Then let them offer their loyalty!

For outsiders, the entire 6th shelter is likely a black box right now.

Nobody knows what happened inside, and nobody knows what will happen.

Only after the dust settles will the light return.

Thinking this, even Qiu Tu couldn't help but shake his head.

Kou Xuan's move to undermine everything was indeed brilliant, completely disrupting all of his and Princess Xi's plans.

I'm alright. Although I've been preparing to get involved in the affairs of the 6th shelter, I haven't officially intervened yet.

You can withdraw anytime you want. There's almost no loss.

The current Princess Xi... is in a different situation. She may very well find herself in a dilemma.

After all, Kou Xuan's move directly struck at her vital point.

If she moves forward, the royalists will likely be internally divided and unable to support her continued attempt to seize the throne.

As she walked away, she and her son would no longer be able to wield supreme power over the shelter.

So... what would you choose?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look up in the direction of Shelter No. 8...

.......

Meanwhile, at Shelter No. 8, the Fengtian Grand Hotel, in the Presidential Suite.

Princess Xi, dressed in luxurious attire, was looking at the maid in front of her with an icy expression.

After the maid finished recounting all the information in detail, she wiped the sweat from her brow and said, "This news was sent out as a notification, so the guards are in turmoil."

"Lord Ji Yuan is currently calming down the guards, and then he asked me to ask Your Highness what your choice is."

Upon hearing the maid's words, Princess Xi's face darkened so much it looked like it was about to rain.

She clutched the intelligence report in her hand, her heavy chest heaving with breath.

However, the fact that she could find the most suitable way out as soon as her family fell into decline; that she knew how to train loyal followers when she was a teenager; and that she could build a powerful royalist faction in just a few years, shows that Princess Xi is clearly a woman with great shrewdness and political acumen.

So she forced herself to suppress her emotions and asked in a deep voice, "What did Elder Guo, Elder Xiong, and Hayden say?"

The maid hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Highness... I don't know."

"After receiving the news, Lord Ji contacted Elder Guo immediately."

"But the two barely exchanged a few words before the line went dead."

"Afterwards, Lord Ji tried to restore communication, but failed to do so despite trying many methods."

"Finally, he suspected that the Kou family had cut off the shelter's main communication lines to the outside world."

"The shelter is now an isolated island with no communication; nobody knows what's happening."

Upon hearing this, Princess Xi's expression turned completely icy.

But at the end, the maid added, "However, Lord Ji said that after contacting Elder Guo, he immediately confirmed the Crown Prince's safety."

"The Crown Prince has been moved to a safe place and is under heavy protection. He should be out of danger for the time being."

Upon hearing this stroke of good fortune amidst misfortune, Princess Xi's expression finally softened somewhat.

But she closed her eyes and waved to the maid, "You may leave now. I need to calm down."

Upon hearing Princess Xi's words, the maidservant quickly bowed and left the room.

After the maid closed the door, Princess Xi was left alone in the room.

She reached out as if to smash the things in her hand to pieces, but stopped abruptly when she had them in mid-air.

After a few seconds of stillness, Princess Xi suppressed her emotions and slowly placed the things in her hands back on the table.

Then she got up, walked to the window of the presidential suite, and looked out.

The eight shelters are the last masterpieces of human civilization during the Cataclysmic Era. So although they are not filled with skyscrapers like before the Cataclysm, they are still a thriving scene.

Looking down at the Eighth Shelter, Princess Xi couldn't help but think of the Sixth Shelter, and the more than ten years she spent starting over after her family suffered a major upheaval and she sought refuge with Prince Kang...

Now that all her plans had failed, she felt an inexplicable calm, and her eyes were incredibly deep and dark...

......

At noon, in Dongye Prefecture, at Qiu Tu's residence.

Being prepared for unforeseen circumstances and having multiple escape routes has always been Qiu Tu's bottom line.

Although Shelter 6 is Qiu Tu's target, it is not his only objective.

Like continuing to advance in the 8th shelter, like directly granting territory and establishing the 9th shelter.

Like... relying on Zehime and Lariro, to establish a unified anti-government armed force in the disaster zone.

The higher you climb in life, the more choices you actually have. And you can always find a way out.

Putting everything else aside, the 2000 dark soldiers under Qiu Tu's command are, to some extent, enough for Qiu Tu to start a business anywhere, anytime.

He is no longer the same person he was when he first transmigrated, penniless and relying solely on his cheat-like abilities.

He now possesses far more powerful abilities, magical artifacts, and allies than any cheat code.

Of course... no one would complain about being too strong. If he had an extra cheat ability, making him even stronger, Qiu Tu would naturally be more confident!

With that in mind, Qiu Tu, after having lunch, strolled upstairs by himself.

Back upstairs, Qiu Tu burned incense and took a bath, then began to activate his monthly cheat code.

Qiu Tu currently has three cheat codes, two of which are fixed: "Crisis Sense" and "Loyalty Game".

These two advantages are closely related to Qiu Tu's current development, and Qiu Tu simply cannot give them up.

Therefore, he only has the third cheat code slot to refresh.

"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, please give me a useful cheat code."

"Give me something that can help me develop my power, or solve the problems at the Sixth Sanctuary, or even a cheat code to fight against the evil god."

"Hmm...it would be best if she could outshine Zehime."

Thinking this, Qiu Tu silently refreshed his mind.

As before, there were no special effects or sounds. The next second, Qiu Tu saw the new cheat code for the month: getting something for nothing!

"To gain without effort?" Qiu Tu murmured the name softly, his eyes flickering slightly.

Then he studied this cheat code carefully.

"No pain, no gain?"

"This cheat can be triggered as long as it's not an interaction with other creatures?"

"From using cultivation methods and martial arts techniques to unlocking locks and drawing diagrams, as long as I can theoretically do it, I can 'actively trigger' this cheat?"

"For example... I don't need to practice that basic sword technique that Tang Feifei taught me before?"

"Once I activate this ability, it's like I'm creating a clone that's constantly practicing that sword technique, and the experience gained from that practice will be continuously absorbed by myself?"

"And I should just handle my official duties and enjoy myself as usual?"

"For example, if I want to paint a picture, all I need to do is activate this cheat, prepare paper, ink, brush, and inkstone. After a while, the materials will be consumed automatically, and then a painting of mine will be created?"

"hiss!"

Although this cheat isn't particularly powerful, it's incredibly ingenious, and it feels like it has enormous potential for further development.

Without saying a word, in just a moment, Qiu Tu had several ways to use this ability in his mind.

For example, "cultivating martial arts skills", "refining regional centers", "handling official business", and "alibi".

With this ability, Qiu Tu could finally "wipe out the enemy's entire family and handle official business at the same time."

This is even more convenient than creating a clone. After all, Qiu Tu did it himself...

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly paused for a moment.

Huh? Wait a minute.

If... this ability truly allows one to do anything "within one's power".

Could I use it to depict that incredibly complex cataclysmic ability, the "Sealing Jade"?

Qiu Tuke recalls that the biggest problem he faced in carving the "Sealing Jade" was that its structure was too complex, making it too troublesome to carve.

But he was too busy to depict it.

Now that there is "getting something for nothing", perhaps I can successfully create it in 2-3 days?

Chapter 562 The Third Wonderful Use of the Golden Finger! (10,000 words, please vote!)

Thinking about it, Qiu Tu suddenly felt that he could give it a try.

After all, no matter how much you research the effects of a skill, it's not as good as actually testing it out.

Perhaps after trying it out, many things that I didn't understand will become clear.

Even if this ability is not as good as expected, I can always wait until next month to refresh it.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu stopped waiting and went directly to the sofa. He then took out several "Boundless Divine Crystals" and a piece of jade-shaped cataclysmic material, and began to test this latest cheat.

With his eyes closed, recalling the details of the "ever-changing invisibility" technique, Qiu Tu directly activated his third cheat, "getting something for nothing".

A flash of light, and nothing happened...

Qiu Tu exclaimed "Huh?" and then pondered for a moment.

After a moment, he tried to activate the "Order Space" and gain "absolute perception".

Then, he tried to use "get something for nothing" again to depict the "invisibility" cataclysmic ability on the cataclysmic material.

This time, a glimmer of light appeared, and something changed before Qiu Tu's eyes.

Two lines of small characters appeared on the jade stone:

"Earn money without working in progress..."

"Depicting the 'Equation of Ever-Changing Invisibility and Cataclysmic Ability'..."

"Progress: 0.1%, estimated time: 5 hours."

Seeing the prompt in front of him, Qiu Tu's eyes lit up slightly: Success!

As Qiu Tu watched the progress change from 0.1% to 0.12%, he also analyzed the information he had obtained.

First, he can be certain that this "golden touch" cannot control or influence him.

This can be seen from the fact that although he clearly has an "ordered space" and can possess "absolute perception," the "golden finger" of "getting something for nothing" cannot take effect.

This cheat code will only work if you gather all the "necessary conditions" to achieve your goal.

This cheat code is just an aid. It can help you save time and energy.

Secondly... this cheat code actually has the magical effect of "optimizing efficiency".

Qiu Tu recalls that he spent eight hours on the task of creating the "ever-changing invisibility" character, which was not only tiring and energy-consuming, but also intermittent.

The result was that it only took 5 hours to "get something for nothing".

Qiu Tu certainly didn't believe that this cheat ability could compress time. So there was only one possibility: this cheat ability used his "peak condition".

In other words, it would take 8 hours for a normal person to create a "multi-faceted invisibility equation".

A person in their "peak condition" can complete the portrayal by working continuously for 5 hours without eating, drinking, or resting.

This immediately made the effect of this "golden touch" much stronger.

After all, people's thoughts are easily scattered, and attention is easily distracted no matter what they are doing.

No one can guarantee that they will always be at their peak.

But this cheat code works!

So using this cheat code not only saves energy, allowing you to do other things at the same time, but also... saves time!
