Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

but--

Feng Gu's body tensed: "I know, you...you are...General Tianwang, that legend."

A crystal-clear jade skull, glowing even without any energy source.

The one Feng Gu just summoned must be one she's comfortable using.

"good."

"this one?"

The screen immediately displayed "Scene Modeling". Feng Gu stared wide-eyed, pointed at the screen, and asked in surprise, "This is... the 'Beast Bone Path' of Evil Valley, right?"

The Danxin Ghost Mother Copper Ingot is a common material and not very useful.

He stood behind Feng Gu, instructing her on how to control the entourage's advance and retreat, and how to prepare for battle. Feng Gu was, after all, in the prime of her youth, and her learning and acceptance abilities were not bad.

The scene on the computer screen is exactly the same as reality.

Feng Gu turned his head and saw a magic circle suddenly appear beside him. With a clattering sound, many things fell to the ground from inside the magic circle.

As for "dungeon difficulty"—

Zuo Chang pinched her chin, forcefully lifted her head, and forced her to look at him.

"Not only did I clear the level, but I also got a reward?"

Feng Gu stared wide-eyed, looking somewhat adorable: "Where's the logic? General Zuo, I think this is bizarre. According to you, what is the meaning and value of adventure? If you promote this 'computer,' all adventure groups will starve!"

Blood Rose opened the door and entered. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly saw Wind Bone and Old Barbarian. She glanced at them and asked, "General, who are these two?"

"No problem. Trust me, you'll be very surprised."

I haven't agreed yet!

The discovery of ancient crystals is very likely a form of compensation mechanism.

Zuo Chang stood up and said, "Deputy Feng, I'll teach you how to operate it."

Feng Gu looked bewildered, but still sat down. Under Zuo Chang's guidance, she grasped the mouse and it took her quite a while to master how to move the cursor and understand the usage and meaning of the left and right clicks.

[Dungeon walkthrough complete, rewards being calculated.]

She had no similar knowledge in her mind, and thought to herself, "This...this is a bit like shadow puppetry, using the shadow of your hand to shape a rabbit or an eagle on the wall..."

Who joined?

Helpless, Feng Gu could only stand up and say, "Secretary Rose, hello."

The two shook hands, Blood Rose applying a bit of pressure, and Feng Gu could feel her sincerity.

She glanced at Zuo Chang again, feeling as if she were...

Unknowingly, they boarded a pirate ship.

Chapter 152 Once you've tasted the marrow, you'll know its flavor.

After meeting Blood Rose, Zuo Chang, along with Feng Gu and Lao Man, met with the others—

Bai Lin and Jian Li Fei Niao are both important figures!

Feng Gu felt himself sinking deeper and deeper, and saying no now would be a bit disrespectful.

City Lord's Mansion.

Feng Gu sat in his assigned room, sighing softly.

How did it all turn out like this?

She looked up at Old Man standing at the window and asked, "Old Man, what do we do now?"

Brother Man turned his head, his face full of astonishment: "Zuo Chang... is General Tianwang?"

Feng Gu nodded: "Yes, it is. Didn't you see them just now? Chief of the Rose Clan, Exemplary Knight Bai Lin, and that General Jian Li. The fact that the three of them appeared together is enough to prove Zuo Chang's identity."

Brother Man stared wide-eyed: "Is he really General Tianwang?"

I can't even begin to describe it!

From the moment we met until now, Lao Man has been in a state of shock and is unable to communicate with him.

Feng Gu thought about it himself and felt that the current situation was somewhat unfavorable.

She didn't want to "make a name for herself in history," nor did she believe she had the talent to rival Bai Lin and Xue Qiangwei. Zuo Chang's previous words did not move her.

The only reason he stayed was because he was too domineering.

If Zuo Chang were to introduce himself to Xue Qiangwei, wouldn't it be disrespectful to deny it on the spot?

She didn't want to make things too awkward, so she planned to remain ambiguous for now and then have a proper talk with Zuo Chang in private.

But now...

After meeting Bai Lin, Fei Niao, and others, Feng Gu felt that her identity had been confirmed!

She is now under Zuo Chang's command, holding the official title of "Director of the Data-Driven Adventure Center".

If I go to Zuo Chang now and say that I don’t actually want to be in office, wouldn’t I be playing a trick on Zuo Chang?

If you didn't want to be in that position, why didn't you say so back then?

Now you're saying no? Are you just making fun of us? Do you really think Zuo Chang is easy to bully and has no temper?

Feng Gu sat on the bed, burying the lower half of his face in the pillow.

How did it become like this?

"General Tianwang... I never imagined that one day I would become General Tianwang's subordinate..."

Old Man looked at his palm with a devout expression.

He turned to look at Feng Gu and said, "Director Feng, it's getting late. I need to learn how to use a computer tomorrow, so I'm going to rest now."

Feng Gu nodded: "Good night."

Old Man didn't leave.

He stared intently at Feng Gu, but said nothing.

Feng Gu raised his hand and asked, "Which one do you want?"

Old Man smiled broadly: "Let's go with Yuanshanqing... Black Tiger has always said it's very exciting and fun, and I've wanted to try it for a long time."

Feng Gu summoned Yuan Shan Qing, watching Lao Man and her leave the room.

the other side.

Zuo Chang, Blood Rose, and White Scale sat in the room and held a short meeting.

The reason Asuka wasn't involved was mainly because the discussion focused on her.

Blood Rose spoke up, "Including Director Feng and that 'old barbarian,' we currently have a total of thirty-nine people, the vast majority of whom are retainers of the Yaotai Vanguard. We shouldn't worry about the retainers' salaries, after all, they are people of the Yaotai Vanguard—the question is, General, should we pay the Yaotai Vanguard?"

Zuo Chang didn't understand: "What do you guys think?"

Bai Lin remained calm and succinctly stated: "You're now a plucked phoenix, worse than a chicken. I don't think we can or should skimp on the money you owe."

Blood Rose knew that White Scale meant no harm; it was just a personal speaking habit. She smiled awkwardly and didn't mind.

It's not just the current Zuo Chang; even the former Heavenly King General would never refuse to give benefits to his subordinates.

If there's no benefit, who'll risk their life for you?

However, talking about money with the Heavenly King General at that time was somewhat beneath his dignity.

At that time, some people gathered there to gain fame, while others sought power. Many of them came with their belongings, not asking for a penny.

As for now...

Zuo Chang thought for a moment and said, "Feiniao doesn't have any businesses and has to support such a large family. Even if she doesn't lack funds now, she will inevitably run into financial difficulties over time. Moreover, her joining is actually very crucial. Otherwise, with only the two of you under my command, what kind of general am I? A standard adventure team needs five people."

The money must be paid.

As for ways to make money, there are actually ready-made ones.

Zuo Chang took out a piece of azure crystal and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

Bai Lin glanced at it: "Azure Sky Battle Soul. A unique reward from Sky City, it can be used to craft the 'Sky' series of equipment. General, where did you get this?"

Zuo Chang didn't even look up: "The doctor gave them to me. I don't know the specifics. It seems that there are special production machines for the Sky Battle Souls, but they haven't been repaired yet. The doctor gave me a box of his stock, a total of twenty-four."

As he spoke, he pulled the box behind him over.

turn on.

The box has two layers, one on top and one on the bottom. The top layer contains a dozen Sky Battle Souls.

The precious light shone brightly, illuminating everyone's faces.

Bai Lin nodded and said, "Around ten million. We're small in number, so we can hold out for a year or two."

When Sky City was still an instance, defeating the hidden BOSS "Electronic Ghost" had a certain probability of obtaining the Sky Battle Soul.

Sky City is now Zuo Chang's property. The hidden boss is gone, but Zuo Chang can still produce Sky Battle Souls.

This thing, like "Eternal Longing," is a magical material.

Its value is slightly higher than that of Eternal Longing, with a price around 500,000 yuan, and it has always been popular.

Selling all twenty-four of these coins, along with the five million in cash that Zuo Chang had, would indeed be enough to get by for a while.

This is mainly because Zuo Chang's influence is still quite useful.

If every subordinate had to be paid a salary, I'm afraid even just Bai Lin would be an unbearable burden.

Who is Bai Lin?

The top experts who can enter Zuo Chang's main team are humans whose stats are so powerful that they seem inhuman!

With that kind of skill, earning a seven-figure salary a month is not an exaggeration at all.

If you think he's expensive, then it's definitely not Bai Lin's fault; it must be that the boss isn't high-class enough and doesn't deserve to command such a powerful subordinate.

Thinking of this, Zuo Chang looked at the two people in front of him and said, "Gentlemen, you shouldn't be asking for money, right?"

Blood Rose immediately lowered her head: "General, I am content to be by your side."
