Chapter 573: Chapter 312: This letter is very characteristic; stir-frying it brings out an exceptional flavor! _2

"They collect this stuff for what?" Gu Shanhai was somewhat puzzled.

In the Adventure King World, there were professions like the Undead Mage and Death Mage, but due to rules, their skeletal soldiers, zombies, and such were not actually real. They were summoning creatures conjured by Divine Power, similar in nature to those summoned by Summoners and Beast Tamers, only uglier.

Thus, bones were not necessary and were not any special materials.

Adventurers’ foundation lay in Divine Power; these ordinary people, even the adventurers’ bones themselves, did not belong in the realm of Divine Power and were of no use.

"Not very sure, it might just be a coincidence," Rein replied when he heard this; he had noticed the same issue when sorting earlier but had not taken it to heart.

"It’s definitely not a coincidence." Gu Shanhai narrowed his eyes, seemingly onto something.

"Not a coincidence?!" Rein was a bit confused as to why.

"You don’t need to worry about this, I’ll handle it," Gu Shanhai said calmly.

Unable to use Prophetic Divination and yet needing bones.

This reminded Gu Shanhai of a particular Plane Merchant from Protective Umbrella Responsibility Limited Company who mostly only took skeletal soldiers.

Although these bones were not skeletal soldiers, Protective Umbrella Responsibility Limited Company still accepted them at a discounted rate—approximately ten complete skeletons could be exchanged for one skeletal soldier.

’Come to think of it, the skeletal soldiers summoned by the Undead Mages in this world, they shouldn’t accept them, right?’ Gu Shanhai thought to himself.

Primarily, these skeletal soldiers were composed of Divine Power, not actual skeletal soldiers.

’I need to find a way to prevent the other party from successfully exchanging; otherwise, if they really obtain some terrifying weapon, that would be troublesome.’

Gu Shanhai had no intention of seeking out this Plane Merchant mainly because he did not possess skeletal soldiers; collecting these was a troublesome task on its own.

Really wanting to swap for something valuable would land one in the same situation as the Holy God Sect—becoming despised like rats crossing the street.

He wasn’t afraid, but there was no necessity.

Items from Protective Umbrella Responsibility Limited Company were genuinely expensive; he estimated that slaughtering worlds on the scale of the Adventure King World about ten times might yield a weapon of around level 1000.

"Is it really not a big deal?" Seeing Gu Shanhai deep in thought, Rein couldn’t help but ask.

"It’s not a big issue, I might not even need to lift a finger," Gu Shanhai’s plan was simple: just to throw the blame onto someone else.

Simply alerting the group of Saints that the Holy God Sect was collecting bones for some mischief, and not just small mischief at that, essentially tattling.

Otherwise, would Gu Shanhai personally take action?

He didn’t have that kind of idle heart, even if the Holy God Sect killed everyone in the Adventure King World and went to Protective Umbrella Responsibility Limited Company to exchange for a weapon, it wouldn’t pose much of a threat to him, at most a minor annoyance.

Did they think Protective Umbrella Responsibility Limited Company didn’t assess risks?

In the Daoist Soldier World, credit might be extended because the power scale in Daoist Soldier World was vast.

The people from Adventure King World didn’t have enough capital to warrant credit from Protective Umbrella Company; credit was based on clearing debts that not only recouped costs but also presented a profit, not just any individual passing by could gain credit.

However, if a problem could be resolved before it escalated, wouldn’t that be better?

"It’s that simple?" Rein looked puzzled, as it seemed a bit off. If it were that simple, how could it cause such a big reaction?

"Very simple, eradicate the people from the Holy God Sect, where do you think the trouble would be?" Gu Shanhai smiled; Rein was clever, but due to his own power limitations, his approach often differed from Gu Shanhai’s.

In his eyes, this matter might have required experiencing various plots and entanglements of interests, but he had never actually considered the scenario where the Holy God Sect was casually crushed.

By the time his strength had improved, he would understand this kind of solution.

"That makes sense," Rein realized, acknowledging that he had always been cautious on a daily basis, and with a focus on tactics, he hadn’t thought it through immediately.

"Why don’t you go then?" Gu Shanhai contemplated that when the master had tasks, the disciple should undertake the labor.

Rein didn’t refuse, "No problem, but what should I say?"

"Don’t say anything, just run the errand and deliver the letter for me," Gu Shanhai knew, the stature of Rein was too minor; even the Holy Saint might not necessarily grant him an audience.

The best course of action, of course, was for Gu Shanhai to write a letter over.

Although Gu Shanhai could have reached there in an instant, that was too much hassle, he truly was too lazy to move, and it was a good chance for Rein to experience more of the world.

There was no need to worry about any danger; this time he was going alone, if there was danger he could use the automatic return ability to come back, Gu Shanhai estimated that the Saint might not even be able to break the automatic mechanism on Rein.

Even Gu Shanhai hadn’t thoroughly researched it yet, let alone those Saints who spent all day hiding in the city without knowing what they were doing.

"That simplifies things a lot," Rein smiled as well.

Subsequently, Gu Shanhai plucked a Spirit Plant Leaf from his body, wrote on it about the causes and consequences, effectively indicating his discovery of the Holy God Sect’s intent of collecting bones to annihilate all the Saints and adventurers, and even exaggerated by adding fuel to the fire about their covetousness for Divine Relics.

Whether it was true or not wasn’t important, what mattered was to get them to take it seriously. A little embellishment was no big deal.

"Teacher, hold on a second, if you keep fabricating like this, the Holy God Sect will soon be unable to carry such a big black pot," Rein looked at the content that Gu Shanhai was writing which grew more and more exaggerated, feeling numb, thinking that they should still measure it well; recklessly writing might backfire.

"Too exaggerated? Why don’t you write?" Gu Shanhai casually stuffed the Spirit Plant Leaf in his mouth and chewed, then plucked another and handed it to Rein.

Seeing this behavior, Rein didn’t even know what to say.

Eating the plant that grew on oneself seemed somewhat freakish, though they had eaten it before, it had been cooked; the scene of eating it raw gave Rein an illusion of Gu Shanhai eating himself.

"I’ll write then," Rein sighed. His writing could at least be more formal; seeing Gu Shanhai’s method was enough to send anyone’s blood pressure rising, only someone as powerful as Gu Shanhai could afford such whims.

Rein finished writing in no time; Gu Shanhai glanced over it and figured this guy must have been some kind of top-notch clerk before crossing over. Not only was it written well but sounded pleasing, it even listed various dangers posed by the Holy God Sect.

"Teacher, take a look if this is okay?" After writing, Rein handed it over to Gu Shanhai.

Gu Shanhai waved his hand, "I’ve seen it, send the letter to Holy White City, just go straight to the Holy Saint."

"Yes!" After securing the letter, Rein turned and left.

He didn’t need to prepare anything else, he could just teleport directly to Holy White City through the Teleportation Array, and then use Gu Shanhai’s page of Spirit Plant Leaf as a pass to directly meet the Holy Saint.

This Spirit Plant Leaf bore Gu Shanhai’s scent, held some unique power; as soon as he entered Holy White City, the Holy Saint could detect it immediately.

As for what the unique power was... Rein really knew; stir-fried it tasted particularly good!

He had flaunted a dish last night; other functions weren’t very clear, anyway Gu Shanhai hadn’t mentioned it, these Spirit Plants were generally used for cooking.

However, it probably didn’t have too significant a use, otherwise it wouldn’t be used so casually.

"Jeez, going back and forth like this, I feel a bit shortchanged." Gu Shanhai did some calculations in his head, although he could extort some items from the Holy God Sect, Five Elements Sect City was seeing a reduction in its original revenue due to the loss of players and adventurers.

Regarding this, he could only quickly seize all the resources from the Holy God Sect and then quickly restore the economy of Five Elements Sect City.
