Inspectorate.

Huang Hao pointed out that it was Zhai Feng and a few people who asked him to spread the rumors.

Zhai Feng and Huang Qifeng also admitted it, but they resolutely did not admit that they had slandered other people, they were just to target Chen Yong and Wu Jia.

These two are different!

slandering Chen Yong and Wu Jia is a personal vendetta, a personal grudge, spreading rumors and disrespecting the teacher, and the crime will not lead to death.

But now that the matter is so big, it even involves the entire Great Xia Mansion, once the crime is confirmed, it is really possible to die.

Interrogation room.

Huang Qifeng's face turned pale, and he said loudly: "Fellow elders, we really don't mean to slander and slander other pavilion elders and schools, Huang Hao is lying, he is deceiving people, we don't!"

Qiu Yun had already lost her face, and hurriedly looked at Zhou Mingren over there, "Master, we really don't have it, we're not crazy, we will do it against Wu Jia and them, but other pavilion elders, we have no reason to anger the pavilion elders!"

Several elders ignored them.

Qi Ge Lao looked at the several pavilion elders who came to supervise with him, then looked at Huang Lao, and said in a deep voice: "Huang Hao didn't lie, these people ...... Didn't lie either. ”

Yes, they are not stupid and can tell.

That's why something went wrong!

But no matter what, these people did create rumors and slander Chen Yong, no matter how Chen Yong said it, he was also a strong man of Lingyun Jiuzhong, the director of the Library Pavilion, even if he only slandered Chen Yong, now that the evidence is conclusive, he will have to bear the punishment.

Over there, Zhou Mingren closed his eyes and didn't speak.

Huang Lao said in a deep voice: "These people dare to slander Chen Yong for no reason? There should be someone behind it!"

Qi Ge Lao glanced at him, didn't say anything more, looked at Zhai Feng and the others, and said lightly: "You create rumors, who asked you to do it?"

"Nobody ......"

"Let's talk about it after thinking about it!"

Qi Ge Lao said calmly: "A researcher slanders a colleague, it's not a big deal. A student slanders a high-ranking student, that's a big deal!"

It's the truth.

This is an era where strength is respected!

Cultivating and slandering Ling Yun and Ling Yun slandering Ling Yun are not the same.

At this moment, Zhou Mingren suddenly opened his eyes and said lightly: "I ordered it, I just asked them to find a way to deal with Wu Jia and take the position of Director Chen Yong, as for the rumors, I didn't think much about it." ”

Qi Ge Lao and Huang Lao looked at him instantly!

Huang Lao said coldly: "Governor Zhou, you have to be responsible when you speak!"

Several people actually vaguely guessed that it should not be Zhou Mingren's mastermind, it was Zhou Pingsheng's idiot!

Yu Hong and Sun Ge also looked at him, and Zhou Mingren said calmly: "I will naturally be responsible, this matter was caused by me unintentionally, I will take this responsibility, I will resign from the post of deputy head of the academy, are you still satisfied with this punishment?"

He wants to resign from the post of deputy governor!

Several pavilion elders frowned, what is the difference between the deputy governor and the pavilion elders?

The biggest difference is that once the Ten Thousand Heavenly Saints fall, or no longer serve as the governors, these deputy governors are qualified to lead the entire Great Xia Civilization Academy.

On the other hand, the deputy governor is qualified to meddle in the affairs of other colleges.

For example, the academies of Divine Pill and Divine Rune, the deputy governor is also qualified to participate in them.

And now, Zhou Mingren resigned, which means that he will only be in charge of the seminary in the future, and will no longer interfere in other affairs of the school, and the loss is still very large.

Huang Lao's eyes were cold, and he glanced at Zhou Mingren, "Governor Zhou, you have to be responsible when you speak! It's not a good choice to replace others, you are the deputy governor, if you really want to say that you did it, then we can't continue to investigate......"

Zhou Mingren has admitted it, how can he check?

Even if Zhou Pingsheng was found, the other party said that Zhou Mingren said that dealing with a Lingyun is not as simple as dealing with a cultivator.

They can see that they are lying or not, and when they take off, even the sun and the moon are difficult to see.

The willpower of the air is manifested, and the intensity is greatly increased, and it will not be so simple at that time.

Zhou Mingren was as calm as water, "I said, I ordered it to go down, how to punish and how to punish, what else do you want to know?"

Qi Ge Lao frowned!

glanced at Zhou Mingren, frowned, and said: "Old Zhou, there are some things that you and I know in our hearts, we are all people who want to enter the mountains and seas and even enter the sun and the moon, and there are some small means, which are really boring! When Zheng Yuming is here, what to do, at least everything is in line with the rules, you are messy but not chaotic, at least there are rules...... Now, huh!"

Zhou Mingren's heart ached.

Don't I know?

I know!

However, don't you know who Yuming was deposed?

Elder Huang glanced at Zhou Mingren and regained his composure, "Since Governor Zhou has admitted that he is the mastermind, Governor Zhou's side will be handed over to Governor Wan to open a meeting of elders to decide! As for Zhai Feng's group of people......

Zhou Mingren is willing to bear this black cauldron, and now he is not sure whether they passed on Chen Yong alone or everyone......

Huang Lao pondered for a moment and said: "Huang Hao, these executors, have ruined the reputation of the school and slandered the teacher, from today onwards, the school will be deprived of all benefits and the right to enter the secret realm, and the library and library will be forbidden...... Another 30 lashes, 100 confiscation points for meritorious service, and a major demerit in the file!"

A few people were silent.

Huang Lao continued: "Zhai Feng, Huang Qifeng, and Qiu Yun, as rumor-mongers, will be punished with 100 lashes, 1,000 meritorious points, and deprived of all authority in ......the academy."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Mingren sighed: "I instructed them, they are only executors, they can be whipped, demerits can also be demerited, and all authority can be deprived...... They are all top 100 students, vacate the preparatory students, and hope that the Inspectorate will forgive them as appropriate. ”

Deprivation of permission, that means that the next trip to the secret realm of knowing the sea will not have their share.

The whipping was much more painful than expected.

Demerits, it will be a big trouble in the future.

The forfeiture of 1,000 merit points is also a large amount.

However, all this did not deprive them of all their authority, which meant that they would lose a lot of opportunities in the academy.

Why do you want to study in order to get these rights?

Once deprived, it is equivalent to being expelled from the academy in disguise, these people are all elites of the single god and literature department, and they are all destroyed at one time, the loss is too heavy!

Huang Lao said calmly: "This is their own fault! At least, I have reserved the right for them to stay in the academy, and if they have great merit in the future, they can offset this punishment!"

"Great work?"

Zhou Mingren was silent for a while, and then said, "Is it a great achievement to exterminate the Ten Thousand Clans Sect stronghold?"

"Count!"

Huang Lao's eyes flashed and said: "Governor Zhou has to think about it, meritorious deeds cannot be transferred privately!

"I know!"

Zhou Mingren looked at Zhai Feng and the others, and said softly: "There is still a chance, the Great Xia Mansion is heavy, a few of you, it is not far from the sky, as long as you exterminate a few Ten Thousand Clan Sect strongholds, the merits and demerits will be offset, and there is still a chance to offset all this today!"

A sigh in my heart!

Heavy losses!

A bunch of idiots!

As for himself, he lost the post of deputy governor, and if he lost it, he lost it.

At this time, it is time to shrink the tentacles of the single god line.

Before he was strong, he could meddle in the affairs of other academies, but now, he is also weak.

Huang Lao didn't care about him, and continued: "Other...... Zhou Pingsheng, Yang Chao, Min He...... If the believer has no way, he will be suspended for one year of meritorious service, and he shall not apply for a professional title promotion assessment for three years......"

"Huang Chen!"

Zhou Mingren looked at Huang Lao suddenly, and said with a change in his eyes: "They don't know anything about this, they can be fined for one year, and they can't apply for the title promotion assessment for three years, is it too much?"

You can't apply for promotion within three years, which means that even if Zhou Ping is promoted to the curator and becomes the pulse master, it is impossible to become a pavilion elder.

Because, Ge Lao also needs the title of senior researcher at the very least.

And Zhou Pingsheng doesn't have this opportunity.

Huang Lao glanced at him and said lightly: "If Governor Zhou has any dissatisfaction, you can appeal! Now, the punishment made by the Inspectorate is already for the sake of Governor Zhou's face, and the punishment is light!"

Zhou Mingren frowned and stopped talking.

Within three years...... Many researchers have not been able to apply for title promotions.

Not only Zhou Pingsheng, but also several other researchers, some of whom are also in the stage of promotion, so that the discourse power of the single god will be further reduced.

He glanced at Huang Chen, and his face was a little not good-looking.

In the past, the Inspectorate was not like this.

Huang Lao ignored him and continued: "In addition, the students have bad temperaments, and as teachers, they have a great responsibility! At the end of this year, the inspection of the academy will be investigated to the end, and the inspectorate also wants to see where the researchers of the academy are thinking!"

As soon as these words came out, Yu Hong and several people also changed color, and Yu Hong shouted: "Huang Chen, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean?"

Huang Lao looked at her and said lightly: "Inspector! Don't you understand? The duties of the Inspectorate! Yu Hongge always wants to interfere with the affairs of the Inspectorate? Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid! I hope that after you go back, you will supervise others well! This year's inspection will be thoroughly investigated! Including the government treasury, accounts, school hours, research projects, and fund accounts...... will be thoroughly investigated!"

Huang Lao said coldly: "I want to see why there is still a lack of funds and students are hard to find in the academy every year! The Great Xia Civilization Academy, I think there should be no shortage of money! Including the text of will, even if the students can't observe it every day, once a week or two weeks, it is still possible, and now, many students, half a year or even a year, have shown signs of being penniless!"

"Including the Divine Pill Department, the Divine Rune Department, the Armor Casting Department, and the Beast Taming Department...... It's best to go back and self-check yourself, don't wait until the end of the year to conduct a thorough inspection, and be caught by me!"

Huang Lao looked at everyone and said coldly: "I hope that at the end of the year, I can still see the figure of all the pavilion elders! Don't be at that time, you will be directly punished to the pioneer camp and deprived of the title of pavilion elder, it will be a shame!"

As soon as these words came out, several pavilion elders changed color.

Including the elders who supervised together, their faces also changed.

Huang Chen, this guy didn't do this before!

Huang Lao's face was indifferent, "Everyone, remember the lesson! In addition, the cabinet elder meeting will give a plan as soon as possible, and I will notify all parties, whip the students, punish them in public, and let the outside world see, the Great Xia Civilization Academy, there are still rules! Fight, you can fight, don't exceed the rules! Once this bottom line is exceeded, severe punishment will not be granted!"

The crowd was silent.

Punishment in public, whipping in public.

At the end of the year, the inspector will carry out a big inspection!

This incident, one thing, will change the power structure of the entire university.

......

The Inspectorate is moving very fast, and the Great Xia Civilization Academy is also moving very fast!

On the afternoon of the 15th, the punishment plan came out!

Open to the entire Great Xia Mansion!

Zhou Mingren, as a half-step powerhouse of the sun and moon, and the deputy governor of the Great Xia Civilization Academy, bore the brunt of it and became the focus of everyone's attention.

Zhou Mingren was fined for three years and deprived of the post of deputy governor.

Zhou Pingsheng was fined for one year, and he was not allowed to be promoted within three years, with one demerit.

Zhai Feng and Huang Qifeng were sentenced to 100 lashes, fined 1,000 meritorious points, and deprived of all the rights and benefits of the university.

Huang Hao and these people are also punished.

Including some students who spread rumors, they were also punished with meritorious deeds, as little as a few points, as many as 100 points, and some of the students who spread a large number of people were dealt with with demerits, and even deprived of some secret realm entry rights.

......

As soon as the news came out, it shook all directions.

It's nothing that the trainees are punished!

The point is that a half-step Sun and Moon Realm powerhouse was actually deprived of the position of deputy governor, which is not a trivial matter, and the half-step Sun and Moon is also the top high-level powerhouse of the Great Xia Mansion.

Because of a rumor, he almost ruined a top powerhouse.

The Daxia Civilization School was vigorous and resolute, and the results were given in just half a day, which also made the melon-eating masses in Daxia Mansion look very lively!

The point is that it's a shame!

Zhou Mingren, a half-step sun and moon powerhouse, was actually involved in spreading rumors, which was a major blow to his reputation.

Fines and meritorious deeds...... These losses seem insignificant at the moment.

......

Afternoon.

Mission area.

There are so many people, today, we will be punished with whipping in public!

On the huge square, teachers and students surrounded the entire square.

Chen Yong also came, took Wu Jia with him, and looked at the students in the square with an indifferent face.

Not far away, Zhou Pingsheng's face turned pale.

Several of his students are all there at the moment.

The teacher was punished, he himself was punished, and his students were punished for meritorious service and public whipping, which was simply shameless for Zhou Pingsheng!

Not only that, but this time, in the eyes of several elders, he has become a complete waste.

The teacher and several pavilion elders naturally knew who was the mastermind.

Zhou Pingsheng looked at the students who fell to the ground, panicked and angry at the same time!

He just asked these bastards to solve Wu Jia, why did it come to be like this?

Attract the attention of the entire academy and even the powerhouses of Daxia Mansion!

Year-end clearance!

What does this mean?

It means that they have to make up all the shortfalls this year, there are too many, and the losses are so heavy that they are not comparable to the thousands of meritorious deeds confiscated.

Not to mention anything else, a single library pavilion must at least fill the deficit of more than 30,000 meritorious points!

There are other places to go!

Including the academy treasury, research institutes, mission offices, exchange offices......

The entire single god literature series, after a brief inventory today, at least 200,000 meritorious points must be made up!

And before that, they had already lost hundreds of thousands of meritorious points!

From now on, the Shan Shenwen family will really have to tighten their belts and live.

Some institutes had to be abandoned.

Some projects had to be stopped.

This is still a monetary loss, once something is verified, it is likely that some of the researchers will be sent to the pioneer camp, and if they are lucky, they will come back alive, but if they are unlucky...... I can only die on the battlefield of the heavens!

Now, the researchers of the Monotheistic Department hate him to death!

Not only the Shan Shenwen Department, but also the researchers of other factions in the academy were extremely hostile when they saw him!

Because of his actions, many researchers were terrified!

Trembled!

Why?

Before today, he was still thinking about becoming a vein master, curator, and pavilion elder this year!

And now, everything is in the mirror!

On the square, Huang Lao, as the president of the Inspectorate, appeared in front of everyone for the first time.

A cold shout came: "Execution!"

"Smack!"

Several guards riveted their strength and whipped out!

"Ahh

The screams continued one after another, and on the backs of the students, blood marks appeared, and the skin and flesh were cracked!

Huang Lao looked around and said coldly: "In the academy, there are still rules! There are rules in the army, the Great Xia Mansion has the rules of the Great Xia Mansion, and the Great Xia Civilization Academy also has the rules of the Great Xia Civilization Academy!"

"Whether it's a student or a researcher, you have to obey the rules!"

"The human race can stand as one of the top ten races, just because of this, there are no rules, there is chaos on the battlefield, and there is still comfort now?"

"If there is no reward for merit, and no punishment for mistakes, who will contribute to the human race?"

"Hit!"

With a cold snort, those guards worked harder and harder!

The Inspectorate has inspectors in supervision!

If they don't use their strength, they will all be punished.

Blood splattered!

It is not allowed to use yuan power and willpower to resist, simply rely on the physical body to bear, the physical body of the civilized master is not too strong, and Huang Qifeng, who was injured before, is even more whipped down at this moment, and he is already unconscious.

Not only him, but the weaker students, such as Huang Hao, were completely unconscious at the moment, allowing the whip to draw blood marks on his body!

......

Periphery.

Chen Yong looked at it for a while, glanced at Zhou Pingsheng not far away, and turned around and left with Wu Jia.

Wu Jia whispered, "Master, don't you want to watch it?"

"Don't look at it, my mouth stinks, it's been cleaned up, I won't dare next time. Unfortunately, some people are not punished as they deserve. ”

Zhou Mingren?

Chen Yong glanced at a tall building in the distance, where a figure was standing.

Smiled, but a good teacher, for the sake of your students, even this sin has been shouldered.

On a high-rise building.

Zhou Mingren was also looking at him, his eyes were deep, Chen Yong ...... I'm underestimating you!

This time, the single god Wen family suffered heavy losses to the extreme.

Discredited!

Including him Zhou Mingren, as a half-step sun and moon powerhouse, such a strong person, in the entire human realm, will rarely be punished publicly, and he ...... Created a precedent for Daxia Mansion!

Zhou Mingren didn't look at Chen Yong again, but looked at the person sitting on the chair next to him, and said softly: "Yuming, you say, is the Shan Shenwen series abolished? There are so many people, even a few people can't fight ......."

The old one can't fight Hong Tan, the next generation can't fight Chen Yong, the sky can't fight Bai Feng, and the students can't fight Su Yu......

How many people are overwhelming?

Did it work?

A few people in the family have made you go around, the mountains and seas have been abolished, the governor has been deprived, the researcher has not been promoted, and the students have been publicly whipped!

And that huge deficit!

Once these shortfalls are made up, it will be difficult for them to even open the secret realm this time, but they will not open the secret realm...... can't explain, at this moment, it's not that they can't open it if they can't think about it, and those pavilion elders who get the quota won't agree!

But once the secret realm is opened, Zhai Feng and these people are not allowed to enter, the key is that it costs a lot of money, and it will also consume all their savings.

Zheng Yuming sighed lightly, and said helplessly: "Teacher, we underestimate those guys! Now that we have been tricked, not only that, but we have also offended many people from other factions, especially this year-end clean-up ......."

Zhou Mingren nodded, yes, this is moving everyone's interests, but others will not resent the Inspectorate, they will only feel that it is the trouble caused by their monotheistic lineage.

Otherwise, the Inspectorate will do a good job of making a big investigation!

"Teacher, the merits are gone, the materials are gone, these can be solved...... Find the Great Zhou Mansion to ask for it!"

Zheng Yuming gritted his teeth and said, "Over there in the Great Zhou Mansion, we have to provide these losses to make up for our losses!"

Zhou Mingren was silent for a while and nodded slightly.

"In addition, Ma and Fang, the two elders, recall them......"

"Lao Ma was punished to go to the Shanhai Pioneer Camp! It just so happens that I can take care of you, and I will find a way to recall you!"

"Ma Lao was sent to the pioneer camp?"

Zheng Yuming didn't know about it yet, Zhou Mingren nodded and said: "The day Hong Tan came out, he was punished, it just so happened that I wanted them to take care of you alone, there is no reason yet, and now it's not bad!"

"I'm dragging the teacher down!"

Zheng Yuming sighed.

Zhou Mingren said lightly: "No, last time were you sure that Chen Yong calculated you?"

"It should be him!"

Zheng Yuming sighed: "I was watching the battle at the time, what I saw was not that Qifeng was injured, but that he was already dead and tortured, and I was so angry that I was ready to ask for an explanation, but the result was ......."

"Can he interfere with your will?"

"Yes!"

Zheng Yuming nodded, "He was the strongest one on the side of the top 100 at that time, it wasn't for him to interfere, no one could do it! He should have created an illusion for me, not necessarily to interfere with me, but to interfere with a small area of the ring!"

Zhou Mingren nodded and didn't ask any more.

There is no evidence for this, and it is useless for Zheng Yuming to say it.

Just like this time, Huang Hao's memory has definitely been tampered with a little, but there is no evidence, unless an invincible person comes to investigate deeply, otherwise, there is no evidence, what can he say?

It is impossible to attack a Lingyun Jiuzhong without evidence!

What's more, Hong Tan is still in the academy.

"Teacher, the polytheistic department has been dormant before, but since the beginning of this year, it has repeatedly counterattacked, is it from the side of the Great Zhou Mansion...... Can't hold it back?"

Zhou Mingren said softly: "It's been fifty years, it's not that it can't be suppressed, but it's suppressed to the limit! Liu Wenyan and these people have returned one after another, and Hong Tan is about to be promoted...... Coupled with the fact that there are people behind the scenes, it will make the polytheistic series continue to fight back......"

"That ......"

Zheng Yuming was silent for a while, and then said, "Do we want to continue?"

"Go on!"

Zhou Mingren said softly: "This is our opportunity! If there is no polytheistic system, there will be no glory we have now! If we can't suppress the polytheistic system, then we will lose a lot of things......"

Zheng Yuming nodded and said, "Then continue to suppress them! At least we can't let the polytheistic department stand again, teacher, we should fight for more things from the Great Zhou Mansion, otherwise, we will be unable to continue!"

"You don't need to say this, Shan Tianhao was killed, Zhou Polong will not give up! Daxia Mansion is not his territory, he can only rely on us!"

Zhou Mingren said, and said: "Since you don't want to use the secret realm for our people, then borrow it! Let the Great Zhou Mansion send a few Eternal Divine Texts over!"

Zheng Yuming's eyes flickered, and the teacher ...... Quite an appetite!

"The text of the soldiers, the elixir, the exercises, and the will...... We're all going to do it!"

Zhou Mingren said lightly: "This time we have lost too much, so we can only let them contribute!"

Zheng Yuming nodded and did not speak again.

Zhou Mingren suddenly said: "The pulse master, who do you think is more suitable?"

Zheng Yuming glanced at Zhou Pingsheng in the distance, and sighed, his junior brother is embarrassed, obviously not good!

"Let's not set up a pulse master for now, but you can find a few people to take charge of ......"

"How is Liu Hong?" Zhou Mingren said suddenly.

Zheng Yuming frowned and said, "Teacher, he just vacated the air, and this person ...... Slippery ......"

"What you want is a treacherous mind!"

Zhou Mingren said calmly: "The others represent the interests of several other pavilion elders, Lao Zhao is in retreat, and Liu Hong is helpless...... Lingyun Realm can be managed by a few other pavilion elders, Liu Hong, how about the director vacating and vacating the air?"

Zheng Yuming said in a deep voice: "He can, the key is that I think his mind is not on suppressing anyone, but on improving himself, Liu Hong, a typical egoist, will only pay attention to what is beneficial to him." ”

"Then tie him to death, it will be beneficial to the single god line, it will be beneficial to him, and if it is not good for the single god line, then it will not be good for him!"

Zhou Mingren didn't care about these either, and said casually: "Everything, still rely on strength and research results to speak! Without strength, everything is empty." ”

Zheng Yuming nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Teacher, do you still want the position of the director of the library pavilion?"

"Chen Yong......"

Cast his eyes on Chen Yong, who was about to disappear over there, again, "Our people, don't make any more moves! Or within the rules, don't catch people anymore, I'll go back to Xia Yuwen...... If he doesn't fight, then he won't fight for this position!"

Xia Yuwen's injury is almost healed.

Now it was not the physical wound that struck him, but the mental wound.

Bai Feng's sword destroyed his faith!

That's the scariest thing!

Bai Feng, who vacated the eightfold and defeated him, this was the biggest blow to Xia Yuwen, if Bai Feng was Lingyun Triple, it would not make Xia Yuwen's heart like ashes.

Zheng Yuming nodded and said no more.

Next month, he will have to leave the academy, and so far, his injuries have not healed, the main god is broken, and he doesn't know if there is a chance to get out of the battlefield of the heavens alive.

The two of them said a few more words, and finally, Zhou Mingren suddenly said: "The news spread all over the Great Xia Mansion overnight! There are only a few people in the Duoshen Literature Department? Even if Huang Hao's memory is tampered with, it is easy to say in the academy that there are still people outside the academy who are planning against Chen Yong!"

Zheng Yuming moved slightly, nodded and said, "Definitely!"

"The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff! There are many gods, it seems that there are still some people outside, this time Chen Yong has also exposed some of them, follow this line, check down, I also want to see how many people are still dormant!"

As he spoke, Zheng Yuming suddenly said, "Teacher, take a good look at Senior Brother Zhou!"

"Huh?"

"That Wu Jia, when she was taken in, you also know the reason, before entering the house, it was Chen Yong who had been sponsoring her studies, and Chen Yong was raised as a daughter, and the junior brother committed his big taboo this time, I was worried that something would happen to the junior brother. ”

Zhou Mingren frowned, looked at Chen Yong, and did not make a sound.

After a long time, he suddenly said faintly: "Pingsheng is dead, can the governor of Wan Mansion still take it seriously?"

Zheng Yuming's heart shook!

But he didn't dare to say anything!

What is the ...... There are so many meanings!

Teacher...... He...... Do you want to ......

Zhou Mingren had already turned around and left, and said in a faint voice: "There is more than enough success and more failure!" Of course, your teacher is not so ruthless, but I am going to retreat next, just forget it, if he continues to be stupid, I can't save him!"

Use Zhou Pingsheng for Chen Yong!

Zheng Yuming's face was a little strange, and he was silent, is it worth it?

It's worth it!
