Douluo Dragon King: I'm creating a golden age behind the scenes!

Qingling City

A small tourist town located in the southern part of the Federation, rich in natural atmosphere, surrounded by mountains, which are like a carefully sculpted barrier by nature, protecting this peaceful and beautiful town.

The climate here is pleasant, with gentle sunlight shining on every inch of land, and a light breeze carrying a refreshing scent.

Underground, several rivers converge here, flowing quietly underground for thousands of years, bringing a continuous stream of vitality to this small town.

In recent years, tourism in Qingling City has developed well. Every summer, Qingling City attracts nearly one million people to visit and escape the summer heat.

During this peak tourist season, the small town becomes exceptionally lively, with bustling streets filled with tourists dressed in all sorts of clothing, their faces beaming with excitement and joy.

It seems that the turmoil in the outside world has not affected the tranquility of this small town at all.

In recent years, the Spirit Pagoda has also noticed the development prospects here, believing that among the many tourists in Qingling City, there are many Soul Masters who may have needs such as spirit transfer and soul fusion.

Therefore, more attention was paid to the branch towers here.

Qingling City, Spirit Pagoda VIP Room

A middle-aged man led a young man in, carrying several documents. Approaching the boy, he respectfully said, "Inspector, this is a report on the sale of spirit spirits at the Spirit Pagoda in Qingling City over the past few years, including the percentage of spirit spirits of each attribute and the purchasing trends of spirit masters. Please review it!"

The young man was Zhou Mingyu, who had become a patrolling spirit messenger. He had come to the Qingling Tower two days ago to conduct a patrol.

He took the document, sat up slightly, and began to examine it carefully.

This was the third Spirit Pagoda in Qingling City that he had inspected, and he had gradually become proficient in the inspection duties.

His gaze swept quickly across the documents, sometimes frowning slightly, sometimes nodding gently, as if he were thinking about something.

Ten minutes later, after reviewing the document, Zhou Mingyu turned to his deputy standing beside him and said in a calm and firm voice, "Check carefully. If there are no problems, report to headquarters."

The deputy was named Liao Shan. He was tall and slender, and his eyes revealed loyalty and competence.

Upon hearing Zhou Mingyu's instruction, he immediately took the document and replied, "Yes!"

Then he respectfully took the document from Zhou Mingyu with both hands.

He also came from the Tianhai Spirit Transmission Tower and was Zhou Mingyu's carefully selected deputy and confidant among the younger generation of the Tianhai Spirit Transmission Tower.

Zhou Mingyu discovered Liao Shan's potential among many young members. Although Liao Shan was young, he was serious and responsible, and had a strong interest in and in-depth understanding of the Spirit Pagoda's business.

Therefore, Zhou Mingyu brought him along this time, entrusting him with some miscellaneous tasks that did not involve confidentiality, intending to cultivate him to be his future deputy.

He also knew that this opportunity was hard-won, and he did his best in everything he did.

After Liao Shan left, Zhou Mingyu looked at Tower Master Zhao and said, "Tower Master Zhao, this inspection of the Spirit Pagoda in Qingling City is about to end. Thank you for your cooperation these past few days. I will report the results to headquarters truthfully."

"I wouldn't dare. Cooperating with your work is simply our duty," Tower Master Zhao quickly replied.

Zhou Mingyu waved his hand, his eyes showing approval, and said, "No need to be modest. The rapid development of the Spirit Transmission Tower in Qingling City over the years is largely due to Tower Master Zhao's contributions."

After this inspection, he will surely be promoted. I congratulate Tower Master Zhao in advance.

At this moment, Zhou Mingyu felt particularly relaxed as he saw that his work had been successfully completed. He also understood that in such a large organization as the Spirit Pagoda, maintaining good relationships with the local tower masters would be of great benefit to his future work.

"Whether I get promoted or not doesn't matter. I'm just doing my job for the Spirit Pagoda, so it's not really a merit."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, a hint of enthusiasm flashed in Master Zhao's eyes, and he suddenly said, "I've noticed that you've been busy with work since you arrived; it must be very tiring."

"How about I have someone take you to the area around Qingling City so you can enjoy the scenery and relax?"

Zhou Mingyu frowned slightly and pondered for a moment.

He thought about how he had been busy with patrol duties every day recently, and his nerves had been constantly on edge, so he was indeed feeling quite tired.

So he nodded and said, "Well, that's fine, then I'll trouble Tower Master Zhao."

Upon hearing Zhou Mingyu's agreement, Tower Master Zhao turned and pushed the young man who had come with him in front of him, saying, "This is my son, Zhao Lin. If the Inspector doesn't mind, my son will take you sightseeing tomorrow."

Zhou Mingyu looked Zhao Lin up and down, smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, with Young Master Zhao leading the way, we're sure to see all the beautiful scenery around Qingling City."

After the agreement was reached, Tower Master Zhao left with Zhao Lin.

In the deep and quiet corridor of the Spirit Pagoda in Qingling City, the stone slabs underfoot made a soft "tap-tap" sound, which intertwined with the slightly heavy footsteps of the father and son.

Zhao Lin looked puzzled, secretly glancing at his father beside him. Finally, he couldn't help but speak, his voice tinged with childish confusion: "Father, doesn't the headquarters inspection come every three years? I've never seen you take it this seriously before. Why go to such lengths this time?"

Master Zhao stopped and turned around, looking at his son with a deep gaze.

The wall lamps in the corridor flickered with a dim yellow light, casting alternating shadows on his face and making his expression appear particularly solemn.

He slowly reached out and gently placed his hand on Zhao Lin's shoulder, saying earnestly, "Son, you are still young and don't understand some things yet. This inspector, Zhou Mingyu, is no ordinary person."

He is a top prodigy whom the headquarters is focusing on cultivating. At a young age, he has already made a name for himself in the world of soul masters, and his future achievements are limitless.

You absolutely must cultivate a good relationship with him this time; this is one of your few opportunities to get close to top-tier geniuses.

Zhao Lin frowned slightly, seemingly still not quite understanding his father's good intentions.

He looked at his father, a hint of stubbornness in his eyes: "Father, I don't understand. I can become strong through my own efforts, so why do I have to rely on others?"

Master Zhao sighed, his heart filled with mixed feelings. Only he knew that the so-called "promotion" was nothing more than making room for the sons of those powerful families.

He had been in charge of the Spirit Pagoda in Qingling City for many years, and although he was quite diligent, he was nothing more than an insignificant pawn in the complex world of Soul Masters.

He had already spent his life in this small Qingling City in a daze, wasting his best years in this small town, but he could not let his son repeat his mistakes.

But his son was different; he was born with level eight soul power. However, he also understood that the path to becoming a strong person was full of difficulties and obstacles. Relying solely on one's own efforts was far from enough. Resources and connections were indispensable factors.

Take spirit rings for example; a ten-thousand-year spirit ring would be enough to completely block his future path.

For this reason, he even gave up the opportunity for promotion and exchanged it with the higher-ups for the opportunity to join Zhou Mingyu's inspection team.

Thinking of this, Master Zhao's voice choked up. He held his son's hand tightly: "Son, I have no regrets in this life, but you are different. You have unlimited potential."

A top genius like Zhou Mingyu has vast resources and connections behind him. If you can gain his favor and help, your future will be much smoother. This is a rare opportunity, and your father doesn't want you to miss it.

As Zhao Lin listened to his father's words, he gradually understood his father's good intentions. Looking at his father's weathered face, he felt a pang of sadness.

He nodded vigorously and said, "Father, I understand. I will try my best to maintain a good relationship with the inspector."

A warm feeling welled up in Zhao Lin's heart; he felt his father's deep love and expectations for him.

He secretly vowed to seize this opportunity and live up to his father's expectations.

The father and son walked side by side in the corridor, the lights casting long shadows of them, as if telling of their beautiful dreams for the future.

Meanwhile, Zhou Mingyu, who was in the VIP room, withdrew his spiritual energy and understood why Tower Master Zhao was so enthusiastic. Watching the father and son leave, he sighed.

"The hearts of parents are always full of love and worry."
