Mythology Management System
Chapter 66: Rising to Power Through Merit
Fu Jiu glanced at Hua Heshang, Nangong Changwan, Lü Wende, and Zhao Ke'er, and said, "From now on, you will be the outer members of our Myth. We will help you improve your strength as quickly as possible."
"As long as you contribute enough to the organization, you will have the opportunity to become a full-fledged member and become stronger in the future."
As soon as Fu Jiu finished speaking, Nangong Changwan started shouting.
"What? I'm just an outsider?"
Nangong Changwan was dumbfounded. What were the peripheral members? In his eyes, they were just the kind of lackeys who served tea and water.
They were all second-tier cultivators, and even if they entered a powerful force like the Dragon Slaying Pavilion, they could become a squad leader, not just a formal member.
"I'm not convinced either. Why should I only be an outer member?" Zhao Ke'er retorted to Bai Qi.
Bai Qi: "..."
Why are you telling me this? It's not like I get to decide this! If you want to cause trouble, you should go find Fu Jiu.
Miss Zhao glared at Bai Qi, but Bai Qi remained unmoved. If it weren't for Liu Bowen's insistence on keeping her, Bai Qi would have thrown her out long ago.
"Oh? Is there anyone else who disagrees?" Fu Jiu looked around and found that the Flower Monk and Lü Wende were both silent.
Having witnessed Mr. Bowen's miraculous methods, the Flower Monk certainly dared not act recklessly and could only obediently listen to him.
Lu Wende's silence was the action of a wise man. It would be unwise to jump out rashly before understanding the strength of this organization. Only a straightforward and foolish big guy like Nangong Changwan would directly expose his true thoughts.
Fu Jiu continued, "Currently, there are five official members in the mythology: myself, Bai Qi, Li Si, Mr. Bowen, and the river god Bai Luo."
"If you can defeat any one of the five of us, you will be promoted to a full member immediately."
"I will announce the benefits for official members and peripheral members later. Whether you can get them depends on your abilities."
Nangong Changwan chuckled: "That's easy, I agree. Whoever beats me, I'll submit to them."
Lu Wende remained outwardly calm, but the joy in his eyes was undeniable, clearly indicating that he was very satisfied with the outcome.
Li Si had already thoroughly investigated the backgrounds of these individuals. Lu Wende was previously a mercenary, a loner who couldn't get along with most people due to his personality. Over time, he became increasingly withdrawn, making him easy to recruit.
Nangong Changwan used to do some dirty work in an underground club, such as fighting and boxing. With his strong, bear-like body, there were really not many people who could beat him, and his income was quite good.
A few days ago, the club owner asked him to fight in underground boxing matches, deliberately losing a few rounds in hopes of winning money.
With Nangong Changwan's explosive temper, he couldn't stand this insult and immediately punched his boss, knocking out several of his front teeth.
Then Nangong Changwan was put on the wanted list, and Li Si took advantage of this opportunity to come knocking on his door.
People like Nangong Changwan are the easiest to deal with. It all comes down to strength. As long as you have a big enough fist and offer enough benefits, you can make him obedient.
Zhao Ke'er frowned and thought for a moment, then gritted her teeth and agreed. Her goal was to defeat Bai Qi, and she didn't care at all about becoming a formal member of the bureau. On the contrary, Li Si's expression was a little strange.
"Fu Jiu, you're not joking, are you?"
Fu Jiu shrugged: "Do I look like I'm joking?"
“There will definitely be new members joining in the future. As one of the most senior members, it’s time for you to improve your skills.”
Li Si swallowed hard. "Are you serious? No way. If I get defeated, does that mean I'm not even as good as these newcomers?"
No, absolutely not!!
Bai Qi has already advanced to the peak of the third tier, so his strength cannot lag too far behind.
He is currently a probationary member, whose status is lower than that of a formal member but higher than that of an peripheral member; he is somewhere in between.
If he were defeated by the peripheral members, he wasn't sure if the Bureau of Myths and Gods would strip him of his status as a prospective member, since no organization would want to support a useless person.
Although Fu Jiu is now the director of the Bureau of Myths and Gods and can provide him with some assistance, he can also see that if the system does not want to acknowledge his identity, there is nothing Fu Jiu can do about it.
Li Si reluctantly agreed, knowing that he really needed to improve his strength. It would be so embarrassing if these newcomers caught up with him.
At this moment, on the small wooden bridge outside the villa, Liu Bowen returned to the small pavilion with its vermilion roof.
"Come out, stop hiding," he said calmly.
The surroundings were eerily quiet. After a long while, a figure emerged from the shadows.
"When did you find out about me?" The man's expression was not good.
“From the moment you stepped into this elegant garden, you were already exposed.”
The man's expression darkened further, a murderous glint appearing in his eyes: "How could there be a strange expert like you in Qingshui City? What is your purpose in staying here?"
The fact that he, with his late-stage fourth-tier strength, couldn't see through Liu Bowen means that the other party was at least a master of the same level as him.
But he wasn't worried about getting into trouble. Given his status and background, as long as he spoke out, most people wouldn't choose to make things difficult for him.
Liu Bowen smiled and said, "Shouldn't I be asking you that?"
"You came with that girl named Zhao Ke'er, right? If I'm not mistaken, you should be a guard or something like that. Am I right?"
The man's pupils contracted, and the murderous intent in his eyes intensified: "You know too much."
"Is that so? I don't think so." Liu Bowen seemed to completely disregard this person.
"The stronger a person is, the more secrets they have access to."
Just as the man was about to test the waters, he felt an immense pressure wash over him, making it hard for him to breathe.
"A fifth-tier expert?!" The man exclaimed in disbelief, his voice trembling slightly.
When did fifth-tier experts become so worthless? He can just run into one so easily?
Damn! This is just too unlucky!
“That little girl is now a member of our mythology, so I won’t kill you, provided that you don’t interfere in the tribulation between the two of them.”
The man's heart skipped a beat: "You knew everything?"
Liu Bowen smiled without saying a word. These people wanted to use Bai Qi to help Zhao Ke'er overcome her tribulation, but wasn't he also trying to use Zhao Ke'er to help Bai Qi overcome his tribulation?
He could tell that there was some entanglement between the two, and forcibly separating them might backfire.
The man's expression shifted between light and dark. He had thought that in this small place, even if he couldn't suppress the entire scene with his late-stage fourth-tier strength, he could at least protect the young lady's safety.
But he never expected to suffer such a big setback on the very first day. The person in front of him was definitely not someone he could handle.
He was still hesitant about whether to take the young lady back, but after thinking about it for a long time, he finally gave up the idea.
Just as Liu Bowen said, Bai Qi and Zhao Ke'er are each other's calamities, and there is no way to avoid them.
