260: Rise of the Ratball

Chapter 260: The Rise of the Rat Ball

In any case, after the Three Gods appeared, their group of Upper Realm lackeys was undoubtedly the most worried and nervous.

"How is it? Is there still no movement from Yaoyang City?"

"No," the subordinate reporting chuckled, "And according to the information I've gathered, the grain prices in Yaoyang City have long since stabilized. Even with the current intercity spatial aisle closed, it remains unaffected."

"What a joke!" Wang Zhi exclaimed, turning pale. "Where did they get so much grain? Could it be those grain merchants secretly supporting them?"

The more Wang Zhi thought about it, the angrier he became, and he immediately contacted the major grain merchant Families.

After learning the situation, Wang Zhi was somewhat bewildered.

"What? You're saying Yaoyang City still has surplus grain to sell?"

"Exactly! We've been secretly investigating this matter recently too."

Wang Zhi's face changed between shades of anger and uncertainty after hanging up the phone, growing angrier the more he thought about it.

No, why?

Where did they get the means to produce grain?

At this moment, he felt like a clown.

He had originally been smugly waiting for Yaoyang City to beg for mercy, but who would have thought that they didn't even take him seriously, and were living even better than before.

Even more outrageous, the Underworld Club had also won last month's special crusade, officially promoting them to a Gold Club.

"Could it be the Association secretly interfering?"

Considering Cui Wenxuan's special identity, this possibility wasn't out of the question.

Or perhaps, the Yaoyang City Association had just cultivated relevant professional talents?

"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!" Wang Zhi gritted his teeth. "We must find out the source of their grain."

Damn it, he had originally wanted to use this to show off to those people in the Club, but he didn't expect Yaoyang City to turn around and show him up instead.

"Ah? But the intercity spatial aisle is closed now, isn't it?"

"You can't live without the intercity spatial aisle, can you?" Wang Zhi snapped. "Bring more people and go through the Dimensional Infestation Zone."

His subordinate could only obey reluctantly.

After retreating, he couldn't help but grumble inwardly.

He had boasted endlessly before, saying how amazing the Upper Realm was and that Yaoyang City would soon beg for mercy.

And then? I'm asking you, then what?

It's one thing for him to be a dog for the Upper Realm, but he even wanted to trick everyone into being dogs too, idiot!

Wang Zhi did not notice the abnormality of his subordinates. At this moment, his mind was filled with the impact of the Three Gods' appearance on the future world order, and on the future of the Wang Family.

After all, the Wang Family's current standing was essentially due to 'a dog relying on its master's power'.

Just then, Wang Zhi seemed to sense something, and a look of wild joy appeared in his eyes.

He then rushed back to the Family secret chamber without a word.

Inside the secret chamber, a mirror-like device was enshrined. Beside the device, several divine dogs of various forms were already in position, listening to the instructions and teachings of the master in the mirror.

Wang Zhi knelt forward, bracing himself. "Master, your most loyal dog is here."

Buzz!

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in the mirror's face darkened, and a powerful aura projected through the mirror onto the Wang Family members.

"You've forgotten the rules, haven't you?" The man in the mirror said from above, his expression indifferent.

"Please forgive me, Master ~ Please forgive me," Wang Zhi was so scared that he nearly wet himself, explaining in a panic, "It's not that this servant forgot the rules, it's just that the collar you bestowed upon this servant was broken by a thoughtless young man."

"Oh?" The man in the mirror raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Who is so bold as to dare destroy a creation of the heavens?"

"Reporting, Master, it's a young man who just emerged in Yaoyang City. His scroll talent is extremely high, and he's now thriving in Tianfeng Province," Wang Zhi explained, prostrating himself.

"Useless thing!" The man in the mirror snorted.

"Oh, right, that young man also has a powerful Divine Dog gold scroll. Master should be very interested," Wang Zhi quickly changed the subject.

"Is that so?" The man in the mirror seemed to show a little interest.

Wang Zhi quickly pulled out his phone and played a video of Lou Jin Dog.

The more the man in the mirror watched, the more astonished and pleased he became. A rare hint of interest appeared on his aloof and indifferent face. "Good dog! Truly a good dog!

I don't need to say more about what to do, do I?"

"Master, rest assured, this servant will do everything in his power to make him submit to your feet."

The man in the mirror nodded in satisfaction. "The current situation is chaotic, and it's not convenient for this seat to go down. How are the things I asked you to collect coming along?"

"We've collected quite a bit. Please take a look."

Wang Zhi quickly pulled out a pile of data cores and put them into the man in the mirror's hand.

"As for those three alien demon gods, the heavens have their own way of dealing with them," the man in the mirror sneered. "Let them show off for a while."

Wang Zhi and the Wang Family dogs obediently nodded.

Then, the man in the mirror issued a series of tasks and commands, and his figure gradually blurred in the mirror.

Seeing this, Wang Zhi eagerly said, "Master, my new collar..."

...Yaoyang City, Earth God Temple Farm No. 3.

Now, the public's incense offerings to the Earth God Temple are increasing, and all the Earth God Temple Farms are developing better and better.

However, some problems have been frequently appearing in the past few days.

At the granary, several farm workers were disheveled, and at their feet lay the corpse of a rat, larger than a dog, with shiny fur.

It took them a lot of effort to catch this large rat.

It wasn't that this rat was particularly strong, but mainly that it was too slippery and hard to catch.

"Tsk ~ Is this the rhythm of the rat ball rising?"

Wu Xian carefully studied the large rat in front of him, sighing inwardly.

He had also witnessed the latter half of the battle to catch the large rat, and he was truly surprised.

Regardless of why this rat grew so large, the key point was that this thing could also perform short-distance spatial jumps, which was simply ridiculous!

A few days ago, who would have thought that the Emperor Spirit of the Void would bring about this kind of impact?

One must know, this was just an ordinary rat in the human world. If it were those various rat-like creatures from another world, who knew what they could evolve into.

"Are the rats in other parts of the city also like this?" Wu Xian frowned and asked.

"Other places are fine, only their size has increased, and their strength has greatly improved," the worker reported. "It's just that the variation here at our farm is a bit extreme."

Hearing this, Wu Xian couldn't help but joke, "They're quite good at choosing."

Rats are indeed rats; they are quite professional in this regard.

One can only blame the high quality of the grain at our farm, and its high "nutritional" value, which nourished these rats to such an extent in just a few days.

"Roughly how many rats are there on the farm?" Wu Xian asked.

"A preliminary estimate puts it at no less than a hundred. You also know the reproductive capacity of these things," the worker said with a worried face. "Given time, the numbers will probably skyrocket."

Wu Xian sighed inwardly, "Temporarily transfer the granary to the subspace storage device. As for the grain fields, first find some General Leopard Tail players to come over; that should have some effect."

The granary could be moved to subspace, but the grain growing in the fields couldn't be hidden in subspace.

"Okay, I'll go arrange it right away."

Wu Xian sighed softly and turned to inspect other farms. The situation there was no better.

After returning to the North District, he began to ponder countermeasures.

If it were an ordinary rat infestation, it would naturally be no difficulty, easily dealt with.

The key was that these rats were no longer ordinary rats, but "relatives" of a True God in this world. Some rats had even mastered the "flash" skill.

"Alas ~ I wonder if our Grand Immortal Huang can handle it?"
