Chapter 479 Arctic Forest

"No money."

Li Yi looked at his account balance, only less than 2,000 yuan was left.

He broke down his main income. 99% of it was contributed by the old men in the chess and card room downstairs. It should be about 2,000 yuan a month. This is the result of his winning more and losing less. This shows that the old man enjoys consumption. low.

"Looks like I have to play mahjong again."

"Prostitution and gambling are all accounted for. As expected, I only gave him the wrong name, not the wrong nickname."

Bai Shi leaned over his head quietly, making no sound, like a ghost.

Ever since he learned various escape techniques, Shiraishi has been silent when moving, and he wishes he could use his invisibility when he goes out. In her words, practicing is to make yourself feel better, and the greatest enjoyment of society is to be invisible.

So Shiraishi often hid outside, and was once caught by Jin Dan on patrol. The use of magic is strictly prohibited in the urban area, so powerful people cannot control it, but they must control it during the foundation building period.

This is not only a matter of strength, but also a matter of quantity. No matter which era it is, monks at the level of Qi refining and foundation building will always make up the majority. Most of them mean that they need to be managed. If they are not managed well, they may lead to chaos.

Later, Qiong Yu came forward to solve the problem, and because of this, she came into the eyes of the senior officials of Haojing Company and gained certain privileges. The patrolling monks basically ignored her.

But after that time, Baishi never left the house again, even if Qiong Yu repeatedly comforted and informed him of his privileges, it was of no use.

'I'm not afraid, I just feel embarrassed to cause trouble to others...'

From this, Qiong Yu further understood the biological creature called social phobia in humans, which is the fear of causing trouble to others, the fear of other people's eyes, whether malicious or kind, and even communicating with others is scary.

Shiraishi has severe social anxiety. In her own words, "I am just a rat living in the basement." Before being brought here by Li Yi, he had been sending Qiong Yu quotes about social terror for a long time.

“Delivering food without a uniform is like a soldier going into battle without a gun. Woo hoo hoo. If I go to a cafe to get takeout and I dare not enter, it will time out. If a country bumpkin like me goes in, I will definitely be looked at with the eyes of "who is this?" ’

There are many comments like this.

Qiong Yu didn't pay much attention at first, only thinking that human survival was not easy.

Now Qiong Yu feels that Bai Shi belongs to the little dog he saw on the balcony in the evening. The owner was very arrogant when he followed, and once he let go of the rope, he suddenly became timid again.

Although it is inappropriate to describe a person as a puppy, it can be used to describe Shiraishi's condition best.

They will play tricks on themselves, and of course Senior Immortal. Although not to the point of being arrogant, he was still unscrupulous.

"Small gambling hurts money, big gambling hurts lives, can't you find some normal work?"

Shiraishi said: "Since you don't go to school, why not try to work in the government. I think the prime minister's salary is quite high, and with various subsidies, the annual income is over one million."

"Of course, if you go there, it will definitely not be as simple as becoming the prime minister. You might be able to unify China. How about your salary being increased by seven times?"

China's number one rebel is still obsessed with him.

Li Yi naturally goes in from one ear and out from the other. It is impossible for him to work in this life.

"Gambling is the nature of all living beings, whether they are humans or monsters, they always like to take risks for something uncertain and containing huge benefits. Did you know? Even in the age of the Immortal Palace, casinos still exist."

"Even I can't put an end to pornography, gambling and drugs."

When he mentioned the Asgardian Era, Shiraishi's eyes lit up slightly, and his attention was immediately diverted.

"You can't prevent it? Impossible, Xiao Zhuxue said, you wield the world like an arm. The authority of the Immortal Palace runs through the entire society like an Optimus Prime, from the center to the grassroots, and even every person people."

She waved her hands excitedly, as if she had taken Li Changsheng into her. Li Yi also hopes that she has this ability. Who would dislike having another person to do the work?

Qiong Yu was influenced by Li Yi and liked to study human history and knowledge the most. Shiraishi and it are one and the same, providing a theoretical basis for the flow of high-concentration knowledge to the low-concentration brain.

Management cost is a problem that needs to be solved in all dynasties, and it also indirectly affects the development direction of the entire power structure.

Without exception, until modern times no central power has been able to reach the real grassroots.

The sub-district office is the grassroots management in China, but the government’s command is like a fool dancing with a sword.

Most of these places are filled with old men, not even Qingshui Yamen. If you have no authority, no organization, and no money, how can you get people to do things like this?

But conversely, giving all employees the same treatment as civil servants will greatly increase financial pressure.

The lesser of the two, the contract salary is naturally more substantial and in line with the reality.

The Age of Immortal Palace will also face this situation, but Li Changsheng himself is worth 100,000 civil servants, and his work efficiency is worth 10 million.

There are no communication costs and wrangling, and the central efficiency of direct decision-making is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The above is Zhu Xue's description, Bai Shi has never seen it in detail.

The books on the prosperous times are full of cultural scenery.

Li Yi said casually: "Human nature does not change according to personal will. It may be improved, but it will never disappear. The drug of pornography and gambling is difficult to cure. Even if tens of millions of people are killed, someone will show up in the end."

It wasn't that he didn't care, he just didn't think about following.

As a person who has been cultivating for thousands of years, Li Changsheng knows very well that there are some things that are beyond human control. The only thing he can guarantee is that these things will not harm most people.

Baishi said: "Don't you think that you can reach millions of people with one thought? As long as the supervision is in place, there will be no problem."

"hehe."

Li Yi chuckled, looked at the somewhat naive Shenzhou rebels, and said, "Bai Shi, if you were allowed to sit in that position, you would be a tyrant."

"Me?" Baishi said unconvinced: "I am a staunch supporter of the people, how can I be a tyrant? Of course I am not capable enough to govern the world..."

"Those who think power can accomplish everything will basically end up being tyrants." Li Yi shook his head. In the spiritual world, due to the existence of the Immortal Sect, the lifespan of a dynasty is generally longer, but it is only about 500 years.

But before he let the Shangqing Palace govern the world, it was actually only 200 years.

Li Changsheng has met many monarchs, some who only heard about their deeds, some who have seen them with their own eyes, and some who have talked with them. There are not a few tyrants among them, and the common problem among them is the supremacy of power.

"Whenever you exercise power to manage others, you do so with a parental mentality, then you can be a qualified ruler."

Qiong Yu said, "This is also a common problem among keyboard warriors. Controlling everything is an abuse of power. A rule without strong control is called a reign of terror. If the whip doesn't hit you, you won't know the pain."

"..."

Bai Shi's face turned red when he was told that, and he muttered, "I just believe what Li Yicai said."

"So you just want Senior Immortal to work? Just sit back and enjoy the fruits of your life, and then sigh about the prosperous times."

"Ahem...how can you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air?!"

"Actually, it's not impossible to solve." Li Yi changed his voice, "I said there is no way to prevent it, but in the society I manage, pornography, gambling and drugs are basically unknown, and it is difficult for ordinary people to come into contact with it."

"The latter two are slightly less difficult. Basically, as long as you are more ruthless, you can solve them. Only the word yellow is associated with food and sex."

Bai Shi quickly asked: "What can I do?"

"Li is an idle worker and does not engage in loss-making business." Li Yi shook his head, then raised a finger and said, "A thousand yuan is a solution."

[Transfer 1,000 yuan from Shiraishi]

Li Yi nodded with satisfaction and said: "Lust is natural, and the union of yin and yang is natural. Therefore, it is difficult to eliminate Huang, but it can be replaced."

"There is a secret method that makes people fall into an almost real illusion, replacing the flower building that has flourished for countless years."

"VR porn?" Shiraishi was immediately disappointed. She thought it was some kind of magical policy.

Li Yi nodded: "It can be said that for safety reasons, this illusion is only allowed to achieve 70% reality. To prevent people from getting stuck in it and not knowing it is false."

Huan Shu Hualou can be said to be one of the greatest Taoist methods in the Immortal Palace in the second millennium. Its founder Shui Mengyuanjun even gained the reputation of "the most outstanding monk".

Putting an end to flower buildings is one thing, and more importantly, it is making outstanding contributions in population control.

Because illusion can satisfy all the beautiful fantasies a person has about his partner. If he is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, he will naturally not have much thought about ordinary people when he returns to reality.

During that period, inside trumped outside. It's not about how high the moral level is, but about the universality of the so-called beautiful skin.

"What if someone uses illusions to seduce people in reality?"

Shiraishi asked about the biggest controversy in genjutsu, which was also the direction in which the relevant laws were originally formulated.

"All illusions are strictly regulated. There are more than 10,000 images in them, but each one is fictitious." Li Yi replied: "As for illegal ones, this kind is outside the supervision. Those who have the ability to perform this kind of magic are strictly regulated." Monks with high-level illusions generally have no shortage of companions and do not bother to use them on ordinary people."

"For the strong, it is seeking death."

“Ultimately, there is no perfect solution.”

Li Yi paused, looked at Bai Shi and said: "The dream method you usually use is an advanced step above this. It belongs to the category of supernatural powers and is also a contraband among contraband. In modern terms, it is military supplies. "

"And the way you usually use it, if you let go to the immortal palace, you will be punished by death. I have a lot of it, please give me some atonement silver..."

Before Li Yi could say anything, Bai Shi's head clicked, and his snow-white skin quickly became rosy, making his whole body look like a cooked prawn.

"I, I, I... went to practice."

After saying that, he ran back to the room in a hurry.

Qiong Yu estimates that this guy won't show up for a long time.

Li Yi shook his head, never expecting that one day he would also be prostituted for nothing.

However, one thousand yuan is enough for me to spend half a month. After all, someone is responsible for my daily life, and Zhao Si will have to pay the rent at home for thirty years. The biggest expenses are going to bathing centers and being cheated by "family members" on short video platforms.

Every time I buy something that looks useful but actually ends up being piled up in the storage room.

Strictly speaking, he was not deceived, just created demand.

And Li Yi is usually too lazy to care. If he has to be careful about everything, living like that will be very tiring.

The meaning of life is squandering.

At least this is what Li Yi believes. He has never squandered anything in his previous life, and he must pay it back a hundredfold in this life.

With this thought, Li Yi jumped up from the sofa, put his cell phone in his mouth, and went out.

"Xiao Qiongyu, I'm going to wash my feet. I don't need to make dinner."

"Well done, Senior Immortal."

After watching Li Yi leave, Qiong Yu glanced at the empty living room and knew that there was no need to prepare dinner tonight.

The three ladies are not there all the time. They spend most of their time practicing. However, Baishi rarely goes out to eat without Mrs. Taiyin cooking.

The only celestial being who ate went to wash his feet, so the job was naturally gone.

Zhu Xue came out of Xiaotaolin, looked left and right, then sat down on Li Yi's seat, and pointed to the table.

"Xiao Qiongyu, pour tea."

Qiong Yu poured spirit tea from the yin and yang gas bottle, watched the half-sized girl in front of her pretend to drink it, and then imitated the immortal senior to lie flat.

This son sits on the seat of an immortal.

Zhu Xue has one obsession, and that is to help the immortals rule the world. It's not that they are greedy for power, but that Qingxuan and Taiyin can help immortals rule the world, and she must have one too.

Now it is in charge of the sofa and the TV remote control.

The fairy family is not big, and there are many disputes.

In the evening, when Li Yi returned home, Zhu Xue was already lying on the sofa and fell asleep.

He sat next to him and said as usual: "Xiao Qiongyu, pour tea."

While drinking tea and watching the video, it didn't take long for Qingxuan to send a message.

[Qingxuan]: Immortal, do you have any other discoveries about the nine-character mantra?

Regarding the nine-character mantra, this is beyond Qingxuan's ability, and almost no one in the world can help Li Yi investigate. This job naturally fell on him, and the method was naturally to learn it all over again.

To learn is to learn, not to copy everything.

In the previous life, what Li Changsheng really understood was only soldiers and a part of the array, from which the space glazed piece came from.

In fact, he also understands a little bit, but it is useless to him. Strengthening one's comprehension is really tasteless.

And if you can master the Nine Characters, you will definitely be able to solve whatever you encounter in the future.

The truth is this truth, but the way of heaven is gone, and learning is not as simple as it used to be.

"Let's give it a try."

Li Yi sighed, lay on the sofa and closed his eyes, while Qiong Yu stood on the table and looked up, trying to understand some magic tricks from it.

After a while, Qiong Yu fell asleep holding the bottle.

Because it takes too much energy.

When she woke up, it was already daytime.

Li Yi sat on the sofa, and at some point there was an extra glass in his hand.

"Zhazi, I guess I have to learn it for a few years, but there is no rush."

He put the glass water glass on the table, Qiong Yu approached curiously, poked his head into the mouth of the glass, and what he saw was the abyss.

——————————————

A month later, everything was calm.

Li Yi looked at the glasses in the cupboard, and then at the one in his hand, but he couldn't put it down anymore.

Qiong Yu gave a suggestion: "Senior Immortal, why don't you build an ecological tank and use it as a decoration in the living room, and I can plant some flowers and plants for you."

"Makes sense."

With a wave of Li Yi's hand, all the water glasses flew into the air and collided together, and the white aurora flashed in the air, like a singularity born in the universe.

In an instant, an oval water tank appeared.

"I'll dig some soil for you."

Qiong Yu flew out carrying a water tank dozens of times larger than herself, and didn't come back until night.

The next day, a mountain disappeared somewhere.

Another month.

The three of Tu'er finished their retreat and practiced. When they came to the living room, they saw an additional ecological tank, and a small person was busy inside.

Today is the weekend.

Li Yi said with a serious face: "Although the world is peaceful now, we need to plan ahead. This is the cave I prepared."

The three women believed it, and they were not just messing around, they were just dual cultivators.

Until the evening, Li Yi was still playing with his mobile phone.

Dong Yunshu grabbed Li Yi by the collar.

"Elbow, enter the house."

———————————

night.

Qingxuan sent a message to Li Yi, and the other party responded immediately as expected, instead of asking him to wait a few minutes for the game to end as usual.

"Xianchang, there is another change in the world. According to satellite observations, a forest has appeared in the Arctic Circle. I am afraid that a peerless medicine will be born."

"At present, the first investigation team sent by the government has brought back a large amount of elixir, but they are trapped in the periphery, and cannot enter the core area due to a special kind of confusion."

"Nowadays the powerful people from all sides are gathered together, I'm afraid there will be another big battle. So I hope that Sword Immortal Flying General will go back to sit in battle."

Li Yi replied without hesitation:

"Okay, okay."
