Chapter 434: Chapter 192 Inventory of Spoils of War_1

This Divine Grace hardly improved combat strength.

After passing through the museum’s God’s ruins and witnessing the strength of gods and some God Hunters, Lin Baici was now very eager to possess a combat-oriented Divine Grace.

Therefore, the second one made him very satisfied.

Great Impression Hand!

Once activated, Lin Baici could press three-dimensional objects into two dimensions, turning them into sticker-like entities.

However, this Great Divine Grace, although mighty, also consumed a huge amount of Divine Power. With Lin Baici’s current reserves, he could use it at most three times before his Divine Power was exhausted.

Lin Baici silently familiarized himself with these three Divine Graces, pulled out his phone to take a look, and saw that there was no signal. He turned to look out the window.

As the high-speed train moved, the utility poles standing in the fields swiftly retreated, like a series of abandoned scarecrows.

With no movement from the other side, Lin Baici settled down and began to take stock of his equipment.

In addition to the original Taboo things, he had acquired seven more in the museum.

The first one was a Pharaoh’s gold mask. This thing was too dangerous; once someone put it on, they wouldn’t want to take it off, feeling like the Pharaoh himself.

In fact, after more than thirty seconds, they would become a breeding ground for scarab beetles.

Other than being able to control scarab beetles, it was useless. Lin Baici thought he could sell it for Meteorite Coins.

The second one, Cat God Balance.

The rules pollution radiating from this artifact was terrifying. No matter how high a God Hunter’s combat strength, if they couldn’t answer its question, they’d be done for.

Lin Baici didn’t have the Eater God’s commentary and basically couldn’t survive it, so this Taboo thing was a ticking bomb, to be sold at the first opportunity.

It was much more powerful than the Pharaoh’s gold mask and should fetch a price more than ten times higher.

The third and fourth items were the White River Dolphin’s Tooth and the Black Death Bayonet, both seized from killing the main force member who got lost on the coast.

One allowed one to breathe underwater; the other could spread the plague, easily creating a major epidemic.

The fifth one was Anubis’ gold scepter, which could summon a pack of jackals to assist in combat. Lin Baici had given it to Kim Myungjin.

The sixth, the Nile No. 3, was an ancient Egyptian Solar Ship.

Although its design was somewhat ugly and the facilities inside were simple, and the ship didn’t even have gun turrets, let alone catapults, it was still a vehicle, and it had the attribute that it would never sink as long as it was in the sunlight.

Just these two points made it extremely valuable.

Lin Baici wouldn’t have to fear being drowned again when he went to areas with lots of water, such as the Amazon jungle and the city of Venice.

The seventh was the Pharaoh’s burial cloth.

It was currently wrapped around Lin Baici’s left wrist. This was a premium piece; once activated, it could transform someone into a mummy.

In this form, one would walk between life and death, significantly reducing physical damage received.

The only problem was that it could not be used frequently, or else one would start to carry the smell of spices and corpses, begin to despise the living, like corpses, and yearn for death.

Lastly, there was the Pharaoh’s scepter.

More of an SM toy than a weapon, using it on someone would gradually make them fall in love with the sensation, becoming fond of the person whipping them.

After this inventory check, the Pharaoh’s burial cloth was the most useful, followed by the Nile No. 3 and the White River Dolphin’s Tooth, two functional Taboo things.

The rest could be sold.

In terms of Divine Grace, Lin Baici made a big haul this time. Apart from these three, he also gained Cat Step Light Charm, Dance with Wolves, and Snake Bone Soft Body, all of which were quite practical Divine Graces.

Lin Baici now had a total of fifteen Divine Graces. Not only were there many, but the quality was high, and he obtained them in just three months, which was incredibly fast.

You should know Divine Grace is like a hand of cards: the more a God Hunter holds, the more choices they can make when dealing with rules pollution.

Phew!

Lin Baici took a deep breath, leaned back in his chair, and began to analyze the origins of these people.

They must be members of the Jiuzhou Security Bureau, right?

What’s the purpose of their visit here?

To capture him? Take him back as a test subject?

Lin Baici knew the sight of him devouring a god raw must have been frightening, but it seemed only Xia Hongmian had seen it.

So were these people sent by her?

Lin Baici’s thoughts were a bit scattered. If that was the case, what should he do?

Without a sound of footsteps, a woman dressed in black trousers and a white shirt appeared suddenly, as if out of nowhere, and sat down next to Lin Baici.

It was Xia Hongyao!

She was holding an ice cream and handed it to Lin Baici, "Red Medicine really likes this kind of stuff!"

"Isn’t it that no girl can resist sweets?"

As if he had deflected an oncoming attack or shovelled sand against an oncoming tide, for some reason, the moment Lin Baici heard Xia Hongyao speak, his irritated thoughts vanished, and he quickly calmed down instead.

He took the ice cream with composure and bit into it.

"You should’ve bought me a can of cola, Pepsi!"

"Next time!"

Xia Hongyao didn’t look at Lin Baici, but his every subtle expression was under her ’observation,’ so she was surprised by Lin Baici’s composure, which then turned into admiration.

Gutsy!

"Why choose to go home?"

Xia Hongyao asked, crossing one leg over the other and watching a movie playing on the high-speed train’s TV.

"Just been through a life-and-death experience, wanted to go home for a visit!" Lin Baici answered smoothly.

"Then do you still dare to be a God Hunter?" Xia Hongyao finished asking and added, "This is ’Infernal Affairs.’ You haven’t seen it, have you? It’s a very old movie!"

"Why wouldn’t I dare?"

Lin Baici countered.

"I, Xia Hongmian, formally invite you to join the Haijing Security Bureau. The previous genius recruitment terms are still in effect!"

Xia Hongmian turned her head to look at Lin Baici, extending her right hand.

Lin Baici raised an eyebrow, noticing a detail: Xia Hongmian had mentioned the Haijing Security Bureau, not the Jiuzhou Security Bureau.

What was her true aim?

Lin Baici knew that most God Hunters couldn’t directly touch God’s bones, yet he had eaten a God alive—wasn’t she curious?

"Bai Ci, the world is vast, and right now, you are like someone who has just learned addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, seeing only the math within one hundred. Beyond that, there is calculus, there is algebra and geometry..."

Xia Hongmian didn’t continue because she felt that with Lin Baici’s intelligence, he should understand.

"Heh heh!"

Lin Baici laughed. What Xia Hongmian meant was that the things he cared about were as meaningless to her as kindergarten-level arithmetic.

"Personal strength is always frail, unable to contend with a group, even the Big Devil had to recruit four heavenly kings!"

Xia Hongmian looked into Lin Baici’s eyes, "Don’t you want to take a look at the summit of the world with me?"

"Very few can stand by my side, not even my sister is qualified!"

With things put this way by her, did Lin Baici even have a choice?

So Lin Baici shook hands with Xia Hongmian: "I hope you won’t regret this decision today!"

"Regret is an emotion without any meaning!"

Xia Hongmian smiled slightly. Once Lin Baici released her hand, she stood up, "Would you be interested in being an examiner?"

Lin Baici stayed silent, waiting for Xia Hongmian to continue.

"With your strength, participating in the God Hunter qualification assessment would be too bullying. Plus, I hope you take a look at what goals the prospective newcomers have when they step into this circle, so how about becoming an examiner?"

Xia Hongmian explained, although she certainly had other motives, there was no need to tell Lin Baici.

"Would there be objections?"

Lin Baici was concerned.

Examiner?

Isn’t that typically a role assumed by the most prestigious and powerful?

"That’s your problem to deal with!"

The TV series had reached the part about three more years.

"Heh heh!"

Lin Baici laughed: "I understand!"

If there were those who objected, he’d just have to beat them until they agreed!

"I wish you a pleasant journey!"

Xia Hongmian walked a few steps forward, then suddenly stopped, "I hear you’re planning a ’Busan Trip’?"

"Right!"

Lin Baici, not bothered to feign indifference, acknowledged directly.

Kim Myungjin had not thought about hiding his identity; with Xia Hongmian’s influence, a simple check would reveal all, that her brother, Jin Xian, a member of the radicals, had surely tried to recruit him.

For a God Hunter, a Divine Ruins seldom explored by others is like the most enticing woman—who wouldn’t want to sleep with her?

The Busan Divine Ruins were a treasure of Goryeo!

"I hope you find a good harvest!"

Xia Hongmian left.

Lin Baici looked out the window.

Joining the Jiuzhou Security Bureau and blending in with the organization was the only way to a bright future, because in the future, he could be sitting in Xia Hongmian’s ministerial seat.

Real power wasn’t about fighting alone, but about one command that could mobilize several elite God Hunter Groups to die for you.

And it was good to lean on a strong backer; Lin Baici was still too weak now.

He had to think about his mother as well.

After joining the Jiuzhou Security Bureau, there would be professional bodyguards to protect his mother!

Ding dong! Ding dong!

Lin Baici’s phone rang.

He took it out and saw that the phone had signal again, with several messages and WeChat messages notifying of missed calls.

Great Detective Xia: Little Linzi, how did it go with my sister? My sister is a bit strange—you’ll have to bear with her. If she offended you in any way, I apologize on her behalf! My sister is actually not bad.

...

Hua Yue Yu and Kim Myungjin hadn’t sent any messages; given their personalities, they wouldn’t do so, which meant they currently lacked personal freedom.

Li Shan Ghost: Heh heh, I found a part-time job. Two hundred a day, I’ll earn 1400 after seven days. Jealous, right? Don’t come looking for me these days; I’m too busy.

Lin Baici thought back to his last trip to Haijing Normal University. Because of seeing a person, he suddenly felt hungry—that place seemed unsafe as well.

He hoped his friend wouldn’t encounter any rule contamination.

Lin Baici called his mother.

"What’s the matter? You miss home on the first day?"

His mother’s voice sounded tired and worried, "Or just buy a ticket back; I’ll make you something delicious to eat."

"I’m not coming back!"

Lin Baici had thought that since the ticket was already bought, not returning would be a waste, but after hearing his mother’s voice, he changed his mind, "It’s a critical moment for my senior’s website. I need to write code for him. These next few days will be busy. But if the website sells, I might make some good money—possibly enough for a down payment on a house!"

Lin Baici decided to find an excuse to buy a house as quickly as possible and move his mother over. That way he could rest easy.
