On Penglai Island, there are very strict traffic controls.
All monks are not allowed to fly in the air at will.
If you need to travel, you can choose to take the airbus or walk to avoid traffic accidents.
After all, more than 80% of the world's Qi Refining monks have settled here.
Tens of thousands of monks were flying through the air at speeds exceeding the speed of sound. If they were not careful, a tragic traffic accident would result.
It was not that the monks would be killed, but that they would damage the buildings on the island.
Therefore, according to the Penglai City Traffic Management Regulations recently promulgated by the Penglai City Management Committee, Qi Refining Monks are not allowed to fly within Penglai Island.
Of course, there are rules and exceptions in this world.
For example, the Extraordinary Association Committee, which is above the Penglai City Management Committee, is not subject to these regulations.
They can fly however they want, no one dares to control them.
In a quiet and elegant courtyard.
Li Zhouji was watering the courtyard with a kettle. The plant he was irrigating was the Bloodweed.
"Brother Li is so elegant!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Li Zhouji raised his head helplessly.
"What are you here for?"
Hearing this tone, Li Zhouji and the visitor didn't want to deal with it.
Zhou Tao didn't care about Li Zhouji's attitude, he walked over carelessly, sat down on the wooden chair, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea, and drank it happily.
"If you fart quickly, I don't have time to talk to you!"
Li Zhouji felt angry when he saw Zhou Tao looking familiar.
Speaking of which, the two of them were among the first batch of players in the prehistoric era.
Although the two had conflicts in their early days over competing for cultivation resources, after practicing together in the Danxia Sect for decades, those conflicts had long since disappeared.
"I heard that you were killed by people from Wuliang Mountain?"
Hearing this, Li Zhouji stopped watering the water and said expressionlessly: "If you are here to gloat, you can leave now."
"Don't, don't, don't, are you just kidding, are you really angry?"
Zhou Tao walked over with a smile and put his arms around Li Zhouji's neck.
"Go away, I don't know you that well!"
Li Zhouji pushed Zhou Tao away and patted his clothes in disgust.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"Our investigation team would like to invite you..."
"Invite me?" Li Zhouji smiled half-heartedly.
"Of course, the main thing is to invite the person behind you." Zhou Tao spread his hands.
"Zhou Tao." Li Zhouji's smile slowly faded, "For such a long time, I haven't been able to figure out which side you are on."
“What’s on whose side?”
"Stop pretending to be confused!"
Li Zhouji sighed, "Don't you think your position in the investigation team is awkward?
I know that when you joined the investigation team, you only went there for their resources, but it turns out that they provided you with very few resources, so why do you still stay there?
The most important thing is, from beginning to end, did the investigation team trust you?"
Who knows, after hearing this, Zhou Tao's face smiled without changing at all.
Time goes back to before Zhou Tao left.
Imperial Capital.
Investigation team headquarters.
Tang Hua, who had just attended the Allied Powers meeting, got off the plane and immediately went to work.
Boom, boom, boom.
Tang Hua raised his head when he heard the knock on the office door.
"Come in."
Seeing the person coming, Tang Hua put down the documents in his hands and said with a smile: "You came just in time. I have something for you to do."
"No need."
Hearing this slightly cold voice, Tang Hua was surprised and said: "What's wrong?"
"I'm here to resign to you. This is my resignation report."
With that said, Zhou Tao handed the resignation report in his hand to Tang Hua's desk.
Tang Hua looked at him quietly, and Zhou Tao seemed like he couldn't stand this kind of gaze.
"It's nothing, I'll leave first."
"You know what?"
Zhou Tao stopped.
"When Penglai Island was expanded, I thought you would resign, but you didn't."
"What do you mean?" Zhou Tao turned around.
"Yes, we lied to you!" Tang Hua sighed, "When Honghuang appeared, we did not have more information than you old players, and our resources were even less. When we promised you the resources, we were indeed lying to you."
"Do you think I resigned because of resources?"
Zhou Tao suddenly laughed.
"The investigation team currently has 316 Qi Refining Stage monks and one Concentration Stage monk, but among these monks, zero hold important positions in the investigation team."
"What do you think we are? Knives?"
Zhou Tao approached Tang Hua step by step, "Have you ever trusted us?"
Hearing this, Tang Hua fell silent.
"As for the resources you mentioned, I don't care for a long time. I just don't like to be used by others," Zhou Tao paused, "No one likes to be used!"
"Feel sorry!"
"It's nothing. Everything has passed. I am a member of the Extraordinary Association. It's quite difficult to be caught between the two. It's okay to be like this now."
"I apologize to you because before this, the organization did treat extraordinary people unfairly due to various concerns. You have made more contributions and received less rewards. Anyone else would be dissatisfied."
"Especially to you," Tang Hua looked at Zhou Tao, "we deceived you back then."
Zhou Tao pouted.
Although Zhou Tao is not very old in reality, he has spent decades in the wilderness and is no longer the young boy he was before.
"But I don't agree with one thing you said."
"Oh?" Zhou Tao raised his eyebrows.
"You said we don't trust you, but what I want to say is that I have always trusted you."
With that said, Tang Hua pulled out a paper file from the drawer, with the Organization Department's stamp on it.
"This is the document in which I nominate you as the leader of the investigation team. It has been officially approved by the Organization Department. Zhou Tao, from today on, you are the new leader of the investigation team!"
"In the past, the organization's worry was not that it didn't trust you, but that our today was hard-won and we didn't dare to take any risks. I hope you can understand!"
After speaking, Tang Hua stood up and bowed to Zhou Tao.
...
Penglai Island.
Li Zhouji was stunned after hearing what Zhou Tao said.
"You mean, you are now the leader of the investigation team?"
"What, does it mean that I am in a bad position as the leader of the investigation team?"
"Do they really trust us monks?" Li Zhouji said in a deep voice.
"I don't know whether you believe it or not," Zhou Tao shook his head, "I only know that they are at least willing to try to truly accept us."
"Then in what capacity are you looking for me this time? Leader of the investigation team, or member of the Paranormal Association?"
"Of course, the leader of the investigation team," Zhou Tao coughed lightly, "We want to cooperate with you."
"What do you mean?"
“Governments!”
"What cooperation?"
"A pilot project that allows an ordinary person to become a monk in reality."
After hearing this, Li Zhouji frowned: "In what form, can we learn from the sect's model in the prehistoric times?"
"No, in the form of a university! I've already thought of a name, it's called Penglaixian Academy!"
