Chapter 496: Chapter 0496: Wilderness (Extra 5000, asking for monthly pass)
Inside Bai Jing Restaurant.
Several junior crows covered their eyes with their wings, yet couldn’t resist peeping through tiny cracks, stealing glances at the room.
Slap!
Slap! Slap!
Brandishing a bamboo whip, Su Lu cracked on the crows Ada and the others, causing them to scurry around the room, feathers fluttering and their squawks filling the room: “Got your Crow Kingdom, got your Crowmen… why don’t you just shoot for the stars?”
“Great master, that’s not our responsibility, it was all Ada’s idea.”
A’er and Asan quickly sold out Ada.
“You…”
The rescued Ada looked aggrievedly at A’er and Asan: “You guys are traitors!”
Slap!
Before he could finish his sentence, another whip hit the top of his head: “You’re a bird and you’re talking about loyalty!”
Su Lu was indeed angry.
His original intention was to low-key, but in the end, the small fry under him caused such an uproar.
What’s more crucial was that if he didn’t send out a spiritual body to observe tonight, maybe they would have all been arrested.
Even defeating birds requires the master’s discretion!
In the end, he was the one who had to step in and rescue these seven dumb birds.
“Great master, Ada has always been following your orders, to better monitor the entire East City, we need to bring it under our control!”
After choking and gasping for quite a while, Ada finally spat out the words.
“You mean… it was my command?”
Su Lu was so angry that he hit him with another whip.
This crow really knew how to twist commands and improvise, reminding him of a certain bone comic from the island country, where Bone Arrogant Sky was unknowingly set up by his subordinates to conquer the world.
‘Actually, upon reflection, this Ada and his minions are indeed alike, they might cause an uproar if you don’t keep an eye on them…’
“No…we wouldn’t dare!”
“The great master didn’t do anything wrong, only we did!”
A group of crows obediently lowered their heads like guilty children.
“Forget it… the situation is what it is.”
Su Lu threw away the bamboo whip: “We can’t stay in East City anymore… and dissolve whatever Crowman Organization you had! Don’t go to other cities, get lost in the wild.”
With all kinds of evolved creatures now roaming wildly, these guys could easily blend in, just like drops of water disappearing into the sea.
The Skynet would only carry out surveillance in major cities, where they did not have the ability to extend their forces into the wilderness, which ensured safety.
As for the current surveillance network in East city? Su Lu decided to let the spiritual body take over.
As the only ‘Necromancer Apprentice’ he was in a state of ‘lower-dimensional strikes’, where the medium-level soldiers were more stealthy than crows anyway.
“That will be it, you can go now.”
Su Lu waved his hand: “Remember to add a layer of illusion technique while you fly, if anyone sees you flying out from here, I will cook you!”
“Whimper…please don’t.”
“We swear on our lives that we will never be discovered.”
“You can trust us, great master.”
Seven crows all flew out of the window one after another.
As they flew, a misty light enveloped their bodies, like the protective color of the chameleon, making them blend into the environment and become indistinguishable.
High in the sky, seven crows lined up, and one crow suddenly accelerated to the front:
“Why are you all acting depressed?”
Ada looked at its six brothers and announced loudly: “Although we failed in our last mission, the great master has given us another task… we are to conquer the wilderness! In the wild, we’ll establish our rightful kingdom…no! Empire!”
“Buzz off!”
“Ada, you’re terrible, we won’t believe you anymore.”
The six crows all started to curse at Ada.
“This time you all heard the master’s command with me.” Ada proclaimed loudly: “Are you all planning to defy the great master’s command?”
“That…”
“It seems like Ada has a point.”
“The great master ordered us into the wilderness to establish a real empire!”
“Ah, we swear on the crow family’s name, we will definitely accomplish the task!”
The crows all seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, becoming particularly excited.
Su Lu probably never imagined that the drama king crow under him was not just a single crow, but a flock!
…
In the evening, various store signs and neon lights came on.
Bai Jing Restaurant was operating as usual.
Su Lu wiped his knife while taking a glance at his own attribute table:
——————————————
Name: Su Lu Pottery (Bai Jing)
Profession: Necromancer Apprentice (second rank)
Professional rank: [2]
Strength: [1.2], Agility: [1.1], Constitution: [2.1], Spirit: [3.3]
Skills: [Cooking Skill LV4], [Boxing Skill LV4], [Hypnosis LV4], [Spirit Communication Skill LV1]
XP: [0]
——————————————
“Ah, experience points. Once again, they’re not enough.”
The experience points he’d earned from the crows’ surveillance and occasional monster hunting were mostly spent on skill improvements and promotion to ‘Necromancer Apprentice’. Now, Su Lu found himself back to zero experience points.
“The advancements for the Necromancer Apprentice are ‘Spirit Summoner’! Prerequisite Spirit Communication Skill LV4!”
Other occupational people needed to upload their professions, and get information through induction, but not Su Lu.
He was always clear about his own path.
“As long as I have enough experience points and some special materials, when the world’s restrictions are lifted, I can quickly progress…”
“Now that the crows are gone, I can only rely on spiritual bodies for surveillance. Where can I strike a big win? Should I head back to the wilderness? But it’s become very dangerous there now…”
While Su Lu’s was pondering, Li Weiwei and Cheng Feng walked in.
“Same as always?”
Su Lu took a glance, noticing that Li Weiwei had been promoted and Cheng Feng seemed to be not far behind, so he couldn’t help but ask with a smile.
“Yes, bring three bottles of red wine first, you can prepare the rest of the dishes as you see fit…”
Cheng Feng laughed, beckoning Li Weiwei and Lin Hong to sit down. All three of them simultaneously took out their phones.
‘What’s the emergency that called us here so soon?’ – Li Weiwei.
‘I’m in trouble… or rather, we all are.’ Cheng Feng looked around with caution, typing rapidly: “The notables of the Eye of the Ancient God have arrived in East City.”
He was not surprised, it would have been strange if the other party had not sought revenge after the last failure.
‘I heard… that Robinson who died in the last incident was your doing?’ – Lin Hong.
‘Of course not.’
Cheng Feng forced a smile, trying to act cheerful: “Let’s eat and drink…”
Underneath the table, a message was rapidly typed out: ‘I’ve specifically checked, the Eye of the Ancient God is a mysterious organization, believed to be associated with the scientists who fled from the White Eagle. They possess some very magical techniques.’
‘This time, my family can’t help me, I need your help!’
‘Rest assured, I will surely help you.’
Li Weiwei declared, “Come… let’s drink to our heart’s content!”
Su Lu quietly watched this scene unfold, finding it quite interesting.
