Is there something wrong with playing Genshin Impact in the dungeon?

Ling Shu didn't want to be such a fool, but he also wouldn't look down on such a person.

Even so...

"Joining the Soma Familia...hehe~"

Really, no thanks.

Such filthy places will only taint even the original 'heroes' with a different hue.

and so……

"An indomitable blade is indeed something people pursue."

"But even the finest swords don't have anti-corrosion properties and are susceptible to damage from sulfuric acid."

Recalling the words of advice from Guberniu that changed his mind about poaching someone, Ling Shu breathed a sigh of relief. "Although the current situation is quite different from what I imagined our first meeting would be like."

"But now, there's no need to dwell on those trivial matters."

With these thoughts in mind, Ling Shu slowly walked towards the two thin figures.

At this moment, since he had no intention of deliberately concealing his aura, as soon as he approached...

"!"

Lily Luca was startled by the somewhat familiar face.

"Hey, long time no see."

Ling Shu took the initiative to greet her, "Lilyluka Erd, it's quite a coincidence that we meet again here."

"..."

The little girl had already torn off her disguise once before in front of Ling Shu.

Therefore, she has no intention of pretending to be well-behaved at the moment.

He looked at the other party with a wary expression and tentatively asked, "Lord Ling Shu, it is indeed quite a coincidence."

"Is there anything else you need from Lily?"

When he spoke, he emphasized the word "still".

But the proper etiquette was not lacking at all.

Lily Luca knew that she couldn't afford to offend the person in front of her.

Ever since her failed attempt to steal the 'ten mithril rings' that day, Lily Luca had been avoiding Ling Shu, fearing his retaliation.

Because she had once happened to see Ling Shu walking with a blonde girl.

Without a doubt, the latter is one of the "Twin Stars," the most dazzling supernova of our time.

Being able to get acquainted with that kind of person, even if you're just a gofer, would be a huge boost to your social standing.

However, the atmosphere between Ling Shu and the blonde girl at that time was clearly not like that.

therefore……

"I didn't actually contact you for no reason."

Under Lily Luca's extremely wary gaze, Ling Shu turned his head to look at the other person, "However, my clan is currently short-handed and is planning to persuade newcomers to join."

"It just so happens that we've discovered a talented individual with good potential."

The words had barely left his mouth...

"Ugh?"

The rabbit-like boy, completely oblivious to the situation, was somewhat stunned.

a long time……

"Are you... are you talking about me?"

There shouldn't be a fourth person around here.

Upon hearing Ling Shu's answer...

"..."

The rabbit boy was immediately very excited.

But then, as if he had thought of something, he struggled with his expression and bit his lower lip tightly.

"I'm sorry, I can't..."

"Fool."

Lily Luca asked anxiously, "Why are you refusing such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"

"Do you really want to stay in that awful place (the Soma Familia) any longer?"

She reacted so violently that she blurted out certain words that she considered 'dangerous' from her perspective without thinking.

It immediately attracted the attention of many passersby and adventurers in the vicinity.

Lily Luca quickly covered her mouth.

As for Bell...

“Miss Lily Luca, but didn’t you say before…”

Don't ask strangers for help; you'll drag them down with you.

The rabbit boy remembered this warning.

He clearly didn't want to implicate Ling Shu.

but……

That's why I said you're an idiot.

Coming to her senses, Lily Luca lowered her voice and whispered in the rabbit boy's ear, "This person in front of you knows the Twin Stars. Even if he's just using them as a front, no matter what, Chanis wouldn't dare to mess with him."

"Furthermore, his clan couldn't possibly be darker than the Soma clan... Do you understand?"

"!"

The unexpected information startled the boy.

When he looked at Ling Shu again, there was a different meaning in his eyes.

It was at this time...

"To be honest, after you disappointed me last time, I originally just wanted to recruit one member today."

Ling Shu looked directly at Lily Luca and said with a smile, "But judging from your words and actions just now... cough~ First of all, I have to tell you that adventurers have very keen senses. Even if they whisper, they can hear it clearly from this close."

"Uh~"

Lily Luca's expression froze.

"And then..."

Ling Shu's lips curled up slightly, as if he were grinning wickedly, "Some people are willing to continue suffering so as not to implicate the innocent."

"Although the other person is mired in the mire, he still hopes that others can reap 'goodness', and he is not a bad person by nature."

"Now, you have all passed my 'joining the group test'."

"How about it……"

The black-haired youth extended his right hand. "Want to join?"

Chapter 236 Within a single day, the number of members in Frigga's Familia tripled.

Ling Shu has always been very self-aware.

He knew that he was neither a charismatic prodigy nor the kind of arrogant genius whose domineering aura would command the respect of heroes from all directions.

and so……

"Kidnapping... cough, no."

“When it comes to ‘recruiting talent,’ we must take into account factors such as the individual’s past experience, current situation, personality traits, personal needs, future prospects, etc., and make thorough considerations in order to steadily increase the success rate.”

For example, right now...

The boy, named Bell Craney, came from a rural background and had little experience of the world.

Recently, he was first swindled out of his only few thousand Fali by a ruthless shopkeeper, and then he was targeted by the scum leader of the Soma Familia, almost... well, in terms of the terminology from his home planet Earth, it would be equivalent to being 'sold to a black coal mine to do hard labor'.

It can be said that, before experiencing those 'major events' in the future, this is the 'lowest point' in the young rabbit's life so far.

He is kind-hearted by nature and would never do something like stabbing someone in the back.

After all, he had just been thinking... that in order not to implicate innocent strangers, he could grit his teeth and continue to suffer.

Based on this premise...

Bear Grylls aspires to be a 'hero,' and his current 'personal need' is to get closer to the person he most admires.

To do this, he needs to receive 'divine favor' and become a formal adventurer.

And the future...

If possible, he would also like to become a 'hero'.

To save people from dire straits, to leave behind one's own legend, or perhaps...

"Having a harem is a man's romance!"

Well, this last sudden change in style is all thanks to his grandfather being a scoundrel.

In conclusion, although Ling Shu was unaware of certain 'key' aspects of the above matters, he only needed to find the right opportunity and extend the invitation in the appropriate manner...

"Is someone like me really capable?"

Inside the 'Central Plaza' in front of the Tower of Babel, the white rabbit boy looked at the black-haired youth in front of him with a nervous and apprehensive tone.

Seeing this...

"Stop being so wishy-washy. Whether you want to join or not is just a matter of a single sentence."

Ling Shu crossed his arms and said bluntly, "You need to understand that some details are only for members of my clan to know."
