Compared to Red City City, Dafeng City is much more lively.
One point proves this: more than half of the license plates on the cars on the road are not from Red City City.
Vehicles from all directions, from north to south and east to west, from all provinces and regions, are available.
" Xiaoyao's father and brother are really remarkable!" Ling Yi exclaimed.
Zhan Yan rarely showed a pained expression. She wasn't in the mood to care about that right now; all she wanted to know was when they would be able to cross this road.
They've been stuck in traffic for almost an hour, and in that hour, they've only moved less than two hundred meters.
"Something must have happened up ahead, otherwise, even if there's a traffic jam, it's never this bad."
Having lived in Dafeng City for seven or eight years, Zhan Yan naturally knew the place very well.
"At this rate, who knows how long we'll have to wait?" Zhan Yan frowned.
"Let's just wait. We don't have anything too urgent to do anyway. At worst, we'll be stuck in traffic for another two hours."
Grandfather is currently mobilizing his troops and won't be able to reach Vermilion Bird City in the Southern District for a while.
How big is the Underworld? A simple calculation will make it clear.
Ordinary dead spirits typically stay in the Underworld for seven years before being Reincarnation.
In other words, the time a normal undead can remain is seven years.
In addition, there is the constant birth of new undead, and the back-and-forth between the Reincarnation undead and the Underworld.
The area of Underworld would need to be at least ten times larger than the area of the mortal realm to support such a large "traffic flow".
Moreover, in addition to the eighteen districts and one hundred and eight cities of the undead living area, there is also the Reincarnation Domain, which occupies one-third of the area of Underworld.
This is the former residential area of Big Shot in the Underworld.
The area would need to be several times larger.
You think that's all? Of course not.
This is only half of the Underworld's territory; to be precise, the Underworld only occupies half of the territory.
The other half is not under the jurisdiction of the Underworld, or rather, it is a free realm that the Underworld does not want to govern.
That is, the unused areas outside the eighteen districts of the Underworld.
According to the old man's naming convention, the area outside the Underworld is called the Land of Chaos.
As the name suggests, this Land of Chaos must be something like this.
The Underworld only accepts the spirits of our Ancient Country; spirits from other countries are neither here nor there.
The undead outside the Land of Chaos belong to other nations.
However, these Reincarnation must also go through the Reincarnation channels of the Underworld and drink the Meng Po's Soup to be reincarnated.
The difference is that spirits outside the Underworld need to have half of their Soul Power forcibly Deprivation in order to pass through the Reincarnation channel.
It's roughly similar to a toll.
Are we being too harsh? Of course not, hehe, we'll talk about that later.
From City of Cangwu to Vermilion Bird City, it almost runs through the entire north and south of the Underworld, with detours along the way, and most of the time you'll have to deal with other city lords.
After all, with such a massive commotion—an army of nearly 30,000 undead, mostly of mid-tier or higher rank, passing through—how could anyone, whether ambitious or simply seeking to protect themselves, possibly remain unmoved?
Most of the dead in this world are basically no different from ordinary people, except for their living conditions and places of life.
Only those who have reached or have reached a high level of the undead, or those with certain Authority in the Underworld, such as city lords or deputy city lords, possess some simple Divine Ability.
For example, Dream Visitation, well, only in Dream Visitation, and only in a dream can one appear omnipotent.
It doesn't have anything like flying, passing through walls, Invisibility, or Illusion Technique.
The skills of the necromancer's society are all abilities that the dead learned during their Reincarnation in the mortal realm.
Therefore, the more times a spirit Reincarnation, the more skills it will possess.
For example, Bai Shitou's marksmanship, Yan Yunfang's Kung Fu Hustle, and Grandpa Ling Canghai's... Hmm? What does Grandpa know? Ling Yi really doesn't know.
In addition to these, there are the abilities that come with one's position of Authority.
For example, the City Lord Token can grant control over a city, allocate Soul Power, command armies, and manage the undead under its jurisdiction.
In short, the undead army of City of Cangwu will have to walk to reach Vermilion Bird City in the Southern District.
Even if they were all mid-level or higher undead, running at speeds comparable to a car, it would still take at least a day and a half, so Ling Yi wasn't in a hurry.
Traffic jam? So be it. With nothing else to do, Ling Yi was Probe information about the people around him.
Reading about interesting life stories can make life less Bored.
For example, that chubby guy in the car in front—who would have thought that this seemingly goofy and Mengmeng chubby guy is actually a top game streamer with millions of followers?
I came to Dafeng City this time because I was invited to participate in a live broadcast event organized by the government.
The purpose is to promote Dafeng City.
It must be said that Bai Zheyan and his son Bai Mengshan have done a really good job in this regard, putting Dafeng City ahead of all other cities.
Another hour and a half later, the two finally moved forward more than a kilometer.
And now we finally know why the road was blocked.
It turns out that a celebrity came to Dafeng City and was surrounded by fans, causing the incident.
Ling Yi also spotted Bai Zheyan in the crowd, working with a group of staff to manage the flow of people. Seeing her covered in sweat, Ling Yi felt a sense of admiration.
This, perhaps, is how it should be!
"These so-called celebrities and so-called fans are really ignorant!" Zhan Yan with a look of disgust and disdain.
"Doesn't she know this is a main road?"
Ling Yi shook his head. He had just read the celebrity's biography, and it wasn't anything good.
The negative three thousand Merit Points are enough to explain everything.
"This traffic congestion was planned. Eighty percent of these fans were hired," Ling Yi explained.
Zhan Yan instantly understood Ling Yi's meaning and guessed the reason why the celebrity did this; the disgust on her face became even more obvious.
Hype, trending on social media, and generating traffic.
Even trending topics like "Zhan Yan popular Chinese internet personality) are designed to create the illusion of how popular a celebrity is.
"Aren't you going to do something?" Zhan Yan asked Ling Yi.
Ling Yi waved his phone and laughed, "I've already done it!"
"What did you do?" Zhan Yan asked curiously.
You'll find out soon enough.
What did Ling Yi do? He simply intercepted the other party's Obsession and informed Bai Zheyan of the location and possession of the secretly filmed videos and recordings they had taken to plan this incident.
On the other side, Bai Zheyan immediately took action after receiving Ling Yi's text message.
At a single command, the inspectors swarmed forward and apprehended the celebrity and her assistant.
Each person will be awarded a pair of silver bracelets.
He also took his assistant's phone and a voice recorder from his backpack.
That's right, the secretly filmed videos and recordings were done by the celebrity's assistant.
As for the reasons behind it, Ling Yi didn't bother to look into it. He had just done it on a whim, and anyway, this celebrity was finished.
Zhan Yan gave Ling Yi a strange look and said, "Suddenly, I find you really scary!"
Why do you say that?
"You can see everyone's past and future, and decide other people's fate with a wave of your hand. Isn't that terrifying?"
"Yeah, sometimes knowing too much can be a nuisance," Ling Yi said, shaking his head.
I thought you'd say you were incredibly lonely!
"This atmosphere isn't suitable for saying this!"
"It's really not suitable!"
After a brief period of chaos, Bai Zheyan, now possessing the evidence, acted with even Wind Walk, arresting not only the celebrity and her assistant but also several ringleaders at the scene.
The fake fans were just doing things for money; they never expected to receive a silver bracelet as a reward. They immediately scattered and ran away.
As for real fans? There were only a handful at the scene, and with this kind of crowd, why would they dare to move forward?
There's a silver bracelet; they really gave it to me as a gift!
Within ten minutes, traffic returned to normal, and Zhan Yan and his group Yu Cheng escape the area.
Twenty minutes later, the two finally arrived at the toy factory.
I left around 8 a. m., spent an hour and a half on the highway, and was stuck in traffic for almost four hours.
It's almost 2 PM now.
The toy factory has already produced more than three thousand launchers labeled "electromagnetic pulse bombs"... toys.
Ling Yi picked one up, glanced at it, and nodded in satisfaction.
As long as it can be " Correction " and Manifestation in the Underworld as a real thing, that's fine.
"Well done!" Ling Yi patted Liu Shan on the shoulder and said.
"Just don't forget the bonus." Liu Shan shrugged.
"Load these things onto the truck and take it to the usual spot."
"Shouldn't you be talking to the manager about this? I'm just a designer!"
"From now on, you are the manager here!" Ling Yi said.
The manager of this toy factory was a former employee of the factory. He had met him once before and looked down on Ling Yi Little White, this "gold digger."
People like that should get the hell out of there.
He doesn't even have a shred of tact. Let alone Ling Yi not being a gigolo, even if he were, he's not someone Xiaoxiao manager like him could afford to offend.
None of that is the key point. The key point is that this guy has spread the word that he's living off Fu Qingyun, and now the second and third generation circles in Dafeng City all know about Ling Yi's existence.
There will likely be a lot of trouble in the future.
Even now, this manager is still calling and tipping off certain people, a classic case of betraying his own side.
"Are you serious? I'm taking it seriously."
"Nonsense, I'm the boss here!"
Liu Shan didn't really want to be the manager, but without the managership, he wouldn't have the authority to allocate materials.
That brain-dead manager is always making things difficult for him, it's so annoying.
"By the way, how's the design you asked me to do last time coming along?" Ling Yi asked again.
"It's halfway done, but that idiot Wang Yun is holding onto so many materials and won't let me use them!"
"This factory isn't yours, how could I let you waste materials like that?" At that moment, a voice rang out from behind.
A portly, fat man walked towards the office building.
This is Wang Yun, the current manager of a toy factory.
He glanced at Ling Yi, then pointed at Liu Shan and said disdainfully, "That thing you made has absolutely no market value; it's a complete waste of materials."
"I don't know which idiot made you do this, it's fucking hilarious!"
That's a veiled insult, isn't it?
Ling Yi Ling Yi remained smiling; he wouldn't get angry at such a brain-dead idiot.
He dialed Fu Wanhai's number directly and put it on speakerphone.
"Uncle Fu, do you have some time?"
"What's wrong, Ling boy? What's the matter now?"
"If you have time, come to the toy factory! It's going to be quite lively here later!"
