The charm spell itself isn’t anything special.

It’s essentially just a Third Tier Spiritual Professional skill.

But the concept of Innate Charm is completely different from the charm spell.

One is an innate skill, while the other is an inheritance skill. The latter has an upper limit, but the former can be constantly enhanced and upgraded with levels.

The permanent charm effect of Innate Charm is also unique.

Of course, this ability is not without its limits.

Firstly.

Innate Charm, like the charm spell.

When used on targets higher in level than oneself, or on those with lower level but high Will Attributes, the success rate becomes very low.

Secondly, to increase the success rate of charm, it’s best to use it when the target is in a near-death or weakened state, as in these states, the target’s Will Attribute drops significantly, making charm more likely to succeed.

This means.

Su Yunbing can’t possibly succeed using this skill against Xu Tianhua!

Xu Tianhua is at the same level as her, or even stronger, making the charm less effective.

Moreover, each time a target is controlled, the charm effect on others weakens, so the number of permanently charmed individuals is limited. Su Yunbing can’t use this skill to build a brainwashed army.

At least.

Not with her current power!

Hang Yu said to Old Xu, "Hu Jian’s lead is yours to handle. Assign someone to follow up, and if anything new comes up, contact us immediately."

Xu Tianhua nodded, "That’s the best plan. Thanks to your help, this case is hard to progress otherwise."

Hang Yu laughed, "We’re all on the same side. No need to be overly polite."

Xu Tianhua hesitated a little, "There’s something else I need your help with."

Hang Yu asked, "What’s that?"

Xu Tianhua said, "As you know, I’m appointed director of Jiang City’s Spirit Realm Military Intelligence Bureau, but the department is just newly established and quite understaffed. I’m planning to recruit the first batch of members from the Celestial Net."

Hang Yu asked, "What do you need me to do?"

Xu Tianhua explained, "I’ll draft a roster and send it to you. From this roster, select members for the Military Intelligence Bureau. Help me screen and select them."

Hang Yu was surprised, "You want me to advise on the Spirit Realm Military Intelligence Bureau’s selection? That’s a big deal. Is my identity even suitable for this task?"

He had heard from Old Xu.

Spirit Realm Military Intelligence Bureaus will be established nationwide.

Unlike the larger and more staffed Celestial Net, the Spirit Realm Military Intelligence Bureau is a smaller, elite unit mainly responsible for surveillance, investigation, and intelligence gathering, tasked with identifying potential urban threats.

It’s an intelligence agency or a special operations organization.

The team doesn’t need to be large.

But each member must be elite.

Selection for such an agency is very important. It could have a profound effect on Jiang City’s future, and Celestial Net members’ information is highly confidential, which poses a risk of leaks if handled carelessly.

Xu Tianhua said, "You are a special advisor to Jiang City’s Celestial Net. Giving you the members’ data does not breach discipline, as long as it’s confidential. You have more experience and knowledge in the Spirit Realm, so this matter needs your assistance."

Hang Yu said, "Okay, it’s not a big hassle. I won’t refuse to help with this, and since the construction of Jiang City’s Spirit Realm Military Intelligence Bureau is highly significant, I won’t neglect the bigger picture either."

Xu Tianhua’s eyes gleamed with joy, "Then it’s settled. I’ll go back and organize a liaison team to specifically follow up on Hu Jian’s lead."

He didn’t linger.

He immediately went to arrange the work.

Hu Jian’s lead is indeed very important.

No one knows what the Secret Witch Hermit Association is up to.

But it’s certainly nothing good!

This is the first case Xu Tianhua handled after arriving in Jiang City.

The Spirit Realm Military Intelligence Bureau of Jiang City needs a solid start.

So it has to be done thoroughly and exquisitely!

After Hang Yu got home, he asked, "How are my goods selling?"

Su Yunbing replied, "I’ve distributed them through the Spirit Relief Association’s channels. Given the quality and all aspects, I think they will be fully sold in two days and at least exchange for over ten thousand White Crystals."

We’re short on money now.

Hang Yu sold a portion of the equipment and Skill Stones collected from monster hunting directly to Spirit Realm merchant Old Bear, and gave the rest to Su Yunbing.

Selling internally first, and if not absorbed internally, using connections and channels for external sales.

Deserted Valley Town urgently needs investment.

And the amount needed is immense!

Each soldier recruited is costly.

A thousand soldiers alone consume tens of thousands in White Crystals!

The consumption of White Crystal Stones only accounts for a small portion of the recruitment cost.

There is a huge gap in materials like Cold Iron, Fire Copper, Black Iron Wood, and Mithril.

Additionally, a significant investment is needed in Soul Crystals and Inheritance Crystals.

Hang Yu planned.

Turn the assets in hand into fast money.

This money could be a quick fix to pressing needs. In the next few days, with his lordship advantages and intelligence advantages, he should be able to earn enough Crystals and resources to cover most expenses.

Additionally, he could entrust Old Zhao, Old Xu, and Su Yunbing—three key subordinates.

They all have extensive networks. Raising a quick fund is not difficult.

The Cyan Dragon Group’s industry income is steadily increasing.

With this money tree growing frantically, even if there is economic pressure in the short term, it poses no long-term worry.

Now, it’s becoming increasingly clear that building a Fishman production base is vital, as it’s a significant resource supply channel. Resources like Black Iron Wood, Mithril, Refined Gold, which have limited reserves in the city, can be obtained externally, saving Hang Yu’s territory significant costs.

As for the work on Sharu’s side.

Hang Yu had Su Yunbing personally oversee it.

He also realized that the deployment on the Fishman’s side might need a new strategic partner, because Sharu gathered a bunch of Fishmen and set up a factory less than thirty miles from Jiang City.

How could that possibly go unnoticed?

Being discovered or exposed is only a matter of time.

Hang Yu thought about bringing in a partner with an official background, such as Xu Tianhua, who is already serving as the head of Jiang City’s Spirit Realm Military Intelligence Bureau. This move could prevent many problems.

Of course.

No hurry for now.

Hang Yu entered Deserted Valley Town.

First, he toured his territory, and then listened to Old Zhao’s report.

Zhao Ming said, "Deserted Valley Town is getting busier. The local population has reached about a thousand people. In the future months or even longer, it will continue to grow. Our location is excellent, and this town will surely prosper in the future!"

Hang Yu nodded and said, "Indeed, unless something unexpected happens, each province in the Earth Dragon Realm will have an average population of over one hundred thousand. Our Desert Province will surely have the largest population."

The reason is simple.

The Desert Province is already famous.

Those ambitious and organized teams entering the Earth Dragon Realm may avoid competing with Hang Yu’s formidable group by choosing other provinces instead of the Desert Province.

However.

For most ordinary people and forces.

If they have the chance to enter the Earth Dragon Realm, they will choose the Desert Province because its situation is clear, and humans already have stable territories, making it their choice for development.

The population here.

Will only keep increasing!

The significance of Deserted Valley Town is becoming apparent!

This territory is the closest to the landing point of humans in Deserted Valley Town, so they will inevitably stay and develop in Deserted Valley Town. Prosperity is just a matter of time.

The Azure Dragon has all the geographical advantages.

Whether it’s for land tax collection or recruitment, it has the upper hand due to its proximity. Therefore, Deserted Valley Town is very important, and even if there are more territories or better ones later.

Deserted Valley Town can’t be abandoned!

This territory must be well-governed!

Hang Yu plans to renovate and upgrade Deserted Valley Town’s walls and buildings thoroughly when he has more resources, and then customize Spirit Realm flags to fill the town with the Azure Dragon’s emblem, attracting fresh blood for the Azure Dragon from this town.

Why worry about not finding enough people in the future?

Zhao Ming also reported another message, "Also, there’s another thing. Someone reported hearing terrifying monster howls in a southwestern valley, suspecting a BOSS-level monster has revived."

"Really? What exact location? What does the sound like?"

Zhao Ming pointed at the map, "Here it is. The monster’s howling is like a beast’s. The valley is filled with poisonous mist, and entering it instantly poisons you. According to descriptions, the monsters inside are all elites above level 11, and no one dares to enter."

Lion Scorpion Beast Valley?

That makes sense!

Deserted Valley Town is surrounded by a dozen large valleys, and each one is a hunting ground. Each hunting area can be further divided because of the numerous hidden canyons and caves in the area.

All in all.

The monsters around Deserted Valley Town are relatively abundant.

In total, there are thirty-five types of monsters living in groups.

These monsters range from level 8 to 12, and each hunting area spawns at least one Lord Monster.

The Lord’s spawn rate is slow.

At least once a month.

Hence it’s a precious resource!

Lion Scorpion Beasts are generally around levels 11 to 12, which makes them formidable monsters for humans at this stage, especially their lord.

Hang Yu said, "Go get Jiang Nan, we’ll gather a group and clear the Lion Scorpion Beast Valley today. We can’t let such top resources go to outsiders."
