Deities Are All Just My Food
Chapter 1000 - 472: From now on, call me God Lin!

Chapter 1000: Chapter 472: From now on, call me God Lin!

Xia Hongyao instantly tensed up.

Dragon Level was universally acknowledged as the strongest rank of God Hunters, positioned at the apex of the food chain.

When such powerhouses recruit, ordinary God Hunters simply cannot resist.

A strong team leader often has an excellent team. To enhance their strength, God Hunters aimed for three primary things—collecting more Meteorites, Divine Grace, and Taboo things.

Even a fool knew that in a formidable team, acquiring resources would be faster and safer.

Xia Hongyao was self-aware; within her Seventh Star team, Lin Baici was the cornerstone.

As the team leader, she merely played a supporting role. Many things were earned by Lin Baici himself, so she couldn’t compare herself to Pan Yunxiang.

"Little Linzi."

Xia Hongyao wanted to persuade Lin Baici to stay but hesitated as the words reached her lips.

She couldn’t bear to see him go, but she also couldn’t hinder his progress.

It was natural for people to aspire to greater things, as water flows downwards.

The colleagues spectating from the sidelines had many envious eyes turn red.

Dragon Level team leaders were rare; moreover, they were picky, and an ordinary person couldn’t just join their teams.

"Thanks for the kind offer, Captain Pan, but I’m quite comfortable in Red Medicine’s team and I don’t want to switch!"

Lin Baici refused.

Are you kidding? He had so many secrets. Exploring God’s ruins with a Dragon Level, although it would increase efficiency, would also expose him.

Besides, High Ponytail is so beautiful.

Lin Baici, being a common man, of course chose to hang out with a beauty.

Whoa!

The crowd stirred again.

"He refused?"

"Is he crazy?"

"What crazy? If my leader was as competent as Xiong Da, I wouldn’t leave either!"

Everyone murmured and joked among themselves.

But everyone knew that Xiong Da wasn’t the true reason.

Lin Baici came from Haijing; who was his immediate superior?

Xia Hongmian!

A potential candidate for the head of the Public Security Bureau, once the strongest newcomer in Nine States, undeniably the best.

With Lin Baici’s performance, he was undoubtedly highly valued by Xia Hongmian, so why would he switch teams?

Pan Yunxiang might be Dragon Level and strong, but when compared to Xia Hongmian, he just didn’t measure up.

Zhang Hao and Xie Yangchun, having just arrived, felt awkward upon hearing this.

"You must be highly admired by Director Xia, right?"

Zhang Hao chimed in.

He also subtly reminded Pan Yunxiang that it wasn’t that his influence was lacking; it was that the opposition’s bigwig was too formidable.

When Pan Yunxiang heard Lin Baici’s reply, his expression darkened, and a flash of displeasure crossed his mind. However, he was not foolish.

He didn’t need Zhang Hao’s reminder to figure it out.

"Very well, we’ll have the opportunity to explore God’s ruins together!"

Pan Yunxiang made a courteous remark, still showing generous spirit.

For him, the loss of a rare and powerful Taboo thing and two Divine Graces was quite painful, but he had to uphold his reputation.

After all, it was a trial he had secretly arranged. Now, having suffered a setback, seeking revenge would definitely ruin his reputation.

He could only blame that Lin Baici was too damn strong!

He had thought it would be good enough if these people just passed his test; he hadn’t expected them to completely shatter Wu Sanlang.

Outrageous!

With that thought, Pan Yunxiang’s courteous remark carried a bit of sincerity; he genuinely wanted to explore the Divine Ruins with Lin Baici.

"Thank you, Captain Pan."

Lin Baici looked at Pan Yunxiang’s thinning temples with some emotion; even God Hunters couldn’t escape balding!

What did Eater God say about him again?

Dislikes women and prefers to keep female ghosts?

Honestly, Lin Baici was curious about what Pan Yunxiang’s female ghosts looked like!

"Some people’s performances are truly indescribable!"

Pan Yunxiang turned to the crowd, serious-faced: "Based on everyone’s performances today, I will assign your duties!"

"Everyone take a rest. The day after tomorrow, I will arrange a written test to familiarize you with the assessments, so you don’t lose face at the actual venue!"

"Dismissed!"

Pan Yunxiang nodded to Lin Baici once more before leaving the dormitory building.

Xie Yangchun went to clean up the shattered wine jars as part of the aftermath.

Clap, clap!

Xia Hongyao was very pleased with Lin Baici’s response, and patted his back heartily.

Ever since they came out from Busan Divine Ruins, Xia Hongyao had been worried about Lin Baici being poached and often suffered from insomnia. Now, after this test, she finally felt relieved.

My Little Linzi, truly remarkable.

As a reward, I’ll definitely take up the role of his godmother. If he’s ever in need, just come to me, and I will make sure my godson is well-fed and healthy.

"Hello, my name is Zhang Hao, from the Haijing headquarters."

Zhang Hao smiled and extended her hand to Lin Baici. Recruiting isn’t something rushed; if once didn’t work, there’s always a second try. The scythe isn’t going anywhere, it can wait.

Moreover, Lin Baici’s performance was worth Zhang Hao’s time and effort.

As the crowd heard this name, there was a burst of exclamations, then they sized up this woman in a black leather outfit that accentuated her curves, incredibly sexy.

"Lin Baici!"

Lin Baici shook hands with Zhang Hao, judging from the expressions of the onlookers, he figured that this person must be someone famous from the security bureau.

"Why didn’t you go to Qin Palace?"

Xia Hongyao was curious.

Zhang Hao, Huang Tingzhi, and Lin Zixin, known as the Three Heroes of Beijing, were the most outstanding trio from the age group around twenty-six or twenty-seven—the generation before Xia Hongyao—with extraordinary records.

"The Director was worried I’d die in Qin Palace!"

Zhang Hao shrugged helplessly. She was actually quite eager to explore Qin Palace.
