Skull must drag Ming Shu to level up, but Ming Shu only wanted to be with her snacks and didn't want to move. So basically she just followed behind Skull to collect some free experience. 
Past midnight, the First Level's people were offline to sleep, but Ming Shu instead became energetic. She caused Chang'an Alliance to hunt her down for another round all over the world. 
When Ming Shu finally got rid of the pursuing forces, she looked up to see Xi Zi Lin standing nearby. 
She clicked the map and found she actually arrived at the Dark Night Corridor. 
There were very few players right now, and Ming Shu's appearance was eye-catching. Xi Zi Lin ran over obediently. 
[Private chat] Xi Zi Lin: Guru guru, you're still awake? 
[Private chat] Snacks Are Justice: Cultivation. 
[Private chat] Xi Zi Lin: Ah??? 
Xi Zi Lin didn't seem to understand the meaning, but she didn't think more and continued typing. 
[Private chat] Xi Zi Lin: Guru, can you do a mission with me? It's too late, I can't find other players to team up with me. 
The minimum number for entering the Dark Night Corridor was two. 
Xi Zi Lin couldn't do it alone. 
[Private chat] Snacks Are Justice: Why should I help you? 
I need your Hatred Points, how come I'd help you? 
[Private chat] Xi Zi Lin: No no no, you don't have to help me, guru, you just need to enter with me. 
[Private chat] Xi Zi Lin: I didn't find anyone else… 
Ming Shu intended to leave, but she walked back after taking a few steps. 
[Private chat] Snacks Are Justice: Team up now. 
[Private chat] Xi Zi Lin: Guru, you're so kind. 
Kind? 
I'll let you know how kind I am later. 
Dark Night Corridor's boss was actually not hard to defeat, after all the boss was only level 40. But the feather Ming Shu said rarely shed. It was said some players tried for a month straight yet found nothing. 
After they began the mission, Xi Zi Lin began to beat up small monsters first. She looked technically skilled now compared to at the underground palace. 
After finishing all the small monsters, the big boss was the only trouble left. 
The big boss would go crazy in the end, and the game guide said the player needed to interrupt it in the process. 
Xi Zi Lin was about to interrupt the big boss, then a dazzling skill light flashed in front of her and blocked the big boss. 
Then her character was dead. 
[Private chat] Xi Zi Lin: Guru…
[Private chat] Snacks Are Justice: By mistake, one more time? 
Ming Shu said very sincerely and Xi Zi Lin couldn't blame her. 
The two entered the mission again. 
But the ending was the same. 
Xi Zi Lin died again. 
[Private chat] Xi Zi Lin: Guru, I can finish it alone. 
[Private chat] Snacks Are Justice: Don't you need my help? 
I don't believe that she will not be angry. 
[Private chat] Xi Zi Lin: …
As soon as Ming Shu helped, the boss would go crazy and she would be killed. Can't she just not help?
[Private chat] Xi Zi Lin: Okay. 
[Private chat] Snacks Are Justice: Do we need to do it again? 
[Private chat] Xi Zi Lin: Guru, don't you sleep?
[Private chat] Snacks Are Justice: Cultivation. 
I have to gain your Hatred Points, sleep? Nonsense. 
[Private chat] Xi Zi Lin: Then… let's try again. 
Xi Zi Lin wanted Ming Shu to stand by, and she had typed the words, but then deleted them. 
What followed was that Xi Zi Lin died again and again in the mission. 
Dead. 
Dead. 
Dead ×N. 
Ming Shu made up her mind to turn the Dark Night Corridor into a nightmare for Xi Zi Lin. She'll be angered to hell. I'll continue. 
[Private chat] Xi Zi Lin: Guru, I… I want to sleep. 
If this continued, I would really have a shadow. 
[Private chat] Snacks Are Justice: We'll continue tomorrow? 
Xi Zi Lin didn't answer for a long time. As Ming Shu thought she had fallen asleep, Xi Zi Lin sent a message. 
[Private chat] Xi Zi Lin: See you tomorrow, guru. 
Then in the next few days, except for hunting down Yan Ru Meng and God of nine suns rises all over the world, Ming Shu's daily task was to take Xi Zi Lin and help her get killed. 
[Private chat] Skull: Hey big brother, what are you doing all day with that Xi Zi Lin? I told you to level up and you won't come, look at your poor low level now, aren't you ashamed to be concerned with love and romance? 
[Private chat] Snacks Are Justice: I'm busy being a profiteer, I don't have time to level up. 
[Private chat] Skull: I don't believe this. You've been losing yourself recently! Even if Yan Ru Meng doesn't like you, you don't have to pick up someone casually. Who knows if this one is male or female. It's great to be single. Look at me, big brother, you need to cheer up!! 
Right, rumors in the world said that "he" aimed at Yan Ru Meng because Yan Ru Meng didn't like him. 
F**k, these little goblins don't even ask for my opinion before they make up rumors. 
I was obviously wanting the fake female protagonist to hate me! 
[Private chat] Snacks Are Justice: I am really making money. 
What should I eat if I don't make money!
I have my professional integrity! 
In order to make Skull believe her, Ming Shu specially showed him screenshots of recent transaction chatting records. But Skull yelled a lot after reading those, as if Ming Shu had done something super evil by being an evil merchant at this time. 
[Private chat] Skull: Do you know that Xiao Ji's team has almost completed the equipment preparation recently? 
[Private chat] Skull: But our team, you're not even at max level now, and Little Rabbit Gu… Dear god, I don't even want to mention it, I'm so angry. 
[Private chat] Snacks Are Justice: Then why haven't you gone to equip the team, what are you doing here with me? 
[Private chat] Skull: Okay okay okay, you're the big brother. 
No matter what Skull said, Ming Shu just ignored him. Finally Skull had to turn off the private chat and went to train other worthless team members. 
...
[System Announcement] The 50th floor of the underground palace is opened. Fifteen days to the birth of the devil king, all players should work hard to stop the devil king from being born. 
When Ming Shu saw this news she was refining medicine with the mushrooms. After reading the news, she continued her work as if nothing had happened. 
Maybe it's because the countdown to the devil king's birth was getting shorter and shorter, both Liu Yan and God of nine suns rises didn't care about Ming Shu much then. Even if they met each other, they would avoid her, or if that didn't work, they would go offline. 
But unlike the others, Xiao Ji was online less. 
[Private chat] Xi Zi Lin: Guru, do we go for missions today? 
Xi Zi Lin reported to Ming Shu on time everyday, although she had almost become an expert on being killed on missions. 
[Private chat] Snacks Are Justice: Of course. 
Xi Zi Lin was already waiting. As soon as Ming Shu arrived, she opened the mission interface. 
[Private chat] Xi Zi Lin: Guru, do you want to enter the underground palace mission? I heard that players will get rewards if they reach below the 50th floor. Some players even got orange equipment. 
[Private chat] Snacks Are Justice: Oh. 
I can make an orange costume by myself, so why should I bother getting one down there. 
[Private chat] Xi Zi Lin: Guru, you really don't want to go there? 
[Private chat] Snacks Are Justice: Do you? 
[Private chat] Xi Zi Lin: I want to… but no one wants to take me. I'm not skilled, and those players who teamed up with me all dislike taking me… 
[Private chat] Snacks Are Justice: You can play the woman, and there will be a lot of players who want to take you. 
[Private chat] Xi Zi Lin: … I can't, I'm not that kind of person. 
[Private chat] Snacks Are Justice: It's just a game, and you only need to type a few words on the screen. Who knows what kind of person is at the other side of the computer. 
[Private chat] Xi Zi Lin: That doesn't work either!!
[Private chat] Xi Zi Lin: Guru, let's just finish this mission. 
Xi Zi Lin changed the topic swiftly and concentrated on killing monsters. 
[Private chat] Snacks Are Justice: If it weren't for my ugly image, I would also want to use my beauty. 
The Host should take all the blame. Why did she choose an ugly hunk? I can't even find a little girl who will cook for me. 
[Private chat] Xi Zi Lin: …
Xi Zi Lin looked at the ugly hunk beside her. She thought again that she was accepting all kinds of abuse for standing by him. 
[Private chat] Xi Zi Lin: Guru, sometimes appearance doesn't mean anything. It's the soul that matters. 
[Private chat] Snacks Are Justice: I am shallow. I value face. 
[Private chat] Xi Zi Lin: … 


Imagine having the opportunity to be able to enter different worlds created by numerous novels and stories. Which kind of role would you like to play? 

Do you want to be the illustrious protagonist, either good or evil; or just be a supporting role standing behind the protagonists? 

Our villain boss Ming Shu would, however, choose none of the above. Claiming missions from the Harmony System, and driven by her endless passion for snacks, the world traveler, Ming Shu, embarks on the path to make the mission target hate her as much as possible by gaining Hatred Points. But it turns out she is not alone on her journey… 
 


"Invite me for a meeting? From the Yan Manor?" Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue exchanged quick glances with each other. He still seemed indifferent, while a hint of mischief appeared in Helian Wei Wei's eyes.
The servant who informed her nodded and said, "Old Master Yan said that he would like to give you a welcome banquet as you have just taken office."
Helian Wei Wei began to laugh as she replied, "I don't even know this Old Master Yan, why is he making a welcome banquet for me?"
"Master, there's no need to worry. Old Master Yan would do the same every time a new county magistrate takes office. From my humble point of view, this seems perfectly normal."
However, he did not realize that he had unintentionally revealed Old Master Yan's tricks with that reply.
It must be troublesome to deal with a merchant that understood the way things worked in politics.
She presumed that it would be better to meet them earlier rather than later. Since the invitation had arrived, she decided to attend it, even if it was a trap for them to take her life.
Helian Wei Wei folded the invitation card in her hands, saying, "Fine, lead me there..."
The banquet was held at the best tavern in Fuping County, which was greatly popular throughout the county. Every dish they served was very expensive, so it was a place that the normal commoners could never patronize.
The owner of this tavern was none other than Old Master Yan.
Old Master Yan and his people had already arrived. It seemed that he lived an extravagant life, wearing a huge golden ring on his finger as he sipped his tea lackadaisically.
Private Advisor Zhang was standing beside him, bowing his head while muttering something to him. 
Upon hearing his words, Old Master Yan laughed and said, "As the saying goes, a new broom sweeps clean, he is clearly overly passionate about his new position. This Wei fellow has some guts, but do not worry. I won't start a feud with him so quickly, let's see how he behaves later. If he knows his place, then I will forget about this matter. The most important thing is that Magistrate Liao wants to make friends with him. Is that correct, Magistrate Liao?"
Private Advisor Zhang was astonished when he heard the news. Magistrate Liao is influential and has jurisdiction over a few counties, why would he be interested in our newly-appointed Lord Wei?
Magistrate Liao lifted his teacup and took a sip of tea. Then, he said, "The imperial court has allocated some funds specifically for Fuping County two days ago. However, the money is managed by Lord Wei. We have to rope him in if we want to lay our hands on it."
"Allocated specifically for Fuping County?" Old Master Yan had not heard the news before. Looking slightly surprised, he asked, "How capable is this Lord Wei for the imperial court to designate funds for him? Could it be that he has powerful people supporting him?"
Private Advisor Zhang's eyes widened as he uttered, "It seems unlikely. I have asked him about it this morning. He doesn't look like he has someone supporting him from behind. Furthermore, he is dressed very ordinarily."
"Both of you have been following me for too long, your minds have become too complicated." Magistrate Liao burst into laughter, and then said, "What influence can he have? It's just sheer coincidence. The Retired Emperor has his eyes on the Hebei region recently. Furthermore, our Fuping County has a huge jujube yield and they are selling well. Of course, they will give us some benefits."
Old Master Yan let out a sigh of relief, saying, "I see, but it's hard to say for now. Let's be nice to the Wei fellow when he arrives later. As long as he's on board with us, then we will be able to acquire the money."
"That's right," said Magistrate Liao. Then, he turned his head around and instructed Private Advisor Zhang, "You should stay close with this fellow since he is a new official. I inquired about him before. He may be a little book-smart, but he has very few friends. He doesn't know the turns and twists in politics yet, thus he doesn't realize he would vex some people when doing things according to his methods. For this kind of person, rope him in if possible. If we fail, we can still react promptly when trouble arises."
Private Advisor Zhang nodded and replied, "I found him hard-hearted when I saw him handling things this morning. He ignored my attempt to stop him and arrested the people from the Yan Manor. When I think about it now, I believe it's because he's still new to the job and hasn't learned his lessons yet."
When all was said and done, the fact remained that he was just a trivial character. There was no need for them to care much about him.
The three persons were chatting when the waiter announced, "Lord Wei has arrived!"
Private Advisor Zhang and Old Master Yan exchanged glances, an evil smirk appeared on their faces. Then, they stood up and walked toward Helian Wei Wei to welcome her, as she pushed the door to enter.
"Oh, so you are Lord Wei, a hero among the young men! Magistrate Liao, look at him. It's a rare sight to see such a young County Magistrate in the government." Old Master Yan behaved politely when he saw Helian Wei Wei, but only time would tell if he was truly sincere.
Helian Wei Wei answered calmly, "You must be Old Master Yan, I've heard so much about you."
"You're welcome. Come, please have a seat! Everyone else too!" He looked at her and greeted her. When he saw Baili Jia Jue behind her, he was stunned by his unusual presence for a moment. Then, he inquired, "Who is this?"
Magistrate Liao had also noticed Baili Jia Jue. Although he had met many important individuals, he had never seen a man as exquisitely handsome as him.
Helian Wei Wei stood in front of Baili Jia Jue as she uttered mindlessly, "This is my private advisor, his surname is Long."
Private advisor? Doesn't the yamen already have Private Advisor Zhang?
He even brings his private advisor along to take office. Isn't this clearly a slap on Private Advisor Zhang's face?
Magistrate Liao squinted at him.
The corner of Private Advisor Zhang's mouth had obviously stiffened as he said, "I see Lord Wei has brought along your private advisor."
Helian Wei Wei muttered a yes coldly and nonchalantly said, "Private Advisor Long and I are going to take office together, I suppose Private Advisor Zhang hasn't gone through the official notice yet."
Indeed, Private Advisor Zhang had not perused it carefully yet. He recalled that he had immediately jumped into the welcoming preparation when he saw that a new county magistrate had been appointed, not bothering to read it fully about who would be the private advisor.
Old Master Yan noticed Private Advisor Zhang's awkward expression, so he stood up abruptly and helped him out of the predicament, saying, "Lord Wei, let us have a seat first. Ah, let's sit down and chat. The dishes are going to be cold soon."
Helian Wei Wei did not refuse and sat down with a smile on her face while Baili Jia Jue kept mum for the entire time, appearing apathetic as he rotated the teacup in his hand.
Since he was only a private advisor, they did not need to care too much about him.
Old Master Yan thought that he was someone important, causing his heart to sank heavily with a thud. It seemed that he was simply an ordinary man with a pretty face.
Despite that, Private Advisor Zhang still felt embarrassed. As he was sitting down, he complained, "Why does this tea taste so bad? Let me go down and ask the waiter to change it."
As he spoke, each syllable was burning with ire.
Magistrate Liao shook his head as he watched Private Advisor Zhang leaving. Then, he smiled at Helian Wei Wei and said, "Private Advisor Zhang has a short fuse, please don't take it to heart."
Helian Wei Wei gazed at Magistrate Liao's face and said, "Excuse me, who are you?"
Old Master Yan smiled again and chimed in, "Lord Wei is indeed still new to this, you haven't even met Magistrate Liao. Shouldn't you meet the magistrate first before you start working here?"


She, a 21st century mercenary queen, had crossed over into a tragically betrayed body of a waste. Waste? She will show them what it means to be a waste!
Betrayed? With the Ancient Manual in her hands, she will astonish all the despicable men and cheap women!
Wait! Didn’t everyone say that she was an evil woman which everyone feared? Why is his Third Highness, full of mystery and charisma, so interested in her?

"You're off work? "
Yi Yu heard a seductive voice from the other side. Yi Yu acknowledged, "the boss has turned into a workaholic again today. Ah Ah AH, when he's strict, it's really scary. "
"where are you and your parents planning to have lunch at noon? "
"Lan Club. " Yi Yu felt her tail rise. "This club is very difficult to book. Am I very good? "
The other side suddenly laughed. "Yes, very good. Do you want me to pick you guys up? "
"No need. What's your identity? " Yi Yu directly refused. "I'll just drive over to pick up my mother. I'll contact you later. "
After hanging up the phone, Yi Yu went to the LAN club in a good mood.
Taking out the reservation card, the waiter politely took Yi Yu upstairs.
"Miss Yi Yu, please follow me this way. "
Yi Yu must be a private room with a very wide view. From the window, one could even see the garden outside. There were many flowers of various colors and even different seasons growing on it.
The waiter brought her to the private room, but she was surprised to see a group of people already inside. Even the waiter was baffled. Why was there someone here at this time.
"manager, what's going on? "
The waiter pulled the manager to the side and asked. The manager immediately said, "quickly get someone to serve the dishes. The best dishes in the entire CLUBHOUSE, quickly! ! "
The waiter was completely confused. "manager, isn't this private room reserved? Did this lady book this private room yesterday? "
The manager looked at Yi Yu who was standing at the back with some bafflement. He felt that it was not a big deal. "Can't we just let this guest book another private room? Director Zhang's wife likes this private room. Let this lady change it. "
Change the private room?
Yi Yu felt a little uncomfortable. This private room was considered one of the better ones in the LAN club. She had already spent more than half of her salary on this. Why should she let it go?
Was there anyone who took advantage of others like this?
"I'm sorry, manager. There's a first come, first served rule, right? I clearly booked this private room beforehand. There's no reason to give it up for no reason, right? "
The lobby manager knew that he was in the wrong, but director Zhang absolutely could not be offended.
"Miss, we can discuss this properly. How about this, come over with me first. "
The group of people who were sitting and chatting finally looked over. Today, director Zhang happened to bring his wife and daughter over for dinner. Du Tao was originally just sitting with them, but he did not expect to run into Yi Yu here.
"Oh, so it's Miss Yi. "
The love rival's eyes were especially red when they met, even though Yi Yu did not admit that Du Tao was her love rival.
If it were not for Yi Yu, Zhou Tianyang would never have broken up with him Thinking about how his usually loving lover had resolutely broken up with him the day before yesterday, Du Tao's heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife. The Way He looked at Yi Yu was a little green and gloomy, looking too gloomy.
"Mr. Du Tao. " Yi Yu smiled slightly and said calmly, "this private room was booked by me first. If it's convenient, please move to another place. "
Du Tao looked at Yi Yu with a sinister smile.
He turned to look at Mrs. Zhang. "Mrs. Zhang, look. "
Du Tao's tone was a little awkward. When he thought about how the fierce Mrs. Zhang had heard that someone had snatched the private room from her, he was instantly displeased.
"What's wrong with you? What's wrong with the private room you booked? Can you lose a piece of meat if you change to another private room? "
Yi Yu looked at Mrs. Zhang's rich face. She was probably over forty years old. When she heard that Yi Yu was unwilling to change to another private room, her entire face was gloomy.

On the day of her escape from prison, she had died unexpectedly and was reborn into the body of Madam Huo.
He was the heir to the number one financial magnate. She had charged out of nowhere and from then on, the obedient and weak Madam Huo had started to awaken. She had been trampled under her feet.
Huo Shao had expressed that since she had already been conquered, wouldn't it be too unfair for her if she did not give her body to him?
The muzzle of the gun was aimed at her head, "I only lost my wife and did not divorce. Choose between loving me or dying for love. "
Gu Ruochu,"..."
Do I still have a choice?

The patch of land that Zhang Tie chose was in the southwest of Youzhou Province. The core region of the land was a part of Yangui Mountain Range. It was Miyun Prefecture of Youzhou province in the northeast of the land. Three cities in the north of Yangui Mountain Range were included into this land. 
Zhang Tie remembered that he had met the head and elders of Li Clan from Miyun Prefecture in White Tiger Platform when he fought for the provincial governor of Youzhou Province for Zhang Taixuan 3 years ago. The overall strength of Li Clan only ranked lower-middle among the so many major clans in Youzhou Province. Zhang Tie remembered that the entire Li Clan only had 4 black iron knights, plus the head and elders. It could not even match Zhang Clan of Huaiyuan Palace who had caught up from behind after winning the competition for the provincial governor of Youzhou Province, not to mention deep-rooted Lu Clan and Gu Clan in Youzhou Province.
It was the south border of Yangui Mountain Range in the southernmost part of this private land which neighbored Tongzhou Province. Zhang Tie found that 4 cities being close to Yangui Mountain were included into his private land.
It was the north border of Yangui Mountain Range in the northernmost part of this private land which neighbored Yangzhou Province, the hub of the Northeast Military Region of Taixia Country. Four cities of Yangzhou Province were included into Zhang Tie's private land.
Those cities in Zhang Tie's private land were not advanced in development level given the map; additionally, most of the private land was mountain areas and mountain forests. Therefore, this green block was almost the largest one among all the green clocks on the map. Only after a glimpse at it, Zhang Tie had known that this private land was about 0.8 million square miles because it was 1/3 larger than the area of Yanghe Prefecture of Zhang Clan.
Coincidentally, this triangular region was only thousands of miles away from the Zanggu Plateau that he had bought at a high price in Youzhou Province in the north.
There were over 100 green blocks on the map of Taixia Country. If Zhang Tie adored prosperity, he could have chosen some provinces and prefectures which were much better than the Youzhou territory in the Northeast Military Region of Taixia Country. If Zhang Tie was ambitious, he could choose his private land near the south border of Taixia Country, where he could revitalize the Great Wilderness Sect over billions of square miles' land and become the king in the south of Taixia Country as long as the conditions became mature.
When he caught sight of the block on the south border of Taixia Country, Zhang Tie's heart indeed raced; however, the domineering thought was instantly ignored. As the Great Wilderness Sect had been exterminated, Zhang Tie was not interested in raising this banner once again. He didn't even know the enemy of the Great Wilderness Sect yet. It was very risky for him to inherit the legacy of the Great Wilderness Sect on the south border of Taixia Country at this moment. Now that those people could annihilate the Great Wilderness Sect in its heyday, it was not difficult for them to crack down an earth knight. The Cloud Crane had made it clear in the will that it was very risky yet profitable to raise the banner of the Great Wilderness Sect. It was meaningless for Zhang Tie to establish his undertaking at this moment.
By contrast, if he selected the private land near Youzhou Province, he could protect his family members and occasionally meet them in another status. He could receive the message from his family members at any time. As for Zhang Tie, it was very hard for him to refuse this choice. With this choice, the arrest order for him almost became ineffective in Taixia Country; additionally, he could develop his own force in the status of Cui Li and continue to investigate the one who framed him secretly. One stone for two birds.
'I'm afraid that nobody could imagine that I would return to Youzhou Province in this way after being wanted for 2 years.'
When he thought that he might meet his family members soon, Zhang Tie became thrilled inside.
However, Zhang Tie also knew that it was not the right moment for him to return to Youzhou Province. It was not late at least after the battle in Tiewei Mountain. This battle was a rare opportunity for him to make military exploits.
"The land that you've chosen is in the southwest of Yangui Mountain Range. Neighboring three provinces of Northeast Military Region in Taixia Country, the private land contains 18.76 million people. Although its population is not large, the 10 cities have reached a scale in industrial and commercial industries. Additionally, the private land had over 70 resources such as iron ores, copper ores, coal mines, silver ores, lead-zinc ores, etc.. There were also a lot of rare resources in Yangui Mountain Range, most of which had not been explored yet. After you took over this land officially, Taixia party would only keep the taxation and judicial agencies in all the cities of your private land in order to maintain the orders inside your private land. You would have the right to manage all the other aspects in the 10 cities. You could appoint the administers of your private cities, issue private regulations in your private land on the premise of not being contradictory to Taixia Laws!"
The major general started to explain it to Zhang Tie with a solemn look after seeing the private land that Zhang Tie had selected, "Of course, you could also entrust your administrative right over your private cities to relevant authorities in the Northeast Military Region. The administrative fees will be deducted from the taxes in cities. There's one point that you should know that the ownership of private properties and resources will remain unchanged after you took them over as they are under the protection of "Taixia Laws". You have the ownership of the governmental real estates and assets and the corresponding jurisdiction and disposal right on them!"
"There are private properties in my private land?"
"Of course, as long as there were people, there would be private properties. The ownership of these private properties and resources are mainly fixed assets in the 10 cities, such as private real estates and shops of residents. The private properties and resources outside the 10 cities are mainly villages and arable lands as well as private mines. Generally, as the 10 cities were built by the country, the government still owns over 60% of land and real estates in each of the 10 cities. As for the land outside the cities, 99% of them belong to you; at least half of the ores belong to you. The relevant materials about ownership were carefully recorded in these cities and the Northeast Military Region, which will be transferred to you!"
"How?"
"After you deal with the formalities here, you can take your authorized documents and certificates to the authorities in the Northeast Military Region whenever you want.. After you tell them about your status, the Land Planning Department in Northeast Military Region would dispatch exclusive staff to deal with the corresponding formalities and documents for you! Later on, we will notice the relevant officials in the Northeast Military Region. From today on, until you came to deal with the formalities for your private land, the ownership of all the official lands and resources in your private land would be frozen."
'I've not imagined that Taixia could be so considerate.' Zhang Tie grinned after knowing the details, "Haha, let's do it then. This Cui Li will select this green block as my private land!"
"According to the rules about private land. Because your private land combines different administrative regions from three provinces, you should name your private land. From then on, it would be the official name of this private land in official documents!"
Zhang Tie burst out into laughter as he felt it was funny, "Is there any learning about naming a private land?"
"Private land being rewarded due to military exploits would be named as XX bounty territory regardless of its area. In Taixia, bounty territory represents honor, which indicates that it is not bought, but is rewarded due to military exploits!"
Touching his bald head for a short while, Zhang Tie uttered, "Just call it Fire Dragon Bounty Territory!"
"Are you sure?"
"Sure!" Zhang Tie determined his decision.
"Okay!"
...
Half an hour later, an official document and the corresponding certificates being marked with some red seals had been prepared for Zhang Tie.
The moment Zhang Tie took these documents, he had thrown them into Castle of Black Iron. Until he left the tower, his heart was still racing.
Only after a short while, when Zhang Tie reappeared in the lobby, all the knights over there watched him in a formidable way.
...
2 days later, a grim and vivid shadow demon specimen appeared in Black Armor Battlefortress.
On the same day, Zhang Tie left Black Armor Battlefortress and disappeared into the dense black mist of Tiewei Mountain...


After the Catastrophe, every rule in the world was rewritten.

Whatever I think, I'll write down here, so my not so private private diary

A private walked alone through a thick forest weary of his steps holding his gun up. He got lost after his unit was ambushed. "Texas" he whispered coming up on a body. There was no response. "Texas god dammit" he turned the body around, and he saw the dead body of a sergeant. "Shit...." The private said. He tore of the sergeants dog tag as he was taught, and continued to walk around whispering 'Texas'. After what seemed like hours he ran upon someone. "Texas" the private whispered cautiously. The man put his gun up. "Texas god dammit" The private said getting his gun ready. The man aimed the gun at the private. The private scrambled to get his gun aimed at the man. Just before the man fired there was a flash as quick as lightning, and the man fell dead. The private shook as he kept his gun aimed "T-te-texas" he managed to say. A man walked out from the tree line. He had a black uniform, with a suppressed M4 carbine rifle, and a sergeant patch. "Calm down kid" the sergeant said as he helped the private up. "All clear!" The sergeant yelled. Four men in similar uniforms, and similar weapons came out of the tree line. All of them looked the same except a man with a captains patch who had a skeleton mask. "Looks like we got a rookie" the sergeant said pointing to the private's patch. "What happened to your squad?" A lieutenant asked. "They're either dead or captured I think.....we got ambushed" the private said. "All right well what's your name then rookie?" The captain said. "Craig" the private said. "Ok" the captain said "I'm death" he pointed at the sergeant "Dead eye" he pointed at the lieutenant "Lucifer" he pointed at another sergeant "medic" and he pointed at a first class private "and dragon the youngest to join this unit". Craig looked at them "who are you people?". "We're the death squad" Dragon said. "Special forces, and until further notice you're one of us rookie" Death said looking at Craig "now we need to head to base camp before Luna loses it". "You're right" Deadeye said "besides it's getting dark". "Let's go" Death said re-entering the tree line as the rest followed.

The story, or tragedy, of a squad known only in legend. Told by an old soldier, but this story may have some truth to it.

Revo entered the truck inside to cover his left eye. And as he sits at the end he was then followed by the other member of the Alpha Team. After 30 minutes they were able to return to the base, and as they were hoping down from the back of the truck. Some of the marine soldiers were looking at them because of their battered state. 

And then one of the marine private shouted, "Hey guys!" the private shouted, and Servo 1 and 4 looked at the marine private and then the marine private said 

"Have you gone the dirt road! How was the feeling of reception is it fun!" the marine private and other privates thought that the Alpha Team were the new batch of candidate marines that were transported to the island for the reinforcement. 

But Servo 1 and 4 just smirked as they don't wanna reveal their identities. And then Revo hops down the truck and then he looked at the grinning and then another private shouted "Keep on guys don't lose focus you will be a marine soon!" and then all of them laugh and Revo looked at them and with a death door glance.


And all of the private get a bit pissed, and one of the private said "Hey! What with your glances you are a candidate!" and Revo then walked towards the private. Servo 1 and the other were looking at what Revo will do to the Marine Private that shouted at them.

Revo walked towards the private and look at its uniform and said "Don't worry you will see how hardened we are, keep your head down and always remember that we are brothers" and Revo turned around and all of the marine private was a bit scared to what have Revo said.

 And then one of the privates replied with "Don't worry you will still see us and we can do a firing range test if you could win" and all of the private once again laugh. 

And Revo continued to walk, and then the private was confused when the Lieutenant colonel walked out of the main building and approached the guy that approached one of the Marine privates. "Hey, why did the commanding officer approached a marine candidate?" 


one of the marine private that were standing. And when they saw the Lieutenant colonel they saluted snappily. And Revo once again looked at the marine privates and said "hey wanna bet?" Revo shouted and the Lieutenant colonel looked at Revo and whispered "Are you saying you will be challenging newbies to a firing range are you going to rob them with their allowance?" 


Revo smiled at the Lieutenant colonel and replied "Of course not but my team would" Revo turned around and all of them were standing as if they were looking haggard and were exhausted from the battle. And the Lieutenant colonel saluted back at the marine privates that were off duty and were having their time in the base. 


But then the lieutenant colonel looked at Revo and said "We are still going to talk some business regarding some situation on the field. And to what happened at the compound you know that we have lost contact with you. Because of some classified information, I need a full detailed report on my desk by tomorrow. I know all of you were tired so take a good bath and rest" 

And Revo nodded after that he saluted at the Lieutenant colonel and turns around and looked at the faces of the Alpha team. He then said with an authoritative voice "The Lieutenant colonel said we are going to have a rest for today  and tomorrow we will be leaving so by the night pack your gears and we are going back to mainland Mindanao as we are being summoned there because of our deeds" 


After that, all of them saluted at Revo and Revo saluted back after that Revo said "Dismissed" after that each one of them grabbed their bag and walked towards their barracks that is a bit at the left-wing of the main building it was a separated barracks for special reasons.


 After that Revo looked at the marine privates that were on the side and said "Are we still on the game?" after that the marine private said "Sure we are game on? But who are you going to fight we have our best pick here" the marine private said in a bragging tone of voice. 


After that Revo said "Well we will meet by tomorrow at 8 AM morning after that my team vs your team" After all of the marine private agreed to that proposal. And Revo goes to the shower room and take the bath for some refreshing water that was pouring onto him.


 And then a flashback came Revo then hears some bullets firing while he was inside the cubicle, the small cry of his brothers that happened that night. While he looks through his scope, the pain on his body still aches as he felt that he was being once again shot and scratch by the broken sharp sticks that he was crawling from.


After that he turns off the shower and heads towards the barracks, he saw that all of the Alpha team were lying on the bed resting from tat exhaust day. And some of them were snoring, and Revo walked towards his table and start writing the detailed report from the beginning until the middle scene. 


He finished the middle scene of the operation as it was time for the mess hall. After that, all of the Alpha team heads to the mess hall. 


And they saw the marine privates were eating at the other table while they were eating at the other side of the table. And the Amrine private saw the rank of Revo as a Technical Sergeant. 


And when the marine private saw Revo rank they were stunned and stopped eating. As they saw that earlier this morning those were the guys that look that comes out from reception. But now they saw their ranks and they were all sergeants. 


After that, all of them looked at the marine privates that were eating and Revo once again reminded the marine private that challenges them into a Firing range competition tomorrow.

 "Hey Private remember what you said earlier today. We are going to have a firing range competition?" And the Marine privates were stopped from eating as they felt that they will be crush by pure experience by the Sergeants.


And all of the Alpha Team laugh as Revo said that and all of the marine private's mouth were all shut. After that a Staff sergeant approached Revo and said "the Lieutenant Colonel has been asking for you" and Revo looked at the Staff Sergeant and then he looked at one of the patches it was an operation sergeant. 


And Revo replied with "Alright," after that reply he stood up and looked at the Alpha Team and said, "after this I want all of you to be cleaning the barracks, and then we are doing a PT at night."

 And all of the Alpha Team started eating back again. And the Marine privates from the other table were stunned once again. As if the sergeant on the other table were a bit special being called by a Staff Sergeant and by the Lieutenant colonel.



Revo knocked on the door 3 times after that he heard a voice from the inside "Come in" after that Revo twist the doorknob and opens the door. He salutes upon entering and the Lieutenant colonel saluted back after that Revo walked at the center of the Lieutenant Colonel and standing in attention. Facing straight ahead and not moving an inch.


 And the Lieutenant Colonel said "I am really sorry for making you go into the mission without careful verifying the intelligence we have in that compound. Luckily we did not lose any people on our side only a few wounded."


And Revo understood what have the Lieutenant Colonel was saying "Sir, I understand some missions were like that and I carefully understood your worriedness. Thank you" Revo replied at the Lieutenant Colonel. 

"Ah, yes you are being summoned back to the Mainland Mindanao there will be another mission waiting for you. Even if the previous mission was not a success nor a fail one. But still, it was a decisive decision that you have brought back your team as a whole" 

And Revo nodded as a Reply to what have the Lieutenant Colonel have remarked at the end. After that, the Lieutenant colonel said "you are dismissed but I still need the detailed report" After that Revo replied with "Yes, Sir the report will be given to you by morning tomorrow" 


After that Revo left the office and walked towards the main drill grounds of the base there was light. And there he saw the Alpha team in position in a straight line and they were not moving. As if they were waiting for someone, and that someone was Revo. 



Revo approached the Alpha Team and said "We are doing a hell exercise until 3 AM so start now" Revo shouted the hell exercise starts with push up and other exercises meant for reception rites type of training.
