What? Before Shi Jiu could even process his emotions, he was immediately blown away by the system notification sound. Wasn’t there still tens of thousands of them just now?

She looked carefully and found that people from another city had just arrived today. The self-service membership machines had been installed along with the other devices. Most people had cards, but they only started renting houses after arriving here, so the population had skyrocketed.

She looked at the upgrade rewards curiously. The previous rewards were all related to the facilities and equipment in the town, but now that she had upgraded to the highest level, there were none. Simple is the best way?

There was only a large lottery disc waiting for her. She looked at the golden disc, but nothing was revealed behind it.

"001, what's in here?" Shi Jiu poked 001 beside him, but unfortunately 001 didn't know either.

"Host, I don't have the authority to know this." 001 said helplessly. This thing called the Initial Hotel and the Ultimate Town was also something it drew from the headquarters as an auxiliary prop to complete its mission. In fact, it didn't know the specific details, so it went underground in the early stage to deal with other more difficult problems.

Shi Jiu didn't get the answer from 001, so he pinched his fingers, prayed for his luck in his heart, and pressed it directly.

The big shiny turntable began to spin, and then under Shi Jiu's nervous gaze and 001's curious eyes, it slowly turned to a certain place, and then fireworks exploded.

[Congratulations to the host, you have gained invincible defense once, which lasts for fifteen seconds, during which you can move.]

"Invincible defense? There's a time limit, this doesn't seem as good as the invincibility aura you gave me, 001?"

Such a reward is not new and really doesn't arouse her interest.

001 was seriously checking the rewards produced by the system without saying a word. The defense and attack power similar to the invincible halo were actually formed by 001 himself using energy in private, and obviously could not be compared with the orthodox product in front of him.

"Host, this is still very useful. If there is any danger, you must remember to summon it out as soon as possible." But 001 couldn't say too much, so he could only remind Shi Jiu from the side.

Shi Jiu thought of Chang Gu from before, and now when he heard 001's serious voice, he also took this matter seriously.

When Shi Jiu was looking at the reward, the town was undergoing an upgrade. This time, the system did not ask Shi Jiu to come, but upgraded it directly. The sign at the door was also officially changed to "Sifang City".

The people in the town... no, now I should say the people in the city saw the changes with their own eyes, and instead of feeling a bit of fear, they felt happy.

After all, the house has been upgraded and the scope has been expanded, so the place to live is getting bigger and bigger, and they don’t have to worry about housing problems. It also proves from the side that the boss is capable and can ensure that their lives are not affected by the temperature outside.

People from outside happened to see the town transformed into a city, which completely subverted their imagination. They all stood there and watched the upgrade completed, and excitedly described the scene to others on their mobile phones.

The upgrade of Sifang City had no impact on their living conditions. After all, at least the area was expanded, but the specific layout remained unchanged.

Shi Jiu simply added a lot of houses in the blank space, set up the streets, put a lot of shops up for rent, and continued to set up roads and traffic lights, etc., and an area appeared again.

Watching the area slowly fill up with people, more and more people were living there, and she felt a sense of satisfaction. She looked at the situation on the map and saw that many people were on their way, but because the journey was long, they were still on the road.

Just as she was watching the endless stream of people outside the window, Qin Lou came upstairs with a plate of sliced ​​chilled fruit.

Shi Jiu, who was promoted to the city lord, was in a daze at this moment. After dealing with the matters after the promotion, she picked up the things she had not finished thinking about before, which were related to the man in front of her.

"Would you like some fruit?" Qin Lou walked closer and placed the fruit plate in front of her.

Shi Jiu felt very torn at this moment. His consciousness was clear and he could even think about many problems, but his body was in a daze.

"good."

Although she responded with her mouth, her body did not move at all, and her eyes were still staring blankly ahead.

Qin Lou looked at her and wanted to tease her, so he handed a piece of watermelon directly to her mouth.

She bit it subconsciously, and the next second, her consciousness returned to her body, and she instantly took the watermelon and ate it herself.

"Oh, thank you." She finished eating the watermelon silently, looking at Qin Lou who was sitting on the side with a cold temperament. Thinking of everything that had happened before, she suddenly had an idea.

"Xiao Qin, why do I feel weird?" She stared straight at Qin Lou's face, but Qin Lou just handed her another piece of fruit and smiled slightly. His originally cold face instantly became gentle.

"What's strange about that, Boss?" He was no longer as cold and aloof as he was when he first came here. He looked more down-to-earth.

001, which was hiding quietly, was flashing colorful light, trying to record the scene between the silly host and the big devil, which could be regarded as a memory of its mission. Who knew that when its memory was about to run and it was laughing proudly, it was glared at by Qin Lou.

Ah! He discovered me, maybe he knows something!

001 bent down its branches listlessly, even retracting the light on its body. This was really bullying the system!

Shi Jiu naturally didn't notice the confrontation between one person and one system. She took the fruit again but didn't eat it. Looking at the bright red watermelon in her hand, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"But..." Shi Jiu looked up at Qin Lou. From a close distance, she could even feel that Qin Lou was happy at the moment.

Complex emotions instantly filled her heart. Holding the cold watermelon in her hand, the coolness climbed up her fingertips into her heart.

Qin Lou looked at Shi Jiu who seemed to be struggling to say something, and began to laugh at himself in his heart. As expected... was he too anxious?

"So..." Qin Lou was about to say something when 001, who had been hiding on the side, finally received the news from the headquarters. He took a look and saw that something was wrong.

"Ahhhh, something bad has happened to the host!" 001 didn't have time to jump out and let out a sharp scream directly in Shi Jiu's mind.

"Ah!" Shi Jiu's forehead hurt from the sudden sound, and he subconsciously touched his temples. "What's the big deal?"

"That person is indeed problematic. Headquarters sent a message saying that the culprit who caused all this to happen has infiltrated the apocalypse. That's why I can't find out the problem because his strength is about the same as mine."

001 was furious. It was almost completing the mission, but now it discovered the mastermind behind it!

"The culprit?!" Shi Jiu immediately stood up, "Qin Lou, where is Chang Gu now?"

Qin Lou's words were interrupted, and he took the tablet. "I saw him this morning. I think he went to the small dark room. Now... is he still near the small dark room?"

"What does he want to do?!" Shi Jiu grabbed the tablet and saw that the marked point was right next to the small dark room. She quickly checked the status of the small dark room and found that nothing was wrong.

"It's okay..." Before she could relax, the alarm on her tablet sounded.

[Beep! Beep! Beep! The small dark room has been attacked by an unknown entity, activating autonomous defense mode. Host, please go and handle it.]

"What on earth does he want to do?!" Shi Jiu couldn't understand. Was he going to let everyone out? She hadn't forgotten how they had almost been killed when they went to question someone before. How could this guy be so kind?

"I've seen the previous methods. Maybe it was really this guy who did it. Host, come over here quickly. I want to teach him a lesson!" 001 was also very angry. There was actually a traitor in their Spacetime Management Bureau!

It was only after receiving a message from headquarters that it realized how serious the incident was.

The two of them rushed to the small dark room as quickly as possible, and sure enough, they saw Chang Gu standing next to it. At this moment, he still looked like an honest man as before, and he even stepped forward to say hello when he saw Shi Jiu coming.

"Boss, long time no see!" Chang Gu had a simple smile on his face, which made Shi Jiu's scalp tingle. Is this guy really the same person as the previous leader of City F?

"Are you the man in black from before?" Qin Lou noticed something was wrong from the side. There was nothing wrong with his appearance, but his aura gave it away.

Chang Gu looked at Qin Lou in surprise. He wasn't worried about being exposed at all. He nodded in agreement, "I didn't expect you to figure it out. But now, do you know what I'm going to do?"

He pointed to the small dark room beside him and said, "There are quite a few of my capable subordinates in here. I didn't expect you to lock them up. I wonder if it's possible to ask you for them?"

Shi Jiu looked at the almost unchanging smile on his face, and felt a chill down his spine. "You were the one who sent out the jerky before, right? What good will that do you?!"

"Benefits?! There are so many, it's a pity that you intercepted me midway, and my plan failed!"

Speaking of this, he stared at Shi Jiu with a vicious look. He didn't expect that the dried meat he had worked so hard to make, as well as his other plans, would be ruined by this woman.

"I don't want to do anything today. Return the people inside to me and we'll write off the account. Otherwise..." A light flashed on Chang Gu's hand, and the rich wood-type power was about to attack the small dark room in the next second.

"You!" Shi Jiu was a little worried about the safety of the small dark room when he saw this situation.

"Don't worry, host. The small dark room won't be broken into so easily. Capture this guy first!" 001 reminded him in his mind that even if he was at the same level as him, the props would not be destroyed so easily.

Shi Jiu gave Qin Lou a look, and Qin Lou immediately understood. A white light flashed in his hand, and the means of fixing space appeared on him again.

Chang Gu was not surprised and snorted coldly, "It seems that you don't want this place so much!" The energy in his hand was first swung out and hit the black house.

But to his surprise, the small dark room remained unchanged. "How could this happen? 001's power is clearly..." He said it was very weak, so how could he be fine?!

"001! This guy knows you!" Shi Jiu heard his mumbling and told 001 in surprise.

"Host, this guy must be the one sent by the mastermind behind the scenes to cause trouble! Catch him now!" 001 shouted. It was going to deal with this guy and hand him over to the headquarters. It could also get a lot of points by recovering the traitor!

"You are lucky this time. We will meet again!" Chang Gu no longer insisted, sneered, and disappeared from their sight.

"My space can't restrain his teleportation, but this time I have set up tracking and positioning." Qin Lou was not surprised to see him running away. He had seen his escape skills last time and there was no way to trap him.

"It's okay, it's fine now." Shi Jiu walked to the side of the small dark room. Is the person inside so worthy of him exposing his identity?
