Succubus Chen Sir is reborn in Terra. Can he see the favorability?

"Oh, what are you thinking? The teacher is so busy, and they still want the teacher to help them solve the problem. Oh, hahaha..."

Seeing the old man touching the Heavenly Master's Ceremony, the two great Heavenly Masters stopped riddles and explained quickly, then laughed and shook their heads.

"Hahaha, young people these days, it reminds me of the time when you couldn't figure out how to set up the talisman and went to knock on the old Taoist priest's door in the middle of the night."

"Ahem, I'm your disciple. If I run into a problem, who else can I turn to if not you?"

The great master who was being talked about blushed, and quickly changed the subject, shaking the booklet in his hand and saying:

"Now that the teacher is away, let's take a look at this masterpiece by a folk master. It will help us relieve our boredom."

"Alright, let's see what interesting twists and turns have emerged recently in Da Yan. I remember back in our time, there was even a folk theory that water could be used to make peanut oil."

"Come, come, let's watch it together."

The three great Heavenly Masters sat together in a circle, flipping through the booklet. After turning two pages, the smiles on their faces faded. After turning a few more pages, they all held up their Heavenly Master instruments, subconsciously wanting to check their calculations. After flipping through a few more pages, the three great Heavenly Masters acted simultaneously, closing the booklet with a "bang".

"Did these guys...did they dig out the teacher's essays from earlier years?"

The three great Taoist priests looked at each other for a long time before one of them spoke tentatively and doubtfully.

"That shouldn't be the case. It's not what the teacher wrote. You all know the teacher's style. He doesn't write in such an elegant way... well, the teacher always uses very casual words when writing."

"The wording is secondary. The old Heavenly Master's methods are different from this. This time... I'm afraid a true master has emerged from the folk."

"......"X3

After a brief exchange, in that moment of silence, the three great masters' eyes simultaneously grew solemn. A subtle atmosphere permeated the air. They had completely put aside their disdainful and playful attitudes. The seemingly insignificant booklet before them had undoubtedly become a piece of unpolished jade.

Just now, as they read deeper, the three great masters gradually realized that this booklet was not as simple as it seemed. Although its content was difficult to understand, it revealed an insight that transcended the norm, and...

"This...this *Da Yan curses*, where on earth did they find this thing?! The person who wrote this book shouldn't be a professional, right?"

One of the great heavenly masters had a tremor in his voice, which was a mixture of surprise and excitement as if he had discovered a treasure.

"Indeed, at first glance, it seems to share the same roots as what we are learning, but upon closer inspection, we find that it has taken a different approach and is a school of its own."

Another great Taoist priest took over the conversation, his eyes filled with amazement. He couldn't wait to discuss with his old friend how the contents of this booklet cleverly circumvented the constraints of the traditional framework while maintaining the essence of tradition, opening up an unprecedented direction.

so....

This thing...who wouldn't be confused after seeing this thing!

"Gentlemen, please don't jump to conclusions. We must be rigorous, especially in matters like this. We must be extra rigorous!"

A great celestial master said seriously:

"We're not in great shape, so why don't we take a good rest first, and then we'll study it carefully. After all, this is a big deal, and we need to be serious about it. We can't just report anything wrong to the higher-ups."

"It makes sense."

"Well, then go take a break and get yourself together before analyzing this book."

The other two great Taoist priests also agreed with this statement, and then, three more hands appeared on the booklet at the same time. The three great Taoist priests looked at each other in silence. For a moment, the atmosphere in the tent became a little dull and awkward.

"Well, it's not safe to keep this booklet here. Just keep it sealed with me for now. You know, I'm the one who always keeps those confidential documents, so there won't be any trouble."

"But don't forget, I was the one who set up the defensive formations in this tent. I also have quite a few defensive formations in my residence, so, you know, my place is quite suitable too."

"As you know, I have always been very prestigious. Ordinary people would never bother me, so my place is the most suitable."

"......" X3

It can be seen that these three great masters all have their own methods and have no intention of withdrawing. For a moment, the atmosphere in the tent began to change from dull to "warm".

And over at Longmen...

"How could my teacher lie to me?! My teacher said I have average talent, and that's definitely true. I just went to a lot of places, so it was just a matter of chance."

Chen Huijie couldn't help but complain about Lao Li. From the very beginning, this guy wanted to promote himself as a genius. Chen Huijie could understand his thoughts. He just felt that Lao Li's talent was not as good as his, and his talent was not as good as that of Tianshi Mansion. Suddenly, he realized that his level was so ordinary, so he couldn't stand it.

Chen Huijie could understand this. In the previous world line, Chen Huijie was also arrogant for a while, thinking that the old gentleman was deceiving him. In fact, his own ability as a Taoist priest was very good.

Then, the old man found a little girl wearing a mask. The little girl took an old palm-leaf fan and fanned the sky casually, performing a natural disaster cloud disappearance spell for him. Then, she used a completely incomprehensible method to disappear before his eyes.

According to the old man, this little girl was just an apprentice of the old Taoist priest.

Well, this is just me here. If it were that masked girl, your mentality would have exploded completely, Lao Li.

Chen Huijie picked up a pen and poked the chattering old carp through the air. The surging true energy sealed the old carp's acupuncture points, silencing him temporarily. Then Chen Huijie continued to write with his head down, drawing mysterious patterns on the paper, trying to incorporate the technique of "understanding what it means just by looking at it" into it.

So, what should we call this "you can understand what it means just by looking at it" technology? Hmm... I can't think of it for a while...

Chen Huijie was muttering to himself while modifying the content of this version, removing all the things related to the "Forbidden Word Formula". The power of the "Forbidden Word Formula" was still a bit beyond imagination. It seemed that when writing related content, this "you can understand what it means just by looking at it" technique would also be suppressed by the "Forbidden Word Formula", leading to the failure of the technique.

Soon, Chen Huijie finished writing. After all, it was only the first edition, a draft for testing, so it was good enough to be completed. He clapped his hands, untied Lao Li's acupuncture points, handed him the new booklet, and said softly:

"Give it a try this time. It shouldn't cause you to go insane again. Also, give this bottle to Ah. Let him help you reverse engineer the ingredients. If he does a good job, I'll get him a copy of Mr. Blood's manuscript. Okay, I've wasted quite a bit of time here. I'm going to go take care of other things now. See you later."

After saying that, Chen Huijie flipped out of the window. Huai Hu, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but say:

"This hero... really likes to walk through windows. If only I could be that good at Qinggong, I'd have to try it anyway..."

"Don't even think about it. His Qinggong skills are not something that humans can practice. No, who is his teacher? It can't be the old Taoist priest, right? Ah!!!"

Ignoring the old carp who couldn't hold it any longer, Chen Huijie continued to head towards the Governor's Mansion. He had to ask the necessary questions clearly.

Just at this moment, Chen Huijie noticed something, stopped abruptly, and landed in the alley, quietly listening to the sounds outside the alley:

"Business is getting harder and harder these days. How about I follow you on the caravan?"

"Come on, just stay home. I'm telling you, there aren't just natural disasters and beast hordes in the wilderness; there are also roadblockers. Some time ago, some of these roadblockers were really ruthless and just smashed your goods. It was a real sin. Just wait and see. Once the natural disasters and beast hordes subside, those roadblockers will be back again."

The thugs who blocked the road...

Chen Huijie touched his chin and blinked, as if he remembered something...

291 Wen Yue: The Imperial Washboard!

Chen Huijie had an impression of the gangsters who intercepted people on the road. There were such gangsters in different countries... and even between different mobile cities. No matter what the reason was for them to choose such activities, the consequences were the same. For the mobile cities, these guys should be expelled and eliminated.

In the previous world line, whether when he was studying abroad or when he was guarding Longmen in the back, Chen Huijie had dealt with these guys, killing some and capturing some. During that period, the trade routes around Longmen were the safest.

In response to this, several mobile cities within Dayan sent people over to see what was going on and see if it could be replicated.

Then, on the first day that the envoys arrived at Longmen, they decisively gave up their thoughts on studying and began to take advantage of this opportunity to rest and relax in Longmen.

What's the point of learning? If they also had such a capable ranger, the trade routes around them would be as peaceful and safe as Longmen.

It seems that I have to change my work assignment this afternoon.

After listening to the conversation between the two people, Chen Huijie continued to head towards the Governor's Mansion, secretly thinking about his previous experience in fighting road thieves.

Just as the two Longmen citizens said, those criminals are the kind of people who live for the moment and will not store too many supplies for themselves. Relying on Longmen, a commercial city, and the numerous trade routes, they can always find new supplies.

However, the emergence of natural disasters and beast tides will undoubtedly put them in an embarrassing situation, but these criminals are also quite smart.

During the period when the trade routes first resumed, the first ones to set foot on the trade routes would definitely be the caravans of large enterprises or large organizations. It would not be an exaggeration to say that their business is worth thousands of dollars per second, and they would not waste their time.

However, everyone knows how strong the guards of these caravans are, and it would be a bit reckless to attack them, so it is most appropriate to avoid the limelight and wait until those large caravans are almost on their way before taking action.

And waiting like this will inevitably make the criminals even more vicious.

and.....

Chen Huijie took out his phone and opened the favorability system. This time, Jessica's character card was also successfully unlocked. On her personal exclusive page, he found a memo message -

[Note: July 27th, 1:21 PM. I didn't expect Jessica to seem so reserved, but after getting to know her, she was quite talkative. She said she'd been to Longmen before, and the mission went smoothly, but she ran into Rusty Hammer on her way out, which gave her a good fright.]

I didn't expect that the thing mentioned would happen at this point in time?

Chen Huijie touched his chin lightly. When Jessica told him about this, she excitedly held his hand and asked if he should leave Rhode Island right away. She called on her teammates from Black Steel International and acquaintances from Thor Industries, and took Chen Huijie back to Longmen to eliminate those Rust Hammer members.

It can be seen that this incident did leave a psychological trauma on Jessica. It was the first time that Chen Huijie saw this cat become so brave.

However, all the wilderness gangsters near Longmen had been wiped out long ago. Chen Huijie didn't know whether they had rusty hammers or not, but none of them could fight.

In response to this, Jessica said "Oh" in a daze, as if she had never expected this to happen. She didn't know what to do next. Until Amiya strolled here and called Jessica to help her, the matter came to an end.

As for the Rusty Hammer, it was a very mysterious organization. Before Chen Huijie started his study tour, he had seen official spokespersons from Colombia and Casimir repeatedly emphasize the terrorist background and style of this group. Giant companies such as Black Steel International, Thor Industries and Volvo Koczynski often condemned the Rusty Hammer's heinous acts of robbery and killing and took countermeasures.

Later, Chen Huijie also tried to understand this mysterious organization, but whether in Columbia or in Lungmen, the information about this loose group operating in the wilderness was very scattered, making it impossible for Chen Huijie to get accurate information.

However, one spring, Chen Huijie came into conflict with this Rusty Hammer. A caravan transporting daily necessities between mobile cities was setting out from Longmen, and then hundreds of ragged people blocked the caravan's way. At first, everyone thought they were ordinary robbers and thought they could just accept their bad luck. There was no need to risk their lives in a conflict, so they planned to give them some money to settle the matter peacefully.

But when the team leader got off the car and tried to negotiate with the other side, these people suddenly rushed forward and started to attack the pioneers, and then burned the supplies carried by the caravan and the flags of Da Yan and Victoria in front of everyone. Only five people in the entire caravan survived by chance, and the others were killed or missing in the conflict. The mob asked them to spread this matter and emphasized that these people were called "Rusty Hammers".

However, the first police officers in Victoria who received the call were obviously not very well-informed. They had never heard of the existence of the 'Rusty Hammer' and simply characterized the incident as robbery and murder in the wilderness. They also believed that these thugs might be thugs hired by other caravans or pioneers to disrupt the victims' actions.

However, in the following period, the number of such vicious incidents began to soar. The police finally realized that something was wrong and quickly reported the matter. Then Victorian officer Rita Scamander took on the task of investigating the matter.

Chen Huijie, who was visiting the Horn, also joined in as the messenger of [Longmen].

During this process, Horn unexpectedly gave Chen Huijie some information about this organization -

At first, the people of Colombia only thought that the Rusty Hammers were a group of bandits who made a living by robbing houses in the wilderness. Their behavior of leaving people alive after committing crimes to spread fear was exactly the same as that of traditional wilderness gangs, but everyone soon realized that this judgment was too hasty.

In that year alone, there were fifty-two major Rusty Hammer-related crimes across Colombia, and the victims were mostly organizations with official backgrounds and traveling with flags of various countries—pioneer groups, public servants’ convoys, and even federal troops were attacked.

Furthermore, individuals associated with large corporations are also targeted by the Rust Hammers, while ordinary travelers are completely unaffected. According to survivors who witnessed these attacks, the Rust Hammers' actions are often much more well-prepared than those of ordinary, haphazard robbers. They pre-arrange multiple ambush points, employ highly targeted tactics to target convoys from different countries, and maintain a clear purpose.

The Rust Hammers loot supplies, burn flags representing nations or organizations, and destroy related certification marks, and will only leave after they are sure they have left a deep impression and fear in the hearts of the survivors.

The Rust Hammers often chant slogans when carrying out such actions, calling themselves "Conquerors of the Wasteland" and "Avengers of Civilization," but the specific meaning of these actions is unclear.

Over the past fifty years, there have been reports of sightings of the Rusted Hammer in different regions of Terra. These reports indicate that the Rusted Hammer are alarmingly lacking in overall planning, operating in small groups most of the time. These small groups in different regions have vastly different styles of doing things, remaining consistent only in the most basic concepts, such as their names, methods of looting, and their claims.

The Rust Hammer advocates revenge against "civilization" itself, the destruction of civilization's creations, and the "return" of the Terran wilderness itself.

There are many specific manifestations of civilized creations. The most common one is the wasteland fleet mentioned above, which belongs to countries and large organizations, but there is no upper limit to this characterization.

Multiple observation reports from Columbia and Casimir claim that the Rust Hammer uses the most representative modern man-made object on Terra - the mobile city - as the ultimate symbol of civilization. Several independent investigation organizations have issued warnings of possible attacks, and believe that mobile cities near the Rust Hammer's activity area should remain highly vigilant.

Therefore, Horn had reason to suspect that those Rust Hammer members who suddenly appeared were heading for the mobile city. Although Horn believed that those guys did not have the ability to break through the defense of the mobile city, their actions would definitely cause certain harm to ordinary citizens, so they must be stopped.

Horn was very nervous, but Chen Huijie seemed very relaxed. He stopped Horn from applying for help. After all, they were just a group of bandits. He could walk around Syracuse with all his might and no one would survive the hour of midnight if he named them. How could he fall into the hands of these bandits?

So, Horn was pulled out of the city by Chen Huijie. They left in the morning and came back for dinner. The rusty hammers outside the city were almost cleared.

Then Chen Huijie planned to wait for Horn to report the matter briefly, and then go to eliminate the remnants of Rusty Hammer the next day.

But at that time, a man wearing a strange iron bucket suddenly found Chen Huijie. The man looked unusually burly, and he was also very enthusiastic. He was quite familiar and invited Chen Huijie and Haojiao to sit down at his stall.

"Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, my friend," he said. "You may call me Cannot, or Mr. Goodinough."

Horn was very alert. Facing this stranger, her first reaction was to hide behind Chen Huijie...

It's not that Haojiao likes to use others as shields, but in past actions, Haojiao has fully realized that Chen Huijie's weakness only exists in his teammates. As long as his teammates ensure their own safety, the rest of the team just needs to be cheerleaders. At the beginning, Haojiao was still not used to it, but later she followed Fengpi and shouted encouragement.

Chen Huijie sat down opposite Mr. Can Head and began to ask about his purpose. The attitude of this Cannot was very clear. He came here to protect the people of Rusty Hammer.

Cannot recounted the many "good things" Rusty Hammer had done, such as robbing the rich while sparing the poor, or disrupting Columbia's reckless mining of source stone veins, thus reducing the possibility of landslides and even earthquakes. Or perhaps he had done similar things with Casimir the Ranger, the Flame Country Knight, or the Victorian Outlaw.

but....

"Those who burn our Great Yan flag shall be executed! Anyone who speaks of forgiveness shall be punished as well!"

Chen Huijie had no intention of letting those rusty hammers go. At that moment, Cannot suddenly fell silent. Horn could feel that the atmosphere at the stall had become extremely solemn.

In the end, Cannot laughed again. He no longer spoke for the Rusty Hammer people, but just hoped that Chen Huijie would not be prejudiced against the entire Rusty Hammer organization.

At this moment, Horn couldn't help but ask, why did the Rust Hammer choose to use such extreme means to resist the illusory "civilization" they spoke of?

After listening to this, Cannot rested his forearms on the table, crossed his hands, was silent for a moment, and then said:

"They're frustrated - or, rather, angry - with this place."

He shook his iron head and motioned Chen Huijie and Haojiao to look into the distance. The location of his stall was perfect. As far as the eye could see were rows of office buildings and wide roads.

"People living in mobile cities are accustomed to taking skyscrapers, supermarkets, public transportation, intercity networks, personal terminals, tap water, and sewers for granted. Young people today even believe that the radishes and feather beast meat in the crisper boxes are grown in supermarkets—I wish I were kidding, but it's a sad fact. I've been wandering around cities for a long, long time and have seen a lot of bad things, but do you know what the saddest thing is?"

Horn and Chen Huijie remained silent, while Cannot spoke to himself:

"Everything here is meaningless. What's the point of living in this false prosperity? Everything under the modern civilization symbolized by the mobile city has lost the meaning of life itself."

After Cannott said this, Chen Huijie lost interest in listening any further. The times are always moving forward. Even if there is chaos ahead now, it is only a stepping stone to a new future. If we follow what Cannott said, then this world will have no meaning.

However, what Cannot said is still worth paying attention to, but that had nothing to do with Chen Huijie at that time. At that time, Chen Huijie pulled the horn and left Cannot's stall. Compared to thinking about the words of this jar head, Chen Huijie was more concerned about the little dragon girl Draco who was still lying on the bed in autism.

So, if I were to take action against Rust Hammer this time, would that Cannot still come out to plead for mercy? Hum, that guy... huh?

Chen Huijie looked at Madam Wen Yue, holding the golden washboard, and Governor Wei, hiding behind a pillar. He blinked silently. He floated out the same way he had floated in, closing the courtyard door in the process. Then, there was a gentle knock on the courtyard door...
