Chapter 239: Chapter 126 The Sky-high Invitation_2

"No need, thank you!"

Lin Baici guessed Kim Myungjin’s thoughts. He was touched but declined because he had been planning to buy a house lately and didn’t have spare cash.

Outside the private room, several male waiters were gathered together chatting idly.

"Damn, it’s my first time seeing someone wear a chest-exposing knit sweater like that, so sexy!"

"Looks like a Korean, right?"

"Who cares what nationality she is? As long as she’s beautiful, that’s all that matters!"

"She’s really tall, must be over one meter eighty, right? I’d have to stand on my tiptoes just to kiss her!"

"Damn it, I am almost dying of jealousy over that guy. Do you know what I heard when I went in to serve the dishes just now? They’re discussing high-end topics like stocks and funds!"

"I can do that too. I’ve also got billion-yuan projects I could discuss with that beauty!"

"Bro Miao, let me serve the dishes next time, give me a chance. Let me get a look at her too!"

"Scram! You slack off when you’re supposed to serve dishes on a normal day, and now you’re eager?"

The waiters murmured among themselves, talking softly. It was all just fantasizing in their heads; the dishes that the two patrons had ordered cost as much as two months of their salary.

Lin Baici spat out a chicken bone and, seeing Kim Myungjin start to speak but then stop, asked, "What’s wrong? Something bothering you?"

"My brother gave me a task, but I don’t know if I should tell you!"

Kim Myungjin was conflicted.

"Let’s hear it!"

Lin Baici peeled a shrimp and returned the conversation to Kim Myungjin.

"Our Goryeo, the God’s ruins in Busan that have been quiet for ten years, have started to spread again. Although the speed isn’t fast, it’s ultimately a hidden danger!"

Kim Myungjin chose his words carefully, "My brother led a team inside once, sealed three taboo things, but couldn’t find the god’s bones and had to withdraw to recuperate."

"He wants to invite you to Goryeo to break the Busan Divine Ruins!"

Lin Baici’s eyebrows raised.

"According to the current international agreements, when God Hunters go to other countries to break divine ruins, they have to hand over a portion of the earnings. My brother promises that if you break the Busan Divine Ruins, all the profits will be yours. Additionally, he will offer ten billion yuan, ten thousand Meteorite Coins, and an A level taboo object."

Kim Myungjin relayed the price Jin Xian had offered.

"That generous?"

Lin Baici was somewhat surprised.

Generally speaking, if a country has a divine ruin that cannot be broken, it will choose to open the ruins for exploration to God Hunters from all countries.

No compensation is normally required as long as it is promised that all the spoils go to the God Hunters.

For example, the Qin Palace Divine Ruins in the Nine States, even though it is as difficult as climbing to heaven, still attracts God Hunters who wish to try their luck.

This is because such ruins, having existed for several years and under the pollution of the radiation from god’s bones, will lead to changes in the landscape and various objects, indicating the presence of numerous valuable spoils.

Like Lin Baici’s Vanilla Padded Mat— for patients with Alzheimer’s, that’s nothing short of a godsend.

Therefore, if a God Hunter discovers a taboo object that can cure a terminal illness, not only would they get rich instantly, but they would also become a savior for those patients.

"That’s right. Even if you can’t break the divine ruins, any taboo things you bring back are yours to keep without handing over any taxes!"

Kim Myungjin looked at Lin Baici, "But I don’t recommend you go!"

"Because it’s too difficult?"

Lin Baici took a sip of tea.

"Yes!"

Kim Myungjin spoke candidly, "The danger level of the Busan Divine Ruins ranks fourth in Goryeo. A Dragon-level has fallen there. I think you should not explore it until you become Dragon-level."

"How does it compare to the Qin Palace Divine Ruins in the Nine States?"

Lin Baici was puzzled, "Why do I feel like no one discusses the Busan Divine Ruins on the Origin Forum?"

"Firstly, the Qin Palace Divine Ruins are in the Nine States. Several renowned God Hunters died inside, making it very famous. Secondly, it was open to God Hunters from all nations, but until now, no one has breached it. The Busan Divine Ruins are different; foreign God Hunters have never been allowed to enter!"

Kim Myungjin explained.

"Why not allow it?"

Lin Baici didn’t understand, "The longer this continues, the harder it gets to break!"

"..."

Kim Myungjin was embarrassed to say.

The Nine States is vast and diverse, and letting others explore one or two divine ruins wouldn’t be too great a loss, but Goryeo is different.

After so many years, there must have been top-notch taboo things appearing in the Busan Divine Ruins. If they were taken by God Hunters from other countries, the Koreans would be grief-stricken.

In plain terms, it’s stinginess. If I can’t get it myself, I’d rather let the ruins continue, even at the cost of eroding the land we live on. I wouldn’t want to give any advantage to people from other nations.

Lin Baici was sharp; seeing Kim Myungjin’s demeanor, he guessed the situation and was even more astonished, "Then why invite me to go?"

"Because my brother admires you."

Kim Myungjin put down her chopsticks and looked at Lin Baici, "My brother wants to recruit you. He wants to gauge your strength through the Busan Divine Ruins and then figure out what it would take to persuade you."

"Huh? Recruit me?"

Lin Baici was taken aback; this was something he had not expected.

"Yes!"

Kim Myungjin showed a wry smile, "Actually, after we came out from the Dragon Temple ruins and I told him about you, he wanted to recruit you. But I thought you wouldn’t leave."

"Yes!"

Lin Baici nodded. He indeed had no interest in Goryeo.

"So I didn’t tell you. But after the Palm Harbor God Market incident, he brought it up again, and as his sister, I had to comply."

Kim Myungjin’s heart was pounding—she was actually somewhat hopeful, "If you agree to come to Goryeo, you can ask for anything at all. As long as it’s within our power, we will do our best to satisfy you."
