Chapter 37: Wanzhu Bounty Looking at Gu Yunli who was lost in thought, the inspector smiled and comforted him: "My dear brother, you don't have to worry. Ao Hai is just a small-time bully who dares not leave Old Candle Mountain.""As for the Cui family's grandmother, she may seem like a covetous creature, but in reality she is just a rat crossing the street. She dares not show her face in public. Otherwise, there would be many people who would want to chop off her head and claim the reward." "Besides, my dear brother was only at the spiritual level at the beginning, but he was able to hurt this old fox. Now that he has climbed the stairs and pretended to be dirty, what is there to be afraid of?" Gu Yunli was stunned when he heard this, but suddenly he realized that he was being too stubborn. He was afraid of Ao Hai. Could Ao Hai do anything to him? He is the master of the Internet and a local tycoon who relies on the county lady. How dare he break up with the county lady and leave Laozhushan for the sake of a subordinate? Thinking of this, Gu Yunli wiped away his worry and said with a smile: "Brother He is right. I am just worrying too much." The inspector laughed and said, "Speaking of which, I have a friend who is a martial arts expert. He has already reached the fifth level of Qi Refining and has admired you for a long time. Would you like me to invite him over to protect you?" Gu Yunli raised his eyebrows and waved his hands, saying, "Forget it, forget it. I cannot afford to have such a master condescend to me!" The patrol officer smiled and said no more. It’s not that Gu Yunli had never thought about hiring a bodyguard, but after thinking about it, he gave up! The reason is simple. In this world, only your own strength is trustworthy. No one else can be relied upon. Bodyguards are good, but human hearts are unpredictable. If there is malicious intention, it is hard to guard against it.
However, after the patrol officer's reminder, he had already thought of a way to solve the problem once and for all. Afterwards, Gu Yunli patiently accompanied the inspector for a while, talked about next month's dividends, and then politely saw the inspector off. …… In front of the underground palace, Gu Yunli watched the inspector leave and turned back to the mansion. He happened to see Nie Tai, who had been following him like a transparent man, and said with a half-smile: "Nie Guardian, you reported your meritorious service, but I turned a deaf ear to it. Do you have any complaints?" Upon hearing this, Nie Tai bowed his hands with a face full of shame and said, "My disciple acted rashly and almost alerted the enemy. I regret it now. How dare I complain!" Gu Yunli nodded and asked casually, "Tell me about your ability to [identify objects by scent]." "Yes!" Upon hearing this, Nie Tai immediately told every detail of his innate magical powers. It turned out that when he was born as a human, he was a clerk in a pawnshop. After his death, he awakened this innate magical power for some reason. Since then, he has been relying on this magical power to do some small business in the underworld by buying low and selling high, until he was recruited by Bu Shansheng. After listening to this, Gu Yunli paused for a moment and said, "I am in need of a purchasing servant. Are you willing to stay?" Nie Tai was overjoyed: "Disciple is willing." Gu Yunli nodded, flicked out a wisp of incense with his fingers, and said, "You've been tired all day, go down and rest early. I'll call you if there's anything." "Yes, Lord Gu." Nie Tai bowed and waited for Gu Yunli to leave. He could no longer control his emotions. He subconsciously clenched his fists, his brows raised with joy. Not long after, the underworld messenger Zhao Mancang came over, bowed with a smile on his face and said: "Congratulations, Brother Nie, you have won the favor of Grand Master. You have a promising future!" "Congratulations, I'm new here, I'm clueless, I need your guidance, brother Zhao." "It's easy to talk about."
Chatting and laughing, the two went away together. Under Zhao Mancang's arrangement, Nie Tai officially left Yun'entang and settled down in the Tian'an Underground Palace. Although the room was simple, Nie Tai was very excited. He tried to sit in meditation several times, but he was too excited to calm down. My heart is full of longing for the future. When I toss and turn, I just go online to calm my restless mind. In other words, since the Internet came out, he has spent one or two hours surfing the Internet almost every day. Especially the community section, where you can know what is happening in the world without leaving your home, which is really a magical skill! Even though he knew that most of the things had nothing to do with him, he couldn't resist his curiosity and climbed up to take a look. Occasionally, when arguing with others, I could even get so angry that I would fuss and the argument would last the entire day. If it were in reality, he would never dare to do this. As for the Internet, who can do anything to him across the network? "Hey, this is it?" When Nie Tai entered the community section, he saw the new pinned post at a glance. When I saw the poster, I gasped. The person who posted the message was none other than Mr. Gu! ——【Top】·【Featured】·【Behead the fox demon Cui Qionglan, and receive 10,000 incense sticks as reward, which will be deposited into your account immediately】 Nie Tai blinked his eyes, quickly clicked on the post, and scanned it. Only one thought remained in his mind: Is Mr. Gu crazy? The content of the post, in a harsh tone, angrily denounced Cui Qionglan, the grandmother of the Cui family, for disregarding the immortal rules, attacking and killing the officials of the immortal court, and causing chaos in the earth veins of Tian'an! At the same time, it was announced that anyone who logged into the Internet and killed Cui's grandmother while the list was being posted would immediately have to pay 10,000 incense sticks, and the information would be kept secret forever afterwards. At the end of the post, the personal information and magical powers of Grandma Cui were listed in detail. Nie Tai was shocked when he saw the last sentence "keep it secret forever". This is clearly a hint for Ao Hai's subordinates to take action! After all, there is no need to go to the City God to claim the reward. As long as you keep your hands clean, no one will be able to find out. The question is, isn’t Lord Gu afraid of angering Ao Hai by doing this? Nie Tai couldn’t figure it out, but that didn’t stop the carnival on the Internet! "As expected of Taoist Yunli, what a generous move!" "A reward of 10,000 incense sticks is extremely rare in Yong County's history!" "It is said that the annual incense offerings in Tian'an Village are less than 300 yuan. Is Taoist Yunli so rich?" "Otherwise, why would the county lord endorse it?" "My broadsword is thirsty!" "Go ahead! I want to see whether your knife is harder or Ao Hai's pool is deeper." "What a joke! Ao Hai, that coward, just relied on the cold pond that leads directly to the sea to get the title of Ninth Rank Dragon King. If he dares to step forward, it would be a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone!" "Tsk tsk, maybe there is a big boss behind this." It’s not a big deal to watch the fun! All of a sudden, countless people who had been trained by Gu Yunli's navy emerged. What's more, some people are already calling for hunting teams. Seeing this makes some people who are new to the Internet feel excited and eager to try it out.
"Old demon fox, I want to see if you can escape the evil hearts of the devils." Gu Yunli, who casually posted under the pseudonym of a water army to add fuel to the fire, sneered in his heart at the crazy top posts. Today, after being reminded by the inspector, he realized that his mentality has not yet changed from the "livelihood" path. In fact, with the Internet in his hands, he has already mastered a powerful weapon. Be low-key when you should be low-key; When it's time to show your edge, you also have to strike hard. Strike once to avoid a hundred blows. Otherwise, anyone would dare to bully him, what would happen? This bounty order is meant to tell those with bad intentions that they should think twice before they proceed to harm him. "Dong dong dong..." A knock on the door interrupted Gu Yunli's reply. "The Dragon King of Dafangtangchi pays homage to Master Gu!" "come in!" Chi Longwang gently pushed open the door and said with a smile on his face, "May I ask, Master Gu, when will the weather forecast section be online? What preparations should I make?" He looked so impatient, fearing that Gu Yunli would go back on his word. Gu Yunli smiled and said, "Don't worry. This is a matter of teamwork. Let's try it out for a few days. Once everything is on track, we'll open it to the public. Open the Internet first and I'll pull you into the advance version." Gu Yunli already had a plan for the weather forecast. The implementation plan is also very simple. You only need to authorize some terminal accounts and have the ability to upload data. The only trouble was that this was his first time forming a project team in another world. Although they only needed to enter data every day, he was still a little worried. After all, the generation gap is too big. So he planned to run a trial operation for a few days, with the weather forecast content only displayed on internal test user terminals, and then make it public after everything was running smoothly. King Chi Long was quite intelligent. After Gu Yunli taught him two or three times, he learned it quite well. Next, he only needs to teach his team members to upload data on time every day. He is mainly responsible for supervising the assessment and enjoys hundreds of incense sticks every month. The reward may not seem like much, but it is far more than what he usually earns. In addition, he has a good job, so he has no worries about making extra money. Therefore, after learning how to operate the backend, Chi Longwang happily set up a team. The next day, Chi Longwang sent a draft list. Gu Yunli approved it.
On the third day, the Internet advance version of the weather forecast was launched. The Dragon King of Chi seemed quite concerned. There was no problem with the advance version, but Gu Yunli modified some details after checking the page. For example, in addition to text display, weather forecasts are often set as animated images to make it easier for ordinary people to recognize. During the subtle adjustments, the button for unveiling the reward in Gu Yunli's bounty order was suddenly activated. "So fast?" Gu Yunli was shocked, and his mind followed the data to take a look at the first assassination scene. …… …… There is a cold pond deep in Laozhu Mountain. This is something that everyone in the spiritual world of Yong County knows. But few people know that deep in the cold pond, there is an ice palace. The Cui family's grandmother transformed herself into a young woman, walked barefoot on the freezing ice bricks, and walked into the center of the palace with her eyebrows lowered. "My name is Cui Qionglan, I pay my respects to the Dragon King of Youtan." "Get up!" At the end of the hall, on a throne made of ice, sat a handsome young man, his brocade robe unable to cover the dark blue scales around his neck. "You went to assassinate Taoist Yunli?" "I don't dare." "I dare not. Then why did Taoist Yunli issue a bounty order for your head?" "what?" Grandma Cui suddenly looked up with a look of disbelief on her face. "May I ask, Dragon King, is this true?" "You can find out by searching online." "This prayer technique originated from Taoist Yunli. I dare not do it." "Haha, you don't dare to go online, but you dare to do bad things. Is a disciple so important?" Grandma Cui fell to her knees with a plop, her face filled with fear and uneasiness. After a while, she said in a trembling voice: "Cui Yuan is my most outstanding descendant. He inspired the Nine-Tailed Fox bloodline. I am unwilling to accept this. I... hate it!" The hall fell silent. "The Taoist Yunli has issued a bounty order, with a reward of ten thousand incense sticks. I'm afraid Old Candle Mountain is no longer safe for you. Let's part ways in peace. Leave here and go to a place without the Internet."
Ao Hai's voice softened. The Cui family's grandmother breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed solemnly, saying, "I thank the Dragon King for his mercy!" "Well, go ahead and have a good life in your next life." "Ok?" Grandma Cui looked up in surprise, but she didn't see Ao Hai Dragon King and her vision suddenly became blurred. At this moment, a layer of crystal clear ice crystals quietly covered the smooth and translucent fox eyes. The ice crystals spread along the cheeks, and in a short moment, the Cui family's grandmother was turned into a lifelike ice sculpture. "Crack!" After a while, cracks appeared all over the body of the ice sculpture. A gust of wind blew, and the ice sculpture shattered, breaking into pieces all over the ground. "Mr. Gu, are you satisfied?" In the main hall, Ao Hai had a blank expression on his face. After a while, thousands of incense sticks fell from the void, lingering around his body and pouring down from the ice throne. "I kept my promise." Ao Hai sneered, waved his long sleeves to roll up the incense, then puffed up his cheeks and shot out a water arrow. The water arrows fell to the ground, stacked up and took shape, and in the blink of an eye they turned into "Mrs. Cui's Grandma." Grandma Cui twisted her waist and her expression gradually adjusted to normal after twisting and twitching. She bowed towards Ao Hai, then stood up and walked behind Ao Hai, standing beside him. After doing all this, Ao Hai looked at the unresponsive Internet and said with a fake smile: "Master Gu, you and I are destined to meet. If you have time someday, please come and sit in my secluded pond!" …… …… "He has the demeanor of a hero!" Gu Yunli watched Ao Hai's performance and shook his head slightly. To be honest, he thought of various ways that Grandma Cui could die, but he never expected that she would die at the hands of Ao Hai. Cruel enough! But he had to admit that this move not only appeased him, but also won the hearts of the people and earned thousands of incense sticks. If I had known that the matter was so easy to solve, I should have issued a bounty earlier, which made him so cautious for so long! After all, he thought too highly of Grandma Cui and underestimated himself. "Anyway, I've finally gotten rid of the worry that's bothering me!" Gu Yunli let out a sigh of relief... The weather forecast has almost been adjusted, so it's better to do it today, as it's a perfect time for double happiness. Then, he thought about it and clicked publish.
【Internet is online: a new "Weather Forecast" section has been added. 】 …… …… In the mud palace at the bottom of the Dafangtang Pond, the Dragon King transformed into his original form and sat slumped in a bubble, his mind wandering in the world of the Internet. Suddenly, a window popped up, causing his entire body to tremble. So fast? "Brother, look, the weather forecast has been released!" At the same time, some little demons started shouting excitedly. "I know, don't yell!" Chi Longwang shouted angrily and quickly returned to the homepage, only to see a square suddenly appear in the upper right corner of a bunch of tiles. Inside the cube, the sky is clear and cloudless. It looks particularly pleasing! Chi Longwang stared blankly, his mouth corners unconsciously stretched to the back of his ears. ——It feels so good that the dust has settled! It turned out that ever since he had asked for this lucrative job from Gu Bogong, he had become famous among the water monsters in Yong County! Who doesn't know that he is a popular figure holding a lucrative position in front of Mr. Gu? Right now there is only the weather forecast for Yong County, which may not look very impressive, but don’t forget that the world is not just Yong County. With the expansion of the Internet, a large number of “forecasters” will inevitably be needed in all places. By then, how much of a lucrative job would that be? Some smart water monsters even look down on the "forecasters". After all, weather forecasts need to be monitored and supervised, and each state and county must have a chief. They don't dare to ask for a provincial chief, so being a county-level chief is also great. And this is also the ambition of King Chi Long! ——He wanted to become the chief forecaster for the state capital, province, and even the entire dynasty. The crescent moon shines over the nine provinces, some are happy while others are sad. As the weather forecast came online, the water monsters in Yong County cheered, but the lower-level immortal officials in Yong County were in an uproar! ——The original Internet has already squeezed their incense to the lowest level, and now there is a weather forecast. How can they survive? (End of this chapter)
