Mark Beast will follow the guidance of fate to pay his rent at Xingxuan, hoping to take advantage of the situation one last time.
Qin Song had just returned to the vicinity of the cave when he heard Erica's voice, which was trembling with sobs.
"Big guy! Big guy, where did you go? Don't abandon me... Waaaaah..."
Qin Song moved the boulder aside, and Erica flew into his arms like a swallow returning to its nest, raising her tear-streaked face, "I thought you didn't want me anymore."
Qin Song took out his oversized shirt and put it on her, then ruffled her hair. "Erica is so cute, how could I not want you?"
Erica then stopped crying and started laughing.
Qin Song exclaimed, "Is this the charm of Love Live! in the 2D world? So gentle and easy to seduce..."
“Mark has left the lighthouse. Let’s go back first.”
"Oh no, could it be that Feixue Mocheng and the others have been harmed by Charles?"
"Don't worry, they'll be fine."
After returning to the lighthouse, Qin Song hid Erica in a secret hideout.
News came from the Black Gang that Charles had not escaped the fate of being blinded.
A sense of sadness quickly spread through the lighthouse.
Dozens of people, both upper and lower class, died in this turmoil, and many more were injured and deemed beyond medical value by the life formula, and were to be sent on a long journey.
There was no grand departure ceremony; the crowd standing on the platform looked as if they had lost their parents.
"I hope they can really find the truth..." Ran Bing stood beside Qin Song, her expression somewhat sad.
Several familiar hunters were among the expedition team; they had fought together before. Little did they know that just one night apart, they would face a life-or-death separation.
As for Mo Chengfeixue and other key figures in the rebellion, they have been imprisoned in the Law and Education Bureau.
Qin Song said, "If they're lucky, they might not die."
Ran Bing's eyes lit up. "Could there really be humans on the ground?"
Qin Song nodded. "There are not only human settlements, but several."
Ran Bing suddenly realized, "No wonder you had the special forces install locators on them. You were planning to find the locations of those settlements?"
“That’s right. The population of the settlements on the ground is sparse, so they will definitely try to take in more people.”
"How did they evade the Devouring Beasts?"
"The Devouring Beasts lock onto humans through emotional fluctuations, while some ground forces conceal their own emotions to prevent the Devouring Beasts from seeing them."
Qin Song placed his palm on Ran Bing's forehead. "I'll teach you now."
Ran Bing had already obtained the attribute point blessing and the super soldier serum, making her one of the strongest among the hunters.
But after yesterday's battle with Xiang Qing, Qin Song began to plan how to improve the strength of his breeding partners.
He couldn't stay at the lighthouse forever. After blessing them, he would have some power to resist should they encounter other dangers.

Blessing Skill: Return to Origin

Qin Song nodded in satisfaction.
Previously, Ran Bing did not know how to pilot a heavy aircraft, but now she has directly upgraded her skill to an advanced level, greatly improving her self-protection ability.
"Wow! I feel like I've gotten so much stronger!" Ran Bing clenched her fist, which cracked loudly.
The combat techniques that were previously vague now appeared clearly in my mind.
In her eyes, the city defense soldiers patrolling below were full of flaws.
She felt that if she made a move, she could quickly take them down.
Just then, Qin Song heard Fanti's cold voice through his earpiece.
"Qin Song, the city lord requests your participation in the court meeting."
Qin Song gave a soft "hmm".
Ever since he beat up Vanti last time, this woman has been avoiding him. Before, he would personally visit her to invite her, but now he only invites her through an earpiece.
You really can't give a woman sweet treats, otherwise she won't know how to cherish them once she gets them.
When Qin Song arrived at the city lord's hall, he found that besides Vatican, there were only Charles, Sengge, and 4068.
Charles' left arm was bare, and his right eye was covered by an eyepatch. Although he only had one eye left, his gaze was even more intimidating.
"Chief of Staff Qin, I heard from Jingnan that you eliminated the Devouring Beasts on the ground last night, allowing this morning's expedition to proceed smoothly. You did a great job..."
Charles's voice was calm; he neither questioned Qin Song about why he hadn't captured Mark nor why Qin Song hadn't intervened to save him.
Chapter 73 Independent Arrangement
Qin Song nodded slightly without responding.
He could clearly sense that, after this ordeal, Xiao Huangmao's character had become even more profound.
This might be why some people praised him in his past life. From a treacherous villain, he gradually gained control of the Lighthouse through trickery, eventually receiving guidance from the Lord of Light and Shadow to pilot the Abyss and turn the tide. It's indeed quite captivating.
Charles looked at Seng.
Seng respectfully asked, "Lord of the city, all those rebellious hunters have been imprisoned. Should they be burned at the stake according to the law?"
A cold glint flashed in Charles's eyes.
However, things were different now, and he knew that killing the hunters would do no good for the lighthouse.
He looked at Qin Song and asked, "If the hunters are banned, can the special forces take over the ground collection missions?"
Qin Song shook his head. "The special forces team is too small. After decades of development, the Hunters have a well-established training system. I suggest we keep it."
"Besides, doesn't the city lord want to cooperate with Mark? If we kill them all, Mark will have no more ties and definitely won't agree."
Charles frowned slightly. "So what you mean is?"
"Find a reliable person to lead the Wilderness Hunters."
"Who do you think is suitable?"
Qin Song said calmly, "Hasn't a city lord already been chosen?"
The person next to him, 4068, lowered his head in shame.
His defection to Charles's command was undoubtedly a betrayal of the special forces.
Charles thought Qin Song was resentful, so he comforted him, "4068 is also a loyal follower of the Lord of Light and Shadow. Qin Song deserves a lot of credit for his promotion to the upper class."
"Alright then, from now on, as long as it doesn't disrupt the normal order of the lighthouse, Staff Officer Qin can arrange breeding tasks independently."
This clearly indicates an intention to make a deal.
Senger and 4068 were shocked. They hadn't expected the city lord to make such a condition. Wasn't this a violation of the three laws?
However, when they thought of Qin Song's strength, they could only suppress the strange feelings in their hearts. It turned out that when strength reached a certain level, it really could change the rules.
"Is the city lord's statement true?" Qin Song turned his gaze to Fanti, his meaning all too clear.
Fanti's expression changed slightly as she recalled the scene of Qin Song pinning her down on the bed and beating her. She glared angrily at Qin Song.
That damned lecher! I should have castrated that bastard last time.
Charles coughed lightly, "Well... Vatican has an important mission and can't breed for the time being."
Qin Song nodded indifferently, "Then Jingnan..."
Vatican became increasingly furious.
What? You think I, a dignified He Guangzhe, am inferior to that pretentious woman who's always putting on airs?
Charles's lips twitched.
Are you trying to seduce all the beauties of the Lighthouse?!
"If she has no objections, I have no objections either..."
Fearing that Qin Song would make even more outrageous demands, he gave Fanti a wink.
Vatican immediately said in a deep voice, "Lord City Lord, the time has come, the enthronement ceremony may begin."
Charles's expression turned serious, and he said calmly, "Let's begin."
The door slowly opened.
"Light gives birth to all beings! All beings follow the shadow!" A thunderous roar echoed.
Charles walked slowly to the gate, looked down at the thousands of clergy below, and a surge of pride welled up from the bottom of his heart.
From this day forward, this will be his empire.
He will lead the lighthouse back to the ground and revive human civilization!
Qin Song also looked down at the crowd, without excitement or agitation, but with pity in his eyes.
These are all brainwashed bastards; when disaster strikes, all they can do is pray for God's protection.
After the enthronement ceremony, Qin Song went to the research and development department.
Jessica rolled her eyes at him. "What are you doing here?"
Qin Song shook the briefcase in his hand. "Shall I leave?"
Jessica's eyes lit up, and she snatched the briefcase from her hand. "You've got some conscience after all!"
"This thing can't be researched in the R&D department."
"Where are we going?"
"I'll find you a place."
Qin Song has already set up a secret laboratory.
Let Jessica practice with the Iron Man armor first, and then bring out the Berserker prosthetic body once the lab is complete.
Xiang Qing's strength served as a reminder to him that technology can sometimes counter superpowers.
The fact that the technology of the Abyss Walkers existed in the era in which Mana Primordial existed shows that technology is not entirely useless.
Jessica fiddled with it for a while, then asked, "How do I turn it on?"
Qin Song smiled and said, "Want to know?"
Upon seeing this, Jessica immediately became alert. "What do you want?"
"Come with me if you want to know."
Watching Qin Song walk towards the dormitory, Jessica gritted her teeth and had no choice but to follow.
Half an hour later, Jessica rolled her eyes and scoffed.
Qin Song leaned against the headboard, lit a cigarette, and watched as she slowly covered her graceful body.
"Do you want to receive the blessing of the Holy Light?"
Jessica raised her eyebrows slightly. "I'm a staunch atheist. Would the Holy Light bless me?"
"Yes, your efforts have been recognized by the Holy Light."
“But I don’t need to go down to the ground.” Jessica said with some regret, grabbing her Iron Man suit and heading out.
"That's a pity. The Holy Light also said it would bless you with more advanced professional skills and knowledge, but since you're unwilling..."
"Wait! What skills and knowledge?" Jessica suddenly turned around.
Qin Song smiled and shook his head, "If Holy Light says you don't want to, then forget it."
Jessica immediately scurried over to Qin Song's side, grabbed his hand and shook it, "Just tell me!"
Qin Song said sternly, "Kneel down!"
