Chapter 1334: 991: Documenting Work

[The 100 true skills are being analyzed, please wait][Initial array analysis completed, cracking in progress, please wait]

[Array cracking complete, please select —— Enter, Destroy, Restore to original state, Set up... ]

The entire process took less than two minutes, and Jiang Yuan was able to click to enter the newly sealed space.

"So this is what the mystical water pool looks like!" As he stepped into the last piece of holy land of the Leisure Sect, he couldn’t help but exclaim.

It was different from what he imagined; the mystical water pool was filled with a dense fantasy aura—Jiang Yuan stood on a rocky beach after entering, not far ahead was a pool of water displaying varying shades of color.

Above the water surface, at intervals, floated a Tribulation Crossing Array, stretching like lotus leaves into the distance.

Now, it belongs to me too!

As the system prompt popped up, he happily exited the small space. In the next second, he was transported back to Conch Island and entered a new dungeon.

The Ugly Slave was still leisurely drinking water, pondering over how many more times he must explain this to make the other party learn how to crack the array.

What if he can’t learn it?

The plan to earn a minor official position through skills sacrifice would be in vain, wouldn’t it?

It was filled with anxiety, yet that Elder Scholar was uncompromising. Teaching skills was one thing, but until the young human race cultivator confirmed its usefulness, he wouldn’t gain any extra benefits!

"Alas! I hope he learns soon and puts it to use, otherwise my days will be hard..." The Ugly Slave swallowed the last sweet sip of water and again felt regret staring at his empty hands.

How did I end up drinking both extra portions of water in one go!

"It’s bizarre, truly beyond common understanding, how did the Creator God come up with this thing?" It sat on the ground, frowning and murmuring.

Since becoming something that cultivators feared, the Ugly Slave experienced hunger and thirst for the first time——truly hungry! Truly thirsty!

The feeling of insatiable hunger and thirst clung to him, even if just fed, the comfort of fullness quickly dissipated as the food in the stomach disappeared at an incredible speed.

Without enough food and water next, he would have to endure continuous torment from his stomach.

Yet this torment was not lethal!

Of course, none of the current torments could kill this strange body; no matter how painful, it could still be lively!

For the first time, it felt deep fear towards immortality. However, it was already too late unless it was fortunate enough to meet a high-level cultivator proficient in the Purification Technique, otherwise, there was truly no chance for relief.

The constant and unadaptable hunger and thirst torture drove the mind irrational, all efforts solely for more food and water, living more comfortably.

"Jiang, how do you feel?" The Elder Scholar saw him return soon and hurried over to greet with a smiling face: "Do you need me to call the Ugly Slave over to continue explaining the array breaking technique?"

Jiang Yuan waved his hand with a smile: "No need, I came this time to tell you, the skills taught by the Ugly Slave are very useful. Previously, I promised that if effective, I would record a great merit for it, what does the Elder Scholar think is the suitable way to fulfill this?"

After all, since it was given full management rights, the rewards and honors naturally required the Elder Scholar’s input.

As expected, feeling the respect from Jiang Yuan, the Elder Scholar, reassured with a Calming Pill, was gratified, quickly straightening up to inquire: "Give him the position of Commander, he can oversee fifty people, only responsible for inspecting subordinates, no need to work, and receive four meals a day, how does that sound?"

Actually, Jiang Yuan did not focus much on the official positions and salaries set by it, or its internal operations.

So he curiously asked: "Commander is a minor position, right? How to receive more meals?"

"Naturally, they must continue working, earning merits to exchange for it." The Elder Scholar patiently explained: "Currently, the strange army is less than a thousand strong, thanks to the young friend’s help, I stand at the top.

Below is the Commander Qi Baijun; then the Commanding General, and Commander, the rest are soldiers.

Besides having some basic benefits, soldiers must use merits to obtain any supplies; of course, regardless of being a big or small official, to receive additional supplies or rest time, they must use merits for exchange.

Merits are obtained through daily labor, battling monsters, providing intelligence, submitting spoils, etc., evaluated based on contributions.

The Commander is responsible for tallying subordinates’ merits; the Commanding General tallies the Commander’s merits; and the Commander oversees the Commanding General’s merits with random inspections.

If anyone dares to oppress or show favoritism towards subordinates, once found, the position is stripped, with further punishment decided based on the actual situation. I will also supervise inquiries to ensure fairness and justice at all times!"

"Very reasonable, the Elder Scholar is indeed very talented." Jiang Yuan praised with a nod in response: "Then let’s give the Ugly Slave a Commander’s position, and if it can perform another skill-based merit, the Elder Scholar may consider further rewards."

"Certainly!" The Elder Scholar cheerfully agreed, thinking, luckily, to have Qi Baijun, this clever talent.

Not surprisingly, having served as Protector of the Leisure Sect, with power in hand, he easily makes great contributions!

Hope he continues to shine and lead the strange army well, allowing me to stand proud in front of Jiang Yuan.

"Spread the word, today the Ugly Slave performed greatly by imparting array master skills, thus promoted to Commander!"

The Elder Scholar nodded and saw Jiang Yuan off with a bow, then turned upright, stroking his beard, and loudly declared: "Urge all strangeness to learn from the Ugly Slave.

No point in foolishly clinging onto intelligence or skills, they hold no significance for strangeness! As the saying goes: recognizing the times makes a wise man, it’s best to exchange earlier for tangible benefits.
