Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 260 Rise of the Mouse Planet
In short, after the appearance of the three gods, these upper-level lackeys were undoubtedly the most worried and nervous.

"How's it going? Still no movement from Yaoyang City?"

"No," the subordinate who came to report chuckled dryly, "Moreover, according to the information I've gathered, grain prices in Yaoyang City have already stabilized, and even with the current closure of the intercity space passage, they remain unaffected."

"Are you kidding me?" Wang Zhi exclaimed in shock. "Where did they get so much grain? Could it be that those grain merchants are secretly supporting them?"

Wang Zhi grew increasingly angry and immediately contacted several major grain merchant families.

Upon learning the situation, Wang Zhi was somewhat bewildered.

"What? You mean Yaoyang City still has surplus grain to sell?"

"That's right, we've been secretly investigating this matter recently."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Zhi's expression was uncertain, and he became angrier the more he thought about it.

No, why should I?

Where did they get their grain production methods?
At that moment, he felt like a clown.

He was originally smugly waiting for Yaoyang City to kneel down and beg for mercy, but who would have thought that they didn't take him seriously at all, and instead lived a more comfortable life than before.

Even more outrageous, the Underworld Club won the Special Grade Extermination last month, officially advancing to the Gold Club.

"Could it be that the association is secretly interfering?"

Considering Cui Wenxuan's special status, it's not impossible that this is the case.

Or perhaps the Yaoyang City Association just happened to have trained relevant professionals?
"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!" Wang Zhi said through gritted teeth. "We must find out the source of their food."

Damn it, I was originally planning to use this to show off to those guys at the club, but I didn't expect Yaoyang City to turn the tables on me.

"Huh? But the intercity space passages are all closed now?"

"You think you can't survive without intercity space passages?" Wang Zhi said irritably. "Take more people and go through the dimensional invasion zone."

His subordinates had no choice but to obey.

Even after leaving, he couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark in his mind.

They were bragging about how powerful the higher-ups were, saying that Yaoyang City would soon be begging for mercy.

And then what? I'm asking you, and then what?

He's already acting as a lackey for his superiors, but he actually wants to trick everyone else into doing the same thing. What an idiot!
Wang Zhi was unaware of the unusual behavior of his subordinates. At that moment, his mind was filled with thoughts of the impact of the appearance of the three gods on the future world order and on the future of the Wang family.

After all, the Wang family's current status is essentially due to "their arrogance stemming from the power of their master."

Just then, Wang Zhi seemed to realize something, and a look of wild joy appeared in his eyes.

Without saying a word, he rushed back to the family's secret chamber.

Inside the secret room, there was a mirror-like device. Beside it, several divine dogs of different shapes and sizes were already in place, listening to the commands and teachings of their master reflected in the mirror.

Wang Zhi forced himself to kneel down and said, "Master, your most loyal dog has arrived."

Buzz~!

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in the mirror's face darkened, and a powerful aura was projected onto the Wang family members through the mirror.

"Have you forgotten all the rules?" The man in the mirror looked superior and indifferent.

"Please forgive me, Master! Please forgive me, Master!" Wang Zhi was so frightened that he wet himself and explained in a panic, "It's not that this servant forgot the rules, it's just that the collar you gave this servant was broken by a blind brat."

"Hmm?" The man in the mirror frowned in surprise. "Who is so bold as to destroy the creation of the heavens?"

"Reporting to Master, he is a rising young man from Yaoyang City. He has an extremely high talent for painting scrolls and is now doing very well in Tianfeng Province," Wang Zhi explained, bowing deeply.

"Useless thing!" the man in the mirror snorted.

"Oh right, that kid also has a powerful divine dog scroll; Master would probably be very interested in it." Wang Zhi quickly changed the subject.

"Really?" The man in the mirror seemed to have become interested.

Wang Zhi quickly took out his phone and played a video about Lou Jingou.

The man in the mirror grew increasingly alarmed and increasingly fond of the dog. A rare hint of interest surfaced on his usually aloof and indifferent face. "What a good dog! Truly a good dog!"
"I don't need to tell you how, do I?" "Rest assured, Master, this servant will do everything in his power to make it submit to your rule."

The man in the mirror nodded in satisfaction. "The situation is chaotic right now, so it's not convenient for me to go down. How's the collection of what I asked you to gather coming along?"

"We have collected quite a few; please take a look."

Wang Zhi hurriedly took out a bunch of data cores and threw them into the hands of the man in the mirror.

"As for those three otherworldly demon gods, Heaven has its own way of dealing with them," the man in the mirror sneered. "Let them gloat for a while."

Wang Zhi and the Wang family's dogs nodded obediently.

Then, the man in the mirror issued a series of tasks and instructions, and his figure gradually blurred in the mirror.

Seeing this, Wang Zhi hurriedly said, "Master, this servant's new collar..."

……

Yaoyang City, No. 3 Land Temple Farm.

Nowadays, people are offering incense and making offerings to the land temples more and more, and the various land temple farms are developing better and better.

However, starting in the last few days, some problems have been occurring frequently.

At the grain depot, several farm workers, covered in dust and dirt, lay at their feet a rat carcass larger than a dog, with glossy fur.

It took them a lot of effort to catch this big rat.

It's not that the mouse is particularly strong, it's just that it's too slippery and difficult to catch.

"Tsk~ Is this the beginning of a mouseball revolution?"

Wu Xian carefully examined the large rat in front of him, and sighed inwardly.

He had just witnessed the latter part of the battle to capture the giant rat and was truly astonished.

Regardless of why this mouse is so big, the main point is that this thing can perform short-distance spatial jumps, which is just ridiculous!

Just a few days ago, who could have imagined that the [Emperor of the Sky] would have this kind of impact?

Keep in mind that these are just ordinary mice in the human world. If they were the various rodent creatures from another world, who knows what they might evolve into.

"Are rats like this in other parts of the city too?" Wu Xian asked, frowning.

"Everything else is fine, except that their size has increased and their strength has increased significantly," the staff member reported. "It's just that the mutation is a bit more pronounced on our farm."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian couldn't help but chuckle to himself, "They have quite the taste."

As expected of a mouse, it's quite professional in this area.

The only thing to blame is that the quality and nutritional value of the grain on our farm are too high, which has nourished these rats to this extent in just a few days.

"About how many rats are there on the farm?" Wu Xian asked.

"Our initial estimate is at least a hundred of them. You know how prolific these creatures are," the staff member said with a worried expression. "Given time, their numbers will probably skyrocket."

Wu Xian sighed inwardly, "Let's temporarily move the granary to the subspace storage device. As for the farmland, let's find some [Leopard Tail General] contestants to come over; that should be of some use."

Grain warehouses can be moved to the subspace, but crops growing in the fields cannot be hidden there.

"Yes, I will arrange it right away."

Wu Xian sighed softly, then turned to inspect the other farms, where the situation was no better.

After returning to the North District, I began to think about how to deal with the situation.

If it's just a common rat infestation, it's not difficult at all and can be dealt with easily.

The key point is that these rats are no longer ordinary rats, but rather "relatives" of the true god of this world. Some rats have even mastered the skill of "teleportation".

"Sigh~ I wonder if our Master Huang can handle it?"
