Stronger with More Jobs

Over a dozen Three-eyed Ghosts were climbing along the outer wall.

The trail of dripping slime gleamed with eerie phosphorescence under the moonlight. Looking past them, more Three-eyed Ghosts could be seen crawling out of the restroom window from the survey site.

"Are all these Life Ghosts coming for you?"

Fang Qingyu recalled the girl's words just now and turned to look at her.

The girl's forehead was beaded with sweat. She nodded slightly, "My drought energy is as attractive to malevolent spirits... like a Blood Pool to Ghouls..."

Fang Qingyu listened thoughtfully.

Finally, he asked a question.

"Are you a legitimate god or an alien god!?"

The girl was stunned, "I'm a human..."

Fang Qingyu drew the Dragon Sparrow Calamity Slash and struck downward with a Shocking Dome, slicing down the few Life Ghosts at the front, his voice carrying a hint of doubt.

"Candle Dragon is your elder sister, and you're human!?"

The girl seemed completely unaware of being the goddess, her voice so anxious it was about to cry.

"Gongsun Xuanyuan is my father. If I'm not human, then what am I!??"

"Uh..."

These words left Fang Qingyu momentarily speechless.

The Yellow Emperor is human, so it makes sense that his daughter is human too.

"Deal...!"

Fang Qingyu nodded in agreement, biting his lip at the girl's request a moment ago.

"But I have one more condition."

"You have to help me with the Candle Dragon...."

Before he could finish, as Fang Qingyu said the word "deal," the goddess's expression had already reverted to that of a terrified, introverted little girl.

She shivered while looking at the Three-eyed Ghosts downstairs.

This left Fang Qingyu with a headache, and he had no choice but to hold her and leap out of the window.

Holding the trembling girl tightly, the Dragon Sparrow Calamity Slash vibrated and buzzed in his palm.

The indigo electric threads from the blade's blood groove illuminated the twisted fangs of the Three-eyed Ghosts.

Fang Qingyu tapped the ground with his toes.

The lightning patterns instantly exploded, covering the entire lawn with a spider-web-like arc.

"Hold on tight!"

Fang Qingyu whispered a command, spinning and soaring into the air, enveloped by the Shocking Dome's sword intent as it cleaved through the night.

Five pouncing Three-eyed Ghosts were dismembered in the sword net.

The explosion of decayed flesh on the electric arcs sparked into phosphorescent flames, burning holes in the ground with scorched, acrid smoke.

Yet, more Three-eyed Ghosts continued to emerge from the restroom.

They crawled with reversed joints.

Fang Qingyu's pupils shone with silver and gold star swirls, and under the full support of the Qi Blood Technique and Observation Method, his muscle fibers emitted a taut bowstring's crisp sound.

Thunder Instant Cloud Trace carved Z-shaped afterimages among the corpse horde.

With each turn, azure-purple lightning marks scorched into the ground.

"Thunder Instant!!"

The blade dragged seven parallel electric scars as it sliced into the corpse tide, resembling a thunderous bird unfolding its tail feathers.

The severed umbilical cord-like nerve bundles twitched in mid-air.

The sputtering amniotic fluid vaporized into a stench before hitting the ground.

"Qingzi, there's more behind!!"

At the edge of the force field, Qin Hui, unable to lend a hand, could only help by reminding.

At this moment, Fang Qingyu had his back turned.

Upon hearing Qin Hui's words, almost reflexively, he reversed his grip and stabbed the Dragon Sparrow into the ground: "No mercy!!"

Liquid Thunder Liquid surged through the blade into the ground.

Lightning instantly burst across a 10-meter diameter.

The Three-eyed Ghosts that had almost closed in simultaneously shrieked, carbonizing into drifting black ash upon contact with the lightning.

However... this wasn't the end.

As Fang Qingyu stood up and looked toward the restroom.

He found more Three-eyed Ghosts.

He couldn't help but glance at the girl in his arms.

Good heavens...

This is a natural Life Ghost attracting machine!!??

Such a large group of Life Ghosts are rarely seen in the data.

From start to finish, at least twenty or thirty have already been killed.

Yet there are still more.

But this was exactly what Fang Qingyu wanted; he was worried about not having enough merit to exchange for Martial Techniques.

Now each Three-eyed Ghost in his eyes.

Wasn't a monster.

But a shiny 10 merit points.

"Need to call for support, Qingzi?"

Seeing the situation, Qin Hui, a bit anxious too, subconsciously asked.

Now, Fang Qingyu not only had to fight alone but also held a ticking time bomb in his arms.

"No!! I don't need any help!!"

"I can handle it!"

Hearing this, Fang Qingyu hurriedly refused.

Calling for support for these little Karami would only let others come and snatch the merit.

Thus Qin Hui witnessed what it means to slaughter Life Ghosts of the same tier as if they were stray dogs.

Until Fang Qingyu fought his way back into the building.

Blocking the restroom on the first floor and the restroom on the second floor, where the Life Ghosts appeared, until not a single Three-eyed Ghost showed up again.

This time, the Life Ghosts' elimination operation.

Was finally officially completed.

"Qingzi, you're seriously a bit overpowered..."

Walking out of the building with the already asleep little girl, Qin Hui, who witnessed the entire process, had his lips twitch slightly.

He had followed Qi Hao for a short while, seeing fewer battle scenes.

It wasn't until today, on my first independent assignment, that I fully witnessed Fang Qingyu's combat prowess.

Fang Qingyu smiled.

"Brother Qin can also do it someday."

Qin Hui chuckled, "Thanks for your kind words."

Then he glanced at the little girl and asked, "The people from the Divine Management Bureau are already outside the Force Field. What do you intend to do with this little girl?"

Originally, he thought Fang Qingyu was holding the girl just as a normal rescue, to hand her over to the Divine Management Bureau for testing.

But... having watched Fang Qingyu hold her for so long...

The attitude seemed a bit different from what he imagined.

"I want to adopt this girl."

Fang Qingyu answered truthfully.

Wanting to protect the girl, keeping her close is a basic requirement.

So there was nothing to hide.

"Then I'll arrange it..."

Qin Hui listened, his expression serious, and he reached out to crush his recorder.

However, Fang Qingyu stopped him just in time.

"Brother Qin, what's this about? Even if I want to adopt her, I have to first hand her over to the Divine Management Bureau to test her faith, whether it is of a true god or an alien god."

"You wouldn't think I'd make a mistake, would you?"

Fang Qingyu looked helpless.

Regarding the girl's claim, even if the title is correct, it's just one side of the story.

If the other party is an alien god.

And if they need to hold a feast ceremony, then what he said before would automatically become void.

"...You brat, you gave me a scare."

Qin Hui listened, somewhat stunned, and his expression immediately relaxed.

He thought Fang Qingyu had seen the girl as another orphan, and feeling sympathetic.

After all, some divine beliefs awaken from the bloodline.

Beyond people's control.

They stepped out of the Force Field.

The workers from the Divine Management Bureau had already arrived.

And arranged everyone from the orphanage, sending the old director for memory clearing.

"You guys help send half the bodies for Yun Jiaojiao to handle, I'll head back to the Divine Management Bureau first."

Sitting in the car.

Fang Qingyu placed the girl in the passenger seat and instructed Qin Hui and Qi Hao.

"Okay."

Qi Hao nodded, sweating profusely.

Just now, he had exerted quite a bit of effort to hold back those orphanage adults who discovered the lie.

The car slowly began moving.

On the way back to the Divine Management Bureau.

Fang Qingyu reviewed the scene of his encounter with the girl again.

Firstly, titles don't lie; since she claimed to be human, the Divine Management Bureau shouldn't detect anything.

Secondly, she's being chased by the Life Ghost, which is advantageous. As long as she stays with him, Life Ghosts will keep coming. The only concern is whether their strength exceeds control.

Thirdly, she is familiar with the Candle Dragon, and he might have a chance to realize his far-fetched idea, to reverse Candle Dragon's identity, and even possibly change Candle Dragon's profession.

After all, if their relationship is really that good, Candle Dragon, knowing he's protecting her sister.

Would surely express something.

In summary.

Though meeting the girl was quite unexpected.

Fang Qingyu agreed rather hastily.

But looking at it now, for someone who hopes to meet Life Ghosts, it's not a bad situation.

So he can keep her around for now.

We'll see the next time the girl reappears.

We'll look then.

...

Divine Management Bureau.

58th floor.

The little girl lay on the bed, undergoing divine testing.

Fang Qingyu stood by the transparent window, looking at Duan Ling.

"If it's a true god, how are such orphans usually handled?"

Duan Ling answered quite proficiently.

"Well, if she's willing to join the Divine Management Bureau, she'll start schooling and training, just like Tong Ran from the last special training class."

"If she's unwilling, the Divine Management Bureau has other means."

Fang Qingyu listened and nodded, "What if I want to adopt her?"

"Adopt?"

Duan Ling listened, looking puzzled.

A 19-year-old boy, adopting a seven or eight-year-old girl?

But seeing Fang Qingyu's serious expression, Duan Ling didn't joke further and thought for a bit.

"That's not impossible, wait for the test results. If the girl is willing, I'll help arrange it for you."

After all, this girl was brought back by Fang Qingyu.

If she's a true god, and the Divine Management Bureau wants to handle it, they'd have to consult Fang Qingyu's opinion.

This is one of the hidden privileges for meritorious personnel of Candlelight.

Soon.

Half an hour later.

Staff came out with the report.

All five personnel specialized in testing stamped it as a true god.

But it didn't specify which one.

Only marked uniformly.

"A follower of a certain Fire Element divine being."
