Thanks to book friends "Cold Night 1986" for the tips and urging for more updates. However, a nine-thousand-word update is truly beyond my reach. Be that as it may, I will burst out three more chapters today. Although it doesn't meet the word count goal, it can at least repay everyone's kind intentions~
Since I am bursting out chapters, I will shamelessly ask for support once more. Although there is still some distance from second place, it is not impossible to surpass it, so... hehe... I beg for recommendations, collections, and clicks, ahhhhh!
Additionally, I don't know what happened with the garbled text from just now. It has been re-uploaded, and I apologize to the book friends who were inconvenienced!
******
Reincarnators of the first difficulty level cannot apply to the Space for a main domain venue, so the headquarters of the Worker Alliance is built within Mr. Yi's private residence.
Mr. Yi's Space authority has reached Level 4, and his private residence is at least three times larger than Gao Xu's. Furthermore, the team members he recruited have merged their private residences as well, making the total area sufficient to build a decent-sized hall.
Currently, about a dozen people are standing sparsely in this hall, divided into four groups, gathered around the conference table in the center.
They are standing rather than sitting because the group seems to have had a verbal conflict, and the atmosphere in the hall is already extremely tense.
Located at the north side is Mr. Yi's team, with six people led by Shang Yan standing behind Mr. Yi, following his lead.
Standing on the east side is a man in white robes with skin that glints with a metallic luster. His facial features are soft, but his eyes are extremely sharp, giving the impression of being well-defined and piercingly aggressive. Behind him stand two men and one woman, all with ordinary appearances and respectful attitudes, eyes fixed on the ground.
On the south side is a pair of siblings. The man has a righteous face, a broad back and thick waist, and a sturdy build, while the woman has eyebrows like paintings and skin like congealed fat—a rare beauty, not a whit inferior to A-list film stars.
The reincarnators on the west side are somewhat strange; they are wearing snow-white hospital gowns and coughing from time to time. That teetering figure seems as if he is terminally ill, feeling completely out of place with the surrounding environment and the identity of a reincarnator.
Meanwhile, Gao Xu stands next to Mr. Yi, looking at the ceiling of the hall in a relaxed and leisurely manner, as if there is something worth studying up there.
"In short, I'll lay it out here: I will absolutely not listen to this person's command. Look at his attitude—does he even know what his status is?" The white-robed man glares at Gao Xu, his words causing Shang Yan and the others to frown deeply.
"Status...?" Gao Xu asks unhurriedly. "Listening to your tone, does it mean we workers should be groveling and fawning over you to be on the right path?"
The white-robed man snorts coldly, effectively defaulting to a yes.
His arrogant attitude is too much even for Mr. Yi. Just as he is about to speak, he sees Gao Xu point toward the main entrance with a flick and says indifferently, "I am working for you, but I am not your slave. If you cannot change this mindset, please leave!"
"You are telling me to leave???" The white-robed man is stunned, seemingly unable to believe Gao Xu is kicking him out, and he roars out of composure, "I was willing to believe in this crappy alliance of yours this time and give you a precious opportunity—what a great favor! A favor! Do you even know that? You actually..."
Gao Xu doesn't even look at him, interrupting him directly with a single word: "Get lost!"
"Good! Good! Good!" The white-robed man's eyes are sinister, like a ghost, staring straight at Gao Xu as he grinds his teeth. "The mountains don't turn, but the waters do; we shall meet again!"
Just before exiting the gate, he seems to remember something, turns around, and shouts viciously, "My Space authority has already reached Level 4, allowing me to foresee the daily arrangements of the plot worlds. In the next twenty days, there is only one Handsome Siblings world~ You all better take care; perhaps we will meet again very soon, ahahahahaha..."
Before his wild laughter even fades, he hears Gao Xu say with pleasant surprise, "Many thanks to you, brother, for spending 2,000 points to scout this intelligence for us. You truly are a living Lei Feng!"
"Ugh... cough, cough, cough, cough!" The white-robed man's voice stops abruptly, choked half to death by Gao Xu, and he disappears from the hall in a disheveled state.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
"Brilliant, brilliant! I've long since been unable to stand that arrogant idiot!" The man in the hospital gown applauds for a moment before sighing, "But having said that, I've heard that Wei Wuya is one of the most difficult to deal with among the first-difficulty level's final bosses. Now that Mr. Gao has made an enemy of a fellow reincarnator, if he comes in to cause trouble later, I'm afraid I won't have even the slightest chance of winning... So, I'm sorry, I'm withdrawing too..."
Mr. Yi watches the man in the hospital gown leave with an ugly expression, but Gao Xu doesn't care in the slightest. After waving goodbye to the man, he turns his gaze to the siblings: "What do you two think? Will you follow them?"
This pair of siblings is the quietest in the room. Aside from introducing their surname as Qin at the beginning, they have been observing from the sidelines the entire time. Now, seeing Gao Xu ask, the older brother, Qin Fen, actually nods and says, "We will stay. This time, we will follow your instructions!"
Gao Xu asks with interest, "Oh? Why? Don't you have the same concerns as them?"
Qin Fen grins and says, "Because through my observation, you are not a madman who would do something suicidal! Since that's the case, if you still dare to be so arrogant, it means you have a plan in mind and are very confident!"
Gao Xu shakes his head and laughs, "Heh, that sounds nice, but Brother Qin is likely confident in Mr. Yi. You two have been exchanging glances; there must be some inside information~~"
"If you want to interpret it that way, that's fine too... Haha!"
After both sides laugh heartily, the previous gloom seems to have been swept away. Gao Xu's expression turns serious as he says, "Now, let's confirm the numbers. Brother Qin's team has five people, correct?"
"Yes, it's a pity it's still a temporary team, unlike Mr. Yi's official team which enjoys various benefits!" With no outsiders in the hall, Qin Fen speaks more freely, but Mr. Yi looks at Gao Xu strangely, not understanding how he knew the size of Qin Fen's team, as he hadn't disclosed that beforehand!
Gao Xu naturally won't tell Mr. Yi that he had dealings with the Qin siblings in his previous life and knew that these two were righteous and of good character, which is why he deliberately held back and didn't drive them away.
Since the success of his first career as a worker is at stake, Gao Xu would never allow an employer with unknown motives to sabotage him from within. Therefore, even if the white-robed man appeared as docile as a sheep on the surface, he had to find a way to exclude him. That white-robed man was just unlucky; being an arrogant person by nature, he couldn't accept being needled with sarcastic remarks, thus becoming a tool for Gao Xu.
With the five members of Qin Fen's team, the seven members of Mr. Yi's team, and Gao Xu himself, that makes thirteen people. Gao Xu considers for a moment and feels it is necessary to leave two backup spots, so he moves to the next step.
The most important part arrives. Gao Xu had once promised Mr. Yi that he had a way to avoid a large number of Wuya Sect disciples and reduce the difficulty of killing Wei Wuya, but he had never explained how. It left Mr. Yi itching with impatience, and now is the time for the reveal!
"Why don't we change our way of thinking? Since the Wuya Sect disciples and the Turtle Mountain lair are the two major obstacles in front of us, why not bypass them at the root?"
Gao Xu's words plunge everyone into deep thought, but the quickest to react is Qin Fen's beautiful sister, Qin Lan. She widens her pretty eyes and asks, "Sir, do you intend to make a move before Wei Wuya moves to Turtle Mountain and creates the Wuya Sect?"
With her reminder, the others sigh in realization. Qin Fen praises, "That's it! If the entry point is at the very beginning of the plot, before Wei Wuya has settled on Turtle Mountain to develop his forces, we might really be able to avoid those troubles!"
As he speaks, he frowns again and sighs bitterly, "But the entry point of a plot world is chosen randomly by the Space. If we are transmitted to a place very far from Turtle Mountain, just the travel time alone would be a pain! I think we still have to pay a price to prepare a Crusade Scroll, which can also help us avoid retaliation from that person surnamed Hou. However, if we do that, we still can't avoid the Wuya Sect and Turtle Mountain; it's a dead end!"
The so-called entry point is the time one enters the plot world. For example, in the Chinese Paladin world Gao Xu experienced, the entry point was a few months before the main plot occurred, when Lin Yueru had not yet held the martial arts competition that determined her fate, and Zhao Ling'er was still growing up carefree on Immortal Spirit Island.
A Crusade Scroll is a scroll sold by the Space specifically for dealing with final bosses, and the price is extremely high. However, using such a scroll allows one to teleport directly to the relevant location in the plot world. The main task is to kill the final boss; the penalty for failure is very light, and if operated well, it can avoid interference from other reincarnators.
In the case of the Red Ghost King, under normal circumstances, there would be no reincarnators in Heishui Town. Gao Xu, who ran there to do a hidden quest, was an exception and not within the considerations of a Crusade Scroll.
It can be said that if one wants to fight a final boss safely, a Crusade Scroll is the best choice, which is why Qin Fen said that.
"A 10,000-point Crusade Scroll, even if we split it among ourselves, is too much of a rip-off!" Gao Xu's body shakes, and with a wave of his hand, a golden treasure chest appears. Amidst everyone's stunned gazes, he pretends to be calm and says, "Now, it is time to witness a miracle!"
