In the afternoon, the cleanup was finally completed, and not a single demon was left alive. They were all killed or captured.

There might have been a few minions that got away, but it was more likely that they were completely destroyed. After all, when Lin Wen charged forward with his shotgun, firing through the rain of bullets, he didn't keep track of how many he killed.

If someone was hit directly by the shotgun, their body would be completely obliterated, and their remains would never be found.

Lin Wen decided not to use any spells, as it wasn't necessary. After all, they were only minions. If it were a demon that got away, he wouldn't have been so lenient.

In addition to the results of the sweep, the army on the outskirts killed over a hundred people and captured over two hundred people.

Lin Wen had some good karma with the people killed by the army, as it was directly related to him. Each person was worth one or two points.

Among the two hundred people captured, many were completely blacked out.

Lin Wen took the shotgun and killed a few of the completely blacked out people.

As expected, since it wasn't all his effort, each person was only worth one or two points.

If that was the case, they would be sentenced to death by the court, and it would probably be the same number.

Thinking of this, Lin Wen didn't bother to kill them himself. They couldn't escape anyway, and it would save him some time and energy.

It was a good opportunity to train Fang Yaobo.

"Take them away! Hand them over to Fang Yaobo for trial."

He turned and left, ignoring the wailing and screaming behind him.

"Monster! Monster!"

When you're just trying to make great content at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

"Go kill him! He's not human! He's a monster!"

"He must be an empire's modified human! If you don't kill him, he will destroy the world!"

The soldiers didn't pay attention to these nonsensical words. Those who shouted the loudest were hit by the butt of the gun and soon stopped shouting, obediently escorted onto the military truck and sent back to Huai Town.

At this point, the drug dealer cleanup operation was complete. Over two million yuan in cash and other valuable items were found in the drug dealer's lair, in addition to the initial 88 million, a total of more than 90 million yuan was collected.

Over 500 people who were held hostage, imprisoned, or abducted were rescued, over half of whom were children.

A whole car was filled with confiscated guns, ammunition, and weapons, and countless illegal items were destroyed.

Lin Wen's good karma harvest exceeded 700 points.

After deducting all expenses, he netted 561 points.

Moreover, there should be at least 60-90 points of good karma that have not been accounted for.

Apart from guarding the levee, this was the most good karma he had ever earned.

Now, his good karma has reached 1607 points, a historical high.

Unfortunately, he has not yet discovered the conversion ratio between good karma and qi luck in the system, only knowing that good karma adds to opportunities and qi luck, while bad karma reduces it by one percent.

In other words, for him, who aimed for the ultimate late stage, 100 points of good karma could only offset 1 point of bad karma's adverse effects.

The 1607 points of good karma he had accumulated were only enough to offset 16 points of bad karma.

And now, although his bad karma had not yet changed from 0 to 1, that number was starting to move.

Obviously, he had unknowingly accumulated some bad karma.But Lin Wen also knew that this was an unavoidable matter, and could only be offset by more good karma.

For Huang Mingxiao, the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau responsible for disaster relief work, this period was undoubtedly like a dream.

For the first time, he enjoyed the freedom that was not limited by finance. First, the Governor's Mansion issued 67 million yuan of disaster relief funds, and then, 88 million yuan of funds emerged from nowhere. The county's financial books suddenly had 155 million yuan.

There has never been so much money on the books of Changshan County. Huang Mingxiao asked Old Xie several times, but he always hesitated and did not say anything.

But he did not care, just immersed in the joy of sufficient materials, improved living conditions for disaster victims, and worry-free reconstruction of their homes.

As expected, Sheriff Lin had a far-sighted vision and decisively raised the material conditions to 1.2 million per day.

With this measure alone, Huang Mingxiao believed that many lives were saved.

Many starving, sick, and weak disaster victims were saved because of this.

He used to worry about what to do if the money ran out.

Little did he know that Sheriff Lin had already laid out the plan and was confident.

This is the difference in realm.

No wonder he became a sheriff at such a young age.

It's really because of talent, ability, and quality.

Governor Sheng has a discerning eye for heroes.

Sheriff Lin lived up to expectations.

It's that simple.

It's not for the messy reasons of being an illegitimate child, bribing huge sums of money, or having support from big shots in the court that are being spread outside.

In recent days, Huang Mingxiao has strictly prohibited such distorted and defamatory speeches about Sheriff Lin's personality, temporarily curbing this trend in the Civil Affairs Bureau.

But as far as he knows, such speeches spread quickly in Huai Town and other departments, and have caused some adverse effects.

However, Huang Mingxiao is not very worried. Sheriff Lin is upright and not afraid of shadows. These groundless rumors will soon dissipate.

So he has always focused his work on the reconstruction of homes.

As a result of many days of research, Huang Mingxiao has already understood a part of the construction design drawings. He can only sigh that Lin Wen, Sheriff Lin's classmate, is indeed a genius among geniuses.

This rigorous, precise, perfect, and practical fairy design, which is also layered and without any superfluous details, is really not something that ordinary people can do.

The reconstruction of homes officially started three days ago.

The construction site was selected at the intersection of the extension lines of Changpai Village, Niujiao Village, and the center of Changle Town. This was the center of the three areas, with the least obstruction, no need for demolition, the most convenient for planning, and the project connected the four temporary resettlement points, with the most convenient transportation.On the first day of construction, the scene of 170,000 young disaster victims, thousands of imperial soldiers, and laborers from the construction corps working together with great enthusiasm made Huang Mingxiao shed tears.

He suddenly felt that this was the most beautiful scene.

No doubt about it.

He must do his best to maintain it.

There must be a good ending!

Please!

With this belief, Huang Mingxiao worked day and night, constantly adjusting and assigning work tasks, solving problems that arose within the organization, and constantly improving logistics support.

Overall, although there were some small problems, it ran smoothly.

The enthusiasm of the disaster victims, laborers, and soldiers was high, and the progress of the project exceeded the planned schedule every day.

Until Sheriff Lin returned and joined in.

Things suddenly took a dramatic turn.

First, morale. If morale was high before Lin Wen arrived, it exploded after he personally joined the reconstruction work.

The first task of rebuilding the home was to dig the foundation and build drainage. There were only six excavators in total, all allocated to the hardest land, and the rest required manpower.

This was the hardest, most difficult, and most tiring work. Sheriff Lin was willing to suffer with the dusty disaster victims, getting himself covered in dust.

For the disaster victims, there was no official closer to them than him.

Even in their subconscious minds, they didn't see him as a sheriff, but as a great immortal who emerged from the people.

They even took pride in having the same shovel frequency as Lin Wen, even to the point of having identical movements.

As a result, the uniform movement frequency started from Lin Wen and quickly spread to all those who were doing the same labor on the construction site.

Huang Mingxiao saw for the first time tens of thousands of people swinging their shovels in unison, smashing them on the ground with a magnificent and awe-inspiring momentum, and the sweat of countless people working hard for a happy life flying in the sun, causing his soul to tremble, wishing to immediately take off his official uniform and join in.

But this was not possible. Their division of labor was different, and if he didn't make a reasonable overall plan, this scene would not continue.

Huang Mingxiao was really inspired and burned every brain cell just to make sure there were no mistakes in his work.

Of course, Lin Wen was very troubled by this.

His original intention was to rest for a few days and restore his elemental spirit. The cost of using the Good Karma Spell was too expensive. If he had enough elemental spirit, his Good Karma would have broken through 2000 points by now.

So he came to the construction site to earn some extra money, and to save his elemental spirit, he didn't even use spells like Nine Bulls and Two Tigers Strength or Spirit Cat's Agility, relying solely on physical strength.

Unexpectedly, he became the object of imitation.

He couldn't just act recklessly. Lin Wen had to reluctantly spend 10% of his elemental spirit to obtain a perfect, standard, and undamaged human labor posture and method from Ask Heaven.

The original intention was to prevent someone from imitating his irregular movements and getting injured, accidentally generating a trace of evil karma.Unexpectedly, this brought Lin Wen a lot of extra good fortune, making him overjoyed.

This made Lin Wen suddenly discover a new path to wealth. Although it wasn't much, it was nice to make a small profit.

So, after careful study, he decided to bring over the clappers and slogans he sang during his previous life's labor.

The time-tested mature rhythm of his voice perfectly matched the movements of labor, making people forget their fatigue, stimulating their body's potential, maintaining their enthusiasm for work, and improving their work efficiency, making it more lasting and stable.

After the labor was over, Lin Wen also brought in some songs and programs to enrich their lives.

For example:

"We Workers Have Strength"

"Unity is Strength"

"Without Sheriff Lin, There Would Be No New Changshan County"

"What's the Big Deal About Falling Down?"

These songs had strong rhythms, were easy to understand, and met the needs of the people. Although some parts were unclear, the overall content was easy to accept, and they quickly became popular among the disaster victims, becoming their new spiritual sustenance.

After a day of labor, Lin Wen would return to the temporary command center and participate in the daily work summary hosted by Huang Mingxiao.
