Nangong Shu took the milk from Lin Baici’s hand and placed it on the bedside table.
Her various Divine Grace tended towards the spiritual domain, and what she found most troublesome was encountering those with strong will like Lin Baici, as the effectiveness of her powers would be greatly reduced.
"Aunt Shu, do you know about the Busan Divine Ruins?"
Lin Baici felt the need to divert his attention to ease the discomfort.
"Why are you asking about those Divine Ruins?"
Nangong Shu was puzzled, as the hottest topic among the God Hunter Circle currently was the great earth palace in the Qinling Mountains.
"I have a friend who invited me to explore the Busan Divine Ruins!"
The only God Hunter Lin Baici knew was Xia Hongyao, who was good at fighting, but when it came to providing useful ideas...
Sorry, but there’s nothing a person with D-cup intelligence can do about it.
Now that he had met Nangong Shu and had experienced the zombie-like creature game with her, Lin Baici thought the landlady had decent character and that it was worth trying to develop a friendship with her.
"Then your friend must have great influence within the Korean Hunter’s circle!"
Nangong Shu explained, "Koreans are quite stingy. They always want to explore the Divine Ruins in other countries, but they guard their own tightly and never open them to outsiders. Even if they can’t break into them, they’ll keep them closed off, with no allowance for foreign meddling."
"If you can get in, just selling the account of what you’ve seen and heard there can make you a fair amount of money!"
"Of course, with your perspective, you probably won’t be interested in that amount of money."
The atmosphere in the bedroom gradually became quiet.
"Aunt Shu, you overestimate me. I’m interested!"
Lin Baici thought to himself that he was just a poor ghost unable to afford such a villa.
"Hehe, if you’re short on cash, you could always be my little wolf dog."
Lin Baici didn’t dare to continue this topic and quickly changed the subject: "Is the Busan Divine Ruins worth exploring?"
"There are several Divine Ruins in Korea worth exploring, and Busan is one of them; it’s a ten-year large scale Divine Ruins."
Nangong Shu shared everything she knew: "It’s said that there’s a deity inside that mainly causes radiation pollution that turns people into the living dead."
"Normally in Divine Ruins, if humans cannot leave in time, they gradually turn into flesh puppets; some attack humans, others do not. However, in the Busan Divine Ruins, the creatures that appear are the living dead, and they wildly attack all living beings!"
"If you go, make sure to bring plenty of firearms!"
"Bullets may not be very effective against flesh puppets, but they’re quite lethal against the living dead!"
Lin Baici hummed in acknowledgment, indicating he remembered the advice.
"We have plenty of ten-year large scale Divine Ruins in the Nine States, and if that’s not enough, we could go to Dongying, Europa, or even Egypt. These ruins yield historical taboo things corresponding to their legacies. As for Goryeo’s, those are just trinkets our ancestors let slip through their fingers!"
Nangong Shu spoke in a gentle voice that made listening to her a pleasure.
"I’ll start with exploring smaller Divine Ruins first!"
Lin Baici didn’t want to rashly take risks as steady development was the key.
"Has your friend mentioned how much tax you’ll need to pay?"
Normally, when exploring Divine Ruins, God Hunters have to pay taxes to the country where the ruins are located, based on the value of their spoils: "If it’s over thirty percent, don’t bother going. You’d be working for free."
Kim Myungjin had said that all gains would be his, and he would also be rewarded with ten thousand Meteorite Coins, and an A level taboo object.
It seemed very sincere now.
"Why is Goryeo suddenly so generous?"
Nangong Shu frowned slightly, "There’s no such thing as a free lunch. Bai Ci, you should be cautious. They definitely have an ulterior motive!"
Lin Baici felt the landlady moved down and sat on his thighs, beginning to massage his kidneys.
Nangong Shu was curious, "Can you tell me?"
"They want to recruit me!"
There was nothing to hide; anyway, Lin Baici wasn’t planning to go: "They’ve invited me to join the Korean official God Hunter Organization!"
Nangong Shu was astonished.
Lin Baici remembered the name of the organization.
"Who is trying to recruit you?"
Nangong Shu was curious, "If it’s just any Tom, Dick, or Harry, don’t trust them!"
Lin Baici thought that even if the head of Sejong Corps personally made the offer, he wouldn’t go.
Nangong Shu realized, "No wonder!"
Since he couldn’t refuse, he might as well enjoy it. Lin Baici had never had a massage before, but that didn’t prevent him from thinking the landlady’s skills were amazing. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel-fire.net
"He’s the leader of the Taichi Tiger Corps, known as a descendant of the Sun, one of Goryeo’s banner figures, and one of the potential successors of Sejong Corps. Famous, you ask?"
Nangong Shu was shocked, not having expected that this person had taken an interest in Lin Baici.
However, thinking of the genius recruitment terms Xia Hongmian proposed for Lin Baici and recalling his performance in those zombie-like games, Lin Baici was definitely worth the effort to be wooed.
As for the treatment, Nangong Shu didn’t ask, but since Jin Xian was involved, it would certainly not be shabby.
"What’s his character like?"
"So far, no blemishes, and he has a relatively good reputation!"
Nangong Shu warned, "Still, I would advise you not to go to the Busan Divine Ruins, even if Jin Xian truly wants to recruit you. What about the others?"
"To them, you’ll always be a foreigner, and they will definitely cause you trouble."
[What does an old clam know? This trip to Busan must be made. I can give up anything, but the God’s power must be seized.]
