"Does she go by Xiao Tong? Xiao Tong, how old are you?" Xiao Tian asked, looking at Xiao Tong who was hanging on Ye Yun, suppressing her shock.
"Godmother Auntie, I'm six years old this year, almost seven," Xiao Tong replied sweetly, jumping down from Ye Yun and running to Xiao Tian's side when her future godmother asked.
"Six years old? A Sky-Forsaken class?" Xiao Tian looked at Xiao Tong, then turned to Ye Yun. As an NPC, she could sense the terrifying energy contained within Xiao Tong's small body. She hadn't expected Ye Yun, besides being a monster himself, to have cultivated people who were equally monstrous!
"As expected of a being granted a system role by 'Heaven's Will', you can see that."
Sky-Forsaken! A Sky-Forsaken in the hands of Ye Yun, who possessed countless resources! Once cultivated by Ye Yun, she would undoubtedly be a great war god within the Ten Directions Universe!
It could be said that once this little girl grew up, no one in the Ten Directions Universe would be able to shake Ye Yun's position!
"I never imagined that besides the City Lord's own formidable strength, his luck would also be so heaven-defying," Xiao Tian said with immense envy.
"Luck is an integral part of strength," Ye Yun chuckled lightly, watching a black dot fly from afar.
These were mounts in the truest sense, and Xiao Tong's giant bird was one she had pestered Jin Zhiyuan to let her play with.
"Boss!"
Several dark figures descended from the air one after another.
"Not bad, you're riding precious horses after only ten days apart," Ye Yun couldn't help but tease the eight people who had landed.
Players who reached level thirty would unlock the mount function. Unlike Xiao Tong's, these mounts could fight, and players could ride them even in combat.
"Heh heh, Boss, do you have any big plans for calling us over?" Before Zhou Ningdong could speak, Xie Yifeng eagerly asked.
War criminal!
This was the unified title for Xie Yifeng among all Dragon Palace members. This guy seemed excessively enthusiastic about war.
The four major teams had been reorganized into four major legions. Their expedition to the Indian continent last time had excited them immensely, not only allowing them to experience their own power but also allowing them to gain considerable benefits from the Indian continent.
What was most abundant in the Indian continent? Temples! These guys were like cats smelling fish when they saw a temple, and almost all the wealth within the temples of the entire country had entered their pockets.
Submit?
Not a chance. These guys would be chanting Amitabha if they weren't asked for money! Therefore, Ye Yun could only let them loose to wreak havoc elsewhere.
"This is for you," Ye Yun produced the Bigu Pills he had refined. He kept the superior and good quality ones for himself, and gave the rest to Zhou Ningdong for distribution.
"Soybeans?" Chen Jiamiao's eyes widened.
Soybeans? Damn it…
Ye Yun suppressed the urge to throw this guy off the top of the tower.
"Distribute them to all Dragon Palace members, let them activate their combat power to 90%! Remember, not exceeding 95%, as there might be other opportunities in the future." Ye Yun did not elaborate on what those opportunities were.
"Let me introduce you, Xiao Tian is now the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion. Old Zhou, you can ask her more about anything you don't understand in the game from now on."
For Xiao Tian's character, making her just a shopkeeper at the Myriad Things Mall felt like a waste. After all, she was a native generated within Heaven's Will, and she understood many things more thoroughly than players.
"System prompt: 'Heaven's Will' has detected a player appointing a high-level being to a position. The other party is also willing to establish an employment relationship with the player. Caution: This being is an awakened NPC from a higher plane, and there is a certain risk in employing them. It is recommended that the player sign a relevant contract."
…
Damn it, you can do this? Ye Yun agreed without a second thought.
Risk?
Who in the current game world could threaten him? And in reality, they still had three years. By then, his own strength would be immeasurable.
"System prompt: The player can appoint the awakened native 'Xiao Tian' to the positions of Class I - Deputy City Lord, Grand General of Fengle City's Defense, and Class II - Mansion Housekeeper, Chief Designer of Fengle City, Director of the Treasury Department. Class I positions have a monthly salary of 500 million gold coins, and Class II positions have a monthly salary of 100 million gold coins."
Damn! This salary was pocket change compared to those working bosses!
Ye Yun did not hesitate to choose Deputy City Lord. However, Ye Yun was also careful about the contract! And it was a long-term contract!
The two most important points of this contract were that both during her tenure and for three years after leaving, she must maintain a friendly attitude towards Fengle City, and during her tenure, she must not do anything detrimental to the development of Fengle City.
"Fengle City Announcement: City Lord appoints NPC 'Xiao Tian' and player Zhou Ningdong as Deputy City Lords…"
This appointment actually had a system-wide regional announcement?
Ye Yun was somewhat taken aback by the system announcement after making the appointment. However, he didn't pay too much attention to it.
"To be honest, City Lord, if you offered this agreement to any other awakened being, they wouldn't sign it with you. However, I will!" Xiao Tian said, looking at Ye Yun and smiling as she responded to the Heaven's Will contract Ye Yun had issued.
"I'm a person with very low security, so contracts become a way for me to protect myself. I can't help it, I'm used to it," Ye Yun shrugged and spread his hands.
"Zhou Ningdong, if you have nothing else to do, open a herb acquisition shop in the market. Acquire them without limit. If you run out of money, tell me. You guys handle the rest. Xiao Tong, you come with me!" To upgrade the Guiyuan Dan Furnace as quickly as possible, Ye Yun had truly spared no expense.
Ye Yun took Xiao Tong and Wang Chen away, leaving the few high-ranking officials to get acquainted with Xiao Tian. After all, it was Xiao Tian's first time here, and she was not familiar with the overall development of Fengle City.
"Brother Wang, you've been in Dragon Palace for over a month now. How is it? Have you adapted?" Ye Yun walked alongside Wang Chen, with Xiao Tong following behind.
"It's okay, everyone is very nice. It's just that Xiao Tong's schooling is still unresolved," Wang Chen sighed and glared at Xiao Tong.
"School? Didn't we find an international school last time?"
"Little Ye, you don't know, this girl was complained about on her second day there. She beat up all the children in her class, from boys to girls." Wang Chen said with a bitter smile.
Ever since Xiao Tong's strength had manifested, and she was free from illness, her entire being had undergone a tremendous change. This was why Ye Yun had instructed her not to use her in-game skills or true qi outside. Otherwise, she would have shaken the heavens.
"They called me a child without a mother, so they deserved to be beaten," Xiao Tong said indignantly when this was mentioned.
Seeing this, Ye Yun burst out laughing. He hadn't expected this outwardly well-behaved girl to have the potential of a devil. He didn't fear Xiao Tong causing trouble, but it had to be done with reason.
