In the morning, he took Hobart Xinta to do morning exercises. At about nine o'clock, the two of them dressed neatly and went out to walk around several high-end properties in the city.

They had already been planning to start business activities here, and during the time he was away, Hoba Xinta had already started the preliminary preparations according to the plan they had discussed.

He himself is a wealthy retired man, and is also possibly the oldest "owner of Mother Earth's treasures". He has no shortage of funds and connections, and can control the situation on his own, so he did not look for other partners.

These high-end areas are not prosperous commercial areas. On the contrary, they are relatively secluded wealthy areas. The overall style of Twilight City is more like Hong Kong in the 1980s, or Chicago and Metropolis even earlier.

Dirty and messy places are really dirty and messy, but places with good order are really pretty good.

These places are all intended to be used as pure restaurant clubs like high-end private clubs. Considering the completion of functions, there is even a whole small building in the wealthy area, which is intended to be used as the restaurant headquarters.

Yang Sheng was quite satisfied with these places and the headquarters building. At noon, the two of them had lunch in the wealthy area of ​​the headquarters building and drank two pots of tea. Hobbitt drove Yang Sheng again and spent two hours to a relatively independent freight yard in the suburbs.

The original building here looks like a temple... and what is enshrined inside is something similar to Buddha. It's very... strange. There used to be Buddhism here? But where is Tianzhu?

When Hobson Tower drove up (to the mountainous area in the suburbs), he saw many members of the Vitality Organization guarding the road. Although they were wearing suits, they were obviously not good people.

Except for stopping the car at the first checkpoint, when they saw the image of Hobart Sinta, these members of the Vitality Organization, who looked like thugs in suits, hurriedly made way as if they had seen a ghost, moved away the roadblocks, and even stood on the road with their knees bent to see them off.

The remaining checkpoints probably have communication methods, so we just start the game. All the guys stand on both sides of the road, waiting for the car to pass.

Come, let’s all bow and salute.

Seeing Yang Sheng's teasing expression through the rearview mirror, Huo Ba Xinta smiled awkwardly:

"Well, sometimes it's quite convenient to hand over some things that are inconvenient for me to do by myself to these people. For example, I bought this piece of mountain and asked these people to relocate the original residents in the mountain area. It was very smooth. It might take more than ten years for an ordinary real estate company to complete it..."

He carefully stared at Yang Sheng's expression. After spending some time together, he realized that Yang Sheng didn't seem to have a good impression of those vitality organizations, so he quickly added:

"...But don't worry, the process may be a little violent, but I can assure you that there will be absolutely no bullying of men or women. I also paid a 30% premium based on the market price as relocation expenses, and safely arranged them in a civilian area in the suburbs with better public security."

"I hope so," Yang Sheng said without comment, which made Hoba Xinta feel uneasy.

He planned to personally visit the relocated mountain residents again afterwards. If there were any of his younger brothers who had disobeyed his orders and done something wrong, he was determined to make them regret coming into this world.

……

The simple earthen houses of the original mountain residents were demolished and replaced by several large, neat and tall modern warehouses.

That temple is the current office address. The original temple was not demolished, but renovated... Maybe it's a common problem of the Vitality Organization. The more evil they do, the more they seek comfort. Yang Sheng couldn't tell what the specific style was. Anyway, the architectural features of flying eaves and brackets, and a large area of ​​specially transplanted bamboo forest, combined with the various forms of Arhats and Buddhas, have a weird demon world style? Or a strange Chinese religious style?

If there was a monk with a thunder god face and a golden cudgel, I wonder if the flavor would be more authentic...

Here, Yang Sheng met with several leaders under Hoba Xinta.

These are some of the forces he has been operating in Dusk Star City for the past hundred years. Some of the gangs were even mortal enemies before, but after being summoned by Hoba Xinta, they realized that they all originally belonged to the same boss.

Among a bunch of rough guys in flowered shirts and suits, there was a pretty female leader who slightly attracted Yang Sheng's attention, but only slightly. It's not that she was that pretty, but compared with a bunch of evil-looking gang members, she was indeed eye-catching.

These gang leaders were probably just disciplined by Hoba Xinta. They were so respectful that they didn't even dare to breathe. But when they saw Yang Sheng, who even Hoba Xinta had to be respectful to, they felt strange but didn't dare to show it. After being called over one by one, they all looked at their noses, their mouths, and their hearts, and were very well behaved.

The meeting room used to be a hall in a temple. After renovation, it became a room with ancient style and solid wood decoration. Yang Sheng sat at the boss's desk in the middle with a swagger, and six leaders stood on both sides with their backs straight.

Seeing Yang Sheng raise his hand, Huo Baxinta leaned forward and asked in a low voice: "Boss, what can I do for you?"

"That's too serious. Anyway, we have to wait until night to take action. I'll treat you guys to a meal. Let's eat while we wait."

As Yang Sheng spoke, he casually placed a few node bases of the anti-interference barrier, and in an instant, a simplified version of the anti-interference barrier was formed in the room.

Then without spending much, he took out the copper hot pot, charcoal and various ingredients.

Although Huoba Xinta was used to seeing this, it was the first time for his younger brothers to see this. He could not help but show the look of Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. He straightened up and his face changed:

"Don't just stand there, Mr. Yang is kind enough to treat you to hotpot, come up and give him a hand."

The men and women looked at each other, and then under his command, they worked together to gather the sofas and coffee tables in the conference room together, forming a circle, and then one by one respectfully went to the boss's table in front of Yang Sheng to get the materials.

Yang Sheng was a little curious and asked, "What did you do to them? Why are you acting so well?"

Huoba Xinta touched the back of his head and smiled shyly: "I am usually a bit lazy. I haven't managed these gangs for decades after taking root in Dusk Star City, so... I let these bastards know how I managed the gangs some time ago."

"Has the leader been replaced?"

"No, it just made all of them bleed profusely."

Hobart Xinta grinned, showing his two canine teeth. Yang Sheng understood that he was using his special ability as a "vampire zombie" to show off his saintliness in front of others...if this could be called "sacred".

Looking at a few more people, there were no obvious wounds on their necks, and I didn't know where he bit them. Maybe the wounds he bit healed quickly?

Yang Sheng thought about it and decided not to set up another hot pot table on the boss's table. Instead, he walked around the boss's table and went down to sit with the gang men and women.

Although there was no need to befriend them, he did not want to deliberately create a sense of alienation because that was not his character and there was no need for it.

After the meal, the atmosphere became a little more harmonious.

Several men and women did not say a word, just ate in silence... The ingredients Yang Sheng brought out were all high-quality ones, and even if they did not say a word, they felt very comfortable while eating. Besides, they all told dirty jokes, which were not suitable to liven up the atmosphere around Yang Sheng.

The main reason was that Hobart Xinta saw that Yang Sheng had been single and had not shown any interest in any woman, so he did not dare to offend him rashly.

During the meal, he kept asking Yang Sheng about his cultivation.

He was not at all shy about talking about things in this regard with his subordinates present.

Without his background as a "blood-sucking zombie" and the set of magic jewelry he was wearing, no matter how thorough his theoretical foundation was, it would be useless, so he was not worried about them sitting in at all.

With the foreshadowing of Yang Sheng taking out so many things to eat before, although these male and female gang leaders did not understand, they did not dare to treat Yang Sheng as a swindler.

The time came to nightfall.

Because it was midsummer here, the days were long and the nights were short, and it was not until eight o'clock that it became completely dark. At this time, everyone in the conference room had finished their meal and was drinking tea to digest their food.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Yang Sheng and Huoba Xinta led everyone, without bringing any other brothers, and headed for a nearby warehouse under the stars and the night sky.

"After returning to my management, I have completely split up their gang's black business, retaining only the operating rights of entertainment venues. Businesses such as dock and cargo station management have been replaced with formal and legal labor contracts. In the future, our business scope will not touch those black industries."

Yang Sheng nodded. To be honest, if we don't do a thorough social cleanup and carry out refined management at the grassroots level like the mysterious country, the black industry will be an evil that can never be eradicated. It is difficult to achieve anything with personal strength. For example, Beitman, Supoman and others, in the end, only walked into the cinema and failed to change the reality.

Moreover, even the mysterious country has only achieved a relative degree of achievement, otherwise there would not be works like Zijinchen's "The Long Night Is Difficult to See". Things like school bullying, workplace, and marriage are areas that even the mysterious country finds difficult to govern.

But do not let small kindnesses go unrewarded; even if it is just a small change, it will not be hypocrisy, and it will ultimately be a step towards the better.

Yang Sheng didn't look back, and said to the other leaders:

"Don't worry about your income being reduced. I'm a difficult guy to lead. Just focus on following the rules and I won't treat you unfairly."

These people didn't react at first, but when Hoba Xinta looked at them and gave them a look, they realized what was going on and said in unison, "Yes."

In addition to the hardened ground and high-quality cement in the warehouse, the walls and ceiling are simple and can only barely provide shelter from wind and rain. However, this is enough for Yang Sheng.

The female leader trotted a few steps to the control panel and turned on the lights in the warehouse. After a series of beeping sounds, the warehouse was brightly lit.

Yang Sheng raised his hand, signaling everyone to stay where they were. He estimated the distance around him and came to the local center.

The warehouse is about three stories high and covers a vast area, leaving ample space for future upgrades and additional equipment. It has usage standards from the mysterious country and has long since tested a set of very practical processes for general logistics.

Although Huoba Xinta himself didn't know what Yang Sheng was going to do, he turned to look at his younger brother and said:

"Watch carefully, don't make a fuss later, or you'll be embarrassed for me."

"Yes"

"Got it, Boss."

"clear"

Yang Sheng first waved his hand and cast out some node bases of anti-interference barrier, which were arranged on the ground and in the air. Just like in the conference room before, in the outside world, his spatial ability of using the "mobile phone" was interfered with. When taking and putting in larger objects, he was unable to enlarge the entrance of the channel. When performing certain spells or similar operations, he would also be interfered with, so he needed to prop up this barrier.

He has already built the main base deep underground, and the "material penetration" function has been put into operation after such a long period of improvement. However, due to the interference of "Mother Earth", the monthly cargo volume is not as basically unrestricted as in the world of Heavenly Demon Pest. But if it is just to meet the high-end market of a city, it is still more than enough.

Therefore, in the warehouse here, we only need to set up a [Miracle Ancient Tree] for shipping.

Oh, by the way, there is also a [Moon Well] and [Elf] used to maintain the ancient trees.

Although Hoba Xinta had given instructions in advance, everything that happened next still left everyone present, including Hoba Xinta, dumbfounded.

Single dogs are also dogs, they are all single dogs.

Yang Sheng easily dug a perfect circular pit and a smaller perfect circular pit in the concrete at least two meters deep. Then, as if penetrating a layer of mist, a strange humanoid creature almost reaching the ceiling appeared next to the site.

After opening its eyes that emitted bright yellow light, it made bursts of strange and pleasant sounds and creaking and stiff friction sounds all over its body. It moved its two short legs and sat into the larger round pit. Its body underwent a strange change and it turned into a strange tree with two lanterns and a bar underneath.

Huoba Xinta: "..."

Little brother*6: “…”

And over there, Yang Sheng made another bang, as if it was just a plastic product that fell down, and a huge pool with a ¥-shaped logo sat in the smaller round pit.

After turning off the lights, the two lanterns of the strange big tree, although not as bright as electric lights in the dark, were enough to illuminate the entire warehouse. The water in the pool also emitted a bright light as if it were radioactive material.

Oh, by the way, there are no nuclear eggs in this world, and the common knowledge of radioactive materials is not as common as in Yang Sheng’s hometown or the world of Tian Yao Pest, so they have no idea that in an ordinary world like theirs, if something can

If something like the Moon Well water emits such a bright light at night, you must run as far away from it as possible.

"That's about it."

Yang Sheng casually threw out a white luminous object [Elf] to repair the traces between the tree pit, the [Moon Well] and the concrete floor.

"Later, we just need to build some conveyor belts to transport supplies..."

0013

If the main job of a time traveler like Yang Sheng is to travel through time, then the main job of an "Earth Mother Treasure Owner" like Hoba Xinta is to fight monsters and accumulate the Earth Mother's gifts.

At night, Yang Sheng took over the driving and brought Hoba Xinta to a commercial area that seemed to be closed.

This is actually the effect of the "Mother Earth Barrier" he applied for. The commercial area in Dusk Star City usually lasts until three or four in the morning, and there is no closing time. Only certain commercial places are closed, not the commercial area.

The "Earth Mother Barrier" can exert influence on mortals within a certain range, such as going to bed early, cleaning the room today, and conducting nighttime maintenance, thereby creating a place where the "treasure owner" can safely fight invading ghost creatures.

Well... I have to complain here. If too much damage is caused, "Mother Earth" will not be responsible for the subsequent repairs, or it can be said that it does not have such ability. The mortals affected in this area will, under the influence of the "Mother Earth Barrier", subjectively believe that the destruction was caused by an accident such as a "gas explosion".

Hobart Xinta is active in about 10 blocks all year round. As the saying goes, a good dog protects his neighbors. In these 10 blocks, any invading ghosts that appear will usually be cleared out by him at the first opportunity. He has the "Gift from Mother Earth" to take, and ordinary people can enjoy peace at night.

But occasionally, it would happen like what happened to Yang Sheng last time, when he was carrying out a mission outside his range of activities but was partially defeated by the alien evil spirits.

The local police defined the incident as the work of a serial antisocial and antihuman psychopathic killer, but this world has neither profilers nor detectives like Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes, nor a complete surveillance network. As the investigation was fruitless, the case could only be regarded as an unsolved case and the files were sealed.

Also, the target of this operation is actually a group of alien ghosts that have been entrenched in this commercial district for a long time. On the one hand, the intensity of their activities is not great, and the number of missing persons reported each month has not aroused the vigilance of the police or anyone else, except for the relatives and friends of some of the missing persons. Moreover, this group of ghosts is also very particular about their methods, and the targets they choose are those who are commonly known as those who have been deliberately forgotten, such as tramps, homeless people, and people living alone.

Although lone "treasure owners" like Hobart Xinta and the regular Earth Mother Club knew each other clearly, a balance was formed in the situation for a long time.

This group of alien ghosts is complex in composition, with many different types of ghosts, a large number of them, and multiple powerful ghost kings. They are not a group that a lone ranger like Hobart Xinta can take down. If a large-scale clearing operation is launched, it will cause too much noise. Formal Mother Earth Clubs generally have a semi-official background, and they have to consider local affairs, such as urban stability and economy. They cannot go to war with these invading ghosts on the premise of turning the city into ruins.

Apart from anything else, a building in a prosperous area in this world is worth hundreds of millions or even tens of billions of (meow) billions, while the value of a human life, the maximum compensation awarded by the court is currently 20 world currencies... This is just a simple multiple-choice question.

The biggest reason why Hoba Xinta did this was that he felt that his strength had greatly improved after practicing with Yang Sheng. While eradicating the cancer of a city, he could also challenge himself.

It's a bit like the common saying "If I don't hit you, how do you know that I'm strong?"

With Yang Sheng in charge, he felt free of worries.

But in fact, his action brought great shock to Twilight Star City from top to bottom.

Although the operation of applying for the Earth Mother's barrier is very common, and most of the time no one knows who the applicant is and where it is used. Even if the authority is sufficient, the Earth Mother usually will not disclose the applicant's personal information and the place of use, and can only be judged based on the accident scene afterwards.

Treasure owners like Hobart Xinta who work alone are generally not a headache for regular clubs, but those with high authority are. For example, now, without their knowledge, the operation of applying for a barrier to cover the entire commercial district has caught them off guard and put them in a completely passive position.

Alien ghosts are not mindless monsters. Even if they cannot be sensed by the senses, you have set up such a huge barrier to cover them, the ordinary people who have been decreasing in number since the afternoon can still get a glimpse of them. By the evening, there is no ordinary person at all. After everyone takes off their disguises, they are all ghosts and monsters. Who doesn’t know that they are being targeted in this situation? ?

In modern times, these alien invasion creatures no longer rely entirely on their own instinctive talents to fight. Thanks to the poor governance of human society, they have also obtained a considerable amount of thermal weapons and equipment through smuggling or the black market. Especially those groups that have occupied a commercial district for more than ten years or even decades, and there are more vitality organizations than monster societies. Some of them even choose to join them even though they know that the other side is a ghost that feeds on humans... It cannot be said that they are all traitors.

Those victims who have been persecuted by gangsters, have never experienced warmth from humans, and have only felt pain and torture... Can you expect them to stand on the side of humans unconditionally based on their species?

There are many similar examples, such as "I have seen the most despicable human and the most noble orc". The demon Sun Xiaoguo in the real world, as a victim of this beast in human skin, probably turned into a fierce ghost and took the most tragic revenge on the abuser, which is in line with the simple concept of good and evil equivalence of more ordinary people...

But these are not a problem for Yang Sheng. He has never done evil in this world or in any other world, nor has he persecuted anyone, except for punishing the girls in his family when role-playing... Well, I have to make a distinction here, even when it is role-playing, he is playing the role of just punishment, because among the props and costumes, there are only German and American uniforms (dog heads), and other rabbit costumes have nothing to do with justice and evil.

There is no problem with Hobart Xinta, because Yang Sheng has heard him talk about his past experiences. When he was young, he was a middle school boy similar to Alan Yeager. Of course, the similarity between the two is that Hobart Xinta once vowed to completely exterminate all the ghosts without leaving a single one alive, which does not mean that he does not have a horse.

It was precisely because of this radical idea that he chose the "blood-sucking zombie" physique, which was very taboo among the owners of the Earth Mother's treasures.

Therefore, for the two of them, their stance is that if something is evil, it must be killed. As long as someone is associated with the word "cannibalism", no matter how miserable their past experiences were, they can be killed without any psychological burden.

……

From the moment Yang Sheng and Huo Ba Xinta appeared on the periphery, countless eyes were secretly spying on them.

Among them are certainly the furious members of the Dusk Star City Earth Mother Club, as well as the target of this crackdown, the alien ghost gang entrenched in the commercial district.

Of course, there are also some people who come here for fun based on their own observations or after receiving the news, some are also owners of the Earth Mother's treasures who work alone, and the composition of the others is very complicated. There are a few monsters that are extremely powerful in this world, and they are confident of their strength and come here with the mentality of watching the show. There are also a small number of ordinary people and ordinary people's organizations who know the details of the treasure owners and the alien invading monsters.
