The token took shape, and a snow-white goat appeared in front of Chen Lin.
Chen Lin immediately activated the jade bracelet, forming a layer of rosy gauze on his body, and was ready to activate the Thunder God Sword at any time.
"Oh, what a beautiful gauze dress. This treasure is great. Do you want to sell it?"
The snow-white goat's eyes lit up when he looked at Chen Lin's jade bracelet.
Chen Lin didn't say anything, but stepped back.
"Don't worry, I'm your immediate superior, I won't steal your things, and you're now a public servant, even though it's only the lowest third-class, it's still a status recognized by the demon world, there's no benefit in killing you."
"tolerance?"
Chen Lin was stunned.
Then he looked at the other party suspiciously and said, "I wonder what your name is, and why do you want me to be the shepherd?"
What he was most worried about was that once he became this shepherd, he would become a creature of the demon world and would never be able to leave it.
"As for me, my name is Gege Yun, the manager of this Baiyun Ranch."
The snow-white goat did not hide anything and explained directly, then continued: "Although this ranch is not big, it is a royal ranch, and I am also a ninth-rank official. If you work hard, you can also be an official if you take over my place, hehe."
"As for why I let you take this position, it's because you have met the criteria for the assessment. Don't underestimate the position of shepherd, it is the dream of countless people. It's just that something happened in the demon world. If it were in the past, you wouldn't even dream of getting the chance. How dare you be grateful!"
After saying that, the snow-white goat kept glancing at Chen Lin's jade bracelet, as if to say that you should repay your kindness as soon as possible.
Chen Lin remained unmoved.
He couldn't be sure whether the other party's words were true or false, so it was naturally impossible for him to hand over the treasure.
Pretending not to notice, he continued to ask, "What are the benefits of my identity? What are the restrictions? Can I still leave the demon world?"
The snow-white goat curled its lips, very unhappy with Chen Lin's rudeness.
But he seemed to be restricted by the rules and did not ignore Chen Lin. Instead, he continued to introduce: "Of course there are many benefits. You are in charge of such a large area of sheep. Isn't that impressive?"
Chen Lin did not react and looked at the other party calmly.
After all this talk, he is just a shepherd. Even if he is a shepherd from the demon world, he is just a sheepherder.
Seeing Chen Lin's attitude, the Snow White Goat said, "And there's a salary!"
"How many?"
Chen Lin's eyes lit up.
The salary in the demon world must be in magic coins. If you can earn magic coins, this position is not bad.
"One magic coin per month."
Chen Lin was speechless.
Only one magic coin a month, this salary is really low, but one is not bad. It’s free anyway, so why not miss it.
He immediately asked, "Where do I need to go to get it?"
The snow-white goat tilted its head and said, "It will be delivered to you via the identity token when the time comes. You don't have to worry about it."
He continued, "Everything in the demon world is governed by rules. No one can deduct your things, and no one can order you around. The only difference is the authority. Your job is to manage the sheep here. You can leave or stay as you please. But if a sheep runs away, you will be punished. If one sheep runs away, you will be fined 100 magic coins. If too many sheep run away, you will lose your job and may even be subject to more severe punishment."
Chen Lin's heart trembled. Just as he was about to ask again, he saw the other party's figure slowly fade away.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that I could find a replacement. Just stay here and herd the sheep. I'm leaving!"
The snow-white goat laughed heartily.
As the voice gradually faded, the other party disappeared completely.
Chen Lin frowned.
He still had a lot of questions, and now that the other party was gone, no one could answer them for him.
But it did make him relax. This Gege Yun was extremely mysterious and it was quite stressful to come into contact with her.
After thinking for a while, Chen Lin took a breath, put aside his distracting thoughts, and looked around.
After patrolling the grassland first and seeing nothing unusual, he came to the node.
The most important thing at the moment is to make sure whether he can leave. If he can't leave, then he is in danger of being trapped here and dying. He doesn't have the ability of Gege Yun.
After slowly extending his hand to the node to test it, Chen Lin's face immediately showed joy.
The invisible barrier disappeared!
It was obvious that he had already completed the rules and tasks here, and even exceeded them, so he could leave at any time.
But he did not act rashly.
According to Gege Yun, if any sheep here run away, he will be responsible. He will be fined 100 magic coins for each sheep. If too many are lost, there will be heavier punishments. It is also possible that they will be wiped out directly.
Therefore, it is better to stay here until you understand the rules of this place clearly.
Chen Lin waited until the node disappeared, flew to the hill where he had always used it as a resting place, and took out the shepherd's order.
The token looks like it's made of wood, but in fact it's not. Instead, it's made of condensed energy and has a very mysterious connection with him, as if it's a part of his body.
After thinking for a while, he put the token far away, and then with a thought, the token returned to his hand.
“Interesting!”
Chen Lin nodded. It seemed that the identity token had been bound to him, so he didn't have to worry about losing it. However, whether it had such a feature in the real world would require further testing to confirm.
After studying it for a while, he tried to inject magic power into it.
But there was no effect.
Then he tried his soul power again, and the token reacted immediately. A black light flashed and entered his forehead at such a fast speed that he didn't even have time to dodge.
Chen Lin was startled, but immediately felt relieved.
Wu Guang was a stream of information, and its content was the rights and obligations of his position. It was not as comprehensive as what Na Gege Yun said, but it was more detailed in terms of responsibilities.
in addition.
There is also a small space inside the token, which must be used for distributing salaries.
After organizing the information he had obtained, he flew down from the top of the mountain and came to the red flock of sheep.
The head sheep immediately came up to try to please, and seemed even more obedient than before.
Looking at the old face on the sheep's head, Chen Lin felt mixed emotions.
It can now be concluded that these sheep are the transformations of people who have entered this scene, including the ancient cultivator in the underground cave.
Unfortunately, these sheep are restricted by the rules and have lost their original consciousness. If they could communicate, they would be able to gain a lot of benefits from them. In the ancient cultivation period, the cultivation civilization was prosperous, and a little inheritance would be of great benefit.
He nodded to the head sheep to show his concern, and then Chen Lin came to Fat Tiger.
"Owner!"
Fat Tiger shook his head, suddenly stood up and returned to his original appearance.
Chen Lin was delighted when he saw this.
It seems that the rules of the contract between him and Fat Tiger are still effective. Once he completes the task, Fat Tiger will be free from the restrictions of the rules here.
"How is it, has your memory returned?"
He confirmed again.
"Reporting to the master, I have recovered. I was not able to complete the master's task and caused the master to worry."
Fat Tiger looked a little depressed, as if he had done something wrong.
"It doesn't matter. Some things are beyond our control. As long as we are alive, that's fine."
Chen Lin shook his head.
The power of the rules in the silver scene is stronger and more dangerous, and it will be difficult for anyone to survive.
Changing the subject, he looked at the other person and said, "But I may have to rely on you to help me herd sheep here in the future."
Then, Chen Lin briefly explained the situation to the other party.
Fat Tiger didn't mind it at all. He used to spend most of his time in the Demon Realm woods, which wasn't as spacious as this place. Besides, there were so many sheep here, so he wasn't too lonely.
But after thinking about it, he still made a request: "Master, can you help me refine another Taoist companion? The previous one was not very effective and was broken."
Chen Lin's mouth twitched, and he nodded, "Okay, my weapon refining skills have improved, so I'll refine a weapon with higher spirituality for you this time."
"Thank you, Master!"
Fat Tiger suddenly became excited.
Chen Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After the other party calmed down, he began to give instructions, repeating them countless times until he was sure that the other party would not forget.
If one sheep is missing, he will be fined one hundred magic coins, which he cannot afford.
"I remember, Master, there will be no mistakes!"
Fat Tiger patted his chest and made the promise.
However, Chen Lin did not dare to completely trust the other party, so he decided to observe for a while and let go only after making sure there was no problem.
However, there is only one node here, and these sheep are still restricted by the rules. It is unlikely that they can run away, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
The main concern is that these sheep will fight. If any of them are killed, it will be considered lost and they will be punished as well.
Next, Chen Lin called all the leaders together and appointed Fat Tiger as his deputy, requiring them to listen to Fat Tiger when he was away.
With the shepherding order, the sheep became more obedient and had no intention of resisting.
After finishing the work, Chen Lin came to the node, broke it open, took out the crow puppet to investigate, and then left the demon world.
Underground cave.
Looking at the room in front of him, Chen Lin felt as if he was in another world.
Who would have thought that this exploration would take more than two years and involve the identity of a shepherd.
Until now, he still hasn't figured out what the benefits of this identity are, but it does bring him a lot of responsibilities. If it weren't for Fat Tiger, a contracted creature recognized by the demon world, he would have really been trapped in that scene.
But even with Fat Tiger in there, we can't say we can rest completely safe.
Fat Tiger's strength is still a little lacking. If any sheep really breaks the rules, the other party may not be able to deal with it. It would be better if Xiaocao and Hua Ruyu were here.
Thinking of these two people, Chen Lin took out the two boxes from the space bag and opened them carefully.
A blade of grass and a tricolor flower were lying quietly inside, making the figures of the two people appear before his eyes.
After looking at it for a while, he sighed, then carefully closed it and put it away.
Although both of them have recovered a little, they are still a long way from being resurrected. Without a special opportunity, it may take decades for them to recover.
But no matter what, it’s good that the origin has not dissipated.
Once his thoughts started to flow, they could not be controlled. Then the figures of Luo Qinglan and others appeared in Chen Lin's mind again, as well as Qin Lingyu, Princess Qinghua and the others. He didn't know what had happened to them.
"well!"
In the end, all the longing turned into a sigh.
