I Stack Attributes in the Apocalypse Chapter 236: Illness

Chapter 236: Illness

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Ming was reluctant to take risks voluntarily.

However, the current issue was no longer about taking risks voluntarily.

The Sky Monitoring Bureau had warned of a major disaster in the area near the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and it was highly likely that such a disaster would occur.

Lu Ming’s current residence was in the Southern Mountain, which was located in that area. This meant that even if Lu Ming stayed in the Southern Mountain, danger would actively seek him out.

Lu Ming’s usual approach to danger was to try his best to nip the danger in the bud!

In this context, Huo Sheng’s request became secondary.

However, deep down, Lu Ming was willing to lend a hand to his fellow tribesmen as long as it did not harm his own interests.

Moreover, leveling up his attributes was equally achievable in the Southern Mountain and the City Lord Manor of Archean City.

Now, Lu Ming was not picky about where to farm his attributes. It was fine as long as he had a house.

Roda returned to the main hall to continue discussing the issue of the impending disaster with Zhuang Zun and the others.

Meanwhile, under Roxin’s guidance, Lu Ming arrived at a guest room in the City Lord Manor.

A servant had brought over Flamestones and placed them around the room. After discussing the subsequent dietary arrangements with Roxin, Lu Ming sat on the futon, closed his eyes, and entered the Void s.p.a.ce.

On the other side, Velo prepared to return to the Southern Mountain to bring Zhang Chengcheng, Wei Lan, Fala, and the others over. Uncle Lu, on the other hand, headed to the headquarters of the Land G.o.d a.s.sociation with Huo Sheng.

Two hours later, the bell in the room rang, waking Lu Ming up.

Huo Sheng arrived with Quan Chao.

In the small garden outside the bedroom, Lu Ming saw Quan Chao again.

This member of the Flamestone Clan was dressed in a black outfit, with a black cloak draped over his shoulders. He looked much more spirited than when Lu Ming had last seen him in the ruin.

Seeing Lu Ming, Quan Chao greeted him respectfully, “Mr. Lu.”

He made a formal gesture of respect when facing Lu Ming.

Lu Ming did not know where to start.

Lu Ming had never explicitly told Quan Chao to be his follower.

He was the one who used Lu Ming’s name to establish the Land G.o.d a.s.sociation.

To be honest, this was a bit of an affront to Lu Ming. However, the current situation had changed, and Lu Ming actually needed the Land G.o.d a.s.sociation to lend a hand.

This also made Lu Ming not know how to face Quan Chao.

Just as Lu Ming was hesitating, Quan Chao suddenly said, “Mr. Huo has told me about the gang leader. The purpose of my establishment of the Land G.o.d a.s.sociation is also to help Mr. Lu resolve his troubles.”

“Now, Mr. Lu needs me and the Land G.o.d a.s.sociation. Please give me a chance to repay Mr. Lu for sparing my life so that I can show my respect and loyalty to you.”

Needless to say, Quan Chao’s eloquence impressed Lu Ming…

Lu Ming did not want to take in any followers or establish an organization. Now that Quan Chao had already spoken up, Lu Ming decided to give him a chance.

“Then I’ll leave it to you.”

Quan Chao’s eyes lit up with joy.

He suddenly knelt on the ground and bowed his head saying, “Thank you for your trust, Mr. Lu!”

With that, he stood up and left.

Watching Quan Chao leave, Lu Ming could not help but scratch his head.

“Wow, a loyal follower at the Spirit Realm… Am 1 really that prestigious now?”

Lu Ming did not know that with his true strength, which was infinitely close to the Source Realm, he indeed held considerable prestige.

In the Source Realm, one would be a formidable figure no matter where he was. It was strange to find a Source Realm individual alone.Which Source Realm individual did not have a group of subordinates?

As for Quan Chao’s logic of attaching himself to Lu Ming, it was understandable.

A Source Realm individual without any subordinates was an incredibly valuable investment with shocking returns!

It did not matter even if there were no immediate returns.

Having a Source Realm individual as a backer was valuable in itself.

The principle that it was easier to do things with a backer was common everywhere.

After watching Quan Chao leave, Lu Ming returned to his room and continued to cultivate in seclusion.

In the outside world, when Quan Chao left the City Lord Manor and arrived on the street, the entire Land G.o.d a.s.sociation’s forces were mobilized!

Archean City had a permanent population of tens of thousands, and with the explorers pa.s.sing through (non-permanent residents), the total population was around a million.

The former Heaven Saber Gang and Divine Dao Gang had 10,000 and 8,000 gang members, respectively. However, after the Land G.o.d a.s.sociation completely dominated Archean City, their members.h.i.+p had already surpa.s.sed that of the Heaven Saber Gang, reaching 12,000.

Coupled with the fact that there was no compet.i.tion, this number continued to grow with each pa.s.sing day and hour!

As the actual ruler of Archean City, the Land G.o.d a.s.sociation wielded tremendous power.

Under Quan Chao’s orders, the entire Archean City sprang into action!

Around eight o’clock that night.

One of the rooms in the Drunken Flower Pavilion was violently kicked open, shocking Duncan, who was in the middle of something with a girl.

He turned to face the intruder, but when he saw his appearance, he immediately calmed down..

“I have a question for you…”

Quan Chao sat on the chair with a commanding presence, and began to speak slowly, word by word.

“Tonight, at around the time of changing s.h.i.+fts, did you see people with a pale and sickly complexion?”

Although he had taken Soro’s money, Duncan definitely did not dare to lie in front of the deputy leader of the Land G.o.d a.s.sociation.

“I saw them. It was Soro and his group.”

“Good.” Quan Chao nodded gently and said, “You can continue.” Then, he stood up and left.

Only Duncan, who was scared out of his wits, was left in the room feeling depressed.

After locking onto the location, the rest was easy to deal with.

In just ten minutes, the residence of the Soro Exploration Team was surrounded by the elites of the Land G.o.d a.s.sociation.

The leader was Quan Chao, who wanted to perform well in front of Lu Ming.

A loud “bang” rang out.

The heavy door was kicked open by Quan Chao’s subordinates, and members of the Land G.o.d a.s.sociation poured into the house.

The residence was a large quadrangle courtyard house. Standing in front of the door, Quan Chao looked at the surrounding houses with a sharp gaze. Soon, before Quan Chao could make a move, voices sounded from the central room.

That was the sound of a door opening, accompanied by intense screams coming from inside the room when the door was opened.

Furrowing his brow slightly, Quan Chao looked toward the doorway and saw three people, Soro, Feng Wu, and the Demon Man, coming out of the room one after another.

“Who are you…”

The pale Soro had just said three words when he was interrupted by Quan

Chao. “Land G.o.d a.s.sociation, I’m Quan Chao, the deputy leader of the Land G.o.d a.s.sociation.”

The spiritual pressure that spread out slightly and converged also proved Quan Chao’s ident.i.ty.

Seeing this, Soro coughed while saying, “Mr. Quan Chao, cough, Mr. Quan

Chao, you came here, cough, cough, cough, for…”

Before he could finish his sentence, another terrifying miserable cry echoed from the room behind Soro.

This made Quan Chao shrug slightly and pointed his chin toward something behind Soro, saying,

“I came for that.”

Facing a Spirit Realm expert, Soro had no choice but to comply or not comply with his demands.

Quan Chao could make Soro do as he pleased.

Observing Soro and the other two, Quan Chao furrowed his brow.

The three people in front of him were pale and coughing continuously, as if they were seriously ill – a rare sight, as the bodies of Spirit Realm experts were almost impervious to illness.

What caught Quan Chao’s attention even more was the grayish film that covered their eyes, like a membrane.

This caused their eyes to be turbid and their mental states were very poor.

“Are you guys sick?” Quan Chao asked, and then waved his hand and quietly retreated a few steps with his subordinates.

Soro smiled bitterly, “Maybe… I’m not sure about the exact situation, but my lord, our team’s current state is indeed not very good…”

“What did you encounter?” Quan Chao had just asked this when he suddenly waved his hand. “You can tell me about it later, so we don’t have to repeat it.”

He turned to look at his deputy and said, “Go and call those Skywalkers over.”

Skywalkers were the experts in dealing with such matters.

Seeing that Soro seemed to be seriously ill and was not far from death, Quan Chao had no intention to approach these guys and invite trouble upon himself..
