Chapter 95. The Reform Turmoil, Originating from...
Over the next two months, a great upheaval occurred throughout the entire City of Divine Favor. With the help of Lao Ewen:
Without showing any leniency, a group of employees who had no skills but were drawing salaries without working were eliminated;
More than a dozen evil forces were wiped out, and several small floating cities were liberated;
Deal with several notorious and domineering families who secretly colluded with the gods to control a large number of A-level secret realms.
A group of capable but suppressed followers and servants were promoted through examinations.
Based on Quan Zhi's proposal and Lloyd Evan's many years of experience, the following improvements were proposed: increasing the compensation for those working for God, revising the salary structure, and adjusting the organizational structure to be more reasonable…
Lin Xiaoxiao sat behind her desk in the law enforcement department office, holding an A4-sized document transfer device. She quickly scrolled through the documents on it, and by the end, her face had turned somewhat pale.
It was clearly written above:
{During the crackdown on underground forces in Donghe Floating City, several bodies of divine beings, their hearts hollowed out, blood drained, and barely recognizable as human, were found. Upon investigation, these were determined to be the remains of attendants and followers of the [Level Three Divine Possession - God of Calamity].}
{Within a certain family in the floating city of Nanyue, a group of non-human beings, chosen by the gods, were found being used for experiments…}
{Qi Mu Floating City...}
...Many cities had such testing sites, and thousands of people were harmed by these divine favored individuals.
Lin Xiaoxiao threw the transmitter in her hand onto the table, rubbing her temples in frustration. She hadn't expected that they would already be conducting experiments using divine favor at this point. Where were they at?
Lau Evan seemed a little puzzled by Lin Xiaoxiao's troubles: "Is there a problem?"
For thousands of years, not just in the capital of the gods, but also in the outside world and in secret realms, such experiments have never stopped. They have only moved from the open to the covert during repeated cleanups. But her reaction seems particularly uncomfortable? So, from now on, we won't let her see this kind of information anymore?
Lin Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, wondering how to analyze it: She knew that a few years later, that group of people would create a batch of humanoid war machines through experiments, with physical strength exceeding that of a ninth-level professional, but without any consciousness, without fear of pain, without fatigue, and controllable by designated objects.
After launching a battle for control of the City of the Gods, and destroying most of it, they finally seized control and began a plan to eliminate their proxies, inadvertently opening several entrances to the Abyss in the process...
Lin Xiaoxiao suppressed her agitation and suddenly seemed to remember something, asking in a low voice, "Lau Evan, all these years, haven't any other divine agents coveted the power to enforce the laws of the gods?"
Lau Evan quickly reviewed the documents in his hand, then casually handed them to Xiao Weizhi, indicating that he should continue with the next steps. His tone was very calm: "You can take out the Divine Favor Enforcement Management Order and look at the line of text written on the back."
A divinely favored law enforcement management order? What's so special about this token?
Lin Xiaoxiao took out the palm-sized black token with a special metallic sheen, flipped it over, and searched carefully, but found no writing on it.
Following Laueven's prompting, a little force was applied, and one of the patterns lit up. It was a six-pointed star symbol made of text, which, when viewed from left to right, read:
{Terms and Conditions Established by the Founders of the City of Divine Favor: This token is for the exclusive use of agents of the true gods and those not favored by the gods; violators will be subject to…}
So it's not that they didn't covet it, but that they tried and failed?
No wonder that in the history of the City of Divine Favor over the years, all the acting law enforcement and management leaders have been ordinary professionals, not those favored by the gods.
Lauevin tapped the table with his pen; the metal made a slight sound as it touched the wood.
His tone clearly showed his dissatisfaction: "Lin, your and Xiao's levels are too low right now. Also, is your divine seed ready? You should also hurry up and build up your team of divine favor."
“My manpower is insufficient to support the completion of your and your little elf’s ‘reform’ plan.”
The word "reform" was deliberately emphasized, as if it were being squeezed out of the throat.
Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled and replied, "The divine seed is ready. Once things are settled here, Weizhi and I will go to the secret realm to level up."
Over the past two months, she has been busy with work during the day and condensing the seeds of divinity at night, leaving her almost completely drained.
However, it has condensed more than thirty divine seeds, which is enough for now.
Lau Evan tapped the paper in his hand with his pen, as if remembering something, and suggested in a deep voice, "You could consider going to the Black Abyss; you can gain more experience there. Also, Lin, you're from China, right?"
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't understand why Lau Evan would suddenly ask her if she was from China.
She nodded: "Yes, I am from China."
Lau Evan casually said something that left Lin Xiaoxiao completely confused: "That's right, I suggest you go to the Black Abyss."
However, given her and Wei's current sixth-tier level, it's probably going to be difficult for them to level up in the Black Abyss.
Just as Lin Xiaoxiao and her two companions were chatting while working.
About eighty kilometers away from her, on a glittering floating island, several agents were gathered together for a private meeting.
Artums, the agent of the Sun God, was the host of this meeting.
A man who was 2.3 meters tall, with a strong build, a rugged appearance, and dark skin, angrily slammed his hand on the table in front of him, stood up, and kicked the chair next to him away.
The chair slammed against the wall with a 'kuangji-' sound, broke into several pieces, and fell to the ground.
A right-hand five-finger print, about the size of a palm-leaf fan and 1 centimeter indented, was left on the table.
The man's voice was loud and his tone was irritable: "What does that woman mean? The first thing she did after taking over was to wipe out my people and replace them with a bunch of clueless idiots who can't understand human language, and take over my properties in Xuanluo City...￥#@￥… (too vulgar to write) Who does she think she is? Believe me or not, I'll have someone kill her right now."
Another woman with fair skin and many ornaments sat in the far corner, her fingers spread out in front of her eyes, carefully examining her long, blue-painted fingernails.
A moment later, the woman smiled with satisfaction, her tone somewhat nonchalant: "Go ahead, I support you. If you get caught, I'll take all your men under my command and treat them with great respect."
Hearing this, the man became even angrier. He clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the table, smashing a large hole in it: "Feiniao, are you looking for death?"
The woman named Asuka covered her mouth with her hand, twisted her waist, her jewelry jingling as she chuckled twice, and said in a soft, coquettish voice, "Litowei, don't be so fierce when you talk to a woman."
Another man with a gentle appearance sat between the two and softly tried to calm them down: "Don't argue. Didn't we agree to come here today to discuss how to deal with the ruthless methods of that newly appointed law enforcer..."
Atums, the agent of the Sun God, sat in the main seat, his body slightly tilted, his hand resting on his left temple. He ignored the increasingly escalating argument in front of him, which was about to escalate into a fight, and pondered the problem with a blank expression.
Sitting next to him was Kong Su, the Moon Goddess's agent, who sat upright with her hands folded in her lap. She asked softly, "Atumus, what are your thoughts?"
After a long while, Atums smiled warmly and said gently, "Since that person wants a 'clean' divinely favored city, then let's all cooperate. Her level is too low right now; we'll talk about it later when she advances to a quasi-god."
Upon hearing this, the others present stopped arguing, seeing Atums's sunny smile.
They exchanged a glance and swallowed hard. Was he planning to repeat the same steps as before? The problem was, this one seemed much more difficult than the previous ones.
Kong Su's expression remained unchanged. She was the only one present who knew exactly what Artums wanted, but she did not object. She simply nodded to indicate that she understood.
Artums sat up straight, reached out and touched Kong Su's expressionless face, which never showed any expression, with an affectionate gesture and a gentle smile: "Su Su, so good."
A new conspiracy has begun to brew, like an invisible net, attempting to trap Lin Xiaoxiao and the City of Divine Favor as prey.
Six days later.
Around seven in the morning, the dazzling light of the rising sun shone on the floating island, casting a warm glow over everything on it.
A 5m x 5m clearing has been created in the garden, and a magic circle about 3 meters in diameter has been painted on it with specially made paint. Inside the circle is a six-pointed star with several patterns.
Dozens of colorful energy stones were arranged in a regular pattern around the magic circle. Some were inside the lines, and some were outside. Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the distance between them varied by a uniform 29 centimeters.
Standing to the side, Lin Xiaoxiao held a paintbrush that was half her height in her hand, which she propped up in the paint bucket. She was a little out of breath as she squinted at the magic circle in front of her, trying to see if there was anything missing.
Xiao Weizhi carried a small bucket of energy stones in his hand, and from time to time, he bent down and placed an energy stone at a designated location according to Quan Zhi's instructions.
Quan Zhi floated in mid-air, her small hands folded in front of her chest. After carefully observing and confirming that there were no flaws in the magic circle, she nodded to Lin Xiaoxiao, who was also observing beside her.
Once the coating on the magic circle had dried, Lin Xiaoxiao stood in the center of the magic circle, closed her eyes tightly, and tried her best to mobilize the energy deep within her body that had been transformed into the power of a pseudo-god.
As time passed, everything around quieted down, even the slightest breeze stopped. At one point, the space was so still that you could hear your own breathing.
Once the energy was mobilized, Lin Xiaoxiao slowly raised her hands, which were placed on either side of her body, to her chest and made a series of plucking motions in the air.
The next second, she slowly opened her eyes, and more than thirty divine seeds, slightly larger than sesame seeds and emitting a faint golden light, appeared out of thin air and floated erratically in mid-air.
When all the energy in the body is mobilized, a faint golden light overflows, triggering the magic circle beneath the feet to unleash a fierce golden light.
There were even two or three divine seeds that mischievously floated to Xiao Weizhi, who was standing to the side, and tried to attract him to reach out and touch them by increasing their own brightness.
However, since Lin Xiaoxiao had told Xiao Weizhi not to touch these divine seeds before he started, he held Red Tail in his arms and ignored the few shimmering divine seeds in front of him.
Lin Xiaoxiao intensified her energy drive, and the light of the magic circle beneath her feet shone even brighter. She chanted her exclusive incantation in a deep voice: "I am the agent of the Goddess of Fortune. Today, according to the rules, I will spread the seeds of divinity, find suitable people everywhere, extend invitations, and accompany me on my journey, basking in the radiance of fortune."
When she finished chanting the incantation, she waved her hand and grabbed all the divine seeds that were still drifting around.
A beam of light shot up from the magic circle beneath their feet, and the divine seed followed the beam, being propelled high into the sky before disappearing through space.
The professionals and citizens of the city of faith wandering below, through the thick clouds, could vaguely see the pillars of light shooting into the sky. They instinctively clasped their hands together in prayer, hoping that a surprise would suddenly befall them.
On the floating island, Lin Xiaoxiao, having completed the transfer of the divine seed, was exhausted and held in Xiao Weizhi's arms. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, her lips were a little pale, and her energy was completely depleted.
It was indeed a bit of a stretch to spread thirty-three divine seeds in one go.
She was lifted up by Xiao Weizhi and rested her head on his shoulder. Suddenly remembering something, she asked with a smile, "Weizhi, why don't you ever ask why I always prevent you from coming into contact with the divine seed?"
Xiao Weizhi carried Lin Xiaoxiao steadily towards the villa, his voice calm: "If you won't let me, then it proves that that thing is not suitable for me."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao wrapped her arms around Xiao Weizhi's neck, lifted herself up slightly, breathed into his earlobe, and grinned mischievously: "What if I don't want you to continue improving and want to keep you trapped, making you my little darling husband?"
Xiao Weizhi's neck instantly broke out in goosebumps, and her earlobes turned slightly red.
He paused, subtly shifting his position, and carried the person towards the room, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Little darling? A novel way of putting it, sounds good."
Seeing his indifferent reaction, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately lost the will to continue teasing him. She let go of his hands, nestled obediently in his arms, and wondered when a new mission to act as a divine agent would be launched.
The reason why Xiao Weizhi was kept away from the divine seed was because Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to give him the identity of a divine agent.
Although becoming a god's agent has drawbacks (losing part of one's physical body), the benefits are also obvious (status, status, and combat power later on).
When the door was closed and locked, Lin Xiaoxiao realized something was wrong. Just as she was about to ask why she had gone back to the room, Xiao Weizhi covered her mouth with his...
Slowing down a few steps, Redtail, locked outside the door, howled and scratched at the door with its claws. After waiting for a while, it listlessly ran down to the second basement level to play with Hill.
A divine seed traversed space and appeared above the poorest village in the capital of the gods. It precisely located the girl in the dilapidated little house, who was holding a broken bowl, numbly swallowing, and looked filthy.
The divine seed floated in front of the girl, flashing and emitting light, beckoning her to touch it.
The moment the girl's thin, slightly dusty index finger touched the seed of divinity:
[The agent of Lady Luck - ***, has issued you a divine favor quest. Do you agree?]
The moment the girl chose to agree, Lin Xiaoxiao, far away in the City of Faith, seemed to sense something and slowly opened her eyes in the darkness.
A slight smile appeared on her lips. This person has good luck to have encountered a divine seed so quickly!
