Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 37: The Light of Humanity

Just a few hours ago they said they weren't interested, but now they're seriously trying to recruit people.

Ling Xiao found it hard not to suspect that the two might be hiding something or having some "dirty" deal.

But despite his curiosity, he couldn't just go up and ask.

I didn’t rush to reply to [Ye Zhanqing].

Let's have a good chat with [Bayi Cleaver] first.

[Owl: "So energetic, have you finished dealing with the sealed artifact?"]

[Ba Yi Cleaver: "Hey! Brother Xiao, hehe! It was a close call, I almost got killed by that thing, but guess what? I'm still the best, and in the end I managed to subdue it with my bare hands!"]

Although Ling Xiao was used to people inputting their thoughts at will, he still thought that Dao Ge's accent was incredibly authentic!

He speculated that the time travelers in District 61035 must have come from the vicinity of the university town.

Logically speaking, even if there is a slight "accent", it should be Southwestern Mandarin.

Could it be that Brother Dao is a young man from the north?

[Bayi Cleaver] had no idea that the [Owl] opposite him was analyzing him word by word.

His comrades from all over the country not only frequently coordinated his clothing, but also polluted his vocabulary.

Qi Heng never considered his accent, nor could he have imagined how far his casual remark could veer Ling Xiao's train of thought.

At this moment, all he wanted to do was act as a "persuader" and bring this like-minded and powerful person into the guild to plan something big together!

The top three on the list are all together; who else can match their high-end combat power?!

Don't be fooled by the fact that the trial isn't over yet; it's too early and too absolute to draw conclusions.

Three years old look old.

Survivors who have the courage and ability to explore and upgrade now will definitely be among the top tier in the future, barring any unforeseen circumstances!

Especially this [owl]!

Their potential is no less than their own!

It's important to know that Qi Heng was the first survivor to complete the trial mission, and also the first explorer to kill the strange creature.

His awakened innate talent is the [Thunder Pool], which greatly enhances his combat power!

Moreover, the initial cap is [Immortal]!

The latter is not very useful at the moment.

However, under Qi Heng's control, the former delivered an outstanding performance in terms of damage output, making it a top-tier combat talent!

The nickname "August 1st Cleaver" has remained popular for so long, thanks in no small part to the fact that it's a highly sensitive topic.

That's why Qi Heng attaches great importance to [Xiao], who is closely following and even overtaken him for a period of time.

Currently, everyone's innate talents are of poor quality. They can certainly help, but not to the point of easily changing one's fate.

A person who can fight to the death with themselves must be a person of good character!

He's been arrogant since he was a child, and there aren't many people who truly respect him. Before, it was only Brother Xiao and his mother, but now there might be another one.

Moreover, the character 【枭】 is easy to pronounce.

It made Qi Heng feel instinctively close to it.

His personality and work style suit his tastes perfectly, making him the ideal choice for strengthening the guild!

After a few words of platitudes about "no need to pay back," neither of them were stingy or petty, and they got straight to the point.

[Xiao: "Is Suiyu Pavilion really that good? Brother Dao, don't let beauty cloud your judgment! Guilds are either not established at all, or if you really want to, you have to put in the effort. We're always on the edge of our seats, how can we have time to worry about trivial matters?"]

Ling Xiao's concerns were not unfounded.

As it stands now.

Level equals strength; strength allows for self-protection; and self-protection leads to better survival!

If I'm not lying, and I genuinely want to do it.

That would mean slowing down one's own development to donate resources and build a base for guild members to teleport and gather, which would then have meaning.

During this period, one also has to gamble on the chairman's character.

What if you run into a bastard who runs off with your money? Wouldn't that be cheating you and ruining your important business?

Of course, with Ling Xiao's current savings, even if he were to be scammed, it would only be a small amount of money.

Decisions should not be made hastily.

In this bizarre world, every word and action can lead to unpredictable consequences, so you must always keep your mind sharp.

[Ba Yi Kitchen Knife: "Brother Xiao, I understand what you're saying. The reason I joined is twofold: first, the Third Sister of the Ranking directly gave me a much-needed tool, for which I am grateful; second, after weighing the pros and cons, I felt that I really needed a 'home'."]

"At first, I was like you, planning to be a lone wolf. There's a trading area; I could just buy what I needed. But some things money just can't buy! Having strong support teammates makes a world of difference in survivability!"

"Finally, I've actually been in contact with several guilds that have been established and are already quite large. Putting aside personal feelings, I also think that this one's organizational structure and philosophy are among the most advanced."

"Um... actually, the main reason is that they directly transferred the guild leadership to me! Wow! That's so generous! That's why I immediately thought of you. Of course, it's okay if you don't want to join. As long as you want to come, I'll spend money to upgrade the guild and create a spot for you!"

Well-reasoned and supported by evidence.

Apart from privacy-related information, [Bayi Chaidao] basically explained everything to Ling Xiao.

Actually, by this point, he was pretty much tempted.

Lingxiao was neither enthusiastic nor opposed to the guild.

I don't want to establish it, nor do I really want to join, but I wouldn't say I have absolutely no idea.

The main principle is the doctrine of the mean.

Leave ample room for "excuses" to prevent making definitive statements that could backfire and lead to embarrassment later!

Anyway, it's not like you can only join a guild and never leave.

If you feel stressed and unhappy while staying, and want to pursue freedom, you can just quit.

The "survival game" has started anew.

The latest novel is first published here!

Ling Xiao decided that whatever he did, he should make sure his mind was clear and his will was in harmony.

If you time-travel and still have to humble yourself and suffer in silence, then what's the point of time-traveling?

Having made up his mind, Ling Xiao jokingly said in a relaxed tone, "Brother Dao, we're still in the top three on the leaderboard, joining a guild can't lower our status!"

"If I remember correctly, this Suiyu Pavilion is a place name from the TV series 'Empresses in the Palace.' It seems a bit out of place to have this title in the beginning of the channel, doesn't it?"

[Bayi Kitchen Knife: "Ah...haha! See, we're on the same page, aren't we!? I was just thinking of changing my name too! It'll add some flair when I'm out recruiting!"]

[Owl: "Let's get this straight! If you're going to do something as 'ice-cold barbecue' or something tough, then I guess I'll just have to play it alone!"]

[Ba Yi Cleaver: "Absolutely not! Absolutely impossible... Hey! Brother Xiao, you agree!?"]

[Owl: "If you come up with a good name, I'll go in and get a job."]

[August 1 Cleaver: "No problem! Just watch!"]

There's been no further news for now, and we don't know what other clever idea this silly guy, Chun, has come up with.

Ling Xiao smiled knowingly.

The TV series "Empresses in the Palace" brought him back to the most beautiful time of his past.

Although the orphanage was old and dilapidated back then, everyone lived together happily.

Entertainment was scarce back then. The happiest thing after dinner was to sit in front of that big CRT TV that required a satellite dish to watch programs, fighting over the remote control to find a good channel.

Only during these playful squabbles would Mama Blue smile and wait until everyone had calmed down before ending the commotion with her authority.

The show that I and other boys, including Hengzi, loved to watch the most was "Soldiers Sortie".

Because the story is incomprehensible to children but still keeps them engaged; the soldiers are cool, and their gunplay is cool too.

Moreover, there were very few women, and the one who appeared the most was killed by "Three Fools" with an elbow strike.

For girls, naturally it's "Empresses in the Palace," plus Lan's mother also likes it.

Therefore, Ling Xiao had an extremely deep impression of these two TV series, which is why he recognized the reason for "August 1st Kitchen Knife" and the hidden meaning of "Suiyuxuan" at a glance.

Memories will inevitably play out parts they don't want to recall.

Ling Xiao stroked his little finger, which was now only at the base, and sighed for no apparent reason.

If only that guy were in this area too...

I might be able to infiltrate their guild and then kill them...

[Friend] Shines with golden light.

Ling Xiao shook off his unrealistic fantasies, composed himself, and began to see what kind of titles Brother Dao had painstakingly come up with.

First up is a heavyweight:

"The light of humanity...?"
