The two people were gently tapped on the forehead by the man, and after he whispered something in their ears, they walked out in a daze and mechanically.

I guess their memories have been erased.

It’s just unknown how many aftereffects there will be.

Lin Ke left a mark on them, just like the farmer who was taken away by the junior manager before.

These people, Lin Ke won’t let them feel disheartened.

The man in a suit clapped his hands with satisfaction and said, "Now I will distribute tasks among you. This time, the task is about inventions related to plants."

"Inventions related to... plants?" Someone didn’t quite understand.

"Specifically, it involves using things discovered by Lord Mark to cultivate plants, um, and to cultivate them with other things." The man in a suit smiled, "For example, combining plants with lightning, plants with fire..."

"Combining with fire, wouldn’t that just burn them?"

"Yeah, it’s the same with lightning."

"How does that even combine?"

The few people who were recruited began to speak quietly, not daring to speak loudly.

However, the man heard them, smiled, and explained, "This is where you need to cooperate..."

The man began to explain the tasks they needed to do.

In simple terms, they needed to test various hypotheses in a plot of land, and those hypotheses didn’t come from Elson, but from others.

They implement those ideas one by one, and finally, they can credit Elson for it. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Sir, were all of King of Inventions Elson’s previous awards obtained this way?" Lin Ke pretended to be humble and asked.

When asked about this sensitive topic, the man was not worried, because of the constraints of the Divine Power contract.

So he said, "Not all of them, but most are."

Is that so?

Lin Ke’s inner anger was already surging.

However, to figure out this black industry chain, Lin Ke still needed to continue playing the role of a worker within it.

Even he hadn’t expected that just as the various systems of Great Wilderness City were in their initial creation and development stages, such an industry chain would emerge.

This industry chain that stifles people’s creativity and inspiration must be abolished!

The King of Inventions, model workers, and King of the Arena titles awarded each year are merely honorary titles, without any substantial rewards.

At most, it means having the chance to come into contact with bloodline enlightenment and professionals.

Professionals cannot compete for honorary titles.

This is one of the channels Lin Ke provides for ordinary people.

There are always people who can’t get into reading or studying.

But these people may have great talent and achievements in other areas.

Therefore, Lin Ke wants to provide as many pathways upwards for talented people as possible, to give them a platform to showcase their talents.

And this black industry chain is precisely what cuts off the ascent channels for some talented people.

Of course, true genius won’t be defeated by numbers.

But many who are above average will.

Lin Ke could imagine, when he would see this so-called King of Inventions Elson, how amazed he would be.

Fortunately, while considering the employment situation in Great Wilderness City, he came in "disguise" and inadvertently discovered this secret underground industry.

Now, let’s see who has developed it and who is involved in it.

"Sir, when will we be able to get the money?" Lin Ke once again cautiously inquired, like a poor person worried about not receiving money.

This concern is quite reasonable, so the man smiled and replied, "You can get it every day, of course, someone will supervise your work, don’t think about slacking off."

It was clear that this man was quite friendly to them.

Lin Ke understood this was because, after signing the contract, the man regarded them as his own people.

Thus, they were taken by the man to the planting area.

This farm has a small hut, and there are people farming outside. This is one of the planting areas in Great Wilderness City.

When they arrived here, the man immediately went to find someone in charge, a steward-looking person, and then left.

But Lin Ke had never seen this steward.

The steward looked at everyone with a stern face and said, "Just follow me. When Young Master Elson asks you anything, don’t answer randomly, just wait for me to answer."

With that, he stepped forward and knocked on the small wooden hut’s door.

"Who is it! I told you not to disturb me! I need to find enough inspiration from the books!"

A restless young man’s voice sounded out.

"Young Master, I’ve sent for people to help with the work, to practice your inspirations." The steward’s demeanor turned amiable at this time, and his tone was extraordinarily gentle.

"Bang!"

The door was opened, and a young man walked out.

This young man’s hair was messy like a bundle of dried willow branches, falling strand by strand from the top of his head, tied with a straw rope and hanging behind his waist.

His body was thin and skinny, but his face was shiny with oil, with long and black nails full of black dirt.

But his eyes were very bright.

Those black pupils were as bright as torches in the night.

But at this moment, these torch-like eyes were full of impatience, but he still tried to calm down, and said to Lin Ke and the others, "Thank you all for coming to help me, you only need to implement my requirements."

"Yes." Lin Ke and the others replied.

Lin Ke also found that this Elson seemed to be unaware.

But then again, when the awards are presented, many powerful figures gather, and a guilty ordinary person can easily be seen through.

This proves that Elson must have been deceived and concealed from, used for profit.

However, the steward and the several people from the city hall just now are certainly not blameless.

"Looks like, there’s still a need for the [Judge]..." Lin Ke slowly shook his head and muttered to himself.

"What?" Elson asked in confusion, not hearing clearly.

The steward also raised his eyebrows, "Is he sick? We don’t want people with head illnesses."

A fierce gaze flashed in the steward’s eyes. If this were not Great Wilderness City, Lin Ke would probably have been killed and had his body disposed of.

The other recruited people also looked over, not knowing what this old man was doing.

However, just as they were puzzled, Lin Ke’s figure began to change.

From an honest, slightly hunched farmer, he transformed into a young and handsome noble of over 1.8 meters.

Seeing this scene, Elson and the steward and others were stunned.

Especially the steward!

He remembered Lin Ke’s origins; he was recruited from the city hall, and his heart hardened, his fingernails suddenly grew longer, gleaming darkly.

He lunged forward, aiming his nails at Lin Ke’s throat.

"You, don’t you know who I am?"

However, Lin Ke’s puzzled voice rang out, and the steward immediately felt his body had been restrained by a powerful force.

"Your power... from the far west’s [Fear Claw Werewolf]?"
