233: Chapter 233 Lin Chen Approves Official Documents? Adorable Kid's Regent Life is So Enjoyable

Over in the Dragon Domain, the Novice Area expansion had just been integrated into the Falling Maple system, and Lin Zhe had not yet left Wanlong City.

The post-war mining areas, dungeons, teleportation arrays, and player administrators all needed to be thoroughly inspected and managed.

Qing Yu stood outside the palace hall holding a stack of Dragon Domain inventory lists. She said softly, "Sir, all government affairs for Luofeng Village have been transferred to Master Lin Chen."

Lin Zhe's expression remained calm, and he only nodded faintly.

"Let him handle it."

With those words spoken,

the atmosphere in the Luofeng Village administrative hall instantly transformed.

On the high-backed chair that originally belonged to the Prince Regent, Lin Chen sat wearing a miniature black-and-gold Prince Regent robe. His short little legs dangled off the edge of the chair, and he held half a piece of Spirit Honey Cake in his arms.

With the cake still in his mouth, he flipped through official documents.

Beside him, Lin Yueyao sat on a small stool holding Xiao Jin. Xiao Jin's tail wagged back and forth, letting out an occasional 'awoo'.

Outside the hall, a group of officials kept their heads bowed, not even daring to breathe too loudly.

Don't be fooled by Lin Chen's small size.

The system interface in his hands was far more ruthless than any blade.

The first official document popped up.

[Qingye Village Inspector Zhou Li: This month's novice quest completion rate is 98%, zero player complaints, zero resource backlog.]

Lin Chen tapped it with his little hand.

The background data expanded.

[Actual Quest Completion Rate: 61%]

[Player Complaints: 327]

[Public Warehouse Potion Backlog: 1,200 bottles]

[Inspector Online Work Hours: Less than half an hour daily]

The hall instantly fell dead silent.

Zhou Li turned pale and fell to his knees with a thud.

"Master Lin Chen, I... I just didn't have time to update the data!"

Lin Chen took a bite of the Spirit Honey Cake and said in a babyish voice, "You didn't just fail to update it."

"You were being lazy."

Slap!

He slapped his little hand onto the official document.

[Punishment Announcement: Qingye Village Inspector Zhou Li has falsified administrative achievements, neglected novice affairs, and delayed the distribution of public potions. The evidence is conclusive!]

[Punishment: Forfeiture of three months' salary! Demoted by one rank and placed on probation! Server-wide public criticism!]

Boom!

The server-wide announcement popped up immediately.

The world channel instantly exploded.

"Holy crap, the Little Prince Regent is personally auditing the accounts?"

"Once the background data is pulled, the officials are exposed on the spot!"

"Falsifying achievements and getting fined three months' salary, so satisfying!"

Zhou Li knelt on the ground, sweating profusely.

"Thank you for your mercy, Master Lin Chen!"

Lin Chen didn't look at him again and continued to flip to the next document.

The second document was an application submitted by the Apothecary of Baishi Village.

[Application: Due to the sudden surge in new players, it is recommended to distribute Basic Life Potion ×3 for free to all players under Level 10 daily, lasting for seven days.]

After Lin Chen finished reading it, his little face visibly softened.

He looked up and asked, "Are the warehouses well-stocked?"

The Apothecary immediately bowed. "Yes! The Public Warehouse has ample stock, and this month's potions from the Human Empire have already arrived."

Lin Chen nodded.

"Approved."

Slap!

[Novice Benefit Update: In Luofeng Village, Fengyu Village, Shiti Village, Qingye Village, Baishi Village, and Chenxing Village, all players under Level 10 can receive Basic Life Potion ×3 daily for free!]

[Collection Location: Public Warehouse of each village.]

[This benefit has been approved by the Archon of Luofeng Village, Lin Chen, and takes effect immediately!]

As soon as the announcement went out, the six novice villages instantly boiled over with excitement.

The newbies who had just entered the game looked at the newly refreshed potions in the warehouse, their eyes lighting up.

"Three bottles a day?"

"I was just reluctant to buy potions!"

"Master Lin Chen understands newbies so well!"

The third document was a proposal from the Quest Officer of Chenxing Village.

[Proposal: Increase rewards for Nighttime Novice Escort Quests to prevent low-level players from being blocked by wild monsters.]

Lin Chen hardly hesitated.

"Approved."

[Rewards for the Nighttime Novice Escort Quest increased by 20%. Veteran players participating in the escort will receive bonus contribution points.]

The world channel cheered once again.

"Welfare applications approved in seconds!"

"Lazy officials punished in seconds, player benefits approved in seconds—this Little Prince Regent is just too awesome!"

At this moment, some player managed to record the scene inside the administrative hall.

In the video, Lin Chen wore his miniature Prince Regent robe, chewed on his Spirit Honey Cake, and approved official documents with a serious little face.

Xiao Jin lay beside him, letting out an occasional 'awoo'.

The video title was even more ridiculous.

[A Day in the Life of the Little Prince Regent at Work: Lazy Officials Shivering in Fear!]

In less than ten minutes, the view count exploded.

The world channel was flooded with memes.

[Lin Chen Chewing Cake While Approving Documents]

[Little Prince Regent's Cold Face]

[Xiao Jin Supervising with an Awoo]

"Ahhh! So cute!"

"He's clearly so small, yet he's so intimidating when punishing officials!"

"He's adorable enough to kill me, but I wouldn't dare mess with him!"

"The eldest son of the Lin family is incredibly reliable!"

In the administrative hall, the officials heard the cheers from outside, but every single one of them felt a chill run down their spine.

The announcement of Zhou Li's server-wide criticism was still pinned.

Who would dare to slack off now?

Lin Chen finished the last bite of his Spirit Honey Cake and opened the next stack of official documents.

His little face was still deadly serious.

"Next."

Outside the hall, the officials waiting in line for approval stood straight in unison.

Far away in Wanlong City, Lin Zhe received system feedback.

[Ding! The administrative stability of the Falling Maple system has increased!]

[Ding! Players' awe value toward Lin Chen has significantly increased!]

Lin Zhe glanced faintly at the small figure sitting on the high chair on the screen.

"Not bad."
