I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 576 - 314: Protagonist’s Gift - Seed of the Holy Spirit

"It’s too expensive; the Protective Umbrella Responsibility Limited Company isn’t targeting individual vendors at all, but those major powers," Gu Shanhai grumbled. He knew that the arms produced by the Protective Umbrella Responsibility Limited Company weren’t sold to individuals, as individuals couldn’t afford such a large transaction expenditure, colloquially known as not having money.

They generally sell to rebels, revolutionaries, and various other major forces.

And the service principle is indeed that the customer is God.

Just like the Holy God Sect, the Protective Umbrella Responsibility Limited Company treated them as God, and if the other party had money and also bought their products, then their identity was that of a merchant, providing exceptionally thorough service.

But if it was now, when the Holy God Sect not only lacked money but was also on the brink of collapse, the Protective Umbrella Responsibility Limited Company still considered them Gods, only now their identity was that of the Abyss Clan, irreconcilable with God, not only providing no help but also underhandedly stabbing them in the back.

This situation made Gu Shanhai’s eyelid twitch.

Don’t ask how he knew, because the number of Divine Contracts he held had dramatically decreased, the Holy God Sect was left with only a little over three thousand people. If it was Saint City that took action, they wouldn’t have died off so completely, it could only have been the work of the Protective Umbrella Responsibility Limited Company, who operated at a higher level.

The remaining three thousand or so probably survived because they didn’t meet the quality standards of the Protective Umbrella Responsibility Limited Company.

It was also because of this that the once vigorous campaign against the Holy God Sect had entered its latter stages and might come to a close after a while.

After that, Rein should also be returning soon.

He was still waiting for Rein to give him the strategy for the adventure lands, hoping nothing else happened on the way back.

If there was another incident, Gu Shanhai would have to personally take action and bring them back.

As a result of waiting like this, another month passed by, and as Gu Shanhai grew stronger, his perception of time also stretched. It was like an experiment that might require months or even years of his time—not because of weak capabilities, but because once you reach a certain level, you just can’t hurry up.

"No... it’s not good, Uncle Gu," the Demon Giant Swordsman Vier came running over with a look of urgency.

"What’s wrong now, did you blow up the kitchen, or did Little White start hopping around again?" Gu Shanhai said somewhat helplessly.

As for the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger, these two worked in the Nine States Instrument, only taking a break when necessary, like when Gu Shanhai cooked, practiced alchemy, or artifact refining, as they were tools that needed a rest every now and then.

"No, it’s none of those, there’s news about Rein," Vier hurriedly said.

"He hasn’t died out there, has he?" Gu Shanhai asked, rather annoyed.

"That’s not the case, but it looks like he’s about to," Seeing Gu Shanhai’s demeanor, Vier knew that Gu Shanhai was somewhat dissatisfied with Rein. Not to mention Gu Shanhai, even she was slightly displeased; being out of touch for a month was one thing, but not sending any message back was another.

"About to? How soon could that be?" Gu Shanhai asked, managing to compose his expression.

"They say he’s obtained a sacred treasure from the Holy God Sect called the ’Seed of the Holy Spirit,’ but now he’s being chased down," Vier didn’t hide anything while she spoke.

"Oh, I’m familiar with the plot that follows; chase, counter-kill, another chase, another counter-kill, forming a cycle, and maybe even picking up a pretty girl in the middle," Gu Shanhai was very familiar with the protagonist’s routine and could easily guess the other party’s next situation.

"Uncle Gu, do you think Rein has picked up a pretty girl by now?" Vier hesitated before asking.

"Right now, I suppose he probably hasn’t yet," Gu Shanhai wasn’t sure himself; he had no idea what the situation was.

"What if he has, can you not bring her back?" Vier felt that Uncle Gu was her biggest supporter. Oh, and the other three felt the same.

Basically, Gu Shanhai supported everyone.

"..." Gu Shanhai grimaced, you’re being too blunt, couldn’t you be a bit more subtle?

"I’ll do my best..." Gu Shanhai didn’t have the heart to say that he actually hoped for more people; the deeper Rein’s entanglements, the more he would have to honestly work for him.

"No, wait, how did you rope me into this, what do I have to do with bringing her back? You should tell Rein not to bring anyone back," Gu Shanhai eventually realized, what did this have to do with him? He had no habit of breaking up couples, even if one party might belong to a stud.

"Eh? You don’t plan to rescue Rein?" Vier was surprised.

"Do I need to rescue him???" Gu Shanhai pointed out that this was the protagonist, who routinely turned bad luck into good and danger into safety; it was all too common.

"What if something happens, wouldn’t you mind making a trip to bring him back?" Vier knew Gu Shanhai’s strength, so she earnestly begged him, obviously prioritizing Rein’s life over the potential addition of a girl.

"That’s too much trouble, but fine, I’ll make the trip, lest that guy causes more delays," Gu Shanhai thought for a moment. Leaving Rein to his devices outside might indeed allow him to grow rapidly, but the catch was that his growth had to contribute to Gu Shanhai’s benefits by helping with the adventure lands.

Otherwise, as fast as the other party grew, he would still be working for the world.

What’s the difference who you work for if not for your own apprentice? Gu Shanhai certainly wouldn’t exploit him to death. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

After casually casting a divination, Gu Shanhai found his location.

"I’ll be right back," Gu Shanhai said, and with the Five Elements Great Escape, he teleported away.
