Terra Martial God and Merit System

"What weird things are you talking about?" Tallulah looked at him.

"Nothing. I'll give you the position of city lord's deputy when I get back." Luo Chen was in a good mood.

In his opinion, with just a little training, Tallulah would surely become an extremely powerful tool. By then, all the troublesome government affairs would be thrown to her, and Luo Chen would only be responsible for taking care of others. Merit would surely come from heaven.

"Why are you so confident..." Tallulah looked at him carefully again, "You are not the emperor. Why are you so arrogant?"

"Emperor Ursus is nothing. If you want it, I will give you the whole Victoria in the future..." Luo Chen laughed, "Emperor Ursus? Haha... He is nothing!"

Tallulah frowned. Why did she feel that... there seemed to be something wrong with this person's brain?

Chapter 41: Should be a good person

"Let me introduce you. This is my first secretary and part-time chief bodyguard."

"Sartre."

Luo Chen pointed at the Sarkaz girl in front of him who was enjoying the freedom of ice cream.

"This one is even more important, Hellagur. He is a former general and is said to be a well-known figure on the battlefield. He is now the commander of the city defense... Oh, by the way, General, please take care of the security work as well."

"I killed a few bad guys today. Go and clean them up quickly."

"......" Herag didn't say anything, just looked up at Luo Chen, then sighed tiredly, "I know."

"This is Afk. He is the talent I invited. As the saying goes, great people hide themselves in the world..."

.......

Luo Chen introduced his subordinates to Tallulah, and then pointed at Tallulah.

"Look everyone. This is a talented girl I recently discovered. She has enormous potential. If she explodes, her power will be enough to sweep across the entire earth."

"From now on she will be my deputy when I am not around. Her words will be my words..."

Luo Chen praised Tallulah so highly that her face turned a little red.

She reached out and pulled Luo Chen's clothes, whispering, "Stop talking."

"Okay, Sister Tazi." Luo Chen nodded.

"Don't give me weird names." Tallulah frowned.

"I understand, Little Tower."

"Everyone said no..."

"Okay. That's it for now, everyone go back to work. Tallulah, come with me first to familiarize yourself with the working environment." Luo Chen waved his hand, then pulled Tallulah out of the office.

"Where are we going?" Tallulah asked.

"The slums." Luo Chen replied, "Just follow me."

Luo Chen thought about the development of Tallulah's original plot and felt that the slums would be the best place to train her.

He took Tallulah to the slums and called out the person in charge there.

This is a short-haired woman named Mexia. She was originally a doctor in a clinic in the slums. After Afke went to the City Lord's Mansion, Luo Chen arranged for her to be fully responsible for the continued transformation of the slums.

"How's the situation recently?" Luo Chen asked.

"The reception of the victims is proceeding steadily. Two-thirds of the clearing of the ruins has been completed... What we lack now is not cold-resistant supplies and food, but building materials..." Mejia reported.

"I have already sorted out the reconstruction plan. Now we just need to build a temporary shelter that can survive the winter." Luo Chen replied.

"In this case... there is still a shortage. Mainly because there are too few tents. According to the current situation, people may freeze to death in the winter." Mejia said helplessly.

"Your thoughts?"

"There is actually a clothing factory in the city." Mejia said, "If possible, we can ask them to produce more tents. Then buy them... or contact the caravan outside..."

"Contact the caravan first and negotiate the price of building materials. If you need money, ask Herag. I will talk to the clothing factory." Luo Chen quickly ordered. "Which ruins have not been cleaned up yet?"

“East and North....”

"I'll go help first." Luo Chen turned and left, waving his hand before leaving - "Tallulah, you can walk around by yourself. If you don't understand, ask Mexia."

Luo Chen strode out, leaving Tallulah standing there.

She tilted her head and looked at Luo Chen's back.

"Isn't he afraid that I'll sneak away?"

"Or...?"

Tallulah looked out the door of the tent at the lively camp.

She could not see any sadness or pain, only relief and happiness on the faces of the people passing by.

Many people were working, including cleaning the streets and moving supplies, and everything seemed to be in order.

It seemed that this was not a refugee camp, but a construction site. Tallulah was curious about all this, so she asked Mejia this question.

"Well... maybe we are doing well?"

"At least everyone can have enough to eat. No need to worry about freezing to death." Mejia said after thinking for a moment.

"Full? How full?" Tallulah was a little confused.

"It's about three meals a day, with dessert every few days," said Mexia.

"Is that so?" Tallulah looked at her in disbelief. "You give food rations to the disaster victims every day, right?"

"Not only are there three meals a day, but there are also desserts every few days?"

"Uh... this is the mayor's rule." Mexia was stunned for a moment and replied, "Originally there was no dessert, but he insisted on having it. He also said that everyone became happy after eating it..."

"..." Tallulah now understood why the atmosphere in the camp was so high.

The food these disaster victims eat every day may be better than before the disaster.

Tallulah had investigated the situation of the infected people in Ursus. Some of the lower-class serfs ate food that was not human food every day. In comparison, the food enjoyed by the disaster victims was almost the same as the "last meal before execution".

"Where did he get all this food..." Tallulah wanted to ask, but was stuck.

She remembered that Luo Chen had recently "live-streamed" the robbery of a grain transport convoy.

Flipping through the report, Tallulah saw a lot of inexplicably large amounts of money coming in. Behind each of these amounts was a line of small print: "Special Offer."

Tallulah knew that this was stolen.

"No, I must tell him. Robbery is not the right way, especially after he became the city lord." Tallulah silently took note of this matter. At the same time, she felt a little touched in her heart -

This man seemed to be really different from those nobles. He was really willing to pay for these "low-class people" in the eyes of others.

It's just that the method is a bit abnormal...and there seems to be something wrong with the brain.

His approach was too rough. The more Tallulah sorted things out, the clearer one thing became.

Everything, including the 50,000 disaster victims, the remaining 100,000 people in Kamsk, and the short-haired woman next to him...

Everything they have is built on Luo Chen.

If Luo Chen didn't exist, all 50,000 disaster victims would have died.

In other words, they are walking on a tightrope and could fall into the abyss at any time.

If Luo Chen gets into trouble or makes a mistake, it will cause a serious chain reaction.

"It's too dangerous..." Tallulah felt like she was on a pirate ship. And a very dangerous one at that.

But to be honest, she has no regrets.

Because since that childhood separation, this is the first time someone has said that they will protect her forever. Although Tallulah doesn't think Luo Chen can beat Kosice.

But anyway...

At least he said it.

Although it looks a bit unconventional.

Tallulah didn't know how Luo Chen found her. Logically, they didn't know each other. But their actions since they met made Tallulah feel...

Although the other party is strange, he should be a good person.

Maybe?

Chapter 42 Riot

Luo Chen slept in a tent at night.

He didn't realize how difficult it would be to clean up the remaining debris before he helped, and he wasted some time inadvertently.

Since he couldn't go back to the City Lord's Mansion, Luo Chen simply found a tent to sleep in.

The victims welcomed this.

Luo Chen was tired and fell asleep quickly. However, early the next morning, someone was lying on top of him and shaking him.

"Who?" Luo Chen just dreamed that he traveled to a high-level martial arts world and killed everyone. With a wave of his hand, the planets exploded one by one. The feeling of comfort made Luo Chen almost ascend to heaven. Now that he was woken up, he was immediately angry. He opened his eyes wide and sat up.

"It's me!" The one lying on Luo Chen was Tallulah.

She looked at Luo Chen with a very complicated look.

She knew everything about what happened when Talulah was in the Black Snake Organization and Luo Chen became the city lord. Or rather, she had seen it with her own eyes.

According to Tallulah's own understanding, Luo Chen's fighting skills were already very impressive. He could make a name for himself in any mercenary group or organization.

All in all, even without that strange "earl" appointment, Luo Chen should be a decent person.

But at this moment Luo Chen did not look like a decent man at all, and it was even hard to imagine that he was a count.

He was wearing a tattered cotton coat with several holes scratched by stones, and the cotton wool was leaking out. His whole body was covered in dust, and it was obvious that he had worked in a hurry.

When Tallulah found him in the tent, Luo Chen was lying under the dirty quilt, grinning foolishly.

This is why Tallulah felt so mixed up—an Count of Ursus actually slept in the tents of the disaster victims and even helped them rebuild their homes.

Tallulah had never seen or heard of it.

Kosice only taught her that 'the weak must be ruled', but not that 'the strong should help'.

Because to the nobles, these things were menial jobs that did not reflect their noble values ​​at all.

And Luo Chen did it. And he was also an earl, the master of a special district.

It's really... so weird.

"Tallulah, are you stupid? Why are you in a daze?" Luo Chen couldn't stand it anymore when he saw Tallulah waking him up and pretending to be mute.

He was dreaming a sweet dream, but now Tallulah had destroyed him. If it weren't for the fact that this person in front of him was worth 5,000 merits, Luo Chen would definitely teach her a lesson.

"Oh...ah!" Tallulah bit her lip as she came to her senses. "My bad..."

"So what exactly happened?"

"Public security issues. The general wants to ask you about public security issues. He said he is a little unsure since he just took over the city defense force."

"Oh, I was too busy yesterday. I forgot about the organization I was with before. They were a spy organization under Kosice and seemed to be planning something..."

[Tolerating evildoers, merit -300]

Luo Chen didn't hear what Tallulah said next. He just looked at the words floating in front of him, his mouth wide open.

"Tolerating evildoers? Are you kidding me?!" Luo Chen stood up. "I'll be there now."

He rushed out of the tent and leaped to a high place. Then he spent his merits——

【Please pay 150 merits...】

"Don't waste time!" Luo Chen snorted coldly and quickly paid the merit. Then he looked at the location indicated by the cursor.

As soon as Tallulah ran out, she could only see Luo Chen's back getting farther and farther away.

........

"It's his soup! Otherwise why would my child be in the hospital?"

"I've been doing this for more than ten years, how could there be a problem?!"
