293: Chapter 292 Main and Auxiliary Tombs: The Ga Begins 293: Chapter 292 Main and Auxiliary Tombs: The Ga Begins “Will you help ?”
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 sowhat disheartened.
Lu Zixun’s overly mature deanor 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 mont of hesitation, Si Keke pursed her lips, “If you help 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 aningful 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 mont.
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 sa, could it an that his big break had co?
“I’ll take the risk.”
After pondering for a mont, 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 sowhat 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 beco stronger.”
Lu Zixun looked at Lin Siyin sowhat astonished.
At this mont, 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 rely nodded and uttered softly, “Okay.”
…
The scheduled ga 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 deanor.
It made Xiong Kang almost unable to resist the urge to punch him.
“We are here to exterminate bugs, not to play gas!
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 rembered sothing and looked at Xiong Kang, “Hey?
Kang Ning, the thing I ntioned 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 ntioned.”
Xiong Kang paused and explained to Lu Zixun, who looked puzzled, “Central Square has a high volu of people.
We could place Insect Clan detection equipnt 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 ans we can’t check identities using that thod.
We can only broadly screen for ‘people’ exhibiting strange behaviors, aning so 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 sotis 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 developnt issues of STO with Xiong Kang.
“Hey.”
Xiong Kang smiled, a look of you-don’t-understand on his face, “The minimum requirent to join STO is to beco 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 mbers 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 na suggests, genetic optimization is ant 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 accustod to the headache, said, “Poor physical condition, insufficient spiritual power, and most importantly, an inability to endure hardship—when these factors co together, only a handful can beco 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 sothing 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 advertisent 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 sothing.
The black wolf suddenly leaned into the cara, revealing a fierce grin under his mask, “Good afternoon, friends of Lingchuan City.”
