Chapter 401 Still thinking about winning over
"Wait...what happened? Why did the bug in front of me suddenly die?"
"That guy is so strong...these bugs were killed in an instant!"
"Could it be a Calamity-level powerhouse?"
Some passers-by who noticed the movement looked at Gu Yeming with surprise, as if they had never expected that such a strong man was hidden among the crowd.
"I'm late! These bugs—"
Ling Yue, the manager of the Modern Technology Zone, arrived late. Just when he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to get to work, he discovered that the large number of insects that were originally rampant on the street had become corpses on the ground.
He stood there in a daze. He had just received the news and rushed here a few minutes ago, but they were all dead in such a short time?
"Who did this?" Ling Yue asked a passerby with doubts in his mind.
"Mr. Administrator, it's the strong man." The passerby recognized Ling Yue's identity. He showed respect and pointed to the location of Gu Yeming.
Ling Yue looked in the direction the passerby pointed. At this moment, Gu Yeming had just retracted his spiritual power. He had an indifferent expression and looked towards the two people's position.
Ling Yue walked quickly forward and looked Gu Yeming up and down, his eyes full of surprise and curiosity.
Isn't this the Calamity-level Supreme called Styx? Why did he suddenly come to the Modern Technology Zone?
Because Gu Yeming was wearing a shadow mask on his face, Ling Yue did not recognize that the person in front of him was Gu Yeming, the potential stock who held the trial certificate and whom he had tried hard to win over not long ago.
As for how Ling Yue knew about the existence of a powerful Calamity-level warrior like Mingying...
As a regional manager, he is naturally linked to the intelligence of other areas. A new disaster-level powerful being will inevitably be included in the intelligence network. No matter which area it is, he will know something about it, and the modern technology area is no exception.
“Hahahahahaha, you are the Shadow, right? Thank you for cleaning up these bugs. I’m Ling Yue, the manager of the Modern Technology Zone. I will definitely repay you with Plane Coins later!”
The thought flashed through his mind, Ling Yue retracted his gaze and greeted Gu Yeming in a friendly manner.
Gu Yeming raised his eyes, looked at Ling Yue calmly, and said slowly: "They are just some small bugs. I happened to pass by and took care of them."
His tone was so calm, as if what he had just done was just a trivial matter.
However, because of the voice-changing function of the Phantom Mask, his voice became low and a little hoarse.
Ling Yue was keenly aware of this. He remained calm, smiling and arguing with the other party, while secretly thinking:
I heard that this Shadow is a strange monster in human form?
I just don't know whether they are native weird monsters... or those lucky ones who have been infected and assimilated but retained their human consciousness.
Of course, no matter which one it belongs to, it is an undoubted so-called "sin" for the killing faction of the Albino Cult.
Now he just hoped that those crazy people from the killing faction would not show up here, otherwise he would have to go through a lot of trouble again.
A similar incident happened not long ago, and it took him a lot of effort to suppress it. He then had to put on a smile and console those crazy bishops of the extermination sect in a kind and gentle manner.
It was clearly them who caused the trouble first, but now I have to put on a smile.
It's really irritating...
Thinking of this, Ling Yue quickly looked around, and only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no trace of the Killing Sect.
What is this guy doing?
Gu Yeming keenly caught Ling Yue's subtle movement, and couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, but he didn't ask any questions on the spot. Instead, he calmly took in the surroundings, trying to infer some clues from Ling Yue's seemingly casual behavior.
“Hahahaha, I’ve also heard a little about your deeds. You killed people all over the tribal plane and displayed your divine power!”
"Unfortunately, the tribal plane is still occupied by those abyss demons."
"This is not a place for conversation. How about you come with me as a guest? It would be bad if those extermination sects saw us."
After Ling Yue finished explaining the finishing work to the staff nearby, he smiled and invited Gu Yeming.
For a powerful Calamity-level being like this whose origin is unknown... we still have to ask him carefully.
At least we need to know whether there is any force behind it.
If so, it’s a good opportunity to get to know the other person.
If not, that’s even better. Try to see if you can win them over.
No wonder.
Gu Yeming said secretly.
The scene in which Shadow used psionic energy in the tribal plane was noticed by strong men from various forces. Because the psionic energy was mixed with a strange aura, they misunderstood it as having something to do with a strange monster.
I guess Ling Yue has been frightened by the Killing Faction recently, so he is exploring the surrounding environment.
Gu Yeming's mind was turning, but his face remained calm. He nodded and said, "In that case, I will bother you, Master Ling Yue."
The two of them went to Ling Yue's residence in the modern technology zone. Along the way, although the streets had returned to order, traces of the insect plague that had just occurred could still be seen.
Pedestrians hurried by, looking at Gu Yeming and Ling Yue with awe and curiosity in their eyes.
"Who is that person, and how could he walk side by side with the Administrator?"
"Keep your voice down... I'm sure that's also a Calamity-level powerhouse!"
"Hiss—when did such a powerful person appear in the Modern Technology Zone?"
After a while, the two arrived at the mansion, which was a modern and technological building with metal walls shining coldly in the sun.
Entering the living room, the decoration is simple yet elegant. The intelligent mechanical butler quickly brings drinks and snacks and then quietly leaves.
Ling Yue motioned for Gu Yeming to sit down and said with a smile:
"Your Excellency Mingying, the situation in this domain is complicated now, and various forces are constantly fighting. A strong person like you must have some background behind him, right?"
Ling Yue spoke seemingly casually, but in fact his eyes were fixed on Gu Yeming, trying to catch a clue from the other party's reaction.
Still thinking about winning over.
Gu Yeming sneered in his heart. He naturally understood Ling Yue's intention. After a pause, he slowly said, "I am used to being alone and don't have any power background. This time I came to the modern science and technology zone, it was just a coincidence."
Ling Yue frowned slightly, feeling skeptical about the answer.
However, he did not show it, and continued: "I see, with your strength, if you can join a certain force, you will surely be able to create something big. Do you have this idea?"
Gu Yeming picked up the teacup, and part of the mask covering his lips suddenly disappeared. He then took a sip and responded slowly, "I am free by nature and don't want to be constrained. As for power, it doesn't have much appeal to me."
"So, Master Ling Yue doesn't have to go to great lengths to get me to join your group."
