Gu Qingfeng's loud voice immediately attracted a lot of attention.
He continued, "I know you all look down on my low cultivation level, so you don't choose me. After all, our main task as demon hunters is to fight against demons and monsters. Following a powerful captain would ensure higher safety.
But have you ever thought about this? When executing missions, we will inevitably encounter some powerful demons. It's impossible to always face demons weaker than our captain. What will you do then?"
Gu Qingfeng's question made everyone pause slightly.
What to do? What else can you do? Die!
Someone chimed in, "Master Gu, what can we do when we encounter a demon even our captain can't defeat? Of course, we run away."
Gu Qingfeng nodded, "You're right. Then let me ask you, in such a situation, who in your team has the highest chance of survival?"
"That goes without saying, it's naturally the strongest captain."
"Exactly. The captain has the highest chance of survival. However, if you join my team, I guarantee your survival rate will be much higher than mine."
As soon as Gu Qingfeng said this, some people scoffed.
"Master Gu, are you saying you'll take the lead and sacrifice yourself for us in danger?"
"Yeah, anyone can say nice words. We'll see what happens when real danger strikes."
Facing the doubts, Gu Qingfeng smiled slightly, "You're right. Anyone can say nice words. I can promise you all sorts of things with my mouth, but when danger comes, I might just sell you out. But have you ever thought about a simple logic?"
"What logic?"
Seeing someone bite, Gu Qingfeng smiled even more happily, "That I'm only at the Qi Gathering Fourth Layer."
Everyone was puzzled. What does that have to do with anything?
"You all know that I've mastered Golden Bell Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt. In terms of defense, no one here can surpass me, right?"
No one refuted this. Even the few Yellow Rank demon hunters with much higher cultivation levels than Gu Qingfeng didn't argue because it was indeed a fact.
Gu Qingfeng continued, "Although my defense is strong, don't forget I'm only at the Qi Gathering Fourth Layer. And anyone who has practiced external martial arts knows that the higher the realm, the more cumbersome the body becomes. What does this mean? You should understand, right?"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, a fat man in the crowd's eyes lit up as he figured out the relationship.
"Master Gu, I'll join your team," the fat man hurriedly ran to Gu Qingfeng.
Everyone was stunned, not understanding what was happening.
Gu Qingfeng smiled slightly, realizing there were still some who understood.
"Master Gu, what exactly do you mean?" someone asked, puzzled.
Before Gu Qingfeng could speak, the fat man who joined the team spoke first, "You guys are really dumb, don't you get it?"
"Master Gu's cultivation level is low, and his body is cumbersome. That means, in danger, he's the slowest to run!"
With the fat man's explanation, the crowd suddenly understood.
Gu Qingfeng added, "When encountering a powerful demon, you don't need to run faster than the demon, you just need to run faster than me.
As I said earlier, no matter how nice the words sound, they're ultimately empty. There aren't so many self-sacrificing people. We need to speak with facts.
And the fact is, if you join my team, with your Qi Gathering Late Stage cultivation, you definitely won't run slower than a Qi Gathering Fourth Layer martial artist. So your safety will be greatly increased.
Moreover, with my Golden Bell Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt mastery, even if we encounter a powerful demon, it won't be able to instantly kill me. I can still buy some time for everyone to escape.
This is the simplest logic!
So, in conclusion, my team is the safest team! Welcome everyone to sign up enthusiastically."
After saying this, it was truly enlightening. Those probationary demon hunters all had bright eyes, understanding it all.
Because this was indeed a fact. Can you trust someone who says they'll risk their life to protect you?
Of course not. But you can always trust a captain with strong defense but slow speed. He really will sacrifice himself for you because he simply can't outrun you.
This made many people look at Gu Qingfeng's team with eagerness, even some probationary demon hunters who had already joined other teams were considering switching.
Gu Qingfeng secretly felt proud. Actually, he was lying.
His speed wasn't slow at all. On the contrary, it was very fast, even faster than most Internal Qi Realm martial artists.
This was because his defense wasn't obtained through external martial arts practice. He relied on his physique, the Diamond Body!
Unlike external martial arts that only increase defense, the enhancement of the Diamond Body is comprehensive. Both strength and speed are greatly enhanced, although defense is the most prominent.
And he also had the innate divine strength. Although it sounds like it only increases strength, don't forget that when a person's muscle strength is strong enough, their running speed won't be slow either.
The passive speed enhancement from the Diamond Body and innate divine strength was enough for Gu Qingfeng to surpass most Internal Qi Realm martial artists.
Although Gu Qingfeng lied about his speed, there was one thing he didn't lie about, and that was his team being absolutely the safest.
When encountering powerful demons, others would be running for their lives, but Gu Qingfeng definitely wouldn't run. He might even volunteer to stay behind.
At this moment, the other few Yellow Rank demon hunters looked at Gu Qingfeng with changed expressions, all somewhat dumbfounded.
For the first time, they saw someone so shameless in recruiting subordinates. Such words could actually be spoken. Others talked about slaying demons and monsters, upholding justice, protecting the people. But you? You start by talking about running away.
The key is, it's all so logically convincing that people believe it.
Wang Shu's face was a bit awkward at this moment because he had just said a lot of nice words to recruit subordinates. Gu Qingfeng's words were like slapping his face.
Cui Zimo's face was also not good. He found that some people in his team actually wanted to go to Gu Qingfeng's side.
Immediately, Cui Zimo spoke, "Hmph, as demon hunters of the Demon Suppression Bureau, not thinking about slaying demons and monsters to build merit, but instead thinking about how to run away. All cowards!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd stopped moving, no one dared to approach Gu Qingfeng anymore.
Everyone cares about face. Going to Gu Qingfeng's team now would mean admitting to being a coward.
And the phrase "building merit" also reminded some ambitious probationary demon hunters. Joining Gu Qingfeng's team might be safe, but it's not good for earning merit.
Gu Qingfeng watched his almost full team disperse again, leaving only the first fat man who joined. He was so angry.
I've worked so hard to recruit a few team members, what the hell are you messing around for?
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
ither go to a cultivation world where a single sword strike can defeat ten thousand enemies. Or they travel back to historical dynasties to alter history and wield imperial power. At the very least, they'd go back a few decades to get rich using their future knowledge and build a harem. Who the hell would transmigrate here!
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
