Let's start by analyzing the sun

Legislative Building.

Conference room.

"…It is proposed to use the Legislative Building as the core, and lay large gray crystal lanterns on the square, with the shape pre-determined as a 'five-pointed star'.

"In addition, large lantern sets with different shapes will also be laid in the other three parks in the city for civilians to watch."

Zhao Ming, a deputy director from the Urban Construction Department, who was sent to attend the meeting, carefully introduced the construction plan for the New Year celebration.

Cheng Han's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked, "What is the total cost of the lanterns?"

Zhao Ming was stunned for a moment, and said with sincerity and trepidation: "Your Excellency, including materials, labor costs, etc., it is estimated to be between 580 and 600 gold coins."

This deputy director deeply rejoiced that he had learned the report materials until 2:00 a.m. after learning that the Grand Administrator was going to attend the meeting, and he was thoroughly familiar with all the details.

If he didn't know anything about the question just now, he would definitely be labeled as 'incompetent' by His Excellency, and it would be difficult to secure the position of deputy director.

Cheng Han said decisively: "It's too wasteful, cut this item! The relevant funds will be transferred to the minimum living security project."

Zhao Ming was stunned.

This guy really wanted to say that lantern celebrations are a long-standing tradition that has lasted for sixty years, and watching lanterns during the New Year is also a custom of the civilians in this city. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to cut it off with one knife?

But as soon as he thought of the tragic end of a large number of officials in the Finance Department, the deputy director said nothing in the end.

The female secretary Xie You was the first to react and quickly responded: "Understood!"

She knew very well that the lantern project was a big piece of fat, and many officials benefited a lot from it.

If it were the previous directors, rashly moving so many people's "cake" would definitely be strongly rebounded, and it might not be impossible to be embarrassed.

And his superior dared to do this because of his strong personal authority.

Xie You looked at Zhao Ming again and urged, "Director Zhao, please continue."

Zhao Ming said "Oh" and continued: "The Urban Construction Department also plans to hang colored ribbons on the eight main roads of the city…"

Before he finished speaking.

He was interrupted.

"Cut it off!"

Zhao Ming sighed in his heart.

Another source of wealth is gone!

Cheng Han glanced around and said calmly: "People's livelihood is the top priority, let's allocate this money to the minimum living security project."

Xie You immediately responded: "Yes!"

This time.

Everyone present understood why the Grand Administrator, who was not diligent in government affairs, suddenly decided to attend today's routine meeting.

Without a doubt.

His Excellency must be using this routine meeting to convey his administrative philosophy to all the officials in the city - people's livelihood is the top priority.

And with His Excellency's ruthlessness, anyone who dares to violate this philosophy will probably not end well.

"Dang! Dang!"

The bronze bell on the top of the building was suddenly rung.

"Buzz~"

This is the huge noise of civilians gathering in the square.

Even through the double-layer soundproof glass, it could still be heard clearly in the conference room.

This means that the morning "performance show" has begun.

The officials immediately noticed that the Grand Administrator took out a gray stone ring from his pocket and played with it casually.

This must be the Stone Demon Ring!

Is His Excellency going to start performing?

A group of officials present had all heard about the treasure bestowed by Xuan Ge, so they immediately guessed the name of this ring.

Cheng Han gestured: "Open the curtains."

At the same time.

He quietly activated the Wei Stone Remnant Seal, and invisible extraordinary power was projected towards the square.

"Shua!"

The curtains were immediately opened.

The officials turned their heads and looked over, and were immediately startled.

I saw a feather beast flapping its wings, like a big bird, flying back and forth in the square.

"Ang!"

A loud cry faintly came in.

This scene was a bit beyond everyone's comprehension.

The feather beast's body is so heavy, how can it fly?

Xie You blurted out the name of the feather beast: "Your Excellency, could this be Guagua?"

Cheng Han nodded with a smile: "Yes."

Previously, he implanted the "Spirit Wind Seal" into Guagua, which is a mark that can control the extraordinary power of the wind element. After so long of training, Guagua finally has the ability to fly freely.

"Dong! Dong!"

Dense hoofbeats rang out immediately afterwards.

The twelve stone horses suddenly came to life and began to gallop along the track.

The next moment.

An even more amazing scene appeared.

I saw a pair of stone wings quickly extending from the back of each stone horse.

They flapped their stone wings vigorously, and actually took off together, following the feather beast in a V-formation.

The atmosphere on the square exploded like a volcano.

The officials in the conference room also had incredible expressions on their faces.

Some people couldn't help but exclaim.

"My God!"

"Stone horses can fly too?!"

Cheng Han raised his hand, and the conference room became quiet in an instant.

His tone was as calm as ever: "Let's set the New Year celebration program as 'Flying Horse Around the City Parade'."

Miss Youwu cleverly flattered: "Your Excellency, the celebration you designed will definitely leave a deep impression in the hearts of the civilians in the city. There is really no need to make lanterns anymore."

The officials rushed to agree.

"That's right!"

"This is much better than lanterns!"

"I'm already tired of lanterns after so many years."

Zhao Ming's face twitched.

Damn it!

You were the ones who said "Anything can be less, but lanterns cannot be less" before, and now you are the ones who say "I'm already tired of them!"

Cheng Han smiled slightly and said again: "On New Year's Day, I plan to hold three flying horse parade activities, with the times set at 8:00 a.m., 12:00 noon, and 8:00 p.m. respectively.

"I also plan to have the flying horses fly around the city with colored ribbons hanging on them, and slogans of merchants can be written on the surface of each ribbon…"

Xie You immediately shouted: "The city's chamber of commerce can bid for the colored ribbons together, and the winner needs to pay a sponsorship fee and provide the colored ribbons for free."

Cheng Han said with a smile: "That's right! That's my idea."

A group of officials listened with admiration.

According to this method, the New Year celebration will not only not cost money, but will also make a lot of money.

Such a strong ability to make money is truly amazing.

Cheng Han looked at the female secretary and ordered: "You will be in charge of this matter."

Xie You responded respectfully.

In fact.

The purpose of the "Flying Horse Parade" is not only "New Year Celebration" and "Fundraising".

Cheng Han played such tricks, in fact, there are two other purposes.

It is also a more important purpose.

First, when Qinglin City takes action against "Mr. Big Fish", he is busy manipulating the flying horses to fly around the city.

This is an excellent way to divert attention.

Even the most imaginative person would never think that he is the real mastermind behind the scenes.

Second, to clearly show the town guard Xuanshi in this city what is called "the speed of progress of a genius's strength".

Compared with explosive growth in strength, this kind of gradual progress is easier for people to accept.

In this way.

On the day of the New Year celebration, when he successfully condenses the Soul Tempering Seal and officially advances to Xuanshi, no one will have any doubts.

The above is a win-win situation!

*

Qinglin City.

The black cat stared at a wooden board without blinking, and waved its paw gently.

A faint red light flashed out and hit the wooden board.

"Zi~"

With a burst of burning sound.

A puff of green smoke came out.

After it dissipated.

Rows of extremely clear characters appeared on the surface of the wooden board, each character was elegant and beautiful, like the handwriting of a calligraphy master.

This is the antique list.

The black cat tilted its head and looked at it a few times, and proudly meowed.

The master said that elegance will never go out of style!

This cat will always be elegant!

At the black cat's current level, it has already broken away from low-level tastes and began to pursue metaphysics such as art and style.

In short.

This is a cat with lofty ideals.

The black cat tilted its head and stared at the list, doing logical reasoning in its head:

"The master said that if you want to figure out the enemy's strategy, you must learn to think from another perspective.

"If this cat is the person in charge of the Mengsheng Society, if I want to set up a trap to lure 'Liu Lehui' into it, what is the best way to do it?"

Liu Lehui is the father of Qian Changyun's classmate Liu Wei.

The black cat immediately had an idea.

"That's right, this cat should take out a relatively rare antique and sell it to him at a low price on the grounds of urgently needing money.

"But this antique has been secretly tampered with, or it is simply a hidden extraordinary item.

"Well, it must be like this!"

The black cat naturally thought of the next question.

"Since it is an antique, the longer the history, the more precious it is. There are a total of forty-eight antiques on the list, one over 5,000 years old and six over 3,000 years old.

"So the bait released by the Mengsheng Society is mostly hidden in these antiques, so let's start investigating them first."

The black cat shook its tail proudly.

This cat is really a smart cat!

I figured out the idea so quickly!

It suddenly waved its paw.

"Hu!"

A strange gray flame ignited on the wooden board.

After a moment.

The wooden board disappeared.

There wasn't even a bit of ash.

This is the effect of the "Hao Flame", and it is also the terrifying power obtained by the True Flame Xuan Seal reaching the first level.

*

Half an hour later.

The black cat ran around several places and completed a detailed investigation of the first antique over 5,000 years old.

"The transaction time was eight years ago, and the seller 'Yi Fucai' is still alive. There is nothing deliberate about his identity and the transaction process."

The sheriff blinked his cat eyes: "It seems that it can be ruled out."

Subsequently.

The black cat's body flashed.

It disappeared into thin air.

This is the leap of glory.

After the True Flame Remnant Seal was promoted to the first level, the control of "light" rose to a higher level. The light can be completely restrained during the jump, and the concealment becomes stronger.

*

An hour later.

The black cat had a major discovery.

"This 'Prayer Fortune Spirit Plate' of 3,600 years was sold by the seller at a price 20% lower than the market price due to bankruptcy that year.

"Liu Lehui just picked up a bargain, which is very consistent.

"After this transaction, the seller switched to other businesses, but died of illness in the middle. Isn't this standard murder and silencing?"

The black cat keenly noticed the problem.

It unhesitatingly communicated the soul link and quickly reported the news to the master.

*

Anhua City.

Legislative Building.

In Cheng Han's spiritual sea, the Spirit Control Xuan Seal flashed.

A stream of information came out.

Among them was a drawing.

This is a sketch of the Prayer Fortune Spirit Plate.

Generally speaking, the transaction of rare antiques will not directly take out the real thing. The seller will often ask a painter to copy the corresponding drawing.

And this transaction has passed for eight years, but the black cat actually found a drawing.

This shows how capable it is.

Cheng Han only "glanced" at it, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

I saw a familiar pattern carved on the corner of the Prayer Fortune Spirit Plate: This is a strange pattern pieced together with flowers, nuts, and seeds.

It's this thing again!

When he accidentally obtained the "Void Key" from his next-door neighbor Zhang Tie's house, he saw this pattern in the deduction of this thing.

Qian Qingqing has an elder who studies ancient history named Lin Xuebin, who said that the pattern represents harvest or life.

The facts also proved this gentleman's point of view.

Later, he accidentally met Xie You, and this woman had a semi-hidden holy emblem tattooed on her chest, which also included this pattern.

This stunner led to the Life Priest and the Qisheng Society, the latter of which was determined to be related to the Lord of Dark Mysteries.

In order to get rid of the suppression of the Wanhua Shenrong, the Lord of Dark Mysteries, with the help of alien powerhouses, escaped with the vest of the "Serpent of Sin and Life".

Therefore, it can be determined that this is the Holy Emblem of Life.

And now.

This Prayer Fortune Spirit Plate is actually carved with the Holy Emblem of Life!

Cheng Han looked solemn: "It seems that this fish is bigger than I thought!"
