And if we could have a batch of Divine Weapons and Divine Treasures, I believe that we could greatly improve these conditions.

Furthermore, there are also issues with various Secret Manuals and the spiritual medicine required for Breaking Through the different Realms. These also have a direct or indirect impact on the overall strength improvement of the Great Tang Ruins.

"There are many hidden problems. There's no way around it, we must tackle them one by one."

Xiao Mu stood by the window in his Office, beginning to think about which issues at the Great Tang Ruins could be solved now, which couldn't be solved at the moment but could be addressed with some planning, and which were insurmountable in the short term. He categorized all issues and organized them systematically.

Knock knock knock!

The sound of knocking suddenly echoed.

"Come in!"

Xiao Mu turned his head toward the door, and from the aura coming through it, he had already determined that the person knocking was his assistant Yu Ping.

The next moment, Yu Ping pushed the door and entered, asking, "Team Leader, Deputy Team Leader Zhang, Deputy Team Leader Zhu, and Deputy Team Leader Zhao have returned and are currently waiting outside. Would you like to see them now?"

"Invite them in."

Xiao Mu returned to his desk and sat down.

"Yes, Team Leader."

Yu Ping left and soon returned with three individuals, two men and one assertive-looking woman in her mid-thirties. One of the men seemed younger, about twenty-five or twenty-six, while the other was a bit older, over forty.

These three were the Deputy Team Leaders of the Logistics Department: Zhang Wu, Zhu Qian, and Zhao Ren.

"Hello, Team Leader."

"We heard about your appointment, Team Leader, and regret not coming back earlier to offer our congratulations; please don't take offense!"

"I've long heard of Team Leader Xiao's renown. I, Old Zhao, have been looking forward to working with you. I'm finally getting my wish today, haha!"

The three Deputy Team Leaders approached Xiao Mu's desk, exchanging greetings and salutations.

"There's no need for formalities; please, take a seat!"

Xiao Mu stood up from his office chair and gestured for the three Deputy Team Leaders to sit on the office sofa.

After some polite exchanges, the three Deputy Team Leaders sat down and Yu Ping busied himself pouring tea for everyone.

Xiao Mu got straight to the point, "I've called you back this time because there are work arrangements to be made. From today on, you won't need to handle the External Affairs Group's work anymore."

"This..."

Xiao Mu's words startled the three Deputy Team Leaders, especially the only female among them, Zhu Qian, "Team Leader Xiao, the work of the External Affairs Group was personally assigned by the Chief Commander. You're telling us not to do it, and we have no objections, but is it really okay to disregard the Chief Commander's opinion?"

Xiao Mu's gaze landed on Zhu Qian; the female Deputy Team Leader's ordinary appearance contrasted with her spirited demeanor, which was quite endearing.

He smiled, looking at Zhu Qian, but said nothing.

Feeling Xiao Mu's steady gaze, Zhu Qian became uneasy, her hands and feet fidgeting as she shifted uncomfortably on the sofa.

"The Logistics Department is now my responsibility; I will handle matters with the Chief Commander myself, you just need to follow my arrangements."

Zhu Qian, Zhang Wu, Zhao Ren glanced at each other, unsure of how to respond to Xiao Mu.

The new arrival, Team Leader Xiao, was so assertive, leaving them no option but to feel a growing pressure.

"I'll lay out the work. Starting today, Zhang Team Leader, you are responsible for the Secret Manuals. As long as there aren't any high-level or large numbers of manual requests, you can make decisions on your own. For high-level or large quantity requests, discuss them with me before making a decision. Also, you will temporarily oversee the Fruit Planting Base management work until I arrange otherwise."

"Yes."

Zhang Wu hesitated for a moment but ultimately responded respectfully.

"Team Leader Zhu, you will handle the materials applications and dispatch for craftsmen, including Physicians. Similarly, you can make decisions directly, unless there are high-level or large-scale material requests. Discuss important matters with me before proceeding."

"Yes, Team Leader Xiao, I will work hard to do my job well."

Zhu Qian, being a woman, was more compliant as a subordinate than Zhang Wu and accepted Xiao Mu's command without any hesitation.

"Group Leader Zhao."

Xiao Mu finally arranged Zhao Ren's work, his gaze lingering on Zhao Ren for a moment, "You're in charge of the warehouse work, mainly concerning the resource allocation and approval issues. The same old rule applies, as long as there's no dispatch of a large quantity or high-level resources, you can make decisions on your own, otherwise consult with me before doing so."

"Yes, Group Leader Xiao, I will strictly follow your arrangement."

When Zhao Ren saw that Zhu Qian and Zhang Wu had no objections to Xiao Mu's arrangements, he naturally wouldn't raise any objections either.

The world of Mutated Beings is ultimately different from the mundane world, where ordinary people might engage in a struggle for power over mundane work, with open and secret battles, but Mutated Beings rarely do so.

Not to mention, during the critical period of an enemy invasion, more power also means more responsibility, and no one is likely to fuss over such administrative powers.

Xiao Mu's work arrangements were smoothly put into action.

"Now, I need to find a way, first and foremost is to increase the reserve of materials in the warehouse, especially the Energy Fruits. These are strategic resources that must not be overlooked."

"Secondly, it's the various resource problems of Divine Weapons, Divine Treasures, and fragments of Divine Treasures."

"Thirdly, it's finding ways to improve the technical level of the craftsmen, including physicians, casting masters, and array masters."

"I also need to find a way to get some Secret Manuals."

"Why do I feel like I've been trapped by the great chief? I haven't gained any benefits, and yet I've already started to work for the Great Tang Ruins."

Xiao Mu was slightly annoyed in his heart, feeling that he had been trapped by Wu Jie, but he was not angry, after all, Wu Jie was not acting for personal gain, but for the entire Great Tang Ruins, which made it hard for him to be angry.

Thinking of how to enhance the reserve of Energy Fruits in the Great Tang Ruins, Xiao Mu first thought of the plantation.

Thinking of the plantation, he immediately thought of Zhao Qian.

"Zhao Qian is good at planting, and every now and then he would conduct some strange experiments, perhaps, I should invite him to work at the Planting Base."

"However, Zhao Qian is too crazy, and the experiments he does are too aggressive, it's acceptable to let him work in the Planting Base, but I can't hand over the management of the Planting Base to him."

"Let's go visit Zhao Qian then."

Thinking this, Xiao Mu decided to visit Zhao Qian to see if he could help with the cultivation of the Energy Fruits.

Leaving the Logistics Department and heading to Solitary Straight Mountain, Xiao Mu did not see Zhao Qian at the experimental field at the foot of Solitary Straight Mountain, guessing that Zhao Qian was most likely conducting experiments in the laboratory, he directly went to Zhao Qian's laboratory.

Upon arriving at the laboratory, Xiao Mu had intended to use the doorbell to notify Zhao Qian, but considering that Zhao Qian, that madman, once engrossed in his experiments would become completely oblivious to everything else, he went directly into the laboratory.

Since the foot of Solitary Straight Mountain in the Great Tang Ruins was Wu Jie's territory, it was basically the safest place in the entire Great Tang Ruins, so Zhao Qian's unguarded method did not cause him any trouble.

As expected, Zhao Qian was conducting experiments in the laboratory.

When Xiao Mu arrived at the laboratory, Zhao Qian was standing in front of a microscope, manipulating something in a petri dish with two exceedingly fine tweezer-like tools.

Xiao Mu found a place to sit down without disturbing Zhao Qian.

After more than an hour, Zhao Qian suddenly relaxed and straightened up.

"Brother Zhao, it looks like you've made a new discovery, congratulations!"

Xiao Mu hurried to congratulate Zhao Qian, taking the opportunity to greet him in time lest he re-enter his experimental state.

"Is it Brother Xiao? What brings you here?"

Zhao Qian was surprised by Xiao Mu's appearance, but quickly showed joy at his visit, "It's coincidental, Brother Xiao, I've recently been researching adding offensive methods to the roots of mutating plants, making the roots capable of employing some sort of offensive Divine Techniques inside the target once implanted."

Making the roots of the mutated plants capable of executing offensive Divine Techniques?

Zhao Qian's words made Xiao Mu inwardly shudder with a chill. This experiment was too sinister, too evil.

Zhao Qian's roots of the mutated plants already integrated the Hongmeng Purple Qi, changing the target into a state of ignorance before Heaven and Earth were differentiated, directly obscuring all sensory detection.

If the roots of the mutated plants could also execute various offensive Divine Techniques, even the True Gods might not be able to evade them.
