Mythology Management System

"A mission has arrived," Fu Jiu said in a deep voice, slightly annoyed.

The trial mission had just ended, and the system started causing trouble again, it seems they have no intention of letting them rest.

"A mission? What exactly does it refer to?" Li Si frowned, as if he had expected it.

There are no free lunches in this world. The Bureau of Mythology of the Heavens has given them so many favors, he simply doesn't believe they have no demands.

It's probably because they're too weak right now to know the true purpose of the Bureau of Myths and Gods. The truth will eventually come to light.

"Suppress all underground forces in Qingshui City within three months, including Zhanlong Pavilion, Yulongdao, and some other scattered forces."

After reading out the request, Fu Jiu's lips twitched. He had to admit that the system was truly remarkable. It immediately ordered the suppression of all underground forces. Although it wasn't too difficult, it was definitely not simple either.

Once this mission is completed, the next one will probably be to suppress the entire Qingshui City.

After a moment's thought, Li Si noticed the most crucial point: "There's still plenty of time, but to what extent should this 'suppression' be considered suppression? Should it be complete annihilation, or simply forcing the enemy to disband or submit?"

Fu Jiu was stunned for a moment, then immersed his consciousness in the system to seek answers. Not long after, the system's mechanical voice came over.

"Reporting to the host, whatever means the host uses, whether it is destruction or subjugation, as long as it prevents them from continuing to do evil, it is considered suppression."

"System reminder: The current task completion progress is 20%. The task is considered complete only when the completion rate reaches 95% or more."

Twenty percent complete? This was quite a pleasant surprise for Fu Jiu, presumably because he had dealt with the Black Dragon Society.

Fu Jiu immediately relayed the system's original words to Li Si and the others, and their reactions varied.

Bai Qi remained indifferent and said, "Further words are useless; it all boils down to one word: 'war'!"

The river god remained calm and collected, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Li Si pondered, "There's not a short time, and with our current strength, we might be able to do it."

"That's true," Fu Jiu remarked. Their strength was no longer as weak as before, and they had more confidence when they acted.

Fu Jiu summoned the Crystal Tree. After nearly a month of nourishment, the Crystal Tree had grown to about one meter tall, and its trunk was still crystal clear, more beautiful than the most dazzling gemstone in the world.

Fu Jiu had already revealed a little about the Crystal Tree to Li Si and Bai Qi, but at that time, due to the threat from the system, he could only release some vague information, allowing Li Si and Bai Qi to vaguely know of its existence.

The people in the arena were stunned when they saw the crystal tree, especially Li Si and Bai Qi. The thought that the Qi and Blood Fruit they usually consumed actually came from such a dazzling crystal tree sent a chill down their spines.

Indeed, the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they often are. If they hadn't known beforehand, they would never have imagined that the crystal tree in front of them, which was as beautiful as a work of art, was actually the secret treasure that absorbed the life force of living beings.

"Is this the secret treasure? It looks like a crystal sculpture." Li Si muttered to himself.

Why is this not what I imagined? Shouldn't evil treasures that absorb the life force of living beings look more imposing or ferocious?

Items like the Soul Refining Banner, the Ghost Head Blade, and the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade—aren't these all obviously evil treasures? Why doesn't this rule apply to this tree?

Forget about any sense of evil, this crystal tree in front of us doesn't have even a trace of evil energy. Instead, it looks more like a magical treasure from a celestial being. How can other evil-type treasures compare?

"Wonderful, wonderful..." Liu Bowen opened his folding fan and praised twice.

Li Si seemed to have guessed something, and frowned as he asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Fu Jiu didn't pretend to be mysterious. He shrugged and said, "We can't suppress those forces with just a few of us. We need to find some more help."

The River God is also at the fourth level, but his combat power is far inferior to that of a normal fourth-level expert.

To give an example, if Black Dragon and Wei Zheng are fourth-tier combat players, then River God is a fourth-tier life skill player; the two are not even on the same wavelength.

The most important thing about the River God is his ability to buff other people's weapons. As for his combat power, he's really not that strong, and Fu Jiu never had any expectations of him.

"Should we still seek Wei Zheng's assistance?" Bai Qi pondered, stroking his chin.

"It shouldn't be," Li Si shook his head.

“I bet that’s not what Fu Jiu meant. Don’t forget, this crackdown also includes the Dragon Slayer Pavilion. We might end up fighting next time we meet.”

“However…” Li Si seemed to recall some interesting plan.

“As long as we don’t say anything, Wei Zheng will definitely not know that we’re still plotting against them. We can cooperate with Wei Zheng and his group in the early stages, and then kick him aside once we’ve wiped out those miscellaneous forces.”

Did he start something and then abandon it? The River God glanced at Li Si meaningfully. Sure enough, this was the Li Si I knew.

Fu Jiu decisively rejected Li Si's suggestion: "The Dragon Slaying Pavilion is not our mortal enemy, so there is no need to offend it too much. Moreover, with Wei Zheng's shrewdness, he will naturally know what to choose when the time comes."

"As for helpers, we don't have any right now. But have you forgotten how we acquired our strength?"

Li Si's eyes lit up: "You mean... the Blood and Qi Fruit?"

“That’s right!” Fu Jiu affirmed.

"Given the terrifying power of the Qi and Blood Fruit, even an ordinary person could be turned into a third-tier cultivator in just a few months."

"If it's a first or second-tier cultivator, it's even simpler. As long as we have enough Qi and Blood Fruits, we can mass-produce third-tier cultivators!"

"hiss--"

Upon hearing this, even Bai Qi could not remain calm.

Mass production of third-tier cultivators? That sounds like wholesaling cabbages.

If this plan actually succeeds, they can go out with twenty or thirty third-tier henchmen, and even fourth-tier experts will have to kneel before them!

Liu Bowen was also quite interested. He knew about the existence of the Qi and Blood Fruit and had even tasted quite a few himself.

Unfortunately, his cultivation level was too high, and these low-level Qi and Blood Fruits had little effect on him. They would be more effective if they were Qi and Blood Fruits transformed from the Qi and Blood of a fourth or fifth-level demon beast.

Although it wasn't very useful, it allowed him to experience the wonder of the Qi and Blood Fruit.

In essence, consuming Qi and Blood Fruit is no different from cooking monster food; both involve refining the monster's Qi and Blood to strengthen oneself.

The advantage of consuming the Qi and Blood Fruit is that its refining effect is much stronger than that of eating monster food. Not only is the conversion rate incredibly high, but the digestion speed is also top-notch.

After eating monster food, you still have to spend a lot of time refining it, which is time-consuming and laborious. However, after eating the Qi and Blood Fruit, it can be converted into your own power in no time. This efficiency is terrifyingly fast!

Just like how others are still using diesel generators while they are already using nuclear power plants, and the kind that are 100% safe, the difference is significant.

"Can you guarantee their loyalty?" Li Si asked with some concern. He didn't want to raise a bunch of ungrateful wretches.

“Of course.” Fu Jiu nodded.

The system can automatically detect members who are hostile to him. Even if the newly recruited underlings can only be considered peripheral members, they are still part of the Bureau of Myths and Gods.

He can detect the hostility of any member, whether they are a full-time member, a probationary member, or an outsider.

The plan has been decided, and now it's time to find some suitable external members.
