“Adventure group??? Why did you think of forming one?”

As the name implied, an adventure group was a team consisting of adventurers.

The country valued teamwork very much. Other independent adventurers who were unaffiliated with any sects or organizations were also aware that many hands made work lighter. Thus, forming an adventure group was not something extraordinary. However, Lin Yao was surprised by the fact that Qin Ya was asking him to form one.

“You can earn points by doing that. Ah Yao, you’re very fast at locating freaks and beasts, but it is very difficult to deal with them. Most of the beasts yesterday were attacked and killed by independent adventurers. If we had our own adventure group, we’d be able to get more points. Furthermore, as the team leader, you could also gain some commission points.”

“That’s not all, right?”

Lin Yao could sense that Qin Ya was not telling him everything thanks to his Good and Evil Distinguishment ability. Qin Ya didn’t deny this either. She dragged Lin Yao to a corner and spoke after looking around and confirming that they were alone. “There are two other reasons. First, after forming an adventure group, your situation will be better if something like last night’s incident happens again.”

As Qin Ya said this, Lin Yao clenched his fists tightly.

He understood what Qin Ya was getting at. Lin Yao had returned home wounded last night. It was true that the freaks were anxious to kill him. However, another reason was that the other adventurers did not prioritize protecting Lin Yao.

When the freaks had rushed toward Lin Yao, the independent adventurers had dispersed and left, exposing Lin Yao, who was the target.

Of course, while leaving, they’d also been attacking the freaks with long-range attacks.

Lin Yao could not blame the adventurers for not doing their best to protect him, as they were totally unrelated to him. However, Qin Ya was unhappy with this after learning what had happened last night.

‘My boy Lin Yao is helping you guys look for freaks, yet you’re not doing your utmost to protect him!’

How could Qin Ya, who’d had a change of heart and was now focusing all her attention on Lin Yao, possibly tolerate this? As a result, she wished to form an adventure group to groom her own people.

There were limits to what an adventure group could do. Qin Ya would not be able to make those people sacrifice their lives for Lin Yao, but she could arrange for competent defenders to protect him and relieve the pressure on Lin Yao.

When Lin Yao heard this, he felt tempted. He would benefit by earning points or commission, as well as forming an adventure group to get others to protect him. At the same time, he also thought of another reason that Qin Ya had not stated.

Arching his eyebrow, Lin Yao tried to get Qin Ya to voice the third reason. Qin Ya didn’t leave him hanging, but her voice became much softer.

“The third reason is that it is time for you to groom your own strong team. The country intends to make you a legion commander, but without his own team, a legion commander…”

Qin Ya didn’t continue, but Lin Yao had already understood what she meant. Without his own ‘disciples’, it was very likely that he might become a puppet.

Furthermore, this was already the case, as Lin Yao’s talent could not be replaced. If someone else were to awaken with light-related abilities, Lin Yao might really be replaced.

He had given up a lot of things to join the military organization. Of course, he was reluctant to see this happen.

Rooted to the spot, after pondering it for a long time, Lin Yao finally said, “Can I trust you?”

“Of course. Right… There is something I have not told you. I have dissolved my company. I will be your exclusive manager henceforth.”

“I see. May we have a pleasant cooperation.”

“May we have a pleasant cooperation.”

The two of them shook hands and reached a consensus.

Soon, Qin Ya started talking about the specifics.

“We can’t recruit without any criteria. We have to create value and attract valuable people so they will join us. We will have a unique appeal then.”

“We are lacking this, right?”

It was not that Lin Yao didn’t believe in himself, but he felt that there was nothing special about him. Although he had some money, this was completely unattractive in comparison to major companies and dojos.

Lin Yao was well aware that forming an adventure group would not be an easy feat. A lot of funds would be required if the group wanted to get bigger and stronger.

In comparison to Lin Yao’s pessimism, Qin Ya was a lot more optimistic. “We have our uniqueness. Aren’t you the greatest attraction?”

“Are you thinking of making me display my talent to attract people?”

“Yes. Aren’t you going to complete missions? I plan to live-stream the execution of the missions and put up a hiring advertis.e.m.e.nt during the live streams. In addition, your live streams should be able to draw in some funds.”

Qin Ya was indeed very capable. Just one day after joining the team, she had made many changes for Lin Yao.

Lin Yao did not reject these changes, neither did he not delve into them. After contemplating it for a while, Lin Yao simply delegated these matters to her. “I’ll leave this stuff to you. I only have one request—don’t take up too much of my time.”

“No problem. You just have to sign the agreements for the live streams and form an adventure group. Leave the rest to me.”

After reading and signing the two agreements, Lin Yao left Qin Ya to get busy and headed outside of the city by following the route planned by Qin Ya.

Before Lin Yao flew away, Qin Ya wanted to say something but she dared not do so in the end.

She had wanted to suggest having Jin Cheng and the other people she had groomed in the adventure group. However, she didn’t say this eventually, as she knew this would make Lin Yao unhappy.

‘The formation of an adventure group has been confirmed. I’m going to be busy now.’

On the surface, Qin Ya seemed to be forming an adventure group for the sake of Lin Yao. Nevertheless, she had some personal interests at heart.

There was no doubt Lin Yao would formally join the military organization when he grew up. However, the military had strict disciplinary rules. If Lin Yao was promoted solely due to the support of the country, he would have to abide by the military’s rules. This would not be of much help to families such as the Qin Family and Yin Family, who were depending on Lin Yao.

Conversely, if Lin Yao was already very strong and powerful before he formally joined the military organization, he would be able to accomplish many things after he became the commander of the Paladin Legion.

Since she had decided to rely on Lin Yao wholeheartedly, Qin Ya had to spare a thought for her own family.

At the same time, Qin Ya also understood that Lin Yao was someone who pursued independence and power and would not want to be distracted by managing these forces. Therefore, she was certain she would have a say in the adventure group.

This was a woman who wanted to hold power despite being dependent on Lin Yao.

Lin Yao had actually guessed this. Nevertheless, he did not feel repulsed. It was good for one to be ambitious so long as one was not stupid.

‘As long as I maintain absolute power, so what if she is ambitious?’

After pondering the matter of the adventure group shortly, Lin Yao soon put this behind him.

Meanwhile, he was flying toward the ninth Satellite City rapidly.

This satellite city had been attacked by beasts and freaks both from the inside and the outside. They had broken down the defense of the city walls. The situation there was not very good. Lin Yao was aiming at the huge number of beasts attacking the city.

After leaving Shanghai and traveling for 10 more kilometers, Lin Yao didn’t notice anything unusual.

However, the situation changed after this 10-kilometer journey. There was a large number of forests, hills, and lakes scattered in the wilderness. Amid this return to nature, the spirit energy in the air was very rich. Even the air felt fresher and was very conducive to cultivating. However, countless monsters and beasts were also entrenched there.

Soaring high in the sky, Lin Yao relied on Electromagnetic Induction and sensed a large number of military personnel and armed police.

They were opening up roads in the forests, digging through mountains, and building bridges across the rivers. At the same time, they patrolled back and forth on the roads and the bridges repeatedly to kill the beasts. This was the only way to stop the roads from being destroyed.

Upon seeing the endless military personnel working painstakingly hard and watching them opening up the “lifelines” between the cities, Lin Yao could truly understand why the town needed to recruit martial artists from the civilian population.

Obviously, too many roads had been damaged and the officials were short of manpower.

The task of opening the roads aside, the military personnel also had to close the entrances and guard the resources of the strange world, destroy mysterious lands, investigate and detect this dangerous strange world, as well as attack the beasts that congregated. They had too many tasks on hand.

‘These are people who deserve our respect. It is thanks to their protection that this world is so safe. I’ll be joining this team in the future too.’

With this thought in mind, Lin Yao felt pretty good about this.

‘Forget it, I will not think about this anymore. I shouldn’t waste time on the road. I’ll try out yesterday’s move.’

After removing himself from the possession of the feathered serpent spirit, Lin Yao made it grow bigger and then rode it. He didn’t rely on the Tempest Wings for the journey.

Afterward, Lin Yao used his mind and condensed the profound meaning of the guardian holy seal—holy garment on the surface of his body.

As he touched the shabby holy garment on his body, Lin Yao’s expression became solemn.

‘This occasion will determine whether this bronze holy garment will transform into the Leo Gold Holy Garment.’
