You dare to cultivate without money?!
Chapter 209 - 209 176 Ten Million Temptations

209: Chapter 176: Ten Million Temptations 209: Chapter 176: Ten Million Temptations In Huo Shan’s view, Song Xu is a believer who seems…

too diligent for him.

Studying hard, practicing hard, making money—these are all good.

But working hard to develop believers, diligently managing believers, and striving to enhance Huo Shan’s power…

that’s where Huo Shan starts feeling uneasy.

Song Xu’s constant murmuring resurfaced in his mind again.

It was an afternoon not long after he had converted Song Xu into an Evil God believer.

The other party earnestly said to him, “Master, we can’t keep going on like this!

The times are changing, the True God is making progress, and Kunxu’s regulation and competition will only get more intense.”

“To avoid being eliminated by this world, internal reform is imperative!”

“The first thing we need to do is accelerate talent recruitment.

We can no longer rely on chance as before; we should proactively gather talent information, step into campuses, actively poach talents, conduct face-to-face evaluations, and improve the efficiency of the entire recruitment process.”

“I also suggest you participate as an observer in every phase of believer recruitment, including attending the preliminary trials for key believers…”

Desiring to develop more believers requires spending more time searching for suitable candidates, from gathering information to covert investigation and finally to recruiting.

This process consumes time and mental energy…

far more troublesome compared to those sitting in offices, sifting through resumes and summoning interviewees with just a phone call.

After all, Evil God believers have exceptionally high demands for secrecy and can’t recruit lightly.

For instance, the current eight believers under Huo Shan’s command—each one has taken him hundreds of hours of work to investigate and recruit.

From this point alone, Huo Shan feels being a company boss is much better than being an Evil God.

Offering a position casually can bring in hundreds or thousands of resumes, and once hired, they work diligently without worrying about leaks.

And expanding believer recruitment is already troublesome; managing believers diligently feels even worse for Huo Shan.

At this moment, Song Xu’s murmuring popped up again in Huo Shan’s mind.

Song Xu: “This is an analysis of our current team after my observation over the past three months.”

“The main issue with reduced efficiency is information disconnection.”

“For example, believer couriers don’t submit work lists or bank transactions, the wear level of their running shoes doesn’t match their mileage on the delivery platform, and there’s no financial audit, so they’re free to report their earnings.”

“Construction site believers lack supervision; we have no knowledge of their daily work hours, earnings, or expenses.”

“I suggest starting next week, every believer must submit a 300-word structured daily report focusing on today’s achievements, tomorrow’s plans, and bank transactions by 9 PM.”

“Additionally, hold a half-hour meeting every Monday morning at one o’clock, disallowing PPT usage, focusing only on bottlenecks and resource allocation.”

“We also need to establish an issue escalation channel, where all unresolved issues for 12 hours will be forwarded to me…”

Although just listening to the other party makes Huo Shan’s head spin.

Song Xu’s actions have indeed made Huo Shan more money, allowing him to move from the basement to his current shabby apartment, enabling him to shop online, and even have more money to recharge and draw cards in games.

Thus, under Song Xu’s push and Huo Shan’s movement, they have step by step reached this point…

But as for hunting Evil Gods, Huo Shan is still reluctant.

“Why must there be killing and fighting?

Isn’t it better to eat, drink, and play games every day?”

At this moment, Huo Shan is not inclined to continue in the hunt for Evil Gods but rather wants to return to play the games he hasn’t finished.

But on the other side, believer Li Quan exclaimed, “Master, there’s ten million!”

Upon hearing the words ten million, Huo Shan immediately perked up and rushed to the screen to look at the intelligence passed on by the Shadow Gu.

He scanned quickly, instantly grasping the general situation from the intelligence sent by the Shadow Gu.

“So it’s an Evil God who escaped from Tiantai City.”

“Tomorrow, the believer left behind on that side in Tiantai City…

will bring over the tens of millions of cash that he’s hidden outside Tiantai City?”

“Let me see the transaction location…”

Seeing the news of tens of millions of cash, Huo Shan’s eyes lit up.

Although he doesn’t want to get caught up, as an Evil God of Kunxu, claiming not to love money is impossible.

He just doesn’t want to earn money through his own efforts.

If there’s a chance to grab tens of millions at once, not only will he be interested, but he’ll also vigorously push his believers to it.

“Pass the intelligence to Song Xu.”

“Let him take the people to the transaction location tomorrow, and if possible…

snatch the ten million.”

…

Inside the apartment.

Zhang Yu returned to reality after practicing in the Spirit Realm for two hours.

However, after removing the spiritual interface mask, his expression seemed a bit strange.

He recalled today’s practice in the Spirit Realm.

In the illusion, he became a security guard at a high-end club, fighting back at the boss’s oppression, while constantly battling the thugs, tirelessly seeking the club’s criminal evidence, battling battling battling in desperation!

And the boss of that high-end club was Yu Xinghan, who exploited Zhang Yu the security guard while also oppressing the comely employees in the club, battling battling battling!

After coming out of the illusion, Zhang Yu couldn’t help asking in the Asking Hall, “Does this have cultivation effects?”

Yu Xinghan smiled and shook his head, “Zhang Yu, you who are castrated cannot understand my realm at the moment.”

Evidently, although Zhang Yu introduced Yu Xinghan to Xiong Haohan’s side, he did not disclose his physical condition to Yu Xinghan.

And after these two days of growth, Yu Xinghan feels that his spirit and will have greatly improved.

In his current perspective, although Zhang Yu’s strength is formidable, his spiritual state is nothing more than a castrated child.

Unlike him, who has already endured through puppets and environment, he can be said to have weathered trials and tests.

“As the saying goes, passing through a field of flowers, without a leaf sticking to oneself.”

“Only when passions and hobbies become work can desires be extinguished, and one return to their true self.”

“This is what I have comprehended…

the true meaning of overcoming desires.”

“Hehe, remember my words, they will definitely benefit you greatly in the future.”

At this moment, inside the apartment.

Bai Zhenzhen stopped her exercise, looked at the awakened Zhang Yu and asked, “How about it Yu Zi?

Success?”

Zhang Yu nodded: “Let’s go out and discuss.”

Then Zhang Yu took Bai Zhenzhen to the familiar bridge hole next to the river.

Bai Zhenzhen, unable to restrain herself, asked eagerly: “What’s the situation now?”

Fu Ji said: “The intelligence has been sent over, jumped through three puppet machines, and traced my colleague’s location.”

Bai Zhenzhen said: “Shouldn’t we just go over now and catch them off guard and kill them?”

Fu Ji said: “Although the location has been tracked, to avoid alerting the enemy, I have not taken this opportunity to investigate them.”

“So my colleague’s subordinates, the number of believers, and their strength are still unknown.”

“But there is no need to hurry, I have already sent false intelligence over, tomorrow we should be able to lure them away.”

“Then we can follow the plan to gather intelligence…”

Zhang Yu asked nervously: “Won’t they discover it?”

Fu Ji chuckled and said: “Your elder sister said it well, in this world, information is very important.”

“Sometimes the gap in information is even more critical than the gap in strength.”

“Just like this time, using shadow manipulation to track them back, being in the dark while they are in the open, we use this information gap to stay undefeated.”

…

The next night.

A container truck was heading towards the suburbs.

Inside the truck, besides Song Xu, there were five peak Qi Refinement Evil God believers, each exuding a robust aura from the realm of delivery, construction, and logistics.

A slim, tall believer with an elusive figure said: “When we meet the target, let’s hit them with the truck first, see if we can kill one.”

Another dark-skinned, burly man said: “Although the location is in the suburbs, lacking surveillance, don’t forget to perform the shielding ritual first, to avoid being spotted by True God’s dogs.”

Another person said: “Although the other party is also an Evil God believer, they shouldn’t dare to report to the police, but we must act quickly to prevent them from acting desperately.”

Meanwhile, Song Xu sat in the passenger seat of the truck, resting his eyes, listening to the chatter of other believers, without saying a word.

His mind was still recalling the Evil God intelligence received yesterday.

“A million?”

Upon knowing this amount, Song Xu’s heart also leapt fiercely, a strong greed rising within.

After all, in Kunxu World, money is potential, future, and wings on the path of Immortal Path, aiding one in making progress and breaking through social classes.

For this million, Song Xu even thought: “Should I call Mo Tianyi to help?”

But eventually, he restrained this impulse.

After all, the Poor People Alliance is not Evil God believers, it’s a force he built himself, genuinely belonging to him, and the money earned is his personal stash.

He doesn’t want to be easily exposed to the Evil God.

Moreover, that million…

“Even if we snatch this million, Huo Shan will surely take the lion’s share.”

“With such money, this lazybones would definitely feel even less inclined to work hard.”

Song Xu seems to have seen the other party storing money, to earn interest, then lying flat indulging in enjoyment.

Knowing Huo Shan, the other party would definitely do such a thing.

“At that time, this guy certainly wouldn’t want to assist me in hunting Evil Gods anymore.”

“Besides, we still don’t know the location of the Evil God.”

“Once that million is moved, it will surely alert the opponent, making the hunt for Evil Gods difficult.”

Although Song Xu initially felt greed when he heard about the million, after careful consideration, he quickly restrained himself.

After all, even if that million is snatched, it wouldn’t be his, and it might disrupt his plan to hunt Evil Gods and enhance his potential.

Just like he endured pain, waited for the opportunity, and eventually sold his grandfather’s grave.

Song Xu feels that this moment is not a good opportunity to snatch this million, especially compared to the million, he wants to hunt Evil Gods more to stimulate potential.

He lightly flicked his fingertips, stroked the palm-sized civilian-grade Flying Sword in his hand, thinking: “Later, I’ll use the Flying Sword to probe the situation first.

If there’s no opportunity, then so be it.”
