A Hearty Appetite

Night had fallen.

However, here at the crater, the moonlight is so bright that it makes the mountains look like silver.

Chen Taozhi said, "These were the same people who brought the body of a ghost woman before. However, when that puppet rushed out, we fought a chaotic battle, and the ghost woman's body was destroyed."

That's fine too.

Chu Tianshu waved his hand, looked at the crowd in front of him, and smiled, "The information you all provided was quite useful, and you also actively joined today's battle to eliminate human traitors. You deserve a reward."

Luo Zhan said, "Mr. Chu, the Mount Fuji area is prone to the Spirit Realm events. Even without the deliberate guidance of Evil Spirit, it is a place rich in resources."

"We want to seek refuge with you, sir, and take over this place."

His blonde junior sister, who had just introduced herself as Le Lin, quickly spoke up from the side, using much more euphemistic language.

"If there are so many traitors among humanity in Fusang, I imagine there are many more traitors lurking among the people in various places, just undiscovered. This place must be guarded by more responsible people to provide some protection for humanity."

Le Lin said, "The Americas already had troops stationed here, but they weren't being used to their full potential, so Mr. Chu had to take the lead in handling this matter."

"I'm sure that after today, people from Divine Land will also place their own people here, and then everyone can rest assured."

Jon was secretly annoyed.

What do you mean by "not fulfilling its intended purpose"? The Americas ' military presence here wasn't originally intended to help the Fusang solve paranormal cases—

He glanced at Chu Tianshu, thinking that things had come to this point and there was nothing he could do, so he didn't say anything.

Chu Tianshu smiled and nodded, "So?"

"The manpower that Divine Land can send here is probably limited. Even if Fusang doesn't dare to do anything openly, if it secretly tries to undermine us, it will not be conducive to the overall situation of resisting the Ghost God of the Spirit Realm."

Le Lin spoke eloquently, "But for us, coming from all over the world, our status actually makes things easier."

Luo Zhan bluntly stated, "We are barbarians! What is inconvenient for a land of propriety, we can do; what is inconvenient for a land of propriety, we can kill; what is inconvenient for a land of propriety, we can expel—in short, in the eyes of outsiders, it is absolutely a case of acting first and reporting later, rather than being instructed."

Jon's cheeks tightened.

He still disliked the Rakshasa Kingdom, as expected.

Le Lin quickly added, "My senior brother mainly meant it would be convenient to eliminate traitors."

Chu Tianshu laughed and looked at the people behind the two senior and junior siblings.

"Is that what you think too?"

Although everyone had different mindsets, they all nodded decisively at this moment.

Chachai added, "We can bring in even more people, all we need is for Mr. Chu to grant us permission to collect and manage cultivation resources in Fusang."

Chu Tianshu glanced to the side. "Taozhi, what do you think?"

"Commander, in my opinion, this matter needs further discussion."

Chen Taozhi cupped her hands in a respectful gesture and said, "Whether we are on an overseas observation mission or as United Nations advisors, we have all received professional training, have a tacit understanding with each other, and act in a methodical manner."

"Gentlemen of martial arts background, after all, come from diverse backgrounds. In order to obtain an operating license, at the very least, each group should undergo some background checks and be reorganized into groups according to our plan."

Chu Tianshu nodded slightly.

"Back in the day, even the East and West Factories knew to pay homage to Yue Fei. If you gentlemen want to do business with us, you should indeed follow a set procedure."

He blurted out the truth that was on his mind.

Most of the people present did not know the specific meaning of the East and West Factories, except for the Chachai brothers, whose expressions tightened.

Chadama subconsciously tightened his thighs.

"It's a metaphor, just a metaphor."

Chu Tianshu noticed him, smiled kindly, and then his gaze suddenly shifted.

"Hey, brother, you're quite valiant. I see a strange, yin energy swirling around your kidneys, as if you've slept with something extraordinary."

"If you don't take good care of yourself, the analogy used to describe others might actually come true for you."

Chadama was stunned for a moment, then clutched his kidneys.

Chachai was already worried about this, and upon seeing this, he quickly asked for advice.

"Mr. Chu, is there any way to help him in this situation?"

"It's not difficult. Buddhism has Contemplation of Impurity, which involves visualizing the physical body as a rotting corpse and viewing beautiful women as rotten wood."

Chu Tianshu said, "If you are able to successfully join the company later, your contributions today will be enough to earn you a corresponding set of secret techniques."

"But in addition to his physical ailments, his mental and spiritual foundation has also been subtly damaged. He needs to combine this with the secret method of the Southern Shaolin Oil Hammer Empowerment, and find a group of strong, physically imposing men to fight him with their bronze bodies and iron arms."

"Using visualization to heal the physical body and remove yin energy, and relying on physical training to cultivate yang energy within the heart, this combined treatment offers hope for a full recovery. However, when you will be able to accumulate the merit points for the authentic Oil Hammer Empowerment Secret Method is another matter."

Chachai a deep breath, his resolve to pass the interview and get things done strengthened.

A vast treasure trove of secret techniques, and powerful masters who can easily guide them on the right path of cultivation.

This was the life these brothers had dreamed of for the first half of their lives.

Luo Zhan paused for a moment, then said, "Background check: In the Rakshasa Kingdom— "

"I've heard about Mr. Luo Zhan's deeds."

Chen Taozhi said calmly, "You're just doing something for us in Fusang, so there's no need to be too strict about the background check."

"Judging from your most famous deeds in the Rakshasa Kingdom, this is definitely not a point you'd lose."

Zhang Daqiang laughed heartily and patted Luo Zhan on the shoulder.

He was wearing a martial arts mecha suit, while Luo Zhan was only wearing a vest and jeans. The pat on his shoulder made it look like two mechas were playing around.

"Brother, I told you long ago that what happened in your sect would be worthy of a commendation for bravery in our area."

Chu Tianshu observed from the side with a smile.

He vaguely sensed that Luo Zhan was connected to a very pure Spirit Realm aura.

But it didn't feel like Spirit Realm or Ghost God —was it some kind of powerful monster?

Spirit Realm and Ghost God are born into divine roles, extremely sinister, yet solemn despite their evil nature. Therefore, they have the ability to gather believers outside their own kind.

But besides Ghost God, there are also some spirits with powerful enough bloodlines who like to make contracts with living beings in the real world.

Chu Tianshu had seen Luo Zhan's story when he browsed the internal website news.

The martial arts school he belonged to was most proud of a kind of axe and shield technique similar to Taiji; the external martial arts training they possessed was just a minor skill.

Luo Zhan, as the last hope when that school was destroyed, was famous for his physical training. He never used any weapons other than lime, and he always fought bare-handed against guns. Moreover, he grew stronger with each battle, mostly due to the help of the spirit.

Since he was neither Ghost God or evil spirit, Chu Tianshu had no intention of digging up other people's secrets.

He surveyed the battlefield, feeling relieved, but also a little hungry.

"Bear meat... well, never mind, it's something that can talk."

Chu Tian joked, "I'm going to find something to eat. Anyone want to come along?"

Chen Taozhi was the first to respond, and Zhang Daqiang quickly called out to his teammates in the built-in channel.

A large group of people quickly gathered around.

The Americas ghosts, who were originally cleaning up the battlefield and absorbing resentment and yin energy, turned into ghost fire and converged on their master. They were then collected by the Soul-Summoning Banner, leaving only about a hundred people. They straightened their ties and followed Chu Tianshu's footsteps.

Chachai and the others looked back at the magical artifacts and weapons left behind by the sorcerers and demon-slaying warriors on the battlefield. To them, these were all valuable items, and they couldn't help but feel tempted.

But Luo Zhan stared at Chu Tianshu's retreating figure, and after a moment's thought, followed him.

In the dead of night, the moon was as clear as a mirror.

The leisurely crowd left the still-smoldering volcano and went down the mountain to have a meal.
