Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

"Hmm." Gu Chen nodded, then looked at Lin Fei and said, "Lin Fei, don't be discouraged. After I go to Li Huo Prefecture to take up my post, if there is a vacancy for the position of the Night Watch Chief in that city, I will transfer you there to take up the post."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fei was overjoyed.

He hurriedly and excitedly replied, "Yes, thank you, sir."

With Gu Chen's promise, he felt relieved.

To be able to follow in Gu Chen's footsteps.

He will definitely go further.

Other members.

I also felt envious.

This is the benefit of following the right leader.

It's done.

When the eldest son rises to prominence, his cronies also rise to the same heights.

He was just thinking that Gu Chen would be transferred and Liang Xiaoyun would take over.

They felt a pang of reluctance.

Gu Chen has strong abilities and a powerful background, so he was appointed as their director.

These subordinates of theirs all had a strong backbone. When Gu Chen was in power, even disciples from some major sects dared not provoke the Night Watch of Jiuwan City.

After he left, he stopped receiving this treatment.

Liang Xiaoyun doesn't have that kind of imposing presence.

But Gu Chen is a hidden dragon, and it's impossible for him to stay in the Night Watch of Jiuwan City forever.

There's nothing we can do about this.

Gu Chen finished arranging things.

Saying goodbye to everyone.

He then left the Night Watch of Jiuwan City.

Having explained everything clearly, he set off directly for Li Huo Mansion.

Preparing to take office.

He no longer needs any of the three rewards he received today; he'll wait until things settle down after he takes office.

Find another opportunity to sell them all.

If he can exchange it for more than 150,000 taels of silver, then he will have saved almost half of the silver needed to break through to the early stage of the Core Formation Realm.

One hour.

Gu Chen then rushed from Jiuwan City to Lihuo Prefecture.

They arrived outside the Night Watch of Li Huo Mansion.

The Night Watch of Li Huo Prefecture was four or five times larger in scale than that of the Night Watch of Jiuwan City.

After all, they had reached the level of a prefectural-level night watchman.

The number of newly added institutions has also increased.

The number of law enforcement and night watch personnel has been increased.

Outside the Night Watch, just like in Nine Bays City, there are two stone lions, only they are much larger, about the size of a small elephant, and even more majestic and imposing.

Outside the gate, guards were two people at the early stage of the third realm of the Innate Realm.

Upon seeing Gu Chen arrive, the two were taken aback after recognizing his appearance.

They knew Gu Chen.

I recently led the city's night watchmen to force our way through this place.

I wonder what they're doing here at the Fire Guard again.

They were unaware that Gu Chen was their newly appointed director.

He Teng was taken away by him, and the charge of being a spy has been confirmed; he will not be coming back.

Currently, the Li Huo Prefecture Night Watch Division is managed by two deputy directors.

Knowing that Gu Chen had an extraordinary background, they respectfully asked, "May I ask what brings you to our Li Huo Prefecture Night Watch Division, sir?"

Gu Chen took out his official seal and showed it to the two of them, then said, "I am your newly appointed head of the Night Watch Division of Li Huo Prefecture."

The two were startled upon hearing this.

They hurriedly stepped forward to check Gu Chen's official seal.

After confirming the official seal was genuine and that Gu Chen was indeed the newly appointed head of the Night Watch Division of their Li Huo Prefecture, he immediately knelt down and said, "Greetings, Your Excellency."

They didn't expect that.

The newly appointed director turned out to be Gu Chen.

That was truly unexpected.

However, considering that he had been dismissed from his post as the head of the Nine Bays City Night Watch, and that he had a powerful background and strength.

Furthermore, they eliminated the previous director, He Teng, and uncovered his collusion with Japanese pirates.

He made a great contribution.

They figured it out.

It's only natural that he would come to take office.

"Okay, get up." Gu Chen told the two of them to get up.

Then they stepped into the Night Watch.

The two guards hurriedly followed him inside.

"Go and inform all the Night Watch personnel of Li Huo Prefecture to assemble," Gu Chen said to the two.

"Yes!" The two men received the order and hurriedly went to inform the others.

Gu Chen's task for today.

It means being familiar with the personnel structure of a prefecture's night watchman's office.

The county's Night Watch was the lowest-ranking institution, consisting of only one chief watchman, two deputy chief watchmen, and ten watchmen.

The size of a prefecture's night watchman's office is even larger.

The number of law enforcement night watchmen has been increased.

A prefectural night watchman.

The top leader, the director of the prefecture, is a sixth-rank official.

The second-in-command, the chief leader of the law enforcement and night watch team, is a sixth-rank official.

Next were two deputy directors, both of the seventh rank, and two deputy chief leaders of the law enforcement and night watchmen, both of the seventh rank.

Next were four chief officers, all of the eighth rank, and four captains of the night watchmen, all of the eighth rank.

Each officer had twenty-five men under his command, equivalent to a large company, and held the rank of ninth grade.

Each captain of the Night Watch Guard also has twenty-five Night Watch Guards under his command, all of whom are of the ninth rank.

There are eight squads in total, with two hundred official Night's Watchmen.

Secondly, there are the externally hired guards.

There were nearly five hundred people.

One chief captain and twenty battalion commanders.

They specialize in doing odd jobs.

These outsourced personnel, even those doing odd jobs, must at least be at the third level of the Innate Realm.

This is the entry requirement.

Because under the jurisdiction of Li Huo Prefecture, there are twelve cities, more than 150 counties, and more than 1,800 towns.

It covers a vast area.

It has a population of around 300 million.

The Night Watch of a prefecture is responsible for managing all demons, evil spirits, and cults causing trouble within its territory. Without sufficient strength, it is impossible to fulfill this responsibility.

Soon, at the Fire Palace Night Watch Square.

More than two hundred officially employed staff and all guards were summoned.

The head of the law enforcement guards learned that Gu Chen had come to serve as the head of the Night Watch Division of Li Huo Prefecture.

They rushed over immediately.

He was the second-in-command of the night watchman's office in the prefecture.

He commands half of the Night Watch Division of a prefecture.

Although the official rank was sixth grade, it was not the same as the sixth grade of director.

In theory, however, it is equivalent to the director-general level.

He generally has some decision-making power over major matters within the Night Watch.

This is a strategy employed by the Night Watch's higher-ups to prevent the Night Watch Chief from wielding too much power without checks and balances.

Of course, this was directed at an ordinary director.

If the director has a powerful background, then the head of the law enforcement and night watchmen will still have to obey orders.

On Gu Chen's side, he had someone bring over the identity registers and cultivation information of all the staff and external personnel of Li Huo Mansion.

I read through everything.

The person with the highest cultivation level in Li Huo Mansion is the leader of the law enforcement guards, whose strength is at the mid-stage of the sixth-grade Breaking Aperture Realm.

Secondly, there were two deputy directors of the Night Watch and two deputy leaders of the law enforcement Night Watch, one of whom was at the peak of the True Essence Realm, and the other three were at the late stage of the True Essence Realm.

Of the four chief officials and the four captains of the law enforcement and night watchmen, two had reached the early stage of the True Essence Realm, while the rest were all at the peak of the fifth stage of the Innate Realm.

The captain of the five hundred hired guards was at the early stage of the True Essence Realm.

The remaining two hundred or so staff members and five hundred or so guards were all at cultivation levels ranging from the early stage of the third innate realm to the late stage of the fifth innate realm.

Everyone is present.

Gu Chen looked at everyone and said, "Let me introduce myself. I am your new director, Gu Chen."

"Greetings, Your Excellency!" Upon hearing this, everyone knelt down on one knee and bowed to Gu Chen.

Even the chief of the law enforcement and night watch of Li Huo Prefecture bowed slightly.

Express your attitude.

He hadn't shown any such reaction when He Teng took office before.

He Teng is different from Gu Chen.

In his opinion, Gu Chen was superior to He Teng in terms of talent, ability, potential, and background.

Gu Chen was able to take up his post in Li Huo Prefecture through genuine merit.

Despite having the help of his master, Shangguan Wuqing.

But Gu Chen's achievements are real.

They are fundamentally different from He Teng, a good-for-nothing who has accomplished nothing.

It is worthwhile for him to express his position.
