"Jiang Kai, you don't need to think about Zhuzi and Nuannuan either. Wanderers must act alone." Luo Ping explained, "Besides, their strength is not enough to become Wanderers, including the other two members of your Fire God team."
Jiang Kai was stunned for a moment. "Could it be that the strength of the Wanderers is all about the same as mine?"
Luo Ping laughed, "Hahaha, you're quite confident, kid."
"I estimate there should be ones stronger than you!"
"I can reveal a bit — one is a trainee from the Temple of War's reserve camp who hasn't completed the Wanderer mission, and another is an experienced Tier-level player with more than half a year of Wanderer experience. Without even looking at the attribute panel, I can say with certainty that the Wanderer has at least an 80% chance of winning!"
"They have a huge amount of actual combat experience. This kind of experience often comes from life-and-death battles. Being infinitely close to death can fully bring out their talents and skill potential. More importantly, it forces out a person's potential! This is extremely terrifying!"
"Therefore, the final lesson of the reserve camp is to undergo a round of Wanderer mission training. Only by passing this assessment can the reserve trainees officially become members of the Temple of War! And only those who have gone through the Wanderer trials are qualified to enter the Beast God battlefield!"
Jiang Kai nodded. So, the difference between a 'reserve' War God and a real War God wasn't some fifth-tier transcendent job-change material, but a round of Wanderer trials!
"Are all Wanderers fourth-tier professions?"
Luo Ping shrugged, "Not necessarily. There are also transcendent-level ones. Wanderers can obtain high-level materials on their own. Some people don't want to go to the Beast God battlefield too quickly and just linger in the unknown areas."
"After all, there are also civilians among Wanderers. We can't forcibly demand anything from them."
Jiang Kai nodded. Now it seems, the reserve camp of the Temple of War isn't the strongest among fourth-tier — the Wanderers are!
When it was time to arrive at the Main God Council, Jiang Kai picked up a stack of documents given to him by Luo Ping.
Currently, the furthest distance explored by Chinese Wanderers is 102 kilometers outside the safe zone, and the highest-level item obtained is a transcendent seventh-tier item.
It was said to have come from an elite treasure chest… That luck, even Jiang Kai had to admire it with full respect.
"Sigh, the unknown region is too dangerous. Luo God probably doesn't know how much it hurts me to die once…" Jiang Kai shook his head.
But he had already accepted the mission. Luo Ping's guarantee was actually more effective than Old Wei's — after all, Luo was a general of the capital.
Even Liu Yuanxiang and the others were extremely respectful to Luo God, which already said everything.
Of course, there were a few more reasons that made Jiang Kai take on this mission.
One, his own fourth-tier materials. Two, they might be able to help Dongli scout ahead, making it easier to support her later.
"Can't bring teammates now..." Jiang Kai said regretfully. "Forget it, then I won't tell Old Hu and Ruan Yu, so they don't miss me too much."
"When He Shishi and the others report in, I'll head to the unknown map!"
......
The next day, Jiang Kai had just returned from the trading post. These past two days, he had been busy shopping.
Mainly resupply items — the unknown region has no safety zone, no main city, and encountering military squads depends on luck. Better to bring more things.
"Gourmet's recipe, seasonings, water bottles, tents, flint, change of clothes..." Jiang Kai sat in a pavilion, carefully checking the supplies on his list.
"10 large card bags... Is that too many? Whatever, just bring them. 10,000 identification cards, fusion containers... Sigh, it'd be more convenient if I had Ruan Yu with me..."
Just as Jiang Kai was busy, someone gently pushed open the door of the Main God Council.
Jiang Kai thought someone from the council had come, but when he looked up, he found it was four beauties.
Leading the group was He Shishi.
The four of them stood at the entrance, dawdling, looking around, but just wouldn't come in.
"Hey, you're here?" Jiang Kai stood up from afar, warmly greeting, "Come, come, come in."
The four of them looked at Jiang Kai like they were going to eat him.
Yet Jiang Kai didn't mind at all and jogged over to welcome them.
"Great, my guild member count has increased again! Come, apply to join the guild. The guild leader himself will approve your applications."
He Shishi looked at her sisters, and reluctantly, they came to the display screen and applied to join one after another.
"Where's the other one?"
"You killed her." He Shishi said expressionlessly, "She'll log in in a month."
During the application process, Jiang Kai finally figured out that the woman he had killed was Chunlan from the Four Season Flowers.
"I see… Chunlan needs to stay at the Main God for another month, huh."
Xia Hua glared at Jiang Kai, but didn't dare explode. She just angrily turned her head, refusing to look at him.
"Eh? Our guild's Temple of War members has increased to two." Jiang Kai noticed the change in the guild info with surprise. "Shishi, I'm truly honored!"
"Um, I have to go on a trip in the next two days. I'll assign you all some tasks."
"Nothing major — front and back of the door, courtyard, and those houses. Clean what needs to be cleaned, polish what needs to be polished."
"I have OCD. The garden can't have fallen petals and leaves, the rooms must be dust-free, and the entrance must be spotless. Preferably so clean that passersby might slip."
He Shishi couldn't take it anymore. "Jiang Kai, don't push it too far!"
Jiang Kai frowned at He Shishi, "Hey, He Shishi, mind your tone when speaking to the guild leader. If you get expelled during our agreed time, then that means your Xuanwu guild didn't keep your promise."
"You!" He Shishi's eyes widened to twice their usual size. After hearing Jiang Kai's threat, tears welled up in her eyes.
"You're despicable! Shameless! Lowly!"
Jiang Kai smiled and said, "Thanks. Also, I'll have someone inspect your work daily. If you slack off, I'll deduct your guild contribution points. When the time comes, Xuanwu will have to pay it off for you to graduate!"
Tears welled up in Dongxue's eyes.
All four of the Four Season Flowers were considered genius-level players in the reserve camp. Yet now, they had to clean up at a Class-C guild of the Main God Council.
Even worse, this Jiang Kai clearly didn't plan to let them off!
Even big sister Shishi, a War God, had to suffer such humiliation!
Xia Hua glared fiercely at Jiang Kai. "We already came, and you still treat us like this. You're going too far!"
Jiang Kai smiled slightly. "You're already here and still don't know how I'll treat you? Not even mentally prepared? And you call yourselves geniuses. Whatever, get to work. No one cleaned this place before, so you've got a lot to do."
In a fit of anger, He Shishi turned around.
"What are you doing?"
He Shishi said angrily, "I'm… I'm getting a broom!"
Jiang Kai didn't know where he bought some nuts from. While Dongxue was sweeping, he sat beside her peeling them, then threw the shells on the ground.
Dongxue swept a few times, then couldn't stand it anymore and shouted at Jiang Kai, "Hey, what's wrong with you? Such low manners — don't you have OCD?"
"Miss, I have acute OCD. When it flares up, it's serious. When it doesn't, I'm fine." Jiang Kai crossed his legs and continued peeling nuts.
His gaze swept to one room — inside, He Shishi and Qiu Lan were rolling up their sleeves and wiping windows, looking quite hardworking.
Xia Hua was in the yard picking up petals and leaves, trimming the lawn.
Who knew when Jiang Kai's acute OCD would flare up and pick at them again?
At this moment, the base was bustling with activity.
Jiang Kai looked at the scene, immensely satisfied. "To be fair, these beauties are real housewife-type women... Leaving the base to you all, I can set off with peace of mind."
