Truth Department Headquarters in China.

Ren Ruofeng was looking at a report.

"The Rise of the Seafolk - A Talk on the Octopuses' Unity Progress."

"Hehe, looks like that childish octopus is maturing very quickly. A demon and a cultivator. When these two identities are combined, its growth becomes more rapid than ordinary people." Ren Ruofeng nodded and said.

Subsequently, he made a phone call.

Not long after, a seemingly simple and good-natured middle-aged man walked over. He looked weather-beaten, and was quite dejected as if he had long suffered a heavy blow.

"Oh, Xie Dong, are you still busy now?" Ren Ruofeng asked caringly.

"Uh, what, what do you think?" Xie Dong replied with a bitter face.

Ren Ruofeng no longer showed a nice look, he sneered. "I think you must be quite idle to be able to make this joke. I have a task for you, you're the leader of the Public Relations team now, it happens to be your duty."

"I've been doing quite a lot of foreign duties as well…" Xie Dong mumbled softly.

"Louder, I can't hear you!" Ren Ruofeng yelled fiercely.

"I promise to complete my task!" Xie Dong quivered then stood up straight.

"This is more like it. That octopus disciple you used to educate has already grown into a king in less than a year's time, it's a perfect opportunity for us to unfold in-depth cooperation." Ren Ruofeng told him plainly.

"How are we going to cooperate?"

"I'd like to first hear your opinion?" Ren Ruofeng was testing him.

Xie Dong was startled. After racking his brain for a long while, he responded, "I think we can let them develop marine tourism, which is environmentally friendly. On top of that, the octopuses can pull board, I believe quite a number of curious individuals will sit on them…"

"Sounds like you're very experienced in this, this is a talk from experience…" Ren Ruofeng spoke with intention.

"Uh, advisor, you're flattering me, I only gave some tentative suggestions." Xie Dong acted dumb, there was no way he would mention about him traveling around the world on a dolphin in the past.

That was indeed a wonderful experience, which was just like modern people when they traveled, where they spent lavishly on ancient carriages for tours.

However, there were too many people who rode on horses, whereas there were very few who rode on fishes. The size of this market was unimaginable.

"Tourism is only a part of the entertainment industry, it's environmentally friendly but it doesn't produce wealth effectively. My suggestion is to make them bear responsibility for the ocean's safety." Ren Ruofeng could not be bothered to go round in circles anymore. After he beat around the bush, he stated his true intentions.

"Advisor, you're very wise. For the recent two years, there has been an inflation of items imported by sea. I've seen some news that reported the issue of sea transportation being impractical, causing companies to hoard their stock... Some locations were unable to sell any, while some were unable to import items. Just like corn and wheat from America, as long as they're transported to the ocean, it'll be like a sheep entering a wolf pack, what's gone won't come back…" Xie Dong commented respectfully.


"Hehe, you're quite knowledgeable, you didn't waste your university days." Ren Ruofeng nodded and continued, "That's right, many ocean demons are very fond of humans' food exports. To them, when the food supply ship goes to sea, it's just like humans tossing food into an aquarium, it's natural for it to disintegrate into a messy scramble."

"I understand, I'll go look for Brother Twelve Arms to discuss this now?" Xie Dong probed.

Ren Ruofeng nodded, then threw a proposal to him which had he had prepared for a long time.

"Take a good look at this proposal. Strive to make them protect the sea routes in China and America, suppress those unlawful ocean demons, and fight to restore the main fairway to the way it was before the Era of Vitality, in three months to half a year's time." Ren Ruofeng instructed.

'This is really a heavy task, damn you, I'll have to work overtime every day…'

Xie Dong held on to that thick proposal book, and instantly looked like he was drowning in sorrow.

"What are you sulking about? When this is done, and the prices of items decline, won't your family benefit from this as well? This is a huge matter that will benefit the country, the people, and yourself, it won't be possible for a person who's not a saint. The moment you accomplish this, you'll be given all the credit. Regarding Elder Ancestor Bai's matter, I'm sure you've heard vaguely that without meritorious services, ten of them were already exterminated by the Venerable One. Now, it's only a suppression, it's already very fortunate." At last, Ren Ruofeng exhorted.

"Uh, yes, yes. Advisor, you truly have great foresight, while I'm very short-sighted, I can't compare, I can't compare." Xie Dong was aggrieved.

"Quickly get on with it, I'd like to see your progress report three days later." With a bossy posture that said "I only look at the ends results, not the means", Ren Ruofeng ordered him.

Xie Dong carried the proposal book then left angrily.

As a matter of course, this proposal was highly feasible.

That being said, it would definitely be a tricky one, and it would be exceptionally exhausting.

How far apart were the sea routes of China and America? Previously, he had followed Twelve Arms to travel on the ocean so he had a rough idea of it. Even if it was not two thousand miles apart, it was at least eighteen thousand miles apart…

With such a long sea route, and the precarious situation underneath the surface, he wondered how many big demons were hiding down there.

In the ocean, the size of strange creatures was far bigger than those on land.

Before the Era of Vitality, when the biggest sea animal and the biggest animal on land were compared, the latter could only admit defeat.

How could an elephant compare with a blue whale?

As for now, when the Era of Vitality begun, there were countless big primitive demons hiding in the ocean, which were way more horrifying than the ones on land.

Under these circumstances, one could imagine how tough it would be to maintain the traffic safety on the ocean…

'Oh, it might not necessarily be that case…'

"Hehe, I have an idea." Xie Dong took the proposal and ran speedily back to his office.

He browsed through the book hastily, which was so detailed that it gave him goosebumps. It seemed like Advisor Ren did put in a lot of effort in as it seemed no stone was unturned.

From the specific harbors to be guarded to the arrangements of patrol points, the guard measures, and the defense mechanisms. Everything was stated very clearly.

The only thing was that when compared with that Venerable Dragon God, all of this did not seem like much.

Very quickly, he dialed through a number.

"Hello, is this Butler Zheng? It's me, Xie Dong.

"Yes, I'd like to meet with the Harmony Powers to discuss the issue of the ocean's security defense.

"Alright, alright, don't worry about the funds. Sea transportation is currently paralyzed, many ship owners are terribly battered, I"m sure they'll be happy to render their services.

"Yes, yes, we'll directly allocate funds for the transportation's special maintenance fee."

After the phone call, Xie Dong leaned against the couch. He was feeling proud.

'As expected, after I took up this leading position, my vision has become different.

'Back then, I only thought about how I should do things. Now, I'll think about who I should look for to carry out tasks for me…

'Unfortunately, my budget is quite high. Whatever, I'm not the one paying for this anyway. Besides, I believe many people will be happy to fork out their money.'



In the System Space.

"We have work to do!" When Fang Ning was cultivating, Sir System roared, which nearly caused him to go into deviatory psychosis… That was impossible.

"What are you doing? Instead of cultivating, you're here to disturb my sleep." Fang Ning shouted.

That was right, the reason it was unlikely for him to go into deviatory psychosis was that he fell asleep when he was cultivating… It would be odd if he were to deviate.

"What are you cultivating, you were clearly snoring just now." Sir was straightforward.

"Forget it, what job were you talking about, tell me about it?" Fang Ning felt rather guilty, he quickly skipped the topic.

"Old Ren and the others are thinking of opening a safe passage across the ocean, they're hoping that we'll participate in it."

"This is good news, a wise man once said, it's not my aspiration to be conferred a noble rank, I only wish for an unruffled sea, we should participate in this. Speaking of which, the inflation rate has been too high for the past year, if it weren't for the emergency subsidies, I believe many people would've lived in poverty." Fang Ning sighed deeply.

"However, there's a problem. I can't see any undersea creatures, or else, would I have let those water creatures behave brutally until now? Look at the traffic on land, it has already regained its safety status after my patrols, and it's even better than the previous years. If it wasn't for that, the prices would've inflated ten times more." Flustered, Sir System added.

"Oh, it's this problem. It's okay you can't spot them, you can attract them to the ocean's surface. You're Sun Wukong, let the others be Zhu Bajie." Fang Ning immediately came up with an idea.

"I was thinking the same. Mr. Rich Boss, great minds really think alike." Sir was not being humble at all.

"Hmph, since you know what to do, stop interrupting my cultivation. Just now, I was cultivating in my dream, you disturbed me again." Fang Ning tried to fool it, then closed his eyes and meditated.

Not long after, a rhythmic snore was heard.
