Everyone's on a time-travel adventure! I'm raising city beasts in a post-apocalyptic world

"In other words, the more people there are, the faster the leveling up is; the faster the leveling up is, the stronger the people become, and the more feedback they receive..."

Lin's fingers tapped unconsciously on the armrest, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

"Is this the legendary 'left foot stepping on right foot, spiraling upwards'?"

He glanced at the "Everyone is a Dragon" talent again. Betrayal would result in backlash, clearly a safety net for him. He was no longer afraid of taking in ungrateful wretches.

"We need to get Wang Lu involved, we need to recruit him..."

Lin Feng stood up and paced back and forth, suddenly realizing that the King of Men profession wasn't so bad after all.

While others work hard to level up, he can receive feedback without lifting a finger. As long as the population base is large enough, this snowball effect can start rolling.

"Would I be considered a mascot?"

"No, it's much better than a mascot. The longer I reign as king, the more subordinates I have, and the stronger I become!"

Lin Feng waved his hand, and a booklet, entirely golden with intricate patterns flowing across its surface, appeared out of thin air in his hand. He opened the first page, which contained his own name. He continued to the next page, the Imperial Harem Record—empty. The next page, the Official Record—empty. He turned to the next page, the People's Record—which contained a dense collection of names.

The names of everyone on the list, from Chen Min to Xiao Rui and the others, including members of the guard team, Zhao Gao and his group, and even those who paid to rent rooms on Xiao Xuan's back, were all there.

However, Xiao Wu and the other beast-eared girls, as well as Wang Lie and the others, were not on it.

Lin Feng pondered, could it be that Xiao Wu and the others were from a different race, and even if they submitted, it wouldn't count?

Are Wang Lie and the others in the caravan not counted because they were just part of a caravan migrating together, or is it because their territory is implicitly considered to be the area on the back of the Xuan Turtle?

"I don't want to think about it too much now. I'll find out after the interview."

Lin Feng touched the name on the golden book with his mind—Chen Min. A message appeared on the book: [Currently, the highest official rank that can be conferred is the seventh grade—Palace Attendant… (All attributes +30%…)]

"Um... how about we check on the others first? If we click on this one, I'm afraid Sister Min will tear me apart."

"Xiao Rui, come here for a moment."

"Master, I'm here... What do you need? Should I arrange a song and dance performance for you?" Xiao Rui said with a smile as soon as she arrived.

"Stand still!"

Lin Feng tapped the golden book, and a beam of golden light flew into her brow and disappeared into her forehead. Xiao Rui's eyes widened, and after a moment, she blinked blankly.

"Master... I think I've become stronger."

Talent 1: Life Management (A core skill for a maid; proficient in all life skills)

Talent 2: Weapon Mastery (Master of all eighteen weapons)

Lin Feng nodded, "It really worked. Go and call Zhao Gao here."

Xiao Rui nodded obediently and ran out. Less than ten minutes later, Zhao Gao appeared in front of Lin Feng. "My lord."

Lin Feng looked at him. This man, who had been ruthless to himself to survive, was indeed capable of handling things later on. Lin Feng decided to give him a chance to choose for himself.

"Old Zhao, you've been with me for quite a while now. You've probably heard about what happened at the altar today. I have two career paths for you to choose from: one is the Bureau of Evil, and the other is the Guardian of the Mysterious Realm."

Seeing Zhao Gao's puzzled expression, Lin Feng explained, "You can think of the Sixie Bureau as the Eastern Depot, and the Zhenxuan Guard as the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Whichever you choose, the outer city will be under your management. However, choosing the Zhenxuan Guard has one advantage: you only need to find level 3 mutated beasts to sacrifice at the altar, and severed limbs can regenerate!"

Zhao Gao suddenly looked up at Lin Feng, his face full of shock: "Severed...severed limbs regenerating?"

Lin Feng nodded: "That's what you mean."

Now it was Zhao Gao's turn to struggle. Should he continue being Zhao Gao, or go back to being the old Zhao Dayong? He knew that no matter what he chose, Lin Feng would value him highly. His dilemma was whether to regain his manhood, or…

Finally, Zhao Gao said, "My lord, since your profession is to serve the king, I would like to go to the Bureau of Evil Affairs to share the king's burdens!"

Lin Feng: "Aren't you going to think about it carefully?"

Zhao Gao respectfully said, "I've made up my mind..."

He wasn't interested in the other Zhenxuan Guard position. He figured he already had children, and women would only be obstacles to his ascent to the top. He could say without hesitation, "I have no interest in women."

Most importantly, if he chooses to go to Zhenxuan Guard, it means he will completely leave his position at the core of power, which is unacceptable to him.

Lin Feng nodded: "Then it's up to you."

A dot on the golden book.

Zhao Gao (Zhao Dayong)

Profession: Exorcist Guardian (Requires ascending the altar to upgrade bloodline for activation)

Rating: 0

Talent 1: Overseeing the World (Investigative ability; how could an agent of the Eastern Depot not have the ability to distinguish right from wrong and investigate officials?)

Talent 2: Slay Evil and Destroy Illusion (Defines evil, increases damage by 50%, you monster, surrender now!)

"Alright, go prepare the offerings. The level of the offerings is related to your level after success. Ten level 3 animals correspond to a level 3 professional. Go down." Lin Feng waved his hand, dismissing Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao: "This servant thanks Your Majesty!!!"

Lin Feng: "..."

This title almost gave Lin Feng goosebumps. He was just an ordinary person, so how did he end up with this job? Fate really knows how to play tricks on people.

Zhao Gao was indeed a capable man. After leaving the villa, he did not rush to capture the sacrificial offerings. All the black monsters under his command had been sacrificed, and he himself did not have the ability to go out hunting. He thought for a while and then decided to take advantage of the situation.

He found Old Chen and, without keeping him in suspense, briefly explained what had just happened: "The lord gave me a choice, and I chose to become the Demon Suppressor, and he entrusted me with the management of the outer city. Now, to activate the profession, I need to sacrifice 10 offerings."

Old Chen glanced at him: "With your current abilities, capturing 10 level 3 mutated beasts is indeed a long shot..."

"That's why I came to find you." Zhao Gao laid it all out, saying confidently, "I know you always gain benefits—professional experience—from presiding over altars, right?"

Old Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and remained silent.

Zhao Gao continued, "Don't rush to deny it. I'm here to cooperate. You know I don't have anyone under me right now, and I'm thinking the altar will definitely need to be open to the public. How about we have those in the camp who want to acquire a profession pay an extra 10 offerings of the corresponding level as a fee? I'll arrange the slots for them, and you'll be in charge of the ceremony. We each get what we want, how about it?"

Old Chen paused for a moment. Indeed, every time he participated in the main and secondary altar rituals, he gained a lot of professional experience, which deepened his understanding of the pathfinder profession. Otherwise, how did he get his level 4 strength?

Are you sure Lin Feng will agree?

Seeing his expression, Zhao Gao knew he was tempted: "I'll speak to the king. Wait for my news."
