Guarding the River of Time-Chapter 320 - 311: What the Hell Did You Even Steal for Me?
The tiger whale screeched to a halt, stopping right in front of Su Mu, splashing water everywhere.
"Being such a grown-up, why are you still rushing around recklessly?"
Seeing the tiger whale rush over, Su Mu laughed and scolded.
The next moment, the tiger whale took out a storage bag and handed it to Su Mu.
After taking the storage bag, he discovered it was filled with treasures, all of very high grade and good quality, so he asked, "Where did you get these?"
Upon hearing this, the tiger whale sent its thoughts into Su Mu’s mind.
Hearing its message, Su Mu looked up and found that Chu Feng was long gone.
Goodness, so you got them from conning Chu Feng.
You little tiger head, have you learned to be naughty?
How did you start learning to cheat and deceive?
In response, the tiger whale chuckled, indicating that under its master’s influence, it too had learned some tricks to benefit its master!
However, regarding such methods, Su Mu stated that even when "tricking" someone, there should be a conscience and principles; you can’t just rob them, there must be reason.
Little Tiger Head helped Chu Feng, and he paid in return, so this could be considered reasonable.
Su Mu never thought that collecting river tolls was a form of robbery or trickery, after all... this river is his own, how can collecting tolls be considered robbery?
Cheating and deceiving are definitely out of the question, right?
He didn’t force anyone to cross the river, it was their choice, both parties are willing, so how can that be equated to trickery and deception? The difference is fundamental!
Thinking of this, Su Mu put away the storage bag.
Then he began today’s patrol.
The income these past few days has been mediocre, the worst day bringing in only a thousand Favor Points.
Although, at first glance, a thousand Favor Points isn’t little, considering when he first came to this river, he couldn’t even earn a hundred a day.
But perhaps he got used to the high income of the past two years, earning thousands a day, sometimes even six figures when big events occurred, which led to feeling nothing when earning a thousand a day now.
Even though Su Mu’s main job is to guard this river and maintain stability, too much peace isn’t good either; day after day of calm winds and smooth waves, with no incidents to quell, results in mediocre income.
Su Mu walked along the riverbank, hands clasped behind his back, eagerly looking upstream.
Thinking to himself, when will the water rise again...?
It was after the flood two years ago that Su Mu’s income soared, but as two years have passed, the benefits from the flood have mostly been used up.
He really misses a year or two ago, when a wrong turn could land him in a situation, and walking along the road could find money, but alas, those days are gone!
Su Mu opened the attribute panel to check his current River Affinity and the remaining total Favor Points.
[River Affinity: 36%)]
[River Favor Points: 425,000 points]
This more than four hundred thousand was diligently saved during this period.
Let’s spend it all at once.
The more money you have, the less the pressure.
[Favor Points - 400,000]
[River Affinity: 36%]→[River Affinity: 40%]
It was raised to forty percent at once.
The next second, a curtain of water formed around the area where Su Mu stood, surrounding Su Mu at its center.
He could feel that his connection with this river had improved in a qualitative way.
There was already a vague sense of merging with this river, a feeling of "control," which had never been clear before, but after reaching forty percent, it became very obvious.
Most straightforwardly, Su Mu can now close his eyes and envision the rough outline of this river in his mind, though incomplete, it is a very noticeable improvement.
Also, now when he uses his divine sense, it can reach very far away.
If the main river channel of the River of Time were divided into ten parts, then now when he deploys his divine sense, he can sense four parts.
However, this is only the main channel because this river has many tributaries, and Su Mu’s perception has yet to reach the tributaries; perhaps only refining it completely can cover the whole river, including all tributaries!
....
In the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm of All Heavens and Myriad Realms.
The leader of the Heaven Shepherd Alliance, being the elder in charge, put down the pen in his hand and sorted through the countless files on the desk, taking a deep breath.
He stood up and stretched.
Being the Grand Alliance Leader of the Heaven Shepherd Alliance, his power is second only to the master, yet he is also the busiest one.
Because the Heaven Shepherd Alliance is truly too vast, many complex situations have to be reported layer by layer, ultimately requiring his approval.
The third elder doesn’t care about affairs, only commanding armies in battle.
The fourth sister usually travels outside, traversing the lands, seeking talents or finding new resources for the alliance, like Dragon Veins, Immortal Veins, etc.
The fifth elder mainly handles intelligence and is always running around outside.
As for Xiao Liu, his current strength is too weak and needs growth, still developing slowly in his world, unable to help currently.
The most formidable seventh younger brother, he hasn’t seen his true form; now he assists the master along the River of Time.
Currently, the only one who can truly share some responsibilities is Dong’Er.
But as the highest decision-maker, Dong’Er can’t make decisions for him, only provide some advice; besides, Dong’Er spends most of her time planning for the future war against the Longevity Immortal Realm, so he doesn’t want to bother her with alliance matters.
Thus, the elder has his hands full.
Oh, and there’s the second elder...
The second elder... let’s consider him dead!
Just thinking about the second elder fills him with anger.
..... 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
The weary elder prepared to drink some tea to rest; he had just brought the cup to his lips.
When the wind chime in the courtyard sounded urgently, ringing seven times in a row.
Startled, the elder sprang up, the teacup slipping from his hand to the ground.
The next second, a cyan simurgh hurriedly broke through the void, flying in front of the elder, with a red classified report clamped in its beak.
The elder took the report, opened it, read the content, his pupils constricting rapidly, his face flushed with anger as he tore the report to shreds.
Jumping onto the cyan simurgh’s back, he whispered furiously, "Take me there quickly!"
Upon hearing this, the cyan simurgh dared not delay and rushed into the void with the elder, heading to the frontier of the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm.
Meanwhile, inside the Cyan Fragrance Courtyard.
Dong’Er also received an urgent classified message from the front line, and after reading it, she set it down slowly.
She tapped the wind chime in the courtyard.
Soon, a snow eagle emerged from the void, landing in front of Dong’Er.
Dong’Er slowly took out a purple brocade bag from her sleeve, handed it to the snow eagle, and instructed, "At the fastest speed, go to the frontier and deliver this brocade bag to the Grand Alliance Leader."
