Chapter 69 The Undercurrent

Zhuge Yun, the leader of the Divine Machine, had been Chen Luo's most loyal follower ever since Chen Luo saved the imperial capital.

However, while the various leaders of the Divine Machine were shocked by Chen Luo's power and grateful for his righteous act of saving the imperial capital, they still harbored a degree of resistance in their hearts towards Chen Luo taking control of everyone's destiny the moment he arrived.

Chen Luo's youthful appearance naturally evoked goodwill in anyone who saw him.

Yet, precisely because he was just a youth, it was difficult for a group of people who could be his uncles or grandfathers to accept being put in a subordinate position to him.

But as they savored the unprecedented delicacies they were eating, and gazed at the magical spirits beside them who could traverse space at will to deliver all sorts of food,

Everyone was completely won over by Chen Luo.

Following this, the next major issue for a city with a population in the tens of millions was management. xxs壹贰

Once people became numerous and dispersed throughout the city, the probability of conflict and even crime would increase dramatically.

Although Chen Luo could cover the entire city with his consciousness and even observe the actions of every person at every moment,

Chen Luo also had other matters to attend to and could not focus on them all the time.

Moreover, the daily task assignments for the legion members, the dispatch of supplies within the city, and the arrangements for the logistics personnel were all unimaginably complex tasks.

Chen Luo's brain, which was comparable to a supercomputer at this time, could naturally handle them one by one.

However, Chen Luo's personality found no enthusiasm for these matters at all.

Fortunately, at this moment, Zhuge Yun perceived Chen Luo's reluctance and volunteered, taking on this troublesome task.

Sensing that Zhuge Yun truly wished to help him and repay his kindness,

Chen Luo was happy to be a hands-off manager and appointed Zhuge Yun as the Chief Administrator.

Then, this handsome middle-aged man, along with a group of Divine Machine department uncles with deep dark circles under their eyes,

Took on the task of handling the massive and complex daily affairs for nearly thirty million people across two cities.

However, in the very beginning, Chen Luo first helped these administrators level up significantly before he felt at ease letting them work 007.

Otherwise, if their attributes were too low, Chen Luo genuinely feared they would overwork themselves to death.

...

Lost in thought, Chen Luo had already quietly flown into Starfire City.

Currently, on the streets of Starfire City, people, under the arrangement of the administrators, were either engaged in production tasks or assisting with various logistical matters.

Although Chen Luo could continuously produce food, both the administrators and Chen Luo understood that

Over-reliance on any single person was detrimental to the development of an entire civilization.

Chen Luo could use his power to help Great Flame overcome difficulties, but he also had to allow the people of Great Flame to maintain their spirit of self-reliance.

It was like poverty alleviation; Great Flame prioritized uplifting the spirit, fostering a spirit of unyielding self-improvement.

This approach was completely different from the underlying mindset of Westerners.

Therefore, in addition to Chen Luo's skills, the citizens within both cities were also striving for their own food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

For example, the hunting team that previously killed the giant deer was doing so not only to eliminate threatening forces near the city

But also to hunt for useful prey.

The giant deer's flesh and blood could serve as food for humans, while its hide and antlers could become production resources for humans.

The humans of Great Flame were not parasites under Chen Luo's command; they possessed the pride inherent to their civilization.

If the enemy was too powerful to resist, they would have the resolve to shatter rather than bend.

If the enemy was to arrive only in the future, then the people of Great Flame would hone their claws, forge their swords in secret, solely to avenge their humiliation.

Therefore, within Starfire City at this moment, rotating combat personnel, after their patrols, would proactively go to the functional areas.

They continuously trained their skills and simultaneously awaited recall by Chen Luo into the Nether Moon.

As for the logistics personnel, after completing their daily tasks, they would also hone their production skills.

They would even proactively go to the functional areas to train their physique and skills, hoping to be incorporated into the combat sequence in the future.

Under such an atmosphere, Great Flame after the apocalypse showed no signs of decadence or ruin.

Although the cities were destroyed by monsters, they had retained their people and lost their land, thus gaining both.

The people of Great Flame had endured numerous hardships, and what did not defeat them would only make them stronger.

Chen Luo walked through the city streets, observing the bustling city, feeling a spirit of upward momentum, a spark of hope.

Every time he returned and saw the light flickering in people's eyes, Chen Luo felt that his actions were meaningful.

Chen Luo's body, under the stealth skill of a rogue class, became faintly visible.

The SS-class stealth skill was so powerful that one could enter a women's bathhouse for a transparent escapade without being discovered.

However, as Chen Luo walked past Starfire Plaza, a small hand reached out from behind and tugged at his clothes.

Chen Luo turned back helplessly and saw, as expected, a round and plump stove spirit, looking at him happily.

Seeing Chen Luo look down at it, this peculiar visitor from the origin of food let out a happy "wu wu" sound,

Poof!

A puff of smoke flashed by its small, stubby hand,

And in the next moment, a plate of golden shrimp balls appeared in its hand.
