Chapter 393 People Who Poach Talents Will Suffer The Same Fate
Tian Du City.
The city wall.
The spirit bodies lit up the entire sky.
The big shots’ expression turned ugly, particularly when the spirit bodies said greetings to the president and loud sounds reverberated throughout the sky. Therefore... all of the spirit bodies were there for Lu Ming?!
Was this a joke?!
They were merely playing children’s games. Was it necessary to make it known to everyone?
Lu Ming was confused as well.
It was true.
But he quickly came to his senses. Back then he had told Li Haoran to review the spirit bodies and invite all the eligible spirit bodies for an interview...
Therefore...
Were all of them there for an interview?
Shush!
The surroundings were silent.
The big shots turned green from anger and in stark contrast, the spirit bodies were bursting with excitement.
After a long time...
The chief of operations said, “Why are they here?”
“For an interview,” Lu Ming said honestly.
The chief cast a deep gaze at Lu Ming and he looked into the distance at all of them whose eyes were full of anticipation. He had a terrible headache.
“What do we do now?”
The chief sighed.
It was impossible to let them in!
It was very risky to allow such a large number of spirit bodies to enter Tian Du City in one go!
Did anyone have any idea what it meant to have several thousands of five-stars and six-stars?
Moreover, they were spirit bodies!
Spirit bodies were different from human beings. They could hide easily. Therefore, if anyone harbored evil intentions, it would be trouble! These spirit bodies posed a serious threat to them!
Therefore..
They had to drive them away!
“Is this the reason why there was a beasts tide in Qing Ming City?”
One big shot asked.
“Of course not! Certainly not! How is that possible?!”
Lu Ming hurried to deny.
The big shots cast a meaningful glance at Lu Ming.
The implied meaning was obvious.
This guy...
He was a troublemaker!
Although Lu Ming was quite popular in Tian Du City these days, it was still limited to a small circle. However, right now all the big shots knew who he was.
“Have you ever considered this problem?”
The chief asked in an unhappy tone.
“I thought that there would only be a few of them.”
Lu Ming was being very well-behaved now.
“Nonsense!”
The chief’s expression was grave. “DId you think that if there were only a few of them, it would be alright to let them enter? Do you know the consequences?! Do you know what a spirit body is?! If a five-star and above spirit body charges about in the city, it will cause a huge disaster, resulting in countless deaths!
“Who will bear the consequences?!”
He was really angry.
Kids nowadays did things without thinking about the consequences!
“I’m sorry!”
Lu Ming apologized sincerely.
Since they told the spirit bodies to come, they would naturally be able to control them.
For example...
The few spirit bodies who had come previously.
Xiao-Xiaojian would lead the way and personally bring them to the Sword Card Master Association. Nobody dared to mess around!
However...
The big shots were in a bad mood. Lu Ming felt that it was best not to argue with them, especially when he had just made a mistake...
“Humph!”
The chief snorted. “Let them go home.”
“Huh?”
Lu Ming’s heart jumped a beat.
Let them go home?!
He looked into the distance. Like the rabbit spirit who first came to look for him, all the spirit bodies were full of excitement and anticipation!
“Some spirit bodies are seriously injured,” Xiao-Xiaojian reminded him.
Among the spirit bodies, some of them were wounded.
Some of the spirit bodies might have gone through a lot to come here. They looked like a miserable sight. They seemed to be disheveled, however, there was a look of hope in their eyes.
Obviously...
Some of the spirit bodies escaped to come here...
Let them go home?
Where could they go back to?
“President.
“We can stabilize the situation,” Lu Ming said in a low voice.
“No!”
The chief of operations glared at him. Was he kidding? He was already worried that a few spirit bodies would cause trouble, notwithstanding a few thousand spirit bodies. No one could take this risk!
“Then can we conduct the interview here?”
Lu Ming suggested.
He felt that it was not a bad idea to have an interview at the city gate.
Well...
He could remove those that harbored evil intentions and the rest of them could join the Sword Card Master Association.
“No!”
The chief denied the suggestion directly.
This was not about the interview.
The spirit bodies had already caused panic! He was most worried that these spirit bodes would suddenly turn violent.
“We should not be trusting luck for everything to go well!
“Spirit bodies are not humans!
“Spirit bodies can bring greater harm than humans!”
The chief’s expression was grim. “What can you do to stabilize the situation? Can you control them?! Do you think that just by calling you as president, they will listen to you?”
“Uh...”
Lu Ming asked weakly. “Can I try?”
“How are you going to try?”
The chief laughed.
This child would hold out hope until faced with the grim reality!
Since the spirit bodies were here for an interview, they would greet him as president to show that they had a good attitude. Did he really think that he could subdue this group of powerful spirit bodies?!
These spirit bodies came from different species...
Shush!
Lu Ming suddenly took a step forward.
Everyone’s eyes were instinctively fixed on him.
Lu Ming went all the way to the edge of the wall. He looked at the spirit bodies who wore different expressions as well as their hopeful eyes and he took a deep breath.
Brother Cat...
Please help me.
Shush!
Lu Ming gently lifted his hand and he made a gesture with his hands.
Buzz—
A strange and mysterious aura suddenly appeared.
The pupils of the spirit bodies suddenly constricted. Their anticipation vanished, turning into fear. Then the next moment, they became fanatic!
Bang!
All of the spirit bodies crouched to the ground!
“Greetings to the president!”
Their voices surrounded them and it was more powerful than before.
Shush!
Everyone was silent.
Except for the powerful sound that rang by their ears...
This was...
The big shots’ countenance changed.
Especially the cultivators who researched spirit bodies and summoned beasts!
Given their capabilities, they could naturally tell that this was different from the courtesy and anticipation that the spirit bodies felt when they first met Lu Ming. The spirit bodies were kneeling down and bowing to him from the bottom of their hearts!
All because...
Lu Ming made a hand gesture?!
The big shots were not able to do it.
They looked toward Lu Ming who was in front. They suddenly felt that perhaps this child was too deep to be fathomable!
However...
What they did not know was that all the spirit bodies no longer saw Lu Ming, but instead saw the black cat who exuded a mysterious aura!
...
“Will this do now?”
Lu Ming looked toward the chief.
The chief was silent for a moment.
Although it was painful to be slapped in the face by Lu Ming...
Thoughts popped up in his mind.
As a chief who studied the art of war for twenty five years, he was good at assassinations, sandboxes, and battlefield planning. He had agile thinking that surpassed the average people! Spirit bodies could be seen as treasures. However, because of uncontrollable factors, all the cities had no choice but to drive them out...
If Lu Ming was able to stabilize them...
“Can you really stabilize them?”
“Yes!”
“What about in the future?”
“They will go into the Original Cards, becoming part of the Sword Card Master Association disciples! It is very safe!”
“What about before that?”
“Before the spirit bodies enter the Original Card, I will make them stay in the Sword Card Master Association, within my control. A spirit body is not allowed to go out alone!”
“Very good.”
The chief was satisfied.
What was the situation of the spirit bodies in Tian Du City?
There were people who captured them.
However, because of the geographical factors of Tian Du City, there were very few spirit bodies in the area, The spirit body business in Tian Du City was also very bleak!
In this case, it was better to ban it!
On the contrary.
With the Original Cards and the Sword Card Master Association, they could make use of the spirit bodies to aid in the development of Tian Du City.
The timing was just right.
The idiots from Sen Ling City had been eying the position of Tian Du City covetously...
Hahahaha.
They spent all their time promoting the city being environmentally friendly and that it was a natural city, tricking people into entering the city. This time, they would show them what it really meant to be a natural city!
Hence...
Half an hour later.
The chief consulted with the big shots and a new policy of Tian Du City was released!
—Policy: Natural City!
—From today onward, they would implement a spirit body protection policy! Tian Du City would ban the trafficking of spirit bodies and forbid the capture of all kinds of spirit bodies!
—All Original Cards (with spirit bodies binded to them) would have the same rights as cultivators!
“Well, Lu Ming.
“There are still a few spirit body shops in Tian Du City. Their losses...”
The chief suddenly brought this up.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Hey, I am not the one who suggested implementing this policy!
I merely want to stabilize the spirit bodies. I did not ask that you destroy their businesses! But when he thinks about it, this will be beneficial to the movements of the Original Cards...
“Our association will reimburse them.”
Lu Ming sighed.
“You are very generous.”
The chief patted Lu Ming on the shoulder.
Hence...
Next...
Several thousands of spirit bodies flashed with brilliance as they lined up neatly and entered Tian Du City under Brother Cat’s intimidating presence as well as the big shots’ supervision. They were still not reassured.
...
Somewhere.
A thin figure silently appeared.
He looked at the flashing spirit body trap in his hands and suddenly smiled.
As expected...
There were spirit bodies nearby!
He was very certain that no one would snatch the spirit bodies from him.
The rest of the people had been hiding or preparing for the battle! Especially during this chaos was the easiest time to make money!
This was disaster profiteering.
In the past.
In Qing Ming City.
Although it might have seemed dangerous, he still managed to make a large sum of money. As for now...
Buzz—
Buzz—
He followed the indicator and went in search of the spirit bodies.
True enough.
At the corner of the intersection, he saw an unguarded spirit body. It was a five-star spirit body! He was all excited. Haha, if he caught it...
However...
Just then, another spirit body appeared...
Oh?
There were more?
He trembled with excitement.
Two spirit bodies!
No, three of them!
There were so many spirit bodies!
He was very excited to see the appearance of more and more spirit bodies. He was about to take action when his expression froze. The number of spirit bodies...
Five!
Ten!
Twenty, thirty, fifty?
When he saw hundreds of spirit bodies, he was numb to them.
Was he going to catch them?
He did not dare to do anything now!
Afterward...
He saw that with the spirit bodies, there were many seven-star big shots. One, two, three... he saw many seven-star big shots that he would not usually see...
He was completely dumbfounded.
When the big shots approached, he kowtowed right on the spot.
“Dad!
“Please spare my life!”
The big shots were stunned momentarily.
Father’s Day was a few days ago...
Oh.
They noticed the spirit body trap in his hands and they understood what was going on. They passed him the latest news about the natural city policy released by the authorities and left.
Given their positions, they would not take issue with people like him.
Eh?
The figure stared at the long lineup of spirit bodies and his scalp tingled. He knew that there was no way he could make money from this business.
However...
He looked at the news in his hands and he was tempted.
Hence...
He switched on the communication device. “Hello, is this Sen Ling City? I have a piece of news to share with you... Haha, it is about the big battle in Tian Du City today...”
...
Right then...
Sword Card Master Association.
Li Haoran and the rest heard the commotion and hurried out. They were shocked by the sight in front of them.
At the entrance.
Lu Ming was directing groups of spirit bodies to enter the association. There were hundreds and thousands of them... The Sword Card Master Association that had been empty for ages was suddenly fully occupied...
“I will leave the rest to you.”
Lu Ming said to Xiao-Xiaojian.
“You can rest assured!”
Xiao-Xiaojian looked serious.
It had been ages since it had seen such a sight.
Hence...
He arranged for all the spirit bodies to go to the square in the Sword Card Master Association. Thousands of spirit bodies sat side by side like students during morning exercises.
“Right now...
“I will teach you the rules of the Sword Card Master Association.
“Remember!
“The first rule is that teacher-student romance is forbidden...”
Bam!
A light flashed across.
Xiao-Xiaojian was sent blasting away onto the wall.
“Who dares to hit me?!”
Xiao-Xiaojian was furious.
It was infuriated!
Apart from Brother Cat, no one dared to hit him!?
It turned around to check. A crystal clear Original Card suspended in front of it. There was a beautiful radiance about it. Oh, damn it. It was Xiao-Xiaobai...
“Hey, you are here.”
Xiao-Xiaojian coughed.
Xiao-Xiaobai gave it a deep stare before it communicated with the spirit bodies.
Buzz—
Buzz—
Lights shone.
The inner square of the Sword Card Master Association flashed with all kinds of lights like marquee lights.
...
Right then...
The spirit bodies were obedient and well-behaved.
The chief finally heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that Lu Ming was right.
Along the way to the association, they had already made up their mind that if things went awry, they would go for animal euthanasia... Oh, it should be spirit bodies euthanasia!
“Anyway...
“I will leave them to you.”
The chief patted Lu Ming on the shoulder.
“You can rest assured!”
Lu Ming was full of anticipation.
He knew that with these spirit bodies, there was no need to worry that there was no disciple!
There were thousands of spirit bodies!
It was sufficient!
The Sword Card Master Association would rise to power very soon!
Suddenly...
Lu Ming’s wristband vibrated, and he took a look and was stunned—Hello, Mr. Lu Ming, excuse me, are you interested in transferring the headquarters of your association to Sen Ling City? We are willing to provide a free association building for you and to assist in the development of the Sword Card Master Association!
Lu Ming was doubtful.
What did this mean?
Sen Ling City?
He had heard of this city.
This was also one of the key cities. He heard that it was making good developments these few years and was just as good as Tian Du City... Why would this city invite him to relocate there?
What was their objective?
“Yes?”
The chief stole a glance and was furious. “It is the idiots from Sen Ling City again! Damn it. All they know is to poach talents!”
“Poach talents?”
Lu Ming was surprised.
“Why else do you think they are called a green city?
“Their spy must have seen the news.
“I’m not surprised.
“Let me tell you...
“There isn’t a good person in Sen Ling City!”
The chief was full of contempt. “Their city is covered in green from head to toes. The city is green. The houses are green. The streets are green and the people are also green.
“Green!
“Everything is green!
“Previously we started a Talent Association in Tian Du City but it was poached by Sen Ling City, together with the president!
“All these idiots!
“People who poach talents will suffer the same fate!
“Sooner or later their whole family will be poached!
“Humph!”
?_?
Lu Ming was speechless.
The chief was getting personal in his comments. He stared at the sky, pretending not to have heard it. He was the chief. Was it alright to make such comments?
...
