Looking from outside, people would see nothing—no car, no people. The car had turned invisible.
Looking out from the window, the sisters saw the car moving. They were excited to enjoy the whole journey in an invisible car!
Just then.
Blink!
Suddenly they saw a different scenery. The car was teleporting! And now it was in the clouds.
The two sisters was shocked and quickly told their family about it.
Ubao and his family's minds buzzed with something indescribable. They couldn't even form proper thoughts. They just stared at the scenery around the car changing rapidly—clouds rushing past, then a glimpse of ocean, then mountains, then darkness again.
After some time, the car suddenly stopped.
The man left the driver seat, took out Ubao's family things from the back, then woke Ubao and his family.
The family slowly and tiredly walked out of the car.
Then the man said, "This is your home from now on. You will receive other details from your own maid inside the house."
Then he sat inside his car again and set off to pick up another employee to their new home.
On the other hand, Ubao and his family wanted to stop him and ask about the car teleportation, but their words stuck in their mouths when they looked at their surroundings.
This place… these trees… this fresh air… clean…
It looked so beautiful that it almost felt like a fantasy. The sky above was a perfect, endless blue with soft clouds drifting lazily. Birds sang in the distance. A gentle breeze carried the scent of flowers and fresh grass. Everything felt… alive, in a way their old city never had.
The family then saw their house. It was almost a mansion just from its size alone. Tall white walls, wide glass windows, a sloped roof, and a small but lush garden in front. And these same mansions were everywhere their vision went.
All the mansions were beautiful, but they were all the same!
Just as they were admiring the beauty and questioning in their minds why they were all identical, they saw a man exiting the house directly in front of them and walking toward them.
The man's house was exactly opposite theirs. It meant they were neighbors.
The family got ready to greet their neighbor.
But Ubao suddenly shouted with pleasant surprise, "Gyumi!"
The man in front was none other than Gyumi, his coworker.
Gyumi smiled when he heard Ubao recognize him. He said in a jokingly manner, "Ubao, you're my neighbor from now on. Thank God. Now I don't have to fear thieves breaking into my house, because we have our black belt fighter here. Hahaha!"
Ubao became embarrassed hearing this. He remembered his little stunt back at the company.
His family became curious about their talk. His sisters asked, "Brother, when did you gain a black belt?"
Ubao didn't answer and just changed the subject quickly. "Gyumi, let's not talk about it. First, tell me your experience while coming here. Because we had an extraordinary experience. We're not able to believe our eyes."
He then explained his experience in pieces, giving just a vague idea—teleportation, invisible car, clouds rushing past.
Gyumi heard this calmly and said, "You're not alone. I also experienced the same. I talked with my maid inside. She said that this is a new technology. We don't have to know other details."
Ubao and his family were not convinced hearing this, but they reluctantly accepted it. It was easier to believe in "secret technology" than whatever impossible truth lay behind it.
Then Ubao said, "Gyumi, if we will be neighbors from now on, let's make our families familiar with each other. What do you think?"
Gyumi just replied, "It's not even a question. I came outside to call you for this. But first, you and your family go and familiarize yourself with the house and maid. After resting, let's go to the restaurant to dine. My maid told me about it. It's one of the ten restaurants here. And my maid also told me that we are currently on an island, and this island is divided into two parts—one where our houses are, and the other is the area of headquaters."
"And as for other details, your maid will tell you. Bye now."
Then he began moving toward his house.
And Ubao and his family also moved toward their house.
The same scene was happening everywhere on this part of the island—families stepping out of invisible cars, staring in awe at the identical mansions, meeting neighbors, exchanging bewildered smiles, and slowly beginning to accept their new reality.
The relocation was complete.
The new life had begun.

Meanwhile, the Ether Clone was watching all of this quietly.
From the highest point of the central tower, he overlooked the entire island domain. Families settling into identical mansions, children running across lawns, employees unpacking essentials in their new homes. The air carried the faint scent of blooming flowers from the gardens—everything peaceful, orderly, almost too perfect.
He had already created everything necessary. Houses, roads, parks, hospitals, restaurants...
But he also didn't plan to give food, clothes, or luxuries for free forever. That would only make things less valuable. People needed to feel the weight of effort, the satisfaction of earning.
So he had created a different banking system.
