Boss, no, please don't! I have the elderly above me, the young below me, and a wife in the middle. My whole family depends on me for a living. Boss, please don't fire us!" Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao immediately wailed, fearing he would lose his job.

Yang Dong also snapped out of his daze and immediately began crying about his own hardships.

Liu Hui chuckled, unable to decide whether to laugh or cry. "Who said I was firing you? I just heard what you were chatting about—it was quite interesting—so I was hoping you could offer me some good suggestions. I was only planning to switch your work assignments. Where did your minds go?"

"So it wasn't a firing," Yang Xiao and Yang Dong exchanged glances.

"Absolutely not a firing. If your suggestions are good enough, your income can increase by at least 50% on top of what you’re currently earning," Liu Hui said with a smile.

"Boss, we are definitely willing to do this job, but we only have wild fantasies straight out of those YY novels. You are a man of great affairs; we probably can't help you," Yang Dong said.

"Heh heh, I've recently become quite interested in the content you were discussing about traveling to another world. So, I'm preparing to have someone write a novel about a modern person (transmigrating) to another world. Some of the things you just said would be excellent references for this novel, so I need you two to provide the setting details," Liu Hui explained with a smile.

"So that’s what it is. You scared me to death," Yang Xiao patted his chest. Then he added, "Boss, may I make one request?"

"Tell me."

"After we finish this content setting for you, could you help us move to an office with more beautiful women?"

"Well, that should be possible," Liu Hui replied.

"Yay!" Yang Xiao and Yang Dong shouted. Their colleagues looked on with envy, feeling the two of them had hit incredible luck—they were chatting during work hours and not only avoided trouble but got a raise, and now they might even get transferred to a department with more beautiful women.

"The front desk reception has the most beautiful women. Do you two want to consider that?" Liu Hui said, smiling.

"Really?" Yang Xiao and Yang Dong asked, drooling slightly.

Liu Hui unexpectedly ran into Yang Xiao and Yang Dong. After listening to their conversation, an idea sparked in his mind. He immediately canceled his trip to see Li Zhi and brought the two men back to his office.

"I'm preparing to hire someone to write a novel, one about a modern person traveling to another world. But the setting for this other world is very strange," Liu Hui said.

"Boss, tell us about the setting," Yang Xiao requested.

"The specific setting is like this: In a magical plane, the dominant race is the Elves. The Human race and several other races are all enslaved by the Elves. This magical world has not yet developed any civilization, only faint signs of nascent culture. The lifestyle of all races is rather backward. In this magical plane, the Elves all worship the Nature Goddess, and there are some Elven mages among them who draw their power from faith in this Goddess. There are no other deities in this world, only this Nature Goddess. The other races, including humans, are very weak, possessing neither their own civilization nor any significant martial power. They can only survive by living in remote areas and barely making a living by working for the Elves. The Elves have formed countless lordships, large and small, and these lordships engage in wars with each other, yet they are all nominally led by the Great Elven Kings. Rumor has it there are many Great Elven Kings in this world. This magical plane is boundless. After countless years of exploration by the Elves, no one has ever discovered its edges. This world contains many rare resources—things that would be incredibly precious in later eras—but right now, they are treated like trash, scattered everywhere, drawing no attention whatsoever." Liu Hui eagerly recounted the basic situation of the magical plane where Alexander resided to Yang Xiao and Yang Dong.

"This world is strange, very strange," Yang Dong remarked.

"It's completely different from the settings for other worlds in those novels we read," Yang Xiao added.

"But I feel like I’ve heard of a world like this somewhere before, though I can’t recall it right now," Yang Dong pondered deeply.

"I have the same feeling. Wait a minute, isn't this the Primordial World of the magical plane?" Yang Xiao suddenly slapped his forehead.

"Yes, it's the Primordial World, but this one is the magical version, not the Xianxia version. Haha, Boss, you are truly brilliant to come up with a setting like the Magical Primordial World! I guarantee that no novelist is currently using such a novel concept," Yang Dong laughed.

"This is the magical version of the Primordial World?" Liu Hui was momentarily stunned.

"Boss, this is the Magical Primordial World! Look, first, this world is boundless; even after countless years of exploration by the Elves, they couldn't find its edge—isn't that exactly what the Primordial World is like? Second, this world is ruled by the Elves, and humans and other races are enslaved by them. Aren't the Elves equivalent to the Demon Race in the Xianxia Primordial World? The Demon Race dominating the Human Race also occurred in the Primordial World. Third, this world only has the Nature Goddess for now, which means other deities haven't been born yet, much like the early stages of the Xianxia Primordial World before the Immortals truly appeared. Finally, this plane is exceptionally rich in resources; many things would be priceless later on. Isn't this just like the early Xianxia Primordial World, where Spirit Roots, Spiritual Energy, and Heavenly Treasures were everywhere, only to disappear in the later stages? With so much evidence, can this not prove it’s the Magical Primordial World? It's just that this Primordial World is in a much earlier epoch, where humans haven't risen yet and are subjugated by the Elves," Yang Xiao immediately analyzed the situation for Liu Hui in detail.

Liu Hui's heart shuddered. He had never considered this issue before. He hadn't expected that the world Alexander was in would be so similar to the Primordial World he knew. Could there be some hidden secret linking the two?

"If the protagonist of my novel wants to develop rapidly in this world, what should he do?" Liu Hui asked.

"Since this is the early Magical Primordial World, the protagonist's development should be relatively straightforward, but it will also be fraught with risk," Yang Dong said.

"Correct. Although there are risks, there are also immense opportunities. If handled properly, it could even allow for leaps in development. I think the first step should be to unify the entire Human Race, and if possible, ally with other races oppressed by the Elves," Yang Xiao stated.

"How exactly should that be done?" Liu Hui asked.

"Just as we were saying, he must first develop a religion belonging to the Humans, using this religion to unite them all to collectively resist Elven oppression. Only then can they break through the limitations of space and time to achieve rapid development," Yang Xiao explained.

"Once humanity is consolidated through religion, they must vigorously develop their own armed forces dedicated to this religion, and then begin to expand outward," Yang Dong added.

"They also need to selectively win over some other races, bringing them into the fold to strengthen their own power, which is the only way to contend with the Elves. Of course, doing this carries great risk because the Elves are still in power. They must not be allowed to become aware of these actions, or the protagonist will face certain death, being wiped out before he can even establish himself," Yang Xiao cautioned.

"In that scenario, the protagonist must start by quietly building up his strength—farming resources, so to speak. In the early stages, he cannot declare war on the Elves. He might even have to choose to become their vassal race, doing things they find inconvenient, and then gradually strengthen his power until he can finally stage a successful counterattack and overthrow Elven rule," Yang Dong elaborated.

"Boss, if the novel is written this way, the early plot might feel a bit depressing and could flop," Yang Xiao worried. After his own novel failed, he now worried about the trajectory of this story Liu Hui conceived.

"Heh heh, your suggestions are excellent, but the novel hasn't even been written yet. Isn't it too early to worry about it flopping?" Liu Hui laughed.

"Boss, Brother Xiao didn't mean it that way. What we meant was, what kind of background setting do you need us to devise?" Yang Dong quickly interjected, afraid Yang Xiao's comment might displease Liu Hui.

"What you need to do now is to fabricate a religion based on this grand backdrop. This religion must be capable of uniting all humans while remaining singularly focused on external matters. Most crucially, it must establish the protagonist's absolute core status, leaving no room for dissent against him. This religion must have not only the origin story of its creation but also detailed doctrines and complex canons. It would be best if you elaborate on all these aspects, making it seem like a real religion. My requirement is that this religion must possess powerful **conviction**—something that makes people believe it instantly upon hearing it," Liu Hui instructed.

"Boss, it's just writing a novel; does it really need to be detailed to this extent? Isn't that a bit exaggerated?" Yang Xiao asked.

"Heh heh, what is professionalism? This is professionalism! This is the advantage we have over others," Liu Hui chuckled.

"But we can't just fabricate such a religion overnight," Yang Dong said with a troubled look.

"You two can form a dedicated department. Your direct superior will be me, and you will be the leaders of this department. I can allow you to hire up to ten staff members to finalize the details of this religion," Liu Hui offered.

Yang Xiao and Yang Dong were overjoyed. Liu Hui’s words instantly promoted them from mere clerks to leaders. Although the department's task was unusual, they were supervisors at last.

"Boss, we guarantee we will complete the task you assign," Yang Xiao and Yang Dong quickly assured him.

"So, how do you plan to fabricate this religion?" Liu Hui asked.

"Boss, the protagonist is traveling to the Primordial World, so nobody there knows about Earth's religions. We will summarize the content of all Earth religions, take out the elements we find useful, and replace any doctrines clearly unsuitable for the Primordial World setting. That should allow us to fabricate a new religion," Yang Xiao explained.

"That’s a good approach. You can operate along those lines. Even copying existing canons is fine, but there's one rule: the doctrine must not contain any internal contradictions. Furthermore, in the early stages, to avoid provoking the Elves, we should omit any content related to the Nature Goddess. We can incorporate those elements later," Liu Hui said, satisfied.

"Boss, I understand what you mean. You mean the current tenets of the religion can be simple, but they must leave room for future upgrades, and those upgrades cannot conflict with the original doctrines, correct?" Yang Dong clarified.

"Exactly, that's the idea," Liu Hui was very pleased with their grasp of the concept.

"Boss, if we are responsible for this department, what about the compensation (aspects)..." Yang Xiao asked, rubbing his hands with a strained smile.

"You two are now considered mid-level management, so your salary and benefits will adhere to the company's standard scale. If your work is outstanding, there will be special bonuses, which I will personally award to you," Liu Hui stated. He intentionally created the possibility of special bonuses to incentivize them to organize the religious content more quickly.

Alexander's side was already beginning to experience management issues. Liu Hui planned to help him establish a religion to manage the humans. A religious management model was indeed better suited for Alexander’s current situation than a governmental structure. Liu Hui firmly believed that as long as he maintained strict oversight of this religion, it would surely survive tenaciously in the Magical Primordial World, possibly even creating miracles.

Yang Xiao and Yang Dong left happily. They had heard a story before that an employee became a small-animal caretaker for a few days simply because the boss liked close contact with animals, and afterward, the boss, being in a pleasant mood, promoted him to a mid-level manager. They never expected that today they too would become mid-level managers due to one of the boss’s minor interests. They truly felt lucky and hoped the boss would develop many more interests.

Liu Hui treated this matter with great importance. However, this religion specifically tailored for Alexander could not be presented immediately; they would have to wait until Yang Xiao and Yang Dong organized some of the core doctrines.

Guo Jia was truly furious. He was roaring at the group of pharmaceutical experts he had summoned.

"Are you truly just a bunch of people who live by talking, just as outsiders say? So many of you have researched this for days, only to give me this single conclusion?"

Before Guo Jia, these pharmaceutical 'experts' maintained silence, daring not to speak. They clearly understood the power behind this young man; a single word from him could ruin their careers, and they were certainly unwilling to give up their current superior benefits.

"You, speak up. How did you arrive at the conclusion that this secret formula has problems?" Guo Jia pointed at one of the experts.

"Boss, this is the unanimous opinion of everyone; it’s not my personal view," the expert mumbled timidly.

"I'm not asking you that right now! I'm asking how you reached that conclusion?" The expert's reply was nonsensical, infuriating Guo Jia to the point of sputtering curses.

"Boss, we have thoroughly examined the formula you gave us and feel it resembles a tonic for warming and supplementing the body, not a drug capable of treating AIDS," the expert said, trembling slightly.

"Continue," Guo Jia said. He also wanted to know the underlying mechanism.

The expert’s courage grew slightly, and he stated, "Boss, this formula bears a resemblance to the Taiping Thousand Year Powder from traditional Chinese medicine. The Taiping Thousand Year Powder is an extremely obscure prescription, its primary function being to warm and supplement the body. However, its effectiveness as a tonic isn't very good, so very few people use it, and most traditional Chinese medicine schools don't even teach it."

"You just said 'resembles.' How similar is this formula to the Taiping Thousand Year Powder?" Guo Jia inquired.

"This formula differs from the Taiping Thousand Year Powder in three medicinal ingredients. This formula has undergone some modifications, but those three modified ingredients are only used as auxiliary agents and do not affect the medicinal efficacy at all. You could say the difference between having them or not having them is negligible. Moreover, even with those three altered ingredients, this formula cannot possibly transform from a body-warming tonic into a drug that treats AIDS," the expert explained.

"You mean the secret formula I hold is fake?" Guo Jia suddenly calmed down.

"This... I wouldn't dare say fake, but it definitely cannot treat AIDS patients," the expert hesitated slightly before giving a definitive answer.

"What do the rest of you say?" Guo Jia gestured to the other experts present.

"Boss, we all agree with Professor Zhou's assessment. What Professor Zhou said is what we mean," these experts, though lacking in profound learning, were intimately familiar with the demeanor of officialdom. They all voiced their agreement with Professor Zhou, unwilling to offer any other dissenting opinions.

This group of experts could neither analyze the problem with the formula nor provide sound advice. Guo Jia was deeply disappointed. With a helpless wave of his hand, the experts scattered like startled birds, vanishing without a trace.

"This secret formula must have issues. While these experts may lack deep scholarship, they wouldn't be wrong in fundamentally assessing a prescription. Furthermore, the fact that the two patients currently staying in the hospital haven't been cured also proves this secret formula is unreliable," Guo Jia pondered carefully, trying to figure out where the error occurred.

After taking over the Han Tang Hospital, Guo Jia had made many changes to erase Liu Hui’s previous influence, even destroying some items. Only the regulations concerning patient treatment were retained from the old system. To prevent leaks, he had also incinerated all records of past treatments, so he currently had nothing from before to analyze the problem. If anyone in this world still understood the specifics of the situation, it could only be the founder of Han Tang Hospital—Liu Hui.

"Do I really have to go find Liu Hui and ask him clearly about this matter? I snatched Han Tang Hospital from him and even caused a rift between him and his girlfriend. Would he help me? Moreover, his current strength is vastly different from before; I certainly can't touch him now, can I?"
