Please call me CyberGhost King

Chapter 328 The real hero

Chi Tong nodded. At least this reason sounded very noble. Besides, she would use her own eyes to see whether it was true or not.

"Thank you, Devil, for being willing to answer my questions."

Chi Tong thanked Ke Ling politely. She actually knew very well that Ke Ling had no obligation to explain anything for her and the expedition team did not need her, but Ke Ling still gave her enough respect and even insisted on giving her an imperial weapon in return.

Chi Tong is not stupid either, she can still feel Ke Ling's kindness, and she personally has a very good impression of Ke Ling.

Chi Tong was very willing to believe Ke Ling, and believed that everything Ke Ling did was for humanity, to make everyone's life better.

The reasons for this almost blind belief come from many aspects, including the glorious deeds that Ke Ling has successfully accomplished.

The ability to quickly end the empire's rule, quickly incorporate the revolutionary army and An Ning Dao, and allow the empire to complete the change of dynasty at an extremely fast speed made Chi Tong full of confidence in Ke Ling.

The title of [Emperor of Mankind] is still gaining momentum!

A high charm value itself makes it easy for people to like him. In addition, what he does is to his liking, and they have fought side by side before. It can be said that Ke Ling's favorability UP conditions with Chi Tong are fully met, and it is basically in a state of automatic increase.

"You're welcome. Everything will get better."

Ke Ling smiled, left a few words, and then disappeared into the shadows. He was not in a hurry to take down Akame immediately. This kind of thing could not be rushed. He had to proceed step by step so that the other party could accept it, just like when he treated Tatsumi.

Ke Ling came to the "Shadow Realm" and to the outskirts of the "Shadow City". Tatsumi and his friends' new village was built on the outer layer of the core circle, a little distance away from the research center full of laboratories because there were some other buildings around their village.

The new village has been completed and the houses have been built. The construction team is very efficient and works day and night. After all, they are real "oxen and horses" who don't even need to rest and work non-stop just to complete the task quickly.

The planning of the village was entirely the responsibility of Xiaoyou. Instead of building a bunch of ancient castles and manors, they built very modern small buildings, six or seven-story buildings. The entire village was inhabited by just a few buildings. The population of Tatsumi and his village was not large.

These villagers have only one job, which is to grow crops and raise animals. Of course, they don’t farm or graze, but take care of the crops and animals in various nurseries and breeding rooms.

Crops are planted and grown in places like sunrooms and hydroponic rooms, with the main focus on science and advancement. Of course, this is also because many rules of the current "shadow world" are not perfect and cannot support a complete ecological cycle well.

As for the poultry and livestock, there is no need to worry too much. The feed they eat is all carefully cultivated, or some by-products that no one eats. In short, all you need to do is take them for a walk and feed them. It is an easy job.

These farms and breeding rooms are all public assets of "Shadow City" and are uniformly distributed by government departments after the harvest.

Because of Xiaoyou's supervision, this rationing system is not afraid of any trouble. After all, those who have power are naturally endowed with the right to distribute.

At the beginning, many people were not convinced, but after being educated, they obediently accepted Xiaoyou's arrangements.

Now that "Shadow City" has been officially established and has selected its own leadership team, Xiaoyou has retreated directly behind the scenes, but he has not let go of some key things and is still keeping a close eye on them. Food rationing is one of them. After all, food is the most important thing for the people, and this thing really cannot be messed with.

As soon as the new government of "Shadow City" was established, it immediately formulated a plan to expand the scale of planting and breeding, which won them applause.

There is no way. At this stage, the food in "Shadow City" has only barely achieved self-sufficiency and has just escaped the situation of needing relief. It is naturally impossible to say how rich the food is, not to mention how rich the variety is.

These research giants naturally couldn't stand this situation, but they would feel even more embarrassed if they had to continue to accept relief, so they still had to make their city prosperous and make everything in "Shadow City" self-sufficient.

These people have lived in "Shadow City" for some time. The official establishment of the city has reduced the confrontations, and people have gradually formed a unified sense of city identity. The entire city now hopes that "Shadow City" can become better.

This is especially true for the municipal government. These newly relocated citizens have given the municipal government hope. They want to continue to expand the size of the city and fill its population. There is still a lot of space in the shadow world to accommodate more people, and if they want people, they naturally have to continue to expand food production.

"It's great, this carefree life."

Tatsumi is very satisfied with the current situation of the village, because life here is so comfortable. Those researchers who are used to a life of luxury feel that the living standards in "Shadow City" need to be improved, but these newly moved in refugees do not think so.

They feel that life here is so happy. They can get sufficient and diverse food every day. The work is also very easy. The most important thing is that as long as they abide by the law, they don’t have to worry about their lives being in danger. There will be no soldiers or bandits who will suddenly attack them.

This place is truly a paradise on earth, so they all work very hard and no one wants to be kicked out.

"Tazmi."

Ke Ling suddenly appeared and came to Tatsumi's side, which made Tatsumi look surprised, as if he had seen a savior.

"Mr. Devil! You are finally here. Are you going to take us to save the empire?!"

Tatsumi is already ready to take action. Everyone in the village has settled down, and he and his companions can't wait to go into battle and kill the enemy.

"Uh, cough, cough, no need. The empire has been saved."

Ke Ling was a little embarrassed, then he explained and asked if their village should move back to the empire. Although the empire would still carry out in-depth reforms, which might cause some unrest, it was generally in a stable state. Even if there was unrest, the central government could quickly quell it.

"what?"

The Tatsumi people were stunned. How long has it been? How many months? How come the progress is so fast?! The empire is over?! Lord Devil has become the new emperor?! What happened during the time they moved?!
For some reason, Tatsumi really felt like they had been away from the world for a long time. How come everything had changed so much?!
"I'll go ask the village chief and the others!"

Although Tatsumi was very shocked, he still couldn't make a decision as to whether to go back or not.

"Go."

Ke Ling said, he waved his hand and watched Tatsumi run away quickly. After a while, the boy ran back.

"No! We all like life here!"

Tatsumi said this as a matter of course. He thought it was normal. Compared with the hard days of survival in the empire, life here was so happy. Although Ke Ling said that the empire had stabilized and everything was getting better, no one wanted to struggle anymore. Isn't life here good?
"Okay, so be it."

Ke Ling nodded, not surprised, and then he talked about the real purpose, which he just mentioned casually. "I do!"

Tatsumi spoke very firmly. Ke Ling had just briefly stated the price of becoming his "elect", but Tatsumi didn't care about it at all. He believed in Ke Ling, was grateful to Ke Ling, and was willing to give his life for Ke Ling.

"This boy"

Looking at the sincere little guy in front of him, Ke Ling didn't know what to say. He could only say that he was worthy of being the passionate male protagonist of Yasasi. The more subordinates like him, the better.

Ke Ling converted Tatsumi without hesitation. This child was definitely a loyal and crazy fan. It can only be said that this kind of simple-minded child was too easy to control.

After a while, Tatsumi's transformation was complete, and as expected, Ke Ling also gained a special trait from him.

[True Hero: When fighting to protect others, your potential will be greatly stimulated, and all attributes will be increased by 10%. When you are in danger to protect others, all attributes will be increased by 20%. When you risk your life to protect others, all attributes will be increased by 50%.]

"hiss!"

When seeing this special trait called [True Hero], Ke Ling couldn't help but take a deep breath. Is this the legendary essential skill for the protagonist?

I can only say that he is worthy of being Tatsumi. He lived up to his heroic act of dying to save the people of the imperial capital in the anime version. The male protagonist who actually died in battle to save others is indeed worthy of being called a "true hero" and will be praised forever.

"Tatsumi, you're great. Keep it up. I'm rooting for you."

Ke Ling patted Tatsumi's shoulder with satisfaction and praised him so much that Tatsumi felt a little embarrassed. He didn't do anything, so how could he deserve such praise?

"Call Iyeas and Shayou. If you still want to join the army, now is your chance. The empire's journey continues."

Ke Ling continued to say that he planned to let Tatsumi and the others go and see for themselves and follow the main force to participate in these wars of annihilation.

"Great!"

Tatsumi had been waiting for this day for a long time, and he immediately went to find Iyeas and Sau. His two companions were also very excited, as they had finally waited for the opportunity to help, and they had been bored in the village.

Ke Ling didn't say much. He took the three of them directly to the expeditionary camp, and then handed the three children to Brand. Brand was a capable guy, and Tatsumi and Iyeas would definitely grow up under him.

As for Shayou, this girl can just follow along and play a supporting role. Brand is not suitable to teach her. It would be good for her to train with Akato. Leone, Maine, and Hill can hardly help. After all, they have not received systematic training, unlike Akato who has been training day and night since childhood.

"Please rest assured, I will definitely teach them well."

Brand took the order seriously, thinking that these children must have something extraordinary to be sent by the emperor himself. He did not think they were related. These three children looked very simple and honest, and did not seem to have any relationship with the emperor.

"You can figure it out."

Ke Ling nodded, but did not interfere too much. Brand was an upright man, and he would not engage in those official routines. At most, he would pay more attention to these three little guys, but it would not be said that they were given special care, even if they were sent by the Divine Emperor.

"Come on, let me test your level first."

Brand was very direct. He wanted to test the abilities of the three little ones right away so that he could decide what to do with them.

"it is good!"

Tatsumi and the other two were very excited and followed Brand out of the tent. After looking at each other, they decided to let Tatsumi go into battle first.

"come together."

Brand laughed and asked the three children to attack together. He was very confident in himself and would not be stumped by the three children. Even if he did not use the imperial weapon [Devil Haunted·Operation Armor], he was not someone that ordinary people could defeat.

Ke Ling was watching from the side, feeling a bit like Kakashi fighting Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. Of course, the characters were only somewhat similar in configuration, but their personalities and thoughts were completely different.

"Let's go together!"

Tatsumi and the other two were honest and did not feel looked down upon. They now understood that they had the opportunity to fight against Brand only because of Ke Ling. They had previously joined the army in the imperial capital but did not even have the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities.

The battle ended quickly. The three children rushed forward and fought Brand head-on. After just a few rounds, they were easily knocked down by Brand without even breaking a sweat.

Compared with Brand, the strength of Tatsumi, Iyeas and Shayu is indeed a little bit inferior, mainly because they have too much less combat experience and were completely fooled. Of course, Brand is also far ahead in physical fitness. This guy is a muscular man.

"Too immature."

Brand gave his evaluation. Of course, he could also see that these three children had a good foundation and a promising future.

"It's not over yet!"

Tatsumi still did not give up and launched an attack on Brand once again. This time he really tried his best. He had no intuitive understanding of Brand's strength just now and had held back some strength. Naturally, he didn't need to hold back now.

After being defeated so easily, with Ke Ling still watching from the side, Iyeas and Shayou couldn't help but blush.

"Don't underestimate us!"

The two of them also tried their best. The three children were all kind-hearted. They held back their strength the first time they fought for fear of hurting others, so they all felt that they did not perform well.

This time, the three men who fought with all their strength still did not cause any trouble to Brand, but they did hold out for a long time longer, allowing Brand to have a more complete understanding of their strength.
