Chapter 293: Chapter 292 Main and Auxiliary Tombs: The Game Begins

"Will you help me?"

Seeing Lu Zixun in front of her, Si Keke spoke sternly.

Lu Zixun, facing Si Keke’s threat, completely disregarded it.

Rolling on the sofa, he licked his front paw and said, "Sis, I am just a little kitty, even if I cleaned myself up, Si Yin wouldn’t misunderstand anything."

Hearing this, Si Keke froze on the spot.

Her fingers slipped from the shoulder strap, and she felt somewhat disheartened.

Lu Zixun’s overly mature demeanor made her forget that he was just a cat.

Lying on the sofa, Lu Zixun squinted his eyes, looking at Si Keke annoyingly, "Speak up if you have more to say, and then leave quickly so I can sleep."

After a fleeting moment of hesitation, Si Keke pursed her lips, "If you help me obtain the Compass, I’ll calculate for you the tomb that the Jade Kingdom is building for Spett."

Suddenly standing up from the sofa, Lu Zixun’s expression fluctuated, "Are you saying that the tomb discovered in the Crimson Land is fake?"

"Not exactly."

Shaking her head, Si Keke said, "The Jade Kingdom built a main tomb and a secondary tomb. The one found in the Crimson Land is just the secondary one."

The fact that there was a main and secondary tomb was quite significant information, but...

Lu Zixun gave Si Keke a meaningful look. Si Keke, capable of calculating the location of the main tomb, was certainly no easy person.

However, Lu Zixun tilted his head and pondered for a moment.

Even if he found the location of the main tomb of the Jade Kingdom, with his current power, it would be a wasted trip, and he might even lose his life.

It should be noted that the tomb found in the Crimson Land hadn’t been entered yet after two to three years, let alone the main tomb.

The difficult choice now for Lu Zixun was about the conditions for opening the secondary tomb.

To enter the gate of the secondary tomb, the heart’s blood of the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon was needed.

If the conditions to open the main tomb were the same, could it mean that his big break had come?

"I’ll take the risk."

After pondering for a moment, Lu Zixun looked at Si Keke and spoke, "It’s agreed, after taking care of the Zhenfei personnel, I’ll bring back the Compass for you."

"Alright, it’s a deal."

...

Unbeknownst to Lin Siyin, who had just woken up, about the visit of Xiong Kang and Si Keke,

she felt somewhat saddened upon hearing of Uncle Li’s death.

"Siyin..."

Before Lu Zixun could finish his comforting words, he saw Lin Siyin gazing at him resolutely, "Da Ju, from now on, you have to supervise my cultivation. I want to become stronger."

Lu Zixun looked at Lin Siyin somewhat astonished.

At this moment, Lin Siyin’s eyes sparkled like radiant stars, confident and strong, beautiful and brave.

Such a posture rendered Lin Siyin breathtakingly beautiful, captivating one’s gaze.

Lu Zixun merely nodded and uttered softly, "Okay."

...

The scheduled game never started.

Lu Zixun arrived at Central Square in the middle of the day with Xiong Kang, lounging in the car, enjoying the air conditioning with a relaxed demeanor.

It made Xiong Kang almost unable to resist the urge to punch him.

"We are here to exterminate bugs, not to play games! Straighten up your attitude."

Xiong Kang knocked Lu Zixun’s leg off the car window.

Xiong Kang spoke irritably, "Look at your actions just now, like the second-rate scoundrel among cats, not at all serious."

"Just relax, there’s nothing odd going on."

Standing up and shaking his fur, Lu Zixun suddenly remembered something and looked at Xiong Kang, "Hey? Kang Ning, the thing I mentioned to you yesterday, did you get a chance to check it out?"

"Mm, I already had the elite squad start checking the identities of people around Central Square, but this won’t solve the problem you mentioned."

Xiong Kang paused and explained to Lu Zixun, who looked puzzled, "Central Square has a high volume of people. We could place Insect Clan detection equipment at each entrance, but STO is short-staffed."

STO often faced staffing shortages, a situation that was getting worse.

Understanding this, Lu Zixun nodded slightly to show he understood.

"Lacking manpower means we can’t check identities using that method. We can only broadly screen for ’people’ exhibiting strange behaviors, meaning some will slip through the cracks."

Xiong Kang sighed helplessly, resting his hands behind his head and looking out at Central Square from the car window, "There’s nothing we can do about it, but sometimes reducing the numbers is the best we can manage."

"After so long, why does STO still have this staffing issue? Can’t they just recruit more people?"

As there was nothing else to do, Lu Zixun casually discussed the development issues of STO with Xiong Kang.

"Hey."

Xiong Kang smiled, a look of you-don’t-understand on his face, "The minimum requirement to join STO is to become a Genetic Optimization Soldier. After all, the branch offices in the STO office area are occasionally attacked by the Insect Clan; it would be suicidal for ordinary humans to join STO."

"So, the biggest issue facing STO right now is how to unearth more Genetic Optimization Soldiers, preferably discovering the existence of Spiritual Ability Users, but even that is difficult to achieve."

Shaking his head, Xiong Kang silently sighed, his eyes revealing his pain, "Even if this problem is solved, the rate at which STO members are increasing can’t keep up with the rate at which they’re being killed off by the Insect Clan. It’s looking bleak."

After quietly listening to Xiong Kang’s explanation, Lu Zixun asked, "Why are there so few Genetic Optimization Soldiers? Is there a problem with the potions?"

"As for the potions, the problem isn’t too significant. The issue lies with humans themselves."

Xiong Kang organized his words, "As the name suggests, genetic optimization is meant to make human genes stronger, thereby affecting humans themselves."

"But the problem is, many humans cannot undergo genetic optimization."

Spreading his hands in resignation, Xiong Kang, now accustomed to the headache, said, "Poor physical condition, insufficient spiritual power, and most importantly, an inability to endure hardship—when these factors come together, only a handful can become Genetic Optimization Soldiers."

...

Hearing what Xiong Kang had said, Lu Zixun, also feeling the headache, yawned and turned around.

Presenting his backside to Xiong Kang, he indicated that he didn’t want to hear more about this issue.

The staffing problem at STO wasn’t without reason, nor was it something that could be resolved overnight. Lu Zixun had no desire to fret over it.

"Little brat."

Raising his hand, Xiong Kang swatted Lu Zixun’s backside, then took out his phone to look at the situation reported by the elite squad.

On Central Square, the advertisement screen hanging in the middle of the main building suddenly went dark,

After a while, a man wearing a black wolf mask appeared on it, seemingly adjusting something.

The black wolf suddenly leaned into the camera, revealing a fierce grin under his mask, "Good afternoon, friends of Lingchuan City."
