Chapter 944 Was Sherry lying?

Da Chun was exasperated and decided to find something to do: "Old Jiang, I'd like to check your wiring."

Old Jiang held up five fingers and chuckled, "Right, right, that's what a technical supervisor should be like! I'll offer that amount!"

Da Chun was taken aback: "Huh?"

Old Jiang said with a serious face: "5 a month! Just hold a position like a legal advisor. You don't need to come every day. You can come whenever you want. If you have an emergency, you don't have to come. Of course, the ladies would prefer you to come every day!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a beautiful woman handed him a contract.

Da Chun was stunned: "President Jiang, are you serious?"

Old Jiang solemnly said, "It's never been fake, it's more real than before!"

Da Chun was both amused and exasperated: "You're not trying to make me take the fall, are you?"

Old Jiang laughed: "Where did I get the thunder? Only the legal representative can take the fall. I'd be more than happy if President Ding wanted to be the legal representative."

Da Chun seriously suspected that Lao Jiang might have figured out his identity in the game. If that were the case, wouldn't it seem like he was unwilling to help his old classmate if he didn't agree?

Da Chun looked through the contract and found that "come whenever you want" was indeed written into the contract terms. This was not hiring people, it was clearly praying to the gods!
Da Chun's mindset is completely different now compared to when the server opened. Although 5 a month is nothing compared to 10 a day now, it's still an income that can be talked about openly. He can't guarantee how long he can enjoy this 10 a day income, but it's still equivalent to his previous salary, not to mention it's so easy. But he feels a little guilty about how easy it is.

Da Chun sighed, "5 is too much, let's cut it in half."

Old Jiang was overjoyed: "President Ding agreed?"

Da Chun sighed, "I'm almost embarrassed to have tricked my old classmate."

The studio erupted in cheers: "Welcome, Mr. Ding!"

No way, what's with all the excitement? Could it be that they figured it out too?

Old Jiang's tone was firm: "No, it has to be 5, not a penny less."

Da Chun sighed, "Anyway, I'm only on secondment. Why don't you cut the price in half and hire a permanent deputy manager for 20,000 or 30,000?"

Old Jiang laughed: "With so many female anchors, how can they all stay permanently?"

Do you really think you're the emperor, and you want to hire a eunuch as your supervisor?

Da Chun was taken aback: "So I can just come and go as I please?"

Old Jiang chuckled and said, "Your wife has very strict family rules."

Holy crap! Da Chun's heart skipped a beat!

Then Lao Jiang laughed and said, "And while you're at it, settle Mr. Ding's salary from last month as well."

Da Chun was taken aback: "I just casually came over last month, does that count?"

Old Jiang laughed and said, "Sure! Isn't it good to get an extra month of seniority?"

Da Chun shook his head: "Alright, I'll go to the server room to do some maintenance."

Old Jiang was overjoyed: "Please, Mr. Ding!"

Top Ten Chat Group.

After half a day of work, Metatron finally managed to activate the mermaid and the black iron fish god to push the cargo ship to the riverbank of Ironflame Village inland. Although it went smoothly, Metatron had worked very hard, running around making contacts, and he also deeply realized how good it was to be a guardian deity; the prestige was much greater than that of a sage.

Of course, the only problem is that the mermaid doesn't give the Bronze Guardian a friendly look. Apparently, it's because last time the mermaid came to Bronze City to rescue Sariel, the Bronze Guardian accused her of dereliction of duty and had a heated argument with her throughout the city.

Meanwhile, upon hearing the mermaid's song, Sila mobilized the city flower mentors and witches in their private rooms to fly aboard the cargo ship and meet the mermaid, the fish god, and especially the newly promoted city flower.

When Sherry saw Fafnir, she was so excited and moved that she cried and hugged her tightly: "Miss Fafnir, I, I..."

Fafnir chuckled, scratching her head. "We all saw the announcement, and we all hope you win!"

Sherry quickly said, "I'm just a backup dancer. I have absolutely no intention of replacing Miss Tifa. I just admire my sisters so much!"

Eve laughed and said, "I know Tifa well enough. She probably doesn't care... I guess."

Sherry immediately apologized: "Miss Eve, I..."

Eve stepped forward and patted his head: "No need, this is a victory you deserve. It can also help to improve the academic atmosphere in Gem City, letting them know that family background and education don't guarantee victory..."

Metatron coughed lightly, reminding them who the main character was.

Remia immediately stepped forward to greet her: "Queen Helen! You've worked hard."

Then she called out to her mentor, the Four Witches, "These are our new friends."

The mermaid stared at the four witches in disbelief: "Are they demons?"

Remia said, "This is the duty of City Flower as the Empire's cultural exchange ambassador, and it has nothing to do with faction."

The mermaid snorted, "But the church doesn't think that way. They're unhappy with me, a sea creature, being their guardian."

Remiya Khan said, "There always has to be someone who is ahead of the times."

The mermaid asked the four witches, "So how did you get here?"

Kai'Sa laughed, "Although we're on different sides, we were both fighting that demon god during the battle of Shadowstream City..."

After hearing the introduction, the mermaid laughed: "So you're the subordinates of the one who defeated the Gem Guardian, Wonima?"

"Exactly!"

The mermaid chuckled: "Shake hands, shake hands. It's a pleasure to meet you all. Well, then we're... friends in cultural exchange. I wouldn't call myself a traitor, would I?"

Remia laughed awkwardly: "No, not really, probably."

The mentor also spoke up: "My Lord, during that battle, I was praying very earnestly for your victory in the Black Iron City Prayer Square."

The mermaid exclaimed in surprise, "I did indeed sense a unique spiritual power at that time. Was it you?"

The instructor mimicked the gesture of a nun holding her hands in a cupped-hands position, then closed his eyes and exerted force.

The mermaid was suddenly overjoyed: "It really is you! You didn't know me before, so why do you want me to win?"

The mentor chuckled, "I guess I just don't like those Shadow Demons."

The mermaid smiled happily: "Then please continue to support me in the future!"

The mentor chuckled and said, "That's for sure..."

Watching the mermaid and the other beauties chatting happily, Sila and Metatron exchanged a smile, feeling incredibly gratified. This was how they had united the previously isolated forces; if they continued to develop, confronting the Emperor would be a piece of cake.

Finally, the mermaid recovered somewhat during the conversation: "My dear friends, I have to go back now. This cargo ship will stay here and be guarded by this Black Iron Fish God. As for what to do next, that's up to the village."

Metatron also said, "I will escort Helen's throne back."

The mermaid snorted coldly: "How could I possibly accept a bronze throne as a gift?"

Still angry!
Metatron was in high spirits and had no choice but to apologize on behalf of the former guardian deity: "I have also neglected my duties because I have realized that many things are necessary to do. I did not understand the good intentions of the Throne of Helen before. I apologize for my rudeness that day."

The mermaid chuckled, "The Bronze Throne is just following the rules. I was just having fun, I didn't mean any harm. But seeing how kind the Bronze Throne is, I'll let you deliver it." It was quite easy to appease her. "Metatron" smiled, "It's my honor."

The city beauties immediately clapped: "Congratulations to the two diviners on their reconciliation."

"Then, goodbye~~"

Fishman God: "Farewell, Smida."

Now Sila is in trouble. Although the Bronze City Lord has delivered the goods, monsters will attack the village tomorrow, and it is unknown how far the impact will be. It seems safer to leave the cargo in the water without unloading it. After all, if things go wrong, the cargo ship can simply sail downstream and escape.

At this moment, Fafnir also asked, "Sherry, what do you think we should do with this cargo ship?"

Shirley said, "I was the one who asked the Bronze City Lord to lend me the excavator, so I have to take full responsibility. I'll stay on the ship all day. If it's safer on the ship and the village is in a more critical situation, I'll come and help the village."

Sila laughed: "Miss Shirley is far too responsible. In that case, I'll stay with Miss Shirley and watch the boat for a day."

After all, playing gambling games with these city beauties and witches is just playing around; the wargaming system hasn't provided any valuable information. It's much better to stay with Sherry, deepen our friendship, and win her over.

Sherry was taken aback: "But Miss Elder, the accommodations on the ship are rather basic, and they smell bad."

It's just a game, why care about the taste...

Sila laughed and said, "I'm a wandering nun, it's common for me to spend the night in the wild."

The mentor smiled and said, "Then I'll stay too. I'm worried about my disciple."

Can your son defeat the Frost Dragon King?

Xila said urgently, "Master, the safety of the village is the most important thing. Although the attack on the village is scheduled for tomorrow, it is possible that they will launch a preemptive attack tonight. I am far away from here, so I am theoretically safe. I will be fine."

After all, in a normal monster siege event, there will be a "warm-up" phenomenon and a large number of monsters will appear.

Fafnir didn't mince words: "In that case, Sherry must perform well. If you encounter any difficult emergencies, immediately sound the ship's horn to alert the authorities, and I will come to your rescue as soon as possible."

Sherry: "I will try my best, Fafnir."

Fafnir laughed and said, "Then, sisters, let's go back to guard the village and report this to the village chief."

Watching them leave, Sila couldn't wait to ask, "Miss Shirley, I heard you defeated the strongest student in Gem City with divine magic?"

Sherry exclaimed in surprise, "It's runes! Is that considered divine magic?"

Sila was astonished: "Gem City has rune classes too? How can they be this powerful, able to turn into an ancient tree?"

Sherry pointed at the Fishman God: "The patterns on the Fishman God's back are also runes!"

The chat group was in an uproar!
Raphael was overjoyed, as if he had discovered a new continent: "Sira, ask her where she learned runes?"

"Shut up first, don't mess up my rhythm."

Sila asked the merman god in surprise, "Your Highness, are these runes on your body?"

The fish-man god smiled arrogantly, striking what he thought was a very cool pose: "Ebony Willween Enyeer Twain Wewun~~~Smida God Throne This Throne~"

Sila was bewildered. Was this speaking Merfolk language? She could only understand the word "throne" at the end.

Sila asked urgently, "Your Majesty, is it because of these markings that you were able to become a god?"

The fish-man god nodded: "Wow, wow, god throne, my foot!"

Sila then asked Sherry, "Miss Sherry, where did you learn your runes? Did Fafnir give you the textbook? Or is there a hermit in the Southern Canyon Village?"

Sherry shook her head: "It's on the ancient tree, but ordinary people can't see it. They just think it's a pattern on the bark, just like they think the pattern on the Fishman God's throne is just a pattern. But I can see it. I guess that's my talent."

talent!!?

Sila stared intently at the symbols on Shirley's massive, log-like staff: "But these symbols don't look like tree bark patterns at all."

Shirley smiled helplessly: "This is just the surface, and it's hard for me to explain. Anyway, if you just imitate the bark pattern exactly, then it's just a pattern and can't be used. You have to use your heart to transform it."

At this moment, the chat group fell into deep thought.

Michael was puzzled: "Could it be that we're wrong, and there's no Tree God in Southern Canyon Village at all? If there were such a powerful Tree God, and it's so close to the main city, how could the Black Iron Guardian not have noticed it?"

Xila exclaimed in surprise, "But the Black Iron Guardian is gone."

Michael sighed, "It's only been a month since he left, but there were a hundred years before that. It's impossible for such a powerful tree god to suddenly appear within a month and grant a priest such powerful divine magic, right?"

Raphael was even more confused: "But Eve is so professional, and she's convinced that the victory was achieved through sacrificial magic. Eve can't be wrong, can she?"

Sila asked, "Uriel, isn't your guild leader skilled in rune magic?"

Uriel said in a deep voice, "The old version also has runes. The runes that the president has are the same as those in the old version. They are not the same as what Sherry said at all. The only explanation is that the new version of the intelligent system has evolved and given birth to a completely new discipline, just like the astrology in the old university."

Gabriel's brow twitched: "Is it possible that this Sherry is hiding something and lying?"

Sila laughed: "Look at Shirley's clear eyes, her obedient behavior, and her responsible attitude. She's the model of a good nun. Do you think every woman is a bitch like you?"

Gabriel said irritably, "Maybe this is the real top-tier bitch!"

Uriel grew impatient: "This is such a hassle. Anyway, Sira's goal is to win over Sherry. Once we get her, we'll have everything, right?"

Sila laughed and said, "That's right, there's no need to go through all that trouble."

So Sila asked, "Miss Sherry, may I learn this runic magic from you?"

Shirley sighed, "I don't know if the elder can learn it, but I certainly can't teach it."

Sila was embarrassed: "I guess that's talent. So, what can I do for Miss Sherry?"

Shirley thought for a moment and said, "I have a lot of things to do today and I'm a bit tired. I'd like to rest for a bit now to recover my energy. Elder, could you cover my shift for me? I'll wake up and take over at midnight, how about that?"

Emmmmm... This is even more boring than playing gambling with them!

Sila smiled and said, "Okay, Miss Shirley, please get some rest. I have a special outdoor rug here, so you can lay it out on the deck and sleep."

"Okay, thank you, Elder."

Just then, Raziel spoke up: "Congratulations to me! I've passed the exam to become a law enforcement officer!"

The chat group erupted in an uproar: "So fast?"

Raziel smiled smugly: "I already said, I'm just lazy, not stupid! Where's the progress now?"

Uriel immediately said, "Turtle Island is anchored off the coast of Black Iron City. The mermaids are probably returning to the island..."

Metatron: "At the current speed, it will take about an hour."

Raziel said "Oh": "So, I have to go to the Shadow Emerald Tavern in Gem City now and complete the handover of the Hell Bank in Shadowstream City within this hour!"

Michael said, "There's no need to rush, but if it can't be done right away, don't force it. The more anxious you are, the more passive you'll become."

Raziel: "Let's try to succeed on the first try."
