23rd of January.
The central government, together with the three ministries and four houses, issued a new order.
This order was only for the martial arts world. On the basis of the original three departments and four mansions, a new department was established, the fourth Department, the Kongtong Tian!
He didn't mention the purpose of this unit, but the new order was very clear that their main goal was to fight.
Taking the initiative to fight!
"Today, the three ministries and four prefectures were not set up to take the initiative to fight. The bigger purpose is to defend, to defend the catacombs 'passageway in Sino nation.
The newly established division was the main force.
……
"The heavenly division is recruiting talents and Warriors!"
"Requirements:
"First, high-ranked martial artists are the main force. Exceptions can be made to recruit some rank-6 martial artists who perform well.
"Second, young martial artists will be recruited first.
"Third, proficient in the catacombs language.
The fourth ..."
Tian's public recruitment standards were very high!
Rank-6 was the starting point, and not just any rank-6 could do it.
But the treatment was good!
"Basic salary:
"Rank-6:50 catties of rank-9 energy stones per year.
"Rank-7:500 catties of rank-9 energy stones per year.
"Rank-8:2000 catties of rank-9 energy stones per year.
"Rank-9:3000 catties of rank-9 energy stones per year.
Those without divine weapons will have priority in providing divine weapons of the same level and can be exchanged with contribution points.
Those who fight will be distributed based on their battle achievements and spoils ..."
……
When the treatment of Tian Department was announced, it caused a global sensation!
China had established their Fourth Department!
Setting up a new department was not a big deal, but the initial recruitment was at rank-6. If it were a few years ago, a rank-6 could have been a governor of a province!
Today, rank-6 was just the starting point. Other departments could not compare to such a standard.
That was not all. When he saw the treatment form ...
Everyone was in an uproar!
Rich and overbearing!
It was just a basic salary, but Tian had really offered a sky-high price!
Take rank-7 as an example. Although there were more energy stones than before, the price was still as high as 300 million per 500 grams. The annual salary of rank-7 martial artists alone was as high as 150 billion!
Not to mention rank-9, it was close to a trillion!
When this salary and benefits list was released, almost no one believed it.
However, when they saw the last person of contact on the Tian's recruitment list, everyone believed it.
"Interested parties, please contact mcmau's Vice-Chancellor Fang ping. Vice-Chancellor Fang ping will be the Deputy Minister of the sky Department ..."
"Fang ping!"
When they found out that Fang ping was the Deputy Minister of the Department of heaven, many people no longer had any doubts.
This guy was really rich!
After the battle in Magic City, the news spread that he had divided up five ore veins by himself, as high as 200000 catties of ore veins equivalent to rank-9 energy stones.
With Fang Ping's personal wealth, he could take in 100 rank-8 martial artists and support them for a year.
The key was that this guy had a way of making money. Every time he spent all his resources, he could quickly accumulate a large amount. With him around, the treatment of the Tian Department increased greatly.
……
"The Vice-Minister of the fourth Department!"
When they saw the news, many people were still extremely shocked.
The three ministries and four houses were the governing bodies of China.
The seven leaders were not only the leaders of China, but also the leaders of all mankind.
As for the newly established Fourth Division, the Head of the Department had not been revealed to the public yet. However, many people knew that Fang ping would become the deputy head. The Head of the Department was very likely to be an ultimate nightmare realm powerhouse.
An absolute beginning stage expert would rarely be in charge of matters.
In the military department, the East and North guardians 'residences were almost all in charge. Li Zhen didn't care much about the military department, but mainly li deyong.
This also meant that Fang ping was very likely to be the direct decision-maker of Tian.
21!
South Guardian's mansion.
Wu Chuan looked at the Restless crowd in the meeting room and said with a dark expression,"What do you mean by looking at me like that?"
On the left, a middle-aged expert laughed and said,""Defender, this ... The sky's offer is unusually high. A rank-8's annual salary is 2000 catties of rank-9 energy stones!"
" 2000 catties, not 2000 grams!" He emphasized.
A ton!
What a joke!
If it wasn't for the fact that this news was jointly released by the central government, the three ministries, and the four prefectures, he would have beaten the person who released the fake news to death!
"A rank-8 in your family can earn a ton of energy stones a year?
When he was at the southern house of guardians, his salary was not calculated in terms of energy stones. He was a rank-8 martial artist after all. Here at the southern house of guardians, if his annual salary was really converted into rank-9 energy stones, would he even have 100 catties of energy stones?
There should not be any!
Of course, everyone did not really care about this.
But now, there was a guy who offered 20 times the price. How could he not be tempted?
Wu Chuan's expression turned even darker!
'Fang ping, that bastard, what the hell is he doing? raising the price of goods, does this kid still want others to live?'
While he was still thinking, the middle-aged man beside him laughed and said,""Chief, we haven't had a salary increase in many years. We're not that kind of profiteering people, so ... Why don't you give us a little more pay according to the treatment of the heavenly Department?"
Seeing that Wu Chuan's gaze could eat people up, the middle-aged man coughed and said,"Ahem, well, we don't have high requirements, but at least it should be one-fifth of the Tian, right?"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man sighed and said,""Didn't the house of guardians make a fortune a few days ago? Guardian, isn't it a waste to keep this?"
The house of guardians in the South was still rich.
Fang ping had given them quite a bit before, and in the end, he had gotten a lot more during the Magic City War.
In the end, Wu Chuan's stingy search did not mention anything about a salary increase at all.
"A fifth?"
Wu Chuan glared at him and said in an annoyed tone, "He's destroying the market! One-fifth? 400 pounds a year? "You guys have set your sights higher now. Energy stones weigh a few hundred catties!
Besides, how long do you think he can pay for it?
Just wait and see, with his blind bidding, he's not the material for long-term management. Tian ... I think he'll go bankrupt sooner or later. "
The price was outrageously high!
I don't know what old Zhang and the others were thinking, but they actually passed it. Aren't we in trouble now?
Look, here comes the troublemaker!
As he spoke, Wu Chuan regained his composure and said, "Don't think about this. This kid's offer is so high. He's not recruiting, he's really recruiting a Suicide Squad."
Fang Ping's offer was so high, but it was not because he had no place to spend his money.
Wu Chuan's voice was slightly solemn as he said,"some of you guys are probably a little tempted, but I still have to remind you that Tian is actually recruiting a group of real killing talents this time!"
Do you know what Tian is doing?
They would take the initiative to conquer the world!
It was not just the catacombs. Even places like the precinct would take the initiative to enter the restricted area and participate in the battle!
"Everyone, I won't stop you from seeking your future. The three ministries and four residences are actually the same everywhere. Everyone is contributing to the country.
However, Tian was definitely much more dangerous than the house of guardians in the South!
"Our current mission is to defend the outer region. Although the city Lords in the outer region are all rank-9s and have quite a number of people, not many of them take the initiative to fight. Our pressure is still much lighter than the others.
But what about Tian?
"Taking the initiative to go out to battle, conquering all corners of the world. It can be said that once you join the sky division, battles between high ranks, rank-9 battles like magic city's are definitely not rare!"
As soon as he said this, many people's faces turned serious.
Actually, the sky had offered such a price. Everyone was a high-ranked martial artist, and they did not really think that Fang ping was stupid. Even if Fang ping was stupid, the leaders of the other departments were not stupid.
It was obvious that joining Tian was more dangerous than other places.
Now that they heard that some of the dangerous places in the past were actually the targets of the sky, everyone was shocked.
The Forbidden Zone, the world ...
In the past, these places were only known to those at the absolute peak. Although everyone knew about them later on, there might not be many people who went there. Those who were not at the absolute peak generally did not dare to go there to court death.
The middle-aged man who spoke earlier thought for a moment and said,""Defense? does this mean that the government's policy has changed again? they're no longer defending and are taking the initiative to counterattack?"
Wu Chuan shook his head and said,"no, it's mainly defense! "Counterattacks. Actually, all of you should have felt it. The counterattacks these few years were mostly from Fang ping and the others.
I know what department head Zhang and the others are thinking.
Instead of letting these guys start fires everywhere, it's better to gather them together and send a group of thorns to the sky. "
Then, he thought for a moment and added,"actually, there are also benefits to the sky. There will definitely be a lot of battles in the future. If everyone still wants to take a gamble in martial arts, I think we can take a gamble!"
"For the next two years, the four great houses of guardians will focus on defense!" Wu Chuan said with a serious expression. "The military department, on the other hand, focuses on middle and low-ranked Wars. In order to train new people, they'll launch some middle and low-ranked Wars.
"However, the military department would not initiate a war between high-ranks on their own accord. It's not good for the growth of the newcomers.
"Only the sky will be the center of high ranks for the next two years."
As soon as he said that, the eyes of some people in the meeting room changed. They were obviously still tempted.
Wu Chuan's words were very clear. The three ministries and four houses had their own missions.
"The house of guardians will defend the catacombs, the military department will lead the middle and low-Ranked Battles, and the heavenly Department will act as the point of attack to launch the high-Ranked Battles.
If he wanted to improve and improve, going to Tian was the most suitable!
The middle-aged martial artist who spoke earlier chuckled.""Chief, if we leave, what will happen to the catacombs in the South?"
Wu Chuan rapped the table. He thought for a moment before saying, "It's not a problem to leave some of the high-ranks now. Once Tian starts a war, I think there will be fewer Wars in the outer region.
"Nowadays, the outer region is actually also in hiding, especially in the previous battle where more than a hundred rank-9s were killed. In fact, many of them were conscripted from the outer region of the southern catacombs.
We're all in a state of equilibrium now. Besides, even if you go to Tian, it doesn't mean that you won't participate in other Wars. "
Wu Chuan laughed,"it's good that he's there. He's going to eat from the rich!" "That kid has 100 tons of rank-9 energy stones now. With his personality, he spends money like water. If we don't go, others will take advantage of us.
However, as I said before, it's very dangerous. Think about it carefully. "
As he said that, Wu Chuan thought for a moment and added,"Let me remind everyone!"
"If you really go to the heavenly Department ... You'd be taking advantage of your seniority. In terms of qualifications ... Then you'd better not go! That brat's temper isn't that good. He's only recruiting young people because he's afraid that a bunch of old people won't listen to him. That'll be troublesome. "
Wu Chuan said in a deep voice,"obeying orders is the most important thing for all departments!" Even if he was wrong, he was right before he caused any actual losses!
Unless the central government and the three ministries and four constabularies opposed it, it had to be carried out!
I'm worried that even if you go, you won't be able to change. At that time, there will be estrangement. "
As soon as he said this, everyone nodded slightly. Someone smiled and said,""That's true. I always felt that he's still a little wimp who only knows how to mess around. If we go, he'll be the Deputy Minister and we'll be the soldiers. To be honest, the change is a little abrupt. "
"You still have to change!"
Wu Chuan shook his head and said,"don't be a wimp!" That kid ... Cough, cough, I'll have to call him Minister Fang from now on! He was only lacking in age, but his battle prowess, achievements, and prestige were all not bad.
"After the battle in Magic City, we annihilated all the high-ranked powerhouses in the entire Magic City catacombs, killed more than a hundred rank-9s, and even killed a few true Kings ...
Although it's not all his credit, he was the one who led this battle. This is the first time in a hundred years that we've had such a great victory. "
Wu Chuan sighed a little. He then smiled and shook his head."In short, if you want to go, then think about it clearly. Don't drag it out. Make up your mind when you need to. Go to Shanghai and report."
Some people were tempted, but some were not prepared to go.
Soon, the meeting at the house of guardians in the South ended.
……
On this day, not only the house of guardians in the South, but also some powerhouses from other tribes were tempted.
Some of the idle grandmasters who had not joined the government before were also tempted.
Treatment was only one aspect. When one reached the high ranks, energy stones were only used to satisfy everyone's cultivation needs.
What everyone was more concerned about was the series of high-Ranked Battles that the sky division would be leading next!
In the three ministries and four prefectures, one had to exercise restraint.
"Sometimes, even if the catacombs provoke us, we can't just start a fight as we please. However, if we go to the Tian Department, the situation might be reversed.
……
Just as everyone was discussing the fact that some experts had already rushed to Shanghai.
Donglin.
In a small mountain village.
The mountains and rivers were beautiful, and smoke rose from the kitchen. It was a rare sight for Fang ping to enjoy.
Standing by the ridge of the stepped fields and looking at the white-haired old man working in the fields, Fang ping laughed."Senior brother Tian, you really took off your armor and returned to the fields?"
"I'm old, I can't fight anymore. "
Tian Mu replied gloomily and continued to work.
Fang ping sighed,"a long time ago, someone told me that martial artists should not die of old age in bed!" Which rank-9 died on a hospital bed? Which rank-9 had died on earth? Did I? No!
Now, you want to die of old age on earth ... Senior brother Tian, is this what a boxing champion is like?"
Tian Mu raised his head and glanced at him. There was an indescribable sadness in his eyes as he said indifferently,"No need to provoke me! "I do want to die in the catacombs ... But I can 't, and I don't want to! I'm China's rank-9, the boxing champion, and the Deputy commander of the military department!
"I can be killed by a rank-9, but I can't be killed by those weaklings!
I'm not afraid of death, but I'm not willing to use my death to help those bastards!"
He was one of the most powerful men in China!
He could die, but he couldn't die at the hands of those weak people. That would only fuel their arrogance.
A middle-ranked martial artist had killed China's boxing champion. What a great battle record!
However, he did not have the ability to fight against high ranks now!
His golden body was destroyed, his mentality was half-destroyed, and his source space was severely damaged. Although he still had many years of battle experience, he could fight against a middle-rank.
"However, at this moment, he's not willing to enter the catacombs to fight anymore, unless he's really needed.
Otherwise, with his death, he would have helped the middle-ranks of the catacombs. He would not have wanted to see this happen.
"Senior brother Tian, you've been fighting for your entire life. Are you really willing to give up now?"
"Since I've brought you the cat fruit, it means that it's not a good thing for me!"
"You don't trust me?"
Fang ping sighed,"do you think I'd lack this?" "When I get the same treasure once, I will have the chance to get it a second time, a third time! In the past, energy stones were valuable, right?
But now?
It's nothing now. I'm too lazy to pick it up even if it's on the ground.
"And now, Sino nation is going to establish the Department of heaven, and I'm going to be the executive Vice Minister. I'm going to officially lead high-ranked martial artists to conquer the world, but I'm still young!
I still don't have enough credibility. Without a few powerhouses holding the line and a few old people watching, can everyone believe me?
You're counting on old Li?"
Fang ping sighed."That won't do. He doesn't have enough experience. He doesn't care about these things at all. If we count on him...Then we'll just wait for the heavenly Department to fall! I've thought about it, and I think senior brother Tian is the most suitable!"
"The cat fruit is nothing. Besides, I'll also give you King song's path of origin for you to study! Once senior Tian reaches reciprocity, I believe he'll be a true peak expert!"
"Don't say that the true king's great Dao is precious and worthless!"
"Those who truly have a chance of reaching the peak are not worthy of their attention, and those who don't have any hope of reaching the peak will be wasted. As for senior brother Tian, he's injured quite badly now. If you use it, you might be able to become stronger! "Should I die in the catacombs, or should I wait for the humans to win and participate in it, or should I wait for death here, senior brother Tian? think about it."
Fang ping looked around and shook his head."It's a good place. The mountains and rivers are beautiful. It's not a bad place to be your grave. But if you really die of old age here, in the future, I'll carve a tablet for you to bury the deserter Tian Mu!"
"Don't you dare!"
Tian MU's hair stood on end in anger. 'Damn you, you're the deserter!'
Fang ping chuckled,"why wouldn't I?" You don't have any descendants. If you die, the government will make the arrangements. As for me, I'll be the Deputy Minister of the heavenly Department, so I'll represent the government!
"Moreover, you're from mcmau, so I have the final say. I'll carve whatever I say for you.
I've already said that the cat fruit is not a good thing, and neither is King song's Dao.
I can restore you, but you're not willing. If this isn't cowardice, what is it?
You're afraid!
He didn't dare to fight anymore!
After fighting for so many years, you're tired, tired, and no longer have the heart to fight like you did in the past!"
"Don't think that I'm trying to provoke you ..."Fang ping said emotionally.
Tian MU's eyes widened!
Fang ping chuckled and said,"alright, I'll stimulate you!" "However, what I said is also true. Do you want to recover? if you don't recover, you'll be a deserter, Tian Mu. I'll go to mcmau later and remove you from the list. Mcmau can't afford to lose this face!
"Look at the old Vice-Chancellor, that's what you call a big winner in life. Even in the end, he still brought a rank-8 with him. Compared to the old Vice-Chancellor, you're ... Much worse."
Tian Mu was so angry that his face turned purple. He snorted,"You brat, you're so arrogant now that you've achieved success!"
"You have the right not to use it, and it's invalid once it expires."
"……"
Tian Mu glared at him for a moment before he snorted."Give me the thing!"
Fang ping smiled. A cat fruit and a crystal door appeared in his hands. After some thought, he took out a piece of paper and said,"Slave contract, 100 years! Now that you've recovered, you'll have to sell yourself to Tian and can't return to the military!
If you go to the heavenly Department, you'll still be a Deputy. "
Tian Mu cursed in a low voice and took the item. He looked at the "slave contract" and gritted his teeth," 100 years of my life is only worth this much?"
"It's not bad!"
Fang ping sighed."Don't forget that you're a cripple now. A cripple who has sold himself for 100 years. There's no one else but me who can offer this price."
"F * ck, I knew you weren't a good person! Now, they've really made a move on me!"
Tian Mu picked up a pen and signed his name. He walked out of the field and asked,""How many people has your bullshit Department of heaven recruited? How many rank-9s are there?"
"At present ... You're the only one!"
Fang ping chuckled and said,"I've only just posted the recruitment advertisement ..."
"Recruitment advertisement ... I feel like you've pulled me down a level. Can't you put it in a different way?"
"It's the same,"
Fang ping laughed as he walked,"Rank-9, no rush! Don't I also have the combat strength of a rank-9? I've also brought old Li into the heavenly Department, and that's three.
"Also, I'll see if there are any rank-9s applying for the job this time. I'll just recruit a few people. That should be enough.
"After a few big battles, our rank-9 will also rise."
Tian Mu did not say anything. He walked along the mountain path toward his residence. Soon, a bamboo house appeared in front of him.
Barefooted, Tian Mu entered the house and took out a Luggage Bag."Alright, let's go!"
Tian Mu was as straightforward as ever. Since he had accepted the cat fruit, this place ... He would return when the world was peaceful or when he died.
There was no reluctance. Peace, quietness, and happiness were all earned through fighting!
If you don't fight and I don't fight, how can there be such a paradise!
In the mountains, some children were playing. When they saw Tian Mu carrying his bag and walking away, one of them suddenly shouted,""Grandpa Tian, my father said that when I grow up, I'll join the army and beat up bad people with you!"
"You've grown up. There's no war anymore!"Tian Mu replied without even turning his head.
By then, there would be no more war!
This time, he would not return if he did not win!
"If not, I'll just let him die in the catacombs.
Tian Mu and Fang ping left together. On the mountain, some ordinary people walked out one after another. Old general Tian left as well.
Back then, he had also left this mountain village.
It had been many years!
All these years, Tian Mu had almost never returned. A few days ago, he had suddenly returned, all alone.
Some of the old people's eyes were filled with tears as they sighed.
They knew who Tian Mu was!
The Pride of the Mountains!
He was a general, a legendary Grandmaster.
The other party had suddenly returned. If it was in the past, no one would have known anything. Now, many people knew that the great general had gone to battle in the catacombs and returned with serious injuries. He had returned to wait for death.
The fallen leaves returned to their roots. He would not return until this day.
Now, he was gone again.
The great general who had lost all his energy a few days ago was now walking like a dragon and a Tiger. Would he ever return?
"See you off, old general!"
A young man shouted loudly,""I also want to join the army and kill the enemy!"
Tian Mu laughed out loud but did not reply. In the blink of an eye, Fang ping and Tian Mu rose into the air and disappeared into the mountains.
On this day, there were young men and women on the mountain who bid farewell to the old man and left the mountain to join the army.
"When the catacombs invades, all powerhouses meet their deaths!
The old general had returned with serious injuries, and now he had come out of the mountain to fight again. All the young men in China dared to fight him!
