179. Building a Team (6K, 1/1)

"He Ju..."

Listening to the nagging of the old man Zhang Chunlei up ahead, Zheng Taixiu smiled helplessly, then glanced at He Ju beside him and nodded again: "Promoting He Ju one rank, making him an investigator—there's definitely no problem with that."

"What do you mean?"

Old Zhang walking in front heard Zheng Taixiu's words and knit his brows tightly.

He lifted the horse lantern and turned around, looking at Zheng Taixiu behind him: "Promotion is no problem, looks like letting him lead an investigation..."

Behind the group, 'Grandma' rode up on a four-meter-long glowering tiger, smiling cheerfully as she caught up.

"You scared me, Lele." I finally managed to squeeze out a sentence. Although Lele said it was nothing, my heart still couldn't settle for a long time.

One by one, the deities hidden within the ocean—some driving war chariots, others riding strange sea beasts—answered the God-King's summons. A seven-colored rainbow bridge descended from the sky, splitting into countless strands to guide the Vanir clan's demigods and true gods straight up to the massive blood moon's true body in the heavens.

"I'll hold onto this photo for now. Tell your colleagues too—don't let them post it carelessly." Du Meng didn't notice it herself, but the hand holding the photo was trembling.

"Things have already come to this. Saying anything now is pointless. Same as before—just consider it earning ten thousand yuan less!" Wang Ziren sighed.

At this moment, the man behind the screen finally revealed his face—fair, translucent skin, a pair of pale brows, an indifferent expression. It was Jiang Xianxu.

Over the course of one afternoon, Chen Mengmeng truly got to witness Wenren Chu's eye and silver tongue. With his help, the other three returned fully loaded, spending less than half of what they'd originally estimated. Even more amazingly, Wenren Chu took the opportunity to sell over a dozen items from his own stock to those dealers.

But when the Demon Moon arrived at Divine Beast Island, it was a step too late. Li Chunqiu of the Purple Gold Sect had already taken most of the dragon crystals. So after obtaining one dragon crystal, the Demon Moon fought a great battle with Li Chunqiu! Which is why there was that thunderous roar that Young Master Mu heard when he first arrived at Sin City.

Now every veteran at the factory knew his Lady was pregnant, so regarding his frequent early departures and time off—well, they bent over backwards to make exceptions for him. After all, he was a veteran employee, an old technical worker too; everyone was willing to give him some face.

No matter the reason, once Manager Wang's authority is gradually stripped away, then to the Jingcheng Xiao family, Manager Wang will be nothing but a spent piece.

With a light stride, he leaped across several zhang in a single bound. Boom—light burst forth brilliantly across the field. Then both men stepped back at the same time. After one exchange, Zhang Fan once again withdrew from the Dao Merging state; that ethereal, lofty bearing vanished. In its place came surprise, doubt—a whole range of expressions.

Only now did Hai-ge and Gu Rang react. Watching Su Huai return to the group, they felt a sudden tremor in their hearts and suddenly realized this young colleague was unfathomably deep—they couldn't keep up with his line of thinking at all.

Xiong Tianye led a group from the Greenwood Base, keeping watch outside the Tianxuan Base high-rise office building the whole time, wanting to report the unusual movements of mutant animals in recent days. But the gate was guarded by an entire squad, and their report just wouldn't go through.

"Children!" Yuan Haochen's expression was solemn, and like an elder he spoke with earnest weight.

His clothes were already tattered and torn; even a suit of close-fitting inner armor had long been ruined beyond recognition. The hair and eyebrows he'd finally grown back had once again turned to ash.

Amid the stream of giggling and tallying money and merits, Xu Honggang at the front suddenly reined in his horse, his face iron-blue as he stared at the several headless corpses on the flat ground ahead.

Zhang Wei specifically had the Big Dipper investigate, and indeed found some eerie points. A portion of the scientists involved in the experiment said their recent condition had been unusually good—when they hit obstacles during experiments, inspiration would follow right behind, giving them a feeling like a fish in water.
