Weird Apocalypse: Rebirth Starts with Trillions of Ghost Money

After discussing business, the atmosphere between the two parties became more relaxed.

Chen Mu asked about the books that the Lake of Fallen Gods had given to Cha Cha last time.

Zhao Xingyu stated that these were all ancient remnants. The Lake of Fallen Gods still possessed quite a few of those remnants.

If needed, you can bring a few more next time you come.

"Do you know what's written in these ancient books?" Chen Mu asked.

Zhao Xingyu shook his head. "I'm just a martial artist; I don't understand these things."

Chen Mu thought about it and agreed. Judging from Zhao Xingyu's behavior, he really didn't understand "literature" very well, nor did he know how to scheme. He was always completely outmaneuvered by Chen Mu.

"You've come from a long way, why don't you rest for a day before going back?" Chen Mu said.

"Coming and going back in one day is too tiring. Luckily, it's the off-season at the Luxury Resort, so there are plenty of rooms available. You can stay here for two days, and I'll cover all your food, drinks, and entertainment."

Faced with Chen Mu's warm invitation, Zhao Xingyu thought for a moment and then replied with a smile:

"Since Mr. Chen is so hospitable, I'd better accept his invitation. I'll take my brothers and eat at Mr. Chen's restaurant all day, and then head back tomorrow!"

Chen Mu laughed and said, "You won't go broke from eating or drinking. You can play for as many days as you like."

Chen Mu made this move to test the opponent's strength.

If Zhao Xingyu stays here to rest, then he will inevitably be unable to return in time and inform the Lake of Fallen Gods of the results of the negotiations.

If the Lake of Fallen Gods is in a hurry and eager to move forward, then it certainly hopes that Zhao Xingyu will bring back the news of the negotiations as soon as possible.

Therefore, Zhao Xingyu would politely decline Chen Mu's offer to stay.

Zhao Xingyu's decision not to refuse but to spend a day playing indicates that things aren't actually in a dire situation at the Lake of Fallen Gods.

Since we're only playing for one day, it means the time is a bit tight.

Chen Mu was 80% certain that Zhao Xingyu, with his intelligence, shouldn't have thought of this.

When Zhao Xingyu answered "whether to play or not," he was considering whether the Lake of Fallen Gods was in a hurry.

Therefore, Chen Mu used seemingly unrelated topics to test Zhao Xingyu's true bottom line through his weighing and judgment.

Chen Mu liked this trick; sometimes, if he asked someone directly, they would definitely try to cover it up.

However, if we change our perspective and transform the question into a seemingly unrelated topic, we can achieve a different outcome.

Others will, on the contrary, help you think honestly in your mind and give you the answer you want.

After chatting with Zhao Xingyu for a while, Chen Mu called the butler and asked him to take good care of Zhao Xingyu and his companions.

Chen Mu sat by the window, watching the butler lead Zhao Xingyu away.

When Chen Mu was the only one left in the restaurant, he put away his smile and began to think rapidly.

"Of the ten most bizarre scenarios, only one remains. And that last one is in space," Chen Mu muttered to himself.

"If I remember correctly, this strange scene should be a newspaper office."

According to the information from the "Extravagant Splendor" newspaper, the bizarre scene at this newspaper office is theoretically neutral, and may even be biased towards my side.

Challenging this bizarre scene shouldn't be too difficult.

After sorting out the matters concerning the watchtower over the river, we need to quickly find time to resolve this eerie scene.

As for the last mysterious gate, let's leave that for later.

Challenging the Ghost Gate is too risky, especially since I haven't figured out the Lake of Fallen Gods. If I rashly go to the Ghost Gate, I will sever my connection with Wangjiang Shouwang.

After completing the ten scenes, I will receive ten Hell Fragments, which I will store in my spatial ring.

That way, when I go to the last gate of evil, hell will be in my hands, and even the Supreme Being of the Evil Path will have something to fear.

Based on this arrangement, it should be the optimal solution at present.

Chen Mu was pondering his current situation.

First, resolve the issue of Wangjiang Shouwang, then go to the eerie scenes in space, return and solve the problem of the Lake of Fallen Gods, and finally challenge the Ghost Gate.

This arrangement should be feasible in terms of time and carries minimal risk.

However, things can change. Chen Mu was just making this arrangement for now to establish a general strategy.

If any unexpected events or emergencies occur later, Chen Mu is not rigid and will make adjustments accordingly.

After making strategic arrangements, Chen Mu recalled Zhao Xingyu's words of advice.

"Reorganizing military equipment...it really is time to do it. The current leaders of each branch of the armed forces were all chosen on the spot by me on a whim."

Everything is evolving. After such a long time, the types of troops are uneven, and the division of labor among personnel is also unclear.

Those who hold multiple positions, have overlapping roles, or whose abilities do not match their skills are all starting to run into problems.

Xiaoye, for example, took on too many responsibilities, keeping her extremely busy every day. When she first came to work for me, I promised her one or two hundred days of vacation every year, but I never had time to fulfill that promise.

These problems can all be solved at once.

Chen Mu was very proactive; he immediately contacted Xu Yueji.

Instruct Xu Yueji to inform the higher-ups of Wangjiang Watch to gather in Wangjiang City at 10:00 AM tomorrow. Chen Mu is about to conduct a large-scale personnel reshuffle.

Once these things are done, today's tasks will be completed.

Chen Mu is focusing on relaxing today and not thinking about specific things.

He went up to the terrace and looked at the sky outside, which was beginning to darken.

The light coverage in Wangjiang City is about 10% greater than it was a month ago.

As cities recover, high-rise residential communities are constantly expanding outwards.

Chen Mu noticed that high-rise buildings have now been built outside the boundaries of Wangjiang City.

This reflects population recovery and economic development.

Even amidst the bright lights, Chen Mu could sense that the fear and unease in people's hearts were gradually fading away.

Chen Mu lay on a deck chair on the terrace, took out his phone, and went online for the first time in a long time.

Currently, trending topics related to monsters and the apocalypse on the Wangjiang Watch Forum have begun to decrease.

Instead, there were more entertainment-related trending topics.

For example, the artist who wanted to make a film about watching over the Wangjiang River, his first film is about to be released.

As the first film shot after the bizarre apocalypse, it has naturally attracted a great deal of discussion and is already the number one trending topic.

This is a good thing, indicating that Chen Mu has indeed created a paradise in the apocalypse.

However, it's not all good news, especially now...

A crisis even greater than the "floods of all directions" is already beginning to emerge.

The employees of Wangjiang Shouwang, however, began to immerse themselves in peace.

No, we must instill a sense of urgency and crisis in Anning's river watchtowers.

At least we need to prepare everyone mentally so that they know that we are not in a completely peaceful and prosperous era.

As Chen Mu thought this through, a slight thought crossed his mind, and he began to formulate some plans.
