Virtue

Li Dongze hurried back to his desk and rubbed his hands together. In high spirits, he turned on his computer and typed up a message.

"Centurion Fu, I have something to report. I just received news that the Night Wanderer I recruited has successfully passed the trial mission and returned to reality. Yes, he has successfully cleared the She Ling Tunnel."

He clicked send.

In the system of the White Tiger Soldiers, subordinates were not allowed to call their superiors directly unless it was an urgent matter. Usually, they were reported by email and information.

Primordial Beginning clearing the She Ling Tunnel was a big deal, but not an urgent matter.

Ten seconds after the message was sent, Li Dongze's phone rang. The caller ID showed that it was Centurion Fu.

A direct call? Li Dongze immediately grabbed his phone and answered.

"Li Dongze, you have to be responsible for what you say."

The young man's cold voice came over the speaker, enunciating clearly.

"Centurion, I know it's surprising." Despite the warning, Li was extremely relaxed as he answered, "I just got off the phone with him."

"Do you have the strategy guide?" Fu Qingyang immediately asked.

"It will have to wait a little longer."

Centurion Fu was silent for a few seconds before his cold tone softened.

"I didn't have any expectations. To think I'd receive such a surprise. This person must have something extraordinary in him to be able to clear the She Ling Tunnel."

"Li Dongze, you've recruited a talent for the White Tiger Soldiers. I'll report this to the elders and record your contribution."

Oh God, this is simply wonderful… Li Dongze's smile widened. Then he thought of something and lowered his voice.

"Do I need to keep it a secret?"

The fact that he had recruited a Night Wanderer was no longer a secret among the captains of the Kangyang District. Even if he deliberately did not mention it later, it would be noticed over time.

He could not hide it for long.

Especially since the Five Elements Alliance and the Supreme Solitary Sect had signed an agreement that they would have priority in selecting the Night Wanderers that appeared in the country.

This agreement led to the Five Elements Alliance almost not having their own Night Wanderers. There were only a few of them.

Fu Qingyang sneered.

"Why hide it? The Supreme Solitary Sect has made it clear that they don't want this Night Wanderer. They can't change their words now."

"What you need to guard against is the Five Elements Alliance. I don't want that to happen again with the Hundred Flowers Association. We're going to win him over with virtue."

This was in line with Li Dongze's thoughts. He immediately asked humbly, "Centurion Fu, please enlighten me."

"Make him a proper member and increase his salary."

Huh? A pay raise?

Is this what virtue means?

"I don't like to buy people's loyalty with money, because benefits can gather but also divide. I prefer to win people over with virtue, but virtue takes time to show while money has an immediate effect."

Centurion Fu's tone was calm. "Get him to write a guide as soon as possible. I want to know the core information about the Mountain Temple. I'll also return the favor to the Supreme Solitary Sect."

Any S-rank Spirit Realm would definitely contain some valuable information that ordinary Spirit Realms could not compare to.

"Understood!"

Li Dongze ended the call.

What kind of virtue is this? But this is indeed the Fu family's style… Li Dongze shook his head.

Young Master Fu's family had gone overseas to develop during the turbulent era to avoid the flames of war. After a hundred years of management, they had grown into a huge capitalist power.

Later on, the Fu family accepted the invitation from the country and returned to develop with a large amount of wealth. They participated in economic construction.

Not only was the Fu family a huge asset, but they were also a Spirit Realm Walker family that had been passed down for generations. Every year, a certain number of Scouts would appear in this family.

It was a family force that could not be ignored among the White Tiger Soldiers.

At a young age, Centurion Fu was proficient in all kinds of dealings. He was jokingly called the Young Master of Money of the official organization's Four Young Masters.

At this moment, Li Dongze saw someone tag him in the "Spirit Realm Walker Management Group of the Kangyang District".

Green Vine: "@Li Dongze, Chief Li, how's your new Night Wanderer?"

Green Vine was a captain of the Hundred Flowers Association. If any other Wood Demon had asked this question, Li Dongze would have suspected that they had ulterior motives.

However, this female captain was gentle and kind. She was not a coquettish tramp who did not care about morals.

White Dragon said, "Wow, that's harsh. You know that it's impossible for anyone to clear the She Ling Tunnel, but you still want to provoke Chief Li?"

Before Li Dongze could speak, White Dragon, who had a grudge against Green Vine, jumped out to fight.

Big Muscle: "He must have died in the She Ling Tunnel. Yesterday, someone from the district I manage went missing in the She Ling Tunnel. That poor thing hasn't been found yet. He probably died in the Spirit Realm."

The straightforward Fire Master was still so annoying.

Except for the three captains, who were more active, no one else spoke. They seemed to have lost interest in the matter.

Guys, you'll be so jealous of me.

In the next second! Li Dongze casually sent a $200 red packet.

Green Vine said, "Thanks, boss."

White Dragon said, "Boss is generous."

Big Muscle said, "The boss is the best."

They instinctively snatched the red packets and thanked him. After going through this process, they suddenly reacted…

White Dragon said, "No way?"

Big Muscle: "What do you mean by this, Li Dongze? Make yourself clear."

Green Vine said, "Chief Li?"

Li Dongze said, "Thank you for your concern. My new Night Wanderer has successfully cleared the She Ling Tunnel."

There was silence in the group.

Yuan Ting said, "Don't be ridiculous, Li Dongze."

The Night Wanderer, who did not like to appear in the Five Elements Alliance's management group, was the first to appear.

Unlike the other captains, he couldn't turn a blind eye to information about his class, even if he was more likely to joke.

The other captains still said nothing, waiting silently for Li Dongze to reply.

At this moment, Centurion Fu sent a message to the group:

"From today onwards, the first clear of the She Ling Tunnel belongs to our Five Elements Alliance. Later, I will upload the Spirit Realm guide to the information vault. As an S-rank Trial Spirit Realm, it can produce a Night Wanderer of higher quality than other Spirit Realms. I believe it will be of great help to the organization in nurturing the Night Wanderers."

Looking at this long paragraph, the captains were stunned.

Centurion Fu was a deacon, so his words carried a different weight than Li Dongze's. Since he said so, this matter must be true.

Had the She Ling Tunnel really been conquered? What kind of freak had Li Dongze recruited?

At this moment, the captains suddenly realized that the newcomer was no longer just someone with a "rare class." He himself might be the most worth investing in.

Big Muscle: "I want to meet up again."

You're trying to poach him, aren't you… Li Dongze's mouth twitched.

Floater said, "We're not going out to sea this month. Let's set up a party. Today."

Tang Guoqiang sent a red packet.

White Dragon: "The party is fine, but I don't think the Hundred Flowers Association can attend."

Green Vine said, "Ha-ha."

Fist King said, "I'm very curious about how that newcomer cleared the She Ling Tunnel. I'm afraid he's not an ordinary person. Li Dongze is lucky to have recruited a talent."

Seeing that the hearts of the people in the group chat were wavering, Centurion Fu sent another message. "I will use the She Ling Tunnel's strategy as a bargaining chip and fight for a number of Night Wanderers from the Supreme Solitary Sect. I will try my best to assign a Night Wanderer to each of your teams within five years."

Green Vine said, "Thank you, Centurion Fu."

Big Muscle: "Holy shit, that's a good thing."

The atmosphere in the group became lively.

The centurion's move was brilliant. With this promise… Li Dongze exhaled.

Then, the captains enthusiastically discussed the long-term plan to nurture and assign Night Wanderers, as well as secretly asking Li Dongze who the genius was.

Was it a male or female, and what was his age?

Li Dongze refused to say a thing.

While the captains were discussing happily, Yuan Ting of the Supreme Solitary Sect was in a completely different mood.

He stared blankly at Centurion Fu's message. After reading it several times, he finally digested this major event.

The She Ling Tunnel, which even the Supreme Solitary Sect was helpless against, had actually been conquered?

How did the novice do it?

As a Night Wanderer Spirit Realm expert, he was more eager to know the truth than the other captains. He felt terrible.

However, now was not the time to dwell on the truth. He had to report this to the organization.

Shouldn't such an outstanding Night Wanderer join the Supreme Solitary Sect?

Elder Sun was muddle-headed. How could he make such a random promise and cause the Supreme Solitary Sect to lose this talent for nothing?! Yuan Ting felt a little resentful towards that elder.

....

Zhang Yuanqing took a taxi to the bureau. He walked around to the back of the building with ease and entered like an elite of society.

When he reached the second floor, he immediately saw the mixed-blood lady sitting on the sofa drinking tea. She had long legs like a supermodel. She was wearing a shirt, a skirt, black stockings, and high heels.

Her waist was slender and her chest was full. Her makeup was exquisite and her hairstyle was fashionable. If the goddess of the workplace needed a standard image, Zhang Yuanqing felt that it was her.

Fortunately, his aunt had already trained his aesthetic threshold to an extremely high level. He greeted her without changing his expression.

"Sister Guan Ya."

Guan Ya put down her teacup and stood up to welcome him. She smiled and said, "Tsk tsk, I thought that you were a simple college student. I didn't expect you to be so incredible. Congratulations on becoming a Night Wanderer. I'll reward you with a hug."

She opened her arms and showed how broad her chest was.

Zhang Yuanqing, who had already figured out the other party's personality, did not fall for it. He sneered and said, "Demoness, how dare you try to suffocate me!"

If it had been any other girl, Zhang Yuanqing would definitely not have said such a thing. However, Guan Ya was an old pervert. This was the right way to interact with her.

Guan Ya was taken aback. She giggled and said: "Let's go. The chief wants to see you."

She had gone a few steps when she suddenly turned back and smiled faintly.

"You must have gained a lot in the Spirit Realm. No, you don't have to tell me. Hiding your strength and methods is a necessary quality for every Spirit Realm Walker."

I wasn't going to tell you… Zhang Yuanqing was stunned for a moment before he realized what she meant.

She wants me to keep my secret properly and not reveal all my cards.

Following Guan Ya, Zhang Yuanqing entered the luxurious office again and saw Li Dongze lying comfortably on the armchair, a cigar in his hand.

"Do you know what worries me most right now?"

Li Dongze studied Zhang Yuanqing as he got up and walked to the guest sofa.

"What?" Zhang Yuanqing asked, playing along.

"I'm most worried about you getting kidnapped on the way here." Li Dongze opened the liquor cabinet and took out three glasses. "What drink do you want?"

"Coke!" Zhang Yuanqing answered.

"Guan Ya, get someone to buy it," Li Dongze immediately ordered.

Not bad, the rise in status is very obvious… Zhang Yuanqing followed Li Dongze to his seat. The latter took a sip of wine and went straight to the point.

"The younger generation will surpass us in time. You've done very well."

"I'll have to trouble you later to write a detailed guide. But first, I want to ask if you found anything unusual at the Mountain Temple?"

...
