Sir! Don't close the net!

"It's very simple. The fastest and most effective way to wake someone from a beautiful dream is to whip them."

El was taken aback, then suddenly realized and nodded vigorously. "I understand. Leave it to me. I will also act according to your instructions regarding the civilians in Guoweidun and will not do anything unnecessary. You can rest assured and wait for the results!"

After saying that, El bent over and ran towards the Sheep Village Building.

Li Yili blinked. Although he didn't know what El had figured out, El's abilities were undeniable. Since he already knew the seriousness of the problem and the direction of the solution, there was nothing to worry about. He didn't care much about what the Yunzhong would encounter, since El had already guaranteed that he wouldn't do anything unnecessary in dealing with the civilians in Guoweidun.

After observing the residents of Guoweidun in the alley for a while and confirming that everything was as usual, Li Yili leisurely returned to the security booth at the entrance of the Sheep Village Building and started reading the newspaper.

After a while, it was seven o'clock. Yerobo An passed by the security booth without stopping, but Li Yili could clearly feel Yerobo An's gaze on him.

Li Yili put down the newspaper and sighed deeply. "It's such a pity. He looked like he was about to go crazy, but he actually managed to get through it."

Each time a chosen one absorbs the power of an inheritance, they face the risk of losing control and dying.

So for him, the perfect scenario would be that last night, Yeroboam died in the center of the Temple of Gowerton because he couldn't lick his target, so that the black goat's offspring would fall into his hands again, and the damage caused by the Chosen One's failure to absorb the legacy would be confined to the Temple of Gowerton. Ideally, the power would be so great that the Temple of Gowerton would be completely destroyed.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Surrounded by the Caramel People, Yeroboam not only completed the absorption, but did it more than once. Just when he left, Yeroboam had already thrown out three portions of contaminants.

Judging from Jeroboam's actions and expression just now, Jeroboam's mind was quite stable, with no signs of losing control. Therefore, his absorption today and tomorrow will most likely go very smoothly.

"Damn it! I underestimated a simp!"

Li Yili subconsciously began to curse under her breath.

"What's the point of licking the boots? You disrupt the market and gain nothing. In the end, you'll just end up with nothing but kneeling on the ground, crying in despair..."

Li Yili was startled, then stood up abruptly, causing the newspapers to fall to the ground with a rustling sound.

The perfect ending he wanted didn't seem impossible to achieve. Why are simps always so persistent and tenacious? Because simps can always find countless reasons to tell themselves that there is still a chance, that as long as they try harder and compromise a little more, they can succeed.

This pillar of support is extremely strong, but as long as we attack...

Break this spiritual pillar—no, you don't even need to break it; just increase the cracks, and this spiritual pillar will naturally collapse.

The best way to make a simp crumble is for the goddess to reject him without giving him room for wishful thinking or self-deception.

Just now, he came up with a very unethical battle plan. If it succeeds, he will happily enjoy a perfect ending; if it fails... he can still thoroughly disgust Yeropon.

“It’s time to create a simp killer,” Li Yili grinned, revealing a bright smile.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: I want them all

For some reason, electricity, which can be used as an energy source, is a very precious and limited resource in this world, similar in status to oil.

Out of curiosity, Li Yili conducted a special investigation and found that there seemed to be no second industrial revolution in this world, and there was no sign of power generation technology. However, upon closer examination, this was quite normal. The premise for discovering more convenient and powerful energy sources is that the current energy sources cannot meet the needs of the times.

Here, the legacy of the gods can satisfy many needs, but it also limits imagination. After all, if you can create lightning by hand, who would consider burning coal to generate electricity? Although... hand-created lightning is completely unusable as an energy source.

Therefore, there are no reliable gadgets in the world that require electricity, such as tape recorders.

But the tape recorder is science, physics, and a phenomenon. It's just that this phenomenon hasn't been well utilized or developed, perhaps because there are magical conch shells in this world.

Li Yili held her chin up and down, looked at the shop window in front of her, tilted her head, and said, "I want this piece of glass, oh, I want that piece of glass too, that one is not bad either, pack them all up for me."

The waiter, who was rubbing his hands, was stunned. Three big question marks appeared on his head. Of course, despite his doubts, he was clear about one thing: if Li Yili packed up all the glass, he would lose his job.

The waiter, with an awkward yet forceful gesture, reached out to Li Yili, who was tapping on the glass to check its hardness.

"Um, excuse me, these glasses aren't..."

Li Yili didn't even turn her head. She raised her hand and flicked it behind her, and several gold coins landed in the waiter's hand.

The waiter rubbed the gold coins in his hand together.

It's the real deal.

……

"Where do you need it delivered to? By the way, what do you think of this window? We clean it every day!"

Soon all the glass in the gift shop was removed, and a dusty gust of wind swept into the clean gift shop. The "precious" items, which were usually not allowed to be touched by customers who looked like they couldn't afford them, were covered with a layer of dust. But both the shop assistants and the owner were grinning foolishly around the few gold bills left by Li Yili.

"Mr. Richard?"

Li Yili was taken aback and turned to look. Yolan, who was carrying vegetables in her left hand and a chicken that hadn't been plucked yet in her right, was staring at him with a look of astonishment.

“It’s Mr. Li Yili,” Li Yili put down the awl in his hand, glanced at the chicken that Yolan was holding in his right hand, and gave Yolan a gentle smile. “Is your birthday around these two days? Or is it your wife’s birthday around these two days?”

Yolan, who was also observing what Li Yili had bought, was startled and subconsciously hid the chicken in her hand behind her back, her eyes darting away. "It's no one's birthday. Mr. Richard, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, Yoram lowered his head, turned around, and started walking in the opposite direction.

Li Yili raised her hand towards Yolan's departing figure, "Um... your family isn't that Fang... uh..."

Li Yili lowered her hands and scratched the back of her head in distress.

"Did I say something I shouldn't have? Could it be that I bought too many different kinds of gifts before?"

Unfortunately, no one could answer his question, and he had very important things to do right now.

Let's visit after everything is finished.

Li Yili shook her head, picked up the bag containing various tools, turned around, and walked towards the sunlight on the road back to the ranch.

"Eh—"

Abu Jean stared wide-eyed at El, who was leaning against the cubicle door with his arms crossed and a serious expression. Seeing that El had no intention of explaining further, he looked at Simonjol and the others beside him and let out a long sigh.

“Don’t look at us, we only found out last night,” Heman pointed to his dark circles. “I didn’t dare close my eyes all night, afraid that if I opened them I would be hanging dead.”

"So, it's true!"

Abu Jean swallowed hard, gesturing with his hand as he stammered, "Yay, Deputy Minister Yeropon, he, he and the other departments intend to push all the responsibility onto us?"

"Otherwise, why do you think those departments that usually give us attitude would suddenly be so willing to hand over the pollutants to us?" Joel let out a long sigh. "They just think the black goat's offspring are completely useless and want to squeeze out every last bit of value from it."

"Then, let's quickly withdraw those plans! There's still time!"

The impatient Abou Jean wanted to rush over immediately, but as if he had been expected to do so, El leaned against the door of the cubicle from the start, blocking Abou Jean's way.

"Executive!"

“Abu, calm down,” El patted him on the shoulder. “You also submitted a proposal that looks like it was chewed up by a dog, right?”

Abu Jang's expression

They froze, instinctively turning their eyes away. The remaining four people were also either looking at the ceiling or whistling.

"This, this..."

"Why do you think Yeropon approved everything so readily?" Al pointed a finger. "Those departments probably already had a plan to shift the blame to us, so it doesn't matter what our plan is like. The pollutants will be transported to Guoweiton tomorrow, and the Crusade will probably arrive in Guoweiton within a few days and wipe us out."

"How could this be..." Abu Jean wailed helplessly, "Isn't there any other way?"

"Have."

Al's rather straightforward affirmation made Abu Jean and the other four, who had just built up their emotions, almost lose their composure.

El's mind flashed back to Li Yili's confident smile, and his confidence soared. He stood up straight, "Not only can we avoid being executed by the Crusader Army, but we can also safely swallow that batch of contaminants and complete the séance!"

Heman, Joel, and the other three stared wide-eyed, and Abu Jean couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Really!"

This was an utterly hopeless situation for them. The Crusaders would execute them all without mercy. Other departments wouldn't help them, because they were the ones who pushed them down. Even Jeroboam, the chosen one, couldn't save them, because Jeroboam was the culprit. But El told them that not only could they avoid execution by the Crusaders, but they could also ingest the contaminant and even complete a séance?!

"All I can say is that we have a big shot helping us out. He can cover for us, but we can't be a burden forever. Fortunately, that big shot put aside past grievances and entrusted this very important task to me, no, to be precise, to us."

El's solemn demeanor commanded the respect of everyone else.

"Let's make sure everyone else knows what's going on these next two days! To accomplish this, no, this mission, we need manpower!"

Chapter Sixty-Nine: What you can't have is always the most alluring.

"What are you doing...?"

Li Yili, carrying large and small bags, raised an eyebrow and looked Valqiu Lei up and down.

Her long, golden hair, which always cascaded down like a waterfall, was carefully styled into a bun at the back of her head, revealing her snow-white, jade-like neck. Beneath her slender eyebrows, her spirited eyes were slightly narrowed, giving her an air of arrogance that nonetheless inspired disgust.

No longer a white blouse that could be worn as a dress, nor underwear, but a floor-length evening gown. The base color of the gown was a gradient of snow white and off-white. The masterful tailoring perfectly outlined Valkyrie's stunning figure. A high slit with a graceful line extended from the hem of the skirt to the top of her thigh, revealing her fair and slender legs. Golden iris jewel decorations hung on her snow-white skin, making them incredibly eye-catching.

Beneath her skirt, her beautiful, jade-like feet, seemingly not meant to be on the ground, were gently swaying in white high-heeled sandals adorned with rhinestones, as if waiting for someone to help her put them on.

Seeing Li Yili standing there in a daze, Valqiu Lei, who was holding a cup of black tea, gave a soft hum and took an elegant sip of the tea.

She spent the morning in a daze, unable to understand why Li Yili wouldn't eat the meat offered to her. She was usually very proactive, but this morning she refused to eat it, especially with that disgusted look in her eyes that seemed to want to vomit.

Her self-esteem and pride were shattered.

After much reflection, she finally concluded that it must be because she had spoiled Li Yili too much! She always acted as if she could get what she wanted easily, and by going too far with the "benefits," it was as if there were no benefits at all. This made Li Yili feel tired of it. After all, what you can't have is always the most alluring.

What do you think! One of my favorite combat suits!

"Uh... your brain was originally in your chest? I'm sorry, I accidentally damaged your brain," Li Yili leaned back slightly and slowly walked to the side against the wall, with no intention of getting close to Valkyrie.

Valkyrie coughed loudly, slammed her teacup on the table, and blushed. "Is this your reaction?! I'm super shy! What are you doing?! Come closer to me! Am I that scary?!"

“Ha—you’re usually practically naked and I’ve never seen you blush, so why are you all shy when you’re dressed?” Seeing that Valhou Lei was still the Valhou Lei she remembered, Li Yili relaxed a lot and slowly walked towards Valhou Lei.

Valkyrie was taken aback, her eyes flickered, and she raised her right hand to fan her face uneasily.

Li Yili walked right past Valkyrie, placed the items on the table, and started fiddling with them.

A crack appeared on Valkyrie's face as her pride overcame what little shyness she had left.

"Li Yili! Let me tell you! You're in luck today! I'm giving you special permission to get my clothes dirty!"

Valkyrie turned around and opened her arms to Li Yili.

"I'll count to ten! No more waiting after that!"

"ten!"

"Oh, this wrench is more delicate than I imagined."

"Nine!"

"This Phillips screwdriver is pretty good."

"Eight!"

Valkyrie's eye twitched.

"seven!"
