The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

"Heroes...are you leaving Yunshan City?"

"Yunshan City can't be without bandits!"

"Is it because the authorities are after them, so they dare not stay here?"

"Logically speaking, the strongest among them can instantly kill world bosses, so they shouldn't be afraid of being wanted."

"Perhaps such a powerful figure is not usually around; the underlings among the bandits seem to be of average strength."

"Bandits, regardless of their strength, are all heroes! Don't forget, they exposed the Zhao family's bloody secret deals, something not everyone has the courage to do."

"The authorities can't do this! There's no reason to push local powerhouses outwards!"

"Today is just a world boss siege battle. If the Abyss invades in the future, Yunshan City won't be able to withstand it!"

"We need to get an explanation from the authorities!"

It was already daylight, and there were no thousands of monsters providing cover or obstructing the view on the outside.

Song Gua couldn't hide all his clones inside his body in front of so many eyes.

He was going to lead his clones into the wilderness, into the foggy area, into a place where there would definitely be no one, no surveillance, and no drones.

However, in the eyes of the citizens...

The bandit's silhouette was quite moving.

When the crisis struck, they descended like divine soldiers, saving Yunshan City from dire straits.

He left without seeking credit or fame after accomplishing his task.

For Yunshan City, it is absurd that such a group of saviors are being suppressed and wanted by the authorities.

The citizens grew increasingly angry as they thought about it, seemingly projecting their own feelings onto some wronged national heroes in history.

The citizens dared not go out into the countryside, and could only lament the injustice on the ruins of the city wall, demanding an explanation from the authorities.

Song Gua and his clones hadn't gone far when a person emerged from the woods ahead.

Lin Ruqing.

Her equipment was tattered and looked like it was about to break down.

The giant hammer in his hand also had many corners chipped off.

She fought bravely in the forest, repelling the monsters within her power.

Although it has little impact on the overall situation.

"You must be the leader of the bandits."

Song Gua touched the dice mask on his face.

Yes, it's a die.

But Song Gua knew that she meant "head", not "dice".

"What are you trying to persuade me of now?"

"I just wanted to say thank you. I'm also from Yunshan City. By protecting Yunshan City, you've protected my hometown and my family."

"It's nothing, move aside, we have other things to do."

"Where are you going? Why don't you go back to the city?"

Song Gua glanced at her speechlessly.

"Look at us, wearing hoods every day, do we look like people who could live in the city?"

"You are heroes now. Even if the authorities are after you, no one will dare to touch you."

"You're too naive. Move aside, we're in a hurry."

Song Gua was in a hurry to sort out his gains this time and didn't have time to waste words with her.

He gave his clones a wink, and they immediately understood, riding their giant summons forward.

"Make way! Make way!"

Lin Ruqing was pushed to the side of the road and watched as the bandits left in a large group.

"Thanks--"

No one responded to her.

"She's quite aloof."

In fact.

"Boss, I want to look back. Senior Lin's armor is torn, and there are some dazzling things that are catching my eye."

"Screw you, I'll send you a website when we get back, you can look at it slowly."

"The viewing experience in 2D is never as good as in 3D."

"Don't interact with her too much, lest she notice something from her words and actions."

Although the clones were inwardly restless, they remained obedient in their actions.

We did not lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of small gains.

After arriving in the no-man's-land, Song Gua retracted all his clones.

Then I switched places with the guy from the bandit headquarters who was getting on the bus.

The guy in the car stood alone in the wilderness, looking completely bewildered.

"I said, at least let me change jobs! That way I can protect myself in the wild!"

"Find a cave or something to hide in. I'll send you supplies regularly, so it'll be easier for the brothers to leave the city in the future."

"You're using me as a teleportation point, huh?! So cute!!"

Inside the Soul-Devouring Pearl, Curious Guy drifted around.

"So what if you're used as a teleportation point? I've lost my physical body, now I can only be a mouthpiece."

Hearing Curious Guy speak, Song Gua casually asked a question.

"After using the balance scale once, Jiuwan said he felt a loss of soul power. Has the evil spirit changed?"

"Yes, he's gotten a whole size bigger."

"It seems that we really do need to pay with soul power, but we can't sense any change in the soul power."

He also said he was going out to greet your mother.

"Let him stay put and be the engine, and shut the fuck up."

The sky was bright.

The rising sun shines down from the eastern sky, illuminating Yunshan City.

Municipal workers began work, clearing the rubble and rebuilding the city.

Many districts are hosting large-scale celebrations, as if it were an early New Year celebration.

A new day begins.

Those who survived appreciate the beauty of life.

The dead sleep forever.

Meanwhile, in an inconspicuous abandoned warehouse in the suburbs.

The familiar athletes' march resounded.

"Thump thump thump! Thump thump! Thump thump thump! Wait! Thump thump..."

Once again, the host, in his impeccable Mandarin, presided over the second annual Bandit Awards Ceremony.

"Now approaching us is Ghost Bro, the number one contributor to this World Boss battle!"

He controlled more than two thousand summoned creatures throughout the entire process, working tirelessly for a day and a night. His hard work and contributions are truly remarkable!

Most kills! Most protections! Most cover! Most mana consumed!

Let's give them a round of applause!

"Splash..."

Sparse applause broke out.

Exhausted with panda eyes, Ghost Brother staggered onto the awards stage.

"Thank God, thank Earth, thank the old thief for thinking highly of me. I'm awesome, I'm proud, I'm going to celebrate with a celebratory cannon salute."

Song Gua brought over a plate with only one prize on it.

"I've thought about it. Our numbers will only increase in the future, and one central command will definitely not be enough."

However, this item is also used to upgrade the quality of the core collection, so some of it should be kept for consumption.

Therefore, for now we will use two cores. The upgrade priority of the second core is definitely not as high as that of the first core.

"I wonder if you'd be willing to take on the leadership role as the second core member?"

In this battle, the world boss and the three-headed world boss—Walker was killed by Thorne and did not drop any loot.

A total of 6 rally cores dropped.

Only two of the Song Gua are currently in use; the other four are on reserve. If all the other materials are gathered, they might be used to upgrade the first one.

That said, raising these things is very resource-intensive, and it's too expensive to keep too many.

Upon hearing this, Brother Gui was so moved he almost cried.

"really?"

"What's fake about this?"

"I do!"

"Then you can keep this."

The bandits sighed deeply, filled with envy.

Although this second core is only at level one, its bonus is not as good as the first one.

But as the bandits said...

Whether there are any bonuses or not is not important.

The key is identity!

After this battle, Ghost Brother has become the company's second-in-command!

Although its code name is not as good as the Grand Slam, its actual status is likely to surpass that of the Grand Slam!

Ghost Brother grasped the core of the gathering and raised it high above his head.

"I am proud!"
