Terra Martial God and Merit System

Luo Chen strode into the office.

His clothes were tattered and had a big hole burned in it.

In his right hand he was pulling a rather large suitcase.

Lin Yuxia looked at Luo Chen who suddenly appeared and couldn't help but take a step back.

How should I put it... The smell of alcohol on him reminded her of the Ursus people she had met before. But the strong smell of blood on him made her imagine more.

Danger! very dangerous!

Lin Yuxia couldn't help but clench her spellcasting unit.

She had a hunch that if the other party wanted to attack, she might not even have the reaction time to cast a spell.

"Oh?" Luo Chen looked up and their eyes met.

Luo Chen looked her up and down carefully as if he had discovered something interesting.

"Excuse me..." Lin Yuxia felt a little flustered for some reason, "Who are you?"

"I am the city lord." Luo Chen said, he turned to look at Tallulah, "This is..."

Although he was surprised by the sudden appearance of the person here, Luo Chen did not call out the other person's name directly. After all, he had suffered a loss from Tallulah once.

"Lin Yuxia, from Longmen. She is...an old friend of mine." Tallulah sorted out the words and finally said.

"What are you doing here?" Luo Chen put the suitcase in a corner of the office.

"Talk about that job posting. She has a lot to say about business."

"I see." Luo Chen nodded casually, "Miss Lin, are you interested in this recruitment notice?"

"Yes, I'm interested." Lin Yuxia relaxed slightly. "There are countless organizations on this land, with various operating rules. These are all things we need to learn and draw lessons from."

"And the running of this city....I'm really interested in it."

"Then you have come to the right place." Luo Chen smiled, "Then can I assume that you are here for an interview?"

"Let's just say so." Lin Yuxia replied, "Then - City Lord, do you think I am qualified to go..."

"You passed the interview, and you are now the head of Kamsko's business department." Luo Chen interrupted what she was about to say, "You will start working this afternoon. The salary will be the same as your predecessor... For details, please contact Afk."

"Ah?" Lin Yuxia's brain didn't react immediately.

Even though she has been in the business world for a long time and has dealt with all kinds of people, she has also faced many people with changeable emotions and strange personalities.

But...Luo Chen's words still exceeded her imagination.

This...what is this?

To win over? Or is there another conspiracy?

"Wait! I'm not from Ursus. My nationality is..." Lin Yuxia wanted to explain immediately.

"What Ursus? Is this so important?" Luo Chen said casually, "I said yes, you are it. This is easy to understand, right?"

"......." Lin Yuxia felt that the person in front of her didn't seem to be very reasonable.

So she turned her attention to Tallulah.

"Uh...I..." Tallulah opened her mouth to say something.

"That's right!" Luo Chen snapped his fingers, "Your guarantor is Tallulah, and that's why I appointed you to this position."

"I haven't seen her for more than ten years..." Tallulah's words were weak, and it didn't seem like they could shake Luo Chen's decision.

"I...I...I can't be a minister of this." Lin Yuxia stood up and said, "I will go back next year, back to Longmen."

"Even if you appoint me now, I can't stay here forever."

"Next year." Luo Chen paused, "Does that mean you can still work for another winter?"

".... Lord Mayor... I'm really sorry... I'm just very interested in Kamsco's current situation. The only position I can take on may be something like 'business investigation'." Lin Yuxia said seriously.

"I don't think it is a wise decision to hand over such an important position to an outsider."

"You are not an outsider. Don't you know Tallulah?" Luo Chen retorted, "You two should have had a good chat when I left just now, right?"

".....I..." Lin Yuxia found that the social skills and self-cultivation that she had relied on before were all shattered under the attack of the man in front of her.

And... a person with blood on his body is trying to win you over. It's really disturbing, isn't it?

Not to mention that the other party is a powerful city lord.

Lin Yuxia began to think about the possibility of breaking out and escaping.

"Is there a slum in Longmen?" Luo Chen suddenly asked, realizing that he was a little anxious. If Lin Yuxia ran away, he would have to waste merit to chase her, which would be totally counterproductive.

So he decided to change his thinking.

"Of course." Lin Yuxia reacted.

"Have you seen the slums of Kamsk?" Luo Chen asked, "I think you would be very interested."

"......" Lin Yuxia thought for a moment, then nodded, "I've been there, and I'm really interested. I do have a lot of questions about this."

"I promise one thing." Luo Chen raised his hand and extended a finger, "As long as you become the Minister of Commerce, even if it's just for one winter, you will learn a lot."

"When you return to Longmen, you will probably just wave your hand and transform the slums. From now on, there will be no slums in Longmen, and everyone will live and work in peace..."

"Your father was so frightened that he jumped up - 'Oh my dear daughter is so amazing!'"

"That Dragon Gate City Lord is just being humble to you. After all, you changed Dragon Gate."

"And those who have conflicts with you - you must have had conflicts with someone. I guarantee that when you go back, they will be scared to death: this talented and resourceful business queen is really amazing!"

"All it takes is for you to be the Minister of Commerce for a while. Just for a while."

"This deal is so simple, if you think about it carefully you will know..."

Luo Chen opened his mouth and started to talk nonsense.

"....." A thoughtful expression appeared on Lin Yuxia's face.

She knew how much her father had sacrificed for the ghetto, and she knew that Longmen had deep-rooted problems.

Lin Yuxia, she really wanted an answer.

An answer that can solve all problems.

And now, there seemed to be one in front of her.

To be honest, Lin Yuxia was not willing to give up.

Luo Chen knew she had taken the bait, so he continued to persuade her - "Don't worry, our treatment is very good. You know this. And there is plenty of room for advancement, and the future prospects are bright..."

"I don't care about that." Lin Yuxia interrupted Luo Chen, "Do you really have the answer to the slum problem?"

"Absolute truth does not exist. And I don't like to tell others directly." Luo Chen smiled, "I can only say that if you agree to this position, you will understand it in the future."

"After all, what you realize yourself is always more real than what others say."

“That’s my promise.”

"..." Lin Yuxia didn't say anything, but silence is also a kind of response.

"Okay." Luo Chen clapped his hands excitedly. This time he really had a pillow when he was sleeping. "You are now the Minister of Kamsco's Commercial Department. Get familiar with the work first..."

"Oh, that box is the first thing you'll have to deal with."

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Chapter 60 Shocking Events

Luo Chen closed the door and walked out.

Something went wrong when withdrawing money, and he felt the need to clean up Kamsco's bank.

The reason I came back now is that I want to send the money over first.

"....." Lin Yuxia and Tallulah looked at each other.

"Oh." Lin Yuxia sighed.

She knew that this matter would probably be difficult to resolve. After all, Luo Chen had spoken personally, and if he wanted to use tough measures, none of their team would be able to escape.

Now I can only agree to the other party temporarily.

"Talulah, do you know what's in this?" Lin Yuxia looked at the box in the corner.

There was a large bloodstain on it, and considering the tattered clothes on Luo Chen, Lin Yuxia could immediately think of many things.

Corpses? Weapons? Or something else?

"I don't know," Tallulah replied stiffly.

"Then do you know what he did just now?"

"When he left, he said he was going to a banquet, but I felt that he might have gone to kill someone." Tallulah replied calmly.

"?" Lin Yuxia's face showed an incredible expression. "Murder? Murder who?"

"Some foreign merchants." Tallulah seemed to dislike this topic. "Let's open the box first... There shouldn't be anything harmful in it."

"Hmm..." Lin Yuxia felt a little uneasy.

It was strange that a lord of the Ursus mobile city went out to kill people during the day.

What could he bring back?

With her thoughts in a tizzy, Lin Yuxia used an Originium technique—transparent and solid colored glaze spread all over her body.

Now even if there really were some explosives inside, she didn't need to worry.

Protecting yourself is a kind of wisdom.

"Huh..." Lin Yuxia laid the suitcase flat. She found it was very heavy, as if it was filled with something.

"Wow——" She unzipped her pants.

Inside is...

A pile of banknotes?

Lin Yuxia took out one of the banknotes, which was obviously a sealed banknote. It was sealed and looked very new.

The air was filled with the smell of banknotes, a mixture of ink, ink and metal.

Lin Yuxia took out one and rubbed it for a while.

Through her experience, she can judge that——

The banknote in front of you is 100% authentic.

She looked carefully at the numbers below and found that they were all connected.

"This is the money in the bank...and..." Lin Yuxia lowered her head and made a rough estimate. There were about 10 million in this crammed suitcase.

This amount of money was already ridiculous. At least it was not a small amount. Even for some Ursus nobles, it was definitely not a small amount of money.

So...where did Luo Chen get it from?

"Could it be that...he robbed a bank?" Lin Yuxia guessed in a low voice.

"It's really possible." Tallulah heard her mumbling and immediately added.

"This joke is not funny." Lin Yuxia frowned.

"I'm not kidding."

"No kidding..." Lin Yuxia looked at the banknotes in front of her and blinked hard to calm her confused thoughts - "Do you know that the national banks in mobile cities are generally directly managed by the central government?"

Although Ursus was corrupt, it still held on to some powers very tightly. At least they banned the emergence of private banks in the country.

Generally speaking, when we talk about a bank, we are referring to the central bank.

The branches in various places have great power. Even the local nobles cannot control them at will.

"I know. I also guessed that he might have just killed the bank president." Tallulah continued, adding by the way - "This is very likely. Anyway, he must have killed someone just now."
