Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

Zuo Chang didn't even look up: "Anonymous mode is a mechanism that can be cracked using a higher-priority mechanism."

"??"

Deputy Commander Wang was taken aback, not understanding.

Zuo Chang continued, “The simplest way to restrain this is through a ‘master-servant contract.’ After signing a master-servant contract, the master’s soul is linked to that of his servant, and he can sense the servant’s location instantly—thus, the anonymous mode becomes useless and loses its restrictive effect.”

Deputy Commander Wang frowned: "This... master-servant contracts are ancient history. Although our 96511 is a low-level community, our social atmosphere is relatively civilized, and we don't have master-servant contracts."

The master-servant contract is quite barbaric.

It is extremely uncivilized for a master to have the power of life and death over his servants.

Except for a very few communities, most communities rarely have such contracts.

Zuo Chang said, "This is a temporary measure. You can sign the contract first, and then find an opportunity to terminate it."

"This……"

Deputy Commander Wang shook his head. Even if they had similar awareness, they couldn't find the contract item for the time being.

He asked, "Is there any other way?"

"There are also special relationships. You should know about unique teams like the 'Hero Squad'. Members of such teams have a connection with each other, and their effect can break the anonymity mode. However, unique teams are difficult to obtain and are far less convenient than master-servant contracts."

"..."

Deputy Commander Wang fell silent again.

Are hero squads just ordinary things?

That's an honorary title that can only be obtained through trials by the gods. Once obtained, all members of the team will receive a numerical boost.

Even more stringent is—

The "Trial of the Gods" is an event that only a Grand General can participate in.

The honor of being the Brave Team undoubtedly belongs to the elite team personally led by the Great General, something ordinary adventurers like them can only dream of.

Deputy Commander Wang then asked, "Isn't there any other way?"

Zuo Chang shook his head and waved his hand, looking helpless: "The core concept is to use a unique sensing method to distinguish friend from foe. I don't know what methods you have, but just use this line of thinking."

Deputy Commander Wang and the others looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.

The next instant, a flash of white light appeared, and dozens of people were squeezed out of the instance, lying sprawled on the ground, not a single one alive.

Deputy Commander Wang turned his head and looked over, his face immediately filled with horror—

The patrol horses were among them!

"This……"

Deputy Commander Wang stood there, stunned.

The three immortals remained expressionless, then took out a talisman from their sleeves, lit it, and began chanting scriptures on the spot.

His integrity was equally swift; white light continued to seep from the corpse, extracting the last bit of profit.

Zuo Chang counted the number of people and said, "Including this batch, there are more than fifty people... Deputy Commander Wang, your operation has failed."

"……well!"

Dejected, Vice Commander Wang lamented, "After today, there will be no more Chief Adventurer's Team!"

……

……

Three full days have passed since the combined adventurer team suffered a crushing defeat.

The entire town of Postbox was shrouded in an atmosphere of pessimism.

All citizens have suffered greatly from the "Appetizers," and the powerful and wealthy have already moved their families to peaceful places to avoid the storm, silently waiting for the day the problem is resolved.

Many citizens were helpless; they lacked the courage and resources to leave and could only live cautiously and carefully.

The only thing that gave them some comfort was the "Triple Gate Adventure Team".

The leader of the Triple Gate stepped forward and announced that he possessed a family secret technique that could counteract the mental influence of the Glutton.

With a wave of his hand, he installed the "Mirror of Transcendence" in the square of Postbox City on the very night the Allied Forces were wiped out.

Those mirrors really did have a miraculous effect.

Simply standing in front of the mirror and basking in its light will instantly purify the pent-up violence within you.

Appetite can subtly alter a person's mental state, causing them to gradually lose themselves in a violent state of mind.

After being cleansed by the state of transcendence and returning to their original state of mind, people's first feeling is that they are sharp-eared and clear-sighted and feel relaxed all over. Then, when they recall their thoughts and feelings during this period, they can't help but feel a chill in their hearts and sigh at the insidious and vicious methods of those who are greedy!

then--

The leader of the Triple Gate, the True Man of Triple Realm.

The adventurer's name instantly gained widespread recognition among the citizens, and he certainly nailed the reputation aspect.

The next day, Mikami announced:

To alleviate the current predicament of Mailbox City, the Triple Gate Adventure Team has reached a strategic cooperation with the Reading Club.

The details of the collaboration are very simple.

The Triple Gate will provide ten additional "Transcendence Realms" mounted on vehicles. The reading club will send assistants to patrol the city day and night, continuously illuminating the minds of all citizens in order to purify their souls.

A strange scene unfolded in Mailbox City.

A trailer carrying a huge silver mirror was slowly driving down the street.

A loudspeaker on the bus continuously announced: "Attention citizens, the Mirror of Transcendence of the Triple Gate and the Reading Club has arrived. Citizens who are troubled or agitated are requested to step out of their rooms and receive the baptism of light to calm their minds."

The Mirror of Detachment can instantly soothe the mind and protect one from the influence of cravings for the next half hour.

Half an hour isn't enough.

The effects of an appetite are constant, around the clock!

and so……

Wherever the chariot of transcendence drove, crowds lined both sides of the street to watch, all standing on tiptoe and raising their hands to receive the light.

And because the effect was so outstanding, the difference between the before and after photos was like that of two different people. Within just two days, the prestige of the reading club and the Triple Gate both reached their peak!

Especially the triple gate.

Now, when people in Mailbox City talk about "adventurers," the representative figure that comes to mind is none other than the Threefold Immortal, who wears a Taoist robe and has an unfathomable expression.

In the streets and alleys, in teahouses and restaurants, whenever the radiant light of the Mirror of Transcendence shines upon everyone, and they feel refreshed and invigorated, who wouldn't give a thumbs-up and praise it:

"As expected, a true master doesn't reveal his abilities! In such a critical moment, only Commander Sanchong has stepped forward to carry the flag!"

On the fourth day—

A notice was posted throughout the city, in which the Triple Immortal boldly announced: "The Mirror of Transcendence cannot eradicate the problem, and the Triple Gate Adventure Team cannot bear to see living beings suffer. For the peace of Mailbox City, the Triple Immortal has decided to take a risk. Today, he will lead his team to raze the headquarters of the Eight Spiders and strangle the Gluttons!"

Hmm... The recent storylines are harder to write than I imagined. Farming-style development content is really not my forte, but I can't avoid writing it.

I'm really ashamed that today's update is so late. One more update is on its way.

Chapter 183 I Won't Tell You Unless You Ask

In the night breeze, Professor Dang Jue, Scholar Tang Yuan, and a group of cadres from the reading club stood at the entrance of the Eight Spiders headquarters.

The Eight Spiders were deathly silent, with swirling gray-white energy preventing anyone from entering. Only by killing the person who initiated the duplication process and ending it could this place be restored to its original state.

Professor Dang looked at the crowd around him and said, "In just three days, Zuo Chang has greatly increased the fame of the Triple Gate! Look at all these people, they've all come to see how the Triple Gate leader finishes the dungeon."

Tang Yuan looked around.

The announcement of the Triple Gate has attracted a lot of attention, and its reputation has plummeted compared to before, almost like a lifetime ago.

There were more than a hundred people present, including many experts, all there to watch and enjoy the spectacle.

Reflecting on Zuo Chang's actions, Tang Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Does Zuo Chang really have a solution?"

"He must be very confident. Defeating the Gluttons and seizing the position of city lord for the Triple Gate is clearly the whole picture of his plan. He is methodical and is achieving his goal step by step!"

Professor Dang had no doubt whatsoever, he asserted.

the end.

Recalling everything that had happened during this period, he exclaimed, "Zuo Chang's arrangements seemed ordinary, but in fact they were all intricately linked. He truly deserves to be called a legend!"

From Dang Jue's perspective, what did Zuo Chang do?

Zuo Chang first gave up the "Lord of Mailbox City" that he had already obtained, and instead suggested that the reading club support the person who defeated the appetite to become the lord.

That makes perfect sense.

There's no reason to refuse a book club.

It was thought that Zuo Chang would withdraw, but unexpectedly, he had already made his plans clear and was preparing to let the Three Real Persons take over as the city lord.

What's the difference between him taking the position himself and letting the Three True Immortals take it?

According to the current plot development, the reading club will fully support the three immortals as the new city lord—the reading club supports the three immortals, but what does this have to do with Zuo Chang?

If the reading group needs help in the future, it is not Zuo Chang who should give back, but San Chong.

However, Sanchong is clearly Zuo Chang's "subordinate". There is no difference between Sanchong being the city lord and Zuo Chang being the city lord. He will enjoy the same benefits as Zuo Chang.

The difference between this inflow and outflow is huge. Zuo Chang is just getting something for nothing and making a fortune!

Professor Dang thought about it carefully—

Deep down, he didn't really want Zuo Chang to live such a comfortable life.

Making the Triple Immortal the city lord of Mailbox City is indeed the best option at present.

The Triple Gate Adventure Team is considered one of the more professional teams in Mailbox City, and Triple True Man has recently gained a lot of popularity, plus the Heavenly King General is protecting them...

Taking all factors into account, Sanchong is the most suitable candidate. He can quickly end the conflict, which is what the book club wants to see.

The only problem right now is—

Does Zuo Chang truly possess the ability to defeat those with voracious appetites?
