CHAPTER 335: CHAPTER 124 GATHERING_1

"By the way, regarding ’small amount’ or ’massive amount’ and such, what are the specific quantities?"

The Laegihat Magic Mirror quickly provided an answer.

"The amount of flesh and blood doesn’t greatly impact the quality of the skills acquired after advancement, but it must be present. The specific amount is for the target to judge."

Hearing the Laegihat Magic Mirror’s answer, Wen Yu pondered for a moment before putting the mirror away.

For the advancement method of Cyclops and Star, he decided to cultivate them completely according to the ratios the Laegihat Magic Mirror provided, but his main focus was on the little soul pet.

After a while, Wen Yu made up his mind.

An S-Class light attribute skill... I should use a skill scroll. If that doesn’t work, I’ll just snatch one! Wen Yu’s Soul Shattering Mirror had not been used even once until now!

...

After a wild spree of spending points and demon hunting points, using up all his "petty cash," Wen Yu reviewed all his items and skills and nodded in satisfaction. Each level advancement for a professionist marked a significant transformation in strength. For a professionist like Wen Yu, who had numerous dependents to look after, the changes brought by advancement were even more profound.

Feeling the explosive increase in his physical attributes, and after fiddling with Palpitation and Mad Medley for a bit, Wen Yu strode towards the Central Castle.

...

When Wen Yu entered the conference room, he saw five exceptionally powerful experts looking utterly bored.

Kuangliu sat at the head of the table, propping his head with one hand and yawning from boredom.

An Asian man with a Gu Family’s long sword strapped to his back stood with his arms crossed, eyes closed, conserving his energy.

Another Asian man kept flipping through a book titled "Introduction to Demonic Creature and Mutant Beast Species," written by the military.

The other two, fair-haired and blue-eyed Westerners, sat on opposite sides of the round table, engaged in a silent staring contest.

Seeing Wen Yu enter, Kuangliu’s face immediately broke into a grin, and he waved at Wen Yu.

"Let me introduce you. These individuals are all top-ten powerhouses..."

Following Kuangliu’s introductions, the experts immediately stood up and nodded at Wen Yu.

Wen Yu, naturally, scrutinized them carefully.

Judging by their heartbeats and blood flow, their strength should be around Middle Stage Level 4.

Of course, this judgment wasn’t precise, and Wen Yu certainly wouldn’t ask someone their level and strength to their face—Wen Yu rarely did such offensive things.

After making a brief mental assessment, Wen Yu greeted them and casually found a place to sit.

Kuangliu saw Wen Yu take a seat and nodded briefly. He then stood up, walked to the large screen in the meeting room, and pointed at the Demon Qi Shield Generator depicted standing in Demon City.

"This thing is our target this time. According to reconnaissance from the Cathay military, the number of Demon Fiends currently in Demon City isn’t large. Furthermore, this Demonic Energy Shield is currently deactivated, so the battle should be simple. We walk in, Andre carries out the Demon Qi Shield Generator and puts it on the transport vehicle, then we come back. Any objections?"

Kuangliu was met with silence.

"So, no objections... Let’s move out."

Kuangliu was decisive. After speaking, he walked straight out the door. Wen Yu and the others offered no opinions, simply following him.

In Demon City, nothing remained that could threaten them. So, just as Kuangliu had said, the entire operation was a matter of walking in, retrieving the item, and walking back out. Very simple indeed...

But...

No one noticed the eerie glint that flashed in the eyes of Yang Pengguang, who was walking at the very back.

...

Several military vehicles sped towards Demon City.

Wen Yu sat in the front passenger seat, playfully teasing Cyclops, who was nestled in his arms. Kuangliu was in the driver’s seat, occasionally making small talk with Wen Yu.

"Once we retrieve the Demon Qi Shield Generator, the military plans to completely occupy Demon City and then directly block the Demon Realm’s Gate, turning this treasure land into a veritable training ground. What do you think of this plan?"

Wen Yu responded perfunctorily, "Not bad."

Kuangliu wasn’t surprised by Wen Yu’s tone and continued, "I’ve reserved a spot for you at one of the Demon Realm’s Gates. You get a quarter of the Demon Fiends that emerge, and I get a quarter. I had to work hard to get this approved. So, what do you think? Generous of me, right?"

Hearing this, Wen Yu immediately nodded.

Only two Demon Realm’s Gates remained. This meant Wen Yu effectively controlled one-eighth of the Demon Fiends emerging in the outpost treasure land. What was there to be dissatisfied about?

"By the way, how will those Westerners be handled?"

Only Wen Yu and Kuangliu were in the car, so they weren’t worried about being overheard.

"When the time comes, the two of us will use our authority to teleport those Westerners out directly. We’ll tell them the outpost treasure land has been closed."

In the entire outpost treasure land, only Kuangliu and Wen Yu, both Level 5 experts, possessed authority. As for Kaldo, after their ’diplomacy involving fine food and wine,’ he was practically one of them. With two such high-ranking individuals taking the lead, they could indeed achieve this.

However, the nature of this matter...

Wen Yu wore a knowing smile. "Discarding the donkey once the milling is done... I like it."

Kuangliu retorted, "That’s not ’discarding the donkey when the milling is done’; it’s called looking after our own."

Wen Yu shook his head helplessly. These high-ranking military officials were masters of manipulation. If it weren’t for the massive benefits they could provide, Wen Yu genuinely wouldn’t want to deal with them.

If he didn’t hold the highest authority in the treasure land, who knew when these people might betray him!

After a long silence, Wen Yu spoke again.

"I want to ask you something. I heard from your dad that you had a bit of a run-in with a divine beast not long ago..."

Hearing Wen Yu’s words, the corners of Kuangliu’s eyes twitched. After a moment, he said with a sigh of resignation, "The Ghost-faced Qilin, huh... That creature is insane. Last time, Vermilion Bird and I went to Lhasa together, hoping to subdue it... We ended up being driven back."

"You couldn’t communicate?"

Kuangliu shook his head. "It wasn’t that we couldn’t communicate. We were actually chatting quite amicably at first. But as soon as we mentioned recruiting it for the military, that Ghost-faced Qilin went berserk. It insisted on ’testing our strength’... I won’t detail the aftermath. Let’s just say it chased us around like monkeys..."

Just as Kuangliu finished speaking, he glanced at Wen Yu.

"Oh right, you don’t have a soul pet for your 5th Soul Realm yet. That Ghost-faced Qilin is indeed very strong."

Wen Yu nodded and asked, "Have you encountered any other divine beast species?"

Kuangliu shook his head.
