"There really are so many geniuses in this world."
There are so many geniuses in this world.
Chen Fan sighed softly and didn't say anything more. He was also a little tired after a busy day.
The matter in Northbank City has come to a temporary end.
Next, he plans to complete the basic infrastructure of "Mortal Domain" and prepare for the "Auction" in a month. He wants to open up Trade Route Jiangnan Jiangbei to sell all his high-quality and inexpensive goods.
Even if others disagree.
We have to endure it.
When he's in a good mood, he earns Constant Trickle slowly and steadily.
Feeling down, I put down a large amount of cash in front of the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot to clear out my inventory.
Northbank City.
The Market Master of North River Market, a Level 2 Builder, knelt expressionlessly before his ancestral hall, gazing at the portraits of his ancestors hanging on the wall, murmuring, "Ancestors, you've done so much for me down there."
"How did it suddenly become the strongest force in Northbank City?"
I'm not ready yet.
North River Market.
Originally, it was ranked fourth in Northbank City, but it was considered a neutral force, and few people mentioned it. When Northbank City was mentioned, people would talk about the other forces.
He also wanted to join the ranks of the four major powers.
But it's difficult.
After the Rainy Season ends.
When the Qiuhe Wang Family found him and mortgaged their own Camp, he knew his opportunity had arrived. Perhaps he could replace the Qiuhe Wang Family as one of the Three Great Powers in Northbank City, but what happened next happened too quickly.
It was so fast that there was no time to react.
First, the Mortal Domain arrived in Northbank City and wiped out the "North River Chen Family". Then, the Wild Wolf Gang announced that all of them had joined the Mortal Domain.
The Three Great Powers in Northbank City were all wiped out overnight.
His North River Market has become the most powerful force in Northbank City.
This happiness came too suddenly.
He did nothing.
How did the harvest suddenly become so abundant?
Soon.
Daylight broke.
On the Nameless Mountain, a group of people were busy working outside.
Chen Fan then gathered the Crippled Monkey on the City Wall to discuss the future plans for the Camp.
"Currently in the Mortal Domain."
"We have received 42 people from the 'Qiuhe Wang Family,' including 12 women. These are all relatives of Wang Qiuhao and are also official members of the Mortal Domain, responsible for logistics."
Chen Fan sat on the City Wall, planning a famous scene.
"I plan to arrange these women in the 'Life Workshop,' Little Qiu, how many do you need?"
"For women, three are enough."
After thinking for a moment, Little Qiu said, "They're for handling some trivial tasks, but many jobs in the Life Workshop require grabbing the sledgehammer, so I need three more men. For now, these are enough."
"Good."
Chen Fan nodded in agreement. "You can go down and choose your own people later."
"Establish the 'Logistics Pavilion' for the Mortal Domain, with Little Qiu as its first Pavilion Master. This department will be responsible for the Mortal Domain's logistics, such as the 'Life Workshop' and the 'Vehicle Workshop.' In the future, once the Alchemy Workshop and Artifact Workshop are built, they will also be managed by this department."
The words had barely left his mouth.
He pulled out a Token he had forged the night before and handed it to Little Qiu: "You are the first 'Logistics Pavilion' Pavilion Master Mortal Domain Realm. This is your Identity Token, and also your Life Tablet."
"Possesses partial building Access Rights in the Mortal Domain."
"There are no suitable candidates for the Deputy Pavilion Master at the moment. We will find a suitable Deputy Pavilion Master to assist you when the Logistics Pavilion gets busier."
After taking a deep breath, Little Qiu stood up, took the Token with both hands with a serious expression, and said hoarsely, "I will definitely not disappoint the Domain Lord."
The others looked at Little Qiu with envy.
Wang Kui, in particular, was deeply saddened.
A long time ago.
When he was still at the Wasteland Station, Little Qiu was his Attendant. Now, he has become the head of a pavilion in the Mortal Domain, in charge of logistics.
Everyone knows that.
Today is the day to share the spoils.
We've all worked so hard together during the Rainy Season, and today is the day to reap the rewards. If you can get an important position now, as long as you don't make any big mistakes in the Mortal Domain, you'll basically rise through the ranks.
There's no need to consider promotion.
The Mortal Domain will automatically upgrade.
Ascending to the Mortal Domain signifies their ascension.
"Um."
Chen Fan chuckled and gestured for Little Qiu to sit down, "The Logistics Pavilion isn't responsible for much yet, so get used to it and learn as much as you can. You'll be able to handle things when things get busier later."
He appointed Little Qiu for only three reasons.
First, Little Qiu is indeed skilled in Life Workshop.
Secondly, Little Qiu's performance during the Rainy Season was commendable; he risked his life to leave the city to retrieve the Eerie Stone.
Third, he is an elderly person and can be Trust.
Based on these three points, there's no reason for him not to use Little Qiu.
Next is--
"Hundred Grains Pavilion"
99
"The main responsibility is the planting and breeding of Mortal Domain, including medicinal herbs brought from the Pill Sect, as well as the 'Hundred Herbs Garden' that will be established later. Everything involving planting and breeding will be handled by the Hundred Grains Pavilion."
"Even Weiwei is handled by the Hundred Grains Pavilion."
Qi Chong was appointed as the first Pavilion Master "Hundred Grains Pavilion", A Le was appointed as the Deputy Pavilion Master.
Chen Fan took out two more Identity Token he had crafted the night before and handed them to Qi Chong and A Le.
"Thank you, Domain Lord."
The two stood up at the same time, took the Token, looked at each other, and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.
Qi Chong vaguely recalled what A Le had once told him.
"What you do isn't important; who you do it with is."
"Following the right person leads to promotion, doing the right thing leads to wealth; following the right person and doing the right thing is the key to promotion and wealth."
"Farming brings honor to the family, raising pigs brings glory to our ancestors; the two of us together bring glory to our ancestors."
It has to be said.
A Le's awareness is truly high.
They used to be stinking farmers.
What is it now?
Qi Chong is now the Pavilion Master of the Hundred Grains Pavilion in the Mortal Domain!
"Your tasks will be very heavy over the next month."
Chen Fan pointed to the Canyon: "Within this month, we need to move many buildings outside the Canyon build a city outside, such as Farmland, which can't fit inside the Cave."
"We need to plant all those Exotic Plant we harvested this time."
"Even medicinal herbs need to be transplanted."
"Among the Jade Slip brought back by the Pill Sect, there are instructions on the cultivation and maintenance of medicinal herbs. Study them carefully in your spare time."
Immediately afterwards.
"There's also the 'Heavenly Storehouse Pavilion,' which is responsible for the storage and management of the Mortal Domain. Exotic Treasure, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Eerie Stone, Martial Technique, ancient books, and more are all stored in the Heavenly Storehouse Pavilion."
"We don't distinguish between the Spirit Treasure Pavilion and the Book Repository or anything like that."
Put them all together.
The first Pavilion Master Wang Kui; there is currently no Deputy Pavilion Master.
He took out his Identity Token from his pocket and handed it to Wang Kui: "Your responsibilities are heavy. You are in charge of all the resources of the Mortal Domain. Even the slightest loss is intolerable. You must take good care of yourself."
"And there's the 'Commerce Pavilion.' King Mazi, you'll be the first Pavilion Master. You'll be in full charge of this Auction. After the Rainy Season ends, you need to quickly assemble a Caravan, build Station along the way, and establish business connections with other forces."
"Zhou Mo, you will serve as the War Pavilion Master, Big Fish will serve as the Deputy Pavilion Master."
"You are responsible for the daily security of the Camp and City within the mortal Mortal Domain, as well as for any outings. You need to improve your Cultivation as soon as possible."
"The 'Punishment Pavilion,' you, Crippled Monkey, will serve as its Pavilion Master, responsible for internal oversight, possessing the right to supervise all other Pavilion Master, and will be responsible for judging those who violate the rules of the Mortal Domain, upholding the rules of the Mortal Domain, and conducting interrogations, etc."
"Shadow Pavilion"
Chen Fan paused for a moment.
He pulled a Token from his pocket and looked at Shao Qiu, who sat solemnly to the side. "Responsible for assassinations and intelligence gathering outside the Mortal Domain."
"You need to establish an intelligence network within the Mortal Domain as soon as possible, including acquiring the capability to carry out assassinations. Don't let me down."
"Little Qiu, you will take the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot back to Northbank City to bring back the Wild Wolf Gang, and also gather a group of workers."
"The rest of you can go and choose your men."
Outside the City Wall.
The Qiuhe Wang Family and the North River Chen Family stood on the ground, their faces filled with trepidation as they awaited their fate.
Oh, by the way.
"Last night, Little Qiu used 'Cloud Cloth' to make 10 robes, and made one for each of you. Go find Little Qiu to collect them."
After doing all this.
Chen Fan stretched and walked into the Camp.
The basic form of the Mortal Domain is almost complete.
He needs to go back to sleep.
He didn't sleep well at all during the Rainy Season, living in constant fear. Now that the Rainy Season is over, he can finally get a few days of rest.
These past few days.
Not a single Strange Entities has ever been seen rushing into the Camp.
After the Rainy Season, the Strange Entities will generally no longer attack the Eerie Fire.
"Hehe, hehe..."
Wang Kui stood outside the City Wall, gazing at the Bronze Mirror hanging on the cliff face, admiring his new attire with satisfaction. It was made by the "Logistics Pavilion".
A robe made of "Cloud Cloth".
It is entirely crimson red.
The inscription on his chest reads "Heavenly Storehouse Pavilion | Mortal Domain Banner," signifying that he is the Heavenly Storehouse Pavilion Master in the Mortal Domain. The Mortal Domain now has a unified uniform.
Only the Pavilion Master may wear a crimson robe.
The people below were all dressed in black.
Chen Fan cyan.
This is an official robe. Although Shao Qiu also has one, he certainly wouldn't wear a crimson robe to kill someone when Shao Qiu goes out on an assassination mission.
Winter Season has arrived, and temperatures are starting to drop.
But wearing this robe, he felt no cold at all, and it was also very light, almost weightless. He then glanced at the Identity Token of the "Heavenly Storehouse Pavilion" Pavilion Master in his hand.
He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
The Mortal Domain is on the right track.
And he finally got what he wanted.
That's quite a style.
He was starting to look forward to the Auction a month from now, which would also be the day he officially made his public debut, after which he would have a formal name in the martial arts world.
Master of the Mortal Domain's Heavenly Storehouse Pavilion Master.
A name that is catchy enough.
It's no longer a title like "site Station Master of the Qiuhe Wang Family Station 17".
Qi Chong and A Le walked side by side outside the Camp, pacing back and forth in front of the crowd, seemingly selecting suitable personnel in a very professional manner.
Actually, he just couldn't resist showing off.
Previously, the two of them worked at the Sky-Pacifying Merchant Association, where they were at the lowest level, farming and raising pigs.
Lowest status.
Now it has completely transformed.
They've become successful adults.
"Huh?"
A Le suddenly noticed a Middle-Aged Man dodging him in the crowd, and couldn't help but grin. "Old manager, you're here too."
"Pavilion Master Qi, I want this person. I think he'd be perfect for raising pigs."
"Alright, as you wish."
Upon hearing the title "Pavilion Master Qi," Qi Chong felt his body go weak and immediately responded with a broad smile. "Pavilion Master Qi" sounded truly pleasant.
Comfortable.
It makes everyone who listens feel completely comfortable.
With a somewhat grim expression, Shao Qiu examined each person's physique one by one. He was eager to assemble the Shadow Pavilion and carry out the first assassination mission issued by the Mortal Domain to prove himself.
But the people in front of us are all in very poor physical condition.
It's not that their Cultivation is low.
Cultivation his cultivation level is low. With the Spirit-Nurturing Pavilion around and the Domain Lord willing to invest heavily, he can quickly raise his Cultivation. The problem is that he's too old.
There aren't many young people.
The best candidates for the Shadow Pavilion are young people, not these old men in their thirties and forties. He admitted that these old men might be good at being Station Master, but they are not suitable for training someone who can perform assassination missions well.
Neither of them will work.
They're all too old and have no potential.
He looked around somewhat irritably, not knowing how to choose. He even tried to pick the best among the short ones, but none of them stood out. They were all uniformly short.
Just then -
The Nine-Five Dragon Chariot returned.
Little Qiu returned with the Wild Wolf Gang members.
Shao Qiu was slightly taken aback, then his eyes lit up and he strode forward. This group of people were all young and promising; picking out 10 of them would be no problem at all.
Soon.
He then found a promising talent.
A thin, frail boy looked somewhat apprehensive, his eyes darting around, and his body wasn't very strong.
"Good."
He nodded in satisfaction, took out a sticker with "Shadow Pavilion" printed on it from his pocket, stuck it on the man, and then waved his hand. "Go on."
The person this kind of person wants at this moment is not someone whose preferences are already largely set, unlike others.
Today is the day for selecting personnel.
Each Pavilion Master can place the corresponding sticker on a suitable person. If a person has stickers from two Pavilion Masters on them, then we can discuss it later.
Try to make the best use of everyone's talents.
"Forehead..."
The Crippled Monkey was alone in the Camp, comparing the family rules of the "North River Chen Family", the family rules of the "Qiuhe Wang Family", and the clan rules of the "Pill Sect", preparing to draft a version of the rules for the Mortal Domain.
Establish the rules.
As the Pavilion Master the Punishment Pavilion, he has the right to supervise the other Pavilion Master.
In other words.
Chen Fan was practically telling everyone outright that the Crippled Monkey was his absolute Trusted Aide.
This sense of importance and Trust fueled his immense enthusiasm for his work.
The entire Nameless Mountain.
It has never been this lively before.
Even Weiwei was initially a bit socially awkward and hid away, came out now, lying outside the City Wall, its tail slapping the ground excitedly.
Everyone is busy, busy with their own things.
Only Chen Fan was there...
He was taking a nap inside, sound asleep, as if having a wonderful dream.
He's been working himself to death these days.
He needs a good night's sleep; let the Crippled Monkey handle the rest.
P. S.: Qidian launched a new event at the end of the year. Readers who reach 3000 fan points under any author's book can receive that author's fan title. Eligible readers can check it out if they're interested.
I wasn't originally planning to talk about this.
You can only choose one author's fan title.
I thought everyone would definitely choose the established authors, not me.
I was surprised to see that more than a dozen people chose me... I'm a little touched, thank you.
