Chapter 857: Chapter 857

Li Yintong shrugged her shoulders, "So paying for this kind of activity is definitely not something the hall master would do, and he couldn’t recruit the necessary professional talent for it either."

In short, Nine Dragons Hall serves those billionaires, focusing solely on money, and they even take on the dirty jobs that some countries don’t want to be seen handling. Find the newest release on novelFɪre.net

They wouldn’t touch this money-burning venture!

Tai Mei hesitated for a moment, deciding she still wanted to drop a bombshell in hopes of gaining Lin Baici’s appreciation, "This time at Busan Divine Ruins, our Nine Dragons Hall deployed five teams, a total of 25 people, each with more than three years of experience, and each team led by a Dragon Level!"

"If the Qin Palace Divine Ruins, which had been dormant for over five years, hadn’t started to spread again, the hall master would have sent even stronger people!"

Both Busan and Qin Palace are Divine Ruins with over a decade of history, but when it comes to fame, pollution intensity, and the abundance of Taboo things, Busan doesn’t even come close to Qin Palace.

The treasures within Qin Palace are far more plentiful and precious!

"Why did Sejong Zheng choose to open Busan Divine Ruins now?"

"First, Sejong Zheng was worried that after opening it, the Dragon Levels might actually purify Busan Divine Ruins, and that would mean a huge loss for them, so they leaped on the popularity of Qin Palace!"

"Now that the Dragon Levels are all gathered in Qinling, focusing their attention on Qin Palace, those coming to Busan Divine Ruins are the lower-tier God Hunters. This way, Sejong Zheng can ensure there are sacrificial lambs to gather ample intelligence, without worrying they would purify this Divine Ruins!"

Kim Myungjin had been silently standing beside Lin Baici, but upon hearing this, she looked puzzled, "That doesn’t make sense, if Qin Palace is more important, why would your hall master send so many people here?"

"Because our hall master received a sky-high commission, so generous that sending a Dragon Level was simply a matter of decency."

Li Yintong put on a secretive expression, "Do you know who paid it?"

Lin Baici played along.

"Shendai Consortium."

When Tai Mei dropped the name, she realized by Lin Baici’s unflustered demeanor that he had no clue about the Shendai Consortium.

"People have only heard of companies like Mitsubishi, Toyota, Sony, but in reality, Shendai Corporation has even greater influence, controlling stakes in over seventy percent of the major companies in Dongying. That’s just the tip of the iceberg."

Kim Myungjin explained, "This consortium covertly controls many religious organizations. Many of the religions in Goryeo have intricate connections with it!"

"As for politics, I needn’t say much. You just need to know that it’s their home turf!"

Li Yintong nodded, "I heard from the hall master that if companies like Toyota or Sony went under, it would cause major economic turbulence in Dongying, with millions unable to eat. But if the Shendai Consortium fell, it would be the end of the nation’s fortune; Dongying might as well change its name."

"Does that Dayao have any connection with this corporation?"

Lin Baici thought of the Japanese he had killed.

"Definitely, but I’m not clear on the specifics. However, I speculate that it must stem from the influence held by different factions!"

"In short, Qin Palace is currently the center of attention and not to be trifled with. It’s better to take advantage of the diversion and sneak into Busan Divine Ruins."

Li Yintong laughed heartily, "But the big shots of Shendai, despite spending a fortune and being well-prepared, still underestimated this Divine Ruins!"

Lin Baici nodded; calling Divine Ruins with a God present a playground for the Death God was no exaggeration.

"The Dragon Level from my family might as well already be dead at some station," Li Yintong said as she thought of the late Big Brother Xiang, feeling depressed with a heavy sigh.

"Go take a rest. To get out as soon as possible, we’ll continue to work in the New World tomorrow."

Lin Baici returned to his room.

After a satisfying bath, he lay down on the bed, browsing through the Worker APP on his phone.

There was a knock at the door.

Lin Baici opened the door; the Goryeo girl, fresh from a shower and wearing jeans and a tight T-shirt, smiled and invited him, "I made ramen, would you like to have a bowl in my room?"

Having been in Goryeo for so long, Lin Baici understood that when a girl invited someone to eat ramen, it meant she was interested in him, and he could stay the night.

[Even top predators don’t hunt every day; once sated, they also need to work on propagating their species, trying to expand their tribes whenever possible.]

Lin Baici’s heartbeat quickened, but before the two could return to the room, their phones rang simultaneously.

Kim Myungjin was secretly annoyed. Who could be such a nuisance, ruining her chance?

Lin Baici answered, "Hello!"

"Task correction, please date a Gwangju native. As long as the other party falls in love with you, you can pass, get a ticket, and leave Busan Divine Ruins."

"If you don’t date, you will stay in Gwangju indefinitely, your self-awareness will be contaminated, and you’ll become a new native!"

The voice on the other end was still a mechanical female voice, devoid of emotion.

Upon hearing this, Lin Baici frowned deeply, "Love is something without clear standards, right?"

"Don’t worry. Seven days later, at six in the evening, Empress Restaurant will offer a special candlelit dinner for couples."

"If the couple is truly in love, they will enjoy a romantic night!"

"If they harbor ulterior motives, then Cupid’s iron fist will teach them to be human again!"

"I wish you find your soulmate soon!"
