Chapter 498 Li Fansi breaks the deadlock
Li Fan couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
Seeing that the details on the list sent by the fat man Zhou Kebao were so different before and after, Li Fan put away the idea of pretending to have an outburst and calmed down for the time being.
A slight adjustment can result in a 50 percent deviation in quantity.
This only shows that the actual number of lists is much larger than the one in his hand.
Although there are some corruption and embezzlement happening in the League of Ten Thousand Immortals nowadays, everyone at least knows how to pretend and cover it up on the surface.
It wouldn't be so blatant, it's so cruel!
Rebuilding a state fairy city is such a big thing, and Zhou Kebao took kickbacks in front of Li Fan, the acting island owner, without any concealment, and swallowed up such a large amount of materials...
There is only one explanation, that is, the group of people who are secretly making trouble are targeting him, Li Fan.
Yes, the process by which he became the acting island owner may indeed be legal and compliant.
But this does not prevent some people with ulterior motives from taking advantage of the news and launching conspiracy.
Maybe it was for Li Fan, or maybe it was for Li Fan's huge contribution.
So far in this life, Li Fan has not deliberately concealed his actions of hyping up Puxian Zhenye and gathering the contributions of other cultivators for reinvestment.
Except for transactions with the empire, every other transaction can be documented.
You don't need to be very precise, just a rough calculation will give you an idea of how astonishing the amount of contribution Li Fan currently has.
People are attracted by interests, so it is normal for him to be targeted.
In addition to interests, there is also hatred.
Tan Taican, who had suffered losses in the previous hype of Puxian Zhenye, might also add fuel to the fire in this process.
When doing things, one should always plan carefully before taking action. Li Fan's thoughts raced through his mind, and his eyes swept back and forth on the list again.
Not long after, he nodded slightly and put the list away solemnly.
At the same time, he pretended to ask casually: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, besides this detailed list, do you have anything else to give me?"
"It's gone, it's gone." Zhou Kebao smiled and shook his head repeatedly.
Seeing this, Li Fan snorted in his heart.
But he didn't argue with him for the time being, and just cupped his hands: "Rebuilding the Immortal City is a matter of great importance. It involves many aspects, and it can be said that there are a thousand things to deal with. I still need to sort out the specifics of how to do it."
Li Fan pondered for a moment and pretended to think.
Then he said, "Well, I'll go make some preparations first. I'll contact Brother Zhou again when the construction officially starts!"
Zhou Kebao patted his chest and agreed readily: "No problem! Island Master Li, please feel free to ask for anything. I will fully cooperate and will definitely complete the task assigned by Master Jinglun properly."
Li Fan did not agree, but just stared at Zhou Kebao with cold eyes for a while.
Then he turned around and flew away from the Dust-Breaking Boat in the sky.
Watching Li Fan's gradually disappearing back, Zhou Kebao's smile slowly faded, his eyes filled with disdain and ridicule.
"Let's see how you end up in half a year..." With a cold snort, he took out a communication talisman and contacted someone unknown, transmitting all that had happened here.
Zhou Kebao, who thought he had Li Fan firmly in his grasp and was sure of victory, never imagined that his every move was locked onto by the perspective of the world with no form of murderous intent, and was under Li Fan's surveillance.
"There is indeed a ghost..."
"It seems that I can no longer count on the help from the First Jinglun. If I want to rebuild the Immortal City, I must rely on the people under my control as the main force..."
Li Fan returned to the Shenhua Island and felt relieved when he saw Tianyang standing there blankly, staring at the children who had left the world.
"With Tianyang, who has the power of a spirit, in charge, at least it will be no problem to deter a group of scoundrels."
"But, it's not enough..."
Li Fan took out a glittering jade token with the word "Wan" engraved on it and sensed it carefully.
It was the island owner's token that was handed to him together with the appointment letter of acting island owner.
In addition to being a symbol of the island owner's identity, his greatest use is that he can be used to check and contact all the monks in the system under his jurisdiction.
A huge network of interpersonal relationships suddenly emerged in Li Fan's mind.
The one at the top is naturally Li Fan.
Below, according to the different departments they belong to, they are divided into the Strategy Hall, Martial Arts Hall, Tianji Hall, as well as the garrisons of various islands, external staff of various departments, etc.
Each node represents a monk.
By focusing your mind on a single node, you can view brief information about the corresponding monk and contact him directly.
"It turns out that there are so many monks in the system that Cong Yunhai belongs to..."
Li Fan couldn't help but marvel at it.
In addition to common positions, there are also some strange and weird positions that you have never heard of.
For example, [Feedback Collection Specialist of the Monks of Cong Yunhai of the Ten Thousand Immortals League], [Liaison Officer of Shilinzhou in Cong Yunhai], [Earth Vein Supervisor], etc.
Faces appeared one after another.
Li Fan had seen many of these people before. He originally thought they were just ordinary casual cultivators, but he didn't expect them to have the identity of cultivators within the system.
The nodes of most of the monks have become dim, which means that they have either fallen or are out of contact.
However, the number of monks still alive is still very considerable.
"It seems that if we want to rebuild the Immortal City, the main force must be selected from this group."
"But the quality of the people is mixed, and I am just an acquaintance with them. How can I choose the right person?"
Li Fan frowned and excluded those monks who had been captured by the Five Elders.
Among the remaining monks, he looked through them carefully.
Suddenly, his gaze stopped on one of the monks.
"Hey, he is..."
Li Fan immediately came up with an idea.
——
Congyunhai, in an unknown secret cave.
Gao Yuan, who was in seclusion, suddenly woke up from a nightmare.
On that day, the Five Elders raided Cong Yunhai and forcibly abducted Wanxian Island, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of monks.
Gao Yuan happened to be out on business and luckily avoided the disaster.
However, the horrific situation of the monk he saw from afar has been lingering in his mind ever since and has become his inner demon.
"I didn't expect the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to be so despicable that they didn't even say anything when a state immortal city was abducted."
"Instead, they blocked off Cong Yunhai first and took it out on their own people."
"I have been guarding the gate of the Chief Administration Hall diligently for decades..."
"Why not vote for the Five Elders Association..."
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Gao Yuan couldn't help but think so.
At this moment, the communication talisman within the system, which he thought would never be contacted again, suddenly lit up.
Gao Yuan's heart beat faster suddenly, thinking that his intention to collude with the enemy and defect had been discovered so quickly by his superiors.
After he nervously picked up the talisman and examined it carefully, an inexplicable look appeared on his face.
"Acting island owner, Li Fan?"
