Gu Qing Shan turned into Wang Cheng and quickly walked towards the main ship.
As soon as he left the wreckage, he saw the second mate standing at the entrance of the main ship, coldly staring at him.
The search is over.
Everyone has returned to the main ship, only the second mate was still standing here.
It was as if he was waiting for someone.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at him, didn't say anything, and walked into the main ship's passage.
"Wang Cheng, where's your fiend?"
As they walked past, the second mate couldn't help but ask.
"It, the matter is over, so it went back" Gu Qing Shan answered.
The second mate was a bit stunned, then gave her a small bag.
"This is your salary for this month, everyone else has already received it, only you haven't" he said.
"Ah, thank you, no wonder you were waiting for me here" Gu Qing Shan received the bag.
He didn't even look back as he walked through the passage and disappeared.
The second mate stared at his back without moving.
A while later.
The second mate muttered: "Damn brat, finally got rid of the fiend …"
He let out a long sigh, and a relaxed expression appeared on his face.
If Wang Cheng didn't have such a powerful Devil King by his side, who would be afraid of him?
He didn't know that Wang Cheng could summon a Devil King before.
Otherwise, if he really wanted to deal with a summoner, all he needed to do was not give the summoner enough time to chant the summoning incantation.
This was very easy to do in a cramped environment like the ship.
While thinking, the second mate slowly walked into the main ship's entrance.
On the other side.
Gu Qing Shan was walking through the public area of the ship.
He saw the first mate's corpse hanging together with 7-8 other corpses, displayed in front of everyone.
Several crew members were gathered here, discussing this.
"So Wang Cheng had wrongly blamed the second mate, it was actually the first mate who did this"
"I've already felt that there was something wrong with the first mate"
"Hmph, he's always been able to cover the sky with one hand, and now the captain finally found out what he did"
"Helping Bai Yu and Zhang Yi kill Wang Cheng, I wonder how much money he took"
"Regardless of how much money he took, he finally got what he deserved"
"Now that I think about it, he must have been the one who killed the previous crew members."
Gu Qing Shan did not step forward.
He quietly listened to the people's discussion.
According to Wang Cheng's memories, there would occasionally be deaths in previous missions.
However, this was inevitable. Engaging in such a dangerous job would definitely require a certain amount of risk.
However, earlier today, the spaceship was suddenly attacked by monsters, and many people died.
This could only be considered unlucky.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze swept past the first mate and looked at the other corpses.
According to the captain's notice, these people were accomplices of the first mate. They had been helping the first mate arrange all kinds of secret matters, betraying the captain's trust.
According to the rules, these people should also die.
But this way, the situation of the spaceship was not too good.
A group of people died when they encountered the monster, and another group of people died when they betrayed the captain.
Now, there were not many people left on the spaceship.
Fortunately, although the captain's punishment was harsh, it was for the good of everyone, so the remaining people were at ease.
Gu Qing Shan tilted his head and looked through the window at the space vortex outside the ship.
— — -that was the vast space leading to the 200 million World Layers, where countless ferocious monsters lived and thrived. Even the civilizations of different races had to travel through this seemingly endless space to reach other worlds.
According to Wang Cheng's memories, to ensure the safety of the spaceship, at least a dozen people were needed to operate the ship at the same time.
But now, most of the people on the ship had already died, leaving only 7-8 people.
Seems like the ship will need to hire more people after reaching the black market.
Gu Qing Shan shook his head and left.
He returned to Wang Cheng's personal cabin.
Closing the door, opening the bag that he just received, Gu Qing Shan shook the coins onto the table.
Clink clink clink!
The metal coins gave off a pleasant sound as they hit the table.
These were blue metal coins, heavy and sturdy. Not only were they sturdy, but they were also engraved with magical key runes to prevent counterfeiting.
The obverse of the coin was engraved with a six-armed monster, while the reverse side was engraved with the most widely accepted universal language of the 900 million World Layers with a '7'.
This was the # 7 coin.
In the Strife Zones, according to their purchasing power, there were a total of 1001 # 7 coins.
The larger the number, the more purchasing power they had.
Among the total of 1001 # 7 coins, the # 7 coin's purchasing power could only be considered the lowest.
— — -how much money could a job like picking up scraps of spaceships make?
The truly powerful flying transports couldn't be easily discovered by normal monsters.
Only those without money would ride on these highly dangerous and trashy flying transports.
Most of the time, it was these worst flying transports, as well as the poor people on them.
Because of that, picking up trash really couldn't make much money.
Trying to make a fortune from this was no different from daydreaming.
And Wang Cheng's tragedy was exactly like that.
If his evil creature summoning technique could improve a bit more, he would be able to leave this line of work and find a better job.
But he wouldn't get the chance.
Gu Qing Shan silently sighed, retracted her thoughts, and silently stared at Wang Cheng's pay.
The entire table was filled with blue # 7 coins, a total of 40 of them.
This was Wang Cheng's pay.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then lightly pulled something from a certain part of his personal cabin according to Wang Cheng's memories.
A small box appeared in front of him.
He lifted the box up and opened it on the table.
The entire box was filled to the brim with # 7 coins.
Gu Qing Shan smiled bitterly.
Fine, I'm currently broke, even if these coins are the lowest of the lowest, it's still a bit of wealth.
He took out one of the coins and carefully observed it.
The six-armed monster on the coin sensed his gaze.
The monster seemed to be very annoyed, it even threateningly waved its arm at Gu Qing Shan.
Two lines of text were carved below the monster:
[Six claws]
[Small monster, characteristics: thick skin, low threat]
Reading these two lines of text, Gu Qing Shan's lips curled into a mocking smirk.
"Small monster, low threat?"
He muttered to himself.
— – Gu Qing Shan had seen this six-armed monster before when he first left the Novice world.
At the time, this monster was rampaging through the space vortex, not a single entity dared to provoke it.
Gu Qing Shan saw it with his own eyes, eating whoever it wanted in the space vortex, the epitome of invincibility.
However, it was only ranked seventh and was called a small monster. It was evaluated as a weak threat.
According to Wang Cheng's memories — — -
The Strife Zones issued a total of 1001 # 1 coins, each of which was carved with a different monster.
These monsters were also ranked according to their strength.
The monster carved on the # 1 coin was the weakest.
The strongest monster was carved on the # 1001 coin.
But it wasn't easy to see that monster.
It was said that in the Age of Old, even the Divinities had to fight against that monster for several years before they managed to kill it.
That monster only existed in legends, normal people wouldn't even have the chance to look at it — — - even if they looked at it from the coin itself.
Within the 200 million World Layers, the majority of people wouldn't even be able to see the # 1001 coin with their own eyes.
If a normal Professionist was able to use the 500th coin, they wouldn't have to worry about food or clothing in the Strife Zones.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit and sighed.
He put all the # 7 coins into the box and put it away in his Inventory Bag.
As soon as he did that, Gu Qing Shan's expression changed.
He took out a piece of newspaper.
— — -this was the Spire Keeper's newspaper that Meow gave him.
The first thing he saw was a picture.
A towering pagoda was cut in half at the middle and was slowly collapsing.
Lines of text quickly appeared below the picture.
[The day of the Spire's destruction]
[An indescribable terror has descended! It came so quickly that it surpassed everyone's expectations]
[The Tower of Knowledge created by the Old Gods has been destroyed]
[The Spire Keeper Association has suffered heavy casualties, but they are still making their last stand]
[Emergency rescue! Emergency rescue! All Lord-class and above Combatants of the 900 million World Layers to come and help!]
[This is a war that concerns the survival of the entire 900 million World Layers, if we lose this time, it will become even more powerful, so for the sake of your survival, please come to the world of the Spire and join the battle!]
Reading the newspaper, Gu Qing Shan held his breath.
The situation is this serious?
This was completely out of his expectations.
That thing in the God Institute had the face of half a man, half a woman — — – so what exactly is it?
What kind of entity would be able to destroy the Tower of Knowledge created by the Old Gods in one fell swoop?
Is there really no one who can stop it?
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but think about it again.
At this point, the content of the newspaper had been fully displayed, and he had finished reading the entire article.
But before he could put the newspaper away, another unimaginable event occurred.
The figure of light appeared in front of him.
It appeared in front of all living beings of the 200 million World Layers of the Strife Zones.
With a solemn and sacred tone, the figure of light declared: 「 Announcement: The first follower to light the Tree of Divinity has been born 」
「 The path to Godhood has officially begun 」
「 The Divinity barrier set up by the Old Gods will be activated 」
「 The Strife Zones will be hidden from the 900 million World Layers 」
