Damn it, something's wrong with the gacha I got.

Jing Yuan paused for a moment, then turned to the fake Tingyun and said, "As for guiding the guests, Miss Tingyun will have to trouble you for a while longer."

Taking advantage of this moment, he discussed plans with General Tianji to complete a coordinated encirclement from both inside and outside.

"General, aren't you afraid that Miss Tingyun might suddenly attack and hurt you by taking advantage of Miss Tingyun's labor like this?"

At this moment, Chen Bai suddenly said something that made Jia Tingyun's heart skip a beat, but fortunately, Huanlong was a veteran actor and his acting skills were naturally superb.

So she smiled and changed the subject: "My benefactor is too kind. This is my duty, and I cannot shirk it."

Now is not a good time to expose ourselves.

After he obtained the abundant Jianmu tree, he bestowed upon Luofu and the Starry Sky Train an extraordinary and magnificent destruction.

......

At the same time, Chen Bai and his group arrived at the gate of the Bureau of Works.

However, a large number of craftsmen had gathered at the entrance, and their faces all looked very anxious.

"I feel that the people in the Industrial Department and the Tax Department are a bit different; they both seem very dedicated to their jobs."

On March 7th, he suddenly compared his thoughts to those of a certain fortune teller who was slacking off, and said the following.

"After all, it's work. Most people still rely on it to make a living. In the adult world, well, there's no such thing as easy."

Walter suddenly uttered a profound sigh.

"The road to pioneering has not been smooth sailing either~" Qiong said with a weathered look.

"Why are you all like this? Uncle Yang is one thing, but Qiong, how old are you?"

March 7th said irritably.

"March, let's not worry about that for now. Something must have happened at the Construction Bureau. I'd appreciate it if Miss Tingyun could help us find out."

Chen Bai interrupted March 7's rant and turned to the fake Tingyun.

"As my benefactor commands, I will do my duty."

So, Jia Tingyun went to find out what was going on, and soon returned to tell the others the whole story.

as predicted!

The events that occurred at the Industrial Construction Division were exactly as Kyō had predicted.

Because of the restoration of Fengrao's timber industry, the construction company caused a "tree disaster," and the craftsmen fled outside to take refuge.

However, there was also an old master craftsman inside, Master Gongshu, the most senior craftsman in the [Goldsmith Workshop], who said he needed to get something and rushed back halfway.

An apprentice named Ah Wei, who is his student, is now requesting the train crew to bring back their master.

Chapter 75 What I'm worried about isn't my master, but my own defense!

"You must be the rescue team sent by the Cloud Cavalry, right?"

The craftsman named Ah Wei asked.

Chen Bai: "Yes and no."

Ah Wei: ?

Is it yes or no?

"Ahem, let's not talk about that. Anyway, my master, Mr. Gongshu, is still inside. He is the most senior craftsman in our workshop and the master who guides our projects. If he were gone, it would be terrible!"

Ah Wei was very worried.

"I didn't expect you to be so worried about your master. What a deep bond between teacher and student!"

March 7th sighed, "I never thought there was a land in the world that missed its master so much." But the next second, March 7th was proven wrong.

"What?! I'm not worried about my professor, I'm worried about my graduation defense! If my professor is gone, our research group can't proceed, and if the research can't proceed, our group will have to disband. If the group disbands, then I won't be able to defend my thesis, and if I can't defend my thesis, then I won't be able to graduate!"

March 7th: "......"

I really thought you were worried about your teacher.

At this moment, Chen Bai interjected, "We can rescue your master, but how will you thank me?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Wei was taken aback: "Huh? Aren't you guys sent by the General to assist the Construction Department?"

Chen Bai curled his lip: "Who said that? We are going to the Pill Refining Division, and we can only go through the Construction Division. Since you want us to help save your master, you should at least give us something as a token of appreciation, right? We nameless guests are not free errand runners, so it is reasonable for us to receive some reward, isn't it?"

Ah Wei: "......"

He felt that the nameless guest in front of him looked exactly like the managers of the Star Peace Corporation on Luofu, with a greedy and money-grubbing appearance.

"But...but I don't have any money!"

Ah Wei hesitated for a moment. As a student, he didn't have any money in his pocket. He ate, drank, and relieved himself in the Construction Bureau every day. Moreover, the Construction Bureau was basically funded by the Shence Prefecture.

"In that case... if we need you to make any machines or anything, I'll contact your manufacturing department, but it will be 30% off."

Chen Bai thought for a moment. The Industrial Construction Department seemed to be a scientific research department on Luofu. It seemed to be able to make strange things like robots. If the Starry Sky Train needed to build some items in the future, it would be right to look for the old brand in Luofu.

"Well... okay, I agree."

After considering it for a moment, Ah Wei agreed.

“Very well, then you can all sign for me one by one. With proof in black and white, I, an anonymous customer, am not afraid that you will go back on your word.”

As Chen Bai spoke, he took out a piece of paper, quickly wrote down the relevant contents of the agreement, and handed it to the apprentices of Master Gongshu's group to sign.

After we go inside, we need to have Master Gongshu, the academic leader, sign it, and then have General Jingyuan stamp and sign it before it will have legal effect, so that Luofu won't deny the debt.

Walter was somewhat helpless watching Chen Bai's actions.

But oh well, I guess this can be considered a pioneering effort.

After Chen Baixin happily took the contract, he pointed to the gate of the Construction Bureau and said to Xing and Qiong, "This is for you two!"

"understand!"

The two gray-haired thugs understood immediately, and charged forward with their clubs. The destructive force smashed through the heavy doors of the Construction Bureau, revealing the stench emanating from the entrance.

Especially Ah Wei, who seemed to want to say something, but Chen Bai spoke first:

"This is a necessary sacrifice to save your master!"

Ah Wei: "......"

What a sacrifice!

Although the gates of the Industrial Construction Department were sealed, he still had the authority to open them; it would just take a little time.

Now he'll probably have to apply for repair funds from the Shence Prefecture afterwards.

Next, Chen Bai and his group crossed the steps and passed through the gate, where a scene of tree roots and tendrils covering the ground came into view.

These roots, like pythons, coiled around the various buildings of the construction company, and the fences and stone sculptures in the square were also covered with trees.

"I didn't expect the power of the star core to be so profound. Jianmu has been affected. We need to hurry, otherwise the erosion here will become even more severe!"

Walter Yang said.

"Uncle Yang, should we clear away these Jianmu trees?"

Asking about the Dao on the seventh day of the third month.

But Walter shook his head and replied, "It's no use. These roots will just grow back quickly even if we clear them, unless we address the root cause of this tree infestation."

He had seen some information about Fengrao Jianmu on the think tank. Monsters and plants affected by Fengrao have an unusually strong vitality. Unless the root is cut off, they will still revive.

“Mr. Walter, that leads to the depths of the Bureau of Works, but is blocked by abundant roadblocks. Perhaps Master Gongshu is there too.”

At this moment, Jia Tingyun suddenly spoke up.

Walter nodded slightly: "Miss Tingyun is right. We just need to clear the roots in the passage first."

"I've been waiting for you to say that, Uncle Yang!"

"Here comes the Trash Can Warrior!"

Xing and Qiong instantly transformed into excited huskies, wielding weapons and charging straight through, activating their house-destroying mode.

Before long, they had finished clearing the roots from the path.

Chen Bai and his group also went through the passage to the Industrial Construction Company.

Soon, they encountered an old man with a worried expression.

"Are you here to rescue the Construction Company?"

Xing: "Who are you? How did you know we're here to rescue the Industrial Construction Company?"

"That's wonderful!" The old man was almost in tears.

"Wait! Sir, who are you? Are you some kind of spy? We don't think we told you we were here to rescue the Construction Company, did we?"

Chen suddenly spoke up.

The elderly man was completely stunned by the sudden accusation.

"Wait! I'm not a spy, I'm Gongshu Liang from the Construction Bureau!" Master Gongshu quickly cried out his innocence.

But Chen countered with, "Then how can you prove you are Master Gongshu? What if you are a secret disciple of the Medicine King in disguise?"

Master Gongshu: "..."

No, I need to prove that I am who I am, right?

"Wait! You should have met my apprentice, Ah Wei, by now. I had to go save the furnace halfway through, so I rushed back and then sent him out to seek help again."

Master Gongshu hurriedly replied.

The "furnace" he mentioned is called the "Creation Furnace," a core device that provides vital energy to the immortal ship. It is said that the Year Sun is sealed inside, serving both to utilize its power and to wear it down.

"Oh, so you really are Master Gongshu! I'm so sorry, I thought you were a spy~"

Chen Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

Master Gongshu: "..."

Didn't I already say that I am Gongshu Liang?

He had some doubts about whether the rescue team sent by his apprentice was reliable or not.

Chapter 76 The Fengrao Black Deer Welcomes Its Noble Master

“Master Gongshu, we are entrusted by General Jingyuan and Grand Diviner Fuxuan to go to the Pill Cauldron Bureau. We are passing by here now. Could you please give us directions? We will help you solve the trouble with the Creation Furnace.”

Walter slowly began to speak.

"Thank you so much! This Creation Furnace has been occupied by a wood spirit, you must get rid of it!"

Master Gongshu was very anxious. Although he didn't know where Walter and the others had heard about the Creation Furnace, he didn't care about that now. Saving the furnace was the priority!

If the Creation Furnace malfunctions, it will cause trouble not only for the Manufacturing Department, but for the entire Luofu region.

Just as Master Gongshu was urging him on, Chen Bai arrived at his gate with a contract in hand and said to Master Gongshu:

“Master Gongshu, your students have all signed, you should sign too.”

Master Gongshu: ?

What is it?

Master Gongshu took it and roughly understood its contents.

It was simply a report to support the Industrial Development Bureau. The situation was urgent, and he couldn't worry about anything else, so he directly signed his name.

"All done, Uncle Yang. In March... and you two, stop cutting those roots. It's time to set off."

After Chen Bai happily took back the contract, he shouted something to his friends and then led the charge.

"Wait for us, Ah Bai!"

March 7th and the others quickly followed.

Next, guided by Master Gongshu, the group fought monsters and eventually arrived at an open area.
