106. Low-key scavengers
The leader of the men in gray took off his hood, revealing short black hair and a face as simple as a model worker. He stood at the edge of the barrier, looking at the starry squad of cultivators in the wilderness, and the terrifyingly powerful Fire Demon King in the distance.
The honest and steady face showed a gentle smile, like an old farmer looking at the crops in the field on the ridge of the field.
He just stood quietly, with hundreds of garrisons and militia groups behind him, as if they were not aware of his presence at all.
After a while, several more gray-clothed men quietly descended and came behind him.
"Scalper boss." That's what the men in gray called him.
"How's it going?" The leader of the gray-clad men, known as the scalper, asked.
"[Elemental Domain] 385 branches, [Mental Power Domain] 120 branches, [Mystic Domain] 11 branches......"
The scalper's honest face was not wavering, "The loss of District 53 is not as big as expected, but our harvest is beyond expectations." β
The gray-clothed man next to him was a little anxious, "But the strategic ability specified above has not been obtained, and now that Area 53 has launched a counteroffensive, there will be no large-scale casualties." The opportunity is running out. Originally, Huo Ning was the best choice, but ......"
The scalper stopped him, "If you miss it, you miss it, don't be obsessed, Huo Ning's identity is too important, and there will be no accidents." We keep a low profile. β
He looked at the unbeatable Fire Demon King in the distance, "What's more, now we have a better choice. β
"You mean? Han Qingfeng!! The gray-clothed people around him were all dumbfounded, and one of them had weak legs, almost didn't kneel on the ground, and swayed a few times before he stood firm.
You came up to get the most awesome man in District 53, and persuaded us to keep a low profile and not have obsessions?
"But, but, Han Qingfeng, he will hardly have an accident......"
The scalper smiled, "It's not Han Qingfeng, it's the person hiding behind him." β
"Most of the cultivators on the wall of the No. 3 Barrier are low-level [Elemental Domain], and the [Elemental Domain] has a characteristic, that is, from the effect of the ability they release, it is easy to judge their realm."
"I've observed for a long time that these low-level [Elemental Domain] cultivators sometimes release skills far beyond their own realm. And the rest of the time it was as weak as ever. β
He pointed to the Fire Demon King in the distance, "Just now, the Fire Demon King that Han Qingfeng conjured up underwent a significant enhancement. The strength that Han Qingfeng showed now far surpassed that of the sixth-order cultivators I had seen. According to the organization's intelligence, Han Qingfeng did not prepare any materials needed for the advancement of his abilities. So he's not advanced. β
"Combining these two points, I think that there is a person next to Han Qingfeng who has an extremely rare ability trait that can enhance the ability trait."
The scalper paused slightly, the sentence just now was a bit tongue-twisting, and he needed to slow down.
The gray-clad people around them were surprised and delighted, they had been doing this kind of work for many years, but they were the group of people who were most familiar with the characteristics of the ability. In their careers, they really haven't seen an ability trait that enhances the skills of others on a large scale and over a long period of time.
Undoubtedly, this ability trait is extremely strategically valuable, and when promoted to a high level, it can strengthen an entire army. Turning the tide of a war, the real enemy of 10,000 people.
From a certain point of view, Area 53 was able to smoothly turn into a counterattack without losing a single barrier in such a fierce insect tide. This practitioner, who is able to strengthen others on a large scale, plays a vital role.
"I've identified him now." The scalper smiled innocently, and a hint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes.
"What !?" The gray-clothed men were excited, like wolves smelling blood.
"Matthew has been to Barrier No. 3 twice." The scalper stretched out two fingers, "Come and find a person named Lu Xi, say that Director Han is looking for him." β
"So...... Lu Xi is the one with the enhanced ability? β
The scalper looks like he has everything under control, "He's just a faΓ§ade." β
Another young man who was admitted by Matthew Yuan is the real target. Ma Xiuyuan did it on purpose, they wanted to cover the true identity of this young man, deliberately said that they were here to find Lu Xi, and then used a mistake to treat the real target to Han Qingfeng's side. Strengthen Han Qingfeng. β
He sneered twice, "It's a pity that Ma Xiuyuan's acting skills are too poor, and I can see it at a glance." Think about it, since you recognized the wrong person, why didn't you send the young man back, but left him in the midst of a dangerous insect tide? β
"So he's the real target, someone with a rare enhancement-like trait!"
The gray-clothed people were impressed by the careful logic of the scalper boss, nodded one after another, and said in their hearts, is this the real strength of the top of the organization? By looking closely, you can spot rare ability traits and use logical reasoning to locate their owner.
But there is one thing they still haven't figured out, "Boss, so what is Lu Xi's identity?" β
The scalper sneered again, "Huh! He's just Han Qingfeng's illegitimate son......"
The man in gray was shocked again, what????!!!
Director Han, who has always shown his integrity and selflessness, and is alone, actually has an illegitimate child? Many of his opponents claimed that he had been wounded in some part of the battle......
This kind of gossip is obviously more appealing than the rare ability trait.
"What? What's going on? Say it, say it......"
The scalper glanced at his subordinates who were about to move, and he was also very proud of his keen observation ability. "I hypnotized two Lanhai University students."
Then he recounted Lu Xi's various comments and deeds at Lanhai University.
"You say that such a freshman with a very poor reputation and average ability, how can He De enter the strategic command?"
"There is only one possibility, there are big people who want to let their sons go in and gild. Combined with Han Qingfeng's performance in caring for Lu Xi many times at Lanhai University. β
"I'm sixty percent sure that Lu Xi is Han Qingfeng's illegitimate son."
"And what about the remaining forty percent?"
"The rest is to analyze Han Qingfeng's character. He was a fair man, but also a vain man. He did everything in his power to protect his reputation. But he was very fond of this illegitimate child, and did not hesitate to use his power to pave the way for him. β
"So his heart must be contradictory, on the one hand, he wants to give the best to Lu Xi, on the other hand, he has some guilt in his heart, and he does not approve of the way of using power for personal gain."
"So he wants to make an excuse for himself, he is not gilding Lu Xi, but using Lu Xi to cover the identity of a cultivator with strategic value."
"So Lu Xi and the target, the two of them entered the strategic command at the same time, and they were both assigned to work beside Huo Ning, earn qualifications, and be able to learn combat command. Doing so will bring a certain danger to Luxi. β
"But Han Qingfeng can comfort himself, the resources and honors that Lu Xi has obtained beyond his peers are not because of his favoritism, but by going deep into danger and covering the merits of strategic talents."
The scalper looked around, with a confident expression, but with a simple appearance, it felt like the joy of the crops in the field to be harvested.
He raised three fingers, "Analyzing Han Qingfeng's character and personality, I can understand the ambivalence of an old man like him, who wants to give everything to his son, but retains his conscience and integrity." Therefore, from this point of view, we are three percent sure. β
The scalper put away his two fingers, leaving only the little finger, "The last reason, we finally caused an accident and put it in to keep the corroder." It was Lu Xi who first discovered that the corroder blew himself up and saved Huo Ning. Such a keen sense of perception is consistent with the nature of his perception ability. β
"So his ability trait is the perception system, and he hasn't undergone a second awakening, so the cultivator with rare ability traits is not him."
"It's another young man, his name seems to be called, Ye Ze."
"I'm 100% sure!" The scalper clenched his fist and swung it hard.
Ye Ze, who was in the depths of the insect tide, suddenly shuddered, as if he was being targeted by a demon in the shadows, and the blazing flames of the Fire Demon King not far away failed to make him feel a little warm.
Ye Ze fell into deep thought, "Someone is trying to harm me again!" Is it Ye Xin or Ye Xiu? β
"Did they guess? Guess I'll be able to reap the accolades and rewards in this battle, and gain a lot of political capital? β
Ye Ze sneered, "I have already won the favor of Director Han and Commander Ma, and no one can stop me from taking charge of the Ye family." I am the one who can bring the Ye family to glory. β
β¦β¦
On the No. 3 barrier, a group of gray-clothed people have already admired the scalpers so much. They all believe that the scalper boss is both wise and brave, and there is still the possibility of catching up in force. But with this kind of meticulous thinking logic, powerful analytical reasoning, and unparalleled observation ability, it is impossible for them to reach one percent of the scalper boss in this life......
"Boss, what should we do next?"
"Gather the team, hide, and the Jackals and Night Stalkers lead the men to return the extracted abilities to the Order. The rest of the people, along with me, set up in ambush. β
"Boss, we're going to ...... Is it? A man in gray made a motion to wipe his neck.
The scalper had a serious expression, "Have you forgotten our code?" β
"We are scavengers, not killers. We have to keep a low profile, and we can't be like the crazy vultures who make everyone shout and fight. β
The man in gray bowed his head and even claimed yes.
The scalper's gaze was far-reaching, "We don't have blood on our hands, we're just scavengers, picking up abilities that are about to pass away with life." Death is the greatest waste of all, and we are preventing this from happening. β
He had a grim smile on his face, which looked even more weird and terrifying against the backdrop of his honest face.
"But if the value of the target is big enough, we can create surprises."
"There was no blood on his hands, it just happened to be dead."
"Don't rush, take your time and look for opportunities. In order to better protect strategic talents, Han Qingfeng will definitely not make a big fuss and will protect in secret. β
"Be patient and don't let ...... up"
