Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 548 The Dog is Good, Lily is Bad
The rehabilitation of the autistic old man went quite smoothly. Except for a few stubborn villains who were buried alive again, most of the rest turned over a new leaf and started to improve themselves every day.

Furthermore, as the work of connecting the roots of the sacred tree continued to advance, fewer and fewer old saplings were unearthed, which led to Zhang Ze having more free time.

That day, he stood with his hands in his pockets under a small sacred tree, helping the children around him pick oranges while watching the sword spirit, who had been transformed into a blue fat man, chat with an old man.

Let's talk about farming.

Logically speaking, farming is completely unnecessary, but some people just can't stay idle; they feel restless if they don't do something.

The blue fat-shaped sword spirit took out several magical items from the treasure bag in front of it.

A smallest-sized Beast Taming Ring, a box of Thousand Machine Pavilion's flower arrangement and plant planting sets, and a handcrafted spirit bead with both water and earth attributes.

When these elements are combined, they create a miniature world where you can freely plant flowers and grass.

It has to be said that this copyrighted success story is very effective. These Doraemon characters quickly became popular with villagers in various places, and their affinity was much stronger than that of those mystical demons.

After all, it's normal for someone to be loved by everyone, as they offer orange-flavored konjac juice to friends and handheld large-caliber air cannons to scare away wolves.

Moreover, there was another unexpected thing.

After a month of information gathering and feedback, the Thousand Machines Pavilion discovered that most of these sword spirits showed signs of developing sentience.

Lily and the others guessed that this was probably related to the upwelling of the Earthsea and those little sacred trees.

But in any case, this is a good thing.

Zhang Ze handed the finished orange lantern to the child beside him, patted the orange pith off his hands, and prepared to go to the next place for inspection.

However, before he could take a step, Xiangxiang's projection appeared in front of Zhang Ze.

She was about to speak, but seeing that there were other people around, she gave Zhang Ze a look, signaling him to go aside and talk.

With one step, Zhang Ze arrived at a deserted hilltop.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Ze asked.

Xiangxiang, "Come back right away, Lily's up to her again."

Zhang Ze: "What is she going to do?"

Xiangxiang, "She's started fiddling with those little bugs again."

Zhang Ze: "Damn it, you guys hold her down and wait for me to get back."

—The dividing line: If you don't discipline someone for three days, they'll climb onto the roof and tear off the tiles—

Qianji Pavilion.

Today is not a sunny or breezy day.

As the saying goes, if the cafeteria is quiet, someone must be up to no good.

When Zhang Ze returned to Qianji Pavilion, he found Lily bound hand and foot to the end of a long table, with a sign behind her bearing the words "I am guilty."

After catching Lili, Xiangxiang and the others did nothing to punish her or give her any reasoning or education.

Because they knew that even if they captured Lily on the spot, unless they buried her alive, even if she admitted defeat to their face, she would definitely cause trouble behind their backs after some time.

The only person who could cure her was Zhang Ze.

There was no one else in the cafeteria at the moment. Xiangxiang and the others were busy with other things. Only a little silly girl had been tricked into coming here and was sitting on the table, acting as the jailer.

She stared at Lily's pigtails, drooling as she looked.

He had an expression that said, "When will we slaughter the pig for the New Year? When will we be able to eat?"

God knows what she mistook Lily for.

"What are you up to now? Didn't we agree not to do those mosquito-related things or pigtails anymore?"

Upon seeing Lily, Zhang Ze immediately spoke.

"Oh dear, the plan has changed. This is a serious matter, boss, let me explain." Lily, like a giant maggot, tried to explain herself while weeping.

Before entering the Holy Land, Lily integrated the evil experiences of her predecessors, forged consciousness through evil creatures, and created a bunch of mosquitoes and twin tails that could fly around in the Earth Sea.

These insects exist between the Earth Sea and reality. No matter how high your cultivation level is, you will get bitten on the butt, filling the natural gap that cultivators don't get bitten on the butt.

This caused chaos throughout Qianji Town.

Although these bugs ultimately played a crucial role in saving Old Deng, and even changed their appearance, transforming into adorable cartoon bug-type Pokémon, they still recognized Zhang Ze, their boss's boss, as their only boss.

However, due to pressure from various parties, Zhang Ze still tortured Lily and made a three-point agreement with her, forbidding her from doing such things again.

Unexpectedly, on this gloomy and incongruous day, Lily actually wants to restart this biotransformation experiment and create another army of ten thousand twin-tailed soldiers.

Fortunately, Lily's evil plan was discovered by those who were above her authority and had been watching her closely.

That's why they stopped her in advance, which led to Xiangxiang complaining to Zhang Ze about her misdeeds.

But when Lily said it was a serious matter, Zhang Ze couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Over the years, Lily has become much more mature, even though she is not very tall.

Let's hear what she has to say first.

"Ahem." Zhang Ze coughed lightly, pulled over a stool, then grabbed the drooling little silly girl in his hands, and while cuddling her, looked at Lily and said.

"What important business do you have to discuss?"

Lily continued twisting her body, "Well, it all started with that mirror of yours, Boss."

Zhang Ze's mirror was naturally referring to the Xuanjian Treasure Mirror. Like all early-stage magic treasures, the Xuanjian Treasure Mirror became temporarily useless at a certain point in time.

Originally, it relied on its hard material to specifically hit people on the back of the head, but after Zhang Ze cultivated the Innate Dao Body, which was even harder than the Xuanjian Treasure Mirror, this despicable method was naturally taken over by Zhang Ze himself.

However, the Xuanjian Treasure Mirror was not covered in dust; it was not replaced by a suddenly appearing ultimate invincible +10086 holy invincible celestial immortal magic mirror.

Instead, after the rise of Xiaohetao Network, he quickly became the first generation of internet experts and invincible trolls by taking advantage of his early immersion in group chats.

Later, after taking over the Little Walnut System at Tongtongzhijia, he became the biggest internet celebrity and the spiritual leader in the magic artifact circle by relying on Zhang Ze's connections and permissions.

The underground emperor of Walnut Network belongs to this category.

"So what does this have to do with the Mysterious Mirror?" Zhang Ze leaned against Lily.

Lily, "Let's make Thousand Machine City stand up again!"
"Boss, you've forgotten? This was a movement initiated by the Mysterious Mirror and those magical artifacts."

Zhang Ze shook his head. "I forgot."

Lily: "…"

Although Zhang Ze had forgotten about the city rising up, it was indeed related to the Xuanjian Treasure Mirror.

The Mysterious Mirror has a good brother named Half-Star Plate, which was a bonus that Zhang Ze and his junior sister received during their wondrous adventure in Lingzhou, Tianzong, where they obtained the Innate Dao Pill.

The half-star chart was originally a whole star chart, which was a treasure of the Eastern Qi Dynasty. It was later broken into two by chance.

He turned into a little earth fairy who was mentally unstable and had extremely low moral character.

One became a half-finished astrological chart, with a slightly higher level of intelligence but also a mentally unstable mind.

The little earth fairy is obsessed with ruling the world, and the half-star disk is obsessed with becoming the core of the giant Thousand Machine City, flying in the sky and diving into the earth, becoming an invincible transforming mecha.

It was through this incident that Lily managed to trick half of the Star Chart into coming to the Thousand Machine Pavilion.

Compared to Zhang Ze, who, like the scumbag, has forgotten everything.

Lily and the Mysterious Mirror clearly remembered this incident and had been working towards it.

The Transformer Gate Giant King Kong that delivered Wang Ge to Zhang Ze was the result of years of research by cultivators and half of the Star Chart in related fields.

Of course, the hard work was inseparable from the sudden inspiration of the mentally ill, and there were two core technologies that enabled these Thousand Machine Cities to stand up.

First, it's all the strange silver metals refined by these star gods.

Secondly, there are the sea worms that Lily created, flying around.

Once these insects enter the specially designed magic array within Thousand Machine City, they will serve as energy sources, lubricants, protective shields, mental computing units, microwave ovens, and portable music players.

To alleviate the pressure on the magical artifacts that form the core of Thousand Machine City.

Currently, in the Eastern Continent, these structures that suddenly stand up and punch you have become city gates or towers, each containing a magic artifact that the Six Sects have left unused, as well as... a whole bunch of insects.

"So, you get it now..." Lily swayed back and forth in the chair. "Your little brother, the Mysterious Mirror, came to me saying there weren't enough insects to go around, and that there were still so many pots, pans, axes, hooks, and forks that his old brothers hadn't gotten their share, so he asked me to get some more insects. "When I saw it was the Mysterious Mirror contacting me, I assumed you knew about this, but who would have thought you didn't? And to make matters worse, you wouldn't even listen to my explanation and just arrested me."

"I was all loyal to the boss, but he turned out to be a pushover and ruined everything. I'm so upset, so incredibly upset."

Lily became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and began to secretly shed crocodile tears.

While crying, she continued to spin the pupa and gestured for Zhang Ze to touch her pocket, where there was a plan.

After receiving the handwritten plan from Lily, Zhang Ze glanced through it. Although it seemed to be fine, he still didn't believe Lily.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Ze said, "Wait while I ask."

Finding the Mysterious Mirror is not difficult; you can just go online. It has accounts on various forums and communities of Little Walnut.

Zhang Ze searched around and found that it was leading a group of magical artifacts in a debate with people on the Shaking Leg platform.

Both sides in the debate possessed magical artifacts and were cultivators.

The debate revolved around whether ritual implements could find a partner.

If you find a partner, do you need to move in with them? What if you encounter a bad partner?

After breaking up, will it be necessary to divide the property?

Ironically, most of those who supported going straight to it and advocated for righteous cohabitation were monks.

Although there are certain risks, if your own magical artifact is cool enough, wouldn't you be able to just take someone else's artifact and play with it?

Conversely, most proponents of the "magic weapon" (a type of magical artifact) hold the opposite view. They believe that distance makes the heart grow fonder, and that flirting remotely is perfectly fine; it's best not to meet in person.

Being too close can cause many problems. For example, what if the owner of the house is poor and can't afford the maintenance fees for two finished ritual objects?
What if people bump into each other because they have different maintenance methods?
Furthermore, rather than finding a ritual object from someone else, they prefer their owner to raise a smaller one, so that it can be customized according to their sexual preferences.

It was refined from a young age, and from the moment the spirit was born, it was imbued with the essence of its master.

Small is cute.

Holding the small walnuts, Zhang Ze and Lili both had expressions that resembled those of an old man on the subway with his cell phone.

I feel there's something wrong with this debate, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is.

Lily: "Hey boss, look at you, you've even corrupted the magical artifacts of our Four Continents."

Zhang Ze: "They're abnormal, what does that have to do with me? Go find whoever owns the magical artifact."

Lily, "But the Mysterious Mirror is your magical artifact."

Zhang Ze, “.”

Although he was somewhat speechless, what Lily said was indeed true. Zhang Ze scoffed and stopped responding.

Meanwhile, the debate over there was coming to an end. Although it seemed that no conclusion had been reached, everyone seemed to be quite happy to have suddenly gathered together and had a fight.

After the debate ended, Zhang Ze contacted the Mysterious Mirror.

"Lily told me that you want to increase the number of those Transformation Thousand Machine Cities, is that true?"

There was no reply from the Xuanjian Treasure Mirror, but soon the sound of shattering glass came from above.

One of the cafeteria's windows was shattered, and the Mysterious Mirror fell from the sky, landing in Zhang Ze's hands.

It nuzzled Zhang Ze before typing with its little walnut.

Yes, we do need to increase the number of Thousand Machine Cities, but not to act as security guards.

[It's to solve the network coverage problem for the sacred tree across the ocean.]

The ocean described in the Mysterious Mirror is not the Earth Sea, but the ocean of the four continents.

Four continents and four landmasses are gathered together in one mass, and the rest of the land is all water, with the ocean covering almost half of the area.

Therefore, when setting up amplification towers and planting trees, a problem arose: what to do about the other side of the sea?

At first, no one had a good solution, and they were unsure whether leaving the area vacant would have any impact.

In order not to affect the guaranteed minimum, while planting trees on the four continents, the Buddhist sect and the Beast Taming sect separately sent people from the East Sea to cross the sea and explore, to test several hypotheses.

Experiments have shown that the small sacred trees and amplification towers can be placed on the seabed without affecting their effectiveness.

However, due to the complex underwater environment, in order to prevent accidents, we plan to use Thousand Machine City as protection for those sacred trees.

Therefore, I believe it is necessary to increase the number of Thousand Machine Cities.

After Xuanjian finished typing, he pulled up a map, which contained the findings of Master Konghai and Elder Li of the Beast Taming Sect over the past two years.

The coordinates marked on it indicate the locations where trees were planted and the city was photographed.

Centered around Thousand Machine City, dozens of Fu Ji brand human bases are arranged around it, extending along the seabed.

Zhang Ze looked at the blueprints and asked after a moment, "What about the people? A city without people won't do."

Xuanjian answered without hesitation.

[Relying on the artifact spirit and those little insects]

[Our spirit can also connect to your network. After those sea worms merge with Thousand Machine City, they can also be seen as a massive entity of thought.]

[There are also those new Blade & Soul characters called Doraemon, the dinosaurs of the fish-dragon race in the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm, and the aquatic creatures among the demon race.]

Anyway, it's definitely enough, but the specific statistics haven't been completed yet.

[But if construction starts next month, it could all be completed by the end of this year.]

I only mentioned it to Lily briefly, and haven't submitted the plan according to procedure yet, so I didn't expect her to act so quickly.

As Xuanjian narrated, data and charts appeared before Zhang Ze's eyes.

Zhang Ze nodded, thinking there was no problem. However, just as he was about to agree and go to the old men for confirmation,

However, he discovered something wrong.

Because these insects are all man-made, each one is marked, and the quantity can be accurate to the individual. There is also a fixed number of insects allocated to each Thousand Machine City.

However, in Lily's plan, the number of Thousand Machines City was correct, but the number of insects was more than in Xuanjian's plan.

The extra number is just enough for Lily to form a twin-tailed kamikaze bodyguard team.

Zhang Ze turned and looked at Lily with suspicion.

"What's going on? Is this an abuse of power for personal gain?"

Lily was sweating profusely, laughing awkwardly, "No way, I wouldn't dare do such a thing. This is a margin, a normal engineering margin, hehehe."

After Lily finished her sophistry, the Mysterious Mirror immediately refuted her.

Regarding the margin, we have already calculated it in advance, and Lily is aware of it.

However, even after her scheme was exposed, Lily still stubbornly insisted, "I... I was just confused. I wrote too much. After all, I've been so tired lately, it's normal to make a few mistakes."

Zhang Ze ignored her and instead whistled, summoning Mao Mao from who-knows-where.

He rubbed the furry dog's head and said, "Take me to search Lily's secret base. If we find anything, I'll reward you with a bone this big."

Seeing Zhang Ze's empty promises, Mao Mao's tail spun wildly. After barking, it decisively sold Lily out, grabbing Zhang Ze's clothes and running towards the door.

Watching Zhang Ze's retreating figure, Lily made one last effort.

"Boss! Don't look, please don't look! I was wrong! Don't go into a young girl's room!"

Unfortunately, it was of no use.

After Zhang Ze walked away, the little silly girl, who had been curled up in a ball, crawled out from under the table.

She looked at Lily with a fork in one hand and a whip in the other.

"Hehehe, you're probably useless now, so I'm going to play with you."

As it spoke, it began to wriggle towards Lily.

Fortunately, the Mysterious Mirror was still functioning normally. It went back to its old ways, taking off from the spot and hitting the back of Little Silly Princess's head.

With her conceptual-level ability activated, the brainless and clueless Dumb Princess was knocked unconscious.
