I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon Chapter 360 – Huge Impact

After thinking for a while, Zhang Hui came up with an idea.

With a smile, he replied, “Yes, I was lucky enough to buy a book from you with a friend last time…”

Naturally, Zhang Hui had thought about it. He had specially asked him if he had seen it before.

Could it be that he wanted to play a new game with him, or was he trying to hint at something?

However, the thought only floated up and was rejected by him.

It was not that there was no possibility.

But…

Honesty was the most important thing, especially in front of such an ancient god.

Was any meaningful lie, even a lie of a flattering or flattering nature, useful?

Once he thought it was 'lying'.

Or simply thought it was 'dishonest'.

Then, everything would be over.

Not to mention ancient times, even now, if it was proven in court that the evidence or testimony provided had traces of falsehood/forgery.

Then the judge might overturn all the evidence/testimony.

At the very least, he would have doubts about all the evidence/testimony.

And in front of this person, Zhang Hui understood that he actually only had one position: honesty or loyalty.

That's because he could not hide it.

The omniscient and omnipotent him, was there anything he did not know?

He knew everything.

Then why did he ask even though he knew?

This was a test, a test, and more likely a trap!

Zhang Hui quietly looked at the 'cat' lying in the counter.

The cat goddess from Egypt.

He was not afraid to use his greatest malice to speculate about this foreign god.

The Blackguard had already found out what had happened in Egypt.

The High Priest of the Cat Goddess had personally made a move and, with the blessing of divine power, killed the transcendent being behind the rebel army.

The Seven Great Wizards of the Voodoo cult had all died in battle!

They hadn't even run away!

So…

Would his pet, the Cat Goddess of Egypt, slander him?

This was something he had to think about.

Ever since he had discovered this ancient god, the Blackguard had always been worried and afraid.

In fact, he had received too many benefits from this place!

These benefits were so great that the generals of the blackguard, including people like Situ He and himself, had already tacitly agreed when they talked in private: if this could go on forever… that would be great!

Although the Blackguard had exhausted its mind because of him.

More than half of the Blackguard's think tanks, manpower, and resources had already been gathered to serve him.

But…

He had given too much!

Not to mention anything else, just that piece of spiritual language alone.

Had already benefited the transcendent being research institute of the Blackguard greatly!

In fact, he was trying to turn the 20 kilometer radius of the city into a 'Holy Land of learning'.

He had forcibly raised the scores of the students in this area by a large margin!

He had even come up with such a thing as the top scorer in science!

And these were all things that could raise the overall ability of a country.

The kind that would last for a long time.

Just these alone were enough to make most people lose their dignity and such boring things.

Moreover, there were even more benefits!

Zhang Hui turned his head and looked at the deep, dark, and silent abyss behind him.

Pairs of evil eye opened and closed one after another.

He recalled the contact between the Blackguard and the owner of this place.

From the beginning until now, the Blackguard had always been the one who got it.

Most of the things were half-sold and half-given.

They were even 'free'.

Just like the magic art he was currently studying.

On the surface, it seemed like he had mortgaged his soul.

But in reality?

He did not have many years left to live.

He was already on the verge of death.

But now, his injuries had recovered and he had taken a step further!

Even if his physical body died, it would be difficult for him to die.

Because he could change his body and continue to live.

Just like what the Isles had done before.

They could live for hundreds or thousands of years.

Until he didn't want to live anymore, he was tired of living!

Or if he provoked something that he couldn't provoke, he would be smashed into pieces with his soul and body.

But…

This actually couldn't happen.

Because most of his soul belonged to the owner of this bookstore.

Thinking of these things, Zhang Hui looked at the cat lying in the counter, and his gaze gradually changed.

Finally, he understood why the ministers in ancient times hated the foreign relatives who meddled in politics and eunuchs who manipulated power.

He also had to guard against that cat secretly doing some small tricks.

For example…

Instigating or persuading the owner of the bookstore to move to Egypt.

So that the benefits he brought would be enjoyed by Egypt?

Thinking of this, Zhang Hui's expression became even gloomier.

Because he remembered.

It seemed that the Egyptian kingdom also seemed to be interested in participating in the fellowship party next month.

Could this be the cat's instructions?

“If he really has such intentions!” Zhang Hui thought, “We must not let him succeed!”

Ling Ping'an kept recalling.

“Came to buy a book?” He thought seriously.

Unfortunately, his memory was not very strong.

If he did not have a deep impression of many things, he would usually forget them completely in two or three days.

Therefore, after thinking about it, he could not remember anything.

However, this customer did have a little impression of it.

“Forget it…” He shook his head and simply stopped thinking about it.

Anyway…

The Investigation Committee of the Federal Cabinet? He probably wouldn't have too many dealings with them.

That was because the predecessor of this organization was the brocade-clan guard of the previous dynasty.

Taizu founded the country and appointed civil officials to lead it.

Its duty was no longer to monitor and control officials, but to collect economic, price, and business information of the local area and report it to the imperial capital for the Cabinet's reference to formulate corresponding economic and business policies.

After Gao Zong became a department under the cabinet, he took on the responsibility of statistics and collecting all kinds of social data.

With the development of the times and technological progress, this department further took on the responsibility of providing the Datong Party and the Gonghe Party with reference data on population, fertility, economy, price, industry, finance, public security, and other aspects. It was claimed to be the Grand Scholar's ear.

Thinking about it, he probably came this time because the capital of those small communities had gone too far.

The Datong Party and the Gonghe Party noticed it at the same time.

So they sent people to collect first-hand data and conduct public opinion surveys at the same time.

Small townsfolk like him probably did not have many opportunities to interact with them in their lives.

Thus, Ling Ping'an said, “You are here to inquire and investigate about the development of a few small communities nearby?”

Zhang Hui listened and looked up at the ancient god opposite him. The fire in his eyes lit up even more.

Zhang Hui knew that as expected, he knew everything.

He no longer hid it and asked straightforwardly, “What do you think of the current policy?”

As he spoke, Zhang Hui took out his notebook and picked up a pen to take notes.

Ling Ping'an looked at it and immediately became serious.

It was every citizen's duty to help and assist the federal investigators to obtain first-hand, real and effective information!

During his first political lesson in junior high school, his teacher had already explained it to him clearly.

This was because it concerned everyone's vital interests.

Only by telling the true situation to the upper echelons, the meat eaters in the upper echelons, would they know the actual situation and make adjustments accordingly.

Thus, Ling Ping'an sorted out his words and said, “I'm basically satisfied with the current policy…”

“The regulatory authorities acted in a timely manner and stopped the wanton speculation of capital!”

“What was it like a few days ago…”

“The market is in a mess…”

“The neighbors are busy discussing the housing prices…”

The housing prices had skyrocketed a few days ago, and even Aunt Cai, who was next door, was not in the mood to do business.

Every day, she would either hold a cell phone and chat with people in the group chat about how much virtue her ancestors had accumulated, or she would be busy asking people how much the house price had risen today?

In the end, even the taste of the steamed dumplings was not so good.

In the past two days, things had finally returned to normal.

If Aunt Cai was like this, the other families could only imagine.

The neighbors were all concerned about the house price and discussing. How much money they had made lying down today.

Not many people worked hard, and not many people were serious about doing business.

It was also thanks to the country's decisive supervision. Otherwise, if they were really hyped up and the bubble burst, who knew how many families would be happy and how many would be worried.

Zhang Hui listened and carefully recorded while thinking in his heart.

He doesn't like his own territory. It's too noisy…

This was a judgment that the think tank had made a long time ago.

This ancient God's personality was arrogant and cold. He did things casually and without any taboos.

But there was one thing: He was not a lively person.

This could be seen from his movements.

He almost never went out.

Even if he went out, he would only walked around his own house.

So far, the furthest trip recorded was to his hometown of seven Li Pu in the suburbs.

The second furthest was pan garden.

Apart from that, he usually went out about once a week, sometimes two weeks.

The main purpose of going out was to buy necessary daily necessities.

Therefore, the blackguard could easily tell that this ancient god was quiet and did not like to move.

Of course, the real confirmation was still now.

Zhang Hui heard his affirmative answer with his own ears and said these words from his mouth.

Repeatedly, he looked at the contents recorded in the notebook.

Zhang Hui took the pen and began to mark.

“The regulatory department, acted in a timely manner…” he bolded this sentence.

There was no doubt.

Zhang Hui understood that this was actually a warning that was neither too big nor too small.

Similar warnings and reminders were often used by him to punish those below who made small mistakes or did things that went wrong.

The meaning was, “I understand what happened this time. It Won't happen again!”

Especially when he used the following words.

It was a mess…

What did it look like…

This basically confirmed Zhang Hui's guess.

He couldn't help but break out in cold sweat and rejoice.

“Fortunately, I came in time!” Zhang Hui thought, “If I had delayed it for a few more days… I'm afraid…”

If he was labeled as 'disrespecting me' in front of this ancient god, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Putting down the pen, Zhang Hui revealed a smile that he thought was the most humble. He tried his best to show his goodwill to express the Blackguard's sincerity.

“Sir, I wonder if you have any suggestions or opinions on the current situation?”

“Suggestions? Opinions?” The fire in the ancient God's eyes rose.

The entire bookstore seemed to shake because of this, and layers of cracks appeared like spider webs, shattering inch by inch.

Zhang Hui's forehead was instantly drenched in sweat.

This was because he understood that this ancient god was angry.

This almost made him want to immediately stand up and apologize.

At the same time, Zhang Hui also understood what he had done wrong?

He was wrong in thinking that he was right!

He was wrong in not knowing his place clearly!

What was his status?

What right did he have to think about the secular world?

He thought that he was respected, but he did not know that this was a big taboo!

The reason was very simple: the Blackguard had made a mistake first. Now, although they had made amends, they had called for an emergency stop.

But…

In the end, this matter had still caused him trouble, even trouble.

He had already given him a lot of face by being able to endure it.

How could the blackguard dare to come and seek his opinion at this time?

From his point of view, he would probably think that his actions were shirking responsibility!

There might even be a little suspicion that he was vying for merit and favor.

Especially considering that there might be a Cat Goddess beside him who was thinking of slander to get him to leave this place.

Once he seized the opportunity, he might make a huge mistake!

Just as Zhang Hui was thinking about how to clean up the mess, all the strange phenomena in the bookstore quickly calmed down.

The layers of cracks were as if they had never appeared.

The ancient God's meaningful words echoed in her ears.

“Suggestion?”

“If I were to say it…”

“It's not suitable to use the land in the eastern district for real estate speculation…”

“Why don't we bring in scientific research institutions…”

Ling Ping'an recalled the news not long ago.

The Imperial University of Technology seemed to be opening a branch research institute in the Industrial Park?

Although he didn't know much about national affairs and macroeconomics.

But his education also told him that.

There was no way out for real estate.

It was just a digital game.

What could really promote change and economic development was still relying on technology.

And technology was driven by scientific research.

If Jiangcheng City could take advantage of the current craze and take advantage of the so-called rumors to spread, they would really introduce the laboratory of a famous university to Jiangcheng City.

In the short term, there might not be any income, nor would it increase employment.

But in the long term…

Once Jiangcheng city was crowned with the title of “Smart City”.

All kinds of technology companies and related institutions moved in.

The urban economy skyrocketed, employment continued to rise, and various indexes could also rise.

Therefore, the people who benefited were not only capital.

The general public will also benefit.

This is the Gonghe Party's famous economic theory: trickle-down effect.

Proposed by the Gonghe Party's most famous Grand Master, Huang Wendao, it was also called the Wendao effect.

The basic concept was to support and develop a high-end industry in a city or a region.

Then, the whole industry will be like a trickle and benefit everyone from the top to the bottom.

Based on this idea, the Gonghe Party has long called for tax cuts, especially on technology companies and physical industries.

As the Grand Master said: The economy is comparable to the employment. The root of all the world's problems were problems concerning the economy and and education!
