Chapter 1053: 1050: What Have They Been Trained Into

"Huh? I, Ansheng, traveled a thousand miles, riding the wind to this foreign land, just to be underestimated by you?""I, Ansheng, have come to encounter old friends in a foreign land. Fight!" Master Fuli swung a stick and hit the forehead of the newcomer.

When the latecomers saw the pioneers, no matter what posture they took, invited to come, they were all struck by the big stick. Suddenly a plan came to mind with full confidence, and they moved forward upside down to receive the invitation.

"You lift your behind to glare at me? I, Ansheng, have never seen such a lewd person!"

With a swing of the silver-white long stick, still a hit on the head, Master Fuli snorted coldly and tossed her behind.

"Bang bang bang——"

Under the night sky, the sound of wooden fish never ceased. Whether it was various spiritual particle organizations' forces or local spirit beasts that emerged through mutation, each and every one obediently received Master Fuli's education.

Time slowly passed, gradually reaching the time Master Fuli and Zhang Lin had agreed to gather.

"What happened here...?"

Zhang Lin walked to the periphery of the core area, seeing the scene unfolding before his eyes, couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.

Several groups of foreign people were lined up with spirit beasts in front of Master Fuli.

One by one, they went forward, posing various postures to receive Master Fuli's long stick on their faces.

And behind Master Fuli's position, three to five dozen people and beasts sat scattered on the ground, with their heads raised in large bumps, commenting on those in line.

Some were even peeling peanuts, just as if watching a blockbuster movie, bursting into laughter.

It's not a matter of scarcity but inequality. When everyone knows they must take a hit, a naturally peaceful thought arises.

They no longer cared about the reasons Master Fuli used for hitting them.

They only wanted to see how the latecomers tackled the challenges.

"Did everyone come? Help out and tie them up."

Seeing Zhang Lin, Master Fuli raised his hand to greet them and pointed to the crowd behind him.

"Oh..."

With a stunned look, Zhang Lin responded, subconsciously glancing at Shasha, Lu Tiannan, and Miyel.

"It's not like that....."

Seeing Zhang Lin's dazed eyes, Miyel seemed to know what she was thinking and naturally said:

"At that time, Master Fuli hadn't hit me yet. When my real form was revealed, it scared me so much I slid down in surrender without thinking, though my butt hurt a bit."

As Miyel spoke, a faint ache from Professor Wu's education surfaced on her butt. She didn't mind others' gazes and rubbed her butt.

"No, at least it wasn't so reasonable..." Right-hand side reminisced: "At that time, Master Fuli directly put a knife to my neck and asked me if I wanted to live or die."

With the explanations from right-hand side and Miyel, Zhang Lin looked at Shasha with a numb expression.

"Me? Master Fuli promised food and lodging, so I just raised my butt and went ashore." Shasha thought for a moment and didn't feel that Master Fuli had hit him, not even modifying his genes fundamentally, which doesn't count as a struggle.

Upon hearing about food and lodging, he eagerly followed Master Fuli ashore.

"Um... Do I have to?" Adela listened to the team's narratives, hesitantly raising her hand to ask:

"I'm a bit afraid of pain. Can I skip the hitting step and surrender directly to Master Fuli?"

Seeing that Master Fuli's trusted aids were all elevated after taking a beating.

Adela suddenly felt out of place, as if subject to invisible isolation and exclusion.

She thought of the family's initiation task and felt she needed to blend in to fit in.

But the beating... can it be lighter, she's afraid of pain.

"......." With a wooden look, Zhang Lin glanced sideways at Adela, who was nervously clutching her clothes in front of her abdomen, her face filled with anxious expressions, feeling hopeless.

For the first time, seeing that even getting beaten requires queuing, and after receiving hits, they politely say thank you.

What has this been modulated into for a factory setting?

"Go help out!"

With a powerless expression, Zhang Lin waved, gathering everyone to move forward and tie up the captives.

"Remember to bind the spirit beasts too; they're all doggies. I need to drag them back to gift to friends as little brothers."

Master Fuli seemed to recall something, turned to Zhang Lin, and reminded.

A hundred plus canine spirit beasts were all sent to Spirit Beast Gang as the support team. When Ah Bai's wolf pack traits activated, its overall strength is likely to make a significant leap.

Zhang Lin, along with Black Panther Lady and the others, were busy for almost an hour, packaging everyone into the muck truck Miyel had called over.

"Mission accomplished!"

"But... what's the purpose of binding them?" Zhang Lin stood tall, reported on the progress, and looked at Master Fuli in confusion.

"It's for ransom, of course!" Master Fuli looked at Zhang Lin oddly: "Didn't Security Bureau teach you?"

"....." Zhang Lin shook her head woodenly.

She was in charge of Imperial Capital's security affairs, leaning towards spiritual particle incidents, and was unaware of foreign matters.

Or maybe... in the entire Security Bureau, only Li Wenkang's researcher lineage, and his disciples and granddisciples in the Forest Ranger Training Academy, would be so unconventional.

Not every honorary principal would go for opportunistic gains.

"So, if you're unsure of the process, hail a ride to send them back to Xia Country. When Old Li or Professor Wu return, hand them over." Seeing Zhang Lin's confusion, Ansheng waved his hand and said.

"By the way, Triss needs special attention. It's said her family ancestors were once the world's richest. A few burn marks from cigarette butts might yield thousands of job positions."

"Job positions?"

"Yes, after deducting social security and provident fund, there'll still be about ten thousand left over for a job." After Master Fuli finished, Zhang Lin's gaze towards those people changed visibly.

Confusion→Realization→Shock→Joy.

"We don't need to manage them for now; they can't run. I'll register their names and family details—each is a neighbor or relative. If they escape, I'll visit their homes."

"Let's dig the ruins first..."

Seeing Zhang Lin completing her enlightenment, Ansheng steered the topic back on track, preparing to descend into the rift for excavation.

This group doesn't include anyone from the Mayflower Organization, so there's no worry about them stabbing us in the back.

"Shasha, maximize the radar, constantly monitor the changes in life signs around."

Ansheng gave an order, raised his hand, summoned a European Wild Bull as a mount, and headed straight for the earthquake rift.

Zhang Lin injected herself with spiritual particle potion and jabbed spiritual particle potion onto Jin Wu's butt.

The two simultaneously completed spiritualization, and Jin Wu's form quickly swelled into a sphere, extending limbs, transforming into a muscular man roughly 1.8 meters tall.

"The color changed....."

After completing spiritualization, Jin Wu activated his unique [Spiritual Vision] trait, allowing him to see the refraction of light.

Furui City was enveloped in a red glow, with various shades of red in chaotic colors like dense spider webs scattered before Jin Wu.

"The brightest one is over there." Jin Wu pointed out the only different color to Master Fuli.

Other colors had repeats, but only a shade of purple-red was unique in Furui City.

And the direction Jin Wu pointed to was precisely the rift.

"Great!"
