My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 308 The transaction is complete, and Xiao Zi's merits and vows have been crystallized!

When Li Wei arrived, Huang Tianyi was on high alert, as if facing a formidable enemy.

However, when Li Wei left, the two were already chatting and laughing. Huang Tianyi saw him off all the way to the door, and even after he was teleported away, he still seemed reluctant to part. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was seeing off an old friend, which surprised countless people.

The deputy director of the Department of Education walked up curiously: "Sir, Confucius and the great gods Wenchang and Wenqu specifically instructed that this person be driven away. You wouldn't actually confide in him, would you?"

"That's why I'm the director and you're the deputy director. I'm acting like this now to put on a show for others, to lull Li Wei into a false sense of security! If we can make him lower his guard, wouldn't our next task be much easier?"

Looking at the awe in his subordinates' eyes, Huang Tianyi was initially delighted, but then couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Li Wei is a man who knows the rules.

Unfortunately, the true God has decreed that we can only be enemies, not friends!
Zhang Li, who was in the Thunder Department, had been keeping an eye on Li Wei's information ever since he decided to go all the way down this path. So when he heard about the situation at the Selection and Teaching Department, he immediately went to Lei Yanzi to report it.

Lei Yanzi shook his head: "Li Wei and Huang Tianyi are enemies, not friends. They would never collude with each other! As for you, instead of wasting your time here, you should continue to keep an eye on Kong Miaodan!"

These past few days have passed, and he has already made plans to deal with Kong Miaodan. Whether he can regain face this time depends on the next few days.

Meanwhile, Li Wei, upon returning to the Thunder Department, immediately dismissed everyone, leaving only Mi Hongzhi to accompany him into the office.

"Your Excellency the Inspector, could you please tell me what you actually did at the Ministry of Education this time?" Mi Hongzhi knew Li Wei all too well; she didn't believe that he had only gone there to drink tea.

Li Wei smiled slightly and took out a USB drive, placing it on the table: "We've been lucky this time, obtaining some evidence of the Department of Education's crimes. However, the origin of this information is difficult to explain, so I'll have to trouble you to investigate from other angles and gather as much evidence as possible!"

As the center of the human realm, Zhongzhou's system firewall is naturally extremely powerful, and only deities who cultivate the sacred path of education can intrude. Therefore, if Li Wei directly presents these pieces of evidence, it will definitely arouse unnecessary suspicion.

Even the Supreme Emperor Haotian, when he wanted to frame an opposing force, had to use the collapse of the Dragon Transformation Realm as a pretext and prepare a complete set of evidence.

With so many people watching Li Wei now, he naturally has to carefully prepare evidence, leaving no room for error, so that he can wipe out all the corrupt officials in the Zhongzhou City Education Bureau once and for all!
"I knew you wouldn't do anything pointless, so leave the rest to me!"

Ordinary people investigate cases by tracing clues step by step, but now Li Wei has already presented the correct answer to her. If she still can't figure it out, she might as well just kill herself.

However, after picking up the USB drive, Mi Hongzhi suddenly brushed a strand of short hair behind her ear and asked inexplicably, "By the way, didn't you recruit Bai Jie to be your secretary this time?"

Speaking of this, Li Wei felt somewhat speechless and said, "She said she needs to go to the hospital for surgery first, and then she can properly perform her duties as a secretary, and I can use her as I please afterward."

A hint of resentment, which she herself did not notice, flashed in Mi Hongzhi's eyes. She rushed forward and began to tear at Li Wei's flesh.

"What are you doing?"

"I haven't eaten meat in ages! I haven't had a chance to use my title of Forbidden Gourmet. Let me eat my fill first!"

"You can eat all you want, but what's with all this clenching your teeth at me here?"

"Hmph! Can't I grind my teeth?" Mi Hongzhi chewed up Li Wei's bone and swallowed it, but she was still not satisfied. She actually overestimated herself and touched his hellish curse mark.

The pain was ten or even a hundred times greater than before.

Mi Hongzhi tensed up instantly, then collapsed onto Li Wei as if in a daze, her pleasure amplified by the torment of endless pain.

Li Wei stared speechlessly at his pants.

"Damn it!!! You pervert, if you want to suffer next time, can you at least put on a diaper first?"

Mi Hongzhi was unable to speak and lay on the ground convulsing. She was unlikely to recover anytime soon.

Helpless, Li Wei could only toss her onto the sofa, then turned around and used his spiritual power to dry his clothes while contacting Xiao Zi: "How are your negotiations with the Dark Web Great Sage and the Great Sage Bo Xun going?"

"The Dark Web Sage says that He and you are no longer in a cooperative relationship, so if you want Him to help you launder money, you have to offer more substantial benefits!"

A hint of a smile flashed in Li Wei's eyes, and he said confidently, "In that case, go and ask Him next."

The dark web is eager to see what conditions Li Wei will use to convince them.

More precisely, He wanted to see if this kid had more fun to offer in return.

But unexpectedly, He ended up having a good time himself!

"Great Sage of the Dark Web, my master asked me to ask you, do you still want to succeed in the unified examination for advancing to the Nascent Soul stage?"

The dark web was speechless for a moment, then laughed and said: [Hahaha! This kid even managed to find out something like this?]

Although His direct contact with Li Wei had been severed, He had been secretly monitoring Li Wei's movements and knew that he had recently been appointed as the Xuanzheng Inspector of the Thunder Department of Zhongzhou.

But their actions this time were extremely secretive. Unless it was a true god descending to earth, it should have been impossible for the mortal world's laws and the power of cultivators to discover them.

However, there were many surprising things about this kid, so after the initial shock, Dark Web quickly recovered and told Xiao Zi about His and Mara's plan in detail, so that she could pass it on to Li Wei.

[There are countless people secretly watching you right now, and it's inconvenient for me to make contact, so I shouldn't have told you about this. But now that you've found out, I won't hide it from you anymore.]

[That's right! We plan to kidnap a group of top-tier Golden Core cultivators to strengthen the cultivation foundation of the Blissful Demon Land!]

The conflicts between us and the Heavenly Court are escalating, and a major war is expected soon. Training new cultivators on short notice is probably too late, so we urgently need a fresh force!

[If you're willing to help, I'll talk to Bo Xun about laundering your money and I guarantee it'll be taken care of. But you also have to give us some help, for example,] "The access accounts of the three deputy directors of the Education Department and the seven inspectors, is that enough?"

Even if the Heavenly Dao 0.91 panel is overpowered enough, the Law System of the Chosen Church is not just for show. Being able to steal so many account permissions in such a short time is already the limit.

This indeed stunned the Dark Web. After much thought, it could only come up with one explanation: Did the Heavenly Emperor Shanghao grant him these account privileges? Was Shanghao planning to further weaken Zhongzhou? Or was this a trap specifically designed to target the Great Sage?

It's not that the dark web is being cautious; this whole thing just doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it.

Furthermore, now that Li Wei has gone to Cao Cao's camp, if the Heavenly Emperor and others knew the whole truth, they might have already secretly influenced Li Wei's mind, or even turned him into a puppet.

Therefore, we must be cautious.

Countless thoughts raced through Dark Web's mind, but he remained discreet during his conversation with Xiao Zi: "Okay, but we need to verify it first!"

He is about to call people!

There's still so much fun to be had in the dark web, and He doesn't want to get himself killed before he's seen it all!
So soon...

The three troublemakers, Demon King, Heavenly King, and Peaceful King, received a communication from the dark web and immediately gained access to the ten accounts of the Central Continent Election Bureau.

[These accounts have no issues with their permissions! My Heavenly Demon has also been monitoring all the gods, and so far, I haven't detected any deity's mind leaving the Heavenly Court.]

[Great Sage Equaling Heaven, where are you over there?]

[I have already checked the spacetime mask in Zhongzhou City and found no trace of any deity descending to earth. Unless there is a special vulnerability on their end, it is impossible for them to escape my observation.]

[Then we still can't rule out the possibility of a trap. Let's notify the other Great Sages and have them intensify their attacks on the Heavenly Court, or prepare to support us! This advancement exam... looks like we'll have some fun again!]

About ten minutes later, Li Wei received a reply from Xiao Zi.

"The masters have already agreed to help you launder money, but the private schools in Zhongzhou are already full, and they don't accept foreign investment at all. So, the Great Sage Bo Xun suggests that if you really want to develop the foundation of education, you might as well try opening a public school."

"But public schools are hard to get into, aren't they?"

"The truth is quite the opposite! In Zhongzhou City now, it's actually private schools that are having a hard time running!"

"The Great Sage Bo Xun said that education is one of the most profitable businesses, and Zhongzhou City is the most lucrative. So, back in the previous version, various private schools had already engaged in a fierce battle to attract students by throwing money at the problem, and had snatched up all the students from the public schools in Zhongzhou City!"

"At the time, the Immortal Prefecture introduced many preferential policies to balance educational resources and prevent private schools from dominating the market. Unfortunately, they still couldn't win against the private schools, and as a result, the educational resources of Zhongzhou City were completely monopolized by private schools!"

"Although times have changed, the preferential policies from back then have been retained. And don't forget, Master, the Ministry of Education was only established after this Emperor took office. These guys don't have many places to make money to begin with, so why would they give up such a big piece of meat?"

"Therefore, the Education Selection Department has introduced many preferential rules in recent years to encourage the opening of public schools in an attempt to break the education monopoly in Zhongzhou City. Unfortunately, everyone is afraid of the power behind private schools, so no one has opened public schools."

"Setting up a public school will be very easy if you're not afraid of offending people!"

"And most importantly, the Great Sage Mara said: The Holy Way is for the public good, while private teaching is for profit. Therefore, public education is the orthodox path. If we want to rebuild the foundation of education, the best thing to do is to start with the orthodox path!"

Li Wei grinned immediately: "Then there's no problem! Let's do it the way Mara the Great Sage wishes."

Unexpectedly, those who ended up running public education on the Celestial Planet were actually the group of heretics and evil spirits in the eyes of the Heavenly Court, along with Li Wei, that traitor.

All I can say is, this is truly worthy of being called the Heavenly Court!

"So the next crucial matter is this unified examination for Nascent Soul advancement permits. What are the plans of the Dark Web Great Sage and the Great Sage Bo Xun?"

After taking a deep breath, Xiao Zi said, "Master, do you still remember the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm? This unified examination was also held in a similar secret realm or cave world, and what the Great Sages wanted to do was to directly seize this cave world!"

"And you will become the hero who saves the cave! They will leave a special path for you, allowing you to lead a group of people away, and incidentally send a batch of evil demons on the verge of madness to be killed by you!"

"What you need to do now is to think about the news announcement in advance! And while you're at it, think about what kind of crime you should charge these priests who have lost their celestial abodes with."

Li Wei sighed helplessly, "Isn't this a bit too much for them?"

Perhaps it was because she had cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, but Xiao Zi suddenly began to empathize with the children earning money as billboards on the street, so she said through gritted teeth:
"Damn it! Every single one of these guys from the Election Commission should be sent in!"

"The infants of this Central Plains will be protected by me, Lord Little Purple!"

Brush brush!
Suddenly, tiny golden rays of light descended silently from nothingness, swirling around Xiao Zi and forming crystalline particles.

? ? !

"Is this... the crystallization of merit and vows?"

Moreover, it's a crystallization of Xiao Zi's own merits and vows!
This left not only Li Wei stunned, but even the Heavenly Dao 0.91 system was dumbfounded.

Oh no!

You, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, do you really intend to become a god on your own?!
