"Master, don't be angry. The system will not be unkind. The fulfillment of the conditions this time is not an indicator of the people's support."
"What exactly is that?"
Seeing that Xiaotie still wanted to keep it a secret, Chu Ming continued to threaten it.
"You didn't even notice Tianlao's anomaly, and you almost brought us a huge risk, and you're still showing off to me here."
How did the system know that this was Chu Ming's routine? Xiaotie was so anxious that he almost cried.
"Master, don't worry. If you want to know, Xiaotie will tell you."
Chu Ming suppressed his smile, but still looked unhappy on his face and urged, "Hurry up and say it."
"In fact, the evaluation condition this time is that the eastern continent is in a complete state of protection, and the conditions for system upgrade have been met."
"In other words, the system also believes that the western continent should be abandoned."
Chu Ming keenly discovered the mystery.
Xiao Tie said with an aggrieved tone, "That's why Xiao Tie can't say it clearly."
"You are my system and you are still hiding secrets from me. Could it be that you are just like Tian Lao and have your own little thoughts?"
It seemed that this situation had been anticipated, and Xiaotie patiently explained the reason to Chu Ming.
"The system does this to hone the master's abilities. It's all for your own good. Xiao Tie doesn't have any intentions to hide."
"But you didn't tell me the reason first."
Seeing Chu Ming insisting on this matter, Xiao Tie had a bad feeling.
It has been with Chu Ming for many years and has a certain understanding of its owner. Whenever this situation occurs, there must be other demands hidden behind it.
Even so, it couldn't help but argue.
"The system task is a test for you. This was originally agreed upon by both parties. Xiaotie has violated the rules by revealing the specific content to you now."
Chu Ming didn't expect Xiaotie to come to his senses so quickly, and he didn't know how to refute for a while.
After pondering for a while, he decided to stick to the matter of "Tian Lao".
"As my system and the closest partner, you didn't notice anything unusual about the Tiangong Artifact Spirit. Does this make sense?"
Realizing that the master was repeating the old tune, Xiao Tie said in a resigned tone, "How does the master want Xiao Tie to compensate you?"
Hearing what the system said, Chu Ming showed a smile that said you were on the right track.
"You don't have to worry, just give me a hundred Supreme Cards as compensation."
"One hundred supreme cards!"
As a system person, Xiaotie was so angry that his voice broke.
"You can make a counteroffer."
"Xiao Tie can compensate you with up to a thousand sets of Emperor Wu's equipment. This is my limit."
Chu Ming had no intention of really getting a hundred Supreme Cards. He just wanted to set the conditions high and wait for Xiaotie to bargain.
How could a simple Xiaotie defeat Chu Ming, an "unscrupulous businessman"? In just one round, he was tested for the first time and his bottom line was exceeded.
"Okay, that's all."
Chu Ming still looked like he was at a disadvantage.
One thousand sets of Martial Emperor equipment are worth five billion spirit stones, which is a lot of money.
Moreover, the quality of the equipment produced by the system is much higher than that of Shanhai Continent. It is precisely because the complete sets of equipment are too expensive that all the Heavenly Soldiers have not obtained complete equipment.
Only those heavenly soldiers who often go on missions are eligible to own the system's equipment.
Every time he thought about this, Chu Ming felt that he was a "poor man".
It seems that we still need to strengthen the supervision of Xu Zhu.
When Xiao Tie saw the look on Chu Ming's face, he knew that his master had another idea, but he didn't know who would suffer?
Anyway, it plans to hide it as deep as possible, so as not to let the owner notice it, but it can't withstand Chu Ming's squeeze again.
Although the Shanhai Continent has been unified, the Heavenly Palace has become even busier.
Not only did the construction of Nanshan and Beishan fortresses begin at the same time, but the completed Qishan Fortress also started a "troop training" boom.
Whether they are disciples of the sect or warriors from various places, they all began rigorous training under the unified organization of Tiangong.
Not only do they practice the same martial arts, battle formations, passwords, and a series of new things that they have never been exposed to before, but they also have to become familiar with all the combat-related facilities in the fortress.
Although everyone knows about the future foreign invasion, many people regard it as a joke, and some people even use it to slander Tiangong.
I think this is just an excuse to use them as cannon fodder to compete with the Black Sect for dominance in the mainland.
But now that Tiangong has unified the mountains and seas, the intensity of training is getting higher and higher day by day, which also makes many warriors believe Tiangong's original statement.
"Wei Hu, are you tired?"
"I'm not tired. Now my strength is increasing every day. It's not too late to be happy. How can I still feel tired!"
"Yes, I never thought that one day I would become an innate warrior."
After training, everyone gathered together to chat and were all excited about the growth of their respective strengths.
"I didn't expect that there would be a foreign invasion and want to destroy the Shanhai Continent."
"I heard from those sect disciples that the demons once invaded, but they were defeated by the warriors of our ancient sect."
"I have also heard that a big demon was suppressed on the ancient battlefield. It is said that he was a warrior above the realm of the God of War. It was the young master who killed him."
"Above the realm of the God of War! How strong must the young master be!"
"How strong is it? The leader of the black-clothed sect practiced evil skills and reached the realm of the God of War. Didn't he die at the hands of the young master? According to me, the young master is the strongest warrior in the mainland."
"That's right, the past record is the most convincing. Killing two strong men above the realm of the God of War in a row can only be done by Young Master. If he is not the strongest, who else is the strongest!"
"And the disciples of the sect also said that if it weren't for Young Master, the mainland would have been occupied by that big demon. I heard that the demons prey on humans, how could we still survive?"
Chu Ming has long since become the idol in the hearts of the sect disciples. With their efforts in publicity, warriors from all over the world have begun to worship Chu Ming.
Precisely because they had foreseen today's situation, the Southern Territory Sect would rather hand over huge resources than send disciples.
"I just know that everything now is given by Tiangong. If anyone dares to slander Tiangong again, I will fight him to the death."
"And defending the mainland is everyone's responsibility. Only by training hard can I be worthy of what the young master has done for us."
Wei Hu's words deeply moved everyone. Everyone suddenly felt that the original heavy training was not that hard, and everyone persisted happily.
The cooperation between Shen Luoyan and Jiang Wenqing has become increasingly tacit.
Meirener's military advisor has fully guaranteed the supply of materials everywhere. Whether it is the need for building a new fortress or the loss of spiritual stones everywhere, she has arranged everything in an orderly manner.
Jiang Wenqing selected the most talented warriors from all over the country and sent them to the training camp in Tiangong.
The remaining warriors were divided into three groups and sent to Qishan Fortress, Nanshan Fortress, and Beishan Fortress respectively.
Although the latter two fortresses are still under construction, participating in the construction in person will also be beneficial to their garrison in the future.
His idea was inspired by Chu Ming.
The Shanhai Continent seemed to be revitalized and began to flourish.
In Hedong County in the Northeast Region, Uncle Fu finally waited for the news about Chu Ming visiting relatives.
They have not seen each other for more than ten years. For Uncle Fu, who misses the young master every day, there is no better news than this.
Even the shopkeepers who were familiar with him began to make fun of him.
"Uncle Fu looked even younger when he heard the news that Master Chu was returning to his hometown to visit relatives."
"It doesn't look like Uncle Fu is very young!"
Although many years have passed, everyone still couldn't help but joke when they saw his middle-aged face.
"Uncle Fu, did Mr. Chu have a specific date?"
"Not really, but it should be within the next two days."
Unconsciously, Fu Bo's smile always hung on his face.
"I don't know if Master Chu has gotten married again?"
Everyone still remembers the scene when many wealthy people in the city were vying to renew Chu Ming's string.
"The young master is already married, and he has more than one house."
"More than one room? How much is that?"
"The young master didn't say, but I can tell from the letter that there should be quite a few, because he asked me to buy all the houses around the original courtyard."
I don’t know why, but when Fu Bo said this, he was filled with a strong sense of pride.
"Uncle Fu, this is why you wantonly acquired real estate. Master Chu originally lived in the Sanjin courtyard. Isn't that enough to house his wives and concubines?"
"I don't know. Maybe there are too many maids serving you?"
Forber wasn't so sure about this either.
"Old Li, you are just worrying. Master Chu has been away from home for many years. Naturally, he will bring a lot of family members with him this time."
"I don't know what kind of official position Master Chu has now?"
Everyone looked at Fu Bo expectantly.
"I don't know either."
"Hasn't Mr. Chu mentioned his current official position in all these years?"
"I really don't know. The young master has never mentioned it."
Uncle Fu was still loyal to the steward's ethics. He would never ask about topics that Chu Ming didn't take the initiative to bring up.
"No matter what, with Master Chu's ability, he can now be the lord of a city, and he may even be the lord of a big city."
"Impossible. The city lords are all held by warriors. Chief Chu should still hold an important civil official position."
"Now the entire continent belongs to Tiangong. If Master Chu can hold a position in Tiangong, it will be the glory of our entire Hedong County."
"That is not only the glory of our Hedong County, but also the glory of our entire Qinghe County."
In fact, this is what these shopkeepers want to express.
Although they were not warriors, the shrewdness of the businessmen and the knowledge of traveling all over the world convinced them that Chu Ming's current status was extraordinary.
The elixir that can make Fu Bo "rejuvenate himself" is proof of this.
As the person involved, Uncle Fu was naturally aware of their intentions, but since we were all fellow villagers, they had no ill intentions.
