My Online Girlfriend Is The Nine Heaven Divine Phoenix Novel - Chapter 50
Chapter 50 Protecting Shield Ghost
After Lin Xuan returned to his single room, exciting news swept through the entire Germinal base like a hurricane.
Not only had Shield Ghost defeated the three experienced mystic realm kings of the inferior Demon Mountain alone, but he had also soloed four people from the Demon King Team and severely injured each of them with just one hit!
As soon as the news was out, all the martial artists were collectively in an uproar.
Everyone knew that the Demon King Team was the trump card under Manager Number Three. They were elites that he had nurtured with all his might!
It was one thing for Shield Ghost to solo one of them, but he actually defeated four of them alone!
Moreover, after Shield Ghost killed three experienced mystic realm kings, he probably also obtained five experienced advancement materials and could advance to the Sixth Realm!
In this world, a Sixth Realm martial artist was definitely a top-notch expert. In the Germinal base, he could even be on par with the three managers!
The main point was that Shield Ghost had never joined the Germinal Organization and had completely relied on his own strength to achieve this!
To many wasteland reclaimers and refugees, he had undoubtedly become an existence that was akin to a lighthouse in the night!
This was really awesome!
On the highest floor of the Germinal base.
A fierce argument erupted in Manager Number One’s office.
Manager Number Three led Luo Rixu and the others to severely condemn Manager Number Two.
Manager Number Two crossed his arms and was relaxed.
Manager Number One was an old man in his sixties with white hair. He sat behind his desk and rubbed his temples crazily.
“…Originally, Luo Rixu could have advanced perfectly to the Sixth Realm. Now, he has to use two ordinary advancement materials! You have to give me an explanation for this matter!”
Manager Number Three’s words were intense.
Before Manager Number Two could speak, Black, who was pouring tons of vodka, interrupted, “Is Shield Ghost stronger or Luo Rixu stronger?”
Manager Number Three said, “You can’t use that as…”
Black said, “Let me ask you something. Is Shield Ghost stronger or Luo Rixu stronger?”
Luo Rixu trembled and could not help but shrink behind Manager Number Three.
Number Three: “…Shield Ghost is stronger.”
Black took another gulp of vodka. “Then isn’t it over? Shield Ghost can play a stronger role. The strong deserve a perfect advancement more than the weak. Why should this opportunity be given to Luo Rixu? Who the hell is he?”
Number Two smiled and said, “Shield Ghost is already a Sixth Realm martial artist. Instead of trying to rope in such a huge help, you even want Shield Ghost to give you an explanation. Could it be that you want to push Shield Ghost to the Construction Division?”
After saying this, he directly placed the blame on Manager Number Three.
Getting Shield Ghost to join the enemy!
Manager Number Three’s expression changed slightly. “Number Two, don’t slander me. I’m only protecting my subordinates!”
Manager Number One coughed lightly. “Alright, alright. In such a time, we are in dire need of talent. Let’s not discuss this small conflict between Luo Rixu and Shield Ghost in public. It’ll hurt our relationship.”
“Everyone, disperse. We have to increase our strength as soon as possible and prepare for the battle plan.”
Manager Number Three gritted his teeth. “Are we just going to let this matter go?!”
Black stood up immediately and walked in front of Luo Rixu. He looked down at him and said, “Luo Rixu, do you think we should just let it go?”
The aura of a Seventh Realm martial artist made Luo Rixu speechless and he instinctively nodded.
Black chuckled. “Look, even the person involved has nodded.”
Manager Number Three glared at Luo Rixu angrily. I helped you fight for benefits, but you backed down just because you were scared?
In the end, both sides gently exchanged their opinions and left unhappily.
Under Manager Number Two’s strong protection, Shield Ghost was not punished.
As part of a public gesture, Luo Rixu only got two precious purple equipment from the logistics department as compensation.
After this matter was resolved, the wasteland reclaimers and refugees were even more excited.
Shield Ghost was really impressive!
He had killed several experienced mystic realm kings and beaten up Manager Number Three’s powerful subordinates. However, under Manager Number Two’s strong protection, he did not receive any punishments!
For a moment, many wasteland reclaimers and fighters had a deep impression of Manager Number Two.
Some of the fighters also secretly contacted Lu Luo, hoping to join Manager Number Two’s faction.
Manager Number Two was so happy that he grinned from ear to ear.
Another week passed.
The Germinal Organization, which had been accumulating strength, suddenly gave an order.
All the martial artists were suddenly asked to spread out and search for large demon beast groups near East Lake City. After locating them, the martial artists were instructed not to alarm the group, Instead, they were supposed to immediately mark the location before returning to report.
In order to ensure their safety, there were fifteen Third Realm martial artists, four Fourth Realm martial artists, and two Fifth Realm martial artists in each group. They would scatter and search in different directions.
The martial artists who ended up finding the demon beast group would be rewarded with equipment, skill books, runes, and attribute items. The grade of these items would all be uncommon green and above.
If one could find a larger number of demon beasts, the rewards would be even better.
Hearing this news, Lin Xuan immediately guessed what the higher-ups wanted to do.
They wanted to lure the demon beasts and get them to attack White Crane Town.
This should only be the early stages of the battle plan.
The bigger part was yet to come.
As soon as the order was given, the martial artists immediately formed into teams and left the base. They explored in the north, south, and east of East Lake City. There was no need for them to explore in the western direction as the East Lake was located there.
As a noble Sixth Realm martial artist and an honorary fighter of the Germinal Organization, Shield Ghost naturally did not need to participate in such bitter work.
After a day, many martial artists were killed by the demon beast group. However, more martial artists also brought back news related to the demon beast group.
A map of the region around East Lake City was slowly being formed. Red spots were marked on the map and indicated the gathering places of the wandering demon beasts.
Lu Luo brought this map to Shield Ghost with a burning gaze. “You know what I want from you.”
Lin Xuan said, “I don’t understand.”
Lu Luo said, “You will be rewarded with a peerless golden rune of your choice.”
Lin Xuan said, “Say no more, I understand.”
In the dark of the night, Lin Xuan changed into a black cloak and left quietly.
He naturally understood what Lu Luo meant. She wanted him to enter the wilderness to drive away the demon beasts.
In this way, they could disrupt the Germinal Organization’s plan.
Lin Xuan initially acted like he didn’t understand because he wanted more benefits.
Although the forging table in his consciousness space had been forging runes day and night, the number of rune fragments he had obtained were still too few.
Moreover, because the forging process was completely random, this often led to him getting peerless golden runes that were not suitable for him. He could only endure the pain and smelt them.
“A peerless golden rune of his choice would definitely make the trip worth it.”
Lin Xuan’s equipment was a Demon Flame Set that had been obtained from the Blazing Fire Plains. The effect of the set was simple and crude. It increased magic damage by 20%, fire damage by 20%, and -5% magic power consumption.
He was wearing Javier’s ring and the Assassin Ring. This allowed him to wear a lot of equipment without decreasing his movement speed.
In the night, he moved quickly through the wilderness like a ghost.
Soon, he found the first demon beast group on the map.
This demon beast group only had more than a hundred demon beasts. The strongest was only at the Fourth Realm.
“The best way to drive them away is to kill them all!”
The flames in his palm reflected Lin Xuan’s Patrick Star mask, calm and ridiculous.
