Wen Jishan thought of this and smiled slightly.
âDonât look down on them for only having half a star of strength. Every elementalist isnât to be
underestimated. The one who presided over the research and development of rice has achieved
good results in just a few days. He has successfully planted the Black Valley seeds that were
previously given as aid by the Interstellar Alliance. Now is the time to test the results.â
âBlack Valley? Are you talking about the type of rice that is said to have high nutritional value? It
matures twice a year and the yield per acre is very good but Escher Star has been unable to plant it?â
Pei Linâs knowledge reserves were good. She even knew about Black Valley.
Someone else answered it so Wen Jishan nodded very comfortably.
Pei Lin saw him admitting it and became interested. âChief Administrator, I wonder if we can follow
along? I believe there are many people in the empire who must be interested in this matter.â
Wen Jishan shook his head and refused.
âIt is still in the confidential phase. The rice fields canât be shown to you but the results... if you are
interested, you can wait for me to return to show you what the legendary Black Valley looks like.â
Pei Lin could only express her regret. She saw that Wen Jishan was about to leave and didnât dare
stop him. She could only quickly end the interview.
It was a nation ruled by imperial power. There might be a media presence like reporters but it was
obviously impossible for them to be as unscrupulous as those in the federations.
Pei Lin watched Wen Jishan leave before asking the cameraman to point the camera at Niyaâs tent.
Coincidentally, the wounded man who had been carried in just came out at this moment.
He was alive and well. His vitality might still be insufficient but at least he wasnât seriously injured
and dying. Pei Lin couldnât help staring with wide eyes.
She ran over with the microphone to quickly interview the wounded man.
At this moment, regardless of whether it was the inner city or outer city, people were watching the
live broadcast in every place a signal could be received.
A tavern in the slums of the outer city.
âWow, she deserves to be a royal water healer! He had such a serious injury but he can walk and
jump after a few minutes!â
âYes. It is a pity they couldnât go inside to shoot. Niya must be pretty awesome1â
âThat is the royal water healer. Is it your business to call her awesome or not? Believe it or not, she
can press you to death with one finger!â
Some people chatted and laughed while others watched the TV deep in thought.
âIt looks like Mercenary Town will develop very well in the future,â a bearded man said.
âWhy? Eddie, do you want to go and try it?â The person next to him smiled.
The bearded man drank the wine and raised an eyebrow. âAre you interested in going together?
Mercenary Town... is only half a month away.â
âAre you being real?â
âOf course. If I go there, I donât have to worry about food and clothing. Is there any need to worry
about food as long as there is work to do? Perhaps I can also get a house.â
âHaha, you dare to think!â
âHow about it? You wonât do it?â
âOkay! Then pack up and set off tomorrow!â
Similar conversations took place in different locations. At this moment, countless people yearned for
For many people like them who were at the bottom, the inner city was attainable. Even if they
wanted to work hard, no one would want them.
However, Mercenary Town was different.
They had learned a lot from the live broadcast.
There was work and food to eat.
Moreover, the emperor was paying attention and big names like the chief administrator were
engaged in construction there. There were long-term plans for the future!
No one didnât want a better life, no one wanted to live in the mud all the time. Now the emperor had
There was no need to call or advertise. There were already people who wanted to work hard and had
a unique vision. They set off for Mercenary Town.
In the inner city, a woman was sitting on the sofa and looking at the live broadcast while knitting a
âOhh, Administrator Wen is so handsome.â
She smiled and pulled the woolen thread. The discussion between Wen Jishan and Pei Lin didnât
At this time, there was movement on the stairs.
She turned around and saw her son walking downstairs with a backpack.
She wanted to tell him there was soup cooking in the pot when she saw something and the smile on
her face was replaced by doubt. âLittle Yu, where are you going?â
Chi Yu looked at his mother and spoke somewhat hesitantly. âMom, I resigned.â
âWhat?â The womanâs eyes widened. âWhy? Is it a bad job? Were you bullied?â
âMy colleagues were very good to me but... I want to go to Mercenary Town to develop.â
The woman was stunned and glanced at the TV. It was still playing the broadcast from the town.
Chi Yu saw her dull appearance and lowered his head guiltily. âMom, I think there will be more
opportunities there compared to the inner city. I can also better use my expertise. I know that Dad
definitely wonât agree so... I will leave first while he isnât here. Once I am settled over there, Iâll come
Chi Yu finished speaking and didnât dare look at his motherâs expression. He turned around to leave.
The woman called out to him.
âMom, I have decided. Donât try to persuade me...â Chi Yu turned back to her, only to find his mother
rushing over with a fruit basket that she stuffed into his arms.
He was a bit helpless and a bit moved. âMom...â
The woman eagerly told him, âYou help me give this to Chief Administrator Wen Jishan and sign an
autograph for me. Next time, remember to bring it back.â
Xu Sili had just arrived in Mercenary Town when a notification window popped up in front of him.
[Ding~ Popular support rate +1%. Current popular support rate: 55%.]
[Note: There is the possibility of a civil commotion when the popular support rate is less than 50%.]
He blinked and looked down again.
Then he saw the camera in front of Niyaâs tent while Pei Lin interviewed people and he understood
This reporter was too awesome!
It seemed that the increase in public support was inseparable from the reporterâs reporting.
After all, his reforms werenât carried out nationwide. He was doing a pilot experiment in Mercenary
Town and the total number of people in this small town was only 50,000.
Now he had received the support of nearly three million people due to the Mercenary Town project.
It was also unintentional.
Xu Sili sighed and turned his gaze to the elementalist apprentices.
He saw they had all woken up and couldnât help nodding. However, he looked at them again and saw
that they were like headless flies who didnât know what to do. He couldnât keep watching.
He sent a message to Wen Jishan, asking him to take the students to register as mercenaries and
As for himself, he didnât show up.
He was the ruler and it was better to keep a bit of distance, which would encourage them to work for
Of course, he still had to keep an eye on the progress in the overall situation.
Xu Sili looked at the busy Mercenary Town before shifting his gaze to the land further away.
The plan to build roads and radiate out into the surroundings could be put on the agenda once these
elementalist apprentices were in place.
Xu Sili thought about the next thing before smiling at Si Sheng. âLetâs go and take a stroll around the
Si Shengâs thoughts moved. He nodded and manipulated the shadow leopard to the town.
Mercenary Town wasnât big or small.
Xu Sili took Si Sheng and wandered along the streets and alleys. It seemed to be aimless but he was
actually paying attention to the sounds in the area.
He wanted to see if he could hear a folk song again and gain another singing skill.
The experience with Sprouting told him that deliberate learning was useless. It was only by
experiencing life and seeing all types of people singing different songs that it was possible to
It depended on fate but fate also required him to meet it.
For example, if he stayed at home then he wouldnât meet fate even when it came to him.
Si Sheng followed the young man, watching as he slowly and leisurely walked around with a faint
Si Sheng was already satisfied as long as he could accompany the lord god like this.
Finally, Xu Sili stood on the corner of a street and sighed helplessly in his heart.
Sure enough, it wasnât something he could just ask for...
He turned around to tell Si Sheng to go back, only to meet the manâs smiling eyes.
What was this person smiling at?
âYour Majesty, are you tired?â Si Sheng looked at him and asked in a gentle voice.
Xu Sili looked away. âA little bit.â
âShall this servant take you back to the palace to rest? Or do you want to eat in town?â Si Sheng
looked down at him, voice soft.
Xu Sili glanced over. The feeling that Si Sheng gave him was stranger but...
This person was still quite useful.
âGo back. I donât want to eat here.â Xu Siliâs lips curled up. This place was too unpalatable. It was
better to eat in the palace.

Maybe he should study food?
Si Sheng nodded. He summoned the shadow leopard and returned to the palace with Xu Sili.
Once the young man returned to his bedroom, Si Sheng left reluctantly to deal with some of the
accumulated government affairs.
Now that Wen Jishan wasnât free, perhaps he should catch someone back to take over these
Xu Sili didnât know the marshalâs troubles and was happy to dump the work on someone else. He had
a brief meal before going to the dark room and opening the game cabin.
The indicator light turned on and he lay down in a determined manner.
He would give artificial intelligence a try!
