I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods
Chapter 651 - 187: One Year of Change (4,100 Words)
Seeing Yun You unwilling to speak, Jin was also clear in his heart that the comfort of others was of no use. At times like this, only when the little girl figures it out herself will everything get better.
"Then you take a good rest for a while. I'll take care of the rest."
Jin gently patted Yun You's shoulder, not saying any extra words, only leaving an agreement.
"I'll quickly finish handling the matters of Nest City No. 3, then you and I will have a good chat about... [Calamity Demon]."
Yun You's expression froze.
Previously, at the Cosmic Library, Deng had already told her that Jin was knowledgeable and must know information about the Calamity Demon.
Back then, she made up her mind, determined to find an opportunity to ask Jin clearly.
But later, feeling down... coupled with a bit of confusion in her head, she forgotten about it.
Yet, Jin brought it up proactively at this moment.
It seems this old man not only knows some inside information, but might have also guessed her identity as the Calamity Demon to some extent.
"Mm..."
Despite being surprised, the little girl still didn't know what to say, she could only softly respond with a hum.
Jin no longer spoke further, his thoughts also became numerous and complicated. The joy of victory moments ago had now vanished without a trace, replaced by a string of administrative affairs.
Zhao Xuan had died, which meant that in the future, the leadership of Nest City No. 3 would fall to him and his team.
He, too, carried an extremely heavy responsibility.
After that, things slowly became smooth.
The Supreme Heaven Purification Field and "War Master" were very satisfied with this duel, so they presented extremely generous rewards—the warriors who participated in the duel received a complete set of advanced Body Refining Manual and custom weapons.
As for Yun You, who fought six consecutive battles, received acknowledgment from the War Master himself, stating that a special power was bestowed upon her. However, Yun You could not feel it now; it would only be obtained after breaking through to Tier Five.
Then, everyone was safely sent back to the real world.
Afterwards, Yun You handed over the intelligence about the Saint's Remains, along with Deng's phrase "the greedy won't meet a good end," all to Jin.
Hence, Jin enthusiastically briefed Chen Zaikun and Jiang Wuji on some matters and then headed to Rust Bay for treasure hunting.
Mokaka also took office, formally becoming the mayor amidst the cheers of the populace, and began issuing her own decrees.
As for Tian En, being one of Mokaka's few confidants, naturally took on the task of guarding. However, compared to guarding, people always felt this young lady was finding chances to reasonably stick close to Mokaka...
Yun You returned to Huangxing Group but didn't say anything either. She merely silently worshiped her parents and older brother Jack, and thereafter acted as a hands-off manager, handing all affairs over to Aurora and Frost Moon, while she stayed in the chairman's office "retreating," whether in "cultivating" or in "cultivating the heart."
...
Time flew by quickly, in the blink of an eye, half a year had already passed.
Though in the history of Nest City and humanity, half a year is just a fleeting moment.
Yet during this year, Nest City No. 3 and even the entire Earth's dynamics underwent enormous changes.
With Jiang Wuji and Chen Zaikun's support, Mokaka not only implemented new social welfare policies in the Lower City, improving benefits for workers and farmers, enhancing free education and healthcare systems, but also expanded them into Central City with remarkable results.
In merely seven to eight months, the two large districts constructed over a hundred schools, and tens of thousands of community health clinics, breaking the aristocrats' monopoly over education and the dominance of medical giants.
Moreover, the most crucial aspect—Mokaka provided nearly ten million employment positions for the two districts, which not only significantly boosted the stability of Nest City but also further increased the municipal council's fiscal revenue. This made those city council members who wanted to question her shut their mouths upon seeing the financial reports.
In the past, the rampant banditry in Nest City Lower City, the indestructible gangs, and the yearly strengthening Cartel Group's fundamental reason was that the citizens of Lower City lacked jobs and stable income, so they sometimes had no option but to seek refuge in gangs.
Few people are born liking a life licking blood from the blade; it is forced helplessness.
Now, with the opportunity for regular work, who would still want to keep their head put on the line every day?
Thus, in these months, the gangs in the Lower City and Midtown District were largely exterminated.
Some illegal industries, such as the manufacturing and selling of prohibited drugs, extreme films, and human trafficking, although still somewhat present, at least couldn't brazenly sell as they did before.
This alone shows that the accomplishments of Mokaka over half a year have already surpassed all achievements of the predecessor mayor Carlos in his seventy years of service.
Of course, reforms of this scale inevitably harmed some people's interests.
Such as the former overlord of Nest City No. 3—Biotechnology Company.
Ever since Mokaka began implementing healthcare reforms, the sales of Biotechnology's low-end products declined month by month, and in less than a year, their market share in Lower City decreased by at least ninety percent.
