Chapter 170 The fireworks display is about to begin! (?) Transition...

"Strange, he's not injured, why does he look like this... Could it be that he was bullied?"

Zai Zhe pinched his chin and walked around the black-haired boy who was lying on another table. He looked at the back of his head which showed no reaction and not even a hair moved, and his tone contained an uncontrollable smile.

Cui Zhiyong lifted a chair to cover his upper body, and carefully poked the motionless boy on the table through the gap, refuting Zaizhe's words, "If this guy was bullied, he would definitely fight on the spot. He would not run back here whining and pretending to be dead. He looks like he can't win and can't fight back. Yunyan, you are not besieged by a group of naughty kids and you haven't won yet, right?"

Zhang Chun sat at the table, pinching the boy's right wrist that he had deliberately stretched out to him, and rubbing it, and sighed: "This is unlikely. Yun Yan would beat a child, and he is only less than three months old. This reaction is a bit like..."

He paused, and said hesitantly: "Yun Yan, have you ever been near the Lake of Life?"

The boy on the table moved a little and uttered a puzzled hum.

After Zai Zhe turned around a few times, he touched his chin and raised his eyebrows and said, "I still think this guy has been bullied. Yun Yan, tell me who the bad guy is, and I'll help you put on the sack!"

Cui Zhiyong was a little slow to react, and after realizing it, he looked at Zhang Chun in shock and said, "No, it's already this big, are you still thinking about that weird age calculation method?"

Zhang Chun continued calmly, "There is a banquet tonight. Yunyan, don't go around the lake first. We are still preparing. If you go now to join in the fun, there will be no surprises tonight."

The system couldn't help but interrupt: [How come these guys are talking to each other? They are not on the same channel at all? And they chat for nearly half an hour? ]

Chu Xiuyan had been in a half-dead, soul-out-of-body state since the book signing ended. He was not able to fully recover even after returning to the Blood Crystal World. It was not until he rushed around to vent his energy and collapsed in this office that he slowly returned to his normal state.

【Resurrection!!】

He rolled to his feet and sat cross-legged on the table. He first looked at Cui Zhiyong, who was using the table to block his view and acting sneaky, in a strange way. He thought this was some kind of performance art. He didn't understand it, but he respected it.

Then he turned to Zaizhe and said, "I wasn't bullied, but you don't have to throw away your sack. I'll ask you to join me in a fight next time."

Zai Zhe: “…Hmm?”

Chu Xiuyan turned his head to look at Zhang Chun again, pretending to wipe the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes, "Uncle, you don't know how tired I have been recently. It feels like a century has passed. Am I okay? I missed you guys? Wait, am I okay? It seems like you didn't see uncle's Unit 2. Could it be that this person is an illusion…"

He jumped off the table and rushed towards Zhang Chun who was sitting on the chair.

Zhang Chun's expression changed, and he spoke subconsciously? "Wait——"

There was a slight clicking sound.

All four legs of the chair were broken, and Zhang Chun, who was sitting on the tattered chair, and Chu Xiuyan, who rushed over, both fell to the ground.

This time it was Zai Zhe's turn to sigh slowly: "This chair is also broken, but it can be sat on. Just don't push too hard..."

Cui Zhiyong: “Pfft.”

…

Chu Xiuyan was still a little dazed when he walked out of the office full of broken tables and chairs. He checked most of the tables and chairs, and found that half of them were good and half were bad. He felt embarrassed and pitiful.

System: [In fact, there are many high-end tables and chairs in the upper city that no one has claimed, but because of their high prices, they have been stuffed into the reconstruction fund.]

Chu Xiuyan: [But the uncle is an earth-type mutant, why doesn't he build some tables and chairs by himself? ]

System: [Oh wow, you found a bug. ]

Chu Xiuyan thought about it, shook his head and sighed: "I really don't understand the world of adults..."

As soon as the words fell, a gentle voice came from the corner ahead.

"Cloud Flame?"

The person who appeared in front of him was the Knower. Compared to the first time they met, this gentle androgynous beauty looked a little haggard, and even the soft light filter was much lighter. The hair that originally covered the upper half of her face was pinned to the side with a cartoon hairpin, revealing a pair of light pink eyes that reflected Chu Xiuyan's figure with a hint of surprise.

Chu Xiuyan also opened his eyes wide, "Why do you look the same with bangs and without bangs?!"

The knower was stunned for a moment, then answered seriously: "Because I am the same person with bangs and without bangs."

The system said painfully: [Should I leave this joke alone? Just accept it, and keep the mysterious, gentle and unhuman setting, wise one.]

[Speaking of which, after the last time the Desert God left the kingdom, the presence of the Knights of the Order suddenly dropped to the lowest level.]

"It's been a while since we last met. When you went to fight the gods in the deadly place, we should have been with you. However," the wise man lightly covered his chest, and the smile on his face faded a little, "Let's not talk about this... Yunyan, did you just come out of the office?"

Chu Xiuyan nodded.

"They? Are they busy?"

Chu Xiuyan thought about how most of the people were struggling to repair the broken tables and chairs, and couldn't help coughing twice, and asked: "Do you need help? I'm free now, let's go? Let's go? Let's go!"

The man was pushed away from the office by the boy and said hesitantly: "But..."

The system suddenly said: [Ah, I found out. When you were preparing to fight the Desert God, the kingdom was in chaos. The first knight "Ming" died, and the Knower was on the verge of death. Bai Qiu used time and space to go back and save the Knower, but for unknown reasons, his consciousness collapsed and he only recovered recently. At that time, the Knights only had Wuji and the leader Bear who was once kidnapped by you. They barely led the remaining members of the Knights to maintain order in the middle and upper city districts. The lower city district was occupied by the rebels and the Hidden Lantern Society. The kingdom was falling apart internally, but it barely formed a unified whole. In other words, in order to ensure that you can kill the Desert God without any worries, they eliminated all internal hidden dangers, including some of the Desert God's fanatics, the Red Cult, those who didn't care about the interests of the Desert God and just wanted to re-elect a new king, and various riots that thought you had ulterior motives.]

Chu Xiuyan whispered "Wow", [Everyone is ok? Busy. ]

He thought about it and said, "I'm busy too!"

...busy at a book signing? Signing autographs.

He shook his right hand, which still seemed to be aching slightly.

After leaving the steel fortress located on the sand, the two followed the path they had opened to the Land of Death - to be more precise, after the death of the Desert God, the giant pit gushed out clear springs and turned into a clear lake, which is also called the Lake of Life by people today.

At this time, to the east of the Lake of Life, Nether City, Base No. 23, and a Kingdom Fortress a little further away, a total of three bases formed a temporary large settlement.

Many people want to build an above-ground base beside the Lake of Life, while others believe that the Lake of Life is a transformed land of the afterlife and is extremely dangerous, so they are extremely opposed to it.

“This is the first contradiction.”

The wise man sighed, "The second contradiction lies in the group of people who want to build a base by the Lake of Life. There are the violent and undisciplined rebels, the Knights who are used to thinking in terms of the interests of the ruling class, and the Hidden Lantern Society, which has the largest number of people. The three parties were originally in conflict with each other, and now after arguing for three days and just deciding on the reconstruction area, a new conflict has arisen. The Hidden Lantern Society wants a location in the west as the headquarters address, facing the sun, with good light, and a little further away from the former dead lake, which is safe. The Knights want to build their headquarters in the middle of the area, and it must be particularly conspicuous, but this is considered by the Hidden Lantern Society to block light, so they started arguing. The rebels don't care where the headquarters is built, but they think it is unlucky for the Knights to have their headquarters built in the middle of the new base, because no matter where the rebels build their headquarters, they will be very close to the Knights, so they also started arguing."

Chu Xiuyan felt his brain was sublimating: "Good? Like the land disputes among the aunts and uncles in the village, uncles? Are they mediators?"

The knower briefly described the situation on the scene, rubbed his eyebrows, and sighed: "To be precise, I went to ask Bishop Cui. He has the blood of the kingdom's ruler, and the Knights will obey his orders. Bishop Cui also has some connections with the Youdu resistance army, and they can't refute him. If both parties are willing to calm down and continue to communicate, the remaining Hidden Lantern Society will not take the initiative to provoke conflicts."

Chu Xiuyan frowned and thought seriously for a moment, then he successfully grasped the key meaning and said confidently: "Then I can do it too!"

The knower: “What?”

"I am the Lord of Youdu. The resistance army listens to me... and the uncle and the others."

——It refers to the result of forcibly attacking the city wall of Youdu by riding on crawlers and crashing down it.

"I am the son of prophecy. The Hidden Lantern Society was brought together because of the prophecy. They will listen to me. And I am the new gang leader of District 2 in the downtown area. Why hasn't anyone come to invite me to take over?"

——On the first night after arriving in the Kingdom, he defeated all the participants of the selection competition alone, but there was no news afterwards... Could it be that he was kicked out by the second district black gang because he was imprisoned? Damn it!

"I killed the King (last week) and the God of the Desert, and achieved a perfect ending. So I am the new King, and the Knights should listen to me!"

——Suddenly remembered? In the game he had played against Zhang Chun, he killed the king first, so he became the new king first.

"All three parties listened to me, that's reasonable!"

Chu Xiuyan walked out of the hidden corner in high spirits, seeing the uneven construction area, with carts filled with various construction materials placed on the ground, and some corners of the wall were still covered with sticky sand.

At this time, three groups of people were standing in the middle of the open field. The Knights in silver-white armor, the Hidden Lanterns in black cloaks, and the members of the resistance army in brown clothes that looked tattered but were actually very convenient for walking in the desert. The three of them were arguing with each other with red faces, and no one was willing to give in.

It was at this time that Chu Xiuyan came? Here?

"Everyone, be quiet and look at me! Look at me!"

No one paid any attention to him; there was still a lot of noise ahead.

Chu Xiuyan simply raised his hand and released the gray mist, and instantly there was a dead silence below.

He cleared his throat and said, "I, Yunyan, am the Lord of Nether City, the Son of Prophecy, and..."

Before he could finish his words, a deafening cheer suddenly sounded from the front.

"Black hair, black eyes, and a gray fog sweeping over! It's the Son of Prophecy!" The people from the Hidden Lantern Society rushed over.

"God Slayer! He's the young man who dealt the final blow to the Desert God!" The Knights rushed over? .

"The one riding on the Crawler that knocked us away? The devil at the gate of Youdu!" The rebels also rushed over? .

Chu Xiuyan was caught off guard and was lifted up by the group of people by his arms and legs and thrown high up.

"Wuhu! Higher! Fly higher! Wuhu! Speaking of that rebel, did someone take advantage of the chaos and call me a devil!?"

In short, with Chu Xiuyan's intervention, the Knights, the Hidden Lantern Society, and the resistance army successfully sat down and communicated about various tasks in a "friendly" manner. They worked very seriously, and no one was lazy or slacking off.

Chu Xiuyan touched the mist wolf lying on the ground next to him and yawned.

"It's been four hours. I can't sit still any longer... Did I forget something?"

The system went back to search the records: [No, if I forget it, it means it’s not important. ]

Chu Xiuyan thought so too.

At this time, Ming Ji, who was flying in the desert in the distance, looking for Chu Xiuyan, said frantically: "No, where did this guy go again!?"

Time passed by little by little, and the new base construction area seemed lively and peaceful, with a harmonious atmosphere, except for some provocative incidents in dark and remote corners where two or three parties would give each other the middle finger or curse at each other.

As dusk approached, a whoosh sound suddenly pierced the sky, and then a gorgeous firework bloomed in the sky before it was completely dark. Only a faint light spot could be seen, which instantly attracted the attention of the young man who was sitting high up in the eastern construction area to supervise the work.

He narrowed his eyes, turned his head and looked to the right, and vaguely heard a few faint curses coming from behind the warehouse not far away.

"Damn it, I let you do it. It's not even dark yet, it's too early!"

"Fuck, didn't you drag me here?!"

"Don't? Stop arguing? Arguing, first? Think of a way to fool the whole thing—"

Chu Xiuyan bit the candy in his mouth, remembering the "banquet" Zhang Chun mentioned during the day, and pretended to be unaware of it, retracting his gaze and turning to the construction area in front.

A few minutes later, someone shouted, "There's a damaged flare on the right. Who's counting the supplies? One of the flares in the warehouse has been used!"

Chu Xiuyan continued to eat candy while munching on it. He waited for the person who shouted "One flare has been used up" to deliberately run away from him. He looked left and right, and when no one was paying attention to him, he secretly jumped down from the high place and flashed directly to the warehouse on the right.

He turned into gray mist and slipped in. In the dim light, he saw boxes of flammable and explosive materials. He licked his lips immediately, and his eyes seemed to light up green...red.
