Chapter 436: Chapter 436

My daughter is the best in the world: Red Medicine won’t be in trouble, right?

With Xia Hongyao’s character, once a Divine Ruin appears, she’s definitely going to get involved, and she might even get hurt.

Feast Guy: @PrimeMinisterCrane, quick, give Director Xia a call and ask.

Everyone is worried about Xia Hongyao’s safety; someone has already made a phone call.

High Ponytail is sincere and cheerful, the jester of the group. Whoever is idle would jest with her, so everyone has a good relationship.

Great Detective Xia: @all members, I’m here!

Xia Hongyao has never been the focus of so many big shots before, so she’s feeling a little proud.

This proves my importance is growing.

In the past, when Xia Hongyao was involved in Breaking Divine Ruins, she wasn’t a main force and couldn’t get firsthand information. Although she’s in this group of team leaders, she actually hasn’t contributed anything.

She knew that if it weren’t for her older sister’s face, even if she wasn’t kicked out of the group, probably not many people would bother with her.

Xia Hongyao didn’t leave the group; she bore the burden with humility, hoping to gain personal experience from the daily discussions of the various team leaders and learn how to be a qualified team leader, so she could reduce her team members’ casualties when leading them in conquering Divine Ruins in the future.

Ever since she met Lin Baici, her status in the group had clearly risen because she could also share some Divine Ruins experience.

And it was firsthand, frontline information.

For example, this time, I saw Lin Baici eating a God raw, who among you has seen that?

Of course, such things must not be said.

PrimeMinisterCrane: What’s the situation with the Provincial Museum Divine Ruin in Haijing?

Great Detective Xia: Pollution outbreak, Divine Ruins formed, I can’t talk about the details, but with your clearance, you can look it up.

Those in the group are Dragon Level big shots with high clearance, and after applying to the Security Bureau, can obtain detailed information on the Provincial Museum Divine Ruin, but Xia Hongyao can’t say that directly, as it would be against regulations.

The reason she could talk about the Palm Harbor God Market before was because it didn’t involve any Gods.

Hotpot Fairy: It seems the secrecy level is quite high this time.

While the leaders were chatting, they had already started applying to access the information.

Feast Guy: Did a lot of people die?

Great Detective Xia: Yeah, almost a total wipeout for the third team, Team Leader Zhang also died, more than half casualties for the ninth team, Team Leader Fei died in action!

Part of the ninth team was scattered due to rule pollution; if they had still followed Fei Xiao, they would have faced complete annihilation too.

The crowd was shocked.

The organizational structure of the Security Bureau’s branches in each city is similar, with the teams numbered lower having stronger capabilities.

The God Hunters of Haijing City are a notch above those in smaller cities; their ninth team would match the top three teams in smaller cities.

But now, not to mention the ninth team, even the third team is wiped out.

What kind of rule pollution did they encounter?

Half Victory: What about the Lost Coast team?

Great Detective Xia: All gone. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on N()velFire.net

Hotpot Fairy: Can’t be?!

This organization has been active for more than a decade; its enemies are not omnipresent, but they are certainly not few. And now they are wiped out?

PrimeMinisterCrane: Did you witness it with your own eyes?

Great Detective Xia: Yes!

Half Victory: From your tone, did you get deeply involved in the purification of this Divine Ruin?

Great Detective Xia: Correct!

Xia Hongyao thought to herself that she had even seen Lin Baici eating a God alive. It could be said that if Lin Baici hadn’t found the Pharaoh and consumed the God in time, many more would have died, including some God Hunters.

Because this Divine Ruin was truly challenging.

Big Snake Goddess: What about that 18CM Lin Baici, you’re not with him again, are you?

Great Detective Xia: Haha!

Xia Hongyao didn’t want to laugh; that would seem too proud, but sorry, she really couldn’t help it!

The ability of our Little Linzi to tackle Divine Ruins,

Is the best in the world!

Big Snake Goddess: Does 18CM have time? Let’s all get together for a meal!

Hotpot Fairy: Right, come to Guangdong Capital, I’ll treat you to hotpot!

Feast Guy: Making them go to Guangdong Capital? You’re really lacking sincerity. It’s got to be Haijing! Red Medicine, bring Lin Baici, bro will take you to a feast.

Although Xia Hongyao didn’t say anything except for ’Haha’, these big shots in the group are not ordinary people; they deduced the ins and outs directly based on Xia Hongyao’s abilities and personality.

That Lin Baici must have been the main contributor to the purification of the Provincial Museum Divine Ruin this time.

Now they want to meet him.

PrimeMinisterCrane: Such a formidable new talent must not be missed; persuade your sister to be kinder to him.

No matter how talented a God Hunter is, in front of Xia Hongmian, they don’t measure up as geniuses, so PrimeMinisterCrane is worried Xia Hongmian might neglect Lin Baici.

Great Detective Xia: Don’t worry, Little Linzi has already agreed to join the Security Bureau. From now on, we’re colleagues.

Great Detective Xia: If you have any rule pollution you can’t handle, you can come to borrow our help!

After a bit more casual chat, everyone dispersed and once again made a request to the Haijing Security Bureau to access detailed information on the purification of the Provincial Museum Divine Ruin.

Then they discovered, Lin Baici indeed participated in several rule pollutions, was a major contributor to purifying this Divine Ruin; though tough, these pieces of information were not top secret, at least not for these Dragon Level individuals, who could handle this Divine Ruin.

Half Victory, Ghost, as well as PrimeMinisterCrane, thought more deeply, suspecting that Xia Hongmian might be hiding some secrets.

Harbor City, Dragon Phoenix Garden Villa Area, a mansion on the mid-hill,

a middle-aged man was exercising on the treadmill while listening to a subordinate’s report.

"Uncle Nine, the Lost Coast team is completely gone, and the difficulty of this Divine Ruin is extremely high; our people were almost totally trapped inside, with only two survivors."

"Xia Hongyao sent a lot of people to protect Lin Baici; we had no chance to act, so we had to abandon the plan!"

"Uncle Nine, unless something unexpected happens, Lin Baici will accept Xia Hongmian’s invitation and join the Jiuzhou Security Bureau. And it seems he will be an important person to cultivate. If we want to deal with him in the future, it will be very troublesome!"

Uncle Nine quietly listened and then turned off the treadmill, "Continue to keep an eye on Lin Baici, but be careful. As soon as you notice anything wrong, evacuate immediately!"

Uncle Nine picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from his body, then made a phone call, "The Divine Ruin at the Provincial Museum, did you cause that?"

The voice on the phone was that of a woman, cold and harsh.

"What, you dare to do it, but you don’t dare to admit it?"

"Nine Dragons, mind your tone. You are just one of our dogs. Don’t ask about things you shouldn’t!"

"Haha, Diana, if I ever hear those words from you again, I guarantee your family will all be neatly laid in their graves!"

Nine Dragons said this cheerfully, but Diana on the other end of the phone felt chills running through her spine.

"Since you’re unwilling to say anything, I think our cooperation is over!"

Nine Dragons hung up the phone.

He hadn’t even made it to the bathroom when the phone rang again.

It was Diana calling back.

"A God has appeared, suspected to be related to Lin Baici. Continue to monitor him. Moreover, since he has joined the Jiuzhou Security Bureau, we will test him at an appropriate time!"

Diana outlined the plan, "Don’t hurt him for the time being!"

"Alright, also, my people have suffered many casualties this time. Remember to transfer the ’commission’ soon!"

After Nine Dragons finished speaking, he hung up and stroked his chin.

"Lin Baici? Gods? This world is getting more and more interesting!"

The afternoon of the second day of the National Day holiday, Lin Baici returned to Haijing. He stood in front of the university gate, looking at the students coming and going, especially the couples, which made him envious.

His own life wouldn’t have this kind of peaceful, leisurely, and comfortable campus life anymore.

"Forget it, you can’t have it all."

Lin Baici thought about his current annual salary of 100 million yuan and felt that it was acceptable. After all, working for one year would mean financial freedom.

Lin Baici turned and went to the nearby Yonghui Supermarket. Yesterday in the Divine Ruin, he had used up a lot of supplies and needed to replenish them.

The Divine Ruins came without warning, catching people off guard.

Because it was the National Day holiday, the supermarket wasn’t crowded. Lin Baici pushed a cart and navigated through the aisles.

Over a hundred yuan for something the size of your palm?

What’s this mineral water?

Dozens of yuan for a bottle?

Lin Baici tossed two bottles into his cart, wanting to try something new.

And this Spanish ham, thinly sliced, on sale for two hundred yuan each!

The imported section of the store had items priced more exorbitant than the next. Lin Baici didn’t really care about these things; buying them was just to taste something new and vent his frustrated mood through shopping.

When Lin Baici heard someone calling him, he turned and saw Gu Qingxiang pushing a shopping cart not far away.

Today, the counselor wore a blue and white checkered cotton dress with a sweater and vest, and she had on a pair of black-framed glasses.

Such a pretty woman with a good figure, yet dressed .

"You didn’t go home?"

Lin Baici saw that Gu Qingxiang’s cart was filled with a lot of vegetables, as well as noodles, steamed buns, and frozen dumplings—looking every bit the image of a housewife.

"My home is too far away, traveling back and forth wastes too much time!"

Gu Qingxiang appraised Lin Baici, "Why didn’t you go back?"

Generally, freshmen would seize the opportunity to return home during the seven-day National Day holiday, it being their first time away from home.

"I couldn’t get a ticket!"

Lin Baici made up an excuse.

Gu Qingxiang hesitated but then made an offer, "Would you like to come to my place for dinner tonight?"

Lin Baici pushed his cart over to her.

For some reason, maybe because Gu Qingxiang seemed so gentle, weak, and harmless, Lin Baici felt a sense of security when he was with her.

It was like the feeling of a big bad wolf in front of a little rabbit.

"Why would you buy such expensive things? That’s too much!"

Gu Qingxiang frowned slightly, "If it’s money you’ve earned yourself, you should spend it on something more meaningful. If it’s your parents’ money, you should be even more frugal!"

Lin Baici put all the things he had just bought back on the shelves.

Seeing this, Gu Qingxiang smiled with satisfaction, "A student willing to be taught is a delight. Let’s go, I’ll make dumplings for you tonight. What filling would you like?"

"Beef with green onion?"

Lin Baici was starting to look forward to Gu Qingxiang’s cooking. After eating the dumplings, maybe there could be something else?
