Mirror World Administrator

Chapter 75 The joke is too big
At six o'clock in the afternoon of that day, the mirror world opened.

Yang Xu passed through the mirror and entered the territory as soon as possible.

Downstairs in the territory, Kamaitachi stood on a blue stone by the river, with his knees hugged by his paws, motionless, staring blankly at the river and thinking about his life.

Hearing the sound of Yang Xu coming down the stairs, the sickle-weasel's ears moved and it immediately turned its head to look at him. When it saw his figure, obvious joy appeared on its face.

The sickle-weasel jumped like teleportation, and in a few flashes it appeared on Yang Xu's shoulder, rubbing its head against his collar to express intimacy.

Yang Xu touched the weasel's head and smiled.

Mirror ghosts will not be expelled from the mirror world during the day and can stay in the territory forever. Yang Xu was quite curious about what the mirror world looked like during the day, but unfortunately he had no chance to see it.

The Pokémon yawned and emerged from the storage bag. Seeing the Kamaitachi licking a rat, it couldn't help but smirk. Because of its possession ability, it didn't need to stay in the mirror world during the day and could always stay by its owner's side.

This sneer was heard by Kamaitachi, and his eyes immediately turned fierce, and he shook the sharp claws in his hand towards the Pokémon.

The Pokémon was still a little afraid of the sharp claws. When it saw the Kamaitachi showing its claws, it made a face at it, and then quickly retreated into the storage bag before the Kamaitachi got angry.

Yang Xu ignored the conflict between the two pets, walked to the small river on the east side of the territory, and pulled up the fishing net on the shore.

The fishing takes 12 hours, and by the time you leave the net in the morning, the message will have changed to 'harvestable'.

The fishing net was pulled up little by little, and Yang Xu felt the weight in his hand, which was obviously heavier than when he cast the net in the morning. He began to look forward to it, thinking that he must have caught something!
Soon, as the fishing net was completely pulled up, a ray of light emerged from under the water. Yang Xu looked closely and saw a golden book tied in the net bag at the bottom of the fishing net.

[You have initially salvaged a body of water and retrieved a book of experience from underwater.]

[Fishing net durability -1, 1/5 remaining.]

"Book of Experience?!"

Yang Xu stared blankly at the golden book in the fishing net, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

The Book of Experience can indeed be dug out from the land, but according to Wuxi, the probability is extremely low, less than 1%. At that time, A Fei dug out two books in a row, making Wuxi and Mo Yu curse on the spot.

Yang Xu naturally did not expect that he would have the same luck as Ah Fei, but he did not expect that his luck was not bad either. He got a book after only looking at a dozen squares.

A book of experience provides 1200 experience points. With this book, he can directly level up by 10 and reach 2 stars.

As soon as he got the Book of Experience, Yang Xu subconsciously wanted to use it, but he held back at the last moment.

He had already signed up for the mission during the day, which required players to be below level 10. Eating this book now would be equivalent to giving up the mission.

Yang Xu hesitated for a moment, but finally decided not to use it first. One can never have too many Phoenix fragments. It would not be too late to use the Book of Experience after completing the task first.

Looking at the time, it was almost seven o'clock, so Yang Xu went home, packed up, and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, looking at the weasels in the territory staring at him eagerly, Yang Xu hesitated for a moment, and finally did not take the sickle-weasel with him.

Kamaitachi was different from Pokémon. Once possessed, a Pokémon became part of Yang Xu's inventory. If anything dangerous happened during this trip, Yang Xu could revive it at any time, and the Pokémon would return with it. However, Kamaitachi didn't have the ability to possess, so it couldn't revive with him. If he took Kamaitachi out and it died outside, it would be gone for good.

7pm, Mirror World public area.

Zuiwo Hongchen walked past the City Lord's Mansion with a stack of documents in his hand, ignored the 'Temporarily Closed' sign hanging in front of the door, and pushed the door open.

The City Lord's Mansion conducts an internal account audit every week and is closed for one day every weekend.

However, Zuiwo Hongchen is the president of the branch and a direct management member under the city lord. Of course, he is not an outsider and can enter and exit freely at any time.

The hall was busier than usual. More than a dozen staff members from Tianji Pavilion were busy organizing and reviewing various city revenue and expenditure data for the past week, and would report them to the city lord for review.

"Brother Chen is here!" Seeing Zuiwo Hongchen, many people greeted him.

"Coming." Zuiwo Hongchen also smiled and nodded in response. He walked all the way to the workbench in the back of the hall and put down the documents in his hand: "Xiaoyi, this is the income and expenditure of Qiucaotang this month. Let's count it together."

"Just leave it there." The staff member said without looking up from the busy typing on the keyboard.

Zuiwo Hongchen was not surprised. He put down the documents and was about to leave when a man in the distance hurried over to him, holding a piece of paper. "Brother Chen, you've come just in time. This is the warehouse exchange list for this month. The other managers are not here. Please sign it."

"Okay." Zuiwo Hongchen smiled. The inventory work of the City Lord's Mansion's warehouse has always been presided over by the four branch presidents in turn. This week is not his turn, but they are all colleagues and the four of them are also good friends in private, so there is no need to make such a clear distinction. It is normal for them to sign for each other when they meet occasionally.

Zuiwo Hongchen took the paper and pen, glanced through the contents, and signed his name casually.

Just as he finished writing, Zuiwo Hongchen was suddenly startled and his gaze moved up again, back to a line on the list.

This is a record of exchanging Phoenix Fragments. Other unimportant items can be exchanged freely in the warehouse, but Phoenix Fragments are strategic resources, so the recipient's ID must be registered when exchanging them.

He actually recognized the registration ID of this receipt record: Qingyun Daotong 2547.

Is that the Taoist boy? !

"Thank you, Brother Chen!"

The visitor did not notice anything unusual about Zuiwo Hongchen. He watched him sign, said thank you, took the list back and prepared to leave.

"and many more!"

Zuiwo Hongchen hurriedly grabbed him, snatched the list, and pointed at the line on the list: "What's going on with this one?"

Zuiwo Hongchen's serious expression immediately alerted the staff. Could there be a mistake in one of the applications? As the warehouse manager, this was within his direct authority. If there were any extra props, he would be held responsible.

The staff hurriedly looked in the direction Zuiwo Hongchen pointed out, but after looking several times, they couldn't see anything unusual. They were confused and asked, "What's going on?"

"This person received the Phoenix fragment at the City Lord's Mansion this morning." Zuiwo Hongchen asked.

"Yes."

"He's still a 1 star!"

"What's so strange about 1 star?" The staff member smiled and felt relieved. It turned out that he was just struggling with the issue of applying for fragments for 1 star.

This was actually quite common, as bounty hunting was a profession that often made enemies. Many people, not wanting to reveal their identities, would deliberately use their alternate skins when exchanging items at the City Lord's Mansion. In his opinion, this Taoist child was clearly an alternate skin belonging to a veteran administrator.

He was drunk in the mortal world but still had a solemn expression on his face. He didn't know about others, but he was 100% sure that this Qingyun Taoist boy was a newcomer, because he had added this person as a friend, and there was still a small sprout icon on the other person's avatar, which was definitely not a smurf account.

A little bud came with a 3-star wanted order to claim the Phoenix fragment. There are only two possibilities.

First, he picked up the wanted poster, or someone gave it to him and asked him to collect the props on his behalf.

Second, he really contributed to this wanted warrant himself.

If it's the first case, it's fine, it makes sense, but if it's the second...

Zuiwo Hongchen couldn't think any further. He had been thinking about waiting and seeing if this person was worth the effort to recruit, but now he suddenly realized that he seemed to have seriously underestimated this person's ability.

If it is really the second case, for a newcomer who has reached this level, it is no longer something he can make the final decision on, and he must report to higher-ups.

"Sorry, I saw it wrong..."

Zuiwo Hongchen suddenly smiled, greeted the staff, and hurriedly left the City Lord's Mansion under the strange gazes of others.

When he arrived outside the City Lord's Mansion, Zuiwo Hongchen's smile instantly disappeared.

After a few seconds of silence, Zuiwo Hongchen opened his interface, found a person named 'Manjianghong' in his friend list, and sent a message: "Captain, are you free?"

The other party responded quickly.

【Man Jiang Hong: I’m free, what’s up?】

[Zuiwo Hongchen: There is something I need to tell you in person.]

[Man Jiang Hong: Oh, then come over, to Four Seasons Garden.]

Four Seasons Home is a real commercial building in Qingyang City. It was bought by Tianji Pavilion two years ago and has since served as Tianji Pavilion's base in reality.
