City of Sin, this dark fortress that has stood in the Chaotic Star Sea for tens of thousands of years, ushered in its new era today.
As Dugu Batian's head rolled to the ground, and City Lord's Mansion's announcement came from the hall, the whole city seemed to have experienced a magnitude 10 earthquake. After a brief period of dead silence, there was a hustle and bustle mixed with fear, confusion and ecstasy.
City Lord's Mansion In the main hall.
The original gloomy "dark Black Wind" decoration, covered with skulls and furs of unknown creatures, has been completely demolished. Lin Feng is a fastidious person, or in other words, a nouveau riche. He thought it was unlucky, so with a wave of his hand, he ordered Liu Ming to take people to do a thorough "spring cleaning" and "fine decoration" of the entire mansion.
The current hall is magnificent.
The floors were all paved with top-quality spiritual jade, each piece of which was priceless; the pillars were painted with gold powder bought from the deep sea shark Human Race, shining brightly under the light of the night pearl; even the two originally ferocious and terrifying stone beasts at the door were ordered by Lin Feng to be replaced with two huge waving lucky cats made of pure gold.
The style of the film changed suddenly, from a horror film to a New Year comedy.
At this moment, Lin Feng crossed Second Son's legs, sitting on the brand new golden throne, holding the just-acquired title deed with Dugu Batian's blood stains in his hand, and was giving instructions to the system.
"Tongzi, change this bad name. 'City of Sin' sounds like a villain den. Although we are indeed not good people, we still have to pay attention to the corporate image and packaging, right?"
[Ding! Please name the host.]
Lin Feng touched his chin, his eyes shining with ambition. "Just call...Heavenly Strategy Manor·Star Sea Branch!"
"I want these three words to become the most coveted and feared synonym for Immortal World!"
"Liu Ming!"
"My subordinate is here!" Liu Ming raised his head from a pile of account books, his face was haggard from working overtime, but his eyes were extremely bright.
"Go and replace the gloomy plaque at the city gate! Use the most expensive Black-and-Yellow Divine Jade and engrave these seven characters! The characters must be big, bright, and have special effects! Let a blind man pass by and feel the aura of the trench!"
"Yes!"
Liu Ming followed the order and left. In less than half an hour, a giant jade tablet with a height of one hundred feet was erected at the gate of the city. It was full of light and divine light, directly dispersing the haze of a hundred miles around. Each of the three characters "Heavenly Strategy Manor" contained a hint of sword intent injected by Lin Feng, which was extremely domineering.
Next, is the most critical step - rectifying defense and recruiting troops.
"Liu Ming, post a notice."
Lin Feng was chewing the top-quality spiritual melon seeds redeemed by the system, and ordered like a wealthy landowner, "We are new here. Although we have taken over the territory, we are short of people. Most of the original guards are just wallflowers and unreliable. Although I am not short of money, I am short of real thugs."
"Recruit soldiers! The salary... I'll give it a higher salary! Ordinary soldiers, the monthly salary is ten yuan High-Grade Immortal Crystal! Plus the opportunity to bathe in the 'Spiritual Pond' once a month! Double the amount for the squad leader! For the commander level, you will get a Acquired Spiritual Treasure directly! It's the kind with attributes!"
Liu Ming, who was drinking water, sprayed it all over the floor.
"Ahem! Boss, are you serious? Ten yuan High-Grade Immortal Crystal?! In the past, Dugu Batian was so stingy that he only gave ten yuan Mid-Grade Immortal Crystal to the Guards for a month! You have directly raised the industry standard by a hundred times! This will cause inflation!"
"Isn't the structure too small?" Lin Feng glanced at him, with a look of hatred on his face, "Where is our Heavenly Strategy Manor? It's the Shenhao Concentration Camp! If you give me less, I'm a loser! I want everyone in the Star Sea to know that following me Lin Feng, it was the past tense to starve for three meals a day, but now it's nine meals a day!"
"But-"
Lin Feng changed the topic, and his originally joking eyes became as sharp as a knife, "I only want elites. I don't want those trash who only bully the old, weak, sick and disabled, or just stab the knives in the back."
"Add a note to the notice: Fugui and I will be the recruitment interviewers. Only 'evil people' who pass the assessment are eligible to take my money. What I want is a wolf, not a dog."
As soon as the news came out, the entire City of Sin--oh no, Heavenly Strategy Manor branch was instantly boiling!
Countless desperadoes, wandering monks, and even demons wanted by major sects hiding in dark corners all rushed to the registration point with red eyes. The scene was a hundred times crazier than grabbing eggs at a discount in the supermarket in the previous life.
City Lord's Mansion The square is packed with people, Sha Qi soaring to the sky.
Lin Feng was sitting on a high platform, with a table in front of him. Fugui was squatting on the table, with a big gold chain hanging around his neck, holding a "passed" and "eliminated" sign in his hand, with a serious face (pretend).
The first person who came up for the interview was a three-meter-tall man with a sinewy face, carrying a ghost-headed sword that was still bleeding, and exuding a strong smell of blood.
"My name is Zhao Tiezhu! I am known as 'Ghosts' Bane'! I have killed eight hundred mortals and massacred thirty villages! Am I ruthless enough?" The big man slapped his chest, making the fat meat on it tremble, and he looked proud.
Lin Feng didn't even raise his eyelids, or even look at him, and waved directly. "Eliminate. Next one."
"Why?!" Zhao Tiezhu was dissatisfied and stared angrily, "I am an evil person! This does not meet the standards?"
"What's the point of bullying mortals? That's cowardly and rubbish." Lin Feng said coldly, with a hint of disdain in his tone, "The real villain is wielding a knife against the strong and saying no to the rules. People like you who only dare to attack people who are weaker than you are not worthy of joining me Heavenly Strategy Manor."
"I don't accept it! I want to fight you in a duel!" Zhao Tiezhu yelled, raising his knife and charging.
"Fugui, see you off."
"Squeak!"
Fugui turned into an afterimage, and its seemingly small hind legs instantly burst out with a terrifying force, kicking Zhao Tiezhu on the butt.
"Boom!"
Zhao Tiezhu flew out like a cannonball, drew a beautiful parabola in the air, flew directly three thousand meters away, and disappeared into the sky.
"Next!"
The second person who came up was a thin man with sinister features. He looked extremely wretched and made no sound when he walked.
"Hehe, Young Master Lin, the younger one's name is 'Three Hands'. I don't have much fighting power, but I have stolen the underwear of the ten major sects of the righteous way... Oh no, it's a secret book! I also gave laxatives to those hypocrites who claim to be righteous, and let them fight at the Daoism Conference for three days and three nights, and they were disgraced!"
Lin Feng's eyes lit up and he put down the melon seeds in his hand.
"What a talent! This method, which is not fatal but extremely disgusting and can break the opponent's mentality, is my favorite!"
"Passed! Registered as 'Special Reconnaissance Brigade', monthly salary is twenty yuan High-Grade Immortal Crystal! Your task is to find trouble for Heavenly Court's eyeliner!"
The thin man was overjoyed and knelt down and kowtowed. "Thank you Lord for your kindness! I will definitely get it for you even if I steal Queen Mother's foot-binding cloth from now on!"
"... There's no need to be so perverted, I don't accept that kind of stuff."
The next interview was even more bizarre.
Some were hired because they were so talkative that they could scold people and vomit blood, and were classified as "Taunting Battalion"; some were classified as "Logistics Archaeology Team" because they were good at digging holes and graves, and were responsible for searching for relic resources; there was also a weak-looking scholar who was chosen by Lin Feng because he planned to kill the entire Lineage, and became a member of the military division.
In just three days.
Lin Feng formed a team of three thousand people called "Elite Villains Corps".
Each of these people is a ruthless character who licks blood on the tip of a knife, and each one has special skills (although most of them are shady). But under the strong bond of money, they have an unprecedented loyalty to Lin Feng.
After all, working for someone is not selling. Working for a boss who is so generous and understands them so well is a blessing!
Night, above the city wall.
Lin Feng Looking at the brand new city, feeling the soaring luck, my heart is full of pride.
"System, start city defense upgrade mode."
[Ding! Deduct 100 million Crit Points! God Class defense formation 'Money Bulwark' has been covered!]
[Characteristics of this formation: As long as there are enough spirit stones, even if Quasi-Saint comes, you still have to kneel and knock on the door! The defense power is directly proportional to the funds invested by the host!]
As the system prompts fell, a faint golden light curtain enveloped the whole city, with faint lines of copper coins flowing on it.
"Liu Ming, just watch."
Lin Feng patted Liu Ming on the shoulder, "From today on, this is our bridgehead at Immortal World. No matter who wants to move my Lin Feng territory, they must first ask me whether I agree with the money in my hand."
Liu Ming Looking at the high-spirited back of his boss, his heart was filled with excitement. But at the same time, he also had a hint of worry and frowned slightly.
"Master, we are so high-profile that we even changed our name to the Heavenly Strategy Manor. Heavenly Court must have noticed it. They won't let it go."
"What are you afraid of?"
Lin Feng sneered and looked at the distant sky, as if penetrating the void, "I even sold that old boy Hao Tian's ring, and I'm still afraid that he will send someone to bite me? If he doesn't come, how will I shoot the trailer for the next episode of Image Recording Stone?"
"Just in time, my sword has been thirsty for a long time. Only with a few Heavenly Court fairy sacrificial flags can I be worthy of my Heavenly Strategy Manor opening!"
It seems to be to confirm what Lin Feng said.
At this moment, the originally bright starry night sky suddenly darkened without warning.
A terrifying coercion, accompanied by the thundering sound of war drums, rolled in from above Nine Heavens and instantly enveloped the entire Star Sea Branch!
That's the anger of--Heavenly Court!
