Chapter 84: The Dog Manager

Su Lin never imagined that, with the New Year approaching in his main world, he'd still run into something like this.

Thinking of what happened two days ago, he could only shake his head.

The client had withheld payment.

There was no choice but to gently urge for payment.

"Ahahaha, that thing—you'll have to wait a bit, I promise! Give me a month!"

The blazing spear in Su Lin's hand dissolved upon hearing the promise.

"Alright, playing the empty-hand trick."

Su Lin smiled without mirth, staring at Lu Mingfei, who looked like he'd done eight hundred push-ups, utterly drained.

"My authority was already given to another version of myself—unless he voluntarily separates, I can't do anything." Lu Mingfei smiled. "I mean the authority of this world."

"By the way, sir, do you want Sky and Wind, or Ocean and Water?"

"What about the other two?!"

"Those two aren't listed yet. If you're patient, we'll notify you the moment they're available."

Thus, Su Lin was dismissed by the wicked client; before leaving, he stuck a light-sword into the ground and smiled at the man.

He was now sitting atop Water Mirror Peak, patiently waiting for the chat group administrator vote to open.

One minute left.

Though the divine realm wasn't bad, it had no signal.

Cultivation was fine, though—Su Lin found that once he began cultivating, certain knowledge drifted toward his original body.

Probably related to his connection with the God of Light.

At least now he had no heart for cultivation; counting the time he'd spent accelerating cultivation with purchased cards, he'd nearly spent twenty years in cultivation—after all this, couldn't he enjoy himself a little?

And this was even with all the resource bonuses.

When cultivating the technique, there was a strange sensation—as if he'd lived a grand dream, feeling his flesh and soul evolve bit by bit.

Like focusing entirely on a jigsaw puzzle—when you finish it, you realize an entire day has passed.

The group members were feverishly campaigning for administrator, each trying to win votes.

Ye Fan: "Vote for me, Ye Tian Di! Name-drop me when you go out!"

Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan: "Heart-Core Body-Refining Cream~ Freshly harvested Heart-Core Body-Refining Cream!"

Miss Kelaien: "@Su Lin, red packet, vote, got it? Hurry up!"

Su Lin teleported a chicken leg to Ke Laien, bearing a tooth mark.

Su Lin: "Please handle the administrator matter!"

Weigong Shilang: "If I become administrator, I'll give myself one day off."

Ye Fan: "Order came in—vote quickly and get back to work."

Weigong Shilang: "AAAAAAAAAA!"

In the Veil of Heaven World, in a town governed by an immortal sect.

On a bustling street thick with cultivators and mortals, a weapons shop specializing exclusively in high-end artifacts.

Inside, the interior was gilded and opulent, with powerful weapons displayed in glass cases.

According to an elder of the Yin-Yang Sect: "Even Sovereign Divine Weapons are for sale—but the price is too high, and unsuitable for me."

"Aren't they afraid of being robbed?" a cultivator, stunned by the extravagance, blurted out.

"Shut your filthy mouth," his companion elbowed him in the chest. "The manager here has ties to the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground."

"The last guy who caused trouble was crushed into dust by a Great Being of the Dragon Transformation Realm!"

"With the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground's backing, this place surely isn't run by that red-haired fraud selling fakes. That filthy Saint Body wouldn't dare come here to die." A dashing young master who had just entered relaxed visibly.

"You're also..."

The two who had just entered stared at the young master; the three exchanged glances—every emotion understood without a word.

"Today, we must pick out a fine weapon."

"Exactly! Exactly!"

"Hahaha, brother Daoist, after you!"

At the entrance, a chubby manager compared the appearances of the three in his mind-sea, then quietly picked up a talisman and began drawing, as if studying its refinement.

In truth, in an inner room of the shop, the same talisman appeared on a sheet of paper.

"The ones arriving are the Yao Guang Sacred Ground and the Yin-Yang Sect—one fat sheep and two pigs." A large black dog spoke in human voice. "The inventory of Guan Hong Spear is gone—can replenish one."

"I'll go prod them."

Ye Fan entered a dark chamber inscribed with array patterns.

As he walked, he monitored the group's messages—the administrator election was about to begin. Seeing Weigong Shilang's post, he also urged in the group: "Order came in—vote quickly and get back to work."

Simultaneously, from the group and from inside the door ahead, came a cry of despair.

Ye Fan, slightly pained, pushed open the door and found Weigong Shilang's entire body smoking.

Let him rest a little after voting... half a day, Ye Fan thought.

After this deal is done, Weigong Shilang's cultivation must accelerate.

This guy is pretty wealthy now—higher cultivation levels require greater efficiency.

【Administrator Election Voting Has Opened】

Seeing this, Su Lin examined the voting interface: a bar chart.

Then, Su Lin saw his own vote count rocket straight into the sky.

What's going on? I haven't even voted for myself yet.

Su Lin froze for a moment.

Su Lin: "?"

Especially Especially Especially Xiao Yan: "Surprised?"

Su Lin: "Indeed."

Su Lin truly hadn't expected that he would be the first to get a taste of this cake.

Han Li: "Su Daoyou's candor when he joined the group has benefited Han Li greatly. The administrator seat can be rotated among everyone; whether one goes first or last makes no real difference."

Zhongli: "Indeed."

Luffy: "You helped me fulfill a wish; this little thing is nothing."

Lu Mingfei: "So moved — is this what men's friendship looks like!"

'If you didn't talk, I'd really be moved, really...' Su Lin thought silently.

Ye Fan: "If there are any permissions, make sure to tell me about them. From now on, you're a mature permission dog too."

Su Lin: "Just watch whether I mute you or not."

Miss Kelaien: "Let's discuss something — drop by my place when you have time."

Miss Kelaien: "Of course, it'd be best to bring your Lord of Storms along, since things aren't exactly safe on my side."

Su Lin: "My gut tells me you're scheming something?"

Miss Kelaien: "Not at all. I just have some tasty mushrooms here and wanted to invite you to try the flavor."

Su Lin: "Hahaha, those wouldn't happen to be the ones Frank gave you, would they?"

Miss Kelaien: "..."

Su Lin: "Not going."

With the vote complete, Su Lin couldn't wait to start studying the chat group's administrator permissions.

Never expected that he, Su So-and-So, would also have a day of becoming a permission dog.
