The expedition ship left Chaoxing at six o'clock in the afternoon on the seventh day.

Zhou Jiang was puzzled: "Don't we collect energy crystals?"

The expedition ship was the same as it was when it came, and there was not even a single stone in the cargo hold.

"Don't worry about these, go out and have a rest."

After kicking him out of the cab, Chen An was finally able to connect to the star network.

"Fuyao, immediately assign tasks to the passengers and have them disperse throughout the city. The task is to spend money shopping, and I will pay. This task is only open to extraordinary people above the sixth level, and the limit is 50,000 people."

"Also, have the city guards strengthen their defenses."

[Is the master returning? ]

"Back to the city in half an hour."

In the rest area on the ship, Zhou Jiang looked at the task he received with a look of surprise.

"Spending the boss's money to go shopping, and getting this kind of benefit?"

An Qiluo said helplessly: "I was slow and didn't get the task. How much is it?"

"One hundred Ryūpyeong, it's not much, but it's enough for a meal. It's my treat."

He also wanted to invite Chen An, but was rejected.

After sending the four of them to the street, Chen An drove the exploration ship to the City Lord's Mansion and became invisible at high altitude.

Optical invisibility is used just to make it invisible to the naked eye.

[Master, all missions have been accepted, and the passengers are scattered throughout the city.]

Chen An entered his office hall, sat comfortably in his chair and turned on his computer.

"No rush, I'll play games for a while. Call me at 6:55 and get Luoyu over."

Zicheng already had a gaming industry, but it was not well developed, and the gaming technology was not as advanced as that of trains.

Chen An played the shooting game for twenty minutes before Fu Yao reminded him that the time was up.

"Immediately issue temporary missions to all passengers. Have them patrol the area and kill any Shadow Men they find."

"There are only five minutes left. Even if Barron is being cautious, he has already sent his men out. There is no time to change the plan."

Chen An turned off the computer, walked onto the balcony, and watched the city gradually fall into darkness.

Darkness is the home turf of the Shadow Man.

[Master, there may not be enough passengers. It is recommended to send more people.]

"No, the more people there are, the more chaotic it will be, and it will be hard to control the situation. Is Luo Yu here?"

She's waiting outside

"Let her in."

Luo Yu did not come empty-handed. She had many red fruits hanging on her body, shaped like dragon fruits.

Chen An was startled and jumped up from his chair.

"You got it? It wasn't me."

Luo Yu said happily: "The fire lotus fruit is ripe, I brought some here, you can try it!"

It turns out that it is not the result of Luoyu.

Chen An took the fruit and took a bite. It was sweet and delicious, melting in his mouth. After entering his stomach, warm super energy dissipated and entered every part of his body.

"The Fire Lotus Tree grows so fast?"

"Because the super energy in the Glazed Continent is so abundant, it helps the Fire Lotus Trees to develop early. I plan to build a larger Fire Lotus Fruit Forest."

Chen An nodded: "Good idea, you can do whatever you want with the garden, I don't care. Oh, right, now help me predict what will happen in ten minutes, and I will be the main person."

“Easy, done in no time.”

The prophecy ended quickly, and Luo Yu said, "Ten minutes later, you will be standing on the balcony looking outside with a strange look in your eyes."

Chen An was surprised: "Shouldn't I go out?"

According to the plan, when the Shadow Man launched the attack, Chen An would go out to help, but the future did not go according to the plan.

Chen An waited patiently for a few minutes, only to find that no shadow man appeared anywhere in the city.

"Good, very good. Barron must have known I was on guard, so he either changed the plan or postponed it."

Luo Yu: "What should we do?"

"Don't ask me, I don't know what to do."

If the Master knows the solution, Barron might know it too, so the best strategy is to remain in the dark. They are engaged in a prophetic confrontation, and it depends on who can resist first.

Luo Yu was confused by what she heard, but it did not stop her from admiring Chen An.

In the City of Light, Barron was not very satisfied with the results of the prophecy.

"I didn't send out a team after half an hour?"

The prophet replied: "Indeed not."

Barron leaned back in his chair, his head dizzy and confused. After seven days of tossing and turning, he now didn't even know what he was thinking.

"Don't worry, just wait."

Half an hour later, he did not send out the attack team.

"Continue to prophesy for half an hour, have I sent out a team?"

He was gritting his teeth and his eyes were bloodshot.

Because his spiritual strings just happened to be in harmony with a powerful existence, he was in an extreme state on the verge of collapse.

The prophet replied, "You have sent out a force of eight thousand men."

Twenty-nine minutes later, Barron gave the order: "Mission canceled. Continue to predict the contents for me for another half hour."

The prophet also had a headache, but he could only bite the bullet and continue to predict: "You will restart the plan and send out the team in twenty-seven minutes."

At the same time, in the Glazed Tower of Zicheng, Chen An happily enjoyed Fei Yi's massage, while his mental strings were highly tense because of Niv's tossing.

But because he is a Star Walker, he can perfectly hide this mental shock.

"Luoyu, will there be any changes in the city in half an hour?"

Luo Yu shook her head: "Nothing has changed. Will they not come?"

Chen An said: "If I think they won't come, they might come. If I think they will come, they might not come. That bastard Barron is also constantly making predictions, trying to mislead me."

Fei Yi: "But brother, at worst we can just be on guard the whole time, we're not afraid whether he comes or not."

If the Master orders full defense, it means the future is set, and Barron can develop a targeted plan. Even if the defense is perfect, he will always find a loophole. But now is different. He is worried about one thing: we might counterattack.

Chen An added: "I've actually prepared a team as well. It's not hidden, but stationed not far from Guangming City. This team has no missions, and I can launch them at any time. They can invade Guangming City or intercept the other side's Shadow Man team. They're very flexible. Oh, I won't say much. Continue the massage. I'm going to take a nap first."

This went on until 11 o'clock in the evening, with only one hour left until the deadline.

Both Chen An and Baron asked the prophet to predict the list and got the same result.

"Purple City ranked fourth, and Bright City ranked thirty-ninth."

Chen An and Barron were satisfied with this result.

…

"But brother, we didn't seem to do anything, so why are we fourth?" Feiyi wondered.

Chen An broke the spiritual connection and said with a smile: "Of course I didn't do it. I will do a lot of things in the next hour. I just knew what I want to do."

He immediately gave Fuyao orders.

"Transport the four billion energy crystals stored in the City Lord's Mansion. Each citizen can receive two units."

"Issue an announcement immediately: all people will be exempt from tax for three months and will receive basic food subsidies."

“I promised them that after the city expands, everyone will be able to get a house at a low price.”

Fei Yi asked, "Why not give Liubi? Energy crystals seem more valuable."

Chen An: "There are too many energy crystals. It's good to consume some of them."

No matter in which world, throwing money around is always the best way to win over the lower classes.
