Chapter 38: Eye of God

The supervisor of the intelligence mission center of the Dayuan City League, surnamed Wang, is a middle-aged man who, although not yet bald, has already taken to consuming goji berries, his gaze tired and devoid of worldly desire.

Recently, he had received instructions from above and was busy entering information on a forbidden existence that had just been discovered, buried deep in the river of history.

The task seemed simple, but in reality, it was not only necessary to specify the code name and threat level, but care also had to be taken to avoid revealing too much information to prevent the forbidden entity from awakening.

This meant that the procedure was not as simple as sending an email; it required phone calls to remind leaders in various places not to tamper with the historical river, and there was a need to explain the situation to those old-fashioned archaeologists, several times ending up being cursed at violently…

The life of an adult man is just being busy to death by a single sentence from a superior, coming home from a plain and exhausting day, only to be kidney-punched by one’s own wife, leading to a sore back and aches.

And the most critical point is not having risen to the occasion…

Tired? Let the world be destroyed!

“Even so, I can still have a say in the big decisions at home, even though there haven’t been any major incidents in our ten years of marriage… But I heard that the starlight goji berries produced by the specialty starlight goji tree in the City of Stars are not only beautiful in appearance, studded with starlight, but also one berry is equal to sixty normal ones. I should take the opportunity to buy some with my personal funds to give them a try…” Supervisor Wang thought to himself, and as usual, he made his rounds. Although he lacked enthusiasm, a leader’s inspection is the best way to ensure that employees work properly, at least on the surface.

Today, he made his rounds without any issues and let out a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to go back and research aphrodisiac secrets, he saw Xu Xiaotao, who had a dazed expression on her face.

Seems like a new face?

Supervisor Wang recalled a bit and indeed, there were new recruits who arrived this afternoon.

Although she had a youthful face and a striking figure, it could not evoke even the slightest bit of worldly desire in him.

However, as a leader, seeing a subordinate in difficulty, he still had to express concern:

“Xiao Xu, are you facing any difficulties with your work?”

That’s what he said, but it was merely a courtesy; superiors hope you’ll say there’s no problem and then solve it yourself.

Xu Xiaotao snapped out of her daze and quickly said:

“Supervisor, there seems to be a problem with my system backend. A new recruit has taken on multiple tasks at the same time.”

Is that all?

Young people who haven’t seen the world really love to make a fuss!

Supervisor Wang waved his hand and said indifferently: “It’s quite normal to take on multiple tasks. Once you get promoted, you can do just that. For a newcomer, it might be someone who exchanged for a gold medal. Every year there are such arrogant youngsters who take on multiple tasks at once, and later because they cannot complete them in time, they end up with such a low completion rate that they are punished by the system and prohibited from taking tasks for half a year.”

Xu Xiaotao’s expression did not ease; instead, it became more anxious. She urgently said: “No, supervisor, please take a look and you will understand!”

Supervisor Wang was also somewhat speechless. These young people really have too many issues but was too lazy to argue. He was ready to glance at it, then find an excuse to escape to the office to rest.

However, this glance completely stunned him.

Because this ID, called “Wolf,” had indeed taken on five tasks.

What was different from ordinary people was that beneath his five tasks, six completed tasks were already displayed.

Most of these completed tasks were hunting types, but what was strange was that the time intervals between them were mostly ten minutes, at most fifteen minutes.

This meant that after each task was completed, the next one was swiftly undertaken, achieving a perfect cycle.

Moreover, looking at the task locations and their trajectory, Supervisor Wang had a vague feeling that something was not right.

“It can’t be…”

Supervisor Wang was not lacking in ability; he was even sensitive to data, otherwise, he would not have become a leader. A terrifying hypothesis emerged in his mind, and he immediately pulled up the map and marked the task locations, only to discover that they were arranged in a line.

One task after another, the lights went out, illuminating a perfect route heading west!

Supervisor Wang’s mouth opened wide in shock.

This person was not only powerful but also intelligent like a demon, perfectly calculating all the tasks’ required time and location, and achieving the most time-efficient route through proper sequencing.

To achieve this, in theory, this person known as “Wolf” not only needed a speed or space-type pet beast, but he would have to spend most of his time traveling, with only a fraction of it available for completing tasks.

This required him to

defeat opponents in mere seconds!

Truly a master player treating the real world like clearing a game!

But games can be replayed; reality has no such logic!

Moreover, Supervisor Wang also discovered that this guy’s registration as a pet beast master and the exchange for the gold medal occurred on the same day, which means…

He had only been a pet beast master for a few days!

As they were still in shock, another task was completed, followed by the acceptance of a new task, continuously advancing towards the city’s west on the map.

The entire process was like opening the Eye of God, overlooking the mortal world.

They even figured out his strategy.

His target was the final 1.5-star task: hunting the hyenas!

The two exchanged glances and could see the astonishment in each other’s eyes, simultaneously voicing the thought in their minds:

“Monster!”

…………………………

Meanwhile, Lu Yu had no idea that he had already caused a small sensation and was being regarded as a monster.

At this moment, he was standing on a field, with his eyes closed, enjoying the rustic scenery.

Boom!

Suddenly, the land around him began to churn, along with a large amount of dirt and mud flying around as four one-meter-long earth-eating earthworms burst out of the ground, opening their sinister mouths towards Lu Yu.

If bitten, one would be left in a bloody and mangled state, even if not dead.

However, facing this imminent attack, Lu Yu just looked down to unlock his screen, glanced at the time, and said:

“The time is about right. It’s time to move on to the next task.”

As soon as the words fell, numerous threads spread out, tightly wrapping around the four earth-eating earthworms trying to attack the human, instantly bundling them into four large cocoons, lying motionless on the ground.

The battle ended in an instant.

For the earth-eating earthworms of Intermediate Servant rank, they were mere ants in front of Little Spider.

If Little Spider awakened a deterrent ability similar to the aura of a ruler, it would further suppress creatures weaker than itself!

“Thank you very much for taking action and saving our village’s crops; you’ve preserved everyone’s food supply!”

“So powerful, truly befitting of a professional pet beast master!”

“This battle is even more domineering than the ones I’ve seen on TV!”

“…”

Seeing Lu Yu easily deal with the earth-eating earthworms, the village chief and the villagers of New Leaf Village watching from a distance also came over, uttering complimentary words and looking utterly shocked.

It’s known that earth-eating earthworms, although only of Intermediate Servant strength, can move freely underground and like to devour fertile land. They prefer to attack living creatures in groups from underneath and then escape after their attack.

Because of this characteristic, even pet beasts at the peak of the Servant rank can do nothing against them and are even likely to be injured by their swarming attacks.

The village’s guardian beast was injured because of this, and in desperation, they sought help from outsiders.

But above the peak of the Servant rank is the Silver rank pet beast master, most of whom went to undertake Silver tasks. The little money they offered could not entice one.

At first, when the village chief saw Lu Yu arrive, he was somewhat disappointed. Later, when he went directly to the center of the field, he seemed like a total novice, and the village chief prepared to call for an ambulance.

However, unexpectedly, all the earth-eating earthworms attacked as before, and in the blink of an eye, they were defeated.

It was as simple as eating and drinking.

If it weren’t for the fact that the opponent’s identity information was only a Bronze rank pet beast master, they would have thought that a Silver rank pet beast master had come to do a good deed.

Pet beast masters, being people above others, and their powerful counterparts are even more revered.

“This is what I should do.”

Lu Yu also smiled in response, neither rude nor overly familiar, rejecting some villagers who wanted to introduce him to a girlfriend, and then quickly concluded the task with the village chief.

Next, just wait for a callback from the Pet Beast Association and confirmation from the village committee before the money is transferred to his account.

The disposal of the earth-eating earthworms was naturally taken away by him, and the villagers had no objections.

They also feared a mishandling might let the earth-eating earthworms escape again, plus they were not adept at collecting materials, so it was best to leave it to a professional.

“Although the gold medal’s limit allows for taking up to twenty tasks, there are only seventeen suitable hunting tasks in the route. Having completed ten tasks, seven remain. With the time calculated, I can just make it to the hyena task.”

Lu Yu pondered this in his mind, utilizing the computational power of the “Eye of Truth” to arrange a route that would allow for rapid task completion, along with the two privileges of the gold medal, to perfectly utilize the time discrepancy.

This would achieve what is known in legends as a task achievement feat.

One round trip would yield an income of two to three hundred thousand, easily surpassing his previous total savings.

However, this also required considerable energy. In theory, Little Spider simply could not sustain such frequent combat, and even now, it was somewhat tired.

“But I’m going to be awesome!”

Lu Yu looked at Little Spider, who nodded. The crosses on its body shone, the rift of void opened, the brood of the void began, and dark clouds came down. Huge sinister mouths emerged in the mist, grotesque and absurd, as if a Gluttonous Demon God was being revived.

Fortunately, they chose a grove of trees, otherwise, it would be easy to be mistaken for the start of a dark ritual.

The flesh and blood of the pet beasts defeated in previous tasks were digested at this moment, giving birth to offspring belonging to Little Spider.

A deep red radiance spread, turning into streaks of light that burst out from the cracks in the void.

Void Servant Beasts have arrived!
