Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 67 respectively

"Yang Wu!"

Captain Chu Tian looked at Yang Wu, his expression gradually becoming serious: "We have something to tell you!"

"Captain, what's the matter?" Yang Wu asked.

Chu Tian's expression was somewhat complicated as he said, "Yang Wu, our team has faced life and death many times in the wilderness. When you first joined the team a few months ago, your strength wasn't that great, and you were even a bit behind Xiao Qing. But unexpectedly, in just two months, your strength has surpassed mine."

Of course, although your strength has become exceptionally high, everyone in our team has also improved somewhat, so we can still help you deal with some Beast General-level monsters. Furthermore, I plan to consume Dragon Blood soon to break through to the level of a Primary War God, so we can adventure together for much longer!

But now, you can easily kill high-level lord-level monsters. That Vajra Ape Lord, although it had just broken through, had defenses that were among the best even among high-level lords, yet you still killed it in one move!

Yang Wu was taken aback.

"Your strength has far surpassed ours. It's no longer appropriate for us to venture into the wilderness together," Chu Tian said with a sigh. "Continuing like this is not good for either of us."

Actually, although Yang Wu was able to kill low-level lord-level monsters before, Chu Tian and the others were still very willing to hunt monsters with him.

Yang Wu killed monster lords, while they killed ordinary beast general-level monsters. This maximized their profits, and their income was much higher than simply hunting low-level lords.

Although Yang Wu was the one taking care of them, he also benefited from it.

However, Yang Wu's strength is now clearly more than that. He can easily kill high-level lord-class monsters. A high-level lord-class monster can cost hundreds of billions. Yang Wu has no need to care about those ordinary beast general-class monsters anymore.

However, it would be too dangerous for everyone to follow Yang Wu in dealing with high-ranking lords.

Therefore, everyone naturally did not want to delay Yang Wu any longer.

"Yang Wu!" Zhou Zheng also spoke up, "We all feel the same way. If you're hunting down low-level lords for our sake, we wouldn't feel good about it either. But dealing with high-level lords is just too dangerous for us!"

Yang Wu nodded slowly.

He understood this as well. His current strength was far behind that of Chu Tian and the others, and it was time for him to part ways with the Phantom Squad.

"Yang Wu!" Lu Qing rarely spoke up, saying, "Actually, we've been hunting monsters so frantically these past few days, at such a fast pace, that I'm starting to feel overwhelmed. But you, clearly, are still handling it with ease. It's really not appropriate for us to continue staying in the same team!"

Too fast-paced?

Yang Wu frowned slightly.

Yes, a typical martial arts team, even the Phantom Team from before, would only venture into the wilderness seven or eight times a year. But under my leadership, the Phantom Team has already entered the wilderness three times in the past month, basically hunting monsters like crazy every day.

Humans are not machines. Such high-intensity combat every day is a huge burden even for Zhou Zheng and others.

Yang Wu finally realized that, in every respect, he was no longer suitable to stay with the Phantom Squad.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the private room became somewhat silent, and everyone stopped talking and looked at Yang Wu.

After a long silence, Yang Wu finally spoke, "That's good! Everyone remembers my contact number. Just call me anytime if you need anything, don't be shy! You know, we were once brothers in arms in a small team!"

Everyone nodded solemnly.

Zhou Zheng still vividly remembered the scene when Yang Wu joined the team. His feelings were complicated at this moment. He forced a laugh and said, "Yang Wu, what are your plans for the future? Will you continue this crazy monster hunting?"

Everyone turned to look at Yang Wu.

"Yes!" Yang Wu nodded and said with a smile, "My current physical abilities are only at the intermediate level of a War God. I'm still a long way from the peak of an advanced War God, so I plan to earn money to buy dragon blood and use it to improve!"

"This..." Zhou Zheng couldn't help but exclaim in admiration after hearing Yang Wu's words, "You're ruthless!"

Dragon blood is the most expensive treasure in the world for enhancing physical attributes, and many martial artists may never be able to afford a single dose in their entire lives. Even those who can afford it mostly use it when breaking through to a higher level.

Unlike Yang Wu, who actually used dragon blood as a regular cultivation resource, such cultivation conditions are probably only available to the world's number one powerhouse, Hong, and the second strongest powerhouse, Thor.

But that makes sense. At Yang Wu's current earning speed, he could easily buy a portion of Dragon Blood every month. Higher strength means faster earning. If this virtuous cycle continues, Yang Wu could probably reach the peak of a high-level War God in less than a year.

"Enough about me!" Yang Wu waved his hand and asked with a smile, "What are everyone's plans? When are Captain and Sister Qing planning to get married?"

Upon hearing Yang Wu's words, everyone's faces lit up with smiles.

"We're not planning to go to the wilderness area again before the New Year!" Chu Tian said with a smile. "Besides, thanks to you, Yang Wu, I got a good share of the money this time. Combined with what I had saved up before, it's enough to buy a portion of dragon blood!"

"Once I use the Dragon Blood to break through and become a War God-level martial artist, I'll marry Xiao Qing!"

"Then I'll congratulate the captain in advance!" Yang Wu said with a smile, "I'll definitely give you a big red envelope later!"

With Chu Tian's current strength, once his physical attributes break through to the God of War level, he will definitely be able to join the God of War Palace.

"Captain!" Zheng Tao, who had been unusually quiet today, finally spoke up, "I plan to go to Kyoto Base City with Wang Zhi to investigate the matter of the bounty being placed on him!"

Wang Zhi nodded in agreement; this was something he and Zheng Tao had discussed the previous night.

"I'll go with you!" Zhou Zheng said quickly.

Although no one said it aloud, everyone had their own guesses about the bounty on Wang Zhi's head. The members of the Phantom Squad had known each other for years; how could they possibly stand idly by and let Wang Zhi and his companion go alone?

"Brother Zhou!" Wang Zhi said, "Your daughter Xiaoqi is taking the college entrance exam next year, so stay home and spend some quality time with her! Brother Zheng and I are only going to Kyoto Base City for investigation purposes; having more people won't make a difference. If you need any help, I'll definitely let you know!"

"Yes, Brother Zhou! This matter definitely needs to be investigated discreetly. Having too many people involved won't be of much use. You should stay home and spend some time with your family!"

Zheng Tao echoed this sentiment.

"It seems everyone already has their own plans, so I won't say anything more!" Yang Wu forced a smile, raised his glass, and said, "Come on, everyone, let's drink to this! May all your wishes come true!"

After the Phantom Squad members finished their drinks, Yang Wu continued, "In that case, let's divide all our spoils equally!"

After saying that, Yang Wu took out his phone and transferred some money to the others.

"Don't refuse!" Yang Wu quickly interrupted them as they were about to speak. "With my abilities, this amount of money is really nothing to me! Captain, Sister Qing, since you're planning to get married, you should save even more money. Brother Zhou, Brother Zheng, Brother Wang, you all have your own things to do, and you'll have plenty of expenses in the future!"

"Alright! We'll accept your kind offer, Yang Wu!" Zhou Zheng said, taking a deep breath, and solemnly added, "Yang Wu, you must be careful. Although hunting lord-level monsters is quite easy for you with your strength, attracting the pursuit of king-level monsters is no joke!"

"I know!" Yang Wu nodded.

Thank you to the reader, I'm not a newbie 88, for the 100-point reward.
