100,000?
The pupils of Lin Xiaoyu and the other two contracted slightly.
Although this might not be as much as what they get from hunting, the point is, they can take this 100,000 and do absolutely nothing!
" Sister Mei, no, that would be too much of a loss for you!" Lin Xiaoyu quickly said.
Upon hearing this, despite some hesitation, Wang Kai and Fang Ji nodded.
However, seeing the three of them like this, Mei Duo's smile widened even further.
If the three of them had readily accepted it upon hearing it, she might have felt some resentment, but now...
"Don't worry, there are only three of you. Even if each person earns 100,000, that's only 3.6 million a year. It might sting a bit, but it's still within my acceptable range."
"In contrast, if the team breaks up, it won't be so easy to get them back together later."
"But we don't know how long this situation will last. What if it's like this for several years?" Lin Xiaoyu said.
"Then let it last for a few years," Mei Duo said with a nonchalant smile.
"This..."
Lin Xiaoyu wanted to dissuade her, but at that moment, Mei Duo seemed to notice something and turned her head to look to the side.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyu also turned her gaze in that direction.
Then Ye Chengyun from that group walked over.
He first glanced at the members of the Thorn Squad, then chuckled and turned his gaze to Mei Duo.
"Captain Mei, can I discuss something with you?"
"What is it?" Mei Duo asked, somewhat puzzled.
"I'd like to invite your Thorn Squad to join us," Ye Chengyun said with a smile.
"Join you?" Mei Duo frowned.
Afterwards, they weren't forced to kill any more Calamity Beast; it was already a miracle that the team didn't suffer any casualties. Why were they still trying to recruit them?
Are you so rich that you don't mind raising multiple pets?
"Yes, that's right. I want to unite several teams and form a guild specifically to explore the Light Gate." Ye Chengyun said with a smile, revealing his purpose.
"Jointly explore the Light Gate?" Mei Duo frowned slightly, looking at Ye Chengyun with doubt in her eyes.
"Didn't the press conference just say that the Light Gate would be handled by the city's Supervision Bureau?"
"You're not planning to do what you did during the previous patrols, requesting that members of the Supervision Bureau watch over things while you handle the Light Gate?"
"No, of course not," Ye Chengyun denied.
"That was possible before because there was only one Calamity Beast."
"But what you'll face when you go through the Light Gate might be a large horde of Calamity Beast."
"That number is so large that even members of the Supervision Bureau would find it difficult to manage; it might even be beyond the capacity of a single city's Supervision Bureau."
"Perhaps that's why, as mentioned in the press conference, the Light Gate appearing in this city are now under the jurisdiction of the Supervision Bureau."
"What is that?" Mei Duo stared intently at Ye Chengyun.
"Have you forgotten?" Ye Chengyun smiled and looked back at Mei Duo.
"Although the Supervision Bureau is responsible for the Light Gate within the city, aren't there many other places outside that the Supervision Bureau can't cover?"
" Erosion Zone? Light Gate?"
Xiao Bai'er turned her gaze away, tilting her head to look at her friend beside her.
"So, that means we won't see those kinds of Calamity Beast anymore, the kind that appear by chance when two worlds overlap, like before?"
"Mm." Shen Shuning nodded slightly.
"So, is this considered good or bad?" Xiao Bai'er asked, frowning.
Different environments may harbor more Calamity Beast, which may seem to make things more dangerous.
However, the Calamity Beast within the Light Gate were initially unable to emerge because they did not belong to this world.
With a little care, avoiding traps or anything like that, you can easily retreat and prepare for battle again.
For example, recruiting more people and preparing more corresponding weapons and equipment, etc.?
So... going through the Light Gate might actually be safer if you're just a little careful?
Xiao Bai'er thought about it with some uncertainty.
Unlike the members of the Martial Arts Association, who currently do not need to worry about their livelihoods, they are more concerned about the impact of these different methods on the struggle.
Shen Shuning lowered her eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and said:
Overall, the situation has definitely gotten worse.
"But the Light Gate itself, if we're a little careful, might not be too dangerous, but the Erosion Zone..."
At this point, Shen Shuning paused, then looked up at Xiao Bai'er and said:
" Bai'er, do you remember how Minister Zhao described the Erosion Zone at the press conference just now?"
Xiao Bai'er looked up and recalled what Zhao Yonggang had just said at the press conference.
"A larger, more dangerous Light Gate?"
"Yes," Shen Shuning nodded slightly, "And then it was about how to handle it?"
"They said it's still under control, and the Supervision Bureau and the Military Department are fully responsible," Xiao Bai'er immediately replied.
"What about the Light Gate?" Shen Shuning continued to ask.
"They said it's the responsibility of the city's Supervision Bureau, and if needed, they'll recruit members from local or neighboring Martial Arts Association," Xiao Bai'er said.
"Why?" Shen Shuning turned her gaze, looking calmly at her friend, " The Light Gate might recruit members of the Martial Arts Association, but the more dangerous Erosion Zone is entirely the responsibility of the Supervision Bureau and the Military Department?"
"Uh, this..."
This question immediately stumped Xiao Bai'er.
She blinked, and said uncertainly,
"Because the Erosion Zone is more dangerous, and there's concern that ordinary martial artists might suffer too many casualties?"
"Perhaps that's possible, but..." Shen Shuning looked at Xiao Bai'er and said slowly and calmly, "What if the situation over there has become so dangerous that ordinary martial artists wouldn't be able to do anything?"
"This..."
Xiao Bai'er's eyes widened slightly, somewhat incredulous.
But reason told her that what her friend said was very likely true.
Now, only a little over a year and a half has passed since the news about the Ruins Realm was announced.
This is a short time, but it includes the time required to perceive the Origin Power.
Among martial artists outside the Supervision Bureau, the longest they have cultivated is probably only a year and a half.
In a year and a half, it can be said that, with very few exceptions, the highest level of all non- Supervision Bureau martial artists is only the Second Tier tier.
This level of cultivation, placed in the more dangerous Erosion Zone...
Shen Shuning looked away.
She didn't know much about the Erosion Zone; perhaps a lot, perhaps little. The headquarters of the Supervision Bureau wouldn't disclose all the information, but...
From the initial cover-up to the subsequent announcement, and now to the Light Gate and the Erosion Zone...
The overlap between the two worlds does not appear to be a smooth downward trend.
She let out a soft breath.
"Alright, let's go to the student council first."
On the other side, the Linhai City Supervision Bureau.
As the press conference concluded and the live stream ended, the light screen projected in mid-air vanished.
Wei Leyang withdrew his gaze and fixed it on a figure sitting on the ground.
"Alright, let's summarize. What was said in the press conference just now?"
Dahuang sat on the ground, its eyes filled with despair.
Its feet lifted and lowered several times, finally giving an uncertain answer.
"The press conference just now was mainly about how things might get very dangerous in the future?"
The words had barely left his mouth.
The man and the dog stared at each other silently.
Kuso, I can understand learning to read, but why do I have to learn this too?!
