I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 403: Chapter 302: North County Forum

After Meng Xiaobei’s death, everything returned to tranquility.

The death of a minor character is often like this, without causing any significant ripple, with their appearance and disappearance going unnoticed by anyone.

This is usually the case.

But obviously, Great Xia had no intention of handling it like it usually would.

Under Bob’s relentless day-and-night development, a week later, a large online forum covering the entire North County was born.

On this forum, one can share anything they want to share, allowing more people to see, hear, and feel it.

This was also what Han Zhan and Lin Jingxuan came up with as the best way to deal with the rot breeding in the shadows.

It was Meng Xiaobei’s death that inspired them.

Who says ordinary people, who says minor characters, lack meaning and value in their existence?

On the other hand, the establishment of the North County forum can provide all the people of North County with an official ”gossip” platform, making information more easily transmitted to every household.

Currently, the post pinned at the top of the North County forum is related to Meng Xiaobei.

”Tribute: The Civilian Hero of Great Xia, Meng Xiaobei!”

The click rate and popularity of this post are continually soaring.

In the post, the last words spoken by Meng Xiaobei shocked many people.

In the comment section below, the top-liked comment is from Han Zhan:

”Meng Xiaobei is a hero; every Great Xia person who steadfastly strives and works hard for their belief is a hero!”

Tearing his gaze away from the North County forum for a moment, Han Zhan stood up from his seat, looked out the window, and let out a breath of stale air.

Hopefully, the emergence of the North County forum can awaken those complacently numb Great Xia people, making them live earnestly and diligently.

Over the following days.

The heat of the North County forum continued to rise, with more and more Great Xia people opening accounts and joining.

Currently, the most discussed topics on the forum, apart from Meng Xiaobei’s, involve several other matters.

”Zhan Ning and Yu Lian, leading the Knight Order, established the North County Sheriff, responsible for patrolling and rectifying all anomalies within North County. Any abnormal discoveries can be reported under their official forum account first.”

Zhan Ning and Yu Lian, along with their Knight Order, form a formidable team not to be underestimated.

Appointing them as sheriffs was a decision made after careful consideration by Han Zhan and others.

With their martial support and the increasing number of Great Xia people actively exposing wrongdoings, the breeding filth within North County is bound to diminish significantly.

”Eater Fan Chaohui’s restaurant opened at Julu Pass is booming, with plans to open branches in multiple cities, garnering much praise and support from the public.”

Fan Chaohui finally gained widespread recognition.

Compared to fighting, his interest in culinary arts is much greater.

Additionally, for him, enhancing his prowess through intense cooking is also a great way.

Thus, under the advice of many long-time patrons, Fan Chaohui made up his mind to open branches and share more of his innovative culinary creations.

”Artifact Refining Master Dong Dachui’s equipment shop has officially opened, offering a large variety of tools of different ranks for purchase.”

”Brewer Chen Zui’s North County brewery is thriving, with incidents of a supply shortage. Chen Zui’s liquor has become a top choice for gifts during holidays, and he even registered a private brand for his liquor, ’Moutai’.”

The circumstances of Dong Dachui and Chen Zui were not too surprising.

They already possessed means to make a living, and their craftsmanship stood out amongst peers.

Opening a store was the quickest way to integrate into North County, allowing more and more native residents to accept their presence.

...

Today, Han Zhan was startled awake by the scream of Li Lingzhen.

Only to see her hurry into Han Zhan’s room, crashing into him with a heavy thud, pressing onto Han Zhan’s sleep-ridden face.

”Ah Zhan, please help me!”

”Help? With what.” Han Zhan was a bit bemused by the shout.

Then, Li Lingzhen opened a virtual interface, with a window popping up displaying the three bold red characters ”Account Banned.”

”My North County forum account has been permanently banned!”

”Hurry and help me contact Bob to lift the ban!”

Not fully awake yet, Han Zhan suddenly became alert.

He looked at Li Lingzhen, puzzled, ”Bob wouldn’t permanently block an account without reason, you wouldn’t have...”

”I just found a sales platform for those forbidden books of mine!”

Hearing this, Han Zhan suddenly leaned back tactically.

You really deserved the ban.

Li Lingzhen retorted angrily, hands on her hips, ”I’ve rendered significant meritorious service to Great Xia, and I don’t even have this bit of privilege!”

Her words were overheard by Xia Youwei, who had just entered, and she couldn’t help but hold her forehead.

”Lingzhen, please calm down.”

”Initially, it was just your account being banned, but then you used our identity information to register a new account.”

”Now look, it resulted in our IP address being blocked, and no one can access the forum.”

What?!

Han Zhan was taken aback.

He quickly opened the forum himself, and sure enough, saw the same pop-up window on Li Lingzhen’s virtual screen.

”Lingzhen, you’ve really outdone yourself!”

Han Zhan immediately contacted Bob, who said he was currently busy researching Spiritual Power transition methods and Energy Bricks casting issues and needed a while.

He had no choice but to give up temporarily.

Temporarily unable to browse the North County forum felt like losing electronic pickles, a bit bland.

Shang Siteng and Gongyang Jin were busy, while Xia Youwei also continued to temper her ability to control the army at the training ground.

Li Lingzhen was still lamenting her account being banned, so Han Zhan could only drag Nuannuan, who liked to binge-watch dramas, for a forced chat.

Due to being at home, Nuannuan, like Li Lingzhen, wore a large shirt of Han Zhan’s that barely covered part of her lower body.

Her two long, slender, and fair legs were crossed on the sofa, prompting Han Zhan to glance a few more times.

”Ahem.” Han Zhan collected his thoughts and asked, ”Any news from Second Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Brother?”

”No.” Nuannuan shook her head.

Since the incident with Meng Xiaobei, Fourth Senior Brother Ye Qiu had entered the Slaughter Origin ”instance” at the plaza and had not come out yet.

Second Senior Brother Lin Jingxuan, because of the Black Hood, was not satisfied with the current functions of the Heaven and Earth Array and voluntarily secluded himself to comprehend more of the mysteries contained in the River Map and Luo Book.

”Is there no life-threatening danger in the Slaughter Origin?”

”With the suppression of the River Map and Luo Book’s existence, its danger should be reduced. But complete safety cannot be guaranteed.”

After all, it is an Origin, and during the process of selecting inheritors, the risks can be greatly reduced, which is already a major concession.

Next, it depends on whether Ye Qiu can pass the ultimate test of the Slaughter Battlefield through it.

”Once integrated with the Origin, Fourth Senior Brother would be considered having partially restored his Realm, and given time, can re-enter high-level combat power, meeting Meng Xiaobei’s dying wish.”

”The only question is, how long will this take.”

Han Zhan said this with hope in his eyes.

”I hope he can succeed.”
