272: Fearless

Inside the Immortal Cave, there was only a Meditation Cushion and a stone bed. A large amount of pale green light was clearly floating above the Meditation Cushion; that was immortal spirit qi.

Li Haotian entered the Immortal Cave and sat cross-legged on the Meditation Cushion. A large amount of immortal spirit qi continuously poured into his body.

Li Haotian was surprised to discover that sitting on this Meditation Cushion, even if he just Cultivated without using any immortal fate stone, was equivalent to absorbing the power within an immortal fate stone.

Of course, it would take at least five days of Cultivation to equal one immortal fate stone.

For the sake of his Cultivation speed, Li Haotian naturally could not just rely on the Meditation Cushion to Cultivate; obtaining Cultivation resources was what he valued more.

The next morning, he took out his shift schedule. Everyone nodded in approval when they saw their respective teams and the scheduling method.

Li Haotian directly allocated two days of vacation to everyone in these teams, meaning their vacation time had increased from the original three days to five days.

Although the daily working hours for each team increased, they had no complaints. As long as they had rest time, being able to go complete tasks or take on side jobs was ideal.

Their usual Cultivation resources were not abundant, and having potentially been exploited by the previous supervisor, they had no savings now.

The wages they received were only enough to maintain their immortal bodies; there was no way to continue Cultivating.

If they wanted to improve their Cultivation, they had to find ways to accept various tasks, and only after completing them could they receive rewards.

Li Haotian gave them extra rest time, which naturally allowed them to accept more tasks. For them, this increase in Cultivation time was an extremely good thing.

Those who were unconvinced at first also nodded silently at this moment. It had to be said that this guy really knew how to grasp people's hearts; this single shift schedule alone made everyone look at him with newfound respect.

Originally, they had a unified shift schedule; once the team names were filled in, they had to follow it.

But Li Haotian did not do that. He gradually explored a new shift mode that could save everyone time and provide more rest time.

Everyone highly approved of his arrangements, and some even came to find him, attempting to give him gifts.

This person was holding a Storage Pouch, which contained many immortal fate stones.

"What is the meaning of this? Why are you bringing these to me?"

Li Haotian's expression darkened when he saw the Storage Pouch. How had the crooked trends of society already blown in just one day after he took office?

He had no intention of exploiting or oppressing these people, so why were they holding immortal fate stones to honor him?

"This is the rule of previous generations. As long as we offer a portion of our immortal fate stones to you every month, it makes our lives a little easier. Isn't your scheduling meant to ask for our tribute?"

The man scratched his head, obviously confused. Was this person not doing this to get tribute in exchange for such good treatment?

"Don't think too much, take all this money back and divide it among yourselves. Do not let me see such crooked trends again."

"I am not that kind of person. My actions are just to ensure you work well."

Li Haotian's words left those present looking shocked. It was the first time they had seen someone so generous, with no intention of exploiting them, simply wanting them to work well.

This news quickly spread among all the Patrol Teams. They not only had extra vacation but also did not need to offer immortal fate stones every month, which immediately made all the Patrol Teams want to transfer to Li Haotian's command.

At the same time, the supervisors of various places also wore expressions of suspicion. The errands that could have brought in profits were ruined by Li Haotian, and much of their easy money had gone down the drain.

A Patrol Team has ten people, and each supervisor manages ten Patrol Teams, which is 100 people.

Even if these 100 people only offered one immortal fate stone each, it would be enough to equal two months of their salary. Now that someone had taken the lead in refusing to accept immortal fate stones, where would they put their Face if they continued to accept them?

Everyone looked displeased. They had gathered there for a meeting just to discuss how to deal with Li Haotian.

"That guy is really shameless. He dares to put on a show of righteousness here. Does he want to break the rules we have set for so long?"

"I don't care about the others, but I must still make them offer tribute every month. This is the bulk of my income. If this source is cut, I won't be able to survive."

"This bastard is also shameless. He doesn't take it, but we still need to eat. Now he is blatantly saying not to offer tribute, and it has spread so widely. How are we supposed to act? If we continue to collect it, the people under us will inevitably have doubts."

Everyone chattered noisily. Everyone was unhappy with Li Haotian's behavior; his integrity was simply a clear stream in this dirty society.

If he didn't accept bribes, it made everyone present look like greedy, utilitarian individuals with no integrity.

Naturally, no one would accept such criticism, so they immediately gathered together to crusade against Li Haotian.

Li Haotian had only been in office for a month, and he had already been targeted. He helplessly pushed open the door; with his Divine Sense, he had already sensed these people outside.

With a large amount of Cultivation resources, Li Haotian advanced smoothly and quickly. He was now an Earth Immortal Eighth Realm Powerhouse.

The salary here was nothing, but the resources provided by the System were massive for him, likely enough to support him in Cultivating to the Heavenly Immortal or even higher Realm.

Li Haotian looked at these people before him with a sneer. It was perfectly clear why they had come to find him.

"We have only one request now. You call all your subordinates here immediately and collect their tribute. This matter will be settled. Otherwise, from now on, we will definitely not let you have any good days!"

Almost 100 supervisors sent a representative to speak with a very tough attitude.

Li Haotian naturally wouldn't indulge them, and a smile appeared on his Face.

"I'd like to see what kind of bad days you can give me."
