Xia Hongyao gripped her dagger tightly, her eyes fixed on Guo Zheng, ready to strike at the first sign of any movement from him.
With her experience in the Security Bureau, having seen many case files, she knew there were numerous God Hunters who hadn’t died from the rule contamination of Taboo Things but rather in the scramble for spoils of war.
Interest will always drive people crazy.
What’s more, they were dealing with Divine Grace, which once absorbed, would greatly enhance the strength of a God Hunter and increase their resistance to the radiation from God’s bones.
“Don’t make me say it a second time, get lost!”
Lin Baici’s tone was thoroughly impatient now.
He alone had no fear of Guo Zheng, let alone with Xia Hongyao helping him.
Before executing his plan to hunt down the Drunkard Monster, Lin Baici had already considered killing witnesses.
Because he didn’t want anyone to know that he possessed an eyeball-shaped God’s bones.
In this time, Lin Baici had listened to commentary from Eater God, chatted with Xia Hongyao, and browsed the Origin Forum, gaining a significant amount of knowledge about the Divine Ruins.
He was no longer completely clueless.
Such eyeball-shaped God’s bones were very rare, and so, if word got out, it would undoubtedly attract coveting and snatch attempts from various forces.
Thinking this, Lin Baici looked towards Xia Hongyao.
Up to this point, High Ponytail had been completely reliable, volunteering as cannon fodder, acting as a meat shield without any complaints, and she had never been deceitful or manipulative with him, dealing with him with forthrightness.
If this weren’t the case, Lin Baici might have considered getting rid of her.
[There’s no need to be tense; all her nutrients went to her chest, so she’s simple-minded and won’t plot against friends.
Plus, she’s your backup milk source, quite valuable, so better keep her around!]
[If you truly can’t rest easy, you can take a step further and sleep with her.]
[Be very careful, she’s got a constitution that’s prone to getting pregnant easily, and though the abortion cost is trivial for you right now, hardly worth mentioning, she’s still of top-tier predator lineage, so don’t take it lightly.]
“God Lin, let’s discuss this further.
How about I give you Meteorite Coins?
Guo Zheng lowered his stance, pleading as he spoke.
Hua Yue Yu overheard the conversation among the three of them and, knowing that the monster was dead and the crisis averted, quickly climbed out of the wine jar.
She wanted to assist Lin Baici, but knowing that her presence would only add to the chaos, she had stayed behind the wine jar.
Hua Yue Yu chided herself.
“In the Hunters’ circle, what’s the price of a single Divine Grace?”
Lin Baici was curious; he saw people on the Origin Forum asking to buy Divine Grace, but those posts were often fluff and jokes.
Because no one actually sold it.
Xia Hongyao felt Guo Zheng was being delusional: “Generally, Divine Grace parasitizes on Taboo Things. Chapters first released on NoveI(F)ire.net
God Hunters, upon finding it, will absorb it immediately to avoid prolonged dangers.
Even if there’s an extra Divine Grace left on a Taboo Thing, they’d keep it for the most critical moment!”
“Divine Grace is a commodity even more costly than Meteorite.
It’s just that since it’s nearly impossible to obtain, it’s not commonly discussed.”
Guo Zheng’s face soured; he knew what Xia Hongyao was talking about, of course, but facing such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he had to try, however slim the chance.
“God Lin, I’ll work for you for three years.
During that time, all my earnings will belong to you, and I’ll accompany you into the Divine Ruins.
Guo Zheng made his offer.
“First, make it out of these Divine Ruins alive,” Lin Baici chuckled.
Guo Zheng’s expression froze, a twitch forming at the corner of his mouth.
He had been underestimated.
But what could he do about it?
As matters stood, his life indeed hung by the grace of Lin Baici.
By the small room, Gu Rongjie and her group craned their necks, peering outside.
“It looks like the monster was killed by Lin Junior!” Zhou Ya exclaimed happily.
“What are they arguing about?”
Feeling indignant, Du Xin said, “What is Guo Zheng thinking, wanting to die so badly?
Isn’t he alive simply because of God Lin’s grace?
And he still dares to talk back to God Lin?”
“Seems to be over the spoils?”
Lv Yingxi’s eyes rolled as she hesitated about whether to intervene when Gu Rongjie was already running over.
The female CEO also wanted a share of the loot.
“God Lin…” Guo Zheng spoke in a low, ingratiating tone, abjectly submissive.
He wanted to let loose some harsh words, but he dared not, for that would be courting death.
“Shut up and get lost!”
Lin Baici had lost all patience.
Seeing that Lin Baici was genuinely angry, Guo Zheng sighed, backing away and leaving the front of the wine jar.
When I become a Dragon Level God Hunter one day, possessing a hundred Divine Graces, I will surely kill your whole family, sleep with your wife and daughter.
“Little Linzi, hurry up and absorb the Divine Grace, I’ll keep an eye on this guy for you!”
Xia Hongyao urged, glancing at the three orbs of light in the jar before focusing her attention on Guo Zheng, ready to prevent any sudden assault.
“Don’t you want one?”
Lin Baici asked with a smile.
“Divine Grace is too expensive.
If you gave me one, I wouldn’t be able to repay the favor!”
Speaking thus, Xia Hongyao’s expression was serene; she truly had never considered asking for one.
Hearing this, Lin Baici formed a new assessment of High Ponytail—she was trustworthy, very suitable as a teammate.
Exploring the Divine Ruins with her as a partner, he wouldn’t have to worry about being blindsided.
It was just her propensity to get pregnant that was a bit troublesome!
Lin Baici first stowed the God’s bones into the Black Tripod Bowl.
[Wow, the Drunkard Monster actually dropped Three Divine Graces, it’s so fat.
It must have never enjoyed the blessings of a 996 work schedule.
The only regret is that all three Divine Graces are the same; it’s such a waste for you to consume them all.]]
