Chapter 590: Chapter 293: This Isn’t Cowardice; It’s the Mark of a Wise Man!_1

"Get lost!"

Lin Baici rebuked, looking at Quan Sangin with disgust, as if he were staring at a pile of dogshit. He knew this guy was joking, but such comments were still disgusting.

"Haha!"

Quan Sangin quickly forced a laugh: "I saw the atmosphere was tense, just trying to lighten the mood!"

Kim Jinsoo sized up Xia Hongyao with a pair of big bears hidden in her clothes, then glanced at Gu Qingqiu with her frail classic beauty, and then Kim Myungjin, whose hot figure made even her want to cop a feel...

Right, there was also this girl whose ID card declares her an adult but who looks like an underage girl—so many plays could be had!

How skilled must the plastic surgeon Quan Sangin found be to make him able to outshine these natural beauties?

"God Lin, let’s drop that, and quickly tell us why you guys feel that Li God Doctor is in the north?"

Choi Sunsil was fed up with this rule pollution and wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"A guess!"

Lin Baici couldn’t be bothered to explain to these Koreans, but seeing the confused looks on Kim Myungjin and Xia Hongyao’s faces, he still elaborated a bit.

"I inquired about that Li God Doctor’s background from Dae Jang Geum. He either learned about the Weed of Life and Death from others or discovered it himself, and the first time he saw the Weed, it must have been in the north. So we head north, and maybe we’ll find some important information!"

"But if we don’t find anything, it will be a waste of time!"

Quan Sangin analyzed: "You also said there is someone pulling the strings behind the scenes. This person has breached Shangqingfu City, and probably will continue leading the living dead towards the capital. What if the capital falls? Will that be considered our failure?"

Everyone’s expression turned grave.

After a few days of experiencing the Divine Prohibition game, they’d come to realize that the gods from Busan Divine Ruins had indeed entered the fray.

This was divine rule pollution, so unlike the pollution caused by certain Taboo things in the past, this time, it seemed that failing to achieve a specific goal would mean death.

It’s like playing an RPG game!

"So we split up—our group will head north, and you go kill the King!"

Lin Baici suggested earnestly: "If we fail the game, we all die, so team leader Quan Sangin, you must give it your all."

Not only Kim Jinsoo and the other team members, even Quan Sangin, the team leader, turned pale upon hearing Lin Baici’s words.

Have us kill the King?

Do you think we’re not dying fast enough?

"While we are all God Hunters, storming into the royal palace and killing a King under the heavy guard of his protectors is a bit too difficult, isn’t it?"

Kim Jinsoo complained.

"Yeah, it’s too hard!"

Pei Douwen thought Lin Baici was joking.

Of course, he didn’t doubt that Lin Baici was deliberately harming them since, based on the performance of this person from the Nine States so far, he was clever but not vicious enough.

"What?"

Lin Baici raised his eyebrows: "I overestimated you guys!"

"..."

Everyone felt even more embarrassed, including Kim Myungjin, who was too ashamed to say anything—after all, these were her compatriots.

Ah!

Looks like Oppa is going to think even less of Goryeo!

How can we even face asking him to migrate now?

"God Lin, then how about we go north, and you go kill the King?"

Pei Douwen offered with a forced smile.

He had barely finished speaking when, before Gu Qingqiu and Xia Hongyao could object, Quan Sangin kicked him hard in the thigh.

"What’s wrong?"

Pei Douwen looked at the team leader with a mix of grievance and confusion.

Why kick me?

"Idiot! What will you do in the north? Sightseeing?"

Quan Sangin was close to losing it. Lin Baici had a purpose for going north, surely a way to find Li God Doctor. What did he have?

Xiba!

Why are my teammates so stupid?

Muttering to himself, Quan Sangin glanced at Gu Qingqiu. Before, he thought this girl was too weak to be a God Hunter, but now, he wished he had such a smart teammate.

"Li God Doctor might be the final big boss. We’ll go north with you," Quan Sangin decided on the spot. Following Lin Baici was the way to stay alive!

"But the capital..."

Choi Sunsil was worried but got cut off mid-sentence with a glare from Quan Sangin.

"What’s there to fear? With God Lin here, even if the capital falls and the living dead become kings, God Lin will find a way to kill them!"

Quan Sangin flattered.

I’ve decided that in this rule-corrupted world, I’ll be God Lin’s little brother.

Kim Myungjin covered his face, feeling so embarrassed he didn’t want to look.

"Besides that, our priority right now is to find the hidden danger on the boat!"

Gu Qingqiu interjected.

"Hidden danger?"

Kim Jinsoo blinked his eyes, warily staring at Zhao Decheng: "This guy’s a problem? That shouldn’t be the case. After seeing our fighting strength, he’d have to be incredibly stupid to even think about taking us down."

"It’s not him. It’s the puppet master behind the scenes. If that guy wants to break Shangqing Mansion, he must have a meticulous plan. Now tell me, with such a large official ship docked at the pier, would he not take notice of it?"

Lin Baici explained.

"What?"

Everyone was alarmed, their foreheads beaded with sweat, their skin tensing as they immediately looked around, feeling like all the ship workers in their shoddy, sickly-looking clothes were suspicious.

"Zhao Decheng, dispatch men to search all the cabins. The moment you find someone or something suspicious, like a dubious box, report it immediately!"

Lin Baici shouted orders.

Zhao Decheng was startled, then quickly understood Lin Baici’s intentions and promptly sent people to carry out the task.

Kim Jinsoo hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

"Speak if you have something to say!"

Lin Baici glanced at the woman.

"God Lin, by shouting out like that, won’t you alarm the enemy?"

Kim Jinsoo’s attitude softened considerably.

"That’s exactly my intention. An official ship is an enclosed space with nowhere to run. Instead of being on guard at all times, exhausting our energy, it’s better to detonate the situation early!"

Lin Baici would prefer the enemy to make a move soon so that he could nip the chaos in the bud right as it started.

"Those who are sick stay behind, the rest pair up and head down below deck!"

Lin Baici instructed.

After Quan Sangin entered the cabin, he felt someone tug at his clothes. Turning around, he saw that it was Kim Jinsoo.

"Team leader, aren’t we being too submissive?"

Kim Jinsoo didn’t like this at all; she wanted to let loose and show Lin Baici who’s boss!

"There’s an old saying in the Nine States: ’A wise man submits to circumstances.’ So, I’m serving as a team member under Lin Baici to give him a taste of his own medicine, and there’s nothing wrong with that."

Quan Sangin patted Kim Jinsoo’s shoulder, trying to console himself with these words. After repeating them in his mind a few times, his sense of shame immediately lessened a great deal.

"..."

Kim Jinsoo wanted to say, ’who are you kidding?’ This was the first time she realized that Quan Sangin could be quite shameless.

"Be honest and put away those improper thoughts. Lin Baici is a God Hunter on the same level as Jin Xian. We’re not qualified to be his opponent."

Quan Sangin sighed. Before entering the Divine Ruins, he had asked Jin Xian whether he could kill and rob someone who obtained Top-tier Divine Prohibitions. Jin Xian had just laughed.

Quan Sangin had thought that laugh meant ’you know what I mean’—a knowing one. Now, it seemed it was a laugh at his ignorance, folly, and presumption.

"For this rule corruption, let’s not act rashly. We’ll talk about it later," Quan Sangin consoled.

Even though they said this, both knew that there probably wouldn’t be any chance for a counterattack from now on.

There was no way around it; the gap was too vast.

Just as they felt despondent, suddenly from the bottom deck, there came shrieks of terror and roars!

"Xiba! God Lin guessed right again!"

Quan Sangin didn’t even realize that he had started to refer to Lin Baici as God Lin from the bottom of his heart.

The two rushed to the lower deck only to see a frantic ship worker bursting out of a cabin. But after running just a few steps, a hand quickly stretched out, grabbed the clothing on his back, and dragged him back.

"Save... save me!"

The bloodied ship worker cried for help.

Someone had given him ten taels of silver and told him that after setting sail, he should open a black coffin in the supply storage and steal an item inside. Once accomplished, he’d be given another fifty taels.

But to the ship worker’s horror, when he opened the coffin, what he saw was a corpse covered in eerie totems. Even more terrifying, the corpse suddenly opened its eyes and lunged to bite him.

"Living dead!"

Quan Sangin didn’t rashly enter the cabin; instead, he waited outside.

Soon, the ship worker stopped screaming, replaced by the sound of munching from within.
