Chapter 613: Chapter 305: National Teacher Lin Baici, Salary of Two Thousand Shi_2

It’s easy for the well-fed to not understand the hunger of the starving.

Zheng Zhonggen sized up Lin Baici, pondering another question: how did Lin Baici come to know the specific information about this knife?

After all, he had just obtained this Taboo thing!

Then Zheng Zhonggen’s face turned green.

"What’s wrong?"

Kim Jinsoo elbowed Zheng Zhonggen lightly, "You’re not afraid of corpses, are you?"

"Yeah!"

Zheng Zhonggen forced a smile, thinking to himself that while he wasn’t afraid of corpses, he was afraid of Lin Baici.

Considering their interactions up to now, Lin Baici was a very cautious person. Why then would he leak such information?

There was only one possibility: he believed their side was doomed, so there was no need to worry about leaks from their own camp!

This "doom" might be at Lin Baici’s own hands, or perhaps the enemy thought they were so weak that they’d die within the Divine Ruins.

No matter the case, the subtext was clear: in their group, everyone was seen as too weak.

Zheng Zhonggen thought about possible solutions, and then he despaired.

Without Lin Baici, venturing into the Busan Divine Ruins alone, they would die!

Realizing this, Zheng Zhonggen looked at Quan Sangin with a gaze full of resentment.

Why couldn’t my team leader be a master like Lin Baici?

Lin Baici indeed thought so, casually handing the Red Demon to Gu Qingqiu.

The knife was excellent, but the negative effects were too terrifying.

Just the thought of sleeping next to a corpse as his other half in the future was enough for Lin Baici to feel like his manhood might never work again.

"Yi Jisheng, do you want this knife?"

Lin Baici shouted.

Yi Jisheng’s performance had been hard-working and uncomplaining, plus he was a main force in killing Heimu Xun. He deserved a reward, even though he liked innards, which weren’t exactly a reward.

Kim Jinsoo and the others immediately felt envious.

Lin Baici was too generous, weren’t he? Such a premium Taboo thing, and he was just giving it to a teammate? If it were them, they would definitely keep it for themselves.

"No need!"

Yi Jisheng, already dissecting Heimu Xun’s chest, said, "It’s too long, inconvenient for dissecting corpses!"

"How about giving it to me then?"

Gu Qingqiu suggested, "Yi Jisheng, when I get my share of the spoils, I’ll compensate you."

"Whatever, I’ll listen to our team leader!"

Yi Jisheng was indifferent.

Gu Qingqiu looked toward Lin Baici.

"If you’re not afraid of becoming a pervert, you can take it!"

Lin Baici shrugged his shoulders, affirming Gu Qingqiu really was a lunatic.

"Hehe, I actually want to experience the mind of a pervert!"

Gu Qingqiu, waving the knife around, said, "Say, if I fall in love with someone, under the influence of this knife, would I end up killing them and then keeping their corpse?"

Hua Yue Yu and Kim Myungjin panicked, hastily praying Gu Qingqiu would not fall for Lin Baici.

"Gentlemen, who are you?"

Zhao Guozhang had arrived long ago, but he did not rashly reveal himself, instead observing from the shadows before speaking up.

There was no choice; these people had even killed that great Onmyoji, surely they were more formidable.

And compared to the Dongying people, Zhao Guozhang felt a greater fondness for the people from the Nine States, as they were from the sovereign country.

Everyone looked toward Lin Baici, Quan Sangin included.

Because under these circumstances, there was an unwritten rule: the boss speaks.

"Your friend!"

Lin Baici replied with a slight smile, "We can help you ascend to the throne!"

"What do you take me, Zhao, for?"

Zhao Guozhang was visibly furious.

"Xiba, who are you kidding? The king himself has been turned into a zombie by you!"

Kim Jinsoo scoffed.

[It’s not lying. It is loyal to the king and the country, yearning to become one of the three dukes, unmatched in patriotism, leading the rise of Goryeo and securing a place in history. It seeks an emperor who will heed its words, allowing it to display its talents and ambitions!]

The Eater God commented.

"Isn’t this just the Goryeo version of Cao Cao?"

Lin Baici couldn’t understand the reasoning of Zhao Guozhang; he was now so powerful, that if he attempted to usurp the throne, he might succeed. Of course, his daughter was the Queen Consort, and as long as she gave birth to a son, he would be the next king of Goryeo.

"You killed people in the royal palace, my guests at that, and you do not intend to give me an explanation?"

Zhao Guozhang sneered.

"If we were able to kill them, this proves we are more formidable than him. Don’t you want a national advisor?"

Lin Baici countered, "You must know the current situation within the kingdom by now. The zombie horde has taken Shangqing Mansion and Quanzhou City, and now they’re heading for Hancheng. There’s also the rebel prince, Li Mingzhe, and his faction. I can help you sort them out!"

"What do you want?"

Zhao Guozhang was not naive; he knew there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

"There are a group of Europa people in Goryeo right now, and I want them dead!"

Lin Baici displayed a sinister expression.

Zhao Guozhang pondered, glanced at the corpse of Heimu Xun, and nodded, "From now on, you are the national advisor of Goryeo, with a salary of two thousand stones."

Zhao Guozhang had a bold presence; after dismissing the soldiers, he negotiated the details with Lin Baici.

"I want to see the King first!"

Lin Baici demanded.

"No way!"

Zhao Guozhang refused.

"Li God Doctor is dead, and this person is his beloved disciple."

Lin Baici pointed to Dae Jang Geum, "The secret to stopping the corpse tide might very well be with the King!"

Zhao Guozhang looked at Dae Jang Geum.

This timid medical girl immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Only you and she may go!"

Zhao Guozhang conceded a step.

"Hmm!"

Lin Baici nodded.

By dawn, the snowstorm had not ceased, and Lin Baici, as the newly promoted national advisor of Goryeo, was escorted by a troop of imperial guards to meet the King.

...

In Kyoto, within a temple in Dongying,

a middle-aged monk clad in black robes was sipping tea while several juniors knelt beside him, listening attentively.

"The opening of the Qin Palace Divine Ruins is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for our Dayao, no, for the whole of Dongying. No matter the cost, we must bring that ’Deity’ back."

The monk instructed.

"Yes!"

The crowd lowered their heads.

"The competition for this Pusan Trip will be fierce. All those renowned Deity Hunter Groups from various nations will attend; you must be careful!"

The monk worriedly expressed his concern, as the team he had dispatched was composed of Dayao’s elite. A loss would be devastating for Dayao.

For the sake of the Deity within the Qin Palace Divine Ruins, he had given up this Pusan Trip, only sending three second-rate teams with a strategy of winning by numbers.

He wondered how they were faring now?

The monk hoped for a miracle. He picked up his teacup, just about to take a sip, when crack, the cup developed cracks and the tea splashed out, forming a fox’s head, which let out a mournful cry before bursting.

Although this process lasted only two to three seconds, the monk had seen the death of Heimu Xun through the puddle of water.

The face of Yi Jisheng was clear, but the monk glanced just once before turning his attention to Lin Baici at the edge of the puddle.

With his rich experience, he could tell that this person was the one in charge, the soul of the team!

"Monk master, it’s a person from Jiuzhou."

Those who had the privilege of kneeling in the Buddha hall and listening to the monk’s teachings were all geniuses of Dayao; they too had seen everything happening on the puddle.

"As long as you take down the Qin Palace Divine Ruins, that will be the most beautiful counterattack against the people from Jiuzhou!"

The monk didn’t order someone to investigate that Jiuzhou person’s identity because this was within the Divine Ruins, where only those who could walk out in the end were the winners.

According to the monk, strong groups like Yellow Stone, Thousand Snows, Statue of Liberty, amongst others, had dispatched their main forces, and with Sejong himself, those Jiuzhou people had no chance of winning in the end.

"Go, prepare thoroughly for battle. I want that after the Qin Palace Trip, the whole world knows that our Dongying Dayao dominates under the heavens!"

"Yes!"

The crowd acknowledged the command.

...

In Hancheng, a troop hurried toward the royal palace on the snowy streets, for the snow made it difficult for horses, and they had to proceed on foot.

"We’re close! We’re close!"

Li Mingzhe’s heart was aflame; in a few hours, he would become the King of Goryeo.

"Captain, aren’t we being too reckless, charging over like this?"

Johnny was concerned.

"It’s not recklessness; it’s overwhelming them!"

The muscular Hank flexed his chest, "Who can withstand our edge?"

"That’s right. Those who played the Taboo game with us are so unlucky!"

"Let’s mourn for them!"

"Send them to meet God!"

The teammates laughed, full of fighting spirit.

...

Lin Baici was stopped in front of the palace where the King resided by a lavishly dressed woman.
