Quan Sangin came down the stairs and, upon seeing Lin Baici, immediately exclaimed with joy, "You’re okay?"
"If you’re okay, how could God Lin possibly be in trouble?"
Kim Jinsoo rolled her eyes. Although she hadn’t followed Lin Baici for long, she was already thoroughly impressed, and her respect for Quan Sangin had greatly diminished.
In fact, as a group leader, Quan Sangin’s strength and experience weren’t lacking either. It was just that Lin Baici was too strong, making him seem exceedingly ordinary.
Quan Sangin was left speechless, wanting to argue, but the reality was indeed that way. If it weren’t for Xia Hongyao and Gu Qingqiu pulling everyone through the calamity, purifying two instances of rule contamination, and passing the little monster’s game, they would all be dead by now.
"Group Leader Xia, Qingqiu, stop hiding; it’s God Lin!"
Quan Sangin turned his head and bellowed up the stairs.
When they went downstairs to search, they heard footsteps, so Gu Qingqiu suggested that Quan Sangin take two people downstairs as a lure while the others lay in ambush.
No matter if they faced monsters or God Hunters, such an arrangement was prudent and safe. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel(ꜰ)ire.net
After Quan Sangin yelled, he eyed Lin Baici and hurriedly greeted him!
What was Lin Baici doing, anyway?
A performance art piece?
You can’t use taboo things in the apartment, so who are you trying to scare with that kasaya?
However, Quan Sangin’s attitude was very respectful, with sixty percent of it for Lin Baici, and the other forty percent won by Xia Hongyao and Gu Qingqiu.
Especially Gu Qingqiu, whose brains worked too well. She purified rule contaminations of the puzzle-solving type so fast it was unbelievable.
Quan Sangin felt that before long, Gu Qingqiu would definitely become famous in the God Hunter Circle.
The only problem might be that she was a bit too mad.
"Sister Yao is here too?"
Hua Yue Yu didn’t expect to encounter Xia Hongyao here and was instantly delighted, saving her the trouble of looking for her.
Lin Baici sized up Quan Sangin and the other two. Although they were a bit disheveled and had some minor injuries, they were overall okay, which led him to infer that Xia Hongyao should be even safer, and he felt relieved.
Footsteps quickly sounded, and as Lin Baici looked up, he saw an agile figure leap down from upstairs.
Her ponytail swung behind her head like a flag rippling in the breeze.
Xia Hongyao landed, and the Bear felt like he was on a roller coaster ride, violently shaking to the point of motion sickness.
Huang Jinxiang was shocked; was that even bigger than his head?
How does one grow like that?
Li Yintong’s female intuition told her that new competition had arrived, and the physical assets were frighteningly impressive.
With such a Bear, who could win?
Xia Hongyao was still dressed in sportswear, covered with dust and blood, holding her dagger. Upon seeing Lin Baici, her face immediately burst into a brilliant smile.
Instead of continuing to run downstairs and hug Lin Baici, Xia Hongyao looked up proudly. "I told you not to worry about him. Little Linzi would be fine!"
This is the man I knew would become Dragon Level within three years.
Thumbs up for my insight!
Gu Qingqiu walked down, surrounded by four people.
She was wearing a long white dress that fell to her calves, sleeveless, with light blue lace trim on both the armless edges and the V-shaped neckline.
Gu Qingqiu had a straw hat made of wheat straw and fine hemp rope on her head, with a brim so wide it could cover her chin and neck if pulled down.
"Ahem, Leader, it looks like you haven’t had an easy time while we were separated!"
Gu Qingqiu coughed twice and looked at Lin Baici with a faint smile on her lips.
Her right hand held her hat in place while her left hand wielded the Japanese Sword Red Ghost Pill. The bloodstains splattered on her dress like plum blossoms in winter, lending her an ethereal beauty.
Li Yintong was overwhelmed, fearing she wouldn’t even get a slice of the pie.
The fisherman’s hat lady stood tall and slender, her skin pale and exuding a sense of sub-health. Her sickly beauty, combined with her melon seed face, exuded a vulnerable charm that was utterly devastating.
Many eyes fell on Gu Qingqiu’s feet—her delicate calves and the graspable ankles were attractive, along with her toes, dusted with dirt and bloodstains, stepping in white strapped sandals. Every step down seemed to trample on the watchers.
Huang Jinxiang was shocked, vigorously rubbing his eyes.
Li Yintong whispered in inquiry, figuring the girl had some significant background for the worldly Brother Xiang to be so shocked.
"The only daughter of the head of Minsheng Industries!"
Huang Jinxiang explained in a low voice, "I’ve only seen her once at a charity dinner three years ago!"
Gu Qingqiu’s pale complexion and her cough were too memorable.
"You’ve got to be kidding! She thinks there’s too much money at home and life is too comfortable?"
Li Yintong was flabbergasted. "What’s she doing in the Busan Divine Ruins?"
Minsheng Industries had been established in the late Qing Dynasty, initially dealing in food and oil before building a fleet. They made a fortune by transporting rubber and weapons during the war and took advantage of the chaos in Hong Kong Island for over a decade to acquire cheap land with their accumulated funds.
This laid a solid foundation for Minsheng Industries’ later forays into real estate.
To put it bluntly, the Gu Family were the largest landowners in Hong Kong Island.
Miss Gu of the Gu Family wasn’t born into simple circumstances; she was on winner mode, with a cheat enabled. In this world, except for a few truly unattainable things, there was nothing she lacked.
