Chapter 499 The Taste of Power
Li Fan briefly explained to him the matter of rebuilding Congyunhai Fairy City and invited him to meet him.
His tone was cordial, without any airs of an island owner.
This made Gao Yuan feel flattered.
Gao Yuan, who has worked hard on Wanxian Island for most of his life, knows that these so-called "acting" and "deputy" are often more difficult to deal with than those who are formally appointed.
Although he didn't know why this famous monk from the Tianji Sect chose him.
However, he is currently his top superior and he cannot be neglected.
Gao Yuan quickly packed up and rushed to the place agreed upon by both parties.
As for defection...
That's just pure complaining.
It is impossible for him to defect, not to mention that the risk is so high. After all, Gao Yuan is a member of the system in the Ten Thousand Immortals League.
If he really defected to the Five Elders Association, would he be able to live a better life than he does now since he has no special skills?
I am afraid that once the valuable information in the brain is drained away, it will be thrown aside and ignored from then on.
He's not that stupid.
Gao Yuan suppressed the messy thoughts in his mind and pondered on the reason why the new acting island owner wanted to meet him while he was on his way.
After a long time, he finally arrived at the meeting place.
Taian Island.
The island protection formation opened, revealing a passage, and Gao Yuan flew into the formation.
As far as the eye can see, the acting island owner Li Fan is sitting in the front.
However, Zhou Qingang, the garrison commander of Tai'an Island, stood aside stiffly, sweating profusely and looking extremely nervous.
The two seemed to be talking about some sensitive topic, but when they saw Gao Yuan coming, they suddenly stopped.
Seeing this scene, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
The garrison commander of Tai'an Island is one level higher than himself in terms of job rank.
He actually behaved so out of control in front of Li Fan. It seems that this ancient Tianji monk is not so easy to deal with.
Gao Yuan, who had seen countless people, immediately raised his guard and stepped forward, bowing and saluting.
"Meet the island owner!"
"You're here." Li Fan looked at Gao Yuan and gave a kind smile.
"Do you know why I asked you to come here?" Li Fan asked.
Gao Yuan grumbled in his heart, but said quickly: "I don't know."
"I heard that you were standing guard at the gate of the Governor's Hall before?" After a moment's silence, when Gao Yuan felt a little uneasy, Li Fan asked.
"That's right, Island Master." Although Gao Yuan knew that the other party was asking a question he already knew the answer to, he still answered respectfully.
"How long have you been employed?"
"More than ninety-eight years."
"A hundred years have passed in a flash. You've worked hard..."
"You have been working here for a hundred years and have never been transferred to another position. Do you ever feel any complaints?"
"I dare not." Gao Yuan's heart tightened and he quickly shook his head to show his loyalty.
"very good."
Li Fan nodded and praised, then turned to the main topic.
"Every time a monk joins the system, he needs to pass the test of the White Jade Questioning Platform in the Governor's Hall. He also has to go to the Governor's Hall from time to time for daily affairs. I believe you have some understanding of the monks in Cong Yunhai's system, right?" Li Fan asked.
"Island Master, I dare not say big words. But I still know the basic information." Gao Yuan raised his head slightly, looked at Li Fan, and then added: "At the very least, people cannot admit their mistakes. In addition, which people have good tempers, which people have backers and backgrounds and cannot be offended, these are all things that I want to understand."
"In our line of work, we have a low status. If we don't have good eyesight and offend someone we shouldn't offend, there will be no good consequences."
"Well, come and help me see which ones among these monks are useful!" Li Fan ignored the complaints in Gao Yuan's words, but waved his hand, and suddenly, a dense crowd of monks' portraits like stars appeared in front of Gao Yuan.
"Someone who can be used?" Gao Yuan was stunned at first.
However, thinking about what the island owner had mentioned to him before, about the great cause of rebuilding the fairy city, his heart suddenly began to pound.
"You also know that I just woke up not long ago and am not very familiar with the people and things in Congyunhai." Li Fan said quietly in front.
"I was very nervous when I suddenly took on this important task, fearing that I would mess it up."
"As the saying goes, if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. If you want to successfully complete this task, you need to form a strong team."
"Since you know a little bit about them, why don't you help me with some advice?"
"When the foundation of the immortal city is laid in the future, your contribution will definitely not be forgotten!"
Gao Yuan felt his throat go dry when he heard this.
Looking at the monks who he had to greet carefully in the past, they are now in front of him and he can still choose them.
In the past, I could only look up to them, but now, I can easily decide their fate.
As long as he said a few words, they would join the new island owner's team to achieve great things.
…
“Is this what power feels like?”
His heart suddenly started beating violently.
His face turned red, and Gao Yuan, with his heart pounding, couldn't help feeling a little dizzy.
However, he was not blinded by the false glory.
He knew clearly that the little "power" he currently held was given to him by the Island Master Li in front of him.
Before Congyun Fairy City was built, all of these were castles in the air. They looked beautiful, but if there was any mistake, they would collapse and cease to exist.
but……
If the fairy city is successfully built, power will have the opportunity to become real.
The feeling of being able to manipulate one's destiny at will is so wonderful that Gao Yuan, who has just experienced it, cannot stop.
So he secretly vowed in his heart that he must do his best to seize this rare opportunity and complete the transformation of his life and career.
Then, according to the list of monks, they were introduced to Li Fan in detail one by one.
Time passes slowly.
Li Fan listened to Gao Yuan's story patiently, and was surprised and delighted.
The ability of this gatekeeper monk, whom he had encountered by chance when he joined the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance in his previous life, was far beyond his expectations.
He could not help but know the basic information of each monk, and even had some knowledge of their temperaments and the complex relationships that might exist behind them.
"We really found a treasure."
As Gao Yuan gave a detailed introduction, Li Fan became more and more satisfied with him.
"Little people also have their uses."
"That's where I can take advantage of the opportunity to break through."
Li Fan selected suitable monks one by one and kept them in mind.
…
Half a month later.
All the surviving monks in Cong Yunhai's system received the message from the acting island master.
Seven days later, a ceremony to rebuild Congyun Fairy City will be held at the original location of Wanxian Island.
All persons must attend on time.
