"Life is full of surprises." Wei Dazhuang's gaze landed on the Galaxy Divinity Temple guards.
He had no idea where these monsters came from, but they seemed to be on the mysterious man's side.
"Yeah, but I don't think it's an accident. It's a surprise." Lu Sheng licked his lips.
"Since it's fate that we met, why don't we go for a drink?" He was now very interested in this Wei Dazhuang. The world as a whole was like food to the cracks of nothingness. It should not have such a strong resistance.
After all, this was just a high-level world, not a Super level. Only an Ultra-level world could have such a level of combat power.
Back then, Xining's incarnation had almost crushed the previous world.
Therefore, the appearance of a powerhouse at Wei Dazhuang's level was a very strange thing in itself.
"I don't drink, maybe next time. Oh yeah, do you know where I can find a job to earn money?" Wei Dazhuang touched his bald head and asked blankly.
"Earn money?" Lu Sheng was stunned. This guy still needed money when he was so strong? Would the Hero Alliance treat him like a boss?
That was what he thought, but he vaguely recalled the setting of an anime he saw on Earth. It seemed to be similar to this guy.
Could it be that the anime is a projection of the real world in front of me?
Thoughts churning in his mind, Lu Sheng pondered for a moment, then answered tentatively.
"You need a job?"
"Yeah, the money I have now is enough to last me until the day after tomorrow … I lost too much money in the fight earlier …" Wei Dazhuang held his head and looked pained when he thought of that.
"Come to think of it, I can offer you a job. It pays well, if you're willing." Lu Sheng smiled. This was a test. Whether he could succeed or not, it was only a matter of a few words.
"What job? Tell me first. I won't do anything illegal," Wei Dazhuang said righteously.
"It's okay. I'm a law-abiding citizen. I don't touch prostitution, gambling, or drugs. Other than eating and drinking, I don't have any other hobbies, "Lu Sheng said seriously." The job I want to ask you is to help me find my wife. "
He had a loving look on his face.
"My wife is very gentle, kind, and peaceful. She has a beautiful heart. Although she is occasionally passionate and has a little accident, she never takes the initiative to hurt others. "
"I can see that you love your wife very much." Wei Dazhuang nodded.
"Yes, so I'm still looking for her. If you are willing to accept this commission with me, I can pay you a salary of 100,000 Lasos per year. "
The Lasso Dollar was the currency in circulation in the region where Wei Dazhuang was located. Its purchasing power was equivalent to 100,000 US dollars on Earth, or perhaps slightly more.
In this era of low productivity, this amount of money was an absolute fortune to anyone.
"A hundred thousand Lasso dollars?!" Wei Dazhuang's jaw dropped, his face full of surprise.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course." Lu Sheng smiled.
"I … I …" Wei Dazhuang's expression suddenly turned gloomy. "What a pity … I owe the Hero Alliance a lot of money … I still have to work for them for twenty years …"
"…" So this was how the Hero Alliance tied him together?
Lu Sheng was speechless.
"Forget it, thank you for your commission … I have to leave first … Without the alliance's permission, I can't work outside …" Wei Dazhuang said helplessly.
"I think you misunderstood something. The Hero Alliance has many Grade S heroes, right? Think about it, how did your debt come about? "
"I destroyed many buildings … when I was fighting."
"What about Grade S heroes? Didn't they destroy buildings when they were fighting? "Lu Sheng asked.
"Uh …" Wei Dazhuang was speechless. "Maybe they are richer than me?"
"No … they just have special privileges. They don't need to compensate themselves, "Lu Sheng answered. "So, you are actually being tricked. The Hero Alliance is tricking you on purpose. "
"Is that so??" Wei Dazhuang was stunned.
"Although you are very weak in my eyes, you are much stronger than the average hero. However, your strength is much stronger than an ordinary hero's. An expert like you is still troubled by money. That's an abnormal phenomenon, "Lu Sheng tried to guide him in a straightforward manner.
"… Makes sense …" Wei Dazhuang fell into deep thought. Although the guy in front of him was bragging and he felt that he could settle it with one punch, he had to admit that his words made sense.
"Do you understand? Then go back and argue with the people from the alliance. I have to go. This is my contact. If you encounter any problems, you can call me for advice. "Lu Sheng smiled." Don't worry, it's free. "
Wei Dazhuang was still in a daze.
Lu Sheng turned around and walked quickly back to the hotel.
He had just arrived and he was treated warmly by the void creatures. The natives here were really friendly.
He planned to investigate and see if there were any traces left behind by Wang Jing and the rest.
Wei Dazhuang left quickly. Lu Sheng stayed in the hotel for more than three days. He did not discover any new attacks or changes. The void monsters around him seemed to have been wiped out in the previous wave.
He had released ten Galaxy Divinity Temple Guards to hunt down the Void Monsters. They had killed almost all of the surrounding areas of the city. In the end, under Lu Sheng's initiative, they left behind the symbols representing the four gods and quickly disappeared.
It was also a form of publicity for the Galaxy Divinity Temple.
After investigating the surrounding area and finding nothing, Lu Sheng continued to another place where Wang Jing and her disciple had left their traces — Kanshabia.
There were no void monsters this time. However, to his surprise, there were also traces of void cracks here.
…
…
"Whoosh …"
White splashes left long trails on the surface of the sea.
On a small speedboat, Lu Sheng and two old scholars in suits, gold-rimmed glasses and silver-edged pocket watches, were looking at the island that was rapidly approaching them.
The two scholars were Kanshabia's local believers of the Seven-Colored Dragon King Sect. One of them was Ankha, the other was Xisador. Both of them were geology professors at a university in Kanshabia.
When they received the news that the mediator was coming to investigate the situation, they immediately put down their work and volunteered to cooperate with the mediator.
"This is the place in Kanshabia where there have been frequent anomalies recently, Hange Island," Ankha said loudly as he adjusted his glasses.
If he did not speak loudly enough, he would not be able to hear anything over the sound of the speedboat's engine.
"I hope we can find something." Lu Sheng nodded.
"We'll walk in front later. Xisador and I have been here alone before. I have to say, the environment here is very harsh. If it's not necessary, please don't stray more than ten meters away from us," Ankha reminded.
"No problem." Lu Sheng nodded.
The speedboat dragged a long white tail behind it. It soon approached Hange Island and slowly stopped in the shallow waters.
There was still some distance before they reached the island, but they could not get any closer. The shallow waters were filled with all kinds of coral reefs.
"With the speedboat's draft, we can't get any closer." Ankha dropped a heavy anchor onto one of the coral reefs in the shallow waters.
Xisador, on the other hand, started carrying the equipment needed to get to the island.
"So, are we going to the island now?" He looked at Lu Sheng and asked.
After all, Lu Sheng was the one in charge of this mission.
"Okay." Lu Sheng looked at the two old men. He was about to ask them how to get to the island.
Instead, he saw Ankha slowly take off his shirt and place it neatly into a waterproof leather pocket.
"When we scholars go out to investigate, we often need to prepare various countermeasures and tools."
"For example?" Lu Sheng was curious as well. How were they going to deal with the shallow waters of the coral reefs that were at least twenty meters deep?
"Like this." Ankha took a deep breath. His naked upper body began to expand rapidly.
"Whoosh!"
He threw more than ten leaves in front of him.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh. The leaves fell on the surface of the shallow waters.
Ankha leaped. His legs expanded and thickened as if they were inflated. He stomped down hard and landed on one of the leaves.
"Bam!"
A white wave exploded on the surface of the water. He used the momentum to fly forward again and landed on a second leaf.
"Bam bam bam bam!"
Amidst the continuous explosions, in less than three seconds, Ankha crossed the entire shallow waters and landed on the island's beach.
The second Xisado used a similar method. He stomped down hard and landed steadily on the golden beach.
Lu Sheng was speechless. He took off his shirt. He flipped and jumped into the water.
"Bam!"
He picked up the speedboat and sprinted on the water. He rushed onto the beach in a few steps.
"Boom!"
The huge speedboat landed heavily on the beach, leaving a deep dent.
Xisado and Ankha gave him a thumbs-up.
"Let's go. There are two troublesome areas here. When we came here, we solved some minor problems while we were inspecting the rock formation. I don't know if there are any changes now," Ankha explained.
"Lead the way." Lu Sheng clapped his hands and put on his clothes again.
Ankha led the way. Lu Sheng and Xisado followed closely behind. They walked along the dense forest.
Before long, they saw a two-meter-tall skeleton lying in the forest. It looked like a big cat like a tiger, but it was a little too big.
Xisado pointed at the pile of white bones and sighed.
"We're doing geological research. We always have to deal with unexpected situations like this. I was the one who knocked this huge saber-toothed tiger out and left it here. Unfortunately, it seems like someone took advantage of it. It didn't escape its fate of death."
"Life is full of accidents. Don't blame yourself, Xisado. It's not your fault, "Ankha consoled.
"Yes, I know." Xisado sighed.
Lu Sheng looked at the huge saber-toothed tiger's body. It was obviously a Mutated Behemoth that had been contaminated by the aura of nothingness.
It seemed like this trip was not in vain.
The three of them continued walking.
Slowly, there were more and more huge beast carcasses in the forest. Many of them were monsters that Xisado and Ankha had killed and knocked out.
The biggest one was more than four meters tall. It was a huge spotted white crocodile. Its thick, hard armor was covered in fist marks.
"When I caught it, it was as strong as when I caught a big fish when I was young. It was so strong! Now it seems like this guy met with an accident, "Ankha said regretfully.
More and more Behemoth died. This made Ankha and Xisado, two gentle pacifists, more anxious.
They wanted to find out more and more what could kill so many powerful monsters.
They went deeper into the forest. As the three of them walked, a faint white mist appeared around them.
"There's something wrong with the geology here." Ankha suddenly squatted down and touched the soil.
He picked it up and smelled it.
"There might be a volcano eruption. I remember there's an active volcano here. We need to suppress it and get rid of it. Otherwise, everything within thousands of nautical miles will be severely damaged. "
"You know, you're usually the best at this. I'm just in charge of the chores … "Xisado shrugged.
The two old men quickly set up some support formations that they could not understand.
