Hire little monsters in your dreams every day

Chapter 49 The beginning
call……

The night was still dark, and a cold wind was blowing.

Beside the stinking lake, a dozen or so minks were pushing a cart and waving spirit-detecting sticks, trying to capture the spiritual energy of pesticides.

"Waaaaah, aww aww aww..."

While pushing the cart, Diao Baibai chatted with Diao Quanquan... Recently, all the magical artifacts on the island have been searched out, and all the spiritual energy has been captured back. Only the pesticide spiritual energy in the stinky lake remains, which will soon be captured as well.

I wonder where the boss will take them next?
"Awooooo, whimpering..."

Mink Circle looked smug and pointed to the stinky lake... because of their vigorous development over the past few days, the water level of the stinky lake has dropped significantly, and except for a little bit of water in the center of the lake, the rest of the lake is covered with wet, slippery, grayish-brown mud.

"Waaaaah, woof woof woof!"

It was Blackie, who suddenly stopped moving, waving his front paws to signal his brothers to look at the center of the lake.

The minks that were nearby looked over and saw a pointed shape emerging from the dark water in the center of the lake.

It's as if something is stuck in the bottom of the lake, its pointed tip pointing towards the sky.

Several minks approached, craning their necks and staring wide-eyed.

"Waaaaah, waaaaah?"

...Is it a celestial artifact?
"Aww, waah!"

...But the boss said we're not allowed to enter this lake.

"Awoooooo?"

Mink Triangle pulled out the detector... but by this lake, the detector just bounced around randomly and couldn't make any accurate measurements.

The minks all shook their heads.

forget about it.

The first principle of a mink is to listen to the boss!

The boss forbids us from entering this lake, so we won't go in. We'll wait until the boss arrives to discuss everything.

The minks turned around to leave; it was almost breakfast time!

"Waaaaah waaaah?"

Only Mink Blackie was left, still looking at the pointed creature that had poked out of the lake... Could that be the immortal artifact that the boss had been looking for, something called a killing weapon?

The minks stopped in their tracks, looking at each other.

"Awoooo ...

Blackie was getting a little anxious. It looked at its brothers, then at the magical artifact, and gestured... It seemed to have noticed that the water level in the stinky lake had risen a little bit and was trying to rise back down.

The minks all understood what "Blackie" meant.

When the boss arrives, will the magical artifact be submerged back to the bottom of the lake?
Can it be removed again?

……

Blah blah blah...

The rain outside the window tinged the night with darkness.

Wu Yun sat in the study, feeling that the immortal peach in his stomach had been digested, and glanced at the register of immortal officials.

"My cultivation has reached four hundred years."

Time flies. Tonight is the final match, and the winner of the ninth-rank fruit position will be decided.

Wu Yun was sitting in a chair when he suddenly saw a notification pop up on his phone.

[The Non-Natural Department held a press conference...]

"Non-Natural Department?"
"Has this department decided to make a public appearance and face the public?"

Wu Yun clicked in and indeed saw a solemn and dignified venue.

A row of leaders sat upright on the platform, speaking into the microphone.

"...The recent extreme weather disasters and ecological anomalies that have persisted globally have drawn significant international attention. According to joint monitoring data from the National Climate Center and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, 47 countries worldwide have been hit by once-in-a-century rainstorms in the past 30 days, 23 countries have experienced super fog lasting for more than half a month, and the cross-border transport distance of dust storms has broken historical records..."

Only then did Wu Yun realize, "So it's not just our country?"

"...After joint research by scientists from multiple countries, it has been confirmed that this phenomenon is directly related to abnormal disturbances in the Earth's magnetosphere and drastic changes in the ionospheric energy field. However, in terms of the root cause, our department calls it, 'the revival of the celestial realm'..."

Hearing the words "the revival of the immortal realm" at such a high-profile and formal press conference, Wu Yun felt a bit out of place.

I wonder how many studies, discussions, considerations, and deliberations these four words went through before they made it to the news.

This press conference has already caused a huge uproar!

All the mainstream media outlets are reporting on it!

From east to west, from south to north, people of all ages and professions across the country are paying attention!

Wu Yun opened the "Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation" forum and saw posts scrolling by frantically.

Has the authorities decided to define this matter?

Wow, is this a declaration of war?

We are truly experiencing history this time.

I opened the "High-Quality Rich Second Generation" group again and saw the same messages scrolling by quickly.

Holy crap, even though I knew something was off, the official announcement still sent a chill down my spine.

Is a new era dawning? Can we still be rich?

[All countries around the world are holding press conferences simultaneously! My friend told me that countries like Japan, Australia, Japan, and Saudi Arabia are also holding them.]

"Wow, that's quite a commotion!"

Sitting in his study, Wu Yun felt as if he were witnessing history.

However, at the press conference, the top leader had already begun to explain the countermeasures.

"...Our department will continue to strengthen its organizational structure. We have already established a complete top-down management system, including provincial-level non-natural disaster management departments and municipal/county-level non-natural disaster management bureaus under our department. In the next phase, we will continue to improve the organizational structure, adding necessary agencies as needed to ensure full coverage of the emergency response network..."

More messages have surfaced in the group of high-quality rich second-generation individuals.

[Holy crap, look outside! There's something in the sky!]

What is this?

Is it a mirage?

Wu Yun peeked out the window and saw, through the dark rain curtain of night, the faint silhouette of a pale yellow temple floating in the distant sky. Its shape was simple and unadorned, radiating a warm light.

He quickly opened an umbrella, went out of the house, and came to the terrace.

With the eyesight of a high-ranking celestial official, he saw through the torrential rain and into the distant sky, where above the temple gate hung the words "City God".

A staircase hangs down from the temple entrance, one step at a time, descending to the ground.

Some people braved the heavy rain and climbed the steps one by one.

Li Nuanling sent a message in the group chat for high-quality rich second-generation individuals.

Don't panic, this is our deputy director taking office as the City God Immortal Official.

This method is reliable.

They gave us celestial official hats and a map of the City God, allowing us to choose our own officials to take up the positions.

[Moreover, it's not just Donghu City; in all 530 cities of our country, there are City Gods holding inauguration ceremonies.]

Blah blah blah blah...

The rain was getting heavier.

Wu Yun saw that the deputy director, who was thin, was climbing the steps. He walked up step by step, his back trembling and his shoulders shaking.

I wonder if he is afraid of heights?
I wonder if his feet were wet and slippery?
But he seemed to know how to deal with his fear of heights; he never looked down, only looked up.

Wu Yun returned to his room and heard the press conference still going on.

"...Our department will collaborate with relevant departments to accelerate the adaptive adjustment of the industrial structure. Focusing on the needs of routine extreme weather prevention and control, we will systematically plan the construction of industrial chains and technological breakthroughs in areas such as high-resistance crop breeding, special transportation equipment, high-performance engineering building materials, and specialized protective equipment..."
