Volume 1, Chapter 42: Steam's Novel Creation, The Scourge of Heavy Taxes!

[Ding]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully occupying Anyang City! Reward: 100,000 Points, Portable Steam Saw!]
[Anyang Civil Welfare Level: Hamlets Slightly Pacified!]
...
Qin Feng was dumbfounded!
Equipment dropped?
He had originally thought the system would only grant rewards after raising the civil welfare level to peace and prosperity.

As Grerivas finished speaking, Leticia hesitated. The other party was right; acting rashly could indeed very well cause damage to the Divine Child's body.

Zhao Danian and Wang Rui, together with all subordinate officials, respectfully escorted Zeng Guofan and the others out of the county office before plunging into busy work.

"So you are merely a weapon spirit?" As soon as the Sacred Dragon Sovereign uttered these words, he seemed to find it utterly incredible himself, staring in astonishment at the Azure Barrier Demon. It took him a full half-day to finally snap back to his senses.

"Yet aren't you afraid that I might cooperate with you first, launch a surprise attack on the He family once it's done, and seize power from the Ye family in the process?" Ye Tianyu asked indifferently.

With such thoughts in mind, Sayo quietly watched the sunlight pierce through her palm, her somewhat pale skin appearing crystalline and translucent like crystal under the illumination of the sun.

Having recovered after a few days of recuperation, Daniu was discussing with Yang Zaixing how to deal with the Jurchens besieging the mountain.

Without waiting for Zhao Fuxin to reply, she stepped forward and embraced him. The wind blew her long hair across Zhao Fuxin's face, carrying a wisp of faint fragrance. Feeling the warmth and softness in his arms, Zhao Fuxin wanted to reach out and hold her, but then he recalled Shen Binglian's sorrowful face. Where on earth was she?

Auntie Gui had no choice but to agree. She then watched Nie Wanluo cut celery and red peppers and prepare various ingredients. The unhurried manner made her look even more calm and composed than someone who stayed in the kitchen all the time; she herself sometimes grew flustered and forgetful, getting all hands and feet.

However, after tossing and turning for days, Song Xiuyuan had indeed sought out some eccentric individuals, but without exception, they were all frauds.

These words caused Song Ximing to narrow his eyes slightly and turn to look at Yan Youran. The calculation in the depths of his gaze increased a fraction. To Song Ximing, there were certain highly confidential histories of the Song family that even Gu Meng did not know, yet Yan Youran knew them inside and out. This forced Song Ximing to take Yan Youran seriously.

Having harbored grand illusions, Chen Shengda thanked his father-in-law and confidently returned home to pack his luggage.

The phone beside her lit up. Shen Xin unlocked it to find a message from Xiao Yue. After a moment of thought, she beckoned to the waiter behind her, motioning him to step closer, and then took a selfie with a "click" to send over.

After all, Lin Qian was her cousin from the same clan. If this matter were exposed, it would not only affect her uncle's family, but the entire Lin family would be implicated as well.

"Sister Qingya, what were you guys chatting about just now?" Lu Tingting grabbed Zhao Qingya's hand while her eyes stealthily peeked at Shen Yue.

Although we are now husband and wife, the gap in our psychological ages has always been vast, and the notion of siblings is deeply rooted; she inevitably holds a trace of elder-like reverence toward me.

Although diesel was a non-sale item not available to the external market, Ji Shiqing suggested that they could learn from fuel thieves. She had previously scrolled past numerous videos on TikTok showing people stealing fuel from heavy trucks for money.

Su Yun shook his head, feeling that it did not quite fit, because at the very least, his array formation was set up in a particularly standard manner without any corners cut.

"I won't see him." Jiang Lili pulled hard on the door handle, attempting to close it, but Sun Ting wedged half his body inside.

"I just heard her constantly receiving phone calls, sometimes in the middle of the night, and felt the content of the conversations was abnormal." Auntie Liu explained with difficulty. She hadn't told Gu Yanchi about the recording; after all, she was Zhao Man's person, so she naturally couldn't let Gu Yanchi discover this.
