Hire little monsters in your dreams every day

Chapter 26 The Bloodline Skills of the Mink

call……

The sky was bright, and a cold wind was howling.

Wu Yun lay down on the cloud, shifting to a more comfortable position.

A cloud stretched out, forming the shape of a hand, grasping the stone slab, making it comfortable for him to look at.

[...The garrison commander is truly a fool.]

[As a ninth-rank master mechanic on the island, what's wrong with me having sex with a few lowly commoners?]

He actually wanted to strip me of my official position?!

Wu Yun frowned slightly as he drank the tea that Diao Quan Quan handed him.

"It seems the criminal in this case wasn't wronged."

Could it be his brother-in-law, wanting my official position?

[Or is he trying to use my father's death as an opportunity to settle scores with the Zhong family?]

[That damned woman!]

Even if it means certain death, I won't let him have his way. I manipulated the Celestial Rat to steal his register of celestial officials.

Without the register of celestial officials, he couldn't remove my name, nor could he dismiss me from my post!

He imprisoned me here, but the Heavenly Rat had already taken the list and disappeared underground.

To retrieve the roster, you must command the Heavenly Rat.

To command the Celestial Rats, a new Celestial Rats Craftsman must be appointed.

To appoint a new Celestial Rat Craftsman, you must retrieve the roster.

[Haha, how wonderful! The loop is closed!]

Although I don't quite understand what the Heavenly Rat is.

But Wu Yun understood; this kid who was locked up was actually quite talented!

The old garrison commander came to the prison, wanting to negotiate with me.

I have nothing to talk about.

He was the chief official and celestial official of this island. From the moment I offended him, I never thought I could survive.

I have given the Heavenly Rat the order to wander underground with the register of celestial officials, and never to be unearthed again.

Even if I die, it cannot be unearthed.

[Unless the garrison commander is willing to bear the grave crime of losing the list of celestial officials, don shackles and go to the Star Palace, thus becoming a sinner, this island will forever be without the list of celestial officials.]

I am the fish, he is the net.

Since the fish are dead, the net must be broken.

The garrison commander was enraged.

[They said that as long as he didn't tell anyone, no one would know the roster was missing.]

They claim that even without the roster, the island will continue to function perfectly well.

Hahaha, that might fool a ghost, but it won't fool me.

He could kill me, give me a quick and painless death with one blow.

【You can also leave me here and let me suffer the torment of imprisonment】

But while I'm in jail, isn't he also in jail?

With the roster of celestial officials lost, the island's hundreds of celestial officials can no longer be transferred, appointed, or deposed. How long can this secret be kept hidden?

I waited day and night in prison, anxiously awaiting his downfall.

He was constantly anxious and fearful, spending his days and nights in his residence.

I'm happier than him!

The characters on the stone slab are unrestrained and bold, with sharp strokes.

As Wu Yun watched, he felt both absurdity and amazed by the man's madness!
"Tsk tsk, you really messed with the wrong person."

I spent my days and nights in prison.

He would come to the prison to ask me questions every thirty days.

[Did you find your time in prison difficult?]

[Did you ask me if the prison beds were damp and cold?]

[Are you asking me if the food in prison is spoiled or rotten?]

[Ask me if I'd be willing to exchange the Register of Celestial Officials for a swift and decisive strike?]

Haha, I don't want to, I've already heard about it.

[I heard that several celestial officials on the island reached retirement age, but were unable to complete the retirement process.] [I heard they died of old age wearing their celestial official hats.]

The second-generation officials on the island, waiting to inherit the official hats, all disliked the dead man's hat, finding it unlucky, and had many complaints about the garrison commander who refused to grant retirements.

How delightful!

I know the real show is yet to come!

I know this is just the beginning!

Wu Yun finished reading the text on the stone tablet.

Then, turning his head to look at the pile of celestial official hats and celestial artifacts next to him, he suddenly understood the importance of the celestial official register.

If the list of celestial officials is lost, the entire island's celestial official personnel system is effectively frozen!
Without the register of celestial officials, all those hats and celestial artifacts are useless!

"Ok?"

in this case……

Wu Yun looked at the pit not far away.

From time to time, damp soil was thrown out of that pit.

Clearly, the mink triangle is still tracking that celestial artifact.

"This...could it be..."

He took a deep breath, only to see that Mink Circle had brought over a stack of new stone slabs for him to choose from.

"Ouch!"

After a quick examination, he found the piece with the inscription and mounted it on the stand.

I heard that this garrison commander used dredging workers to dig holes all over the island.

When others asked him why...

He said he would drill more wells for the residents of the outer ring road area.

I heard that this garrison commander has deployed spirit-detecting envoys to investigate spirits throughout the island.

When others asked him why...

He said it was to prevent the leakage of spiritual energy from causing explosions and injuring people.

[Hahaha, how ridiculous! I've never heard of him caring much for those lowly people.]

How could losing a roster change a person's personality?

The Celestial Rat was originally designed to unclog enclosed pipes and is adept at burrowing underground; it can be here today and there tomorrow.

[How can such a thin book as the Register of Celestial Officials contain so much spiritual energy?]

I'll watch him struggle day after day from this prison, and see when he'll finally unearth this register from the ground.

"what?"

Wu Yun raised his head, looked at the cave beside him, and then at the vast, boundless floating island.

"This...this...can this be dug out?"

……

Deep underground, where even the light of day cannot penetrate.

But the sable's triangular eyes were shining!

"Ow?"

At this moment, it was both angry and excited!
What's infuriating is...

Having worked as a treasure hunter for so long, this is the first time it's ever been outmaneuvered by a magical artifact!

Several times, after digging to the location found by the detector, it only found a fresh hole. This magical artifact could actually run away!
What's exciting is...

During the process of capturing this celestial artifact, it actually felt a slight sense of familiarity!

It definitely has never done this kind of work before.

Its parents and grandparents are also in a tough spot.

But it just felt that it seemed to have a similar skill naturally within its bloodline?
Is it naturally good at doing this?
Its flexible, large tail coiled around the probe, exploring aura responses from all directions.

A pair of triangular eyes gleamed as they stared intently at any subtle change in the detector.

Behind the cave, the sable brothers, including Blackie and Muddy, were also exploring, some holding the detector with their front paws, others curling it with their tails... although they couldn't actually tell whether the detector was responding or not.

"Ow!"

The mink triangle exclaimed in surprise!
It saw that both its own detector and the sable's detector were reacting!

Although its reactions were not strong, it frowned, raised its front paw to scratch its ear and thought for a while, and finally stretched out its front paw and pointed to a certain direction to its side.

"Waaaaah, woof woof woof woof!"

It immediately called to its brothers, "Dig in this direction!"
