Chapter 57 (Bonus Chapter with 3k Nutrient Solution) Special Dispatch...

After Mingsong received Yan Shi's agreement, he immediately deflated.

She straightened her clothes with trembling hands, then got up from the ground and stood in front of Gu Feng.

"Director Gu, this is Ming Song. I will follow your instructions."

Gu Feng had calmed down and nodded, saying in a deep voice, "We're going to Lingkong City now."

Before they had taken more than a few steps, Director Yan's voice came from behind, "The General Administration's Finance Department will not provide any additional reimbursement for the Lingkong City branch this year."

Ming Song turned around and respectfully said, "Lingkong City received."

As for where the money to rebuild the Lingkong City branch and appease the people in the city would come from, Yan Shi didn't mention it, and Ming Song didn't ask either.

Gu Feng's squad is one of the strongest in the entire bureau. Yan Shi transferred this squad directly to Lingkong Town to deal with the situation, along with Ming Song, with the main strategy being to first be polite and then use force.

The various families of Lingkong City will eventually have to pay the price for their greed.

Yan Shi mentally gave herself a thumbs up. Great, she wouldn't have to get reimbursed for damaging public property.

She was unfairly taken advantage of.

She continued to pretend to be calm as she flipped through the ledger, feeling as if she no longer recognized the numbers.

Are the units in the ledger actually cash and not cryptocurrency?

A virtual currency that is worth one hundred times more than real money.

The offline physical transaction system in the Otherworld is very diverse. Apart from electronic transfer, which is the official currency system stipulated by the Bureau of Otherworldly Affairs, the Eastern Human Race mostly uses spirit stones for settlement.

One spirit stone is worth ten yuan, and one spirit essence is worth one hundred yuan.

The vast majority of transactions on this ledger involve spirit essence, spirit essence ore, and various priceless spirit artifacts and materials.

Yan Shi even saw a small floating fortress.

This is a very rare product combining spiritual artifacts and alchemical products. Normally it is compressed into a small alloy ball, but when a large amount of spiritual energy is inputted into it and it is thrown out, it can stand alone as a town.

Surprisingly, the special grants allocated to the Ju'e Plain were not even the largest amount of revenue received here.

Yan Shi: His hand trembled slightly.

These families are all very wealthy; she's probably not the only poor person in the underworld.

They're already so rich, yet they still need a special grant.

Big families are really annoying.

The special appropriations from the Financial Services Department each year generally fluctuate around 100 million, with a difference of no more than 20 million.

Because Cero City is orc territory, considered a fantasy species settlement, and the Finance Department's funding is drawn from the annual tax revenue settled by the human main city.

The funds were transferred directly from the major cities to Cero City, with only about 20 million funds involved in Lingkong City.

Actually, compared to the usual allowances of the major families in Lingkong City, 20 million is not much.

But they didn't give a single penny to the Jue Plain.

Yan Shi flipped through the pages, and the hall remained completely silent after she entered.

The families associated with Lingkong City outside the gate had already dispersed hastily after Yan Shi announced the new appointment at the Lingkong City branch.

They were probably rushing back to Lingkong City to discuss countermeasures in advance.

After flipping through the pages for a while, Yan Shi looked up at the door with a sharp gaze.

"Everyone's here, come in together."

After she finished speaking, she continued to look down at the ledger. After a while, two groups of people walked in one after another and stood in the hall waiting.

Director Yan seemed to have finally finished reviewing the accounts, his expression darkening further. He looked at Duan Yunchen and said, "Let's open a meeting room."

Duan Yunchen was busy admiring the tense but different micro-expressions on the faces of the two groups of people who walked in when he was suddenly called upon. He paused for a moment, then jumped down from the table: "Okay, Director Yan, this way please."

She led Yanshi up to the second floor.

The walls that were damaged by Yan Shi Lai Shun's illegal demolition have been restored to their original state, with no trace of the fight visible.

Duan Yunchen led Yan Shi into a room in the middle of the second floor.

"Please sit down." Yan Shi sat down in the main seat and, unsurprisingly, saw that the leader of one of the groups was Shu Zhijing.

Two groups of people came in and sat down on either side of the long conference table.

"Director Yan," Shu Zhijing said first after they were seated, "Bai Yujing will make up the special allocation for the Shaojue Plain over the past nineteen years in one lump sum."

The leader, sitting on the other side of the long table, then spoke up, "Jinzhou is the same."

Yan Shi didn't speak, but Shu Zhijing, who was to his right, pushed a list towards him, saying, "This is Bai Yujing's apology gift."

"This is from Jinzhou." At the same time, the woman to Yan Shi's left pushed over a list.

Yan Shi didn't answer; she was just scrolling through the on-site video footage of the Ju'e Plain that Meng Shi had sent her on her phone.

shocking.

Shu Zhijing: "Director Yan. Baiyujing is not Lingkong City."

Being young and protected, she hadn't experienced many hardships. Shu Zhijing was already starting to feel anxious.

"Is this apology for the cubs of the Giant Jaw Plain, or for my strength?" Yan Shi looked up at them.

Both sides remained silent.

Apart from Yanju, no one would care about the cubs on the Giant E Plain.

Yan Shi took the two lists and stacked them on the ledger: "The General Administration's Finance Department will receive the special appropriation funds for the two cities' subsidies for the past nineteen years this week."

"As for the others, I treat them all the same. All those with video footage of bullying cubs on the Giant Jaw Plain have been listed and the General Administration's Execution Division will take control and arrest them later."

"The rest of you, we hope that the Cero City branch will see the support team you personally participated in outside the temporary shelter on the Giant Jaw Plain."

Compared to Lingkong City, the requirements aren't too demanding.

Shu Zhijing: "Yes."

Yan Shi picked up the lists and ledgers collected that day. "God said, go to headquarters."

Without even glancing at the others present, he tore open the world barrier and left.

From arriving at the scene and handling the situation to leaving, it took no more than an hour.

Having witnessed the entire spectacle, Duan Yunchen stretched and said, "Are you leaving or not? Don't linger in my branch office."

"Tsk, looking at it again won't change Director Yan's decision." Duan Yunchen shrugged. "We might as well go back and pack up sooner."

"Hurry up, hurry up." With that, she turned off the conference room lights. "I'm going home."

Shu Zhijing: ...

---

After entering the office, Yan Shi first looked around to make sure no one was there, then slumped into his office chair.

"My God, so much money!" She took out the list again to check the compensation amount.

Bai Yujing gave the General Administration two medium-sized spirit mines, ownership of a trade route controlled by Bai Yujing, two complete sets of large array flags, not to mention a number of spirit artifacts and materials.

Jinzhou also provided a large spirit mine, two trade routes, an ancient alchemy furnace, and a number of spiritual artifacts and materials.

It is estimated that the two cities have privately discussed the list of compensation amounts.

"This year's special grant has arrived too," Yan Shi muttered to himself. "A bumper harvest!"

Before she could even enjoy her happiness for a moment, an urgent message popped up on her phone.

It was the height of spring and autumn.

Shouldn't Sheng Chunqiu be in Emerald City right now, capturing the Mithril Merchants...?

Yan Shi thought uncertainly, then slowly sat up straight and connected to Sheng Chunqiu's emergency contact.

"Director Yan, we've been scammed by this smuggling ring." There was a rapid breathing sound on the other end of the phone.

“The Emerald City branch was just an empty shell. The enforcement team I brought was surrounded by both the Emerald City branch and the smuggling gang.”

Yan Shi's vision went black.

She knew that the Mithril Merchant Guild was not that simple.

"Where are you now?" Yan Shi asked.

Sheng Chunqiu: "I just led my team to break through Emerald City."

Yan Shi: "I am now locating you on the system."

As he spoke, Yan Shi opened the internal map of the Execution Department and found Sheng Chunqiu.

A small black dot moved rapidly outside Emerald City, followed by several blue dots.

There was a large cluster of red dots not far away.

The situation is very tricky.

Yan Shi sighed, then suddenly realized that the location markers on the alchemical items she had previously sold to Liu Guang were not far from where Sheng Chunqiu was currently moving.

She, Sheng Chunqiu, and others, along with the pursuers behind her, were in a triangular position.

Yan Shi's eyes lit up. "Go in the southwest direction at 30 degrees."

Sheng Chunqiu did not ask why, but the small black dot on the map, along with the small blue dot, suddenly changed direction.

While keeping an eye on Sheng Chunqiu's progress, Yan Shi also dug out Master Meng's name from the spiritual messages.

[Yan: Are you satisfied with the Ju'e Plain's handling of the matter by the Bureau of Foreign Affairs?]

[Mencius: What do you want?]

[Yan: This year's special grant will be directly sent to Cero City this week; the Free Alliance will no longer be needed to handle it.]

[Yan: I want to make a deal with you directly. The Free Alliance will use the Mithril Merchant Guild to establish a stable trade with the main city. There must be people from your group in the Mithril Merchant Guild, right?]

[Yan: Arrange for your men to meet the three people; they'll be there shortly. Afterwards, the Bureau of Extraterritorial Affairs will handle the Mithril Merchant Guild according to regulations.]

[Master Meng: ...You really do know everything. Deal. I hope the Bureau of Extraterritorial Affairs' handling of the Mithril Merchant Guild according to regulations won't be too late.]

Sheng Chunqiu had already approached the location of the alchemical items marked by Yan Shi when the black and blue dots slowed down and were brought into the city.

The large group of red dots behind them lost their way and began to search scattered outside the city.

Master Meng indeed kept his word.

Yan Shi had a suspicion when he made the agreement with Wei Ning on the law. Even though she insisted on an 82% split, the Mithril Merchant Guild still agreed, and Guan Yunji implied that it was a reasonable price.

This illustrates the astonishing profits involved in contraband.

So, even though Meng Shi, who was the source of the contraband, desperately needed money, he was still forced to give up huge profits.

Because he lacked his own trade routes and was pressured by the Mithril Merchant Guild, and had a huge need for funds, Master Meng had no choice but to accept unequal transactions.

She naturally disliked the Bureau of Eccentricity and couldn't possibly like the Mithril Company.

If these two sides were to fight, Master Meng would certainly not hesitate to offer even a small amount of help.

How come everyone in the world has insiders, but their Bureau of Evil has no insiders at all, and they're exposed like a sieve?

Yan Shi shed tears.
