Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

"cough."

He turned his head and asked, "Chief Rose, explain your actions. Why aren't you doing your job? The Data Center should be Feng Gu's responsibility. Your job is to compile daily revenue statistics and ensure the normal operation of the Data Center."

In this way, Zuo Chang can collect the talent and resources he needs through the Triple True Person, while he himself remains hidden behind the scenes.

Very attentive.

Blood Rose cleared her throat and said, "General, after we met again, I realized that you have changed a little."

Triple Question: "Monitoring my...physiological state?"

Even if you fail in the end, if you can cling to the coattails of "General Tianwang", it will be a chance to bring glory to your ancestors!

"Melancholy Blues" possesses powerful investigative abilities, giving Blood Rose the power to distinguish loyalty from treachery and to see through the divide between good and evil;

"Sky Vision and Earth Hearing" is a composite skill that combines the Eavesdropping Emblem with the Melancholy Blues. Only Blood Rose possesses this skill in the entire Ascended world, and she is also an expert at controlling people.

Blood Rose looked up: "General, I will definitely complete the mission. However... should we be a little gentler in our methods?"

"Yes. For example, an increased heart rate, high blood pressure, or abnormal hormone secretion."

Why shouldn't I be the one to revitalize our family?

Triple extended his hand and said, "Lady Blood Rose, come! I have the utmost respect for General Heavenly King, and to serve under him... is truly my lifelong ambition!"

She clasped her hands together in front of her abdomen, her fingers intertwined, as if she were very nervous.

This is nothing short of surveillance!

but……

The computer screen displays the results page; Blood Rose has just finished a data-driven adventure.

He looked at Sanchong earnestly and continued, "You know, when we encounter danger, our heart rate increases, our muscles tense, and our adrenaline surges. Rose can detect these physiological indicators and thus become aware of your condition."

I can't read it.

"..."

Fortunately, he didn't let Blood Rose worry for too long: "White Scale is a very busy person. She has been following me around these past few days; Flying Bird and Wind Bone both have their own tasks, and even True Bow, I have arranged for her to cultivate and advance to the seventh realm as soon as possible... Only you have nothing to do, and the tasks assigned to you are all insignificant chores."

“Yes… your personality has become more distinct, quite different from your previous rational to cruel, calm to ruthless self. So I think…” Blood Rose looked somewhat nervous, “should I abandon my overly ruthless methods? I think you might not like them now.”

Make the Triple Immortal the "Triple City Lord".

"Yes."

Zuo Chang smiled and gave Blood Rose what she needed: "I rely on you more than White Scale. You don't need to feel any burden, just like I promised you before—this time, I won't give up on you again. Hold your head high, I like confident and composed people, not timid yes-men."

In the room with the curtains drawn, the computer screen was the only source of light. The light shone through, illuminating the perilous parts of the Blood Rose and casting a shadow on her abdomen.

Zuo Chang looked at her without saying a word.

Blood Rose looked up and met Zuo Chang's serious expression.

Zuo Chang nodded.

Blood Rose lowered her eyes.

This move is extremely crucial.

Blood Rose blushed: "It's my duty, General."

After a moment's thought, Zuo Chang said, "We can't completely abandon ruthless methods. Sometimes things get very complicated if we're not a little cruel. But we must also remain kind and uphold our bottom line. We can be like wild animals, but we can't be wild animals."

"...General, please enlighten me!"

"In short, killing is for the purpose of protecting life; cutting off karma is not the same as killing a person."

Chapter 178 More Miners Needed

A cup of coffee with lots of milk and sugar; Feng Gu isn't someone who can endure hardship.

She clicked "Autonomous Combat," held her cup, and watched the data-driven followers automatically take risks on the computer screen.

Really...

Incredible technological prowess.

Zuo Chang initially asked Feng Gu to be the "Director of the Data-Driven Adventure Center," but Feng Gu actually refused.

She was filled with fear, always feeling that this was a very dangerous job, and wanted to escape.

But after a few days, she discovered—

So relaxing, so refreshing.

Is there anything more wonderful in the world than being able to take risks and reap rewards without having to endure the elements?

I deeply understand the hardships and spirit of personal adventure!

More importantly, life in Sky City is incredibly convenient.

The dormitory beds were unusually soft, the food was delicious, the drinks were sweet, and there was a strange invention called air conditioning, so you wouldn't sweat even on the hottest days.

On my second day at the company, the clothes delivered by the electronics PhD were very comfortable.

Especially underwear.

It's not only absorbent but also soft, but the style is a bit strange; it always feels too unrestrained and passionate.

According to the doctor, that was the most popular style of Sky City before it was "digitalized." Although he didn't quite understand it, Feng Gu accepted this explanation.

After all, their frivolous uniforms are inherently improper.

What made her somewhat dissatisfied was...

"It's too deserted. Such a big city should have more residents and be more prosperous. But it's only in its initial stage now. It should be much better once it develops!"

As I pondered these thoughts, a sense of honor and anticipation arose spontaneously.

As a member of the startup team, she is contributing to the development of the city.

"?!"

Feng Gu suddenly realized.

She slapped her cheek hard, making a crisp "smack" sound:

"Calm down! Have integrity!"

"Don't accept everything so easily. Zuo Chang is no ordinary person! He is the Heavenly King General, a complete tyrant!"

"He's ruthless and heartless; how many followers did he abandon from beginning to end? Unless you're an absolute genius, you're bound to be neglected in the end! And you, are you a genius?"

Feng Gu believes she is not.

Opinions about the Heavenly King General are polarized. Similarly, on the question of whether one should follow the Heavenly King, there are two diametrically opposed views and one widely accepted consensus.

One school of thought believes:

The Heavenly King General doesn't understand people's hearts. He is the most ruthless monarch in the world. No matter what contributions a subordinate has made, once they fall behind him, they will be immediately abandoned.

Is there any need to follow such a heartless ruler?

One school of thought believes:

The Heavenly King General wasn't ignorant of human nature; he was simply fair to the point of being harsh. Most of the followers he abandoned were able to find a good place and achieve more than adventurers of the same level.

why?

Because the Heavenly King General is never stingy with rewards.

As long as someone serves him, even for a short period of time, he will provide them with tremendous support and significantly enhance their strength.

This kind of support, under any other general, would be hard-won without three to five years of hard work!

Labor is rewarded, merit is rewarded, and everyone is treated equally.

What more could one ask for than to serve such a monarch?

The two sides argued endlessly, and neither side managed to convince the other.

As for that consensus, it is—

If you possess exceptional talent, you are welcome to serve the Heavenly King General. He will provide you with the best opportunities and the most ample support; you need not worry about your talents going unrecognized.

"Perhaps, I'll be laid off when the community reaches four digits? After all, I'm actually quite weak among necromancers."

Snoring.

The breeze blows away the steam, and I sip my coffee.

"Dong dong."

There was a knock on the door.

Feng Gu looked up and saw the door open. Zuo Chang strode in, holding a document in his hand: "Director Feng."

"General?!"

Da da.

Feng Gu hurriedly stood up, his steps unsteady.

She brushed her long hair aside and asked, "What brings you here?"

"Just got back, came to check on things."

Zuo Chang looked at the documents in his hand.

This is data from Fenggu Statistics.

"I've read your report; it's very detailed. The current efficiency isn't very good. Why aren't you working around the clock?"

Zuo Chang looked at Feng Gu with slight dissatisfaction.

Feng Gu hurriedly said, "The radiation released by the Coffin of Interaction is quite damaging to the Corpse Puppets. Each Corpse Puppets must be recalled to the Soul Society after four hours of use and hung on the Ancient Tree of Rebirth for a whole day to repair the damage. I don't have that many Corpse Puppets, so continuous use is not feasible at the moment."

Integrity needs more corpses.

Zuo Chang asked, "How do you usually replenish the corpse puppets?"

“I have a skill called ‘Discover Corpse’. After using it, I can search for fresh corpses within a three-kilometer radius around me. This is usually how I collect corpse puppets.”

Zuo Chang nodded: "Take a break from your work and I'll bring you some reinforcements."
