Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 884

As for the extent to which it can be achieved, Lu Yunhe doesn't care. It's just a chess piece tossed aside at will. The most important thing is one's own strength.

“I just started working here on the Dream Path, so it will probably be difficult to advance further in a short period of time,” Lu Yunhe pondered.

Although he could basically advance by lying down, it still takes time.

"Fortunately, I don't rely entirely on the Path of Dreams."

Lu Yunhe is preparing to take on part-time jobs; some professions, once you find the right direction, can lead to rapid progress.

"Divine Power Flow takes up a position in the Life Dao lineage!"

Lu Yunhe set his sights on the physical body, while the Path of Dreams still focuses on the spirit and soul, which won't do.

Lu Yunhe was very confident in the Divine Body Dao, even more so than in his mastery of a single Origin Dao.

After he studies it thoroughly, he will be qualified for a career in the Life Dao lineage.

As for the punishment for working part-time, Lu Yunhe didn't care, since he would just use his cheat code when the time came.

"On the surface, he's a hypnotist; in reality, he's a warrior," Lu Yunhe chuckled.

When the time comes, treat him like a squishy support, overcome all obstacles to reach him, and when you think victory is in your grasp, unleash his melee abilities, even more exaggerated than his support abilities. I wonder what kind of expression you'll have.

"Isn't this where the power comes in?"

Preparing to pursue a part-time career in the Life System requires significant resources, and the development of Wild Mo also holds some meaning for him.

"There's also the issue of faith!"

Lu Yunhe looked at the statue of Modius. It wouldn't be right to let him brainwash them one by one, although it wasn't impossible.

"Let's take Blackwater City first!"

Lu Yunhe began body tempering. As for the hypnotist profession, with the feedback from the God of Dreams, he didn't need to worry about it and was constantly improving.

……

Meanwhile, Ye Mo returned and gathered a group of his underlings.

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

Although Ye Mo had been suppressed before, his underlings were full of enthusiasm, after all, they had gained a lot from defeating the Blood Hand Gang.

Although professionals are considered extraordinary, there are still different levels among ordinary people.

In particular, ordinary people who have been carefully trained can also pose a threat to professionals when they join forces.

Ye Mo glanced at his underlings present. Right now, he could single-handedly slaughter everyone present.

A difference of one professional level is like heaven and earth.

"Boss, should we take a break and recuperate, or continue to annex other gangs?" the Wild Wolf Gang's strategist asked in a low voice.

Those who are willing to join gangs are basically ambitious people who are not content with the status quo and want to risk their lives for a future.

If you live an honest life, you probably will never become a professional.

Although the voices were soft, the gang members present were all quick-witted and listened intently.

"Of course we'll continue!"

Ye Mo stared at his underlings like a ferocious wolf, exuding the aura of a wilderness chieftain.

"If you want to become a professional, you have to eat their flesh and drink their blood."

Resources are limited; if we don't fight for them, are we just waiting for a windfall?

Most importantly, ordinary gangs like theirs don't have any professional system, making it incredibly difficult to even become the weakest professional.

Only by annexing other gangs and acquiring a large amount of resources can they support other professionals.

These underlings want to become professionals, but the current Wild Wolf Gang is far from enough, unless Wild Mo is willing to allocate resources to train his subordinates first.

However, the purpose of cultivating a gang is for one's own benefit; how could one put the cart before the horse?

In other words, resources that he doesn't need will end up in the hands of his underlings.

For extraordinary forces, the resources invested in their leader are indeed far more valuable than those invested in the rest of the force.

"Yes!"

"Eat meat!"

Led by the wolf leader, the many underlings also became excited.

Merely annexing the Blood Hand Gang is far from satisfying their appetite.

For these small gangs, it's a matter of either progressing or falling behind; they must leech off other gangs to maintain their vigorous growth.

As for the suppression from the land king, that's something the gang leader needs to consider.

These underlings only needed to follow behind and fight. If the gang failed, they would just switch to another gang. They had absolutely no loyalty.

We will only consider the matter of order once the entire power structure is completely stable.

In the lower city, gangs like these rise and fall, with a new batch emerging almost every so often. The pace is too fast, leaving little time for players to develop their strength.

"First, we'll annex all the gangs in the South District, then challenge the King of Nancang, and finally occupy the entire Lower District. Then, everyone can enter the Upper District," Ye Mo said.

Whether it's achievable or not is another matter; first, paint a picture of the future, giving people a goal to strive for.

"Boss is awesome..."

Although they were somewhat shocked by their leader's ambition, all they needed to know was that they could keep fighting until they became professionals, and then retire gracefully.

Ordinary people live too precariously, while professionals can have a clear sense of direction and make informed decisions.

Whether you own a business in the downtown area or leave behind a legacy in a remote place, it's all fine.

As for becoming the lord of the dungeon, that was something I never even considered, something I wouldn't dare dream of.

Ye Mo didn't care much about his subordinates' thoughts. He was different now; he had a family and a master to support him, as well as a god he worshipped.

Before the gods, not to mention the lower city, even the entire Blackwater City is nothing but a floating duckweed.

Originally, Ye Mo was just fantasizing about becoming a Silver-level professional, but now he feels that he has latched onto a powerful figure and can definitely get a glimpse of Gold, or even Legendary.

At that time, any family-wanted criminal will be the family's ancestor.

These lackeys in front of me have no idea who they are or what kind of entity is behind them.

With a look of triumph on his face, Ye Mo looked down at all his underlings and transformed into his werewolf form.

"Set off!"

Subsequently, the Wild Wolf Gang launched a full-scale attack, led by Ye Mo, disregarding the treaty and directly targeting other gangs.

Although his subordinates were of average strength, the werewolf-like Ye Mo was incredibly powerful, making him virtually invincible among the Black Iron level.

The "Black Iron" level professionals cultivated in these small towns within small rural areas, aside from their passion and fighting spirit, lack the hard skills of professionals with a solid foundation.

Although Ye Mo doesn't have much of a foundation, he has powerful backers and is on a completely different level from these untrained professionals.

"die!"

With a single claw strike, Ye Mo tore the gang leader to pieces, leaving the latter with an incredulous expression until his death.

"What's the use of living a long time?" Ye Mo licked the blood off his claws and said with disdain.

This gang consists of veteran professionals, whose strength is said to be unfathomable. However, once a fight breaks out, they are nothing special and won't cause them much trouble.

After killing the gang leader, the gang's underlings collapsed and completely lost the will to resist.

"Let's regroup and move on to the next one."

Having just gained power, Ye Mo's ambitions naturally extend beyond this. What's the point of occupying one or two more streets? He still needs to find the key figure.

However, his strength and influence are not yet sufficient. He must take advantage of this gap to gather the strength of the masses and overturn the sky above him, creating a fait accompli with lightning speed.

In this process, Yemo prefers to complete it step by step on its own, rather than relying on its master's power.

The master is there to support him from behind, not to assist him.

If the owner has to do all the work, what's the point of keeping this dog?

"Besides his own strength, the King of Nancang also has several powerful professionals under his command. He cannot fight against the entire Southern District by himself alone," Ye Mo thought to himself.

"I need more professional helpers!"

After being brainwashed, Ye Mo did not become an idiot; in fact, his potential was unleashed.

After all, Lu Yunhe personally intervened, and it wasn't some crude hypnosis; it could even be said that he stimulated Ye Mo's spiritual potential.

Hypnosis is not only a negative skill; it also has extremely positive effects.

Even without mentioning him, the mere elimination of distracting thoughts and the undivided mind are of great benefit to cultivation.

Of course, if given a choice, Ye Mo probably wouldn't be willing to pay such a price.

Having made up his mind, Ye Mo immediately gathered the resources at his disposal and prepared to cultivate trusted confidants.

Training junior professionals isn't too difficult, as long as you're willing to invest the resources.

Materials can be bought in the lower city as long as you have the money, especially since he is the leader of a gang.

Rituals are common in gang conflicts these days, where gangs are often wiped out, and there is no shortage of corresponding rituals.

Especially for professions involving combat, war, and killing, conflict itself is the best ritual.

As for the most crucial person and the innate talent, that does require a bit of probability.

However, those who can climb up from the bottom are usually quite strong-willed and have a high success rate.

However, these professionals lack proper training and are deficient in weaponry and secret techniques. They can only be considered the weakest of the superhumans and are not taken seriously by professionals with complete systems.

Even so, it's enough for most people.

After all, once you become a professional, strength is secondary, and your status and lifespan are also far superior to those of ordinary people; you can make up for it little by little.

Subsequently, while attacking other gangs, Ye Mo purchased suitable career paths to train his subordinates.

In an instant, two more gangs were destroyed. Ye Mo killed one gang leader with a combination of fighting and pulling, while demonstrating his strength and the domineering presence of the werewolf leader. He then subdued the other gang leader, or became the deputy gang leader.

Those who can establish gangs and control the streets in the dungeon must have professional-level strength, and not weak at all.

After recruiting a professional, the entire Wild Wolf team no longer had to rely on just one professional to maintain its reputation. If this continued, the snowball would only get bigger and bigger.
