"I'm fine, I just suddenly remembered something."
Su Wen took a deep breath and transmitted his voice.
"As long as you know your limits."
The Theater God's eyelids twitched; had he remembered something else?
And the reaction was so strong?
It seems that the future of Huaxia is truly perilous!
Perhaps the power possessed by the Arrow Realm faction is many times greater than he currently anticipates.
It seems there are some things that need to be arranged in advance.
"Commanders, we will now relay the information regarding the God of Wealth's funeral to each Destiny Squad."
The middle-aged soldier continued, "And the Destiny Squad, having received the information, should all be attending tomorrow's funeral."
"After all... it's the funeral of the God of Wealth."
Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Huaxia Heavenly Mandate Bearer Headquarters.
"Captain, do you mean that if I want to advance to the King Rank in the future, I'll need the God of God of Wealth's permission?"
At the Black Leaf Squad's gathering place, Wealth Spirit asked in astonishment.
Across from them, the Black Leaf Squad leader, Eighth Rank Heavenly Mandate Bearer Zither Master, chuckled and said, "That's right."
"But you don't need to be nervous. Your profession is Wealth Spirit, so there are career advancement opportunities, aren't there?"
"Under normal circumstances, as long as you don't commit any crimes, the state shouldn't make things difficult for you; in fact, it might even open doors of convenience for you."
"After all, we're on the same side!"
At this point, the Zither Master paused, then said wistfully, "To be honest, I envy those of you Heavenly Mandate Bearer to be leaders."
"On the one hand, you have a powerful backer from the start. If any problems arise, you can go to your leader, and who knows, if they're in a good mood, they might just solve it for you."
"On the other hand, your path to advancement is very clear. As long as you have sufficient experience and ability, have collected all the necessary advancement treasures, and the leader gives you his approval, you will be promoted."
"But for someone like me who has no leader or backer, things are really tough."
"Even without a leader for the relevant profession, we Heavenly Mandate Bearer don't need the leader's approval; as long as the treasures are prepared properly, we can still advance to the King Rank."
"But there's a failure rate for our promotions, and the higher you go, the higher the failure rate."
"I've especially heard that the failure rate for advancing to the King Rank is ridiculously high, with a minimum of about 50%, depending on one's mastery of their supernatural abilities."
"So you're very lucky, especially since you've spoken with your leader and your leader has a good impression of you; that makes you even luckier."
"When will our Huaxia produce a master of the zither?"
"The treasures used to advance to the King Rank are truly invaluable!"
"Collecting them all at once would take years, even decades. If we failed and had to try again, we'd probably feel like dying."
Wealth Spirit listened from the side, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
So this is what it feels like to be the boss! It's so awesome!
He doesn't have to worry about others failing to get promoted.
As long as the boss gives the nod, he's 100% guaranteed to succeed.
Seeing the captain's miserable look made him even happier.
But after all, he was his captain, and he would be in the Black Leaf Squad for a while, so he had to hold back and absolutely couldn't laugh.
Once you laugh out loud, the nature of the situation changes.
"Laugh if you want!"
The Zither Master waved his hand and said, "No need to hide it. Holding back laughter for too long isn't good for your health."
"I used to coach a team member whose class was Dubhe."
"That little girl is quite lively. When I told her what I was saying, she burst out laughing before I even finished."
"You're better than her; at least you're still holding back."
"She has the Star God as her protector, you have the God of God of Wealth as your protector, you both... have powerful backers!"
Wealth Spirit took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to laugh.
Regardless, the Zither Master was Eighth Rank Heavenly Mandate Bearer, while I was only Fifth Rank.
If the other party wants to hit me, can't I just attack them at will?
As for the example the Zither Master gave?
The team leader is a man, while the one Dubhe is a woman.
The captain might not make a move because the other person is a young girl, but he might not be so sure about himself.
Who knows, if I smile, the captain might slap me across the face.
After joining the Black Leaf Squad, he went on an exploration of the Arrow Realm with the captain.
The captain's style of doing things doesn't seem like that of a gentle, kind-hearted person!
"Tsk!"
After a moment, the Zither Master clicked his tongue lightly and said, "You didn't laugh? That's a bit unexpected."
"I originally intended to..."
The Zither Master's expression suddenly changed halfway through his sentence.
The next moment, the bracelet on his right hand trembled slightly and began to flash with a blood-red light.
Seeing this, Wealth Spirit immediately shut his mouth.
He vaguely remembered the bracelet on the captain's wrist.
A crimson light flashed!
That's a really big deal!
Could something unexpected and serious have happened in the Arrow Realm?
"Everyone, assemble in room 204 within five minutes!"
After giving Wealth Spirit a complicated look, the Zither Master summoned all members of the Black Leaf Squad in the most serious tone.
Brother, please accept my condolences!
After patting Wealth Spirit on the shoulder, the Zither Master sighed, pushed open the door, and left.
Wealth Spirit: "???"
What's wrong?
What happened?
Why did the captain suddenly say those things to him?
Is the phrase "please accept my condolences" something that can be used indiscriminately?
For a moment, Wealth Spirit stood there dumbfounded, somewhat bewildered.
After realizing what was happening, he quickly rushed to room 204.
He just wants to know what happened.
Could the blood-red warning light on the captain's bracelet be related to him?
They're all here, how could it possibly be related to him?
As for his hometown?
He's still quite self-aware; even if his entire family were to die, he wouldn't be qualified to trigger a blood-red warning.
"I'll say it all when everyone arrives."
The Zither Master looked at Wealth Spirit and spoke gently.
Wealth Spirit: "..."
The captain's tone was so gentle.
But in line with what they said before, the gentler the captain was now, the more flustered he became.
However, since the captain had already said to wait until everyone was present, he couldn't press the matter further.
It'll only take a few minutes anyway, let's just wait!
For some reason, five minutes, which usually pass in the blink of an eye, now seem to him to be an eternity.
"Creak!"
After the Heavenly Mandate Bearer, the Battle Walker, entered the room, he deliberately went around to the side of the Wealth Spirit and gently patted him on the shoulder.
My condolences!
After saying this, Battle Walker sat down.
Wealth Spirit: "???"
Holy crap?
Everyone knows about this?
Don't you know?
Soon, everyone in the Black Leaf Squad arrived.
Of the seven members of the Black Leaf Squad, three, including the captain Zither Master, offered their condolences to Wealth Spirit.
The rest of the people, like Wealth Spirit, walked in with blank expressions.
Clearly, they didn't know what had happened either.
"Alright, now that everyone's here, I'll get started."
The Zither Master solemnly stated, "News just came from the center that one of the God-Prefixed Heavenly Mandate Bearer of Huaxia, the God of Wealth, has perished in the No. 9 Arrow Realm in Demon Capital."
"The state will hold a state funeral for the God of Wealth at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
"My suggestion is that everyone should attend unless it's absolutely necessary."
What do you all think?
As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent.
At that moment, everyone turned their heads in unison, looking at Wealth Spirit with complicated expressions.
