Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

"official?"

Feng Niang froze for a moment, then propped herself up in a daze.

One second they were making love in bed, and the next second they were discussing state affairs in the imperial court?

The topic changed even faster than she had changed her posture.

She had long suspected that Lin Mo's actions in Blackwind City were no small matter. However, Blackwind City was, in name only, territory of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Is he... dropping the pretense and coming clean now?

Fengniang felt as if she had been abruptly pulled from her gentle embrace by an invisible hand and slammed onto the mahjong table.

The stakes are your life and fortune.

Lin Mo ignored her complicated thoughts.

His mind is now filled with one dazzling word—[Exclusive Bond].

"Yes, the chief officer of the Garrison Command."

Lin Mo pinched her delicate chin, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"Intelligence, security, arrests, interrogations—it's all under your control."

"From now on, you'll be the head of Blackwind City's KGB, MI6, and CIA!"

A barrage of incomprehensible words left Feng Niang somewhat bewildered, but she accurately grasped the key words.

Intelligence, interrogation, the boss.

The allure on Feng Niang's face faded, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.

"Young master, have you... made up your mind?"

Her voice was a little hoarse.

"A woman like me, who has been around the block, is only good as your confidante to keep you company and relieve your boredom."

"But once you sit in this position, you're putting your life and fortune on this ship."

"Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back. You and I will both be thorns in the side of the Great Xia Dynasty."

Seeing Feng Niang suddenly become serious, Lin Mo smiled instead.

A thorn in someone's side?

A thorn in the flesh?

I was worried they wouldn't come.

Lin Mo reached out and flicked Feng Niang's nose, trying to lighten the mood.

"It's not as serious as you think. Just think of him as... the director of an intelligence agency."

"I'll pay you a salary, provide you with staff, and offer you room and board—the benefits are excellent."

Director?

salary?

Fengniang was completely confused.

She tried hard to keep up with Lin Mo's train of thought, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the man in front of her was simply an incomprehensible monster.

When ordinary people plot something big, they all proceed cautiously, their faces practically screaming "ambition."

But what about him?

They described this potentially life-threatening situation as if it were a job opening at a vegetable market.

The title of Commander of the Garrison Command sounds impressive, but if you think about it more deeply...

Isn't this the future commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the director of the Eastern Depot of the new dynasty?

Feng Niang's heart began to pound.

Throughout her life, she navigated relationships with various men.

By selling their charms and intelligence, dancing on the edge of a knife, they managed to acquire the Crimson Phoenix Hall.

But it was ultimately just a rootless duckweed.

Now, this man has given her a choice.

An opportunity to gamble your life on something truly special.

If he wins, he will be a meritorious contributor to the rise of the dynasty and rise to the top in one step.

I bet he'll lose...

Instead, a self-deprecating smile appeared on Feng Niang's lips.

What does she have left to lose?

The Crimson Phoenix Hall is gone; all that's left is a worthless life.

Instead of continuing to struggle in the quagmire, why not follow this interesting madman and go crazy in a spectacular way!

Having figured all this out, a flame reignited in Feng Niang's fox-like eyes.

She suddenly sat up, her soft arms wrapping around Lin Mo's neck once more.

"OK."

Feng Niang leaned close to Lin Mo's ear, her warm breath tickling his ear.

"I'm sold to you for the rest of my life, young master."

"From now on, if you point east, I will never go west."

"Whoever you command me to bite, I will bite, and I won't let go even if it kills me."

Lin Mo could sense that the fairy in his arms was different.

If she was trying to make an investment with her body just now...

Now, she's made up her mind to become the number one henchman on her own pirate ship.

"good."

Lin Mo gave her a satisfied peck on the lips.

Immediately afterward, he opened the [Suppressing Division] panel in the [Map of Mountains and Rivers] and directly opened it.

Previously, the two key functions were 【Intelligence Gathering】 and 【Imperial Prison Interrogation】.

It has always been grayed out and unavailable, with the note "Requires binding a dedicated talent".

And isn't Feng Niang the most outstanding talent in this field?

Without hesitation, Lin Mo used his mind to drag Feng Niang's portrait to the position of the chief officer of the Zhenfu Division.

[Ding! Do you wish to appoint 'Feng Niang' as the head of the Zhenfu Division, in charge of intelligence and interrogation?]

"confirm."

[Ding! The beautiful courtesan 'Feng Niang' has been appointed as the head of the [Suppression Division], and her exclusive bond has been activated.]

[Blackwind City's monthly Conquest Point output increased by 10%!]

Looking at the [Suppressing Division] panel again, the two grayed-out options were indeed lit up, with the clear label [Commander: Feng Niang] next to them.

It became.

Lin Mo was overjoyed.

Having secured Feng Niang's appointment, he immediately began to slowly unfold the [Map of Mountains and Rivers for Hegemony].

In the building list, find the [Herbal Garden] icon again, which emits a soft green light.

Then Lin Mo found a feng shui treasure land in the back mountain of Black Wind City and silently prayed to himself.

"Build the [Hundred Herbs Garden]!"

[Do you wish to construct the Herb Garden, consuming 5000 Hegemony Points, 2000 Wood, and 2000 Stone?]

"yes!"

……

Almost the instant Lin Mo confirmed it.

On an open space in Blackwind City, green light suddenly appeared, and the ground rose up.

A medicinal garden, shrouded in a hazy green light, rose from the ground.

Lin Mo had no time to pay attention to the commotion outside. Without stopping, he immediately clicked on the details of [Hundred Herbs Garden].

Within the park, distinct ecological zones are clearly visible.

There is a "Scorched Earth" that simulates volcanic landforms.

There is a "Rotten Wetland" that simulates a swamp.

Of course, there is also the "extremely cold ice cave" that he needs most right now.

"Build, an extreme cold ice cave!"

[Do you wish to spend 1000 Hegemony Points to construct a special environment within the Herb Garden?]

"yes!"

Another thousand points were dumped.

When you're rich, that's how arrogant you become.

Finally, Lin Mo opened the list of medicinal herb cultivation and found the target he had been longing for.

【Tianshan Blood Sunflower】

[Would you like to spend 500 Hegemony Points to cultivate a Tianshan Blood Sunflower in the "Extreme Cold Ice Cave"?]

"Nurture!"

[Ding! The seeds of the Tianshan Blood Sunflower have been planted. Estimated cultivation period: 100 years.]

One hundred years?!

Lin Mo's smile froze instantly.

He stared intently at the glaring number on the system panel, feeling his newly rich mood instantly dampened by a bucket of ice water.

It seems that even the "Hundred Herbs Garden" isn't a panacea.

It can only provide a perfect environment; it cannot be used as a time machine.

Lin Mo immediately thought of the little gourd he had given to Jiang Zhiwei, wondering if the Medicine King Gourd could help this thing ripen faster...

"I'll take Seventh Sister-in-law to try it tomorrow."

Lin Mo made up his mind.

However, at that moment, a pair of slender arms wrapped around him from behind again.

A warm body pressed tightly against his back, and a soft, sweet moan came from Lin Mo's arms.

"Young master..."
