Then let them offer their loyalty!

Because there are no special cases like Tang Feifei, there is no third deputy director.

As for the head of the administrative department, since Qiu Tu can make the decision with a single word, the position is temporarily vacant until Qiu Tu finds a suitable candidate.

And so, after the meeting, the middle and senior management of the New Territories City were in different states of mind.

Yu Zhengyi, Lin Ting, and the others all looked somewhat dejected. Shi Youxin also had a solemn expression. Even Guan Weihua's face didn't look good.

As for Qiu Tu and Guan Xiao, they naturally had smiles on their faces.

The expressions of Ellie and the other two were also quite different.

However, Qiu Tu noticed a detail: Ellie was very familiar with the other two people.

Even... the two of them seemed to be leading Ellie.

This is not a good sign.

After all... the Deputy Director of Operations and the Deputy Director of Management, working together, have taken over most of the Investigation Agency's operations, which is enough to sideline the Director.

If a special operations department is added, it's equivalent to consolidating a large portion of military power.

'Huang Shangzong has a clever plan...'

However, although Qiu Tu praised Huang Shangzong's plan in his heart, he did not take Ellie and the others seriously.

Let's not even talk about whether Ellie and the others can pull off this plan. Even if they could... Qiu Tu is no longer the same person he used to be.

Now, his sights are set on the state, on the shelters, and even... other shelters.

Fighting with subordinates and colleagues is a trivial matter.

The key to further promotion lies in truly achieving political success or demonstrating merit.

Just like Qiu Tu's two recent promotions: Speaker Huang Shangzong wanted to put pressure on him, but when his achievements were so great that he couldn't suppress him, he was still forced to promote him.

Moreover, through these two incidents, Qiu Tu has also figured out the shelter's attitude.

Perhaps because of the high status of the station, or perhaps because ordinary management personnel are too easily replaceable, what the shelter cares about most are actually the merits and information related to "Boundless Heart Sea" and "Evil God".

Qiu Tu was promoted to deputy director because he led a suicide squad and figured out the key information about the "Boundless Heart Sea - New Territories Area" and the two evil gods.

His promotion to director this time was due to the strengthening of the entire "human camp" caused by the "Yellow Demon" incident.

This intelligence and credit might be very difficult for most middle and senior managers to obtain.

But for Qiu Tu, it wasn't difficult at all...

After all, he also has La Riluo, the "evil god traitor," and top-tier combatants like Tang Feifei, La Riluo, and Cuiying Long Yiyi.

Furthermore, there are readily available clues and targets.

So... after learning yesterday that his position as director was settled, Qiu Tu had already made plans for his next step!

Capture the special species known as the "Yellow Demon"!

Develop "Boundless Ocean of the Heart - New Territories Area"!

Slay the evil god "Whale Shark" who still harbored wicked intentions even after fleeing!

Show your identity as the lord of the region and a fourth-order Cataclysm!

If this isn't enough for Qiu Tu to get promoted, then Qiu Tu wouldn't mind killing a few more fourth-tier evil gods! And cultivating a few more trusted regional lords!

He refused to believe that with such outstanding achievements, Huang Shangzong could suppress him!

Qiu Tu's strong confidence naturally stems from his abilities: after being promoted to director.

Qiu Tu's true strength surged to the peak of the third tier. And with the addition of the pseudo-rank of "Regional Lord," he directly reached the mid-fourth tier!

With such strength, Qiu Tu could take on most of the fourth-tier evil gods.

The only ones he needs to be wary of are the peak fourth-tier and the fifth-tier evil god.

But... he still has Larilu, the "inner confidante of the evil god," as an advisor.

Although Larilu can be a bit of a goofball at times, she's actually quite reliable. At least when it comes to intelligence, she doesn't let Qiu Tu down...

Thinking about this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but recall the message La Riluo had sent him last night.

"Tsk tsk, my Your Holiness, I didn't expect you to be so blasphemous even while doing something like this. I'm really getting more and more satisfied with you~~~"

"Tomorrow night at midnight, by the stream, I have something here that might interest you~~~"

Although I don't know what Lariro is thinking, it doesn't matter.

The fact that La Riluo was able to return to the New Territories and find Qiu Tu proves that Qiu Tu's plan was successful.

Next, no matter what Lariluo wants to do, Qiu Tu just needs to follow his plan and slowly train her.

Qiu Tu believed that this evil goddess girl would definitely become his most important helper! She would help him step by step reach the pinnacle of this world!

Thinking this, Qiu Tu's eyes were filled with determination and confidence in the future.

Meanwhile, Ellie, who had already been appointed to a new position and was sitting next to Qiu Tu, glanced at him with a knowing look.

Qiu Tu's profile is handsome, yet dignified. He gives off a feeling of wanting to get close to him, but also being afraid to approach him.

Ellie was lost in thought for a moment, then couldn't help but purse her lips, thinking to herself: all show and no substance!

She recalled how Yan Yan had been coerced by Qiu Tu these past two days and had been depressed all day, and she became secretly angry.

'I will avenge Yan Yan sooner or later!'

......

Time flies, and soon a day has passed.

Qiu Tu was very busy that day. Since becoming the director, he had a lot of work to sort out.

After work, he was escorted by the motorcade to Committee Member Jiang's home, where he had a casual meal with Committee Member Jiang.

Although Committee Member Jiang didn't say anything during the meal, he did something quite interesting: he had Tao Yaoyao sit next to Qiu Tu and served him food and tea.

They even joked that the two were a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

Tao Yaoyao's face flushed a beautiful red, making her appear even more alluring...

I got home at 11 o'clock.

Qiu Tu washed up and tidied himself up. Then he flipped through the world and went to the "Boundless Heart Sea - New Territories Region" to keep his appointment with Lariluo...

He wanted to see what Larilu had that would interest him.

Two chapters, 10,000 words each, please vote with monthly tickets!

Chapter 410 Three Captures of La Ri Luo! (10,000 words, please vote!)

Sunlight dappled through the dense canopy, scattering along the clear stream that runs through the primeval forest of "Boundless Heart Sea - New Territories Area," draping this tranquil place in a golden veil.

The stream babbles, its water crystal clear, and exudes a refreshing coolness.

Lariro, dressed in a long black dress, sat on a rock on the shore.

A pair of fair, jade-like little feet skimmed across the stream, catching a few shimmering silver fish before quickly falling back into the water.

The long black dress clung to her slender figure, the hem swaying gently with her movements, like a black butterfly dancing in the forest.

At that moment, she seemed not to be an evil god who had unleashed a cataclysmic era, but a real human girl, appearing so innocent and naive.

—When Qiu Tu arrived at the stream, this was the most beautiful scene that greeted his eyes.

Even though Qiu Tu had been working tirelessly every night and was almost immune to matters of the heart, he was still slightly stunned when he saw this picturesque scene.

Perhaps sensing Qiu Tu's arrival, La Riluo braced herself on a large blue stone, gazing at the distant jungle scenery, her little feet gently swaying in the water, splashing up tiny droplets.

Isn't it beautiful?

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu simply hummed in agreement.

Larilu chuckled softly, then said, "This is the spiritual world. Everything can change according to the will of living beings."

"Therefore, it is extremely beautiful, but it is also extremely fake."

As she spoke, she stretched out her slender finger and gently touched the few small silver fish circling around her.

The next second, the little silver fish sprouted two wings and took to the air, excitedly circling around Lariro.

Upon witnessing this miraculous scene, Qiu Tu frowned slightly and narrowed his eyes.

Larilu gently touched one of the small silver fish again.

The next second, many feathers suddenly emerged from inside the little silver fish's body!

The feathers swelled rapidly, expanding from the little silver fish's mouth all the way to its wings and tail!

The next second, the little silver fish transformed into a tiny silver bird out of thin air. Then it spread its wings and flew away!

Larilu watched the little bird fly away, smiled faintly, and her fair, jade-like toes lightly touched the water's surface, stirring up delicate ripples.

"Anyone can conjure or control such a fake thing as long as they know the method."

"But... precisely because of this, they are like soap bubbles to you humans, they will burst before long."

As Lariro spoke, the feathers on the little bird that had just flown more than a hundred meters suddenly disappeared! It reverted back to being a small silver fish.

The little silver fish landed on the ground, struggled and bounced a few times, and finally turned into a puddle of water that seeped into the ground.

Larilu braced herself with her hands behind her back, looking up at the sky. She said, "All the trees, insects, and birds you see before you are almost all made by me, bit by bit."

"And the same is true for other regions. Whether it's the terrain or the creatures lacking higher intelligence, they are all manifestations of the region's ruler or the 'Boundless Sea of ​​the Mind.'"

"This world may be very realistic and beautiful, but it is ultimately fake."

"This is also why we gods always want to descend into the real world."

Hearing Larilu's words, Qiu Tu smiled and replied, "I can understand. But as a human, I can't accept it."

As he spoke, Qiu Tu walked over to La Riluo's side, sat down, and then, like her, dipped his feet into the stream.

It's cool and comfortable.

The real world is in the dead of winter, but the "Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart" is in summer. Traveling back and forth between the two worlds creates a sense of temporal and spatial dislocation.

But when she heard Qiu Tu's answer, La Ri Luo did not give up.

She glanced at Qiu Tu beside her, her fingers lightly twirling the lace hem of her skirt, and said casually, "Qiu Tu... actually, you're not a 'racist'."

"This can be seen from your usual behavior and your attitude towards me."

"Compared to contributing to humanity, you are actually more pursuing your own personal growth and your own wealth and glory."

Qiu Tu neither confirmed nor denied it.

Larilu turned her head, her scarlet eyes looking at Qiu Tu, and said with a hint of seduction, "So... give in to me, Qiu Tu."

"Become my true believer, and then conquer humanity with me! Create a wonderful new world!"

Perhaps worried that her persuasive words were too unrealistic, Larilu said sincerely,

"Actually... I don't intend to do anything to humans."

"I just want a place where I can be in control of my own life and have a place to live."

"When the time comes, I can promise you. This place will be ruled by the two of us."

"We can all set the rules."

"In that place, you are second only to the emperor, above all others!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but smile.

He looked at Lariro and then said, "Your Highness, actually... I also have a suggestion."

"Look... your strength isn't that great among the evil gods."

"And because of the existence of nuclear weapons, you evil gods dare not invade the real world on a large scale."

"Over the years, we've simply maintained a balance. Humanity hasn't dared to launch a large-scale invasion of the 'Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart,' and you evil gods haven't dared to launch a large-scale invasion of the 'Real World.'"

"So... it's extremely difficult for you to rely on me to invade the real world and occupy a region."

"It would be better if... you just gave in to me."

"You become my believer."
