Chen Bao's face was tense, and the abacus beads were humming softly, clearly beginning to construct an evaluation model for "certified tribute." Second Bao, Su Heng, was sucking on his pacifier. Upon hearing the word "certified," he instinctively clung to his golden pacifier, his face filled with alarm. Third Bao, Su Yu, jumped up excitedly, "Yun Zhou! Fei Fei! Diu Diu!"
Lingbao was in Xiao Jue's arms, trying hard to pull out his curly hair. His little brows were furrowed, and he seemed very dissatisfied with the result that he couldn't pull it out. His little mouth pouted, and he was about to howl again.
**Section 2: Abacus Taxation and Pacifier Debunking Delusion**
The General's treasury was instantly filled with tribute artifacts from the four nations. A chilling ice crystal walker, a floating starry building block city, a symbiotic pacifier shimmering with poisonous light, a ritual and music enlightenment platform shimmering with spiritual light... Each one was priceless, emanating a powerful energy field and a desire for recognition.
"Chen'er," Su Li pointed at the glittering pile of trouble, "Settle the accounts! According to the regulations of the 'General's Mansion Special Items and Organisms Management Committee' (formerly the Pickle Jar Association), we'll collect 'tribute storage fees,' 'energy pollution fees,' and 'potential mental harassment fees!' Give them a sky-high bill!"
"Yes, Mother!" Chen Bao's eyes gleamed with shrewdness. His calculations were to be the most impartial (and ruthless) tax collector! A golden light shone brightly, and countless tiny threads of light connected to each tribute, frantically scanning its material, energy level, potential risks, and... its storage space utilization!
The abacus beads made a dense "crackling" sound, like the sound of abacus beads colliding. A series of golden virtual tax bills were generated above the tribute:
**【Beidi Bingpo Chaos Baby Walker Tax Invoice】**
* **Storage Fee (Excess Volume):** 1000 Rainbow Candies per day! **
* **Energy pollution fee (cold air corrodes the warehouse's spiritual wood shelves):** 500 rainbow candies per day!**
* **Mental harassment fee (Wolf Head continuously sends out authentication request thought waves): ** 2000 rainbow candies per day! **
**Total: 3,500 Rainbow Candies per day! Any outstanding payments will result in immediate Yunzhou expulsion! 】**
The wolf head on the ice crystal walker dimmed, as if choked by the high "rent".
**【Xiling Huanyu Military Deduction Building Block City Tax Invoice】**
* **Storage fee (suspended space): ** 1500 rainbow candies per day! **
* **Energy pollution fee (Star Iron Mother radiation interferes with the warehouse formation): ** 800 rainbow candies per day! **
* **Psychological harassment fee (the talisman array continuously sends interference waves for friend-or-foe identification): ** 2500 rainbow candies per day! **
**Total: 4,800 Rainbow Candies per day! Any outstanding balance will be immediately dismantled and recycled!**
The suspended building block city shook slightly, and the light dimmed slightly.
**【Nanjiang Wanling Symbiotic Pacifier Tax Invoice】**
* **Storage Fee (Crystal Cover Volume):** 800 Rainbow Candies per day! **
* **Energy pollution fee (the breath of the Gu King Jade attracts insects):** 1000 rainbow candies per day! (Note: 3 new cockroach nests have been discovered in the warehouse)**
* **Mental harassment fee (King of Concentric Gu continuously sends symbiotic connection requests): ** 3000 rainbow candies per day! **
**Total: 4800 Rainbow Candies per day! Those in arrears will be killed instantly (Gu Dao)! 】**
The light of the Gu King Jade in the crystal cover flashed rapidly a few times.
**【Donghuang Tiandao Liyue Enlightenment Taiwan Tax Invoice】**
* **Storage fee (volume and ritual space occupied by the Jade Platform): ** 2,000 rainbow candies per day! **
* **Energy pollution fee (excessive spiritual light causes other items in the warehouse to fade): ** 1200 rainbow candies per day! **
* **Mental harassment fee (the enlightenment channel continuously plays the certified brainwashing sound of the Heavenly Dao): ** 3500 rainbow candies per day! **
**Total: 6,700 Rainbow Candies per day! Those in arrears will be immediately thrown into the pickle jar as a pressure stone!**
The spiritual light on the Lingyu Platform instantly dimmed, as if it was frightened by the prospect of this "pressure stone".
The envoys from the four nations looked at the glittering golden tax bills atop their sacred artifacts, showing a huge profit (sugar) every day, and their faces turned green. They hadn't even gotten the certification yet, and already they were burdened with a massive debt?!
"Pay! Pay immediately! Otherwise, we will be punished according to the regulations!" Su Li's voice was firm.
The tribute envoys, with mournful faces, pulled out their prepared bags of rainbow candies (originally intended as a token of their appreciation) and, under the supervision of Chen Bao's abacus and Ah Luo's accounting, tremblingly paid the first day's "tax." The rich sweet aroma of rainbow candies filled the warehouse, diluting the various energy-rich auras of the tribute.
"The constant harassment from authentication requests is affecting His Highness Ling's ability to scratch his hair... uh... rest!" Xiao Jue looked at Erbao, "Heng'er, can a pacifier block out this 'noise'?"
Second child Su Heng immediately puffed out his chest, "Mm-hmm! Pacifier... be quiet! You naughty boy... don't bother your sister!" He held the golden pacifier in his mouth, his face trying to look fierce (or more like cute). The pacifier, sensing its little master's determination to protect his sister, suddenly erupted with a gentle golden light, yet imbued with powerful shielding power! The golden light spread like waves, enveloping the entire warehouse!
**[Golden Pacifier Function Upgrade: Tribute Aura Shielding Mode Activated! 】**
All the tributes' authentication request thought waves, mental connection signals, and brainwashing sound waves... the moment they came into contact with this golden force field, they vanished without a trace, like a drop in the ocean! The Ice Crystal Wolf's eyes grew dull, the building block array stopped flickering, the Gu King Jade fell silent, and the brainwashing music abruptly ceased! The entire warehouse was instantly silent!
