Time quickly arrived two days later, the official trade time appointed by Mu
Yuan and Minister Chen.
He hailed a car, taking Sophia out to see the world, and arrived at the same restaurant as their last meeting.
“This is all the Remnant Souls, you can count them.”
Minister Chen said.
He didn’t come alone today. With him were two men in black suits, and a young female secretary in a tight black uniform and skirt, her curvaceous figure outlined impeccably.
At his signal, the secretary took out a briefcase and gently opened it.
The seemingly small briefcase held a surprisingly large space inside. Numerous Remnant Souls arranged neatly in it, emanating a lustrous glow that lit up the entire room.
Mu Yuan signaled Sophia, who he brought along to gain experience and to make a good impression, to step forward and quickly count the number of Remnant Souls.
Sophia knew well that she was representing her lord’s reputation, so she had prepared thoroughly, displaying the grace of a former countess’s daughter.
She checked meticulously and after a while reported to Mu Yuan, “Boss, everything is in order.”
Mu Yuan nodded.
She then took out a storage bag and handed it to the secretary, whose figure was fuller than hers, but of course, could not compare to Sophia in terms of appearance and temperament, “The remaining soul crystals are in here, please count them.”
The assistant took it, looking a bit nervous.
This was due to Sophia’s serious demeanour and the aura of elegance she exuded.
The assistant felt inferior.
Minister Chen thought to himself, “He is indeed worthy of being a newly ascended lord who can afford over a hundred soul crystals for a trade. He might be even more outstanding than I thought, with a potential comparable to the top-ranked rookies.”
Old Brother Mai Wa leaned over to Mu Yuan and whispered, “Bro, aren’t you… aren’t… why are you still…?”
He gestured ambiguously, indirectly pointing at Sophia.
Mu Yuan: “?” Get out with your riddles!
Old Brother Mai Wa helplessly said, “Didn’t you accept investment from a wealthy woman? Now you’ re hiring this young and beautiful female player as your assistant, will there be any problems?
He seemed to mean, don’t spoil your relationship with the wealthy woman for a beautiful girl.
A wealthy woman could save you three to five years, or even thirty to fifty years
of hard work.
Wealthy women are important.
Even for a heavy-duty tank, one must endure.
One becomes superior by enduring the hardships of life.
He also wants to take it easy, but there are no wealthy women who see through
his strong and stubborn front. He envies him.
Mu Yuan: “!!!”
Mu Yuan: “Slander, who is slandering me!”
Old Brother Mai Wa, “Didn’t you share the words ‘luxury house’ last time? Isn t it because you got involved with a rich woman?
Mu Yuan: ” ”
I’m not, I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense.
But the blueprints for the city lord’s mansion were indeed given by the wealthy woman, he who is as honest as I am, cannot refute this.
He could only dismiss it with a wave of his hand, “No harm, there won’t be any problems. Sophia is just my trusted and capable assistant.”
Old Brother Mai Wa paid his respects, “I understand.”
He gave a thumbs up and didn’t say more.
Wait a moment, what do you understand! The angry fist emoji.
After the trade, naturally, it was time for a feast.
The table was even more luxurious than the day before, even including rare level ingredients. Despite the novel preparation techniques, Sophia ate slowly and gracefully. Mu Yuan wanted to eat more to load it into the Duo Lai template, but then decided against it. After all, he was the boss.
How could he have such a disgraceful thought? It must have been Duo Lai s
influence.
Having eaten and drunk to their fill, Mu Yuan took Sophia and left.
He walked ahead with his hands in his pockets, while Sophia followed in step, carrying the briefcase.
Night had fallen.
Although the streets were somewhat desolate, the neon lights were as dazzling
as ever.
The brilliant galaxy hung high in the night sky, each star advancing into the vast darkness, much like Lanxing’s uncertain future.
The wind blew by, carrying a hint of alcohol from Mu Yuan’ s breath.
The energy in his body was humming like a furnace, steaming away the tipsiness almost completely.
He didn’t call a taxi, but continued walking, even leading Sophia into some seldom-trafficked alleys.
He was merely testing.
After all, he had just completed a trade involving over a hundred soul crystals, and was now carrying a substantial amount of ‘wealth’ in the form of Remnant
Souls.
For a lord, this was not a lot of money, but for ordinary players, it could be a fortune they couldn’t earn in years.
Mu Yuan had the capability to contact the major trade unions long ago, being able to scrape together a dozen or so soul crystals even two months prior.
However, if he had traded in this way, it would have been too risky.
Remnant Souls, soul crystals, tribute treasures, they could easily attract the attention of veteran players. Although the chances were small, he wouldn’t gamble. He would rather be extra careful and take extra time even if it was a bit troublesome.
And now,
Veteran players? Fugitives? What level are they!
He wished he could run into a bounty-hunted criminal. Like Giant Scar with a
400k bounty, he could handle ten of them.
After several battles with Shen Linglong, Mu Yuan had a clear understanding of his own strength. It was still far from the true powerhouses, but in the real world, as long as he didn’t venture too far from the city, he could easily protect himself.
He didn’t even need to lift a finger himself.
Sophia alone could kill all criminals. Doing so would be even more low-key.
This was also the third reason why he brought her along.
Lord Shepherd had prepared 108 contingency plans, leading Sophia through twelve alleyways, three secluded parks, encountering a few unspeakable events, and finally…
Nothing happened.
The real world is indeed very peaceful.
Mu Yuan let out a sigh, uncertain whether it was relief or regret.
“Ding!”
“Notification: 10.1 Soul Crystals for cross-boundary transportation have been
deducted.”
Holding a briefcase, Mu Yuan returned straight to the Eternal World, leaving Sophia alone in the spacious villa.
“Trans-dimensional fee, it’s still expensive.”
This time, he bulk purchased Remnant Souls from the One-Handed Chamber of Commerce, which was cheaper than buying in small quantities. But the price was secondary; what mattered most was the convenience and speed – he quickly got his hands on a bunch of them with just a snap of his fingers. Looking at the glittering pile of Remnant Souls, Mu Yuan’s face was full of smiles, as if a farmer was looking at golden wheat fields. It was the joy of a bountiful harvest.
Soon, the Evolution Points would increase significantly.
In due time, he would continue to bulk buy Remnant Souls at the right opportunity, and… a promising future was near.
Mu Yuan called over Lu Liu, Seventeen, Niu Si, and Lainey, each leading a group of elites to welcome the newbies.
The Great Lord Shepherd began recruiting. More recruiting and continued recruiting!
The Lord’s Altar only had so much space. In the past, even the recruitment of a few dozen Little Skeletons could result in some being squeezed off the altar, let alone now.
“Ding!…”
Passed! Passed! Passed!
Group after group of militiamen in light clothing barely revealed their figures before they were immediately taken away and assigned to different squads.
Soon, there were more newcomers than veterans.
He was fortunate that his Tianyuan Territory was adequately staffed. There were already 500 human soldiers, of which more than too had budding intellects. Otherwise, it would be hard to manage over a thousand newly joined members.
Even so, Mr. Mu worked from night till morning the next day, busy recruiting and arranging these 1158 new soldiers.
He was tired but happy.
“Now, the number of human soldiers is almost catching up with the highest undead system and far surpasses the previous second place – the slime senes.” With this situation, not only Isloa, Lu Liu, Seventeen would be able to evolve to the Epic Tier in a month.
In the undead system, there weren’t many more generals than in the human system, but the King’s Legion needed to be heavily trained and required more Evolution Points.
The next focus was the procurement of Little Skeleton Remnant Souls.
Two days later, late at night.
The City Lord’s Mansion was brightly lit, reflecting the slender figures of Isloa, Isloa, and Isloa.
She was busy with paperwork. Just as she finished a pile of documents and turned around, Daisy brought another batch.
It seemed endless.
After all, Tianyuan Town was a town with over three thousand territory citizens and three to four thousand soldiers. The arrangement of work for the citizens, conflict resolution, accommodation issues, territory expansion, and many other matters needed to be dealt with. The Tianyuan territory’s City Lord’s Mansion was still a simple institution.
Isloa had no experience in managing a town.
Neither did Mu Yuan. He could only provide spiritual and various learning materials support.
“I’m grateful that Isloa is capable. Otherwise, the one who would be running around would be me.”
He heard that the Liver Emperor, a man full of spirit, almost blew himself up. Seeing Isloa working so absorbed, Mu Yuan also picked up some documents to review. When the girl came back to her senses, he said, “Take a break.” “I can’t. I’m afraid that once I blink, the pile of papers in front of me will grow by a notch.”
She complained.
Looking back, the Lord said that Tianyuan Territory was in the initial stage of construction, and there would be a little more work to do. But now, it is a lot more. Bang bang bang!
Isloa was not complaining about the heavy workload. She thought it was a rare opportunity to be trusted and realize her ambitions. It s just…
At first, the Lord was handling official duties with her. Gradually he left her to do it all alone.
She looked at him resentfully.
Mu Yuan coughed slightly, “That is showing how capable you are. Let’s talk about something important. You remember what I promised you, right?
“…Promise?”
“Regarding the evolution, I’ve said that I would cure your bloodline disease and help you go to the next level.”
Isloa:”!!!”
She stared blankly at him for a moment before asking, “So soon? Uh, do I need to prepare anything? Wait, don’t we need to bathe and burn incense?”
No preparation was needed.
There’s no need to be polite since they’re all of the same kind. Mu Yuan didn’t go anywhere else but took Isloa out to the spacious courtyard. “Are we really not preparing anything? This is charging at the epic!
She felt it was too casual.
As if the Epic Life she had been pursuing for a long time, yet could hardly catch a glimpse of its shadow, was merely a trifling matter.
Give it a sense of ceremony.
“Well, you could do a split.”
He said.
Isloa:”?”
Just as she was about to speak, she saw Lord point at her forehead gently, and a warm, mysterious, vast, and great power was infused into her.
“Human Evolution Points deducted as 5399 units.”
In an instant, Isloa turned into a being of light.
Her pink hair fluttered, her eyes shone brilliantly, like radiant stars.
On her delicate collarbone, her milky white arm, a strange stardust pattern appeared and continually spread to her cheeks.
It was as if she entered her ultimate battle mode.
But it wasn’t her initiative to enter.
The next second, in Mu Yuan’s sight, in the brilliant white light, those strange stardust patterns fizzled out with azure smoke and faded away without a trace. At this time, the brilliance of evolution finally completely enveloped Isloa. Her specific appearance was no longer visible; a graceful human silhouette could be seen levitating in the glow, beginning to transform.
“Evolve to the ultimate, Isloa.”
“Embrace your new future.”
