Over the next few days, Chen Miemie was in a very good mood.
Everything in Sixiang City was slowly developing according to his plans.
A few days ago, Joker ran over and told him that he had contacted his former colleagues. They were so enthusiastic and insisted on his return that he couldn't refuse their hospitality, so he once again took over that underground faction.
Fengling didn't look for him for anything major, just to check if he was safe.
Dean Deng was getting on in years, and when he found out that Fengling was finally willing to take over the school, he was overjoyed, looking as if he finally had a worthy successor. With Fengling taking charge of the school, her succession as the Dean was just around the corner.
Dawn was so busy every day that she was nowhere to be seen, seemingly with endless matters to handle. She recruited Kashan as her personal secretary, causing Kashan to even miss the Frost Moon Gathering, which angered Leng Ruxue so much that she told three dry jokes in a row during the meeting.
To Chen Miemie, out of the Big Three, the only one with an issue was the municipal Chief.
Because of Chen Miaomiao, Chief Sun could be considered half an ally.
But there was still a difference between half an ally and a complete ally.
Giving a heads-up on minor matters was fine, but he might not be able to order him around when it came to major issues.
The core issue was that for the position of Chief, Chen Miemie truly had no one available to use.
Within the municipal system, families like the Jiang and Mian families were eyeing this position covetously. Chen Miemie had a good relationship with them, but families were maintained by bloodlines. No matter how good the relationship was, an outsider was ultimately an outsider, unless a marriage alliance occurred.
Chen Miemie had a certain trait: toward his own people, even just half an ally, he rarely took the initiative to play dirty.
Chief Sun was in his prime, and barring any accidents, he still had a long political career ahead of him. Therefore, there was temporarily no candidate to succeed him. Chen Miemie wasn't in a hurry either; taking it slowly was fine.
On this day, Chen Miemie and Xi were carrying out their daily street patrol together.
"Chen Miemie, I heard you really went to the Society Alliance to register a codename?" When Xi heard this news, her jaw dropped.
"Yeah, call me Night Ruler from now on."
"Your Mystery reached 3 so quickly! Are you really a genius?"
Chen Miemie looked at Xi with the gaze of someone caring for a fool. "It's something that a notice was already sent out for, and you're still asking it as a question. Also, I am not a genius."
"How rare, Chen Miemie, that you actually have a day of being humble."
Chen Miemie shook his head. "A genius is nothing more than a powerhouse who hasn't grown up yet. I am one who sits upon the throne of a ruler; you can just directly call me boss."
Xi had no reaction to such shameless words; this was the Chen Miemie she knew.
"My Mystery is only 3.5. I feel like in a few days, you'll be able to catch up to me."
"Xi, do you think there's a possibility that I've already caught up to you?"
"Hehe."
Being doubted, Chen Miemie felt a bit hurt.
He really wasn't lying.
Since advancing to Tier 3, he had taken in three new anomalies, namely Haomiao, Yarn Ball, and Baibai.
After taking in Haomiao, his Mystery was 3.1. He originally thought that after Tier 3, a contracted anomaly could only increase Mystery by 0.1.
As a result, after consecutively contracting Yarn Ball and Baibai, his Mystery displayed as 3.4.
He then understood that the growth brought by an anomaly now was 0.15. His current Mystery should be 3.45, but usually only one decimal place was shown, which was why it was 3.4.
If rounded up according to the true situation, he was now the same as Xi, having also reached 3.5.
These past two days, Chen Miemie wasn't in a rush to contract new anomalies. On one hand, he hadn't encountered any pleasing to the eye; on the other hand, the recent personnel additions at home were a bit fast, and he needed some time to settle.
Moreover, he was still completely clueless about the ritual needed to advance from Tier 3 to Tier 4.
Before even finishing the street patrol, Chen Miemie received a message from Fina, asking him to come over.
As soon as Chen Miemie entered the Silver Moon Court, Fina was standing alone in the place where they usually held meetings.
"Chen Miemie, let me ask you, that spatial ability you displayed last time, can it be used frequently?"
Chen Miemie immediately denied it: "It wasn't me, that was a friend's ability."
Fina scoffed, "Fine, even if it belongs to that inseparable friend of yours, can it be used frequently?"
"Yeah, absolutely guaranteed."
After pondering for two seconds, Fina said.
"Here's the thing. You are making rapid progress right now, have obtained a codename, your nighttime Immortality is astonishing, and you can teleport through space at any time. It can be said that your survivability is maxed out.
I have a society mission here that was accepted a long time ago. It was originally assigned to Keyuan to handle, but now there is temporarily no one who can do it. If you are interested..."
"Tell me the mission rewards first, then I'll see if I'm interested."
"This mission requires heading to another city. It takes a long time and is highly dangerous. The rewards are nothing more than a bit of time and resources, which you shouldn't be lacking."
Chen Miemie looked suspiciously at the Rubik's cube head opposite him, muttering in his heart: Lots of trouble, high danger, low rewards, and I have to travel far. Is this pitch really meant to get me to take the mission?
"Fina, do you want to reorganize your words? You actually don't really want me to go, right?"
The Rubik's cube turned slightly: "No, currently Dawn and Kashan are busy, Leng Ruxue and I cannot leave, Framework easily gets into conflicts with people, and the only one with the ability to handle it is you."
Without waiting for Chen Miemie to refuse.
Fina continued:
"Actually, I also know that the rewards for this mission are not proportional to the effort, and I originally wanted to just give it up.
But then I thought about how you've always been clamoring to be the president.
To be the president, you not only have to beat me, but there are also some qualification requirements. One of them is 'must have executed at least one inter-city society mission'.
Right now, the situation in the city isn't great, and cross-city missions are rare, so I'm asking you."
Chen Miemie frowned: "Why is there still this kind of messy stuff? Fists are the hard truth. Isn't having strength enough? Why bother with these flashy things?"
Fina strongly agreed: "I think so too, but this is a requirement from the Society Alliance. They say a good president must have some experience and have seen other cities. You can try contacting your teacher Dawn to have this rule deleted."
"Forget it, it's just one mission. Leave it to me. Which city?"
"The great eastern human city—Sealed Library."

To find the murderer who killed my parents years ago, I deliberately blinded myself so that everyone would lower their guard around me. Just as I was secretly accumulating power and capital according to my initial plan, a man walked into my world. "Lengleng, Qingqing, Qiuqiu, which nickname do you prefer?" I don't like any of them.

s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ... [The Eldest Princess's Diary] [When my soul was extracted, becoming the sole spectator outside my own shell] [At first, there was overwhelming fury, until I saw] [How he used my sword to effortlessly shatter my inescapable doom] [How he wielded my authority to eradicate fatal conspiracies I had never even detected] [Like a deity, he rescued me from the deep mire I was trapped in] [If not for those annoying vixens, he and I would be a match made in heaven] [I think I am ill, gravely ill] [My deity should belong to me alone] ...

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
