Godslayer: My Forbidden Ruins Master

"We... have a monthly salary of 50,000 here? Room and board included? And year-end bonuses and weekends off? I... how come I didn't know?"

Hongying looked at Wu Xiangnan and the others with a puzzled expression.

The others also looked bewildered.

"Ahem, ahem, I made the decision for the captain. Brother Lu Xuan is definitely worth the price!"

"I've really struck gold for our team this time, so I'm definitely going to have the captain cook me a delicious meal today to reward me!!"

Zhao Kongcheng grinned and chuckled.

"Summon heroic spirits?"

Wu Xiangnan frowned slightly, as if she had thought of something, and looked at Lu Xuan, trying to figure out what was going on.

"But the terms and benefits they're offering are way too good, aren't they?"

"Yeah, it's not up to you, Lao Zhao, to make decisions for our team yet."

"Fifty thousand...that's a bit expensive, little brother. Can you make it cheaper? Our team is really tight on funds right now..."

……

Several people started talking all at once, partly because it seemed inappropriate to speak freely in front of Lu Xuan.

to be honest.

No one present received the same treatment as Lu Xuan.

This is already considered being treated like royalty.

"His heroic spirit is Kawakami."

Zhao Kongcheng said smugly.

"..."

The scene fell silent once again.

Hongying's little mouth opened wide again, forming an "O" shape.

Chuanjing!

A captain-level existence!

No wonder Zhao Kongcheng was so smug; anyone else would have something to brag about for a long time if this happened to them.

"Young man, have some tea."

"Have some fruit, Lu Xuan."

"Little brother, this place offers room and board, a hundred rooms included!"

……

Everyone's expression changed instantly, and they all grinned broadly.

My precious little darling!

This is absolutely a treasure.

A strongman from the Sichuan region would be highly sought after by any team.

Old Zhao really hit the jackpot!

Upon waking up, he was already at the River Realm level in the Divine Ruins, which was truly astonishing.

"Ahem, but Brother Lu Xuan is only at the Zhan Realm, so everyone should take good care of him in the future."

Zhao Kongcheng added.

It turned out to be the case.

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Those who don't know better might think that powerful experts are now everywhere in the Sichuan region.

However, being able to summon the heroic spirits of the River Realm is also quite astonishing, meaning that there is at least one temporary member of the River Realm, which could almost be a lifesaver in critical moments.

Fifty thousand a month!

Buying life-saving insurance for all team members would be an absolutely worthwhile investment!

Just as everyone was about to ask for more information, the door was pushed open.

A man wearing a dark red cloak walked in.

His face was stained with blood, and his steps were heavy, as if he were made of lead.

Upon seeing him appear, everyone, including Lao Zhao, immediately stood up.

"The captain has arrived."

He quickly reminded Lu Xuan, who then stood up.

"What is this 'river realm and lamp realm'?"

Chen Muye glanced at the group, took off his blood-stained cloak, found a stool to sit on, and looked somewhat tired.

"It's Brother Zhao! He found a genius with forbidden abilities, Lu Xuan, who can summon the heroic spirits of the Sichuan region as allies in battle!"

Hongying said excitedly.

"Heroic Spirits of the River Realm?"

Hearing this, Chen Muyi also became a little unsettled, and he couldn't help but glance at Lu Xuan a few more times.

"Captain, I've already promised Lu Xuan a monthly salary of 50,000, including room and board, a year-end bonus, and a 9-to-5 work schedule."

Zhao Kongcheng quickly leaned in and explained the situation that day.

Chen Muye's gaze toward Lu Xuan grew even brighter.

A forbidden ruin that can summon the heroic spirits of the river realm?

Moreover, it is not found in any known forbidden sequence.

He seemed to have heard that one of the special teams had abilities somewhat similar to Lu Xuan's, yet different.

But anyway.

Lu Xuan has a clean background and is indeed a rare talent in the team.

Zhao Kongcheng has done a great service this time!

"Hello, Chen Muye, captain of Squad 136, welcome to our squad. All the conditions promised by Zhao Kongcheng will be fulfilled, but tonight may be a special case."

"Now that you're part of our team, you should attend this meeting as well."

Chen Muyi extended his hand.

"Lu Xuan, Captain."

Lu Xuan gently squeezed it.

Chen Muye nodded, naturally quite surprised and delighted by Lu Xuan's arrival.

But no matter what, Lu Xuan can't be considered a true master of the Chuan realm.

In his view, he was only slightly weaker than Lao Zhao.

Because Lu Xuan's own cultivation level was too low, only at the Zhan Realm, it meant that his heroic spirit would not last long.

There are more important things to do right now.

"The situation is not good; the Ghost-Faced King has escaped..."

Chen Muye's words froze the smiles on everyone's faces, and their hearts sank.

He explained the situation of the Ghost-Faced King in detail.

Yesterday, Chen Muyi severely injured Ghost Face King and originally intended to kill him, but that guy injured his own life force and ran away recklessly!

Deputy Captain Wu Xiangnan conducted an analysis.

He believed that the thing most likely hadn't left, because the Ghost-Faced King was seriously injured.

Moreover, as a monster, it needs to constantly eat people to recover!

The nearest city to Cangnan City is tens of kilometers away. Crossing the city would likely attract the attention of other teams, making the risk even higher.

Therefore, Wu Xiangnan deduced that Ghost Face King most likely did not escape.

And that guy is still hiding.

The most likely hidden area is—the sewers!

Because these masked creatures are naturally inclined to crawl into sewers and enjoy dark, damp, and smelly environments.

"Alright! Xiangnan, Hongying, and everyone else, this is a map of Cangnan City's sewer system. You will each be responsible for a specific area to conduct a thorough search! Xiangnan, you're in charge of this area, Hongying, this area..."

"Old Zhao, you're in charge of the old city area. Lu Xuan... you'll stay here and await further orders."

Chen Muye gave everyone their tasks, and when he looked at Lu Xuan, he ultimately chose to let him stay here.

"Captain, please let me team up with Brother Zhao. As a member of the team, I can't just stand by and watch everyone. Besides, with Brother Zhao by my side, everything will be fine. I eventually have to join the battle; I can't hide in the back forever. I hope you agree, Captain."

Lu Xuan took the initiative to speak.

Joining the battle was partly to repay a favor to Zhao Kongcheng, as I really couldn't bear to let that guy die.

After all, he's a handsome older man.

Another reason is naturally to earn Glory Coins by working.

Right now, I don't even have enough Honor Coins to buy another premium skin.

If you can hunt down the Ghost King, you might just become rich overnight.

"I didn't realize this little guy was so brave," Leng Xuan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Wu Xiangnan didn't speak, but simply pushed up his glasses.

"Hehe! Let's listen to Brother Lu Xuan. You guys are all frontline combatants, it's time for me to shine. With Brother Lu Xuan's help, I'll definitely be a frontline combatant too!"

Zhao Kongcheng grinned.

Leaving Lu Xuan here alone is not safe; it would be more convenient for him to stay with the veteran team members.

He also wanted to give Lu Xuan more guidance so that this young genius could grow better.

"Alright, let's arrange it like this. Old Zhao, if we encounter the Ghost Face King, you guys are responsible for distracting him and not engaging in direct combat. Lu Xuan has just joined the team, so we can't afford any problems."

Chen Muye confessed.

"Don't worry, Captain, I'm here! Hehe!"

Zhao Kongcheng smiled.
