Zongman: The wrong person on the ground, double Shenwei at the beginning

"I'm sorry, given the political situation in our country H... I can only say that I will do my best to mediate for you."

Rhodes had already planned to harvest the wish points, and Liu Zhikang's arrival perfectly filled the final gap.

"I need you to do everything in your power, using all the resources and state apparatus, to make a name for me."

If there's one scenario where the vast majority of people in the world are most likely to have an A-level wish at the same time, it's definitely—the arrival of the end of the world!

However, in order to prevent some people from simply giving up hope, it is necessary to first create a well-known savior for them.

Even in the most critical moments, everyone will be willing to believe that the savior can protect them!

If successful, even if only tens of thousands of people around the world have a strong desire for Rhodes, it will still be a huge harvest!

Rhodes' true thoughts were hard to articulate, and Liu Zhikang and Gao Jianli were both dumbfounded when they heard his request.

Before they could even ask any questions, Rhodes continued.

"A month from now, I will first eliminate all the monsters on Jeju Island."

"However, I won't take action directly. I need you to create momentum for me beforehand, to make it seem as if many people want me to make a move."

He looked at Liu Zhikang.

"The country can take advantage of this opportunity to gain benefits from Country H. I don't care about this little thing."

Gao Jianli's lips twitched slightly.

Hey, hey, hey, I'm still here!

Liu Zhikang smacked his lips.

"Your request is a bit... bizarre. But since I've promised you, I will definitely do it."

He then patted Rod's shoulder heavily, his tone firm.

"And don't worry, I will absolutely not let those people swallow what you fought so hard for. Anyone who dares to reach out, I'll chop them down!"

Rod shrugged casually.

Aside from the power of those guys, he needs very little else in this world.

Liu Zhikang seemed to have a vague idea of ​​Rhodes's plan.

"You're thinking of... using the Jeju Island incident to generate buzz for the R Country teleportation portal three months from now, so that more people will want you to make your move?"

Rhodes smiled.

Talking to smart people is effortless.

"Okay, leave it to me."

Liu Zhikang patted his chest and grinned.

"Although I don't know the reason, I might have been a little hesitant before."

"You almost beat me to a pulp just now. Since you're treating this so cautiously, even if I don't believe you, I can only plan for the worst."

Although Rhodes was not born in Z country in this world, Liu Zhikang's way of doing things did make him like him a lot more.

Rod's gaze then turned to Gao Jianli.

"I need to assemble a special international rescue team. I will invite people I have my eye on from other guilds. For now, I will start with country H."

A bitter smile welled up in Gao Jianli's heart.

This requirement sounds much simpler than the one for Liu Zhikang... but poaching someone else's talent is just too hateful!

"May I ask, what is this group used for...?" he asked, forcing himself to speak.

"To prepare for major global crises in the future."

Rhodes' voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable power.

"I will have my companions take them to the designated location to carry out the rescue."

This is also why Rod insisted on keeping Li Xiaoxi.

Not all prayers can be resolved through pure force.

Li Xiaoxi is the most suitable healing person he can currently find in the world.

Although it's only Rank B, its ability is somewhat low.

However, doesn't the United States have someone who can enhance hunters' abilities?

I can go there sometime, copy it, and then come back to enhance it for her.

Upon hearing this, Gao Jianli let out a helpless sigh.

"How can I refuse with something like that..."

He smiled wryly: "Ms. Li Xiaoxi is a free agent. If you have her consent, I can approve it directly. So, do you have any other candidates in mind?"

Rod's gaze swept past the crowd and landed on Che Huiyi, who was standing not far away, secretly moved by his righteous speech.

"The new team needs a sufficiently powerful S-rank hunter to lead it."

"Eh?"

Che Huiyi was startled, blinked her beautiful eyes blankly, and pointed to herself.

"Me...me?!"

Choi Jung-in's lips twitched violently.

I knew it... I knew it would turn out like this!

Although he had long expected this moment, being poached in front of him still made him feel so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe!

Che Huiyi was still somewhat conflicted and at a loss, but Cui Zhongyin keenly noticed that her heart had already wavered!

He steeled himself and spoke loudly, as if to cut off her last bit of hesitation.

"Hunter Che Huiyi! In my capacity as president of the Hunter Guild, I hereby announce—you are expelled!"

"Huh?! Huh?!"

-

After returning to Seoul, the group exchanged contact information and then went their separate ways.

Che Huiyi and Li Xiaoxi were temporarily kept behind by Luo De.

Rod first looked at Li Xiaoxi, who seemed a little uneasy.

"Although we spent very little time together, I could see your kind nature. That's why I kept you here."

This girl... would actually get along very well with the girls in the Astrea Familia.

They all possessed almost pure hearts, which was one of the reasons why Rhodes would take special care of her.

"But if you feel uncomfortable, I won't force you."

Li Xiaoxi bit her lip, hesitating for a moment.

Fear and hesitation flashed in those clear blue eyes, but in the end, they turned into courage.

She raised her head and looked at Rhodes with unwavering eyes.

"I...I know the world is about to face a huge crisis! Although I'm...although I'm cowardly, I know that someone has to step forward!"

"I...I want to stand with you and with everyone!"

Rhodes smiled with satisfaction.

He turned his head and looked at Che Huiyi on the other side.

Che Huiyi slightly averted her gaze, adjusted her baseball cap, and spoke softly.

"It doesn't matter where I work... However, let me state upfront that I'm not good at management..."

Rod chuckled and said matter-of-factly.

"It's okay, management matters can be handled by professionals. It's just that you'll need to be in charge of the interviews."

"Hmm...do you have any requests?"

"A girl who is qualified enough and particularly good at a certain aspect."

Rod paused.

"You first screen out the unqualified ones. After that, I will personally interview them and explain the job duties and benefits."

Che Huiyi blinked, her expression becoming somewhat subtle.

"Could it be... that the company you want to build is entirely comprised of girls?"

Luo De met Che Huiyi's suspicious gaze frankly.

"This has to do with my abilities. Once we get to know each other better, you'll understand why."

"All I can say right now is that I will not force anyone to join."

Che Huiyi hesitated for a moment.

She felt the reassuring and comfortable scent emanating from Rod, and finally nodded.

“Alright... I’m willing to believe you, Mr. Rhodes.”

"Just call me Rod."

"Rhodes...so, what should we call our new company?"

A name suddenly flashed through Rhodes' mind. A name that led the Valkyries to the battlefield.

"Let's call him Valkyrie."

Luo De handed over all the preliminary preparations to Che Huiyi, while Li Xiaoxi assisted her.

He, on the other hand, gracefully became a hands-off manager.

Back at the villa, Leyana and Noin seemed to feel a strong sense of urgency because of the "world crisis" that Rhodes had mentioned.

They decided to join forces tonight to defeat the Great Demon King and indulge themselves one last time.

Starting tomorrow, we'll officially set off to conquer the dungeon and hone our skills!

Rhodes was pleased with this outcome.

For them, this global crisis is the perfect opportunity to hone their skills and accomplish great things!

He doesn't need any ability points; he just needs to kill key targets.

The rest could be left to the girls to handle, while he could simply sit back and reap the rewards, harvesting souls.

Moreover, there will be a fantastic spectacle of DanMachi Monsters versus World Monsters...

Wow, I'm getting more and more excited!

The next day, the girls got up early.

Gao Jianli has already arranged for a secretary to be in charge of contacting them and fulfilling all their requests.

Because it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, they could only find a C-level teleportation portal.

Since it was only to maintain the status quo, they had no complaints.

To avoid causing unnecessary public opinion, Gao Jianli's secretary deliberately kept their true identities and ranks secret and arranged for two D-rank hunters to use as fake identities before stuffing them into this temporary team battle group.

The portal is located in the center of an unfinished construction site.

When the girls arrived at the scene, eight other people had already arrived.

"You're the replacements sent by the association, right?"

The leader was a burly man with a full beard.

When he saw that there were only two seemingly frail and ordinary girls, his eyes flashed, but he immediately put on a warm smile, took the initiative to greet them, and introduced the team members to them.

"Hello, my name is Huang Dongshi, and they are..."

Leyana, concealing her true strength, secretly observed the group of people.
