Looking at the bowl while eating from the pot is truly human nature.

It's a good thing that Minkler is ambitious; Ji Jue also needs such an ambitious and insatiable partner. If it were someone else who's indifferent, where would he find a fee for making friends?

In return, the Seven Cities, especially Minkler's family, brought out their ability to turn billions into people.

As one of the largest commercial hubs in the Southeast of the Endless Sea, the wealth that passes through the Seven Cities daily is astronomical. In the current tense situation, it has further absorbed a large amount of foreign capital as a safe haven.

Their family has occupied the Seven Cities for so many years, practically one-seventh of the alliance, and when they reach into their pockets, they are more than generous.

At this critical juncture, the Seven Cities need protection, the people of the Seven Cities need to believe they will be protected, the Seven Cities need a battle hero!

In the past, Minkler, the unremarkable soldier in the family, suddenly saw his status rise, having tasted the flavor of power, he was even less likely to let go.

What is needed is a partner like Ji Jue, who will not shake his position while providing substantial support.

The two sides hit it off immediately.

That day, a large number of materials were transshipped through Tianping Commerce, directly dispatched from local warehouses to Coastal Industry.

Moreover, they also bought a large batch of used or scrapped alchemy items and promised this was just the first batch, more to come!

As long as you don't say stop, let's continue for three years first!

It's not for nothing, definitely worth it!

A mere destroyer's battle merit serves only as a prelude. The key point is that the Seven Cities have already donned the mantle of righteousness, punishing traitors and acting on behalf of heaven.

It was you, Aikonzo, who were ruthless enough to send troops to invade our great Seven Territories first; what's the problem with us breaking it down?

Besides, even though Punabantu isn't big, with scarce grain and low average prenatal education, damn it, it has a mine, gold, a whole island's worth of rich mines!

Everyone can't wait to divide the cake.

In response, Ji Jue expressed approval for the great approach to intensifying the efforts.

If he weren't too busy recently, he would have wanted to take Pan Ying to take a tour of Punabantu himself, with so many fine living sacrifices, what a waste, what a pity.

In the next few days, changes occurred again in the Southwest of Thousand Islands.

First, the Seven Cities declared war on Punabantu and struck back. Four days later, the newly staged General Aikonzo mysteriously died in his presidential mansion, during a banquet he hosted.

He was holding a knife and fork eloquently talking about the marvelous essence of human flesh, when suddenly his head burst, splattering the walls, drenching everyone around.

Dead, thoroughly dead.

Died excellently, wonderfully, everyone cheered.

As for who did it, nobody could say for sure, and no one cared anyway.

In the next two days, the entire Punabantu turned chaotic again, becoming as chaotic as a pot of stew. In forty-eight hours, four self-proclaimed generals declared themselves in power to take over the city-state, and two unknown democratically elected presidents called for an uprising, making the main city of over 200,000 people fluctuate.

It ended overnight, quietly, dead silent like Hell.

From the hidden threats they had forgotten...

After losing control, the spiritual plague fully broke out, Dream Loss Syndrome took over 70,000 souls, turning them into walking corpses, even degenerating them into Mutants.

The entire city eroded into a Demon Realm, and those who hadn't been infected, or rather, hadn't broken out those who survived, fled in all directions.

According to the Federation's observations, it will take at least forty years for the city's abnormalities to dissipate and degrade naturally. Thus, an additional restricted area appeared again on the international map.

And the spiritual plague spread among the survivors, dispersing among the Thousand Islands.

But...

Not only this kind spread amidst the Thousand Islands!

Dream Loss Syndrome doesn't cause sudden death, doesn't explode, doesn't turn people into walking sources of pollution, and is without pain or suffering, getting vaccinated is likely to prevent it.

Welcome to the immortal server, brother, you still need practice, take a step back for now!

There's nothing to hang on to, just living day by day, everyone got used to it.

Kill what needs killing, die what needs dying, do what needs doing.

Survive today, don't think about tomorrow.

A few days later, after the Chongguang Sect's review and rebuke ended, the Elder brought his assistant, Yu Shu, who had just finished their recovery, to Coastal Industry for an official visit.

The elder grasped Ji Jue's hands, sincerely expressing his gratitude: "Thank you for your assistance, Mr. Ji, the child was able to return safely, and now I'm formally thanking you; I hope for your forgiveness for the delay."

"Elder, there's no need for such words. Before, when my family needed treatment and surgery, wasn't it Jici Hospital that covered the costs?

Please sit down, don't stand."

Ji Jue waved his hand, warmly inviting them to sit down, offering them good tea for hospitality, and suggested a new phase of cooperation. The latest batch of improved prosthetics has entered the testing phase, just in need of the Chongguang Sect's assistance in finding disabled people for testing.

"I understand, leave it to me."

The Elder accepted the proposal with a smile, a hint of sentiment appearing on his aged face, solemnly stating: "I've come here brazenly today, actually to request another favor."

"It doesn't matter, feel free to tell me."

Ji Jue waved his hand, meaning go ahead without hesitation, assuring the elder it'll be taken care of!

After a brief silence, the Elder hesitated, glancing back at the assistant standing beside him, Yu Shu, reaching out to point: "Would you be willing to take in this child?
