Chun went downstairs, and the gods there greeted him: "Hey Brother Chun!"
"Brother Chun, Silver City has officially been unlocked!"
"I heard that to make up for the developnt loss during the lockdown, the NPCs have released a reputation event to explore the continent, led by the advanced NPCs from the Adventurer's Guild. Players just need to coast along for experience, and there's a chance to learn hidden skills from the NPCs..."
"The Goddess Ning upstairs also bought a ticket to Black Iron City as soon as it was unlocked."
Chun was surprised, "She's also coming to Southern Canyon Village?"
"Yeah, the Xuewei Girl Corps are still low level, they really need professional experts to lead them for real developnt."
"And, Jiang Moyu, seeing the Goddess Ning move, also thought of bringing her girl group over to leverage Xuewei's popularity."
Holy shit, Jiang Moyu is that boring?
Another god laughed and said, "Actually, the Goddess Ning is coming just for Brother Chun, shouldn't Brother Chun act quickly?"
The gods imdiately jeered, "Yeah, Brother Chun, hurry up! Go knock on the third floor door!"
"Hey, you don't get it, Brother Chun wouldn't just go knocking. It's up to us to make the arrangents to show Brother Chun's prestige!"
Chun was flustered: "No, don't ss around, I'm going to eat, you guys take it easy."
"Take care, Brother Chun."

6 AM, Western Hemisphere ti.
Sariel went to bed late last night and got up early this morning.
He couldn't wait to check the progress of the pharmaceutical factory. Great, the whole city had taken the antidote, officially lifting the lockdown. Although the antidote wasn't perfect, not stopping the dicine was the best course of action.
The intelligence of the City Lord didn't disappoint either. Surely, an event was announced, even though the risk is high, but with the cooperation of professional players, the rewards are greater. It also disperses players into the wild, reducing the chain of plague spread.
Then he went to the aquarium to see the rmaids.
Outside the aquarium, people were bustling, all citizens celebrating and praying for the end of the lockdown.
anwhile, the exterior of the aquarium was also busy; over a thousand workers were hastily decorating and renovating. They were moving the Divine Throne that the church worships the Guardian God with into the aquarium. The flashy and child-friendly entertainnt ads on the outside were being stripped off to paint austere white walls with golden paint. The bottom had to be painted with a blue ocean to symbolize the sea's submission under the Holy Light...
As soon as Sariel appeared, he was imdiately surrounded by NPC reporters: "Respected Mr. Sariel, citizens and business associations have high expectations for the new Guardian God, such as completely eradicating the plague, eliminating sea demons, exterminating pirates, increasing fishery production, and expanding trade routes..."
The citizens' expectations were also what Sariel had in mind. After so much had been invested in rmaids, it was ti to reap the benefits.
Sariel smiled and responded, "The power of the Guardian God cos from the devout expectations of all city citizens. But devotion is not just words; it needs to be put into action. For example, for the mobilization expenses of the Guardian God, major business associations must lead the way and show their responsibility by raising funds. Ordinary citizens can express their devotion even if they raise just one Mining Coin a day. The more they contribute, the more devout they are, and the Guardian God can feel their intent and grant blessings…"
The crowd erupted into applause!
Sariel entered the "no entry during construction" stage of the aquarium.
He saw the rmaid radiating Holy Light alongside Remia, dressed in a swimsuit, frolicking in the pool. Now, Remia was the exclusive Divine Envoy of the Guardian God.
Sariel was very pleased, the female Guardian God and the Silver Flower were finally in his golden cage.
First, he paid his respects: "Greetings, Divine Throne, greetings, Divine Envoy."
The rmaid tossed aside the tablet showing the play: "You're here, huh? I heard the people's call; I want to do sothing. When do we set out?"
Sariel was even more satisfied: "We can set out right away! It's just that the cruise ship is still under repair, so we'll have to use the warship—"
The rmaid was impatient: "Just the warship, then!"
"As you wish!"
Sariel had already planned everything last night.
The first action was, of course, to bombard Plague Island. Although it's not economical, the main culprit of the infectious source must be punished to boost morale and strengthen devout faith. For this reason, reporters also needed to be brought along for real-ti battlefield reporting.
The second action was to seize the pirates' lair. This was previously unachievable, but now, with the rmaids and whales, it was more doable. The problem, however, was that pirates were sly and wouldn't usually store treasures at their base, risking a total wipeout. Instead, they'd stash treasures worldwide and take the chance to sell fake treasure maps for profit.
So this venture might not earn money. But weakening the pirates still boosts reputation and devout faith. More importantly, it breaks the collusion chain between Chun and the pirates.
The third action is to decisively battle with the Sirens. This could require extensive searches and isn't economical either. But it could serve as an excuse to deploy the navy.
Thus, to truly realize profits… as Michael previously suggested, perhaps it's best to let the rmaids fend for themselves in the Sea of Creation. But that's a bottom-tier data-mountain hell with all sorts of random stat monsters, a high-risk scenario. (Note: Chapter 41 "Wanted Escape, Sea Soul").
In any case, let's bombard Plague Island first...
...
8 PM.
Chun had so drinks and took a stroll on the pedestrian street to unwind. Although he wasn't deliberately slacking off, both his accounts were idling with no pressing matters, so there was no need to be overly anxious.
Upon return, he encountered the security patrol, gave a nod as a greeting. He felt this security firm was really capable. How long was their promotion going to last?
Returning to the internet café, the gods eagerly called out: "Brother Chun, Sariel has taken the rmaid and the Silver Flower aboard the warship and has been out for over two hours..."
"They're aboard the two strongest warships, the Silver Queen, and the Silver Duke. Plus, there's the whale."
Holy shit!!
Chun's heart tightened! The epidemic has settled, and there's no Siren causing trouble, so it could only an…
However, he relies on Old Whale rmaid's internal connection for reassurance.
Feigning calmness, Chun laughed: "Surely they're not here to hunt down, right?"
This ti, the gods did not brush it off as they usually would; instead, they listened intently for him to continue.
It seed they too realized the gravity of the situation.
Chun continued nonchalantly, "It's nothing; the island has nothing but plague. You guys keep busy!"
The gods also loosened up, "Take your ti, Brother Chun."
...
Returning to the private room, he logged in imdiately.
——System ssage: It is now 8:06 AM on the Golden Continent.
——System ssage: Congratulations! Through Soul Link, you have shared your clone's Interdiate Construction Technique Level 1.
...
——System ssage: Congratulations!… Interdiate Construction Technique Level 10.
——System ssage: You have entered the waters of the Sea of a Thousand Islands.
——System ssage: Warning! Your "Whale God Guardian" skill has received a warning of an attack on Plague Island from Old Whale.
Holy shit!
Old Whale sent the warning; they're really attacking Plague Island!
Aileen spoke: "They're here, just now, I heard Old Whale's warning. I don't know if Guardian God Nancy can handle it. It's too far here, and the association channel can't be reached."
Honestly, there's nothing on the island; Chun really hopes she doesn't deal with it. Engaging with the rmaids could cause internal consumption and expose himself; it's better if she hides!
Chun forced himself to remain calm: "Let's wait for Old Whale's next update."
