Douluo Continent: What should I do if I don't have a cheat system?

Chapter 313 The meeting ended with the elders personally overseeing the proceedings.

The other elders were arguing fiercely, their voices as loud as a storm, their shouts and the thunderous banging on the table like the roars of wild beasts, shaking the entire room.

In their struggle to determine a winner and to exchange departments with Elder Ghost Leopard, they argued fiercely, neither willing to yield an inch.

Elder Ghost Leopard, the central figure in the debate, was still deep in thought, completely oblivious to the heated arguments outside.

The arguments and disturbances of the outside world faded away, leaving him in a silent stillness, allowing him to confront his own thoughts alone.

He was isolated from the world, as if he were in a lonely world, with only his own thoughts and inner voice.

"Enough! Stop arguing!"

The voice of Elder Qian Daoliu was like a thunderclap, breaking the chaotic situation of the argument.

His imposing presence was like an eagle spreading its wings, inspiring awe.

Instantly, the entire conference room fell into a suffocating silence, as if time had stopped.

The crowd, who had been arguing fiercely, seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force, and no one dared to utter a word.

If a needle were to fall to the ground now, the sound would become exceptionally clear, and everyone could hear it perfectly.

Elder Ghost Leopard also recovered from the sound of Elder Qian Daoliu's voice, his expression somewhat bewildered, wondering why the Elder had suddenly become so serious.

"Stop arguing. You all know about the power of faith; it can be obtained in every position, it's just a matter of how much." The elder's voice echoed in the conference room, inspiring awe in everyone.

"Now that you have all become gods with long lifespans, what's a little more time?" His question silenced everyone.

"What difference does it make whether the transformation happens a few years earlier or a few years later?" This question has prompted many to reflect.

"Although Jerry said that the Information Department is the easiest place to obtain faith power, he didn't explain the specific method. But after thinking about it, I'm sure it's not a simple matter." The elder's tone was thoughtful.

"Elder Ghost Leopard's work in the Information Department over the years has been evident to everyone, but he has clearly gained very little faith power now." His words made everyone feel regretful.

"Elder Ghost Leopard is not an incompetent person, yet he has obtained so little faith power. Do you think you can just take over?" His question made everyone think deeply.

"The position of minister is not one that can be changed at will. It involves too many things, and a hasty change could affect the normal development of Wuhun City." The Grand Elder's warning made everyone realize the truth.

"As long as Wuhun City continues to develop normally, there will be a continuous source of faith power. Therefore, all actions should first consider the normal development of Wuhun City." This statement was not only a reminder but also a warning to all the elders.

"Don't even think about asking about the power of faith after Jerry comes back. When Jerry went out this time, he made it very clear that he was going to do something big, something even bigger than the matter of the God Realm. Do you think he will come back anytime soon?" The elder's question silenced everyone.

"Elder Ghost Leopard, since Jerry has said that the Information Department is the easiest place to obtain faith power, after you go back this time, think carefully about what else the Information Department can do besides collecting and disseminating information."

The Grand Elder's reminder made Elder Ghost Leopard fall into deep thought.

"Alright, that's enough about the power of faith. Let's talk about Tang San and that unknown god-level expert!"

The Grand Elder Qian Daoliu's imposing presence still dominated the entire room. His words ended the debate and prompted everyone to turn to a new topic.

There is indeed a lack of effective means to deal with Tang San and the unknown god-level powerhouse.

Unless one has an overwhelming numerical advantage, it is difficult to counter their power.

Furthermore, openly confronting Tang San and the unknown god-level powerhouse is not feasible at present, because how could ordinary investigators possibly be a match for a god-level powerhouse? It would be like giving them away for free.

After a heated discussion, no truly effective solution was found.

Therefore, the next day, the warrant for Tang San's arrest was quietly withdrawn from the Spirit Hall's wanted list.

After the meeting, each god-level powerhouse began to reorganize their department, identify and address any shortcomings, in order to gain more faith power.

This move quickly brought about significant changes.

Soon after, the atmosphere in Wuhun City was completely renewed, attracting the attention of everyone on the continent.

Neither of the two empires remained idle, and each took different measures.

The Star Luo Empire is paying more attention to people's livelihood and has promulgated many new policies, all of which are for the benefit of the people.

These policies brought tangible benefits to the people, greatly improving the livelihoods of the people in the Star Luo Empire.

The Heavenly Dou Empire first took over the land of the Barak Kingdom, and then formulated some new development policies to help the Barak Kingdom quickly return to a peaceful state.

These policies effectively promoted the recovery and development of the Barak Kingdom.

Meanwhile, other regions of the Heavenly Dou Empire also introduced a series of policies to benefit the people, bringing benefits to the general public.

In an instant, the people of both empires began to express their gratitude to the empires.

Tang San and the mysterious god-level powerhouse currently lack effective means to deal with them, but don't forget, there is also a hidden force involved in this war.

Although they did not participate openly, they had been providing assistance to the Kingdom of Barak in private.

This force is the Food Appreciation Association.

Previously, due to the enormous size and numerous involvement of the Food Appreciation Association, it was impossible to quickly and effectively control the association, so no action was taken.

Now that the war is over, the two great empires have time to deal with the Gourmet Appreciation Association.

As for the Food Appreciation Association in the Wuhun City area, if necessary, it can be completely controlled within ten minutes. The troublesome ones are the Food Appreciation Association branches of the two great empires.

The rapid development of the two empires owes a great deal to the Food Appreciation Association.

After all, in every developing city, the food appreciation association will introduce many food shops to the city. These shops will attract a lot of transient population, which in turn will drive the city's development.

After all, in this society, those who have time to travel are people who are not short of money.

There were too few consumer items in the past, so many people saved their money, and the economy didn't circulate. How could we expect to develop like that?

Therefore, the Spirit Hall acknowledges the contributions of the Food Appreciation Association to urban development.

After an investigation by the Spirit Hall's Information Department, it was found that only a small number of members of the Gourmet Appreciation Association were followers of the Church of Light; the majority of them were genuinely passionate about food, which is why they joined the association.

This undoubtedly increased the workload considerably. Distinguishing between believers of the Church of Light and ordinary people within the Food Appreciation Association is no easy task.

The two empires' food appreciation associations can only be investigated gradually, but Zhu Zhuqing said with certainty that the two presidents of the food appreciation associations, Oscar and Ma Hongjun, are definitely people from Tang San's faction.

They used to be Tang San's classmates and teammates, and were friends who could trust each other. So, the fact that the Food Appreciation Association helped Tang San privately this time was probably the idea of ​​Oscar and Ma Hongjun.

As the highest-ranking figures in the association, the elders of the Spirit Hall discussed the matter and decided not to take action immediately. Instead, they would personally monitor the situation and would detect any contact between Tang San and the elders immediately.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun were, after all, gods with divine positions, not ordinary god-level powerhouses, so they noticed when someone was monitoring them.

Although the person monitoring them was hiding in the distance, Oscar and Ma Hongjun still recognized that the person monitoring them was an elder of the Spirit Hall.

This surveillance was also due to the Spirit Hall elders' carelessness. They underestimated Oscar and Ma Hongjun. Because of the concealment of their divine positions, they did not realize that Oscar and Ma Hongjun were also god-level powerhouses. They thought they could monitor from a great distance, so they did not make any disguises, which is why the two of them discovered them.

After discovering that someone was watching them, Oscar and Ma Hongjun did not make a fuss and continued to do their usual work.

When the two returned home in the evening, after a busy day, they tidied up and then turned off the lights and went to sleep.

The people watching from outside, seeing that the two had fallen asleep, relaxed their vigilance and started chatting.

"Those two are just ordinary Soul Masters, relax, Elder Ghost Leopard!"

"That won't do either. I have a feeling that Tang San will definitely make contact with them. Elder Demon Bear, don't let your guard down."

"Alright, alright, you're right. To have two god-level powerhouses like us monitoring them is the greatest honor of their lives."

……

Elder Ghost Leopard and Elder Demon Bear chatted casually.

At midnight, the outside world was plunged into darkness and silence.

The stars in the sky twinkled faintly, and the streetlights illuminated the road in solitude; everything seemed so peaceful and serene.

There was almost no sound of vehicles or pedestrians on the street, only the gentle breeze blowing through the treetops, bringing a faint sound.

The shadows of the trees in the night are cast on the road, forming mysterious dark patches that give one a sense of coolness.

The buildings in the distance were sparsely lit, with faint lights shining from some windows, as if they were the only guardians of this world.

In the dark room, Austin and Ma Hongjun suddenly opened their eyes and groped towards one side of the bed in the darkness, soon finding a round protrusion.

Slowly rotate this protrusion, and you will find that one side of the bed has collapsed. Because the sheet covers it, you don't know what's underneath.

The two slowly curled up under the covers until their heads were completely covered. Nothing unusual happened outside.

The two groped around the collapsed area and found a hidden design on the sheet in the middle. With a gentle flip, a large hole appeared in the sheet.

Then the collapsed part was revealed, a dark hole with a handrail on one side.

The two took out dolls that were about the same size as themselves from their rings, placed them in the blanket to replace their original positions, and then slowly climbed down the handrails along the edge of the hole.

They descended to a depth of about fifty meters before finally reaching the bottom, where there was only one passage. The two took out their phones and, using the faint light from their phones, walked deeper into the passage.

Finally, the two met in a spacious area. When the soul guide lamp of this space was turned on, the scene of this space was instantly revealed.

This used to be a small meeting room. After the two met, they smiled at each other.

"So you thought of that too. We're being monitored by the Spirit Hall now. We need to inform Yu Xiaogang and Tang San that they shouldn't contact each other for the time being," Oscar said upon seeing Ma Hongjun. The two hadn't communicated before, and he hadn't expected Ma Hongjun to come as well.

This was the time they had agreed to meet before. Both of them had thought about taking action and had considered this particular time, which is why they were able to meet.

"That's what I was thinking too. I didn't expect we'd be on the same page. But the Spirit Hall is just monitoring us right now and hasn't taken any action. It seems the Spirit Hall has a purpose."

Ma Hongjun sat down at the conference table, took out a bottle of beverage from his ring, handed one to Oscar, took a sip himself, and said...

"Their purpose is easy to guess. Either they've discovered our acquisition of supplies during the war but lack evidence, so they haven't taken direct action, only monitoring us; or they hope we'll lure Tang San out. We have a good friend in the Spirit Hall, and she knows us very well."

"Whatever their purpose, we must not let them discover that we have any connection with Tang San."

"As long as we are not found to have any connection with Tang San, neither of our objectives can be verified. According to the Spirit Hall's regulations, people will not be arrested without evidence."

Oscar thought for a moment before speaking.

"Oscar, you're the one who understands things best. So, are you going or should I go and inform them?"

Ma Hongjun asked, "After all, there's no need for both of us to go together to inform Tang San about this."

"I'll go. You go back to sleep. As for the Spirit Hall's surveillance, just pretend you didn't see it. Just continue with your normal work every day."

After Oscar finished speaking, he walked to one side of the conference room and only then did he see that, in addition to the passageway the two of them had come through, there was another passageway.

Oscar followed the passage and arrived at a very outer area of ​​Wuhun City. This place was also a small courtyard. After leaving the courtyard, it wouldn't be long before he could run out of Wuhun City's jurisdiction. It seems that this passage was an escape route left by the two of them.

After Oscar came out, he didn't run outside, but instead took advantage of the darkness and quickly moved towards the inner city.

Not long after, Oscar appeared in the fourth ring area of ​​Wuhun City and quietly sneaked into a courtyard.

The courtyard was deserted, clearly indicating that it had been uninhabited for a long time.

Oscar walked straight in and turned the soul-guided lamp in the secondary bedroom bathroom in the courtyard. Then, the large floor mirror on the other side of the bathroom suddenly moved backward and slid to the right.

Behind the full-length mirror was another space, containing only a downward staircase. As the full-length mirror moved to the side, the soul guide lights on both sides of the staircase instantly turned on, illuminating the entire staircase.

Oscar stepped inside, touched the handrail next to the stairs, and the full-length mirror slid out again, returning to its previous position. From the outside, it was impossible to imagine that there was a space behind this full-length mirror.

After closing the full-length mirror, Oscar went down the stairs.

Before long, they saw bright lights ahead, and upon entering, a new space appeared.
