One strange entity, one day, one continent destroyed.

New Continent.

Chen Fan leaned on his Jadeite Staff, stepping on the slightly rough sand, and stood on the Coast, gazing quietly into the distance.

The sea surface is undulating.

A damp, salty sea breeze caressed my face.

The Crippled Monkey stood behind Chen Fan, staring blankly at the Young Master's clothes fluttering in the wind. He thought he had followed the Young Master for so long and should know Young Master quite well, but as the Mortal Domain grew larger and larger, he often didn't know what the Young Master was thinking.

Take now, for example.

He had no idea what the Young Master was thinking.

"Young Master..."

He called out softly.

He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He could only call out the Young Master's name, as if to say that no matter what the Mortal Domain encountered in the future, he would always be there for him.

He, the Crippled Monkey, will always be here.

Just like when I was young.

Chen Fan heard him, but he didn't turn around. He simply remained in that position, quietly gazing into the distance. After an unknown amount of time, he finally turned and walked along the beach, asking, "How is the cultural development on the Eternal Night Continent?"

"Not bad."

Seeing that the Young Master had spoken, Crippled Monkey breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed to report on the recent situation, "The best performer is still that one called 'True Person Qi,' who has written several Storybook that have been widely circulated. There are also other rising stars, such as..."

Where's the Music?

"Forehead..."

"Did no Music Cultural Birth?"

"This... it seems there isn't any available at the moment."

"Give it a push."

Chen Fan stared straight ahead, letting the waves wash over his trousers without turning around, his gaze fixed straight ahead.

"Music and words are the two greatest things in the world."

For example -

"I wish I could listen to a song right now."

1

"Young Master, are you referring to... those kinds of songs played in Brothel?"

Chen Fan stopped, leaning against the endless ocean, and gently patted Crippled Monkey's head with his cane, sighing, "It's Music that can touch people's hearts, music for appreciation, not the kind of Music for drinking and merrymaking."

"I think I understand."

The monkey rubbed his head and chuckled, "When the 'Good Cat Continent' sent people last time, I heard someone in their group humming a tune. I thought it sounded quite nice. Perhaps the two continents could exchange tunes; that way, we could accelerate the development of Music on the Eternal Night Continent."

The Young Master is in much better condition now.

Just now, the Young Master stood alone on the Seaside looking into the distance. For some reason, he felt that the Young Master was very close to him, as if he could reach him, yet there was a sense of distance that he could never reach in his lifetime.

"Um."

Chen Fan looked at the monkey's appearance and couldn't help but laugh.

"Go and inform the Foreign Publicity Pavilion that once the Undersea Tunnel to the 'Good Cat Continent' is completed, he will be responsible for contacting the Good Cat Continent. The two continents can exchange cultures."

"Take the essence and discard the dross."

The master and servant walked along the Seaside like this.

In the distance, a large number of Mortal Domain Member were either busy or waiting to watch the two. Not everyone had the opportunity to see the Mortal Domain Lord, and at this moment, they couldn't help but take a few more glances to see the backbone of the Mortal Domain and the person in power who created the Mortal Domain and brought it to such a height.

There are female Mortal Domain Member.

But the emotions in the eyes of these female Mortal Domain Member when they looked at Chen Fan were the same as those of the others; there was not a trace of affection in their eyes.

When Chen Fan first rose to prominence, many young women, like Dongmei, openly expressed their admiration for him.

As Chen Fan stood higher and higher.

That infatuation then vanished.

It turned into a different emotion.

A gender-neutral emotion.

Just then--

The giant Teleportation Formation, located far from the beach, had nearly ten thousand Formation Pattern that were lit up in an orderly fashion like dominoes. At the moment when the White Light was at its brightest, more than a dozen gigantic Ghost Emperor appeared out of thin air.

"Domain Lord!"

With an excited expression, the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu stood in the center of the Teleportation Formation, holding the Heart-Eating Wraith tightly in his palm high in the air, and shouted loudly.

"As expected, Jiu Wu has successfully captured the Ghost Emperor Heart-Eating Wraith!"

The Wraith King at this moment.

Standing in the Dusk, he resembled Triumphant Return general, or a child receiving an award for the first time, excitedly running and jumping home, holding up his certificate, expecting his father's praise.

In an instant.

All the Mortal Domain Member's attention was drawn to it, their gazes focused on the somewhat ugly "Heart-Eating Wraith" in the palm of the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu.

He was short in stature, almost like a dwarf.

Two enormous eyeballs almost took up the entire head.

Only...

At this moment, the eyeballs in the eye sockets had clearly been forcibly gouged out; the eyeballs were no longer visible, and Dark Red blood flowed from them as the eye struggled and cried out in agony.

The Mortal Domain Member initially looked over instinctively, but quickly remembered the Domain Lord's instructions not to look directly at it. However, after discovering that nothing had happened and seeing that the Heart-Eating Wraith's eyeballs had been gouged out, they looked over again.

They already know what happened on the Despair Continent.

Within one day.

All of humanity on this continent was wiped out.

The cause was this seemingly unremarkable Heart-Eating Wraith.

One cunning act, one day, and an entire continent is destroyed.

This is something that has never happened before in the Mortal Domain History Book, or even in the history of this Sea Domain.

At this moment, the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu was the focus of the entire scene. The "Heart-Eating Wraith" held high in his palm attracted everyone's attention, including the monkey, who couldn't help but look over, wanting to see what was so special about this Strange Entities that had single-handedly destroyed a continent.

Only Chen Fan.

Ever since the appearance of the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu, all eyes have been on Jiu Wu, without glancing at the Heart-Eating Wraith.

The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu smiled excitedly as he met Chen Fan's gaze.

One person and one person are treacherous.

Two species that should be irreconcilable appeared quite harmonious under the Dusk.

Jiu Wu smiled happily.

He understood the Domain Lord's gaze.

While everyone else was focused on the Heart-Eating Wraith he had captured alive, only the Domain Lord cared that he had returned. In the Domain Lord's eyes, his return was more important than the Heart-Eating Wraith that had single-handedly destroyed a continent.

Chen Fan stood quietly in place, looking at the somewhat smug and even smug expression on the face of the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu, and suddenly couldn't help but laugh, then shook his head.

"Oh shit."

He swore.

He didn't actually know why he used that swear word.

But I don't know why.

He just wants to swear right now.

Oh shit.

"Crippled Monkey, take this Heart-Eating Wraith away for interrogation. You are responsible for extracting all information from him, finding out where he learned about the Mortal Domain, which Level-3 Strange Entity Clan he comes from, how far he is from the Eternal Night Continent, and what his motive is for probing the Eternal Night Continent this time."

I need to know everything.

"Clear."

The monkey nodded emphatically, "Three days later, I will make him spill everything he knows."

A simple way to verify the authenticity of information during interrogation is to repeat the questioning multiple times, using reverse chronological order, etc.

Using methods such as chronological narration and flashbacks involves continuously asking questions to ensure the authenticity of the information as much as possible.

For example, a fabricated Lie cannot withstand scrutiny from multiple narrative perspectives.

This process takes time.

"I'll take charge of the jury, just in case this guy causes trouble."

The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu hurriedly volunteered.

"Need not."

Chen Fan shook his head. "Just send one of your Ghost Emperor. You come with me for a walk; the scenery is nice today."

Soon.

The Mortal Domain Member also went about their respective tasks.

Only Chen Fan and Weird Emperor Jiu Wu walked along the shore. The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu, who was tens of meters tall, scratched his head awkwardly. "Domain Lord, why don't you find a Ghost Emperor to stand under you?"

He was much taller than the Domain Lord.

Even though he bent over as much as he could, it was still too high.

It made him a little reserved.

"Need not."

Chen Fan shook his head, leaning on his Jadeite Staff with one hand as he stood by the Seaside, casually pointing to the sunset on the distant horizon. "How is it? Beautiful, isn't it?"

"Beautiful."

The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu gave a reply that was not what he truly meant.

Actually, he really wanted to say "just so-so".

The scenery after Dusk on the Lingyi Continent is more beautiful than here.

"Actually, you should have looked even more beautiful the day before yesterday."

"The day before yesterday was the Blue Hour, which is pure blue. There was no sunset; it was pure blue after a Torrential Rain, making it even more beautiful."

Chen Fan continued speaking to himself.

"I really like Torrential Rain, or rather, I really like that kind of extremely dangerous weather that seems to be about to destroy the whole world."

3

"But."

"I still think the scenery right now is the most beautiful."

Before the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu could reply...

Chen Fan stopped and turned to look into the distance, saying softly, "Because I'm not sure if I'll see tomorrow. For me, the most beautiful scenery is always this moment."

"Jiu Wu."

Welcome back.

"From this moment on, you will officially join the Mortal Domain, Mortal Domain resources will be at your disposal."

"If you have a need, millions of Mortal Domain Member will go to great lengths for you."

"Within a range of one million kilometers, the Sky-Piercing Pillar will accurately land on the head of every one of your enemies."

"After that."

"You will truly feel the mobilization of resources in the Mortal Domain."

"You are no longer in an awkward position in the Mortal Domain."

"As long as you don't betray the Mortal Domain."

"I will recommend you for a very high position, a position higher than you've ever imagined."

"You will occupy many chapters in the Mortal Domain History Book."

"Now."

Stand up straight.

Almost instinctively Weird Emperor Jiu Wu straightened up, took a deep breath to calm himself, and said hoarsely, "Yes, Domain Lord."

"Alright."

Chen Fan suddenly laughed, "Tell me, did you ever think back then that you could run away with that Level-3 Strange Entity Clan Heart-Eating Wraith and then fly free as a bird in the sky?"

"I am a ghost, not a bird."

After giving a silly laugh Weird Emperor Jiu Wu scratched his head and said, "That guy said a lot, even saying that I am Innate Dark Monarch, and that as long as I raise my arm and shout, countless Level-3 Strange Entity Clan will be willing to honor me as king."

I pretended to agree to get closer.

"Then, like catching Chicks, I snatched it away in one swoop."

"Never been tempted?"

"No."

The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu shook his head. "Actually, I really wanted to say that I was tempted, but because of someone else, I made up my mind. This kind of self-revealing statement seems more sincere, but the truth is, I really wasn't tempted at all..."

"Um.

Chen Fan nodded and didn't say anything more. He just looked at the clothes on the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu and laughed, "I heard from the Mortal Domain Member Eyi Continent are in charge of mining the Seabed Ruins the Eyi Continent that you only wear this outfit on important occasions?"

"Hold head high..."

The Weird Emperor Jiu Wu looked somewhat embarrassed and his gaze darted around. "Actually, it's not that. I don't usually like wearing clothes. I used to be used to not wearing clothes."

"I see."

Chen Fan sighed, feigning a sigh, "I was originally planning to have the Logistics Pavilion make a batch of clothes for you Retirement Clan, all printed with the mark of Mortal Domain Member, and then build a new 'Jiu Wu Pavilion,' appoint you as the Pavilion Master, and make you a few sets of special Pavilion Master's clothes."

"But since you're not used to it, that's fine. Anyway... wait, why did you suddenly kneel down when we were having a good chat?"

"Domain Lord!"

With red-rimmed eyes Weird Emperor Jiu Wu knelt on both knees, frantically saying, "Yes, yes, I really want this one, really! I love wearing it, I really love wearing it! It's just that there's only one set. It was a special edition of the Mortal Domain Daily that the Mortal Domain commissioned for me last time. I usually don't want to wear it, afraid of damaging it."

"And there's also that Jiu Wu Pavilion..."

"I... I really want this, Domain Lord..."

Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh again, this time a very hearty and loud laugh.

Laughter drifted away on the sea breeze.

Ignore Jiu Wu.

As they walked forward again, the sound diluted by the sea breeze couldn't mask the laughter in their voices.

Get up.

"If this Heaven and Earth truly won't give me a place to live, I'll blow this Heaven and Earth up."

Two years later.

"Who's stopping me from living?"

I'll make sure he dies before me.

"Oh shit!"

The curse was forceful and clear, without a trace of resentment; instead, the speaker laughed extremely happily, as if venting some emotion.

The monkey was conducting a preliminary interrogation of the Heart-Eating Wraith in Open Ground not far away. After witnessing this scene, he stood there dumbfounded, feeling a pang of sadness in his heart. The Young Master hadn't been smiling so happily when he was with him just now.

"The Domain Lord has figured it out."

Wang Kui, who had somehow gotten close, looked at the Domain Lord, who was already wading alone on the Seaside with his trousers rolled up, and said softly with a complicated expression, "You've been with the Domain Lord the longest, you should know that he's a person with extremely low self-esteem."

A few days ago.

"There isn't a Level-3 Strange Entity Clan in this Sea Domain. Those Strange Entity Clan that were just a step away from Third-Level Race have all been forcibly Eradication by the Domain Lord."

"We even need to Eradication those Strange Entity Clan who are just two steps away from becoming Third-Level Race this month."

"And now, suddenly, a Level-3 Strange Entity Clan has appeared."

"Think about it."

"Will the Domain Lord be afraid?"

"Young Master... are you scared?"

The Crippled Monkey stammered unconsciously, feeling that the Mortal Domain was quite strong now. Even against Third-Level Race, it should have the strength to fight back, so there was no need to be afraid.

"Fear."

Wang Kui nodded helplessly. "Why don't you understand? The fear of Domain Lord isn't about being unable to defeat a powerful enemy, but rather the fear of having an unstable factor by your side. For example, why is the Mortal Domain preparing to Eradication those Strange Entity Clan that are only two steps away from becoming Third-Level Race?"

"Because of fear."

"Is it possible that the Mortal Domain can't defeat them?"

"Of course we can win."

"Ordinary people are afraid because they can't win, but Domain Lord is afraid even if he can win. If he's afraid, he has to Eradication, and he must Eradication immediately."

"The Domain Lord is easily frightened."

"Yes." The Crippled Monkey seemed to understand something.

"And..."

Wang Kui looked at the Ghost Emperor Xiangyang beside him, who was in charge of the jury, and slowly said, "The Domain Lord was also afraid just now, that Jiu Wu would never return."

"But perhaps only Thirty Percent of the Domain Lord's true fear is the rise of a Dark Monarch."

"The other 70% are afraid of betrayal."

"This means that, in Jiu Wu's mind, the appeal of a Level-3 Strange Entity Clan is greater than that of the Mortal Domain. Being denied the development potential of the Mortal Domain and his personal charisma by his own people might be a blow to the Domain Lord."

"Is that so?"

The Crippled Monkey looked at Wang Kui with a strange expression.

"Forehead..."

Feeling somewhat insecure under the gaze of the Crippled Monkey Wang Kui subconsciously looked away. "That shouldn't be it, I'm just guessing... You know, recently True Person Qi published a novel about officialdom based on the Mortal Domain, and I've become quite engrossed in it, so I couldn't help but over-analyze it."

"Oh, I know that. It's said that the main character was based on you, Wang Kui. You've been reading your autobiography, haven't you?"

"Enough with the nagging, just get on with your interrogation. The Domain Lord may be smiling happily now, but he's still terrified."

You know.

"If the Domain Lord is afraid, war will break out."

"If this Wasteland Clan isn't wiped out in two years, you can forget about seeing the Domain Lord sleeping soundly."

Wang Kui is gone.

Although the Heart-Eating Wraith has been captured, the mess on the Despair Continent still needs to be resolved.

The Ghost Emperor Xiangyang, who was in charge of the jury, stood still and glanced at the busy Mortal Domain Member around him, then looked at the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu following behind the Domain Lord in the distance. He seemed to understand his boss's choice.

In the end, he still chose to come back with the boss.

He had only known the boss for a short time.

But he had a good impression of the leader, who was loyal and righteous. Knowing that he had only recently joined, the leader specially trained him and introduced him to his old subordinates, making him feel a sense of respect he had never felt before.

So.

Although he didn't agree with the boss's decision at the time, he still followed the boss back.

"Very good."

"Xiangyang, when I saw you choose this name for yourself, I knew we were family."

Then.

The eldest brother was laughing very happily.

Just then--

He felt a sharp pain in his ankle.

A Mortal Domain Member pulled a Skeleton Horse to his side, and as if afraid he wouldn't hear him, shouted at the top of his lungs, "Xiangyang, Level 2 Member of the 'Jiu Wu Pavilion' of the Mortal Domain!"

"These are custom-made outfits for you from the Logistics Pavilion, exclusively for the Mortal Domain."

Three sets in total.

"Any items damaged should be registered and replaced accordingly."

"The monthly salary for Level 2 Member of the Mortal Domain is 1000 Ghost Coin."

"This is the latest Identity Token in the Mortal Domain. It has Positioning Formation and a newly developed 'Message Stone' inserted by the Formation Pavilion. It has the functions of identifying oneself, locating the user, transmitting voice messages, and Access Rights to certain buildings."

"Your Token currently does not grant you any building control Access Rights."

"As for the rest, here is the Mortal Domain Handbook. Take it back and study it yourself."

After shouting at the top of his lungs, the Mortal Domain Member struggled to lift the huge stack of clothes from the Horse-Drawn Carriage and place it heavily at Xiangyang's feet.

Then he led the Horse-Drawn Carriage towards the other Ghost Emperor.

On this Horse-Drawn Carriage.

It was filled with Clothing that the Logistics Pavilion had just ordered.

From the time Chen Fan officially established the Jiu Wu Pavilion to the production of the first batch of custom-made Clothing, less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the Clothing was freshly made in the New Continent's Life Workshop.

Under the leadership of the Logistics Pavilion, the logistics supply speed of the Mortal Domain has always maintained an extremely fast pace.

The Logistics Pavilion's declaration is...

There is no fastest, only faster.

The Ghost Emperor Xiangyang stared blankly at the piles of Clothing at his feet and the huge Identity Token on top of them, then glanced at the Mortal Domain Member was pulling the Horse-Drawn Carriage away into the distance.

It touched me slightly.

He seems to be...

Suddenly I understand what the words "Mortal Domain" represent.

"That..."

This was his first formal conversation with Mortal Domain Member. He glanced at the Crippled Monkey being interrogated nearby and hesitated, "Crippled Monkey Pavilion Master, if someone stronger than Chen Fan, who can absolutely lead you to a high level, were to become your new leader, would you elect this person?"

"Are you crazy?"

The Crippled Monkey looked at him as if he were a fool, then raised its head and gazed at the Ghost Emperor Xiangyang.

Can you?

Xiangyang looked at Zhou Mo, who had just walked over, again. He didn't recognize this person and had never seen him before.

"I?"

"I'll shove that guy's head up his ass."

Zhou Mo gave Xiangyang a strange look, then poked the Crippled Monkey's kidney. "Who's this guy? He looks unfamiliar."

"The new Subordinate Jiu Wu recruited from the Heaven-Slaying Continent seem a bit dull. Putting that aside, what are you doing in the New Continent? Aren't you going to take care of things back there?"

"It's complicated to report things to the Domain Lord in person. We, the 'War Pavilion,' have caught the person who spread rumors in the Eastern Region the Eternal Night Continent a few days ago."

"Um?"

Monkey frowned. "What are you talking about? The relevant personnel arrested them on the spot. I remember it was Shao Qiu who personally made the arrests?"

"Moreover, the Domain Lord assigned Shao Qiu to handle this matter at the time."

He didn't grab the right one.

Zhou Mo coughed lightly, feigning nonchalance. "I caught the real mastermind behind it all."

Actually...

There's no need to report in person.

But-

Good heavens!

Could you please take a look at their "War Pavilion"? How difficult is it for their War Pavilion to achieve any merit? They have maintained peace Peace on the Eternal Night Continent, that's true, and they have made contributions, but they haven't made any truly significant contributions that can be brought to the forefront!

The entire War Pavilion desperately needed such a great achievement.

He immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Such malicious rumors must have been premeditated. How could the people involved be caught so quickly? Therefore, he sent War Pavilion Members to the area to investigate in detail.

He finally caught him.

What the "Shadow Pavilion" failed to do.

They, the "War Pavilion," succeeded.

I've finally earned this merit, I must report it in person!

Not even a day later.

"By the way, how is the Domain Lord in a good mood right now?"

"Very nice."

That would be even better.

Zhou Mo nodded with satisfaction. "I'm going to report to the Domain Lord. I'll treat you to a small drink tonight, and we'll have a big celebration at my Victory Banquet."

He hummed a little tune as he prepared to report to the Domain Lord in person.

It was finally his turn to make a contribution.

I'm in such a great mood!

I'm happy.

But not long after...

Zhou Mo rushed back, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Where is the Domain Lord? I can't find him."

"It was just there a moment ago."

The monkey looked towards the Seaside: "They should have returned to the Mortal Domain by now. Why don't you use Message Talisman to Domain Lord you have something to report?"

"No, I need to report this in person; that feeling of being caught off guard..."

Isn't it urgent?

"It's not urgent, I'll talk to you later, I'm going back to the Mortal Domain."

"Go."

"Pavilion Master Zhou Mo."

Beside the New Continent Teleportation Formation, a Mortal Domain Member looked at Zhou Mo apologetically. "Your Identity Token shows that you only have three chances to use the continent-level Teleportation Formation per day."

You've used it all up for today.

"Cannot be used again."

"You can also pay for it yourself."

"The cost of the Teleportation Formation from the New Continent to the Nameless Mountain in the Mortal Domain is 500,000 Ghost Coin. As a Level 9 member, you have access to a 30% Access Rights on internal shopping, so you only need to spend 150,000 Eerie Stone."

Zhou Mo stood frozen in place, his face turning somewhat pale.

After receiving the news today, he took the Teleportation Formation to the Eastern Region the Eternal Night Continent. With one round trip and his trip to the New Continent, he used up all three of his opportunities.

Since the establishment of "Finance Pavilion"

That Finance Pavilion Master, Tian Ce.

He was also at the Top Ranker the "Arithmetic" list, with a body full of muscles. He used to be the Shopkeeper of a restaurant, and you can tell he must have eaten a lot of his own beef.

Several policies were promulgated.

One of these issues is the misuse of Teleportation Formation within the Mortal Domain. For non-urgent personnel transport, Teleportation Formation are used instead of Flying Boat, High-Speed Rail, or other similar means of transport.

This results in significant internal losses for the Mortal Domain each month related to transportation.

Then...

Taking advantage of the upgrade of the Mortal Domain Identity Token Identity Token, the "Finance Pavilion" stipulated the maximum number of times each person could ride the Teleportation Formation per day.

According to the current internal membership ranking system of the Mortal Domain, the Pavilion Master is one level higher, which is level nine.

There is only one Level 10 member, and that is the Domain Lord.

Some departments require multiple trips.

For example... "Logistics Pavilion", the Logistics Pavilion Master Little Qiu is also a level nine member, and can use the Cross-Continent Teleportation Formation array 10 times a day.

Even though the Pavilion Master of "War Pavilion" and "Hundred Grains Pavilion" are level nine members, they only have a quota of 3 times.

You can apply for assistance if needed.

During wartime, it will be fully activated without restrictions.

All Mortal Domain.

During peacetime, only Chen Fan, the Crippled Monkey, and... the entire Formation Pavilion can use the Cross-Continent Teleportation Formation without limit on the number of times.

Chen Fan didn't need to say anything more; the Finance Pavilion wasn't bold enough to set rules for Chen Fan.

The Crippled Monkey was responsible for accompanying them, so naturally it was also included.

As for the Formation Pavilion...

It cannot be restricted.

The Teleportation Formation was built by them, so what's with the restrictions?

Furthermore, the Teleportation Formation developed by the Formation Pavilion are meant to be used multiple times. If you don't allow people to use them, how can you develop them?

It has to be said.

The effects were immediate.

It did indeed save a lot of internal expenses on Eerie Stone, and these savings are all thanks to the "Finance Pavilion".

Mainly...

Everyone was indeed a little guilty.

In the past, some Mortal Domain Member did indeed secretly use the Teleportation Formation to go out and have fun. After finishing their work, they would secretly use the Teleportation Formation to go to the Eastern Region for a drink and then return at night.

Convenient and quick.

That's not possible now.

At least publicly funded travel has been cut.

Do I need to pay for it myself?

The "Finance Pavilion member" standing guard beside the Teleportation Formation stared at him expectantly.

No, thank you.

Zhou Mo gritted his teeth slightly. He didn't lack these Ghost Coin, but the main problem was that it was getting dark and his limit would be refreshed soon, so using them now would be too wasteful.

"I'll wait until it gets dark."

As soon as Tianyi and the quota was refreshed, he immediately returned to the Mortal Domain to report to the Domain Lord in person.

The next moment -

"Standing as punishment?"

Wang Kui walked over from a distance, looking at Zhou Mo with some surprise. "Why are you standing here without moving?"

Are you going to reply or not?

"It's none of your business."

Zhou Mo spoke each word with a blank expression.

"Did you eat a knife?"

Wang Kui gave Zhou Mo a strange look. "Is this how everyone becomes Cultivation is high? Their tempers all explode. If you're not going to reply, I'll reply first."

That's all.

Wang Kui strode into the Teleportation Formation and quickly disappeared from the spot.

Why didn't you stop him?

Zhou Mo couldn't help but say, "I watched him use the Cross-Continent Teleportation Formation several times today. He must have used up his quota, and he didn't pay with Ghost Coin."

"Pavilion Master Wang Kui has a daily quota of 50 uses of the Cross-Continent Teleportation Formation, Pavilion Master Wang Kui specifically applied for with the Finance Pavilion."

"Come!"

Zhou Mo was almost amused by his amusement, and rolled up his sleeves. "Tell me his reasons for applying. I want to see what kind of reason could grant him 50 uses of the Cross-Continent Teleportation Formation per day."

Is he trying to mend the sky?

"Running back and forth?"

"This..."

The member of the Mortal Domain Finance Pavilion lowered his head and whispered, "I don't have access to information on this right now."

"But..."

"The Finance Pavilion was only recently established; previously, the 'Heavenly Storehouse Pavilion' was responsible for the Finance Pavilion duties in the Mortal Domain."

Zhou Mo remained silent, the meaning of his words already quite clear.

It's purely based on facial recognition.

He suddenly realized something: ever since he had drinks with the Domain Lord last time, he had been focused on his job and the Eastern Region behind the rumors in the east, and it seemed that he hadn't had a proper get-together with his old buddies.

Looks like we need to find some time to get together.

It's definitely not appropriate to involve the Domain Lord in this kind of matter.

Perhaps it would be more suitable to approach Wang Kui.

This guy.

He's practically made himself a deputy Domain Lord.

That's pretty arrogant.

"Standing as punishment?"

Just then--

The monkey, looking somewhat weary, walked over from a distance. "I need to go back and get some weapons. This guy's been acting all mischievous, all talk and no action. What are you doing standing here?"

"Enjoy the scenery."

Zhou Mo forced himself to speak, not wanting his old friends to know that he, a dignified pavilion Pavilion Master and a level nine member, had been stopped because he didn't have enough quota for using the intercontinental Teleportation Formation.

"The scenery is indeed beautiful."

"What a pity."

The monkey remarked with some emotion, "You weren't here the day before yesterday. It had just Torrential Rain here, and the whole sky was a dark Blue Grade, extremely beautiful. The Domain Lord said it was called something like 'Blue Hour'."

"I'll head back now."

"Take your time and look at it."

"The scenery in the New Continent is indeed beautiful; you should come and visit more often when you have time."

The Crippled Monkey disappeared right in front of him, using the Teleportation Formation.

"Call..."

Zhou Mo took a slow, deep breath, closed his eyes, and waited patiently. It would be dark soon, and the limit would be refreshed soon. He had endured for so long; if he gave away the Ghost Coin now, all his efforts would be in vain.

Just then--

"Pavilion Master Zhou Mo, what are you doing...?"

A questioning voice came from behind.

He saw "Long Live the Strategist Pavilion Master" looking at him with a mixture of respect and doubt.

"Long Live the Pavilion Master!"

Zhou Mo laughed. As the former Pavilion Master, he still felt a bit superior when facing the Pavilion Master of Long Live. He casually waved his hand and said with a smile.

"To handle some official business."

"It's not convenient to disclose that, so it's best not to ask too many questions."

Long Live's expression gradually turned strange. "Um... the Strategist Pavilion indeed hasn't Synchronization the information from the 'War Pavilion.' Well, Pavilion Master Zhou Mo, you go ahead with your work. I need to go back and report to the Domain Lord to handle the follow-up matters on the Despair Continent."

The Strategist Pavilion Synchronization information from several departments, including the Logistics Pavilion, the Heavenly Storehouse Pavilion, and the Commerce Pavilion.

As the coordinator.

Even Hundred Grains Pavilion is available now.

However, there is indeed no information about the "War Pavilion." The information about the War Pavilion itself is largely irrelevant to the overall situation and there is no need to Synchronization.

That's all.

Long Live also disappeared from the spot through the Teleportation Formation right in front of Zhou Mo.

66

Zhou Mo slowly closed his eyes, like an old monk in deep meditation, undisturbed by the rumors and gossip. But the next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Her eyes were red-rimmed.

He pulled a Strange Entities Storage Bag from his pocket and handed it over, then took out two Eerie Stones and threw them over.

"Here are 200,000 Eerie Stone."

"Keep the change, please!"

"I want to use the Teleportation Formation, right now, right now!"

In the Mortal Domain, on Nameless Mountain, inside Cave One.

"Domain Lord!"

"Domain Lord, I quit! I'm resigning and retiring to go home and enjoy my retirement!"

"I just can't take this anymore!"

They all bully me!

Zhou Mo knelt on the ground with red eyes, hugging Chen Fan's leg and crying uncontrollably, tears and snot dripping onto Chen Fan's trouser leg.

"Get up first."

Chen Fan was sitting in the Stone House Cave One reviewing some documents and preparing to go to the Strategist Pavilion to handle the follow-up matters of the Despair Continent, looked at Zhou Mo, who was crying to him, with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"Take your time and talk it over. I'll definitely stand up for you."

Tell me, who bullied you?

He still remembers it clearly.

During the Rainy Season, Zhou Mo is a tough guy. Whether he goes out to explore for supplies or once fought Strange Entities at close range, Zhou Mo is always the one who rushes to the front.

I've almost never seen Zhou Mo cry.

It's quite a surprise to see someone crying like that.

He comforted her.

With a light cough, he inadvertently activated an Image Recording Stone, capturing this tearful scene.

After a while.

With tears streaming down his face, Zhou Mo finally finished recounting his grievances in a halting manner.

"Understood."

Chen Fan said helplessly, both amused and exasperated, "I personally approved that policy application from the 'Finance Pavilion' back then. However, as a level nine member, and a brother who has always followed me, Chen Fan,..."

"Giving us only three chances a day is definitely not enough."

"So."

"Come with me, I'll take you to the Finance Pavilion and find Tian Ce myself."

"Domain Lord... I..."

After crying and regaining some of his composure, Zhou Mo realized his actions might have been somewhat rash and instinctively shook his head. "That Domain Lord, I..."

"Stop talking nonsense and come with me."

The location of the Finance Pavilion is Behind Nameless Mountain.

A Pavilion Complex.

It's almost time to finish work.

Nearly a hundred members of the Finance Pavilion were busy in the pavilion, while Tian Ce, dressed in the robes of the Pavilion Master, was patrolling back and forth. "How many times have I told you? Before you finish work, you must check the day's losses!"

"Three schools, three tests!"

"Not a single mistake is acceptable; we must ensure 100% accuracy!"

No one answered.

They simply made quick calculations and placed the booklets on the bookshelf, while someone else compiled and transcribed them into the Jade Slip.

The next moment -

The main building of the Finance Pavilion was pushed open.

Who is it?

Tian Ce turned around and, upon seeing that it was the Domain Lord entering, strode forward somewhat nervously. "Domain Lord, what are your orders?"

He began frantically wondering if anything had gone wrong these past few days.

If there is an order.

They'd send orders via Message Talisman instead of coming directly to the door. This doesn't sound like they're giving orders; it sounds more like they're demanding an explanation.

Chen Fan looked at the bookshelves in the room, which were filled with Jade Slips. The sticker on the bottom of the most recent Jade Slip was...

"March 3rd, Year 2 of the Eternal Night New Calendar, Record of Total Expenses in the Mortal Domain."

"Good."

Chen Fan nodded slightly in satisfaction. After the establishment of the Finance Pavilion, the financial expenditures of the Mortal Domain were indeed much clearer, and a lot of unnecessary Eerie Stone were saved.

Tian Ce breathed a slight sigh of relief, but before he could say anything more, he heard Chen Fan change the subject.

"Your policy of 'limiting the number of times Teleportation Formation can be used' is generally sound, but we still need to consider various factors when implementing it."

"For example--"

Chen Fan feigned anger as he put his arm around Zhou Mo's shoulder. "This is an old brother who followed me through the Rainy Season in the Jiangbei Wasteland, a level nine member of the Mortal Domain, Pavilion Master the War Pavilion."

"Isn't giving him only three uses of the Cross-Continent Teleportation Formation per day a bit too low?"

"What if there's an emergency that needs to be reported? Will we have to pay for our own way to use the teleportation Teleportation Formation?"

Tian Ce stood there, stunned, looking at Zhou Mo with a blank expression.

He had considered the possibility of being held accountable by a hundred Domain Lord, but he never imagined it would be because of this.

War Pavilion.

Those responsible for maintaining internal security on the mainland, what kind of emergency could they possibly need to report? Even if there were an emergency, wouldn't three opportunities be enough to report it? Besides, aren't there Message Talisman?

The quotas for everyone were all carefully considered by him.

It wasn't decided on a whim.

But this is not the time to think about that.

Tian Ce immediately became serious and said, "There were indeed some work mistakes. The Domain Lord is right to reprimand me. I will immediately adjust Pavilion Master Zhou Mo's quota to 50 times per day."

"The same credit limit as Pavilion Master Wang Kui."

"OK."

Chen Fan suddenly laughed again, looking at Tian Ce: "I've seen how well you've performed these past few days, very good. Although some policies have encountered some resistance in implementation, they still need to be pushed forward."

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Well, you guys get back to work and wrap things up early."

That's all.

Chen Fan chuckled and put his arm around Zhou Mo's shoulder as they walked out of the main building of the Finance Pavilion.

The sound drifted in slowly on the night breeze.

"Look."

"It's no big deal, brother. I'll take care of it for you in no time. If you need anything like this in the future, just come to me. Don't keep talking about resigning."
