The Black Book

Being poked into his guilty conscience, Bai Linglong felt inferior for the first time in his life, lowered his head and muttered.

"It's... it's silver."

"Ah? Only silver?"

There was a trace of disappointment in the words that the young man blurted out subconsciously.

Bai Linglong's proud self-esteem seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer, cracking open a cobweb-like gap, her cheeks instantly turned red, and her ears turned blood red.

Do you think everyone is as weird as you? !

Can it take a few months to achieve what others have achieved in decades or even hundreds of years? !

The speed of my progress is considered very fast even in Shen Tianzhi!

Why should I be humiliated by you? !

Clenching her fists, her nails dug into her flesh, the girl trembled all over, with countless words rolling in her chest.

Seeing the girl's eyes turning red and water glistening in her eyes, Zhu Haomiao realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly changed his words.

"Oh, that's amazing. In less than a year, you have jumped three levels in a row. You are indeed a genius!"

Hearing the boy's duplicitous words, Bai Linglong wiped her eyes fiercely, stared at him with red eyes, and faced her "inner demon" head-on.

"What about you? What's your current energy level?!"

"Uh... I'm just a little stronger than you..."

"A little bit? How much stronger is it?"

"Just...just the gold level, a little stronger, not much, really! You believe me!"

Under normal conditions...

After adding something silently in his heart, Zhu Haomiao looked at Bai Linglong with sincere eyes, his pupils filled with magnanimity.

Looking at the young man's clear and honest eyes, Bai Linglong blinked and frowned suspiciously.

"But I heard from Brother Xu that you already have combat power beyond ordinary hegemony."

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao angrily shouted righteously: "Huaixu's words are just for fun, he doesn't know anything about hegemony!"

Huaixu: "??!!"

Not far away, the young man who was about to report his work froze on the spot, then silently stepped aside and began to doubt his life.

The commander said this... there must be a reason...

Do I really not understand hegemony?

But I am the hegemon!

Looking at the purple and gold [Dragon Emblem] on his chest, Huaixu blinked in confusion.

On the other side, after being deceived by Zhu Haomiao, Bai Linglong regained his confidence and pursed his lips imperceptibly.

"I'm just saying, it's all God's destiny. How could the gap between us be so big..."

Hearing the girl's murmur, Zhu Haomiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that his most reliable tool would never recover.

"Ah, yes, yes! The gap between us is actually not that big. As long as you practice hard, sooner or later...sooner or later...Emmm..."

Halfway through his mindless compliments, Zhu Haomiao suddenly realized that he couldn't just lie, and was instantly embarrassed.

"Sooner or later? Can I catch up with you?"

Facing the girl's expectant questioning, Zhu Haomiao's facial features wrinkled up, and after a long silence, he patted her shoulder.

"Sooner or later I will become a pillar of the country."

"…………"

Sensing the boy's inexplicable change of subject, Bai Linglong instantly realized something and glared at him fiercely.

"I still can't catch up with you after a long time, right?"

"Well... I think it's easier to become a pillar of the country..."

"I am a pillar, so what are you?"

"I can tear down the beams of other countries."

"…………"

Seeing the boy's serious nonsense, Bai Linglong couldn't help but pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at him angrily.

But after such a gag by Zhu Haomiao, the inner demons in the girl's heart that had been causing her nightmares seemed to slowly break, and the terrifying shadow that had been hanging over her head gradually dissipated.

Yes... we are partners...

No one is afraid that one of their own will be too strong...

Putting aside his habitual competition and competitiveness, Bai Linglong corrected his mentality and suddenly felt relaxed.

On the other side, noticing the girl's emotional change, Zhu Haomiao took advantage of the heat.

"If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me and I will provide you with the best growth environment."

"By the way, this is the extraordinary food I made, which can provide you with huge spiritual nutrition..."

He took out a piece of delicious food that exuded aura of light from his bag and stuffed it into Bai Linglong's hand. Zhu Haomiao was caring and talking about it like an old mother.

Feeling that the other party was sincerely interested in her, Bai Linglong felt a sense of shame and lowered her head with a red face.

"I will work hard to practice."

"Well, I believe you."

Patting Bai Linglong's shoulder again, Zhu Haomiao gave her an encouraging look.

Come on, girl!

Silver is really useless!

Bai Linglong's fighting spirit was rekindled, and Zhu Haomiao found Huaixu, who was scratching his head crazily, with strange eyes.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"Uh, it's nothing. Commander, I just have something to report to you."

Changing the subject calmly, Huaixu began to report on his work.

"You mean, more and more pioneers from other countries are entering [Dazhen]?"

"Yes, traces of them have been found in various provinces. They specialize in attacking some lucky people and digging up their graves everywhere!"

When this was mentioned, Huaixu frowned in anger.

"Forget about digging up graves randomly. The key is to dig out some rice dumplings that can't be disposed of. Not only will everyone die, but people and animals will become extinct for dozens of miles around..."

After hearing this, Zhu Haomiao's mind was filled with questions.

"What are they digging graves for?"

"Looking for [real objects], which can be brought into the mausoleum by ancient dignitaries, the probability of finding [real objects] is very high, so these stray dogs are also called ghouls!"

"Uh... don't call them stray dogs, it will have a bad influence if it gets out, we are a country of etiquette."

Not all foreign pioneering teams are wanted criminals, many of them are legal and regular teams, as long as they don't attack the [Yanhuang Arsenal], they can freely "mine" in places without exclusive marks.

Of course, the premise is that you can't do it too much.

If it is the kind of destructive and violent "mining", which makes the sky angry and the people resentful, the local descenders will always find a reason to kill you!

Finally, only after the Qing Dynasty is branded with the [Imperial Seal] in the first heaven, this territory becomes a virtual extension of the real territory and is upgraded to an "exclusive economic zone", and the descenders from other countries cannot mine.

Therefore, digging graves is actually a good choice. Although it is immoral, it will not particularly stimulate the local descenders. At most, they will dig out some strange things and kill themselves.

Instantly, Zhu Haomiao inexplicably thought of the popular treasure hunting and tomb-robbing culture in the West, as well as the various novels, movies, games, etc. derived from it, and couldn't help but sigh.

Art comes from life...

On the other side, facing Zhu Haomiao's warning, Huaixu hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously.

"What if they dig out some important [real things]?"

"For example?"

"Real things of destiny or something like that..."

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao's eyes were stern and he frowned.

"We are a country of etiquette, and we hate digging up people's ancestral graves the most. This is the way to death, and there is no mercy!"

I worked overtime today, so the update is a little late, sorry.
