Chapter 1373: Chapter 1373

"It’s evident that many of the forces deemed first-rate probably have no clue about the real situation. Only those with real connections to the real world can truly be big players."

Just think about it, an organization as shady as the Dark Night Mercenary Group definitely wouldn’t get any opportunities. There might have been chances, but it’s also possible their memories were wiped clean because they have no tier-seven warriors backing them.

Du You didn’t know why tier-seven warriors disfavor staying on Earth, but there must be a reason.

These tier-seven warriors, they must have some kind of relationship with Earth. Many forces on Earth are likely under their control, or at least their peripheral forces. Some are well-concealed, while others are not.

But it’s undeniable that to become a real force acknowledged by the upper echelons, one must join them. At minimum, they need to recruit many others.

Lin Yucha realized this too and said, "This matter, although it can’t be disclosed, could be hinted to Li Minglu. We need to start recruiting more people as well."

"But the qualification to join is tier-four, and without reaching tier-four, one doesn’t even have the qualifications to recommend others for membership."

Hearing Lin Yushi’s words, Lin Yucha said impatiently, "Fool, didn’t you see those people doing menial tasks? Although many are tier-four or higher, there are also those below tier-four and even ordinary people. These people all have their own abilities, especially in management. Isn’t Li Minglu just the type we need?"

"What you mean is, even if they are not strong, it’s possible for them to join. Perhaps they have different testing methods since they aren’t going there to fight, but to support the fighters." Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝗂𝗋𝖾⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥

Du You understood, many people are not going there to fight, to test them in a way that involves fighting is almost impossible.

"In that case, ask around in the next few days, and maybe let Li Minglu have a test. I trust him, Li Minglu is smart," Du You was very sure of this.

Smart people won’t fall apart during such tests or yearn to join another world.

Suddenly, Du You narrowed his eyes, "I’m starting to suspect, those cult organizations on Earth, it’s probably not that they can’t be eradicated, but that they are intentionally left untouched."

Lin Yucha also thought of this, "Eliminating them is taxing, but keeping them has three benefits."

"Which three?" Du You pondered.

"The first benefit is giving people around the world a common enemy. Under such a sense of crisis, more strong individuals can be trained. The second is to gather those whose resolve is already weak, exposing them early rather than later when they become stronger and more dangerous. This is a method to differentiate the inner nature of Professionals."

Du You nodded, "I’ve thought of those two benefits. What’s the third?"

"The third of course, is to help humanity expand territory. Earth is so vast, many regions are restricted, and normal cities are rare. Expanding territory is not easy."

Then Lin Yushi continued, "I get it now, those people don’t dare establish cities in normal areas, they only run to remote dense forest areas, which indirectly helps humanity to expand territory, right?"

Du You smiled, so that was the case. He really hadn’t thought of that. The thinking of those in power certainly is different from ordinary people. Keeping these people, although it harms some innocents, the benefits are much larger.

There’s no absolute right or wrong when it comes to the survival of Earth. Who would think of the so-called innocents in such a time?

Following, Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi went to handle the matter of Li Minglu’s joining.

Upon knowing Du You had returned, Li Mengyao and Xi Qianxue also came back to Du You’s side. However, what made Du You gloomy was that Xi Qianxue wouldn’t let him touch her. Looking at Xi Qianxue’s beautiful appearance, Du You felt waves of discomfort.

"I’ve agreed with Li Mengyao to create opportunities for her. But I don’t want to cause a conflict, considering we will all be family eventually. Before you make your move, I’m not going to let you touch her," Xi Qianxue said gently.

Du You knew that Xi Qianxue was very determined inside, and once she made a decision, he couldn’t change it.

Du You didn’t like to force, so he would just let it be. However, leisure time at home hardly offered any good opportunities. Although Xi Qianxue continuously tried to create opportunities, Du You just didn’t feel it.

He knew that just by reaching out his hand Li Mengyao would follow him. But the hardest part wasn’t this, it was Du You’s character—he just couldn’t reach out. He didn’t even understand what had happened with Xi Qianxue last time.

Well, it’s probably best to let things take their natural course.

Du You had also inquired, Li Mengyao and Xi Qianxue’s teammates were also advancing towards tier-four. They believed that by this year or next, they would reach tier-four.

Reaching tier-four in the fifth or sixth grade was already quite impressive, but it definitely wasn’t as outstanding as Li Mengyao and Xi Qianxue. Because reaching tier-four at this age was rare, but not too rare.

By then, both of them would bring their teams to the area controlled by Shenghai Kingdom to train under Du You’s guidance and quickly improve. Recently, both of them also started to finalize their last skills.

With Du You’s help and as a role model, both of them now no longer considered giving up any skills, but rather advancing all their skills to ensure they could keep up with Du You’s pace. Although this required a large amount of Crystal Coins, with Du You’s help, both believed they could manage, even if it meant wasting a bit of time.

After a period of rest, the two sisters finally helped Li Minglu pass the alliance test, becoming an Earth Warrior.

Naturally, the main function of Li Minglu was to find suitable individuals within the company to recommend for joining. Since the company was Du You’s, task points would also involve Du You, or rather, Du You would take the major share.

After some reflection during this time, Du You temporarily abandoned the idea of Li Mengyao and Xi Qianxue joining in.

The front lines were too dangerous, and with their power level, it was not easy to accumulate the necessary points. Better to wait a while, perhaps until they reached tier-six.

By then, Du You believed he might already be tier-seven. Although tier-seven isn’t rare on Earth’s battlegrounds, it’s still a decent combat power, at least enough to protect his own people.
