Seeing Chun online, the old foreman and Aileen spoke almost simultaneously: "City Lord is here!" "You're here!"

Their tones were completely different, the old man was ecstatic, Aileen was salty!

Chun panicked: "Old foreman, you speak first!"

The old man said happily: "As expected of the newly recruited Guardian God by the City Lord, shortly after dark, we heard enchanting singing from the sea, apparently dragging a large ship over here. Everyone on the ship was hypnotized to sleep. We've been unloading cargo for half the night! This is crude silver ore, usually accompanied by copper and iron. Smith just took some lumps of the ore back to the blacksmith shop to melt them, to see the proportions of copper, iron, and silver. Iron can be used to make cannon mounts, copper for parts, and silver can also make Magic Cannon, and the slag can make cement..."

Holy shit holy shit! This is Plague Island, wouldn't it spread Crow's Plague when it comes back?

Chun asked with shock: "What about the ship?"

The old man laughed as black smoke rushed: "Of course, after unloading the cargo, it was dragged away by the Guardian God! The Guardian God also said that we're short of coal for smelting ores, so she'll find a chance to drag a few ships of coal over."

Chun hurriedly tried to contact the Siren again.

—— Black Flag Order prompt: The Siren refused to talk to you!

Unable to communicate, I'm bleeding internally! Is she trying to smother me?

Oh right, aren't there two Pirate Ships patrolling the outskirts of Plague Island by the Great Evil Spirit? How did she break through the interception? Did she hypnotize them all? Then this power might compare with the Mermaid?

The old man felt sentimentally: "This Guardian God is much stronger than before, unlike the previous Guardian God, who was useless."

More information about the previous Guardian God? It's appeared twice now, definitely triggering a hidden event!

Chun immediately asked: "Who was the previous Guardian God?"

Tie scoffed and shook his head: "Forgotten over a hundred years, who would remember useless folks?"

How could it be useless! Previously, a sunken ship event was triggered at Cui's place, and a ship full of Gemstones with Siren Bai and Black Obsidian was made. Now triggering an even higher-level Guardian God event, just thinking about it is amazing…

Just at this moment, Chifanda came running excitedly with a box: "City Lord City Lord, hurry up and overhaul the smelting furnace and practice the crude silver ore, I need to design a Divine Artifact-level Cannon!"

The old foreman grumbled: "What do you understand? Right now, we need to concentrate our efforts to repair the city wall and turret first! We don't even have coal to smelt the ore yet?"

Chun quickly asked: "Do you know how to design a Divine Artifact-level Cannon?"

Chifanda patted the box with great joy: "Got a box of paper, pen, and measuring tools from the ship's chart room, I have the tools now, no need to draw on the wall! With the conditions on the island, we don't need a gunpowder cannon, a Stone-Throwing Cannon will do!"

Chun became interested: "Once you've designed it, let me study it too!"

Chifanda hastily said: "I need to first build a workshop! Luxurious, facing the sea and sunset to see seagulls for inspiration..."

The old foreman shouted angrily: "Get lost get lost! There are crows here, not seagulls!"

Holy shit! Am I the leader or are you the leader?

Just then, Cui, glowing with a sacred white light, ran over: "City Lord, now that we have silver, we need to build top-grade Magic Cannon! Magic Cannon requires Gem Melting Lens as the Energy Gathering Core, we should smelt the stockpile of Gemstones to create high-end Magic Cannon!"

You're just looking to level up your skill, aren't you?

Chun was a bit stunned: "Seems like Magic Cannon also needs magic programs to drive it? Who on the island knows magic?"

Cui hastily said: "First build the cannon and then discuss it. In the future, there will surely be a Mage!"

Chun suddenly realized a severe problem: "Does this mean, with so many talents on the island, we precisely don't have a Mage?"

The old foreman sighed: "Mages are the very top talents, unlike us, it's normal not to have them."

Huh? But now, a hundred years later, Mages are all over the place!

Perhaps we can only wait until Sherry trains one, let her program the Magic Cannon? No, seems this is another specialty, you need to go to class to learn!

Can't finish learning, totally can't finish learning!!

Then Pinocchio also came over: "City Lord City Lord, since the Guardian God dares to rob even the Golden Empire's ships, next time let's have her rob top-grade oak..."

Oh damn, each one is a talent! If I could command this Guardian God, would I risk robbing the Golden Empire's ships?

No!

Chun suddenly realized he seemed deeply submerged in the current harvest joy shared with the people! This isn't right, I'm here… Forget it, at this point, the only option is to accelerate strategic planning. This Siren either doesn't steal or, since she went big, please fulfill your promise, and drag a few ships of coal over.

Chun didn't want to hear these talents bickering anymore: "Old foreman, you're right, given our current conditions we should focus on repairing the city walls and turrets first, let's continue working."

The old foreman was satisfied: "Good, hurry up, everyone continue working and demolishing houses!"

Chun remembered that he learned the insights about House Demolition Technique while idling, the learning sequence is obviously abnormal. Normally, studying Construction Techniques should start from learning to build houses.

Chun asked: "Old foreman, does House Demolition Technique include the most profound knowledge of Construction Techniques?"

The old foreman smiled mysteriously: "Indeed! The old man can clearly tell you, actually all projects are cutting corners. House Demolition Technique is about finding the cutting corner point and then—"

Just as he finished speaking, another old building collapsed amidst the cheers of hundreds of Evil Spirits.

Chun instantly realized!

I thought Construction Techniques were civil engineering, turns out it's sociology!

This reminded Chun of a hacker joke, the top hacker doesn't spread viruses or hide trojans but buys off the opponent's gatekeeper and then pulls the plug and strips the network wiring hahaha~~~~

Fine, this "Weakness Strike Technique" seemingly aimed at construction must be learned, go idle and learn well.

Then...

Chun turned to Aileen and said: "Sorry, people outside are too busy, neglected you."

Aileen snorted: "You're the City Lord, a person handling big things, naturally outside matters are important."

Chun felt a bit awkward: "This big thing of mine, feels like it's being handled."

Aileen snorted coldly: "Who tells her to handle it well? All the Evil Spirits on the island support her, this Guardian God will only grow stronger, right?"

Hmm? Chun checked the Black Flag Order again and did not see a prompt that the Siren received faith support and became stronger.

This? This is interesting because according to the token rules, the dead can't be counted as citizens, so they likely can't give faith to the Guardian God. But now, it seems the Siren with rebellion can't be considered a proper Guardian God, right?

Aileen coldly said: "But no matter how you develop, no matter how strong she becomes, there'll likely be a day when it gets exposed, by then forget about the Golden Empire's Invincible Fleet, just the Silver City's fleet coming over — how will you handle it?"

Indeed, this is something Chun fears afterward. Exposure is inevitable, just the increase in commercial assets by 30 million, the backstage Fafnir definitely knows.

Chun doesn't know how strong the Golden Empire is, but saw the Silver Fleet's strength capturing Merfolk two days ago — hmm? Merfolk?

Chun had an inspiration: "Who do you think is stronger, Merfolk or Siren?"

Aileen was surprised: "Is there a comparison needed? Surely, it must be Merfolk, right?"

Chun had a plan: "If it's about to be exposed, I'll contact the Merfolk, let them voluntarily go into battle against the Siren. This way, both Merfolk and Old Whale can be free, and both parties can stage a fake match to control the situation! What do you think?"

Aileen laughed: "You learned it! Merfolk might be easy to talk to, but what if this Siren doesn't obey commands and actually fights?"

Chun also laughed: "There must be one who fights seriously, right? Otherwise, if everything's fake, the acting will be unconvincing!"
