Chapter 43: Official's Handwriting!

"What the hell… what's going on?"

On the phone screen, blood‑red posts flooded everywhere.

The hype even eclipsed last night's Blood Moon phenomenon.

【One night of Blood Moon, countless casualties!】

【Help! Neighbor Lao Wang died, my wife is crying herself sick; how do I comfort her?】

【Huh? How about the brothers comfort you first?】

【Maozi Shushu, listen to me, the reason I'm with her in the hotel is because there are monsters outside; we're just huddling together for warmth! Why are we taking off clothes? It's to check the wounds!】

【Ugh! I can see shadows over every altar now! Once bitten by a snake, you fear the well‑rope for ten years!】

【Heaven, damn it!】

Crying, cursing, teasing—every emotion intertwined, drowning each forum section.

Su Ming's eyes flickered, but he wasn't particularly surprised.

This world has already entered a new era of the law of the jungle.

Those who can't adapt are doomed to be eliminated!

What truly made his pupils contract was the pinned, blazing announcement.

It's already surpassed a hundred million clicks!

【Long Guo Official Notice!】

【To cope with the changing situation, related measures have now been released!】

【1. Official forum is now live! Aimed at building a safer, more efficient information hub! All citizens, please go to the forum to register!】

【2. 【Long Wei】 recruitment! Any citizen willing to contribute and possessing some strength may sign up in the corresponding forum module; a specialist will contact them!】

【3. Altar fragment purchase! Effective immediately, the Official will buy altar fragments without limit! Unit price: twenty thousand!】

【Citizens! New era, new opportunities, do not abandon, do not give up!】

This!

is truly explosive news!

"Long Wei"?

Su Ming raised an eyebrow, instantly grasping the Official's idea.

They want to gather the scattered civilian forces and bring them under their control!

After all…

The tide of events leaves no one untouched.

After a moment of thought, Su Ming clicked into the Official forum.

【Sacrifice Exchange Area】, 【Item Science Area】, 【Calamity Response Area】…

The sections were dazzlingly numerous, overwhelming to browse.

But the hottest, most discussed right now is still the altar fragments!

【What are the fragments? Twenty thousand each? I think I can do it! I'm a damn graduate student, only eight thousand a month!】

【Do it? Heh, you probably don't have the fate! Only by eliminating the Calamity under the Blood Moon will the corresponding altar shatter and release fragments.】

【Ah… never mind, you go ahead, I'll just honestly keep moving bricks.】

【So what exactly are these fragments good for? Any insider info?】

【They'll tell you? You wish!】

A sharp glint flashed in Su Ming's eyes.

In his personal dimensional space lay a full thirty‑one fragments.

If priced at the Official's rate…

His slaughter last night netted him a massive six hundred twenty thousand!

In the old days, even ten years of labor might not have saved him that much!

【The Official's talent pool is abundant; perhaps they've already seen the fragments' purpose…】

【Even if not, they won't let any chance to get stronger slip by!】

【Holding these gives you confidence!】

【And… as people grow stronger, altar fragments become harder to obtain later! More wolves, less meat!】

Su Ming stood up and walked straight into the basement.

He retrieved an altar fragment from his dimensional space and carefully placed it on the Crimson Throne.

"Dong… dong…"

The Crimson Throne's heartbeat throbbed powerfully.

But…

No further changes occurred.

"Tsk! Looks like it won't eat this thing."

"Never mind!"

Su Ming put the fragment away, no longer agonizing over it.

The top priority is still to improve himself as soon as possible!

Everything else is just fleeting clouds.

Thinking of that, he pulled out his phone and dialed the Livestock Farm boss's number.

"Boss Wang, bring back all yesterday's goods!"

"And also, haul eight hundred chickens over!"

"Alright!"

Boss Wang's voice was tinged with unmistakable excitement.

Su, little brother, slaughtered his family's chickens cleanly and made a fortune!

And next, it's time for the middlemen to profit from the price difference!

This is clearly their God of Wealth!

"I... I'll contact the neighboring Livestock Farm right away!"

"Rest assured, efficiency guaranteed!"

"Within an hour, the goods will be delivered to you!"

Su Ming hung up the phone and returned to his bedroom.

He took a bottle of ice‑cold cola from the refrigerator and tipped it back.

The chilled liquid slid down his throat, dispelling the last hint of fatigue.

"This afternoon... another quick kill."

Now his hands are truly itchy; he's become addicted to killing.

Last night's slaughter gave him a more visceral craving for power growth—

As long as he has strength, everything goes smoothly!

As for the Official's Dragon Guard recruitment, he has no plans for it at the moment.

Just knowing such a thing exists is enough!

With the current situation still unclear, he prefers to stay hidden in the shadows and grow stronger in silence.

Steady and methodical, creating even greater brilliance!

"Tonight... will there be another Blood Moon?"

"If another wave comes, the Dragon Egg will hatch immediately, and the Soul Dagger will enter its second stage!"

He needs more experience packs!

"Gurgle..."

After the cola went down, the emptiness in his stomach grew stronger.

"Tsk!"

Su Ming glanced at the completely empty refrigerator...

Time to make instant noodles!

"Damn!"

"I've already got two Myths by my side, and I'm still eating instant noodles?!"

He originally went into the city yesterday intending to buy some ingredients.

What happened?

First he ran into Xia Weiwei, which wasted time.

Then came Zhao Shu.

Finally, a seamless transition into the Blood Moon!

There was never any chance!

Really frustrating!

Twenty minutes later.

"Slurp—"

The steaming noodles went down, and Su Ming felt completely relaxed.

One egg!

One ham sausage!

"Damn, that's really fragrant!"

"Hm?"

Just as Su Ming was reflecting, his phone suddenly vibrated.

The incoming call showed it was Zhao Gang.

Su Ming answered.

"Su... Boss Su..."

Zhao Gang's voice was restrained, with a hint of nervousness.

"Are you... are you available to talk right now?"

"I'm available, what's up?"

"It's nothing... I just wanted to tell you, my daughter's medicine... has been renewed!"

Zhao Gang's voice was full of gratitude.

Su Ming felt something stir in his heart.

He helped Zhao Gang.

But Zhao Gang's hope, by a twist of fate, granted him a Legendary Rank Hope Star.

This is Karma.

"Boss Su, I still have a question for you!"

Zhao Gang lowered his voice, a hint of embarrassment in his tone.

"My partner and I... went to make a sacrifice again today."

"I produced a brilliantly glowing light bulb, white quality! My wife produced an axe."

"We... all know these are useless, but we really have no money... so..."

He seemed to have mustered all his courage before finishing the last sentence.

"Boss Su, will you... will you still buy them? Just look and give a little!"

On the other end of the phone, Su Ming was silent.

Now, one thing can basically be confirmed—

The Official and other organizations truly have no interest in these "trash" items.

In this world, only his Crimson Throne can make use of these waste items.

He is one of a kind!

"I'll take it."

Su Ming said lightly.

"Really... really?!"

Zhao Gang's voice rose a few pitches instantly, full of disbelief.

"Then... how much?"

"Alright, I'll arrange a place tonight; we can discuss when we meet!"

Su Ming hung up, his gaze deep.

A bold plan gradually took shape in his mind.

He had said before—

What he wanted wasn't just to be a simple scavenger picking up trash.

The efficiency was too low.

He wanted to become a behind‑the‑scenes boss, building a massive waste‑recycling network!

Before, he lacked strength and a suitable opportunity.

But now...

Su Ming tapped his fingertips lightly on the desk.

"Zhao Shu... now it's up to you to pass this test!"
