Mike looked at the treasure the Guardian was pointing at and said with a smile, “The Otherworld Purple Stone, 5,000 points. Lord Guardian, do you really think that someone can gather these 5,000 points? Moreover, if someone can really gather these 5,000 points, then we can just give this thing to them. A powerhouse who can obtain 5,000 points is more valuable than this section of purple quartz, don’t you think?”

The Guardian’s mouth was half-open. He did not know whether to close it or continue to open it. He looked at Mike and could not find any reason to refute.

Mike asked, “Do you think the wise Ruler will agree?”

The Guardian frowned, but then it relaxed.

“The Ruler is wise. I think he will definitely agree.”

Mike nodded and said, “Okay, I also think the Ruler will definitely agree. How about this, Lord Guardian, you and I will write a letter together and I will present it to the Ruler in person. How about it?”

When the Guardian heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, “Lord Mike, do you think I still have a reason to refuse?”

Mike laughed loudly and said, “Thank you, Lord.”

The Guardian smiled bitterly and signed the letter. He watched helplessly as Mike wrote this seemingly strange idea.

Mike cupped his fists towards the Guardian and said, “Then, Lord Guardian, I’ll go first. The front line will depend on you.”

The Guardian nodded.

Mike did not stay any longer and began to fly towards Central Plains City.

Mike urged his speed to the maximum. He did not intend to go directly to Central Plains City. Instead, he planned to go to Little Jerry’s current location first.

He had to think about the worst-case scenario. If the Ruler was prepared to make a move, he had to at least let little Jerry live.

Soon, Mike saw the entire Dragon Castle. Just as he was about to go over, his spiritual power swept across the several strong auras that were trapped in the Dragon Castle.

Mike frowned slightly. He understood that he might not be able to go over for the time being.

Mike released Eve and said to him, “We might not be able to go over for the time being. I’ll leave you here. If anything happens, you can take care of Little Jerry and the others. Also, you can look for the Frost Giant and the Snow Fox. With little Jerry’s personality, he will definitely not let them stay in the main force.”

Eve nodded and said worriedly, “You should be careful too.”

Mike nodded and turned to leave.

Eve followed beside the Dragon Castle. Suddenly, a giant black stone hand reached out from the ground and grabbed Eve.

“You guys aren’t in the main force after all.”

The Snow Fox looked at Eve and said, “The two leaders of your family are really interesting. They like to hold back, can’t they just use all their power? The Ruler is wary of us, and he won’t be like this, spying on us.”

Eve said, “If we hide in the dark, it will only make him even warier. Don’t forget, that is the lord of the Otherworld, how could he not know of our existence?”

Snow Fox nodded and said, “This is my oversight.”

Mike came to the imperial palace and handed the proposal he wrote to the Ruler.

When the Ruler saw the proposal, he could not help but admit that it was a brilliant plan. He pulled a long face and asked, “Mike, let me ask you. If you do this, then who will pay for the items that are exchanged with points?”

Mike did not reply. He just looked at the Ruler and smiled without saying a word.

The Ruler looked at Mike and frowned slightly. He asked, “Mike, you need me to pay for your own decisions. How dare you!”

Mike looked at the Ruler and said, “Your Majesty, the Otherworld is your territory, and those divine-tier experts are your subjects. Now that your subjects are going to defend your territory, isn’t it only right for you to pay a little money? I made this matter on my own. However, this isn’t paying for me. Instead, I’m using your money to settle your matters.”

The Ruler looked at Mike. He actually felt that what Mike had said was somewhat irrefutable.

Mike looked at the Ruler and asked, “Your Majesty is the hero of all ages. I believe that you’ve long understood this principle. It’s just a test.”

The Ruler looked at Mike and sighed, saying, “Forget it, forget it. You do it. I tell you, it’s best if no one exchanges for those five-star items.”

Mike nodded and said in a low voice, “I still want to talk to the treasurer. At least, he has to set aside these five-star rewards.”

The Ruler suppressed his anger and said to Mike, “Then you can go.”

Mike nodded.

In fact, Mike did not tell anyone. There was another possibility. Someone could exchange five-star items for other people’s points, then, he could use his points to exchange for those five-star items.

Mike walked to the Treasury with a smile and asked the treasurer for advice.

Half a day later, a shocking high-level announcement was posted.

“Thieves have invaded the Otherworld. In order to ensure the safety of the Otherworld, a reward system is hereby introduced. Please see the details below…”

Mike was very satisfied with the announcement that he had written, although some people said that its format was wrong.

When the announcement was sent out, Mike had already returned to the front line. As soon as Mike returned, everyone immediately came to him and asked, “Sir, is the notice true?”

“That’s right, can we participate?”

“Everyone, be quiet!” Mike looked at everyone and said, “I’ve returned this time to set up a duty system. The so-called duty system is to be responsible for guarding the city within the stipulated time. During the rest of the time, you’re free to go wherever you want as long as you don’t join the enemy. You can also choose to kill the undead in exchange for points. Of course, the previous kills don’t count.”

As soon as Mike finished speaking, the crowd cheered for a long time.

The Guardian looked at the crowded drill ground and sighed. He walked back to the hall and said to Mike, “Lord Mike, I think you can stop recruiting new people. There are more and more people now. If this continues, spies will sneak in. At that time, our arrangement will be very troublesome.”

Mike looked at the Guardian, shook his head, and said, “Lord Guardian, you don’t know this. Do you think there are no Dark Magi spies now? I think the first one to come is a Dark Magi spy. Don’t underestimate the enemy’s understanding of us. Every step we take now is actually exposed to the enemy’s vision.”

Hearing this, the Guardian frowned and asked, “Then can’t we reverse-infiltrate them?”

Mike looked at the Guardian and said, “Although there are some things that shouldn’t be said, I still want to say one more thing. With the Imperial Palace’s influence in the Otherworld, it’s impossible for them not to notice the infiltration of the Otherworld at all. To be able to develop to such a stage, either the underlings have said it, but no one paid attention to it, or someone…”
