“Awaken the Devil King Warden Rod and initiate another competition to beco the Devil King…”
Gu Qing Shan hesitated.
This wasn’t impossible at all, in fact, he had done it once before.
!!
But he was a lot more cautious now than ever.
—–what was the reason for being targeted and surrounded by all the Sequence Envoys?
I managed to establish and build Star Gazer city without giving up anything in return.
I managed to directly defeat the Corruption Sequence within the Human realm Initial Grave.
By borrowing the divine sword’s power, I summoned the Samsara’s will and sent the Eternal Mind Seizer running.
Now that I think about it, everything I’ve done up to now has been too eye-catching.
Regardless of who or what the entities lying in wait are, my success has managed to rouse their caution.
That’s the reason I fell into a deathtrap.
So should I repeat that entire process once again?
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.
——-ever since I entered the Huang Quan realm, while everything had been smooth sailing, I’ve actually had to go through several layers of screening.
The first layer was getting onto shore.
Normal people would be eliminated here and be sent straight into reincarnation through the Forgetting River, only Professionists would be allowed to remain.
The second was entering the Hall of Reincarnation.
There was a tamorphosis Pond inside of this place that would directly confirm and register one’s identity, there were also a group of devil soldiers and generals standing on guard to deal with any situation that might arise.
The third was to join one of the six departnts.
This would be the actual beginning, it represents the fact that one has the qualifications to start working, as for whether or not they would be able to survive——
The teor rain earlier clearly reflected the status quo.
With all of that in mind, if soone who had just climbed out of the River of Death were to beco the Huang Quan Devil King right away…
That would be quite the shocking news.
It would draw a lot of attention.
I need to proceed with this one step at a ti… at least, I need to think of a way to earn rits inconspicuously.
Then, let’s lay out the steps.
Firstly, I need to make sure everyone accepts my character setting.
A powerful summoner and close combat expert who originated from the River of Death that is practically unbeatable in battle.
Once everyone accepts this setting, it would make perfect sense for to then beco the Huang Quan Devil King.
After making up his mind, Gu Qing Shan asked: “You just said ‘awaken the Devil King Warden Rod’——– is it perhaps in slumber?”
Liu Li sighed: “Yeah, its circumstances are a bit unique. Its previous master had abandoned their Samsara identity and left the Samsara, so it fell into deep slumber”
“How can we awaken it?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
Xiao Lang replied: “With rits. By offering enough rits, Huang Quan’s Origin power will be imbued into the Devil King Warden Rod and awaken it to reinstate the ‘Devil King’ Deific Authority”
“How many rits will we need?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“1 million” Xiao Lang said.
Gu Qing Shan exclaid: “That much!?”
“Yeah, and only mbers of the 18 Hells departnt are allowed to do this as well” Liu Li added.
“Entering the 18 Hells departnt ans it’s impossible to collect that much rits; but without such an astronomical number of rits, it would be impossible to beco the Devil King, it’s a dead end” Xiao Lang concluded.
“For that reason, Hell has remained in this limbo state this entire ti” Gu Qing Shan sighed.
“Yeah, we can’t accept any tasks or jobs, and everyone else is always so busy that it’s almost impossible to run into anyone, we can’t even borrow so rits to buy rations, this has been ongoing for a while” Liu Li followed up.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly cut in: “Wait——-”
“What is it?” Liu Li asked him doubtfully.
“You can lend and borrow rits?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Of course, not only can it be lent, it can also be gifted—— but everyone knows that we don’t have any inco, so they all take as far a distance from us as possible, nobody will lend us anything” Xiao Lang explained.
A glimr flashed over Gu Qing Shan’s eyes, he then muttered: “rit Accountant!”
A series of numbers imdiately appeared above his head: [0000]
The last ti he ca to Huang Quan, he already knew about the existence of this Huang Quan support machine; anyone in Huang Quan would be able to summon it and check their own rit value.
[This machine will only answer questions related to rits] the rit Accountant spoke.
“Alright, I want to ask you sothing, can rit be sold, bought, gifted, borrowed, as well as lent to others?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
[It can be] the machine answered.
Gu Qing Shan’s eyes were now glowing as he told the two girls: “I’ve thought of a way to earn rits”
“How do we do that?” Liu Li asked.
“Answer sothing first, if soone joined the 18 Hells departnt, would you be able to kick them out again?” Gu Qing Shan asked her.
“Of course I can, both and my sister are the only Deities left in Hell, so the authority to recruit as well as expel mbers reside in both of our hands” Xiao Lang replied.
“Then, would the people that have been expelled be able to join a different departnt?”
“They can”
“Then that’s enough”
Gu Qing Shan clapped his hands and stood up: “—–I didn’t want to be too conspicuous so I had to consider stealing dead people from the Forgetting River, but now that I’ve found a new thod, we can actually earn so rits now”
“From where?” both of the girls asked in unison.
“Co, let’s go make so preparations” Gu Qing Shan said.
…
The Hall of Reincarnation.
All the departnts were still here recruiting every person they could, which made for a very lively scene.
On the other side of the hall.
Several groups had gathered here.
These groups consisted of both Deities and powerful dead people, they were about to set out on their missions, so they had gathered here in preparation to be teleported.
Since they were all about to head out, they were all either anxious or silently solemn.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan and the two girls arrived.
Without caring about the various gazes from everybody, they brought a table to the center of the gathering area.
And then——
Gu Qing Shan leapt onto the table with a microphone and cleared his throat: “Everyone, Hell Insurance is now officially open for business!”
Everyone else didn’t know what he was talking about, so they all remained indifferent.
Gu Qing Shan continued: “No matter how arduous or brutal your assigned task is, if you pay us a certain amount of rits, we can guarantee that you’ll be able to return to Huang Quan alive!”
“This is nothing short of a chance of a lifeti! Don’t miss it, cause if you do, you will literally not get another”
The crowd went into a stir.
A Deity scoffed: 『 Our tasks are all exceptionally brutal, and you’re only a dead person; how are you supposed to guarantee our lives? 』
Gu Qing Shan imdiately took that chance: “Good question!”
“——-I trust that everyone here knows this fact: for entities that are being subjected to suffering in Hell, as long as their sins haven’t been absolved, no matter how or where they die, they will return to Hell to continue their suffering”
Everyone nodded.
That wasn’t a lie, this was indeed the brutal and cruel Law of Hell, even a Deity wouldn’t be exempted from it.
Gu Qing Shan grinned and continued: “That is exactly what our service is—— we of the Hell Departnt will temporarily turn you into a mber of the Hell Departnt, by which you’ll be resurrected in Hell after you die”
One of the dead people at the venue felt a bit tempted, then quickly realized sothing and loudly questioned: 「 You’re joking with us right? Everyone here possesses positive rit values, and I heard that as long as your rit remains positive, you wouldn’t be able to enter Hell 」
Gu Qing Shan maintained his grin and answered: “That is very simple to resolve, I’d like to invite this Combatant up here with us——- after this, we’ll give you a 30% discount”
He jumped down from the table and helped the dead person up.
“Alright, now transfer all of your rits” Gu Qing Shan said.
The dead person just stared straight at him.
“There are so many people here, and we’re in the middle of the Hall of Reincarnation, how can I steal your rit?” Gu Qing Shan persuaded.
The dead person was still hesitant.
Gu Qing Shan relented: “Fine, if you’re willing to cooperate with for this demonstration, I’ll give you a 50% discount”
「 Ok deal 」the dead person said.
——-the task I was assigned is extrely dangerous, it doesn’t hurt to give this a try.
「 “rit Accountant!” 」
Both of them called out at the sa ti.
The rit value displayed above the dead person’s head was [1137]
Gu Qing Shan’s rit was [0000]
The two of them signed a waiver, then completed the transaction.
Gu Qing Shan’s rit then beca [1137], while the dead person’s beca [0000]
「 Although my rit is now zero, it’s still not negative, I still can’t enter Hell 」the dead person asked confusedly.
“This is the easy part” Gu Qing Shan handed him an empty can of beer.
The dead person was surprised and doubtfully asked: 「 This is——」
“Toss it” Gu Qing Shan told him.
The dead person randomly tossed it.
The can fell on the ground.
The rit value above his head instantly changed from [0000] to [-0001]
——littering was equal to a deduction of 1 rit.
Gu Qing Shan clapped his hands and said: “And we’re done, now please go to Gou Hun and Duo Ming to join Hell, then you can head out on your task”
「 Is this ok? What’s the punishnt for having negative 1 rit? 」the dead person nervously asked.
“An ice bath—— consider it a way to refresh yourself after battle” Gu Qing Shan casually explained.
“Trust , when it cos to Hell, we’re professionals, furthermore——”
Gu Qing Shan turned to the others and said full of implications: “Even if you don’t trust us, you should trust Hell to never forgive any entity whose rit is negative”
The dead person then asked: 「 What about after I return? 」
“We’ll expel you from Hell, give you back your rit, then you can return to your original departnt”
Gu Qing Shan answered obviously.
The dead person was stunned, then slowly realized.
That’s right.
In case that I fail my task, since I still carry the sin of littering, I wouldn’t have to enter the Forgetting River to reincarnate and would instead enter Hell to absolve my sins.
Does that an——
Isn’t that the sa as——
Returning to base?
After they expel and give back my rits, I essentially lose nothing for this.
The only question left is——
「 How much is your service? 」the dead person asked.
“500 rits” Gu Qing Shan answered with a straight face.
「 So expensive! It took 7-8 tasks for to earn just a bit over 1000 rits! 」the dead person exclaid.
The two girls standing behind Gu Qing Shan almost exclaid in shock as well.
That’s 500 rits you’re asking for, is that really a good price?
Don’t go scaring everyone away!
The two girls were both very anxious.
Gu Qing Shan casually replied: “Good brother, you get a 50% discount since you’re our first client, so you’re only paying 250”
“These 250 rits are the fees for saving your life, don’t you think your life is worth that much?”
“We’re a business here, so I won’t force anyone to do anything——- not to ntion, our two Deities Gou Hun and Duo Ming will be working very hard; one person to turn you into one of us and the other to lead you out from Hell; you’re not asking the Deities to work for free right?”
Gu Qing Shan explained with a calm and justified tone.
The dead person was still hesitant.
But soone else had already called out: “Hell Insurance, register for one ti!”
Another dead person ca up, requested rit transfer and handed everything to Gu Qing Shan without hesitation.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised, but he remained cautious of sabotage and asked with a stern expression: “Brother, we’re delighted for your generosity——- I can give you a VIP mbership later, so can I ask why you’re in such a rush?”
“Hurry up, I only have 3 minutes before I need to head out, send to Hell now” the dead person replied.
Gu Qing Shan understood right away.
—–he’s in a hurry to keep his life.
“Got it!”
Gu Qing Shan waved his hand and gave the dead person an empty can.
The dead person tossed the can away.
“Xiao Lang!” Gu Qing Shan called out.
Xiao Lang flew onto the table and personally inducted that dead person into the Hell Departnt.
The entire process only took 1 minute.
“Alright, I don’t have to feel nervous now” the dead person sighed in relief.
Gu Qing Shan read his expression and whispered: “Your task was——”
“I drew the lot for the ‘expendables'” the dead person answered with as few words as possible.
Complete silence.
Everyone looked at him with sympathy.
The dead person quickly vanished, having been transported away.
A few monts later.
Liu Li’s expression shifted a bit and said: “He’s back in Hell, let pick him up”
She then disappeared.
Not even a minute later, she reappeared with the sa dead person.
He was still muttering to himself with absolute horror: “—ran into that terrifying… You know, never mind, it’s good that I escaped death”
He then clasped his fist towards Gu Qing Shan and the two girls: “Thank you for saving my life”
“You’re being too formal, it’s rely a transaction” Gu Qing Shan returned the gesture.
In front of the crowd, he returned the rits to the other party.
Keeping only 500 rits as a fee.
A re 500.
“Alright” Gu Qing Shan turned back to the first dead person and asked: “Have you made up your mind?”
「 Hm, give one ti of Hell Insurance as well 」the dead person resolutely said.
“I’ll take one ti too”
『 I also want this kind of return protection! 』
「 Please arrange for quickly, my task is about to begin! 」
“Screw you, line up, first co first serve!”
Gu Qing Shan turned back towards the two girls.
Both of them were still stunned, apparently not sure what to think.
“Xiao Lang, Liu Li, we have money now”
Gu Qing Shan smiled with narrowed eyes as he sent his voice to them.
