I'm a villain, not a devil

After quietly observing the situation outside the city for a while, Qiong Ying recorded a few things in the notebook.

Paradise City is developing rapidly according to Sean's ideas.

After experiencing a huge disaster in which half of the city's residents died, this city-state did not sink like its predecessors.

In this decadent and absurd world, everything is possible, and ruins are the direction of most cities - exploitation by the upper class, unpredictable natural disasters, and occasional huge beast tides. There are too many ways for a city-state to quickly go to destruction.

People here always repeat the same things tirelessly, even if everyone knows that they are hopeless and the world is hopeless.

But Paradise City began to become a little different. After the huge disaster, it was rebuilt rapidly. Under the blessing of various policies and the control of various rules, Paradise City unexpectedly showed a new trend.

Even if everyone has not experienced such a thing, they also understand that something called "rebirth" is quietly rising.

At least on the surface.

As one of the actual managers of Paradise City, Qiong Ying carried out everything according to Sean's requirements. She did not go deep into the city, but just recorded everything she could see from the perspective of an observer.

Strict work system, clear rewards and punishments, and strict settlement methods... Most people think that these systems are the important reasons for the development of Paradise City.

But what most people don't know is that the giant behind Paradise City [Golden Ghost] has been transfusing blood for the entire city in an incredible way.

More than half of those cheap and abundant living supplies come from the Ai Caravan, and the Ai Caravan can sell them at more than three times the price in the next city as long as it travels a little further.

The Ai Caravan is still willing to make only a little profit on basic supplies, all because of Sean alone.

The rare materials that the Great Rift continues to produce are valuable, and the only channel for the outside world to purchase them is the Ai Caravan. In addition, Qiong Ying is very clear about one thing, Ai Youqian expresses his goodwill with profits, which is his investment in Sean.

In addition, [Golden Ghost] did not expand its power. On the surface, [Golden Ghost] is much stronger than before in terms of power and resources. There is only this one family left in Paradise City.

But if compared with other cities, no matter who it is, they have to secretly say: [Golden Ghost] is really a kind man.

The power and profit decentralization are unimaginable for many masters.

All kinds of factors combined together have led to the rapid development of Paradise City today.

But Qiong Ying can see many things. Even if these systems are making Paradise City better, the essence of this place does not seem to have changed.

Some people began to risk sneaking into the Great Rift again, trying to obtain those scarce resources-even if they have the opportunity to join the excavation team and can get a share afterwards.

But the profit of more than three times still makes many people choose to take risks.

Those who made great efforts and received rewards in the early stage of urban reconstruction began to take it for granted that they should enjoy higher treatment.

Taking advantage of power to enrich oneself has become a common thing, especially after Sean left, this situation has intensified.

Just like the lottery ceremony being held outside the city, Qiong Ying is very clear that more than 80% of the numbers have been decided at a high price.

Even within [Golden Ghost], some people have bought villas in the city center and married more than a dozen wives.

According to Sean's instructions, both Paradise City as a whole and [Golden Ghost] are operating according to normal policies and rules - this also makes lawyers in Paradise City more popular. As long as the rules can be bypassed, everything is reasonable.

It is almost foreseeable that the development speed of Paradise City will not stagnate, but after surpassing the original Paradise City, it will return to its original state.

"Is this the [essence of the world] that Sean said..." Qiong Ying whispered to herself, with some emotion in her tone.

In fact, after seeing enough filth, Qiong Ying has seen a lot of things clearly. She lives only for one person, but her innate kindness makes her a little reluctant.

But that's all.

The only person she cares about more now is Sean. Something happened recently that made her feel a little uneasy.

People from the Ai's caravan kept going in and out of Paradise City, and from time to time they would bring news about Sean, but in the past two months, she had not updated the news in her hands.

Moreover, when she took the initiative to ask the other party, the executives of the Ai's caravan who knew the inside story avoided her.

This made Qiong Ying have some bad associations-did something happen to Sean?

I heard that there was a war in the empire recently, and the empire was invaded, and the invaders were a special race called tree people.

With Sean's personality, it is inevitable that he will get involved in some troublesome things...

But he is so cunning, nothing should happen to him...

Shaking her head to put aside those thoughts, Qiong Ying exhaled a little irritably.

Just thinking about it, a subordinate came to find her.

"Ms. Qiong Ying, the list of people who have won the lottery this time has come out. I checked and found that they are connected to some of the people on the last lottery list. They should be a group that entered in batches."

Qiong Ying frowned slightly: "Who collected the money?"

She is no longer the Qiong Ying she used to be. During this period of time, the superior trait called momentum has been nurtured.

The subordinate lowered his head hurriedly: "It has not been investigated clearly, but there are basically only a few people in the relationship, and we have some doubts about the city lord..."

"City lord..." Qiong Ying narrowed her eyes, and sneered after a moment, "Sean was generous enough to give him that position at the beginning, but now he doesn't take Sean's words to heart... Investigate him."

"Yes, Miss Qiong Ying." The subordinate raised his head slightly, "What if there is a problem?"

Qiong Ying waved her hand calmly: "Forget about other people, he is the one chosen by Sean. Since he has failed Sean's expectations, let him encounter some accidents... and then change the city lord. .”

Sure enough, Miss Qiong Ying is as cold-blooded as the rumored Lord Sean... No wonder they are a couple...

The subordinate felt a little cold in his heart, and continued to report: "In addition, some of the new people who came to the city brought supplies, including some equipment, wood, etc. After a rough check, there is no big problem. Do you need to check again?"

Wood... Qiong Ying narrowed her eyes slightly: "Check, divide all the wood, and arrest those who have objections directly."

"Yes. In addition..."

There are a lot of things to report, fortunately Qiong Ying has adapted to the intensity of this kind of work. After giving all the instructions, the subordinate turned around and left.

Stretching a little tiredly, she leaned against the wall in a trance.

I haven't seen Sean for a long time...

I have done a lot of things during this period... If he knows, will he praise me...

While thinking, a faint fragrance entered his nostrils.

Qiong Ying tilted her head, and sure enough, Latia was already standing beside her.

"Teacher, why are you here?" She smiled and said hello.

Looking at her students, Latiya shook her head slightly, and said with some heartache: "You focus on these things every day, and don't know how to take more rest."

In front of the teacher, Qiong Ying no longer had the airs of a superior. She stuck out her tongue mischievously: "Paradise City is Sean's place, I have to take care of it for him."

Latiya said a little unhappily: "It's not just him, it's the whole [Golden Ghost], Jin Kui doesn't care about it, the few people around Sean were either taken away by him, or the ones left behind were guys like Endeli who soaked in the laboratory... You are left to do everything alone?"

Qiong Ying shrugged her shoulders, which is a common action of Sean.

"It's okay, there's not much to do."

"Really..." Latiya shook her head and took out a chip.

"What is this?" Qiong Ying asked in confusion.

"Sean asked someone to bring it to you."

"Sean?"

Qiong Ying's delicate face was visibly surprised, and before Latiya could speak again, she had already grasped the chip tightly in her palm.

Seeing her student like this, Latiya sighed in her heart, but all kinds of strange emotions surged in her heart.

"Teacher, did Sean say anything else?"

Nothing... My name was not even mentioned once... Latiya gritted her teeth secretly.

She forced a smile: "If there is something, it will naturally be placed in the chip... You can see it for yourself."

"Okay."

Qiong Ying nodded, without even saying goodbye, the water flow came out of thin air and came to her feet, the waves moved forward, carrying her away from the original place at a very fast speed.

Only Latiya was left standing there, sighing secretly and gritted her teeth, and I don’t know what she was thinking.

Back to Sean’s bedroom, this place has now become Qiong Ying’s residence.

Picking up the chip and studying it, recalling what Sean said at the beginning, Qiong Ying found a set of holographic playback equipment produced by the shelter, inserted the chip and put it on her head.

After a "tick", the person who appeared in the field of vision immediately made Qiong Ying crazy.

Still sitting lazily on the chair, still with that carefree look as if he had everything in his hands, who else could it be but Sean?

"Sean..." The delicate nose moved a few times, and Qiong Ying had already started to cry.

Sean in the holographic projection smiled: "Do you miss me, baby? I guess you're crying. By the way, you should sit in our room. There are tissues at the head of the bed, so don't wipe your nose with the quilt and clothes."

Qiong Ying burst into laughter. This bad guy always knows what he is doing and thinking.

As if he knew that she really missed him too much, Sean's love words came out like they were free, and some of them were so corny that people would faint.

However, Qiong Ying just fell for it. After listening to it, her body softened a lot, and her eyes almost melted when she looked at Sean.

Even though she knew that what was in front of her was just a holographic projection, an illusion that could not be touched, Qiong Ying still subconsciously reached out to touch her lover's face.

After touching nothing, she just pouted in grievance.

Unexpectedly, Sean laughed as if he was there: "You must have touched my face, but you couldn't, I feel so wronged, hahahaha."

He laughed heartlessly, and Qiongying cried and laughed.

I thought the greetings were over and Sean was going to start talking about business, but who knew that this was just an opening statement.

He seemed to have accumulated a lot of things to share with Qiongying, from what he ate to what happened, including his promotion to Crimson and fake death.

Qiongying could spend a whole day just looking at the other person's face, not to mention that the other person really seemed like Xiaobie's newlywed husband, sharing big and small things with her all the time.

For a moment, the feeling of being valued and missed made Qiong Ying feel completely surrounded by happiness, and the look she looked at Sean was even more infatuated.

The fatigue, small grievances, and big longings during this period of time all disappeared.

No, my longing has not dissipated, I miss him even more.

There were a lot of things stored in the holographic projection, and after talking for a long time, Sean mentioned what he wanted Qiong Ying to do for him.

"Here at Endeli's place, help me find it. If there's anything I need to ask him to help me figure out."

Although she knew the other party couldn't hear her, Qiong Ying still nodded repeatedly: "Well, I'll go find him right away."

"By the way, there are still some things you need to know..."

…

On the other side of Paradise City, the foreigners who had dialed their numbers cheered together and had reached the final steps to enter the city.

Despite the call, they lined up in an orderly manner, waiting for inspection.

In the team, a group of dull-looking people stood together, dragging several trucks with various resources inside.

It is allowed to bring resources into the city. Of course, after entering the city, part of it will be deducted as a 'storage fee'.

The inspection is not too strict, and if you can put something into the staff's pocket during the inspection, it will be even faster.

Seeing that the team in front had finished checking, the leader of this group glanced at his subordinates, who immediately picked up a credit card universal to Paradise City and stood in front of the team.

"What's inside?" the staff member asked lazily, eyes drooping.

The person in charge of the handover immediately nodded and bowed and said: "Here, come and open some materials, including machinery, wood, etc., for this gentleman to see."

The cargo box was opened generously, and the credit card was thrust into the hands of the staff.

The staff glanced at the numbers and put them in their pockets with satisfaction.

He pointed to one of the cargo boxes: "The wood has all been cut. According to Decree No. 30, complete wood needs to be cut before it can enter the city."

The handover person showed a troubled look, and immediately pushed another piece over: "Sir, this whole piece of wood will be worthless if it is cut..."

The staff member took it in again without saying a word, and was about to continue talking when suddenly, a device on his waist vibrated.

He pretended to hesitate for a while, then waved his hand: "Forget it, transport it in quickly. By the way, remember to pay the storage fee."

"Hey, thank you, sir."

The city gate slowly opened, and the team carrying a large amount of wood entered the city.
