He switched careers to become a loan shark, handed over his assets to the state, and then profited g

Looking at the dust on the dial pointer, everyone present felt a pang of regret.

"How could it be a handful of dust!"

"Yeah, isn't this a Void-level treasure chest? How come there's one here?"

"Godfather, don't be sad. There will be plenty of first-clears of dungeons in the future. I can just let you do all the openings!"

Wu Yan offered words of comfort.

Yan Xu also smiled and shook his head.

"Looks like you're having a run of bad luck!"

"But it's okay, try harder next time!"

After saying that, he reached out and patted Wu Bai on the shoulder.

However, Wu Bai was also quite puzzled by this.

This shouldn't be possible given my luck!

He once got seven of the featured characters in a single 10-pull in a gacha game, instantly maxing out his lifespan!

When it comes to raffles, I've never lost!

Could it be that I haven't participated in any raffles for too long and I've become rusty?

Just when Wu Bai was completely baffled...

The handful of dust had already appeared in front of him.

The specific attributes have also been officially revealed!

【Item Name: Embers of Longing (Return to Emptiness Grade) (Consumable)】

Item Level: LV1

[Item Description: A product of Fryes' longing for his wife.]

To see his lover again, Foyes broke the boundary between life and death, making a pact with Death to burn his longing to ashes.

[Item Effect: Upon use, it affects everyone. As long as there are still people in the world who miss you, it can bring the user back from the underworld intact!]

Looking at the item description for "Embers of Longing".

Wu Bai instantly straightened his back! He proudly raised his head!

Even if you draw a King, you're still a King! No arguments allowed!

"Come on, come on! Take a look!"

"I knew my luck couldn't be this bad!"

"Today I'll show you what a gacha god really is!"

Hearing Wu Bai say this...

The person who had just been disappointed quickly looked up again.

Yan Xu and Zhao Jianjun, in particular, observed the situation most carefully.

After seeing all the effects of the Embers of Longing, his eyes lit up with ecstasy!

As long as someone misses him, he can be brought back intact!

If Wu Bai were written into history books, everyone in the Great Xia Dynasty could learn from him.

Wouldn't that be the same as immortality?!

Thinking about this...

Yan Xu and Zhao Jianjun quickly spoke up.

"Wu Bai! You should use this!"

"Huh? For me? I'm so young, what am I supposed to use?"

"Besides, I have a normal job, I don't need to go to the battlefield."

Wu Bai smiled and shook his head.

But he had barely finished speaking.

Yan Xu and Zhao Jianjun's originally gentle expressions turned serious.

"Wu Bai, we're not joking with you."

"Your abilities are extremely important to the entire Great Xia Dynasty!"

"From the moment you acquired this ability, your life no longer belongs to just yourself, but to the entire nation!"

"If one day, some force wants to harm my Great Xia."

"I can die! Yan Xu can die! Even your parents can die!"

"But you, you must live!"

"I was thinking about how to take care of you and protect you from harm by other forces."

"But now, with [Embers of Longing], I will no longer have such concerns."

"As long as you are here, the flame of my Great Xia will remain!"

"Our Great Xia Dynasty, with its millions of acres of territory and hundreds of millions of soldiers and civilians, will forever cherish you in our hearts!"

"You! You are the backbone of my Great Xia!"

"You! You are the strongest support for my Great Xia!"

"I know this might be cruel to you."

"From now on, I can only watch helplessly as the people around me are born, grow old, get sick, and die, while I am even deprived of the ability to die."

"I can only live alone in this world."

"But Wu Bai, this world belongs to you young people, and it also belongs to us old bones, but ultimately it belongs to you."

"After we're gone, you'll be the only one who can uphold the backbone of the Great Xia!"

"For the sake of Great Xia, for the future of hundreds of millions of compatriots, I, Zhao Jianjun, and I, Yan Xu, beg you!"

"Wu Bai, the Great Xia needs you to protect it!"

Yan Xu and Zhao Jianjun were extremely agitated.

The Dragon Fang warriors behind them also realized the seriousness of the situation.

However, they did not speak, but stood there, staring at Wu Bai with fervor.

Looking at the two elderly people who were extremely serious, and the soldiers behind them.

Wu Bai was momentarily dazed.

Once upon a time, these soldiers fought and bled on the battlefield, all for the sake of creating a future for future generations.

Now, the soldiers are old, and he himself has become the future in their eyes.

For a moment, Wu Bai felt an immense weight on his shoulders.

but.

"Rest assured, my esteemed parents! Though I, Wu Bai, am but a humble man, a mayfly in the face of the nation's fate, I will certainly not fail in my trust!"

"Embers of Longing! Use!"

As soon as Wu Bai finished speaking.

The [Embers of Longing] in his hand turned into a wisp of dust and blew into Wu Bai's body.

His attribute panel was also veiled in a thin veil, like a dream!

A new skill has been added to the skill bar.

【Longing in Death (Passive): If someone still misses you after you die, you can choose to revive and teleport to that character!】

Wu Bai's resolute action.

It also brought tears to the eyes of the two centenarians.

They are really too old!

I have thought more than once about retiring and no longer interfering in national affairs.

But they were really scared!

They're afraid the Great Xia Dynasty will have no successors!

Many times they dreamed at night of the scene after their death, when the Great Xia was weak and would be devoured by the surrounding countries.

But nowadays...

As long as the Great Xia Dynasty exists, Wu Bai will exist!

With Wu Bai here, this kind of thing will never happen!

As for what to do if the Great Xia Dynasty of later generations forgets Wu Bai.

Oh.

If even heroes are forgotten, then such a Great Xia Dynasty is better off without!

Seeing Wu Bai's handsome appearance, Yan Xu and Zhao Jianjun nodded happily.

"Good boy! Good boy!"

"Listen up, everyone here! What happened here today is not to be told to anyone! Do you understand?!"

"I heard you!"

The warriors of Dragon Fang Court were filled with excitement.

They felt they had witnessed the rise of the Great Xia!

Seeing this, Yan Xu nodded in satisfaction.

He had complete trust in these soldiers.

It wasn't that he was arrogant.

The political vetting mechanism of Longyuan Pavilion is indeed extremely strict!

This is the center of power in the Great Xia Dynasty!

Anyone who can get in here.

The details of my father's eight generations back, my mother's eight generations back, my relatives and friends' eight generations back, my spouse's eight generations back, and my spouse's father, mother, relatives, and friends were all investigated in great detail!

No one with even the slightest stain can get in!

As for being bribed, that's pure fantasy.

The staff here work in four shifts a day, with each shift lasting six hours and a one-hour break in between.

The company provides housing, reimburses food and lodging expenses, offers free medical care, and its children attend schools within the Longyuange area. The monthly salary and bonuses are also shockingly generous.

All mobile communications are tested by specialists, so there is absolutely no chance of them being bribed.

Most importantly, everyone here has followed Yan Xu for over 20 years!

He dares to say he knows everything about everyone here!

Personality, habits, lifestyle—everything!

If that's the case, spies could still infiltrate the most important institutions of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Yan Xu didn't say anything more.

Let's just set this place on fire and burn it down! Then we'll have some peace and quiet!

And that is precisely why.

Only then would he reveal Wu Bai's profession to everyone.

After all, their department's main job is to conquer dungeons for the country and get the first-clear reward.

In the future, he will inevitably have to use Wu Bai's abilities.

This can't be hidden at all!

Just as Longyating was feeling happy and joyful that another guardian deity had appeared in the Great Xia Dynasty.

The door to the Dragon Tooth strategic instance assault room was pushed open.

Cao Yu came running in, panting, carrying two large bags of sunflower seeds.

"Old Yan! Old Zhao! Something's happened!"
