Chapter 2174: Being Noticed
Actually, one of the main reasons the Ghost Child Gang set up the mission office was to better understand the potential of the surrounding rogue cultivators. Outstanding rogue cultivators would be invited into the gang.
Gangs couldn’t compare to sects. Firstly, they didn’t have enough foundation. And second, they lacked talents. Even if a talented person joined the gang, the sect would almost always poach them.
There are all kinds of geniuses in the world. Some talents can be seen almost immediately. With how fast they cultivate, it would be difficult for them to remain unnoticed. But there were also geniuses that appeared average in the beginning. Their actions might even be less than average. Such people wouldn’t be noticed by the sects. But because sects couldn’t choose any genius, missing one or two wouldn’t be a loss.
Geniuses were also very important to gangs. In the underground world, even if two gangs serve the same sect, they weren’t harmonious with each other. They would attack the other gang and swallow their power. Small gangs were being annexed every day. Big gangs might also disappear overnight. Naturally, there were also gangs that hold power equal to sects, but such gangs were very rare.
Despite having a small chance, as long as there are successes, people would always want to claw their way upwards. The most difficult thing to control in the world was the human heart. Everyone holds ambition. As long ambition exists, struggle will also exist.
The Ghost Child Gang wasn’t a very big gang. They also hoped to absorb geniuses into the gang. This way, it doesn’t matter if the genius was absorbed by the sect or not, they would be helpful to the gang. If the genius was absorbed by a sect, it was equivalent to forming a closer relationship with the sect. If the genius stays in the gang, they can become a core member, which would increase the combat strength of the gang.
Zhao Hai’s quick completion of missions was a noteworthy matter. It must be known that the missions that Zhao Hai took weren’t only the easy ones like picking herbs or ores. He also took on difficult missions. Despite the increase in difficulty, Zhao Hai still managed to finish quickly. This was the primary cause of the Ghost Child Gang’s attention.
In the assembly hall of the Ghost Child Gang were several people. At the head was a person who looked around 30 years old. He had fair skin as well as strands of hair floating near his chest. He looked very unnatural.
This person looked handsome, but his smile looked evil. It was the kind of smile that had a fatal attraction to women.
This man was the leader of the Ghost Child Gang, Zhong Busan. He was also known as the Twin Ghost. His name sounded very strange. He was known to be a pain to deal with. He also practiced the Ghost Child Technique. When average people cultivate the Ghost Child Technique, it is already good if they refine a ghost child. However, Zhong Busan actually had two ghost children. Moreover, his ghost children were special. His two ghost children were twins. Because of this, he became the most powerful cultivator in the Ghost Child Gang.
Zhong Busan’s name wasn’t originally Zhong Busan. He changed his name to mean that he would never want a third ghost child. The reason Zhong Busan changed his name was for his twin ghost children. Others might think this was to suppress the two ghost children, but only Zhong Busan knew the real reason. Zhong Busan didn’t subdue the twin ghost children using his soul. The twin ghost children were geniuses that were meant to be born. After the ritual, they were able to open their eyes and see people. And since the first person that the twins saw was Zhong Busan, they regarded him as a relative and would listen to his command. When others said that Zhong Busan could nurture a third ghost child, the twins became angry. They almost rebelled. In order to appease the twin ghosts, he changed his name to Zhong Busan.
Zhong Busan sat on his throne with an evil smile that wouldn’t change for a thousand years. His eyes were squinted as he looked at the cultivator standing in front of the door, “You mean a rogue cultivator managed to finish 100 missions in just a month? He completes two to three missions a day?”
The Ghost Child Gang member said, “Replying to the Gang Leader, I can ensure that the report isn’t wrong. We have records of his missions. To ensure that he only completed his missions, we examined the marks in his token. It was found that only he touched his token. We are certain that he finished his missions alone.”
Zhong Busan nodded, he turned to the others in the room and said, “Everyone, what do you think?”
Everyone in the hall became silent. After some time, one of them said, “Gang Leader, I think we should pay attention to this person. But we must also investigate his origin. We can’t have him bring trouble to the gang.”
Zhong Busan nodded, “What about the others?”
Another person replied, “Gang Leader, the most important thing we need to do now is to be certain if he really relied on his own strength to complete those missions. If it is confirmed, we can absorb him into the gang.”
Zhong Busan nodded and said, “It’s been a while since the Ghost Child Gang welcomed an interesting character. Our connection with the Battle Corpse Sect is fainter. If this fellow is really a genius, we can send him to the sect. When the time comes, he can bring benefits to the gang.”
Everyone nodded. Although Zhong Busan was ambitious. He wasn’t arrogant enough to think about replacing the Battle Corpse Sect. Not to mention the current strength of the Ghost Child Gang, even if the gang was ten times stronger, it still wouldn’t be able to challenge the Battle Corpse Sect. The gap between the two was too big.
Seeing that nobody opposed, Zhong Busan said, “Have everything arranged by tomorrow. Have people shadow that person and see if he really completes his missions alone. Even if completes the missions alone, I want to see what techniques he uses. The others will need to dig up any information about this person. Find out until eight generations of his ancestors.”
The people loudly complied. Zhong Busan waved his hand, allowing the others to leave. Looking at everyone, Zhong Busan smiled and said, “Let’s see what background that fellow has.”
Zhao Hai didn’t know that he had already attracted the attention of the Ghost Child Gang. But this was also his goal. He wants to join the gang but not the Battle Corpse Sect. As long as he joins the gang, he would obtain an official status. With this, he could begin his plan of retaliating against the Ghost Cultivators without attracting attention.
Zhao Hai has long wanted to begin retaliating against the Ghost Cultivators. But as long as he made a move, the entire underground world would know that the revenge of the True Spirit Realm has come. Then they would chase him everywhere. Even if Zhao Hai could teleport, it still wasn’t safe. Therefore, Zhao Hai needed an identity to act as a cover. In the end, Zhao Hai chose the Ghost Child Gang.
In the entire underground world, only the Ghost Child Gang would accept people arbitrarily. They wouldn’t even check if that person was good or not. In the end, they brought trouble to the gang.
Although the Ghost Child Gang became stricter in accepting members, it wasn’t too strict. As long as a person was competent, even if they cannot find out their origin, the gang would still accept them.
The Ghost Child Gang’s approach was understandable. The underground world was too big, not much smaller than the True Spirit Realm. There were plenty of cultivators who caused trouble and ran far away. And the trouble they caused wasn’t worth chasing them around. Because of this, as long as the Ghost Child Gang accepted someone powerful, the trouble was worth it.
Although the Ghost Child Gang received a few troublemakers, this method was still able to increase the gang’s strength.
Due to all these considerations, Zhao Hai chose to use the Ghost Child Gang to provide him with an identity.
The next day, Zhao Hai went to the Ghost Child Gang’s mission hall to accept the day’s missions. As soon as he entered the mission hall, Zhao Hai felt that something was different. He immediately used the Space to monitor the surroundings. But strangely, Zhao Hai didn’t find anything.
This caused Zhao Hai to stare. The Space’s monitoring has always been successful. This was the first time that it didn’t discover anything.
Although the Space didn’t see anything, Zhao Hai was certain that the other party wasn’t far from him. Moreover, he was very close and was observing him.
Zhao Hai immediately scanned the people in the hall. There were plenty of people inside. Although some were staring at him, Zhao Hai felt that they weren’t a threat. Almost everyone in the mission hall were rogue cultivators who didn’t pose a danger to Zhao Hai.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Hai had a thought. He immediately asked the Space to scan the people in the hall once more. He wanted to see if there were new faces. He might find the other party using this method.
