The next day, the members of the Think Tank Group did not know why the usually energetic and well-dressed Leader Ren entered the office with an unshaven beard and the smell of alcohol.
Then, no one could knock on the door, only the sound of snoring and faint murmurs could be heard.
Words like "I was wrong", "I shouldn't have been greedy", "I reap what I sow", and so on were inexplicable.
The Deputy Leader did not appear either.
At noon, the Director of the Truth Department, a stubborn old man, appeared. He was a Great God who rarely appeared, and no one knew how powerful he was. He would only appear when there were major events.
Now that he was here, something big must have happened.
As expected, behind him was a young and handsome man who looked very similar to the Deputy Leader.
Then, the Director of the Truth Department said something that shocked them.
"Yes, your Leader Ren, Leader Hong is getting old and preparing to retire. This is Leader Hong Yunjiao's long-lost brother … "The old man's face twitched as he said this. He glared at the young man beside him and said with difficulty," His name is Hong Yunqiao. He's extraordinarily intelligent and well-read. He's always hidden behind the scenes, but the two leaders recommended him to manage the Think Tank Group. "
"How can this be? Isn't Leader Ren doing well? He's in full swing now, and many big plans are still under his control. " A few brave members who were treated as Ren Ruofeng's confidants whispered, their voices filled with dissatisfaction.
"No wonder this Hong Yunqiao looks so similar to the previous Leader Hong. He's a long-lost brother … But something's not right. Leader Hong's real age is over 70, and her brother looks like he's 20. How did they give birth to him?" A guy even questioned in a low voice.
Hong Yunqiao glared at him, knowing that he was one of Ren Ruofeng's hardcore fans. He said lightly, "Sister and I have the same father but different mothers …"
"That's easy to understand. Many men in their 70s can still have sons." A group of people came to a realization and pointed out something.
"But it's still not right. Leader Ren and Leader Hong look very young. Haven't they already regained their youth? Why do they want to retire? "
"It's not as busy as it used to be. The Pharos of the East is shining brightly on the whole world. With the Venerable One around, they probably want to enjoy some alone time for a while. It's a pity that it's benefiting some people. They can just come and eat a meal prepared for them."
The group of fellows felt that it was unfair for Ren Ruofeng and wanted to give the new team leader a show of strength.
However, they never expected that their new team leader knew them like the back of his hand. They were destined to have a tragic start.
…
While Ren Ruofeng was in a drunken stupor, Fang Ning and Shi Gan were discussing an important matter.
Because they had just rented thirty thousand mu of land, the Whitestone people were reluctant to return it immediately. If they did that, it would be considered a breach of contract, and only two-thirds of the rent would be returned.
The third level of the Draconic Arcane Realm was only one square kilometer of land.
One square kilometer was one million square meters. One mu of land was 666 square meters. There was a total of 1,500 mu of land here.
Compared to the outside world, it was much smaller, but there was a big advantage, and that was that it was isolated from the world. At first, Fang Ning thought that some people might not be used to it. Unexpectedly, the Whitestone people were exceptionally satisfied with this.
These days, many Whitestone people were having a headache.
Even when they slept, ate, or even when they went to the toilet or snored, there would be people secretly filming and recording them. It was utterly heartless.
Many of them even missed the life of being ostracized in the Upper Realm. At least they could enjoy peace then, right?
With their honest temperament, they were too embarrassed to get angry and chase people away, so they could only endure it day by day, waiting for those people to lose interest and disperse on their own.
It could be said that by entering this arcane realm, they could completely free themselves from the awkward situation of being watched.
Thus, a big problem arose. Who would plant the land outside? Who would plant the land inside?
In Fang Ning's eyes, this was a small matter. Could it not be solved by just giving the order?
He was used to commanding the sinful souls in the Draconic Penitentiary. Not many people there dared to disobey his orders.
However, in the eyes of the Whitestone people, this was a very big matter. They must promote democracy and discuss freely.
The first round of free discussion began.
Shi Da spoke, "I'm the eldest, I should go inside and plant the land."
Shi Da followed, "I'm second. Shi Da can't finish planting the land inside by himself, I have to help him."
After the first round, Fang Ning was dumbfounded. All 250 people, including the clan leader, were telling the truth and wanted to plant the land inside.
In other words, they all wanted to stay in the Draconic Arcane Realm and not come out.
Fang Ning was very welcoming. After all, the more people, the faster the work.
However, the clan leader, Shi Gan, was still very responsible. He was still thinking about the great cause of changing the world, so it was not a problem for all of them to stay in the arcane realm.
However, he did not want to use his power to force them, so he asked the Venerable One to think of a way.
Fang Ning was too lazy to use his brain. He called for the interpersonal expert, Zheng Dao, and ordered him to solve this problem.
Zheng Dao was a psychologist after all. He might not be able to answer the three questions, but this was not a problem at all. He just had to change the question and it was immediately solved.
"Who among you is willing to stay outside and face the difficulties to influence the people and fulfill the great dream of your ancestors? This way, those who are unwilling can go inside and plant the land. "
This time, all the Whitestone people raised their hands again.
Yes, it was true that they wanted to stay in the house and avoid the noisy crowd of the secular world; but it was also true that they wanted to fulfill the wishes of their ancestors and build an honest world without avoiding the dangers.
This seemed contradictory.
However, it was right. Every living being was a combination of these contradictions. Laziness and diligence coexisted, lowliness and greatness coexisted.
Clan Leader Shi Gan was very impressed. Sure enough, those who could rely on the True Dragon Sect were all talented. He had a headache for a long time, but the other party solved it with a word.
This was easy to solve. Everyone agreed to take turns every five years and be divided into two shifts. The first shift would be inside and the second shift would be outside.
While the Whitestone people were happily celebrating, Vigilante A glanced in a certain direction expressionlessly.
Shi Gan looked in that direction at the same time and frowned. He reminded him, "Sir True Dragon, there was an extremely pure demonic energy that flashed by just now. It should belong to the War Demon Clan of the Upper Realm. I didn't expect them to be so bold after descending. They actually dared to peep at the dragon's face. They must have ulterior motives. "
Vigilante A said nonchalantly, "I see. Hmm, you don't have to worry about this. Just rest in peace."
Shi Gan said naturally, "Thank you for your protection, Sir True Dragon. With your True Dragon's Celestial Might, these rascals can't even withstand a single blow. "
An honest person's flattery effect doubled …
Fang Ning felt comfortable listening to it and praised, "Looks like Sir System is really amazing. Even the truth spoken by an honest person sounds like flattery …"
The System said, "Although he's honest, what he's saying now isn't the truth."
Fang Ning was shocked. There were only a few devils that could make Sir System say they were powerful. Only in the early days when Sir System had not matured could there be some that could make Sir System suffer.
He immediately asked with concern, "Is that devil really powerful?"
The System said, "I didn't say how powerful he is. I wanted to say that he should be able to block three of my attacks. He's definitely not 'weak'."
Fang Ning was speechless. "Sir System is really powerful. I worried for five seconds for nothing."
…
On a deserted island in the South Sea, thousands of kilometers away from Jingzhou Island.
The sea breeze was strong and unobstructed. There were no tall trees on the island. Only sparse weeds grew tenaciously in the cracks between the rocks, swaying with the wind.
A tall man with a dark complexion and black armor was standing together with Black Cat Tom and Old Man Huang Rui.
"Vigilante A is really powerful." The tall man's face was filled with excitement as if he had found a rare opponent. "With my current level, I can only block three of his attacks. If I don't escape now, I'll die."
Huang Rui was secretly shocked. He looked at Sir Tom, but Black Cat Tom was not surprised at all. Instead, it gave him a look.
Thus, he said, "Lord Thunder Demon, you're the War Demon of the Upper Realm. You're invincible and powerful. Are you afraid of Vigilante A now?"
"Hehe." War Demon Lei Tian glanced at him and said in disdain, "Don't play tricks in front of me. I'm a War Demon, and he's a True Dragon. His bloodline and talent far surpass mine. If we were in the Upper Realm, I wouldn't even be able to get close to him. Fortunately, this is the Lower Realm. That's why I can be so close to someone like him. It's my life's fortune. "
Black Cat Tom chuckled and said, "Lord Thunder Demon, you don't have to be so humble. You're the best at fighting and finding your enemy's weakness. Vigilante A may be strong, but he has a fatal weakness. According to our investigation, it's true that Vigilante A is a True Dragon. However, I heard that he lost all his memories in the Upper Realm. Only a few Dragon Clan Secret Techniques remain, such as the Dragon Clan Alchemy Technique. "
War Demon Lei Tian's eyes lit up. "The Dragon Clan's Alchemy Technique is really powerful. But is the source of this information reliable? Could it be that he's pretending to be weak and is playing a wolf in sheep's clothing? You said that he cultivates the Path of Heavenly Punishment and becomes stronger the more he fights. He definitely has the motive to do so. "
Black Cat Tom immediately said, "The information is definitely reliable. This was revealed by that gluttonous great green insect. She's the daughter of the Celestial Clan Leader in the Upper Realm. She's not a schemer. She shouldn't … No, she shouldn't have the ability to help Vigilante A fake. Hummingbird's people treated it to meals for a few days in the name of buying information before they dug it out from its mouth. It's definitely reliable. "
"I see. No wonder I could get within a thousand meters of him and sense that he wouldn't be able to kill me within three strikes. If he still has the memories of the Upper Realm True Dragon, he would be more powerful than that." The War Demon Lei Tian nodded thoughtfully.
Huang Rui did not know what he was thinking, so he did not dare to speak. Black Cat Tom, on the other hand, was not nervous.
It said, "I heard that you entered the Path of Battle. You can also become stronger the more you fight. You've just come to the Lower Realm, but you can still block three attacks from Vigilante A. In a few months, I believe you can win."
"Hehe, Black Cat Tom, you're really well-informed. You can find out everything. By the way, I'm curious. Why did you change your name to Tom? I remember you didn't use this name before? " Lei Tian did not respond to Tom's flattery at all. Instead, he suddenly asked a seemingly strange question.
Black Cat Tom rolled its eyes. "Oh, I'm doing as the Romans do. I've been living in the West before, so this name is the most common."
Huang Rui muttered in his heart, 'I remember you once unintentionally mentioned that the name Tom can help you live a long life.'
Lei Tian did not dwell on this question. He only smiled and suddenly turned around. The black armor on his body disappeared, and a heroic, powerful man appeared. He was even holding a large machete, which was completely different from the devil from before.
"Hehe, how's this identity?"
Huang Rui was dumbfounded. No wonder Tom had said that this guy was extremely cunning. He looked like he was addicted to martial arts. He was clearly going to be a spy.
When he thought about how Tom said he would become stronger the more he fought, he could not help but have a terrifying thought. Could this person be Vigilante A's teammate?
He would make friends with Vigilante A through martial arts to gain his favor. Once he became stronger and recovered his strength, he would take the chance to assassinate Vigilante A …
Similar tricks appeared in his mind in the blink of an eye. He was indeed an extremely cunning fellow.
No wonder Sir Tom had so much confidence in him.
Tom the Black Cat stretched out its nose and sniffed. After sensing it carefully, it said in admiration, "Lord War Demon's Phantom Technique has reached the acme of perfection. No matter how powerful Vigilante A's Heaven's Eye is, he can't see through it. I already understand what Sir wants to do. "
Lei Tian smiled, then a cold look appeared on his face.
Black Cat Tom was shocked. It immediately leaped into the air and ran away.
"That's fast. No wonder you changed your name to Tom. Did you really think I didn't investigate this place?" Lei Tian looked at a ripple in space. He was not surprised.
He only stared at Huang Rui. "Your master left you and ran away alone. What else do you want to say?"
Huang Rui trembled and immediately bowed. "I am willing to serve Sir Thunder Demon."
Only then did Lei Tian smile in satisfaction, coldly saying, "No one has ever succeeded in making use of me, Lei Tian. Black Cat Tom is no exception. The Devil Lords from the Upper Realm are no exception. This planet is destined to be my hunting ground. You are familiar with the situation here, and you are familiar with that black cat. I will spare your life. Serve me well in the future. "
As he spoke, he pointed a finger. A black aura entered Huang Rui's body.
He shuddered and immediately felt a chill in his heart. It was as if something was added to his body.
He immediately understood that this must be the devil's method of controlling people. He immediately felt hopeless.
Although Sir Tom was sometimes strict, he was still kind to him. He had made a few mistakes because of Vigilante A, but he was not severely punished.
Now that he was in the devil's hands, he would not be able to live as well as he did before.
