American Comics: BOSS Invasion

As the twelfth lunar month approached, a major event unfolded in the imperial court.

The Grand Secretariat announced to the world the establishment of a special government office dedicated to handling arrests, called the Six Doors.

The Emperor personally issued an edict, elevating the status of the Six Doors to a special level, not only granting them the Sword of Imperial Authority, granting them the power to execute first and report later, but also bestowing upon them the Dragon, Tiger, and Dog Guillotines, allowing them to execute corrupt officials above and treacherous bandits below.

Reporting directly to the Emperor, without interference from the Grand Secretariat or the Six Ministries, this immense power caused an uproar throughout the court.

Memorials flooded the palace like snowflakes, and large numbers of people gathered at the residence of the senior Grand Secretary, arguing and protesting.

Under normal circumstances, such clamor and widespread discussion would certainly have had an effect, but this time, things took an unexpected turn; the Emperor and the Grand Secretariat suddenly joined forces, as stubborn as a turtle eating an iron weight, determined to establish this Six Doors.

No matter how much the people below argued or protested, it had no effect.

The massive Six Doors government office still began construction as scheduled, even requisitioning a prince's mansion, making slight modifications, and directly hanging up its sign for business.

For the next three months, the Six Doors remained inactive, and many people, openly and secretly, inquired about it, but no information could be obtained; they didn't even know who the leader of the Six Doors was. The Grand Secretaries of the Grand Secretariat remained tight-lipped, simply shaking their heads no matter how they were asked.

The Emperor, on the other hand, simply became inaccessible; if you wanted an audience, you had to get in line.

This situation finally made the ministers realize that the Six Doors was inevitable; since they couldn't defeat it, they would seize control of the office.

Thus, memorials requesting transfers to the Six Doors began to fly towards the inner palace like snowflakes once more.

Unfortunately, this time there was still no response.

Time passed, and the Six Doors remained silent, so everyone gradually shifted their attention elsewhere.

However, when they occasionally passed by the government office with the Six Doors plaque, they would still discuss and debate the strange decision made by the imperial court during the New Year.

Meanwhile, Qi Shan was not idle. Using the story lines of *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*, *The Return of the Condor Heroes*, and *The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber* as a backdrop, he slightly expanded upon them and created an online game, spreading it within the social network of the Little Universe internal space.

Players could only play two roles: constable and secret agent.

In reality, these were just story players and life players.

Life players could move freely and do what they liked, whether it was farming, doing business, studying, or taking exams, as long as they perfectly played their role and didn't do anything out of line, there weren't too many requirements.

Story players, on the other hand, played constables, with their own districts. Every day, in addition to the daily tasks of patrolling, they also had to catch thieves, receive information, report situations to their superiors, and monitor martial artists. Occasionally, there would be timed missions, where everyone would cooperate to hunt down difficult martial arts masters.

To ensure its entertainment value, Qi Shan had Alice fill it with a lot of plot, so overall it was still very attractive.

Once the game was released, it instantly attracted a large influx of attention, exceeding 10 million in an instant, and as time went on, the number continued to grow.

After six months of operation, both life players and story players had gradually leveled up.

Qi Shan selected the top 1% of players, created the characters controlled by these tens of thousands of people, and using biotechnology and nanotechnology, made slight modifications, gradually infiltrating these tens of thousands of people into the entire Great Song Dynasty over six months in a subtle way.

Thus, unknowingly, the Six Doors framework envisioned by Qi Shan was completely established.

During this period, Alice constantly learned to simulate the operation methods of players, stored a large language database, and separated more than 100,000 weak artificial intelligence units.

In the following two years, as the game's popularity faded, the number of players declined sharply, and Alice directly took over a large number of control terminals.

The number of story players plummeted to three digits, replaced by a steadily increasing number of life players.

With the assistance of artificial intelligence, except for key decisions, the characters could automatically follow their established lifestyles, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, occasionally talking to neighbors.

For the players, it was like enjoying another life.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the large number of secret agents sent out by Qi Shan also took root throughout the Great Song Dynasty.

Each region had a leader, respectively numbered with "Sage, God, Immortal, Spirit, Human, Ghost, Nether, Demon, Corpse," and called Chief Constable.

Under the headquarters were thirteen halls, each hall master with three thousand constables and tens of thousands of informants scattered throughout the country.

When this news spread, it immediately caused an uproar in the martial arts world, and everyone was skeptical, thinking they were listening to a fairy tale.

If there were really such numbers, then the number of constables throughout the world would exceed one million, which was almost impossible for the Great Song Dynasty.

However, in the following ten years, the power of the Six Doors expanded extremely rapidly. They might still turn a blind eye to the martial arts world, as long as they didn't commit crimes in the cities and didn't harass civilians.

The Six Doors was too lazy to care about the infighting among the heroes of the martial world.

They were more interested in the corruption and bribery in the imperial court.

The Six Doors' informants were all over the world, and their information was extremely well-informed. With the support of the Emperor and the Grand Secretariat, their power had been immense in recent decades. As long as a minister was taken away by the Six Doors, basically no one returned intact.

From the initial anger and resentment throughout the court to the final trepidation and walking on thin ice, the entire officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty was greatly rectified.

Unfortunately, the Six Doors was focused on internal affairs and not external affairs, and the weakness of the Great Song Dynasty against the Jin Dynasty had not changed much.

Fortunately, as long as there were no wars on the border, the people didn't care much.

In this way, a behemoth was cultivated in the subtle changes over the course of more than ten years.

When everything was ready and everything was on the right track, Qi Shan came to Zhangjiakou for the second time.

Looking at the dirty little beggar swaggering in from outside the city gate, Qi Shan's mouth slightly curved into a smile, found the restaurant where Guo Jing was staying, and went straight to the second floor.

Opening the window and ordering a table of wine and food, Qi Shan waited happily for the good show to begin.
