Their commission was suspicious.

"Otherwise, it could be that the bigwigs in the upper district have shown mercy?" Seele sneered.

"Chen Luo! Chen Luo!" March 7's voice rang out in front of Chen Luo and the others.

"Why does this lower level seem so powerful? The information we gathered from the upper level doesn't match this."

"Of course I did it, who else could it be?"

"So you're the one who sold these memory breads that are considered rare but sold for dirt cheap?" March 7th asked, pointing to a stall not far away.

“That’s right.” Chen Luo nodded.

"Hook!" While Chen Luo and March 7th were having a pleasant conversation, Xi'er grabbed Hook by the back of his collar and looked at him.

"You skipped school again?"

“What do you mean by skipping school? It means school hasn’t even started yet!” Hook’s short legs and arms flapped back and forth.

"Fine, you still dare not skip morning self-study?" Xi'er said after estimating the time.

"But isn't morning self-study not mandatory? Lord Hook the Dark wouldn't go to morning self-study just because of a mere breakfast!"

"Besides, Hook has important business to attend to!" Hook tried to explain.

"What important business could you possibly have?"

“I’m looking for a child, the one who sat behind me in class yesterday. Although she seemed a bit mischievous, always pulling on my hat during class, she hasn’t shown up since yesterday afternoon, so I’m a little worried. Sister Xi’er, do you know anything about her? That child looks a bit like you.” Hook said softly.

While Lord Hook in black is indeed very strong, Seele's destructive power is even greater than Hook's. According to the rules of mischievous children, Hook cannot loudly contradict Seele.

“…” Seele fell silent instantly.

If Seele understands correctly, the person Hook is looking for is probably, maybe, possibly... herself.

"Sister Seele, do you know something?" Hook's eyes lit up when he noticed Seele's silence.

“That child is dead.” Seele didn’t want to dwell on the matter any longer.

"What?!!"

“Xi’er was just joking with you. Actually, that child was Xi’er’s child from the future, and she has already sent her back to the future,” Chen Luo suddenly interjected.

"Is it that amazing?!" Hook exclaimed in surprise.

"But whose child is that Seele with?" Hook scratched his head.

"How would I know? Go ask your sister Xi'er." After interrupting with that, Chen Luo immediately started talking to March 7 again.

Finally, Chen Luo gave Xi'er a look: You're welcome!

I'll thank you my foot!

"Chen Luo, you bastard, do you flirt with other girls like this when I can't see you?" Mebius's fingers landed on the soft flesh of Chen Luo's waist as he moved closer to Chen Luo.

"What? Möbius, you really don't understand love at all. If this counts as flirting, then love would be too easy. Honestly, without me, with your understanding of love, how could you possibly have a boyfriend?"

“…” Mebius merely glanced coldly at Chen Luo and said nothing more.

If he could beat Chen Luo, Mebius could twist Chen Luo's head off right now, since Chen Luo can be resurrected anyway.

"By the way, Xier, what brought you to the clinic this time?" Chen Luo suddenly asked.

"Oh, it's like this, over at the mining area, those homeless people and the miners almost got into a fight." As soon as Chen Luo brought up serious matters, Seele naturally tossed Hook aside.

"Honestly, why are you getting fewer and fewer subordinates in the lower districts, and why do you never care about the fighting between the lower districts?" Seele couldn't help but complain.

The members of the Earthfire team in the lower zone hadn't even had a few days to rest thanks to the support from the Firemoth before they started getting busy again as the Firemoth team was gradually withdrawing its personnel.

To be precise, the gradual withdrawal of personnel only began today.

“Because the lower district is ultimately your lower district, the knowledge and machine operation skills of the Moth of Fire members will gradually be transferred to the people of the lower district. As for the conflict between miners and wanderers, we are truly powerless to do anything about it. We can stop it, but outsiders have no right to interfere in internal conflicts within a country. Therefore, it is still necessary for you, the people of Earthfire, to manage it personally,” Chen Luo said.

"I know, but can't we let everyone in Di Huo get a few more days of rest? We haven't had a holiday in years." Seele stretched.

"Then you went to school during the holidays?" Chen Luo blinked.

“…” Xi’er almost strained her back because of Chen Luo’s words.

"Let's hurry up and go check on the conflict site. Besides, that's where we agreed yesterday to put the energy core." Xi'er didn't want to continue talking about this topic with Chen Luo.

"Let's go then."

“Young Miss, please. I’ll take you to see just how chaotic the lower district is now. And you should know that just a few days before Chen Luo arrived, the lower district was even more chaotic than it is now.”

“Hmm.” Bronya didn’t seem to notice Seele’s tone.

In Bronya's view, it's not entirely incomprehensible that the people in the lower districts harbor resentment towards the upper districts.

While the others were talking, Bronya also temporarily reconciled with March 7.

Although Bronya didn't know what the Star Core that March 7 and the others were talking about was, she had long suspected that the Great Guardians were hiding something.

Moreover, we are now in the lower districts, so even if we catch March 7th, it will be meaningless.

"Speaking of which, now that there's sunlight underground and crops that can be grown in the lower levels, why do you, Chen Luo, still insist on letting the people in the lower levels mine minerals?" Xi'er asked on the way.

"To be precise, today's conflict is due to the news released yesterday by Moth Chaser about a large-scale acquisition of Earth Essence. This has made the Earth Water Vein discovered by the First Mining Team, which is said to be the largest Earth Water Vein discovered in nearly 30 years, even more valuable."

Seele was unaware of the situation in the mining area, but now that she had a cell phone, she quickly received the message through the signal stations scattered throughout the lower levels.

“It can’t be supplied to the upper districts, can it? The lower districts can be self-sufficient with crops right now. I’d like to know what would happen to the upper districts if they didn’t receive any earth marrow for two consecutive months.” As she said this, Seele gave Bronya a special glance.

The only communication between the lower and upper zones is the Earth Essence Supply Line. The lower zone supplies Earth Essence to the upper zone, and the upper zone supplies resources to the lower zone, but the resources supplied are scarce, far less than what the Fire-Chasing Moths provide.

Therefore, in the eyes of some people, cutting off the supply of earth marrow to the upper-level areas and letting them taste the bitterness is not excessive at all!

"No!" Bronya said instinctively.

Chapter 1538 Chen Luo: Bronya, from now on, we'll call each other by our own names. You can call me...

Because she came from the upper zone, Bronya knew what would happen to the upper zone if the lower zone cut off the supply of earth marrow to the upper zone.

The original Beloborg was indeed able to withstand the cold, but as its protective power weakens, without the earth's core to provide heat, the people in the upper levels will likely freeze to death.

"What's it to you? The upper district doesn't care about the lower district anymore, so why should the lower district care about the upper district?" Seele said defiantly.

In fact, this atmosphere has already spread throughout the lower districts thanks to the help the Fire Moths have given to them.

There is no harm without comparison.

Previously, the lower districts desperately mined the earth's essence in order to obtain meager resources from the upper districts. Even so, resources were still extremely scarce in the lower districts.

Thanks to the poverty alleviation program "Chasing the Fire Moth," children in the lower-class areas now have access to education, adults have enough to eat as long as they are willing to work, medical care is free, and they are even able to save a considerable amount of money.

Moreover, the prices of various magical items are cheaper than cabbage.

The lower area has now taken the shape of a moth drawn to a flame.

In fact, Chen Luo felt that Seele from the lower level was already quite calm, as she didn't immediately grab a scythe and attack Bronya from the upper level.

Compared to enemies, traitors are the most hateful.

In the eyes of the people in the lower districts, the upper districts, who abandoned them, are the traitors!

Now that you have a new "older brother" who provides you with food, clothing, schools, base stations, cell phones, memory bread, and free medical care... who would still want you in the upper class?

Upper District? What Upper District? Let's all stop associating with each other in the future, I'm afraid the Moths of Fire will misunderstand.

This idea is not prevalent among the older generation in the lower districts, like Natasha, who has her own parents in the upper districts. However, it is very common among people like Seele, who grew up in the lower districts and have neither relatives nor friends in the upper districts.

"No, Seele."

"Hmm?" Xi'er looked at Chen Luo, who had suddenly spoken.

“The people in the lower districts trust the Moth of Fire far too much, which isn’t a good thing. Although I truly have no ill intentions, you must also be wary of those who want to corrupt you with sweet words,” Chen Luo said.

"Not everyone who wants to help the lower districts is a good person; some may have ulterior motives. We cannot forget the years of connection between the upper and lower districts for a small amount of personal gain."

While adopting the perspective of the lower zone can indeed be very unpleasant for the upper zone, from an overall perspective, the conflict between the upper and lower zones will only result in mutual destruction.

The situation in the lower and upper districts was somewhat like a battle between two cities, but before the blockade, working in the lower district was considered an honor, representing their willingness to make great sacrifices for the entire Beloborg.

Moreover, the two cities have only been separated by less than a generation, so eliminating the barriers is much simpler.

Why don't you mention that you also received a request from Natasha to prevent the people of the Lower District from harboring too much hatred towards those of the Upper District?

"Isn't it reasonable to complete the commission while doing a good deed? Does being a good person mean you don't get paid?" Chen Luo said matter-of-factly.

"..." Bronya opened her mouth to hear Chen Luo's words, but said nothing.

Because Bronya discovered that Chen Luo had said everything she wanted to say but had no right to say.

So you really have ulterior motives?

"Hmm, is that any of your business? Didn't you say you wanted the lower district to surpass the upper district?" Chen Luo looked at Xi'er with surprise at her question.

"...Really, you don't have any other thoughts?" Seele wasn't doubting, but rather curious.

There was also the idea of ​​using the contrast between the Fire Moth and the Upper Zone to thoroughly "humiliate" Bronya.

"You still have ideas... Do you know that? You can exchange some junk for memory bread, and one slice is enough to buy the entire Lower District. If I have any feelings for the Upper District, helping the Lower District is purely because of your and Natasha's wishes," Chen Luo said.

"Tsk tsk, if all the young men in the lower districts were as good at flirting as you, the birth rate in the lower districts would have skyrocketed long ago." Seele shook her head.

That being said, Seele's pressure was also increasing.

Seele always felt that even if she worked hard for 100 years, she still wouldn't be able to afford a Memory Bread (the real price).

[Möbius: I played with the entire pre-civilization against you, and you went and dated some wild girl from the lower districts?]

"..." Chen Luo has been increasingly wanting to install a humanization plugin lately.

"Upper District, what do you want to do in the Upper District?" Bronya asked warily.

"Hmm... guess?"

"..."

"Don't be so wary, I just want to find a suitable place for my men to live," Chen Luo said, pointing to the Moth Chasers members working in front of him.

“We don’t need your Belloberg. We just need to occupy a place in that snow-covered land. But if you think about it that way, it seems like it’s okay to do it without your consent, since you simply don’t have the ability to get out of the snow.”

"Beyond the snowstorm...do you have the capability to transform those areas?"

“Of course. By the way, Bronya, you're the next High Protector, right? If something happens to Cocolia, you'll be the head of Beloberg, right?” Chen Luo thought to himself.

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this explosive news, Seele couldn't help but re-examine Bronya.

Unexpectedly, this little girl who was accidentally brought to the lower district was not only a Silvermane Iron Guard, but also the next Great Guardian.

"What do you want to do? Are you trying to harm the Great Guardian?"

"Is this how you perceive me, Chen Luo?" Chen Luo frowned.

"Then what do you want to do?" Bronya asked, puzzled.

"Lady Bronya, may I please hug your leg for a moment?" Chen Luo said shyly.

"???"

Not only did Bronya take a step back upon hearing this, but even Seele, who had nothing to do with her, couldn't help but look at Bronya's black-stockinged thighs.

"As long as you, Lady Bronya, agree to grant the Firemoth 1/10 of the snow-covered land of Yalilo 6 as an overseas base after returning to the Upper District, I guarantee you, Lady Bronya, will live a life of luxury in the Lower District. I'll also provide you with a super energy center second only to the Lower District! What do you say, Lady Bronya?" Chen Luo approached Bronya and tempted her with words.

"Phew, so this is what it means to suck up to someone's coattails." Seele breathed a sigh of relief.

"What else did you think? So, Mebius, can you put away your dark mines?" Chen Luo glanced at the green dark mines surging in the shadow beneath his feet and swallowed hard.

[Möbius doesn't mind if you go out and see other women while she's doing experiments, but only if it happens during her experiments.]

“I’m not the Grand Guardian, I can’t make a decision at this level.” Bronya was a little unaccustomed to Chen Luo’s pace.

While it's true that you should act like you're asking for a favor when you need it, Chen Luo's behavior is too inconsistent!

"Does one have to be a Grand Guardian to sign a contract of this level?"

"of course."

"Alright, then I'll go find Cocolia." Chen Luo sighed.

“I’ve wanted to ask you this for a long time. What do you mean? Can you speak to my mother?” Bronya couldn’t help but ask.

You'll find out then.

From now on, we'll call each other our own names. You'll call me Dad, and I'll call you Sister.
