"The Hebo Office in Pingyang County is newly established, but before the other Hebo Offices are established, we only lack a proper local office. Everything else is exactly the same, and the rules and regulations will not change. But don't worry, the Hebo Office is not strict. After all, we are not under the jurisdiction of the state government, but obey the Hebo General Office. There are not many mandatory duties, and the main task is to receive targeted tasks. For example, you, the Hebo, have jurisdiction over Yixing Town and several surrounding cities. Your job is to patrol the nearby waters to ensure that there are no water beasts making trouble within the jurisdiction, and the number of casualties after a disaster cannot exceed a certain number. Otherwise, you will be subject to the review of the three judicial departments to investigate whether you have committed dereliction of duty. The judgment method is mainly based on the scope of the water area, depth, strength of the monsters and the number of casualties. If it is a small monster, still in the shallow water area, and the number of casualties exceeds ten, it is a dereliction of duty. At the least, you will be whipped, and at the worst, you will be demoted and exiled, or even lose your head." Ran Zhongshi gave a special warning. It is true that Xu Yuelong has a relationship with Liang Qu, but for now, this relationship is not to the point where he can cover up Liang Qu at will, not to mention that there is a higher-ranking Wei Lin next to him, who will never miss the opportunity to make a fuss about Xu Yuelong's mistakes. Liang Qu nodded. He is not a person who is easily carried away by success. He knows what he should and should not do, but he has another question. "If there are no water beasts, wouldn't it be okay to stay at home every day?" "Haha, Brother Liang is smart! Otherwise, why do everyone think that the river and lake station is a good job? It's because there is very little time to be busy. The main thing is to accept specific tasks, accumulate military merits, and exchange for rewards."
Ran Zhongshi introduced while walking, taking him to visit the entire interior of the building ship. "Military merits are mainly divided into two categories: minor merits and major merits. They can be obtained in the filing room. Minor merits can be exchanged for things on the minor merit list, mostly blood-replenishing pills, qi-replenishing pills, ordinary weapons and armor, and martial arts. If you get major merits, you can exchange things on the major merit list, and the things will be much better, such as natural treasures, top-grade skills, superior martial arts, and spiritual weapons and armor. It should be noted that major merits and minor merits are not interchangeable. Even if you have made a hundred minor merits, you cannot exchange for one item on the major merit list. Here, this is the filing room. When the Hebo Office is settled in the future, it will be moved there." Ran Zhongshi pushed open a cabin room and Liang Qu walked in. Inside was a 20-square-meter room with several large wooden boards and many pages nailed on them. Two chief clerks were sitting on the long table in the middle. When they saw Ran Zhongshi and Liang Qu, they greeted each other. Liang Qu nodded gently. The chief clerk was a ninth-rank official, and Liang Qu was an eighth-rank official, half a level higher than them, so it was normal for him to receive the gift. "To register military merits, repeated confirmation is required, and there must be a chief clerk and three colleagues present. In addition, there must be a human head for killing people and an animal head for killing animals, otherwise it will not count." Liang Qu came to the wooden board and took a quick look. The tasks have been sorted out and placed on the same wooden board according to different levels of strength. The extermination of water beasts occupies half, and the extermination of the Ghost Mother Sect occupies the other half. It is written on it that after accepting it, it will be determined whether it is eligible to receive it, and more specific information will be informed after confirmation. Liang Qu is currently unable to accept the task of destroying the Ghost Mother Sect alone, unless he follows others to accept it. It seems that the Ghost Mother Sect envoy and the ferryman were forced to spit out a lot of information. "We brought a lot of stuff. In addition to the two tower ships, there are two cargo ships. However, we don't have any top-quality stuff. Those need to be reported before they can be delivered." Ran Zhongshi took Liang Qu to visit the utility room, the file room, and the armor room, and finally took him to get the boats and confirm the river dolphins he was going to command.
This is the privilege of the eighth-rank river god. The ninth-rank river chief can only get a uniform, a small boat, and a fine steel spear. The eighth-rank river god's stuff is several times better. In addition to the uniform and boats, there is also a black water spear and a demon-level river dolphin. The black water spear is a short spear, about meters long. It is mixed with black water iron during forging. The overall shape is like a whole square bar twisted into a spiral shape, and a spear tip is pulled out at the end. It can be thrown straight into the water with a light throw, and it rotates by itself to increase its power. As for the river dolphin, Liang Qu can have a river dolphin as a helper since he is the eighth-rank river god. The token he received earlier was proof of his control over the finless porpoise, a mini finless porpoise that was almost white jade and the size of a thumb. Liang Qu had originally thought of sneaking up on the finless porpoise and controlling one, but he didn't expect to get it without any effort. Under the leadership of Ran Zhongshi, Liang Qu first went to see the boat, which was similar in shape to his black-sailed boat, but much larger. It was just over seven meters long, with a deeper hull, and could even fit a set of tables, chairs and benches inside. The ceiling was also higher, so you didn't need to bend over to enter. There were wooden windows on both sides that could be flipped open. Most importantly, it was new! Every piece of wood was smooth and bright, much better than Liang Qu's black-sailed boat that was covered with scratches. The vehicle was upgraded again. "What is that?" Liang Qu walked around the boat and found that on the other side of the boat was a very narrow boat that was more than three meters long and two feet wide, like a shuttle, which could barely accommodate one person lying down. "That's a porpoise boat." Ran Zhongshi opened the waterproof compartment at the bow and took out a set of strange saddles. "This is a saddle specially for porpoises. You can sit in the boat and let the porpoise pull you like a horse. It's very fast because it's small enough and has a shuttle-shaped structure. It can shuttle through the water. You just need to hold your breath beforehand." Wow! Liang Qu didn't expect that his idea of letting water beasts pull the boat would be realized by Hebo first! He looked around and saw that the boats next to him were almost the same, with only some minor differences, so he stopped worrying. "Let's take this one." Ran Zhongshi nodded, and two soldiers lifted the boat and helped put it into the water. The two of them took the boat to a certain area where capybaras were playing. Liang Qu took out the token, grabbed the hanging rope, and lowered the jade porpoise. Blood and energy were infused into it, and a porpoise poked its head out and swam quickly to the side of the boat. Each token was made of the stratum corneum of the porpoise. When the blood and energy were stimulated, it could emit the familiar breath fluctuations of the porpoise, which was difficult to recognize. The summoned porpoises circled around the boat, very excited. The body length is between six and seven meters, as big as a boat, with a short and wide snout and a big head. The most powerful part of the porpoise is its head, which has a very strong impact force. When in groups, it is like a cannonball, which can cause extremely serious internal trauma to the enemy. "It seems that the porpoise anchored by the token is it, a male one, and Junior Brother Liang is lucky." Ran Zhongshi congratulated.
The male porpoise is larger and more powerful, and it will be better as a helper. Liang Qu nodded and reached out to touch the porpoise's head. It's decided to be you! I will secretly take control when I bring it back to Yixing Town. Liang Qu clasped his fists to thank: "Brother Ran, you have guided me all the way. I am very grateful for the trouble." As a sixth-rank water balance guard, Ran Zhongshi took him, an eighth-rank river god, to register and select boats and porpoises, which can be regarded as condescending. Ran Zhongshi pressed Liang Qu's hands: "Hey, Liang brother, you don't have to be so polite. You and I are colleagues, so we should take care of each other. That Wei Lin is not easy to get along with, and it would be even worse if we were scattered. I have a younger sister who has gone to the county to buy a house today. We should get to know each other more after we settle down." Liang Qu and Ran Zhongshi are not familiar with each other. The biggest bond between them is Xu Yuelong. Ran Zhongshi is not so friendly to everyone in Xu Yuelong's faction. That's right, Liang Qu is a disciple of Master Yang, but Uncle Yang is Xu Yuelong's Uncle Yang, not his Uncle Yang. Just because he has a good relationship with Xu Yuelong doesn't mean he has to have a good relationship with Liang Qu. Otherwise, so many people have more or less some origins from their ancestors. Does he have to greet everyone with a smile? In the final analysis, it all depends on the investment value of Liang Qu himself. Ran Zhongshi is close to Liang Qu because he values Liang Qu's future. The so-called "threshold" is "door" if you have enough ability, and "threshold" if you don't have enough ability. Most of the ups and downs in life are caused by lack of ability. If you show enough talent, you will always attract the so-called nobles. Ran Zhongshi is not the grandson of a duke, but his grandfather is also a marquis, with an extraordinary status. Liang Qu did not refuse the invitation, and said frankly that he would visit him when he was free. Then he said goodbye to Ran Zhongshi, rowed his famous new boat, and took the porpoise to Yixing Town to an uninhabited water area. So far, Liang Qu has commanded a total of four water beasts. Unable to move and fat catfish are both controlled at the level of ordinary beasts. Although Quan and Awei are monsters, their situations are also special. Quan is a cub and has almost no self-awareness. As a reptile, Awei has a very low brain capacity and a weak self-awareness. He became smart after commanding and opening his mind. The porpoise is a monster that Liang Qu truly commands, and it is not known whether it will succeed. He pulled out the blue wolf, cut his index finger, middle finger, and ring finger, and summoned the porpoise. The porpoise quietly surfaced, and Liang Qu did not know what he was going to do. The IQ of social animals is generally higher than that of solitary animals. They have simple sociality, and this is even more true for spirits. The porpoise can know who to listen to with the token, which is obviously a manifestation of extreme intelligence. For this reason, Liang Qu did not control it immediately, but just touched the porpoise's back, telling it not to panic no matter what.
The porpoise seemed to understand and nodded. Seeing this, Liang Qu no longer hesitated and slid his finger down the porpoise's back. The water character slowly emerged, condensed but not dispersed, emitting a hazy blood light. A strong spiritual force blasted into his mind. The resistance of this force was not strong, but simply strong. It seemed that the previous comfort had worked. The emotions that Liang Qu could sense were only a little panic. Liang Qu patted the porpoise's back to comfort the water beast. After dozens of breaths of confrontation, the spirit of resistance gradually relaxed. The fifth spiritual connection was connected like a spider web, firmly established in Liang Qu's sea of consciousness, occupying all the remaining spiritual space. The fifth water beast, control is successful!
