Then let them show their loyalty!

Chapter 561 The Third Golden Finger! ( words asking for monthly votes)
To be honest, even with Qiu Tu's shrewdness, he was a little shocked when he heard those words from Tao Yaoyao's mouth!
King Kang passed away?!
This is the top leader of a shelter. In the past life, he would be the prime minister or president of a country.

Such a person is destined to leave a significant mark in the history of his country.

Each of them is truly a child of destiny and luck.

And he died just like that?
It’s not that King Kang can’t die, but he can’t die so hastily.

Who would believe that there is no foul play in his death at such a sensitive time?

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu suppressed the turmoil in his heart. Then, as he sheathed his sword, he asked, "Died? How did he die?"

After hearing what Qiu Tu said, Tao Yaoyao said, "The shelter just received the news, and there are no specific details."

"I just heard that King Kang has not been in good health in the past two years since he was injured in the battle a few years ago."

"He spends most of his time in bed. Even when he met with the vice-chairman of Shelter 3 a while ago, he dragged his sick body and forced himself to go."

"During this period, King Kang's health deteriorated, and he unfortunately passed away yesterday."

"That night, the cabinet of Shelter No. 6 formed a 'Posthumous Affairs Committee' and began to take over a series of affairs after King Kang's death."

Tao Yaoyao paused and added, "In addition, it is said that before King Kang died, he called all the cabinet ministers to his bedside and wanted to change the political system of Shelter No. 6."

"From a 'dual monarchy' to a 'constitutional monarchy', Crown Prince Kang was made the new Lord of the Sanctuary, but he only holds an honorary position and no longer enjoys actual power."

After hearing Tao Yaoyao's words, Qiu Tu's expression did not change, but he took a deep breath in his heart.

"What a cruel move!"

Although it is not certain whether King Kang was killed by Kou Xuan and whether the will was forged; however, the current situation in Shelter No. 6 is indeed deteriorating rapidly for Qiu Tu.

First, the death of King Kang caused the loss of the most critical "strategic buffer" between Qiu Tu, Princess Xi and the Kou family. They had to engage in close combat.

Don't think this is a problem. It's a huge problem.

Princess Xi and the Kou family are both native forces of the 6th Sanctuary and do not really need a "strategic buffer".

However, Qiu Tu is an outsider.

If he wants to interfere in the affairs of Shelter 6 in a reasonable and legal manner without causing backlash from other forces in Shelter 6, he must proceed slowly.

Don't rush things and don't use too much force.

Only after everyone in Shelter 6 gradually gets used to and accepts that Qiu Tu can participate in the affairs of Shelter 6, will Qiu Tu dare to take action against the Kou family.

Moreover, only in this way, after defeating the Kou family, can Qiu Tu legitimately stay in the 6th Shelter.

Without this premise, Qiu Tu would be an outside force. He would have neither the qualifications to interfere in the affairs of the 6th Shelter nor the reason to stay in the 6th Shelter.

By then, it is very likely that all the efforts will be in vain and the Princess Xi will be made a wedding dress in vain.

As a result, now that King Kang is dead, Qiu Tu has only two choices.

Either he would face the backlash and forcefully intervene in the affairs of Shelter 6. Or he would simply give up.

The second is the change of political system.

The political system has always been the core of a country or an organization.

Changes in the political system are likely to cause political earthquakes and even cause entire countries or organizations to fall apart.

After all, changes in the political system represent a reshuffle and replacement of power.

During this period, many people and many forces may benefit, and many people and many forces may be eliminated.

But this situation is different in Shelter 6.

The political system of Sanctuary 6 is a "dual monarchy," in which the monarch and the cabinet jointly rule the country.

Afterwards, Prince Kang became seriously ill and power fell into the hands of the cabinet.

It can be said that in the past two years, Sanctuary No. 6 has been a "constitutional monarchy".

Therefore, the conversion of Sanctuary 6 to a "constitutional monarchy" was almost seamless.

And more importantly, why didn't the Kou family directly adopt a parliamentary system, but instead chose a constitutional monarchy?

That was to divide the royalists and win over Princess Xi.

This is also the biggest conspiracy of the Kou family's move:

Instead of usurping the throne, they chose to legally steal the supreme power of the sanctuary, but left the honor to Princess Xi.

The benefit of doing this is that the Kou family did not directly usurp the throne, but stole the supreme power by changing the political system.

This will greatly reduce the impact of the Kou family's change of dynasty, and can also reduce the opposition from the human camp.

Moreover, because it is a "constitutional monarchy", Princess Xi and the Crown Prince are still the nominal supreme leaders of the shelter, and their luxurious clothing, food, clothing, and even some basic powers can still be retained.

Even, because the righteousness still exists, the royalists can still exist and have a subtle influence on the shelter.

This conspiracy directly reversed the initial situation of "confrontation between the two sides" and even a fight to the death.

In addition, the royalists are weak now, and the Crown Prince Kang is too young to rule. Princess Xi will most likely agree.

In other words, even if she didn't agree, the royalists might also hope that she would agree.

After all, for the royalists: as long as King Kang's bloodline is still on the throne and they can live a life of luxury, their basic goal will be achieved.

The Crown Prince of Kang is only a little over one year old now. Even if they really wipe out the Kou family and maintain the political system in a "dual monarchy", the Crown Prince of Kang will not be able to rule the country.

The situation is not much different from now.

Moreover, Qiu Tu suspected that if the Kou family could commit such an act of regicide, wouldn’t they negotiate with the bigwigs of the royalist faction and win them over with benefits?

Finally, the most vicious and crucial thing about this move is actually timing.

Princess Xi is now in the 8th Sanctuary, and some of her most loyal royalists have all gone to the 8th Sanctuary to rescue her.

Prince Kang passed away suddenly, and Princess Xi wanted to bring people back, but it would take at least 3-5 days.

By then, the daylily will be cold.

Not to mention King Kang’s body, it is estimated that even King Kang’s ashes cannot be seen.

In addition, since power has already fallen into the hands of others, changing the political system will be very simple.

By then, Princess Xi will be powerless to save the situation.
Qiu Tu even speculated that in order to avoid Princess Xi's remote command, the entire Shelter 6 might have used the death of King Kang as an opportunity to directly close the country and cut off internal and external communications.

Now the entire Shelter 6 is probably just a black box to people outside.

No one knows what's going on inside, and no one knows what's going to happen.

Only after the dust settles will light return.

Thinking of this, even Qiu Tu couldn't help but shake his head.

Kou Xuan's move of cutting off the source of the problem was indeed powerful, and it directly disrupted all the plans made by himself and Princess Xi.

I am fine. Although I have been preparing to intervene in the affairs of Shelter 6, I have not officially intervened yet.

You can withdraw anytime you want. There is almost no loss.

The current Princess Xi is different. She is probably in a dilemma.

After all, Kou Xuan's move directly hit her vitals. If she moved forward, the royalist faction might have been internally divided and could not support her to continue to seize the throne.

If she went back, she and her son would never again hold supreme power over the sanctuary.

'So, what will you choose?'

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look up in the direction of Shelter No. 8.
Meanwhile, Shelter No. 8, Fengtian Hotel. Presidential Suite.

Princess Xi, dressed in luxurious clothes, was looking at the maid in front of her with a frosty face.

After the maid finished telling all the information, she wiped the sweat off her head and said, "This news was sent in the form of a notice, so the guards are uneasy."

"Lord Ji Yuan is now there to appease the guards, and then let me ask you, Princess, what choice you will make."

After hearing what the maid said, Princess Xi's face became so gloomy that it looked like it was going to rain.

She held the intelligence in her hand, her heavy chest heaving with breath.

However, Princess Xi was able to find the most suitable way out as soon as her family fell into poverty; she knew how to train loyal soldiers when she was a teenager; she was able to build a powerful royalist faction in just a few years. It is obvious that she is a woman with great shrewdness and political skills.

So, she suppressed her emotions and asked in a deep voice, "What did Mr. Guo, Mr. Xiong, and Hayden say?"

The maid hesitated for a moment, then said, "Princess, I don't know."

"After receiving the news, Lord Ji immediately contacted Mr. Guo."

"But the two of them barely said a few words before the line was disconnected."

"After that, Lord Ji tried to restore the communication, but he tried many methods and failed."

"Finally, he suspected that it was the Kou family who directly cut off the shelter's main communication line to the outside world."

"The shelter is now an isolated island with no communication and no one knows what is going on."

Upon hearing this, Princess Xi's face turned completely cold.

But at the end, the maid added, "However, Master Ji said that after he contacted Mr. Guo, he immediately confirmed the safety of the prince."

"The prince has now been transferred to a safe place and is under heavy protection. He should be out of danger for a while."

Hearing this blessing in disguise, the expression on Princess Xi's face finally eased a little.

But she still closed her eyes, then waved to the maid, "You go down first, I will be alone for a while."

Hearing Princess Xi's words, the maid quickly bowed and left the room.

When the maid closed the door, Princess Xi was the only one left in the room.

She stretched out her hand and wanted to smash the things at hand to pieces, but she stopped in mid-air.

It stayed still for a few seconds, Princess Xi suppressed her emotions and slowly put the thing in her hand back on the table.

Then she stood up, walked to the window of the presidential suite and looked out.

The eight shelters were the last masterpieces of human civilization in the Cataclysm Era. So although there were not as many tall buildings as before the Cataclysm, it was still a thriving scene.

Looking down at the 8th Shelter, Princess Xi couldn't help but think of the 6th Shelter, and the more than ten years since her family suffered a major change and she went directly to King Kang to start over.
Now that all her plans have failed, she feels extremely calm in her heart, and her eyes are extremely deep and dark.
At noon, in Dongye Prefecture, Qiu Tu’s residence.

Being prepared for danger in times of peace and keeping multiple escape routes has always been Qiu Tu's bottom line.
Although the 6th Shelter is Qiu Tu's target, the 6th Shelter is not Qiu Tu's only target.

Like continuing to advance in the 8th Shelter, or directly establishing the 9th Shelter.

Like... relying on Zhao Ji and Lazhiluo, establishing a unified anti-government armed force in the disaster area.

The higher you go, the more options you have. And you can always find a way out.

Apart from anything else, the 2000 dark soldiers in Qiu Tu's hands are, to a certain extent, enough for Qiu Tu to start a business anywhere and at any time.

He is no longer the same person he was when he first traveled through time, when he was penniless and could only rely on the golden finger.

Now he has too many abilities, treasures and helpers that are more useful than the golden finger.

Of course, no one would think that they are strong. With one more golden finger, Qiu Tu would become even stronger, and of course he would be more confident!

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu had his lunch and walked upstairs by himself.

Back upstairs, Qiu Tu burned incense and took a bath, then began to draw this month's golden finger.

Qiu Tu now has a total of three gold finger positions, two of which are fixed, namely "Sense of Crisis" and "Loyalty Game".

These two golden fingers are closely related to Qiu Tu’s current development, and Qiu Tu simply cannot give up.

Therefore, he only has the third golden finger position to refresh.

"Heaven and earth, please help me find a useful golden finger."

"Give me something that can help me expand my power, or solve the problem of Sanctuary 6, or fight against the evil god's golden finger."

"Well, it would be best if it could overpower Zhao Ji."

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu silently said "refresh" in his heart.

Just like before, there were no special effects and no sounds. The next second, this month’s new cheat code popped up in front of Qiu Tu’s eyes: Getting something for nothing!

"Unearned money?" Qiu Tu's eyes moved slightly as he whispered the name.

Then he studied the golden finger carefully.

“No pain, no gain?”

"As long as there is no interaction with other creatures, this cheat code can be triggered?"

"From using the path to cultivating catastrophes and martial arts to unlocking locks and drawing pictures, as long as I can do it "theoretically", I can "actively trigger" this cheat code?"

"For example, Tang Feifei taught me the basic sword skills before. Do I really not need to practice them again?"

"As long as I activate this ability, it will be like creating an avatar that will constantly practice that sword skill, and the experience gained from the practice will be continuously absorbed by me?"

"And I should just handle my official duties? Should I just be carefree and relaxed?"

"For example, if I want to paint a picture, I just need to activate this golden finger and prepare paper, ink, brush and inkstone. After a while, the materials will be automatically consumed, and then a painting of mine will be born?"

"hiss!"

Although this cheat code is not very powerful, it is very subtle and it feels like it has a huge room for development?
Needless to say, in just a moment, Qiu Tu had several ideas of how to use this ability.

For example, "practicing martial arts", "refining area center", "handling official business", and "proof of absence".

With this ability, Qiu Tu can finally "annihilate the entire enemy family and handle official business at the same time."
This is even more convenient than opening a clone. After all, Qiu Tu did it himself.
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu suddenly froze as if he had thought of something.

Huh? Wait a minute.

If this ability can really do anything "within one's ability".

Then can I use it to carve the extremely complex catastrophic ability "Sealing Jade"?
Qiu Tuke remembers that the biggest problem he encountered in carving the "Sealing Jade" was that the structure was too complicated and too troublesome to carve.

But he was too busy and had no time to depict.

Now that we have “getting something for nothing”, maybe we can succeed in carving it in 2-3 days?
