Chapter 26: Blue and White Squad Follows, Great Reward!

"You're so powerful!"

Wang Lanlan's cheeks were burning hot with embarrassment.

Before, they were rejected protection by Xu Gu and thought it was because Xu Gu was arrogant and ignorant. Now it seemed, he just didn't want them to cause trouble.

"There's always someone stronger out there," Xu Gu was very calm, showing no pride but instead filled with a sense of crisis.

Xia City is vast, and there must be SSS-level, absolutely!

Though they lack external cheats, they have a family background no weaker than cheats, and he still has to struggle hard!

Wang Lanlan was even more ashamed.

Even an S-level has such an awareness.

At this time, she realized that she was somewhat arrogant too.

Although she hadn't shown it outwardly, her heart truly felt that way.

Just like before, she hadn't taken this S-level newcomer, Xu Gu, seriously, even slightly contemptuous.

She was just a B-level, having achieved a bit in the small place of Xia City, when did she begin to despise an S-level Mechanical Man?

"I didn't mean to imply anything about Miss Lanlan," Xu Gu saw Wang Lanlan seemingly misunderstanding and explained with a smile.

Don't think Wang Lanlan is weak, but she holds a high status in Xia City, a top-tier fighter, willing to protect him in ignorance of his strength with her own team.

Though, it was of little use. But he was indeed moved.

Why would he subtly insult them?

Wang Lanlan nodded, not dwelling on those issues, instead she took a deep breath, her eyes burning passionately, very sincerely said:

"Lord Xu Gu, do you need followers?"

Other team members, although surprised by Wang Lanlan's decision, were not caught off guard.

Xu Gu could already beat them easily now! Not to mention, his potential is immense, he is S-level! His future achievements are boundless!

Following Xu Gu would naturally bring many benefits!

And, after this brief interaction, they found Xu Gu to be a decent person. Afraid they might cause trouble, he actively refused their protection. When they encountered danger, he took the initiative to stretch out a helping hand, saving them.

Aligning with Xu Gu is definitely the right choice!

"Lord Xu Gu, please accept us!" Other team members kneeled on one knee, as if knights swearing allegiance to their lord, very sincere.

Xu Gu hesitated for a moment, nodded with a smile, and hinted,

"Should you become my followers, our relationship will no longer be one of equals."

If he wants to relocate the junior munition factory offered by Lin Liu to Xia City and ensure smooth production, troubles may abound.

Just relying on Xia An for protection is far from enough.

He also needs to hire some fighters.

Using the Demon Hunting Teams as fighters would be a waste.

But using the Blue-White Team as fighters, that's just right.

"Thank you, Lord, for taking us in! We're willing to go through fire and water for the Lord!"

Wang Lanlan's face brightened, overwhelmed with excitement, she had faced many challenges throughout the years, but at this moment, she still couldn't control her elation.

As if she was seeing herself rapidly rising through the ranks.

Looking at Xu Gu, who appeared as immense, handsome, and majestic as a colossal figure, Wang Lanlan blushed once more, shyly thinking that becoming Xu Gu's woman would be even better!

But, she soon felt a wave of disappointment, her expression turning gloomy.

She knew she was absolutely not worthy to be Xu Gu's woman, Xu Gu was too outstanding.

Becoming a Car Servant might still be possible.

Car Servant, in Xu Gu's heart, naturally holds a higher status than ordinary followers.

But should she do it? Future prospects on one hand, freedom on the other? She fell into deep conflict.

And if the people of Xia City, both Mechanical Men and ordinary people, knew what Wang Lanlan was thinking at this moment, they would go mad.

Wang Lanlan was one of their most beloved goddesses after all!

Especially, her relatively petite body combined with her extremely cool and stunning appearance made countless ordinary people crazy for her.

Now, choosing whether to become Xu Gu's Car Servant! To become Xu Gu's personal belonging.

Other team members, although not aware of Wang Lanlan's thoughts, were also very excited and thrilled.

Before Wang Lanlan made a choice, Xu Gu yawned as it was getting late, and after a busy day, he indeed felt quite tired, said to Wang Lanlan:

"Leave some people outside for guard duty, if there are any issues, notify me promptly.

"The rest can withdraw.

"Right, about that building incident, I need to report to the Association Chairman of the Mechanical Man, as I did it to kill the followers of Ascension Sect, which was to relieve the nation's troubles, I shouldn't be paying any compensation."

"Yes! The Ascension Sect has committed many evil deeds, every operation they conduct results in heavy casualties. Killing their followers is an absolute merit; how could we let you, sir, pay for that?"

Wang Lanlan puffed up her chest and raised her head, solemnly said: "I will stay and guard around you, my lord."

"We are also willing to guard around you, my lord!" Other team members did the same.

They lined up, puffed up their chests, and said in unison.

The scene was very imposing.

If other riders and ordinary people in Xia City knew about this scene, they would surely be shocked to their core.

Blue and White Squad is the top Mercenary Group in Xia City!

Even the Association Chairman has to negotiate with them for their services. But now, they follow Xu Gu's orders unconditionally.

"You guys arrange it yourselves." Xu Gu didn't care about these.

Wang Lanlan hesitated for a moment and said: "Sir, should we inform the Chairman about today's event?"

She saw Xu Gu being low-key, clearly very strong but unwilling to show off. Therefore, she was unsure if she should report this incident in detail to the Association Chairman.

"It doesn't matter." Xu Gu shook his head, indifferent.

He only used two to three tenths of his strength.

It doesn't matter if it gets out.

He even hoped it could be leaked to gain some support from the Mechanical Man Association and the officials.

In a post-apocalyptic world, concealing one's abilities is plain foolish. The stronger you are, the more support the nation will naturally provide, as long as you don't turn rebellious.

As long as core secrets weren't leaked, Xu Gu was happy to comply.

"Alright!" Wang Lanlan's concerns dissipated, she held back her excitement, looked around at the corpses of the steel mutants scattered on the ground and said:

"These mutant bodies, just like the bodies of Steel Beasts or Mechanical Monsters, can be used to manufacture components or for industrial production, their value is very high.

"How should we handle them, sell them? Or send them to Xu City or Provincial City to be made into components?"

Xu Gu said casually: "They are yours. Handle them as you see fit."

"What?" Wang Lanlan and other team members were utterly shocked, their hearts surged with excitement, and they doubted their own ears, quite taken aback.

30-level War General Level special mutants can already produce C-level components!

Other 30-level Elite Mutants can produce D-level components!

Don't look at Xu Gu having many S-class A-class components, C-class components may seem not valuable, but a C-class component can sell for twenty to thirty thousand points, which is millions of Star Coins!

And there are also authority thresholds.

Wang Lanlan holds a high position in Xia City, and she only has one C-class dynamic auxiliary component.

How could they not be excited and agitated?

They almost felt like prostrating themselves in front of Xu Gu.

You see, they barely helped at all just now; instead, they even caused some troubles, and they have just joined without any contribution; is such a heavy reward appropriate?

"Sir, the value of these bodies might be in the tens of thousands of points, and their significance is higher than points, as they are hard to buy even with money." Wang Lanlan took a deep breath and cautiously reminded Xu Gu.

Xu Gu nodded and said:

"I know. But, for now, this is all I can offer. Starting a venture is always tough, everyone please bear with it a little longer. It will get better."

"What?"

Upon hearing Xu Gu's words, other team members immediately burst into an uproar, their eyes filled with disbelief, feeling as if the world around them was unreal.

Xu Gu actually felt these rewards were too low in value?

Wang Lanlan blinked her eyes, her expression odd.

Did you misunderstand our meaning, sir?

Our point is, these rewards are too valuable!

So valuable that they can hardly believe what's in front of them is real!

But now, Xu Gu meant the current conditions are tough, so he can only give so little rewards? And that there would be more to come?

Is this how it is in the world of big shots?

C-class components are not even considered valuable?

Seeing their response, Xu Gu knew their thoughts, slightly smiled and said: "Serve me well, rewards will definitely not be scarce, this is just the beginning."

If you want a horse to run, you can't expect it to do so without feeding it; freeloaders aren't allowed.

Just paying them is enough to make these people give their lives for him, what a bargain.

Moreover, these bodies, or tens of thousands of points, to him, are indeed just a drop in the ocean, trivial and unworthy of mention.
